The room fell silent the moment the girl dropped to her knees.

Gracelyn blinked once, momentarily stunned.

The girl’s shoulders trembled as she clasped her hands together, her head bowed so low that her hair nearly brushed the floor.

“Please… I’m begging you,” she whispered shakily. “Forgive me. It was a mistake, I didn’t mean it.”

Gracelyn stared at her.

For a moment, she didn’t react.

Her eyes slowly moved down to the dark coffee stain spreading across the front of her ivory blouse. The hot l

  • THE HEIRESS’ STOLEN IDENTITY    Colliding.

    Nathan lay on his bed, the glow from his phone lighting up his face in the dim room.The house was quiet now, as if everyone had gone to sleep, except him.He opened his messages, and immediately texted Nicole.“How did it go?”The typing bubble appeared almost immediately.Then, it disappeared.Then, it appeared again.Nathan smiled faintly.A reply came in.He said, “Fine.”Nathan rolled his eyes playfully, and typed. “That’s it? ‘Fine’?”A few seconds passed.Then, Nicole wrote back. “He didn’t ask much. Not like I can answer him, anyway.”Nathan exhaled, staring at the screen.Of course he didn’t.His fingers hovered over the keyboard before he typed again.“Lucky you. I wish I couldn’t talk sometimes.”He hit send.For a moment, he smirked to himself, but as the seconds turned into a full minute… then two… then three..The smirk faded.His brows furrowed.“Oh…” he muttered under his breath.He sat up quickly.Then, he typed, “Hey… I didn’t mean it like that.”No reply.His chest

    Gracelyn didn’t stop walking until she was completely out of Rex’s line of sight.The moment she turned the corner, shielding herself behind a parked SUV, she dropped, right there, crouching in front of the little boy, who was still in his disguise.Her hands trembled as she held his shoulders.“Nathan..?” she called softly, as if trying to be sure that it was really him.The boy looked at her.And then, he smiled.The way his lips curled slowly, spreading across his face as if he was being mischievous that she usually called “Nathan’s charm”.Still… she needed to be sure.Her voice dropped to a whisper, looking at him again.“Lemon.”The boy didn’t hesitate.He leaned closer, his eyes lighting up with familiarity, and whispered back, “Sweet.”Then he lifted his thumb, just like they always did, and tapped it lightly against hers.Gracelyn froze.For a second, the world around her faded…the noise, the movement, everything.It was just the two of them.“Sweet lemon,” he added quietly,

    Days passed. Gracelyn was focused on work, not letting anything distract her, not even the hot CEO looking at her through the window.Nicole and Nathan had become masters of secrecy.What started as innocent curiosity had now evolved into something far more interesting: a mission.A mission to bring their parents together.Nathan had become Nicole’s brother and best friend. He’d risk it to sneak into their house, and run back home before getting caught.Nicole had installed something into the wrist watches they wore, so they could communicate without getting caught.Nathan had come up with the idea of getting to switch places with their parent, and experienced the love they lacked from them.Nicole had agreed. He had always thought that his mother had abandoned him.Maybe he didn’t want him, so she chose to go with Nathan instead.He wanted to experience the same thing Nathan did, the love he talked about, and how sweet she was.“How would they meet without looking suspicious?” Nicole

    Gracelyn barely had one foot inside the house before Salome came rushing toward her, with a phone clutched tightly in her hand like it held breaking news of the world ending.“Grace!” she called, breathless, and her eyes wide with excitement. “Have you seen it? The news…your video, it’s everywhere!”Gracelyn paused, slowly slipping off her heels. “What video?”Salome’s jaw dropped. “The one with the journalist! Your response! People are reposting it everywhere. They’re calling you bold, fearless, some are even saying you humbled him.”A faint smile curved Gracelyn’s lips, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes.It was not something to be excited about. She was stating facts, and they were true.“Is that so?”“Yes! Even celebrities are commenting. Someone said you’re the only woman who’s ever spoken to him like that and walked away with dignity intact.”Gracelyn chuckled softly, brushing past her. “People always exaggerate. It was just a conversation. He asked a question out of sheer curio

    Maverick didn’t even try to hide the disbelief on his face.He followed Rex across the hall, passing through the crowd, his brows raised in exaggerated curiosity.“Hold on,” Maverick said, catching up to him. “You’re leaving? Now?”Rex didn’t slow down. “Yes.”Maverick didn’t think what he had said earlier in the hall was true.He thought he was joking.But then, he remembered, Rexander Sinclair does not joke.Maverick let out a short laugh. “Wait, you are really serious about this? You? The same man who couldn’t wait to escape this place an hour ago so you could get back to your ‘peaceful, productive office environment’? Now, you don’t even want to be here or in the office.”Rex adjusted his cufflinks, his expression flat. “I changed my mind.”“That’s not suspicious at all,” Maverick muttered.Rex shot him a look. “What is that supposed to mean?”Maverick smirked, folding his hands behind his back as he walked alongside him. “It means that the timing is interesting.”Rex exhaled slow

    The room had been filled with warmth before the question.Now, it felt cold.Gracelyn felt it first.The sudden silence.The way conversations paused mid-sentence as though they didn’t want to miss out any word from her reply.The way a few heads turned, exchanging glances as if someone had finally asked the question they’d always wanted to ask.The way the journalist leaned back in his chair, tapping his pen, his lips curved in something that barely passed as curiosity.“How does someone from such… humble beginnings rise this quickly? Care to share?”There it was.Wrapped in politeness.Dipped in false admiration.But underneath the question was…Accusation.Gracelyn’s fingers tightened slightly around the microphone, though her expression didn’t betray it.She had heard questions like this before. Not always said out loud, but implied amidst conversations.No one truly knew what she had been through, but judging from her background and her position now, questions like this would su
