Nadia was having a delightful breakfast with Aveline, who was happily talking about how much she loved Country D and her kindergarten.

“I love my school, Mommy,” Aveline said, swinging her little legs beneath the table. “And my teacher said I'm getting better at drawing.”

Nadia smiled. “Is that so?”

“Yes! I drew you yesterday.”

“I can't wait to see it, jellybean.”

Before Aveline could say anything else, the front door opened and Faye walked in, looking troubled.

“Miss, there is an emergency.”

  • THE HEIRESS THEY NEVER WANTED   THE MEETING

    Noah walked back into the study and immediately noticed Adrian sitting behind his desk, his phone still in his hand.There was something different about his expression, Adrian was usually impossible to read, but right now, he looked genuinely stunned.“What’s wrong?”Adrian slowly lifted his gaze.“You know Nadia?”“Yeah.” Noah nodded. “She’s the CEO of Aveline & Co. The woman I told you about, the one I signed a collaboration with a few weeks ago. I mentioned her to you that day, remember?”Before Adrian could respond, the study door opened and Brad, Adrian’s PA, hurried inside.“Sir, I found her.”Adrian's expression hardened.“The woman from five years ago,” Brad continued. “Her identity has been confirmed. She’s Nadia Laurent, the CEO of Aveline & Co.”Noah's eyes widened.“What?”He looked between Adrian and Brad in disbelief.“Wait… Miss Nadia was the woman you spent that night with five years ago?”Adrian remained silent as Noah stared at him.“This is insane.”“I guess it is,”

    Nadia was having a delightful breakfast with Aveline, who was happily talking about how much she loved Country D and her kindergarten.“I love my school, Mommy,” Aveline said, swinging her little legs beneath the table. “And my teacher said I'm getting better at drawing.”Nadia smiled. “Is that so?”“Yes! I drew you yesterday.”“I can't wait to see it, jellybean.”Before Aveline could say anything else, the front door opened and Faye walked in, looking troubled.“Miss, there is an emergency.”“What is it?” Nadia asked, raising a brow.“Daphne did a livestream yesterday.”Faye handed her the tablet.Nadia's expression changed the moment she saw the video. Her eyes widened when the photograph appeared on the screen. It was her from that night, five years ago.She had thought she had been careful, she had kept herself covered with a bathrobe and towel, believing the cameras wouldn't capture her clearly. She had been wrong, one camera had caught her leaving the hotel.“How did she get thi

  • THE HEIRESS THEY NEVER WANTED   THE UNEXPECTED FALL

    Nadia waved at Aveline as she held hands with Faye, who was taking her to school. She watched until they finally left and her attention immediately returned to the document Faye had given her earlier. It was the file on Adrian Ravencrest, the information she had requested a few days ago.Nadia settled into her chair and opened the file. She read through the documents carefully, her expression gradually changing as she took in the information.Adrian Ravencrest, the owner of Elena Holdings.Nadia's eyes widened slightly.Elena Holdings was one of the most powerful corporations in the country, far larger than she had initially imagined. It was the kind of empire she wanted Aveline&Co to become someday.She continued reading, discovering just how extensive Adrian's influence was. He wasn't simply wealthy but was also powerful. Nadia's gaze eventually fell on his photograph, she stared at it for several seconds and there was something about his face. The coldness in his eyes, the intimida

  • THE HEIRESS THEY NEVER WANTED   THE SCANDAL

    The news of Nadia pouring her lemonade all over Owen had spread throughout the elite circle of Country D. What had started as a humiliating encounter had quickly become a public scandal, and the attention was beginning to affect Dame&co reputation and even its stock.Owen sat in his office, staring at the stack of multimillion-dollar contracts from Dame & Co. spread across his desk. He had spent hours thinking about Daphne's request and he knew the risks. Awarding some of the company's biggest projects to Laurent Empire meant terminating or restructuring contracts with long-standing partners. His family would certainly question his decision but Daphne's words kept replaying in his mind.Owen finally picked up his phone.“Get the legal team in here.”Within hours, the decision was made, Dame&co would award several of its major projects to Laurent Empire, the news reached Daphne almost immediately. A wide smile spread across her face when she heard the announcement, this was exactly wh

  • THE HEIRESS THEY NEVER WANTED   PARALLEL LINES

    Adrian continued staring at Aveline. There was something strangely familiar about her little brown eyes. They reminded him of the mysterious woman he had met five years ago, and for a fleeting moment, a crazy thought crossed his mind.“How old are you?”“Four,” Aveline replied innocently.The thought disappeared as quickly as it had come, Adrian crouched down to Aveline's height.“Where are your parents?”Aveline's lips immediately formed a small cute pout.“I came to look for my mommy, but I can't find her.”There was something about the little girl's innocent expression that made Adrian's usually guarded demeanor soften.“Why don't I help you find her?”He extended his hand toward her and Aveline stared at it for a moment before placing her tiny hand in his. Despite all the lessons her mother had taught her about never trusting strangers, she found herself trusting this particular stranger for reasons she couldn't explain.A few feet away, Colin watched the scene in disbelief. His b

  • THE HEIRESS THEY NEVER WANTED   LOOKS FAMILIAR

    “I am not coming back to Country A anytime soon. I need to find out who I really am,” Nadia said to Jade over the phone after telling her everything Genevieve had revealed earlier that day.“I completely understand,” Jade replied. “But Aveline is going to be devastated. She has already spent so much time preparing for your return.”“I know.” Nadia sighed. “I guess I’ll have to leave you to deal with her.”“It’s fine. I just want you to be careful.”“I will.”Jade suddenly remembered something.“Don’t forget that Brad is back in Country D,” she said, referring to her older brother, who had been head over heels for Nadia for years. He didn't seem to care that she had a daughter, and Aveline adored him, often seeing him as a father figure.“Oh my!” Nadia exclaimed. “I completely forgot your brother was back.”“I knew it. You two should meet up and catch up over lunch. I’m sure he’d be more than willing to help you.”“Of course he would, but I don't think I should involve him. He is alrea
