Anabella's Pov.

Threat

“What?!” The word ripped from my throat before I could stop it.

My eyes widened in shock as I stared at the screen. My phone had buzzed only seconds ago, yet those two words already burned themselves into my memory.

Bear the burnt.

That was it.

No name. No warning. Just an unknown number and a threat so sharp it sank into my bones.

My mind raced, my chest tightened, and suddenly the room tilted violently. The table in front of me shifted, blurring in and out of focus, until my vision blackened completely.

I woke to the bitter smell of something hot and earthy. My head felt like it was splitting open, every pulse of pain hammering behind my eyes.

“Mama!”

Peter’s little voice cut through the haze as his small figure ran toward me.

But John caught him before he could leap onto the bed. “Peter, stop.” His tone was firm,

  • The Billionaire Legacy    Chapter 46: The Inheritance

    Mia’s Pov.The mansion was too quiet without him.I stood in the middle of Daniel’s study, my pulse still racing from the echo of the front door slamming behind him. He had left in such a fury, his car growling down the driveway like a beast unleashed. I should have been relieved, or even scared, but instead a thrill spread through me, sweet and dangerous.Finally, I was alone.The silence pressed in, heavy, intimate. The grandfather clock ticked in the hall, each second a reminder that time belonged to me now. I moved slowly, deliberately, to his desk. My hand hovered over the smooth surface of the mahogany, the scent of his cologne clinging faintly to the leather chair. This room was his kingdom, his throne. And tonight, it was mine to desecrate.Daniel thought I didn’t know. He thought I was blind to his secrets, deaf to his whispers, too obedient to ever pry. He was wrong.My fingers grazed over the top drawers first—contracts, merger papers, tax slips, the things he wanted peopl

    Mia's Pov.The mansion was steeped in that rare kind of silence that felt alive, as if the walls themselves were listening. The only sound was the soft clink of glass as I swirled the wine in my goblet, watching the deep red catch the faint glow of the chandelier above. It bled like liquid rubies, heavy, intoxicating, and it made me smileAcross from me, Daniel sat in his armchair, head bent, fingers scrolling on his phone with his usual precision. His brows were furrowed, his face a perfect sculpture of composure. But then, his phone vibrated again — not the usual line, not the company call, but the other one. The one only a handful of people knew.I knew it was his detective. I had never met the man, but I had heard the name whispered enough to know. Daniel kept him close for matters he didn’t want anyone else to touch.He answered quickly, his tone clipped. “Yes?”The moment stretched. I held my breath without meaning to.Then his expression changed. Just a flicker at first — but i

    Anabella’s Pov.After reporting the incident at the station, the next words that John spilled made my whole body shiver, I hope it was all a dry joke but it wasn't.John held the door open, I climbed in waiting for him to come in, John took a moment before climbing in, I heard his voice echo probably he was on a call.“Move”. John ordered the driver, grabbing my hands softly, his palm warm and soft.“Did you really see one of them or you just want to make a joke out of all of these”.

    Daniel's Pov.“Isabella”. I called out to her, she looked beautiful and breath taking.I tried to maintain balance but her beauty swept me off my feet and like the last time, Isabella tried to ignore me.She rolled her eyes turning swiftly to the receptionist, dropping a file on the block.I chuckled.“Isabella!”.
