I stepped out of the car and looked up at the headquarters of Brooks & Co. Holdings. The towering skyscraper reached into the sky, its sharp glass facade reflecting the morning clouds like a giant mirror. Below, the elevated plaza was lined with sleek white walkways, neat green lawns, and a glass skybridge connecting the towers. It was imposing, modern, and powerful, my father's empire, which was willed to me. And now, I was back to take back control.

  • The Billionaire’s Heiress   Chapter 17 True Brook Blood

    AriaI walked back into my office, burning with anger. How dare they try to act innocent after getting caught red-handed? I had just finished the meeting with my executives and the police officers escorted them out of the building after. It had started as a routine gathering, they had all welcomed me back warmly, and I never would have guessed those were the very men driving my father's company into ruin.When I brought up the missing funds, I watched their faces transform. They knew they were caught, but they still tried to play dumb. What began as a quiet meeting quickly turned into an uproar, with insults hurled straight at my face. They claimed I must have hit my head hard during the accident and was spouting absolute nonsense. I knew Richard was the one who had fueled that disrespect; he was the only one to blame.I poured myself a glass of water and downed it in one gulp, trying to calm my nerves. Just then, Richard barged into my office. I looked up, my temper flaring, but I fo

    AriaI stepped out of the car and looked up at the headquarters of Brooks & Co. Holdings. The towering skyscraper reached into the sky, its sharp glass facade reflecting the morning clouds like a giant mirror. Below, the elevated plaza was lined with sleek white walkways, neat green lawns, and a glass skybridge connecting the towers. It was imposing, modern, and powerful, my father's empire, which was willed to me. And now, I was back to take back control.I used to wonder why Richard wanted this company so badly, but now I know exactly why. This was a massive, beautiful skyscraper with over 3,000 employees, and I controlled it all. My employees respected me; they bowed their heads when I passed. He was jealous of the control I had, jealous of the respect. He wanted to be respected like I was, to be feared. He probably went to bed every night dreaming of how he was going to take over and become CEO. I had been a fool, after all, because I had been ready to hand all of this over to him

    Aria“How do you feel?” Wayne asked. It was late at night, and I had sent a message to Richard saying I would be staying with William, which he completely ignored. I suppose he was too busy with the celebration.“I guess I'm fine,” I whispered, taking the drink from his hands. He sat beside me, and we both stared up at the dark sky. I was sitting on the patio wearing his clothes, wrapped snugly in a blanket. It felt refreshing not to be in that penthouse or at my house, surrounded by people who hated me.“You’ve been sitting out here for a while,” he said, letting out a soft breath.“Just reflecting,” I mumbled. “I never thought a day like this would come.”“My mother never approved of Richard, my aunt was completely against him, and it took hell and an absurd amount of effort to convince them he was the right one for me. But… they were right,” I whispered, exhaling slowly.“I still wonder how he got them on his side, how he manipulated them so easily. I had the best relationship with

    Aria“There, there, stop crying. A pretty girl like you shouldn’t be crying,” I told her, pulling away. She sniffled, and I wiped her tears, taking her face gently in my hands.“You know how much I love you, right?” I asked. She nodded, and I smiled. “I got you that car you’ve always wanted, and a house. All for you,” I told her.Her eyes widened in shock, a bright smile spreading across her face. “Really?”I nodded. “It’s your push gift. You are my baby sister, and I would do anything to make you happy. You know that.”Lily beamed, throwing her arms around me. “Thank you, Sister! I’m so happy!” she exclaimed, and I laughed quietly.She had always wanted that house and car, but I had kept telling her, not now. She had begged me so many times, but back then, I wasn't ready for her to leave the estate and live on her own. I was just trying to be a p

  • The Billionaire’s Heiress   Chapter 13 Baby Shower

    AriaThe car parked in front of my house and I came down, breathing out. Today was Lily’s baby shower and of course I had to make an appearance. I was in the hospital for two weeks and those were the longest weeks of my life. I was tired of seeing white walls, tired of the smell, and tired of lying vulnerable on that bed. Surprisingly, Richard stuck around. He made sure I was getting everything I needed and didn’t leave my side.I began to wonder if he didn’t care about his baby on the way. Lily would have wanted his attention, to be babied by him and to plan the gender reveal together. But for those two weeks, he never left my side; he slept on the couch, made sure I was eating, and followed up with the doctor. He acted like a doting husband, but I wasn’t moved. He only felt guilty because I had passed out beside him all night while he slept soundly. And it’s not like he genuinely cared—if I had died beside him, he wouldn’t have successfully gotten his hands on the company.After two

  • The Billionaire’s Heiress   Chapter 12 Silent Vows

    AriaThe slow sound of the machine beeping woke me up from my slumber. I slowly opened my eyes, and at first, everything looked blurry and bright. The only thing I saw was white walls, and I was confused. Was I dead? Was I in heaven? I blinked repeatedly, and the room became clear. I looked around and noticed I was in a ward. The door opened and Richard walked in.He ran to me once he noticed I was awake. “Aria,” he called, looking down at me worriedly. I opened my mouth to say something, but no words came out.“I will get the doctor,” he said, running outside. I lay on the bed without moving, and shortly after, he returned with help. Doctor James checked my vitals and spoke to me, but I was too weak to utter a word.“W-water,” I finally whispered, hoping he heard me. Richard looked around the room and quickly grabbed me a bottle of water. After drinking the water, I felt better.“How is she, Doctor?” he asked, looking at me worriedly.Doctor James sighed. “Her health is deteriorating
