The Forgotten Heiress Chapter 154
I thought we were going to the hotel, but when Dexter took a different route, I turned to him. "Where are we going?" I asked in a low tone. "Not yet," he replied. "Then where?" "Somewhere you can relax." He glanced at me briefly before focusing on the road again. I wanted to ask more questions, but I was just too tired for that. A few minutes later, he pulled into a pizza place. I unfastened my seat belt, preparing to get out, but he stopped me. "No, stay here. I'm just going to pick it up. I'll be back." He opened his door. "Oh, I thought this was where we were coming." "Really, Mia? A pizza shop?" He scoffed before getting out. I watched him walk inside, then leaned back against my seat, rubbing my hands over my arms. I was still feeling the shock of what had happened at the party. My eyes became teary again. "That bastard really tried to..." I stopped, my lips trembling. I couldn't even bring myself to say the word. I hated that Michael had put me through that. My ey
The Forgotten Heiress Chapter 153
The moment we stepped into the ballroom, I understood why Dexter had been so particular about my outfit.Everyone made an effort to look their best. The women wore beautiful evening gowns, while the men were dressed in expensive suits. I could smell expensive cologne everywhere I turned.I adjusted my small evening bag and walked beside Dexter.He looked completely at ease in his black suit, and it wasn't long before a group of men approached us.“Dexter! It's good to see you.”“Richard,” Dexter greeted, exchanging a handshake with him.Richard's attention soon shifted to me.“And who is this beautiful lady?”“This is Mia Roberts, my assistant.”I smiled politely. “It's nice to meet you.”“The pleasure is mine. You certainly have a beautiful assistant, Dexter.”Another man standing beside him chuckled. “I was just about to say the same thing.”I smiled, feeling a little embarrassed by their compliments. However, when I glanced at Dexter, I noticed his expression had changed slightly. H

Finally, I changed into a black gown with a simple neckline and an open back. It was fitted around the waist and fell gracefully along my figure, giving it a clean, elegant look.I stepped out and walked towards the mirror. I liked it immediately. It was simple without looking ordinary, and I could already picture how it would look with a pair of heels.I turned slightly to check the back.“What about this one?”There was no immediate response, so I looked towards Dexter.He had put his phone down and was watching me. His gaze moved briefly over the dress before he swallowed, looking almost too stunned to speak. However, the expression disappeared so quickly that I wondered if I had imagined it.“Turn around.”I raised an eyebrow but did as he asked.He studied the back before nodding. “This one will do.”I looked at him through the mirror. “That’s all?”“What else do you want me to say?”I laughed softly. “Nothing, sir. I’m just surprised we finally agree on something.”“It suits you.

Finally, I breathed out as I stepped out of the bathroom, rubbing the towel over my wet hair. Ding! My phone beeped on the bed. Who could that be? I wrapped the towel around my head and walked over to the bed, picking up my phone. The screen lit up with Dexter’s name, and I opened the message. Dexter: One of the companies we’re working with is hosting an evening party. We’ll be attending. I read it, then scrolled down when another message came in. Dexter: Be ready by twelve. We’ll be picking out your dress for the night. Picking out a dress? My brows rose, and I scoffed. There was no need for that. He could have simply told me we were attending a party and asked me to get ready. He had to include the part about picking out my dress, as though I had no idea how to dress myself. But what surprised me most was that he was coming along. I shook my head, dropped my phone on the bed and turned towards my suitcase. I could have easily found something to wear without his help, but
The Forgotten Heiress Chapter 150
Athena’s POVI walked out of Dexter’s room slowly, pulling the door shut behind me.The moment it clicked closed, I stopped.“One month.”I turned my back to the closed door.Dexter was getting married in one month. I knew he was getting married. That was obvious.But I had no idea when the wedding was supposed to happen.Judging from the way everything had been going, I honestly thought it was happening soon.The wedding preparations and how Cassie had been coming around.The way both families seemed to have everything planned already. I had assumed they were getting married within the next few weeks.But six months? Apparently, that had been the original plan.And now his father had suddenly decided to move it forward.Who changes a wedding date without telling the groom?I shook my head. That was crazy.But then again, after hearing Dexter yell at his father, I understood something a little better.His relationship with his father wasn’t normal, not even close.His father seemed to

Dexter’s POVThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the sunlight.It was shining through the small gap between the curtains and directly into my face.I groaned and turned my head away, pulling the duvet higher. My body felt heavy.For a few seconds, I just lay there with my eyes closed, trying to remember what happened.Why did I feel so exhausted?For a few seconds, I remained still, trying to remember how I had fallen asleep last night.That was when I felt something move beside my bed.My head turned immediately, and that was when I saw Mia.My eyes widened in shock as I saw her She was sitting on a chair beside my bed. Her head was resting against the side of my bed, her neck bent at an uncomfortable angle.Her glasses had slipped down her nose, almost falling off her face.A few strands of her hair were scattered across her forehead.Why was she here? Did she spend the night here?I slowly looked around the room, and that was when I remembered.I had gotten a fever

Losing my parents was only the beginning of our nightmare. What came afterward made everything even more miserable. My father had built an empire. He was a business mogul, and my mother owned one of the largest entertainment companies in Los Angeles. Eventually, their companies merged, creating a
The Forgotten Heiress Chapter 1
How could I ever forget that night? There was no way. It had haunted me for sixteen years. How could I forget the 5th of June, 2010? It had started like every normal night in our house. The night breeze felt unreal, cool against my skin, calming enough to sink into my bones. I was outside doin
The Forgotten Heiress Chapter 5
The phone on my desk rang, and I picked it up immediately. “Mia, get my car ready. We’re leaving in a few minutes.” “Oh, where—” The line went dead. He had already hung up. I stared at the receiver. “Where is your car?” I muttered under my breath, burying my face in my palms for a second. Th
The Forgotten Heiress Chapter 4
I barely recognized the woman staring back at me in the mirror. For a moment, I stood there in complete silence, searching my own reflection for some trace of the Athena Mallway I had known all my life. But she was gone. In her place stood a sophisticated brunette with long bangs, and a polished
