The Heiress Curse; Reborn For A Cause Chapter 31
“I’m gonna kill Vanessa,” Emma said flatly.Ross’s thumbs stilled against her arms. His brows twitched up like he was weighing whether to take her seriously. "Tempting,” he said, voice low. “But illegal. Probably. Even for her.”She tried not to smile, failed, and shoved him back a step. “Go. I have work to do.”Ross was still standing too close, glancing at the wet shirt on her desk like it had personally offended him. “I’m not leaving until I’m sure you’re fine.”“I’m fine.”“You were just attacked by a witch holding scalding coffee.”She raised a brow. “Do you hear yourself?”Ross’s mouth twitched like he wanted to smile but wasn’t giving her the satisfaction. “It’s not funny.”“It’s a little funny.”“It’s not funny when the person you-” He stopped himself, jaw flexing. “-when an employee gets hurt in my building.”“Countless employees get hurt,” she said dryly, trying to suppress the blood rushing to her head at his slip. She couldn’t let him get the satisfaction of seeing her bl

Emma didn’t look up immediately. “Lily?”“Not quite,” came a smooth, too-bright voice.Ross straightened from the desk, and Emma finally glanced over. Vanessa stood in the doorway, hair perfect, her smile brighter than any fluorescent light. She was holding two cardboard coffee trays, one in each hand, like some benevolent caffeine fairy. The sight alone put Emma’s guard up. The brother-sister pair never had something good in mind whenever they decided to bring coffee.“Oh, perfect, I didn’t miscalculate,” Vanessa said, eyes darting to Ross. She gave him a smile that was just on the sunny side of polite, then looked back at Emma. “I thought I’d bring peace offerings. Matthew… regrets the misunderstanding.”Emma’s brows arched. The Matthew that just got off the call with her didn’t sound like he regretted anything. “The misunderstanding where he broke into my office?”Vanessa laughed, it was light, airy, and completely fake. “Boys will be boys.”Ross’s jaw flexed. She swept in befor

Emma kept her expression serene, but her mind was still replaying the moment in the bathroom over and over. The sting, the blood, the nothing.If she was lucky, maybe she’d dreamed of it. If she wasn’t…Well, she wasn’t sure what the “if she wasn’t” part meant yet.By lunch, she had almost convinced herself to shove it into the mental junk drawer labeled “Weird Crap To Deal With Later."But then she caught sight of Vanessa walking past her office, all sleek confidence and perfectly arranged hair, and that drawer snapped right back open.Vanessa didn’t look in, didn’t say anything, but Emma’s instincts, the same instincts that had kept her alive more than once, said the woman was circling.She didn’t know how right she was. Because at that same moment, in a quiet corner of Vanessa’s glass-and-white penthouse, a phone sat on the counter, displaying a string of messages from a number saved only as PI.The last one read; “Match confirmed. Sending full file.”Vanessa’s lips curved into the

Ross did not believe in coincidences. Especially not when coincidences involved Eliana, the Algerian project, and Emma.He had walked into Emma’s office on the pretense of dropping off an updated supplier list. In reality, he was there because he wanted to see her. He had missed her, it had been so long since he had seen her for a long stretch of time because they had both been busy. It was strange for Ross to say he missed a woman, but there was an ache in his chest where Emma had apparently burrowed into.She wasn’t in her office.And that was the only reason he noticed it, a thick manila folder buried halfway down under a precarious pile of files, tucked in such a way that someone with normal eyesight and patience would never spot it.But Ross had been through that exact folder enough times in his life to recognize the shade of off-yellow, the worn tab, and the faint, nearly invisible smudge in the corner. The Algerian Project.His jaw tightened. That project wasn’t just difficult

Chapter 27Emma wasn’t sure which was worse, sitting through a three-hour budget alignment meeting where everyone took turns pretending they weren’t in open warfare with each other or the fact that Matthew was seated two chairs down, radiating smugness like a cheap cologne.The man hadn’t even flinched after Ross slapped him the other day, or after she caught him snooping through her files. If anything, he seemed more energized, like a cockroach that had been stepped on and somehow evolved instead of dying.Emma kept her gaze fixed on the quarterly slides, though she could feel Matthew’s stare every time Ross spoke. Not at her, at Ross. It was the kind of stare a lion gives another lion right before trying to take over the pride.When the meeting adjourned, everyone scattered in their usual “thank God that’s over” rush, leaving Ross, Emma, and Matthew as the last three in the room again.Matthew was first to break the silence.“So, Ross,” he began casually, leaning back in his chair,

Vanessa didn’t bother knocking before walking into Ross’s office, the click of her heels announcing her arrival before her voice did. She knew that sound carried power, sharp, confident, impossible to ignore, and she let each step linger before she stopped beside his desk.She learnt it all from watching Eliana.“You know, Ross,” she said, tilting her head just so, her perfectly styled hair catching the light, “for someone who’s supposed to be preparing for the annual company summit, you seem awfully… distracted.”Ross didn’t look up. His pen moved over the paper in crisp strokes, the only sound in the room besides the hum of the air conditioner.“I don’t have time for small talk, Vanessa,” he said, his tone clipped.“Oh, this isn’t small talk,” she replied lightly, leaning one palm against the polished edge of his desk, letting her perfume drift just close enough to register. “It’s… concern.”His eyes flicked up briefly, unreadable. “Concern about what?”Her lips curved into a sympa
