The Heiress No One Recognized Chapter 20
The dark Duke“Fine,” Alastair said. “I got married.”The room went quiet enough that Laird could hear the refrigerator hum. He studied Alastair for a long moment, the man looked like a cat that had just been dipped in ice water and was doing his level best to pretend otherwise. “Fascinating,” Laird said. “So all this time, we’ve had a married man amidst ourselves.”“You what?” Hero straightened so fast it was a wonder he didn’t give himself whiplash.“Married. This morning. Registry office on Fenwick Street.” Alastair said it flatly as if to imply it’s not that big of a deal. Unfortunately for him, Laird disagreed. He let the silence stretch a full three seconds, watching Alastair’s composure begin to strain under the weight of it.“Stop that,” Alastair said finally.Laird smirked and innocently asked, “Stop what?”“Your silence act.”“What silence act?”“You’ve always had an irritating talent for making silence feel like an interrogation. Tone it down. I can feel it too,” Hero com

The dark Duke“And why, precisely, would you think I’d invent a dog?” Alastair asked from behind the kitchen counter, looking altogether too pleased with himself as he lifted a mug of black coffee to his lips.“Indeed, Meadows. Why would he?” Laird’s gaze drifted briefly to Hero before he crouched beside Chauncey, letting his fingers work behind the dog’s ears while his mind kept working elsewhere.Hero looked around the apartment, taking in the space with exaggerated interest. “Wow. I love what you’ve done with the place.” And then he collapsed face-first onto the sofa like a man returning from a war he’d personally lost, one arm flung over his eyes before a single one cracked open toward the kitchen.Alastair’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Thank you. And you, Laird?”Laird straightened slowly, his gaze making an unhurried sweep of the room.The apartment was considerably warmer than he would have expected of Alastair. Too much colour and life. It lacked the cold, polished severity he ha

The returned Heir “She proposed… to me.” Alaric went deathly silent again. Then, “My, oh my.” His voice was laced with intrigue. “Indeed, it is. How ever did that happen?” Alastair smiled, evidently enjoying his luck. “Let’s just say it has a great deal to do with Keller’s perfectly timed betrayal.” “Mhm, very heartbreaking though. It’s all over social media.” “And,” Alastair continued. “There’s more?” Alaric wondered. “A little bit of a touch of my effortless charm of course.”Alaric burst into a fit of laughter. “Ahhhhhhhh,” he said once he’d calmed, “there he is.”“Who?”“The grandson I remember, cocky as ever. It warms my heart.”Alastair shook his head. “I’m hanging up now Grandpa.”“No, you aren’t Altair.”“No?”“Nope!” He said, popping the ‘p’ “ Go on, tell me all about how the proposal went don’t hang me out to dry now.”Alastair paused. He recalled the circumstances and details surrounding the proposal and decided it was best to recount the whole thing to Alaric before

The returned HeirElliot dropped Alastair back at his apartment and went off on his merry way to make his scheduled morning tea time with Alaric.“Welcome home, sir.”Alastair stepped through the front door and glanced at Mr. Ahmed.“Did you miss me?”“Terribly, sire.” Alastair gave him a look. “But, I’m sure mister Chauncey missed you more.” Just in time the dog came hurtling towards its owner. “I’m touched.” “I thought you might be.”Alastair strolled into his living room and dropped onto the sofa. His thoughts came flooding in like a tide that had been waiting all morning for him to finally be alone. It was signed, done and dusted. The proof was there. The absurdity of it might have amused him under different circumstances but as it was, he was bound, by contract, to the woman whose family was responsible for his mother’s death.And it no longer mattered whether she was the woman he’d once loved so fiercely or not. Everything had changed the moment the intel reached him — that h

The misplaced Heiress (We shall now refer to Miaelle as Lysandra.)Lysandra retired back to her room, too exhausted to deal with any more of her family’s prodding about Altair, Gabriell, and Mia. She sat on the hanging swing chair at her balcony, letting her thoughts drift with the wind.I can’t believe this. I got dumped, publicly humiliated, and married to a stranger, all in less than twenty-four hours. Not to mention, I just officially signed the deed proclaiming my status as CEO and owner of all my companies.She frowned slightly and decided she’d deal with all that another time. Instead, Lysandra focused her thoughts on the young gentleman she now had the privilege of calling her husband.She thought it odd that he’d be dressed so expensively, have such access to high-end property, and still claim to be low on rent.“No,” she whispered to no one. “Maybe he was jesting. Didn’t want to freak me out.”So she thought of all that she knew. She knew faces, names, and families. She kne

The misplaced Heiress Sylas cleared his throat from the sofa arm. “For what it’s worth, Auntie, I’ve never seen her look at anyone the way she looked just now, saying his name.”“I did not look at anything.” “Girl. I have known you your entire life. Be serious.”“I am being serious and I know me just fine. I did not look anything.”“You absolutely did.””Did not!” “Definitely did too.” He said smugly.“Sylaaaas.” “Lysandraaaa.” “Mom…” “Auntie…” “Ughhh Sylas!”“I’m only saying what I saw.” He held up both hands, entirely unrepentant which in turn had Miaelle pouting. Her mother’s mouth twitched. “As I was saying, whatever he’s after, bring him here. Let me look him in the eye before I decide whether to trust him with my daughter’s company, her name,” she winks towards Sylas “and apparently now her heart.”“He doesn’t know about any of that yet,” Miaelle sulks quietly. “The companies anything really about who I really am.”“Then perhaps,” her mother said, tucking the certificate
