The Heiress Reborn Chapter 7 "Face a Mask"
The sterile lights of the hospital corridor seemed to cast a harsh, unforgiving glare on everything around Eva. As her gaze fell upon Blake, the man she'd pledged her life to, a wave of numbness crashed over her, chilling her from the inside out. It wasn't the cold anger of betrayal, nor the hot prick of humiliation. It was a deeper, more profound sense of detachment, a chilling realization that the love she'd once held for him had transmuted into something akin to ash.The fight had been visceral, a desperate struggle against not just the nurses restraining her, but the crushing weight of Blake's indifference. His words, devoid of empathy and laced with a chilling practicality, had shattered the last vestiges of hope she clung to. This wasn't about a selfless act of saving a life; it was a calculated move, a sacrifice demanded on the altar of a past that refused to stay buried.Now, as she watched him stand there, his face a mask of conflicting emotions, a profound sense of disillusi
The Heiress Reborn Chapter 8 "At the Hospital"
The stark white walls of the doctor's office seemed to pulsate with a menacing energy as Dr. Evans met Blake's steely gaze. The man's coldblooded demeanor sent a tremor through the doctor's usually steady hands. He knew, with chilling certainty, that the veiled threat hanging heavy in the air wasn't a mere formality. A single word from Blake, and his career, meticulously built over years of dedication, would crumble into dust. The silence stretched, thick with unspoken accusations and simmering tension. Finally, Dr. Evans cleared his throat, his voice barely a whisper when he spoke."Mr. Torres," he began, his words laced with a tremor he fought desperately to control, "the tests are conclusive. There's no medical justification for why Mrs. Torres would be a better match than Ms. Hartwood. In fact, medically speaking, Ms. Hartwood is ok there's no need an operation.Trembling, the doctor finally told the truth. Blake's expression remained impassive, but a flicker of something akin to
The Heiress Reborn Chapter 9 "Talk about Divorce"
Under the withering heat of Blake's forbidding expression, Tally's bravado crumbled like sandcastles under a crashing wave. The defiant fire that had flickered in her eyes moments ago extinguished, replaced by a cold dread that silenced any further attempts to manipulate the situation."Now, you just need to rest and think about what you've done."Blake exited the sterile confines of the ward, the sterile white walls somehow mirroring the hollowness he felt inside. He slammed the door shut a little too forcefully, the echoing sound a subconscious reflection of the turmoil brewing beneath his carefully constructed facade of indifference.On the surface, he appeared unfazed by Eva's defiance. He'd gotten what he wanted - Tally, the woman who represented a simpler time, a time before the complications of marriage and responsibility, secured the life-saving surgery. Yet, a niggling annoyance gnawed at him, a persistent itch he couldn't quite scratch.Eva's icy stare, the accusation burnin
The Heiress Reborn Chapter 10 "Welcome Home"
"Uncle Owen, I was wrong. I never should have left home. I shouldn't have hurt you for an unworthy man. I'm so sorry." Owen Lowes, a man hardened by years of service, felt his gruff exterior melt away as he saw the tear-streaked face of his niece. He knelt before her, the polished medals on his chest glinting under the harsh overhead light, a stark contrast to the trembling girl huddled in a chair. His large hands, accustomed to wielding a rifle, were surprisingly gentle as he pulled her into a loose embrace. Her sobs, raw and guttural, echoed in the sterile room, a stark symphony of grief and bewilderment."There, there, Ev," he murmured, his voice a soothing rumble. "It's okay to cry. It's good to have you back." He held her patiently, a steady presence in the storm brewing within her. Her name, a single syllable, felt foreign on his tongue, a reminder of the gaping hole in their lives – her missing parents, his beloved sister and brother-in-law."Owen POV about the accident"Owen
The Heiress Reborn Chapter 11 "Lowes Love"
"Grandpa..."Eva buried herself in Waldo's arms.Waldo, a weathered man with hands gnarled by years of hard work, watched his granddaughter crumble into sobs on the worn sofa. Her cries, raw and desperate, tore at his heartstrings, a stark contrast to the composed young woman she'd tried to be for so long. He shuffled closer, careful not to startle her, and settled a calloused hand on her back, offering a silent comfort he hoped she wouldn't reject."There, there, Ev," he rasped, his voice thick with unshed tears. "Let it all out, child. It's okay not to be strong all the time."Eva buried her face deeper into the worn fabric of the sofa, her body wracked with sobs that seemed to have been waiting for this moment to erupt. Waldo felt a surge of anger towards whoever had caused her so much pain, a silent promise to stand as a shield against any future hurt.Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the intensity of her sobs subsided. Eva pulled away, wiping her tear-streaked cheeks wit
The Heiress Reborn Chapter 12 "New Life"
A warm mug of chamomile tea sat untouched in Eva's hands as Jenny paced across the plush living room carpet. The afternoon sun cast long shadows through the bay windows, but the tension in the room felt heavier than any approaching twilight."Eva, for goodness sake, what are you even worrying about?" Jenny finally burst out, her frustration evident. "The Lowes' entire portfolio is set to be yours. It's practically a family inheritance at this point. Jayson has worshipped the ground you walk on since he was knee-high to a grasshopper. He wouldn't dare object to you joining as vice president."Eva sighed, the sound lost in the room's hushed silence. "I know, Jenny," she said, finally setting the teacup down with a soft clink. "But it's not that simple. Sure, the legal paperwork is in order, but taking over as VP… it feels different. Like I'm some vulture swooping down after Uncle Owen's passing."Jenny stopped mid-stride, her face softening with understanding. She settled beside Eva on

The Heiress Reborn Chapter 14 "Thinking of You"
The world seemed to shrink around Marian as she was ushered out of the very company she'd considered an extension of her own opulent living room. The hushed whispers and pitying glances of her former colleagues scraped against her like nails on a chalkboard.
