Chapter 42: Bitter Errand

**Lily’s POV**

Last night was fire. The kind of fire that burned straight through bone and refused to be tamed.

Ray had been wild, unrelenting. My brother — my forbidden, insatiable brother — had filled me in ways I didn’t even know I craved until him. His cock was huge, punishing, delicious. He knew every inch of my body now, knew how to break me apart and stitch me back together with nothing but his hands and his filthy mouth.

And God … I wanted more.

Even now, as I stood in the hallway dressed in a silk blouse that screamed sophistication, my body still hummed from his touch. Every nerve remembered. Every muscle begged for a repeat.

But I had to rein it in.

Lucas was supposed to be the goal. The prize. The husband that secured everything for me… the inheritance, the Bristo empire, the prestige. He was the one I had to dazzle, seduce, and bind to me in marriage.

And yet… a sick part of me doubted.

What if Lucas wasn’t like Ray? What if he was cold,

  • The Heiress Returns: Reclaiming My Legacy   Chapter 140

    Chapter 140Lucas’ POVThe echo of a gunshot tore through the still night as our car skidded to a halt in front of the warehouse. My heart stopped. For a split second, I couldn’t even breathe — the sound reverberated in my skull, cold and final, like the world itself had just cracked open.“Jesus Christ,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “That was a gunshot…. Oh fuck! Fuck! Hannah…”“Stay in the car!” the officer barked, already pushing his door open, gun drawn. The other three followed in formation, their boots crunching gravel as they crouched low, spreading toward the entrance.Red and blue lights from the patrol vehicles washed over the rusted walls of the warehouse, flashing against the steel like angry ghosts. The smell of burning rubber and damp concrete filled the air, thick and metallic.“Lucas, stay put,” Damon said sharply, his eyes fixed on the warehouse doors. “They’ve got this.”I slammed my palm against the dashboard, shaking my head. “She’s in there, Damon! You heard t

    Chapter 139 Hannah’s POVI didn’t know what to think of again, now that Lily had destroyed my phone, I wasn’t sure how Lucas would be able to find me, I get the only choice I have is to beg, maybe it would soften her demonic hear a little. She is paranoid now and her paranoia is from the fact that Lucas had been on the call and had probably heard so much already and this implicates her some more, I needed to reassure her that Lucas must not have heard for him not to be here by this time and I won’t tell anyone about her involvement if she lets me go. “Please, Lily… please,” my voice cracked like glass, every word raw, my throat burning. “I won’t tell anyone…I swear I won’t. Just let me go. I can’t die here, not now, please.”The air in the warehouse was thick, chemical, suffocating. My lungs screamed with every breath, and tears blurred my vision. The cold concrete bit through my knees where I knelt, my wrists throbbing from the tight ropes that dug into my skin.“I haven’t even g

  • The Heiress Returns: Reclaiming My Legacy   Chapter 138

    Chapter 138Lucas’ POVThe map on my phone blinked once and then the little blue dot that had been following Hannah’s call went dead. Nothing but just the cold gray of a frozen screen. For a second I thought the world had slipped from under me; the silence inside the car felt louder than the siren.Damon cursed under his breath. “They lost it,” he said, but he kept his foot heavy on the accelerator anyway. “Signal dropped.”The officer riding with us barked into his radio, voice clipped and businesslike but threaded with the same edge I felt pulling tight in my chest. “Location disconnected. Keep pace. Don’t let them move before we get there.”“Don’t let them move,” I echoed, like incantation, as if saying it could pin the city down for us. The cars around us blurred into streaks of light. We slammed through a red without thinking, the tires whining against the asphalt.The lead squad car’s voice came through the radio: “We’re still in pursuit. Maintain formation. We have units conve

    Chapter 137 Hannah’s POVJack swore under his breath, the words low and sharp like broken glass. He jabbed an elbow toward Lily, then snapped his head in my direction, as if the buzzing in my pocket was a personal attack. “Shut it!” he barked. “Shut that damn thing off!”Panic clawed up my throat—I couldn’t move my arms. They were still tied behind me, wrists burning from the tight plastic cords. How was I supposed to shut anything off?Before I could even explain, Lily stormed over and yanked the phone from my coat pocket. Her eyes caught the screen—still lit and glowing like a spotlight in a dark theater.LUCAS BRISTO — ON CALL.For a breathless second, I thought she’d smash it. Her hand flexed, knuckles going white. But instead of hurling it, she just stared.The color drained from her face in an instant, as though someone had opened a trapdoor beneath her calm exterior. She turned sharply to Jack, her voice a hiss laced with panic. “You were on a call the entire time?” Her eyes

    Chapter 136 Damon’s POVThe car sped down the narrow road, red and blue lights flashing against the wet asphalt. The siren’s echo bounced off the distant warehouses, slicing through the silence of the industrial outskirts. My hands were gripping the steering, knuckles white, but not because of fear really but because of the man sitting beside me. My best friend and boss, Lucas. I’d known him for years — seen him handle boardroom wars, family feuds, betrayals that could break any ordinary man. But this? I’d never seen him like this. His face was pale, looking so weak I could see the muscles twitching. His hands were trembling slightly, though he tried to hide it, and his eyes… God, his eyes were filled with something I’d never seen before. Panic, pure, human panic. He was staring out the window, every passing shadow making him twitch. His breath came in shallow bursts, and every few seconds, he ran his hand through his hair like he was trying to tear the worry out of his skull.

  • The Heiress Returns: Reclaiming My Legacy   Chapter 135

    Chapter 135Hannah’s POVJack’s head snapped toward Lily, his voice cracking with confusion and fury. “What do you mean you brought her to this toxic place intentionally?” he demanded, coughing as he waved a hand in front of his face. The air was getting thicker, darker — even he was struggling to breathe now. “First of all, you didn’t even give me a nose mask, and second, we didn’t agree to hurt anyone!”Lily chuckled, low and chilling, the sound echoing off the metal walls. “Oh, Jack,” she said mockingly, “you really are as naïve as I thought. You should’ve read the fine print before playing with the big kids.”Jack’s jaw clenched, his hands balling into fists. “The agreement was that you’d help me reclaim Hannah — that she’d see me as hers again. That’s what you promised me!” His voice was trembling with both anger and fear now. “You said you just wanted to scare her.”“Oh, shut up, you crackhead!” Lily barked, laughing suddenly, loud and sharp like a witch’s cackle. The sound sent
