Chapter 50: Hate me or love me

**Lucas’ POV**

I leaned back in my chair, the cool leather pressing against my shoulders as I stared through the glass wall of my office. From here, I could see everything, the interns’ wing stretched in perfect view, every cubicle, every careless movement.

My eyes settled instinctively on Hannah.

Her head was bent toward the desk, her hair brushing forward like a curtain, hiding most of her face. But not enough. I could still see the faint crease of concentration between her brows, the restless way she tapped her pen against the table.

I’d heard Lily’s whisper as I’d entered earlier. “Get ready for me.” It had been low, sharp, venom disguised in sugar, but clear enough to cut through the air. Hannah didn’t reply then, but I saw the way her shoulders stiffened, the way her body locked tight, bracing like someone preparing for a storm.

It disturbed me more than I cared to admit. Not because I doubted Hannah could handle herself but because the thought of

  • The Heiress Returns: Reclaiming My Legacy   Chapter 60: You are safe now, Hannah

    Chapter 60: You are safe now, Hannah**Hannah’s POV**It’s the second day of internship at the Bristo Enterprise. Another day to deal with some weird colleagues. I had promised myself it would be smoother than the disaster of the first, but my gut already told me otherwise.When I came down into the driveway that morning and saw Lily already perched smugly in her seat, waiting for Mr. Gabriel, I froze. The thought of sharing that suffocating ride with her again twisted my stomach into knots.Not today.“Forget it,” I muttered, pulling my phone from my bag. With a few taps, I booked an Uber. My heart sank when I saw the price surge blinking red on the screen. Outrageous. Absolutely ridiculous. But what choice did I have? Ride with Lily, endure her fake smiles and poisonous whispers, or drain my wallet and keep my sanity?Sanity was worth more than money today.The ride to Bristo Enterprise was just so noisy with the driver’s radio so loud and when I tell him to turn it down, he acts li

  • The Heiress Returns: Reclaiming My Legacy   Chapter 58: Getting Married To Lily

    Chapter 58: Getting Married To Lily **Lucas’ POV** I moved fast, pushing the door open with more force than necessary. Damon followed right behind me, his long strides quickening to match mine. I could still hear Lily’s voice at the front door, sugary and insistent, trying to get my attention. We slipped out through the back exit. The door banged shut, muffling her completely. Fresh air hit my face like relief, crisp and sharp after the suffocation of that office. We walked towards the garage and I could hear people protesting, it wasn’t very loud but loud enough for people within the company to hear. Damon drove out and we found placards bobbed above the small crowd gathered beyond the gate, words scrawled in thick black ink: “Justice for Maya.” “Stop Shielding Abusers.” “Bristo Enterprise = Corruption.” Damon exhaled slowly, scanning the scene with the calm detachment of someone who’d already memorized every detail. “They’re still here.” “Who are they?” “A group of an emplo

  • The Heiress Returns: Reclaiming My Legacy   Chapter 59: Dreaming In The Wonderland.

    Chapter 59: Dreaming In The Wonderland.**Lily’s POV**I was already in wonderland, dreaming of my wedding day with Lucas and how I am going to ride him with reverse cowgirl all through our wedding night to the extent that he isn’t going to ever think of another woman.Suddenly, I felt was someone nudging my arm.“Miss Lily… Miss Lily, it’s past six.”I stirred, blinking my lashes heavy with sleep. John’s voice was tugging me out of the most restless nap I’d had in weeks. My eyes flew open and immediately adjusted to the dim light of the office wing. The cubicles were quiet.“Where’s Lucas?” My voice came out sharper than I intended, slicing through the stillness.John shifted awkwardly in his seat, his glasses catching the overhead light. “He left about an hour ago. With Damon.”My stomach plummeted. “He did what?”“He left already, with Damon.” John said carefully. “Were you waiting for him?”I shot to my feet, my blazer sliding off the back of the chair. The quietness of the floor

  • The Heiress Returns: Reclaiming My Legacy   Chapter 57: Piper and Gavin

    Chapter 57: Piper and Gavin**Hannah’s POV**The moment I stepped into the lecture hall, I didn’t even have a second to adjust before Piper came barreling toward me like a human rocket.“HANNAH!” she squealed, practically leaping into my arms. Before I could brace myself, she actually lifted me off the ground in one of her bear hugs.I gasped, arms flailing. “Piper, put me down! People are watching!”She ignored me, squeezing tighter. “Oh my God, you look amazing! Look at that makeup! Who did this to you? Don’t tell me you were trying to win Lucas’ heart with it”“Stop it!” I wriggled free, finally planting my feet back on solid ground. My cheeks were hot from all the stares our classmates were shooting in our direction. “You’re embarrassing me.”Piper stepped back dramatically, pressing her hand to her chest like she’d just been blessed with a vision. “Hannah Black… transformed! The glow-up is real. You’re stunning. Internship looks good on you”I rolled my eyes but couldn’t stop a s

  • The Heiress Returns: Reclaiming My Legacy   Chapter 56: The Paper Fight

    Chapter 56: The Paper Fight**Lucas’ POV**“I am so sorry, I didn’t know...” Damon’s voice cracked, rough with something I couldn’t quite place. Shame, maybe, or fear of what he had walked into.He stumbled backward, his usually steady composure splintering, one hand already fumbling for the door handle like it was his lifeline. His eyes wouldn’t settle, skittering from me to Lily and back again, panic flashing across his face. Damon never panicked. But right then, he looked like a man desperate to disappear.My stomach lurched. What? He couldn’t just leave me here drowning in this mess with Lily.“No…” The word ripped out of me, harsher than I intended, sharp enough to slice the air. My voice ricocheted off the office walls, leaving silence in its wake. Damon froze mid-step, his fingers tightening on the door handle.“Don’t leave,” I pressed, my tone clipped, commanding. The words carried more weight than I meant them to, but I didn’t back down. “This is important.”I turned to Lily,

  • The Heiress Returns: Reclaiming My Legacy   Chapter 55: I like Hannah

    Chapter 55: I like Hannah**Lucas’ POV**I couldn’t get Hannah out of my head.Her face had been haunting me since I saw her framed by that soft makeup she’d worn for the photograph. It wasn’t even heavy, not like Lily’s polished perfection. It was simple… just enough to highlight her curves, her sharp eyes, that maddening mouth. Damn it.She was so pretty.I had stared at her through the glass walls of my office, longer than I should have, wondering how in the hell someone could look so effortless and still leave me this rattled.Every resolve in my to make her hate me crumbled. I do not want her to hate me more, she was too pretty to hate me, I don’t think I would be able to live with myself if she hates me, especially when I am the one who orchestrated it.Now, alone in my office, I was sprawled across my desk like a corpse, forehead pressed against cool wood, my hand gripping the pen so tightly I thought it would snap.What was I supposed to do with this?Day one of the internship
