Chapter 72: My Knight In Shiny Amour

**Hannah’s POV**

“Adopted?”

John’s voice cracked through the hallway, sharp and incredulous, like the word itself had stabbed him in the chest. His eyes widened, shifting from me to Lily and back again, searching for a denial, a confirmation, anything that would settle the storm I had just unleashed.

For a moment, the air went still.

I hadn’t planned on saying it, not out loud, not here, not in this hallway with ears that didn’t belong to either of us. But Lily had pushed me too far, pressed on my nerves until my patience snapped like brittle glass.

And so, there it was.

The truth.

I lifted my chin, refusing to take it back.

John leaned forward slightly in his chair, curiosity practically pouring out of him. His lips parted as if he wanted to say more, but he stopped himself, studying Lily like she was a puzzle piece that had been forced into the wrong puzzle.

Lily’s face drained of color. Her lips trembled, but no words came out.

  • The Heiress Returns: Reclaiming My Legacy   Chapter 191

    Chapter 191Hannah’s POVI stood behind the podium, hands trembling around the paper I’d written. The words blurred as I stared down at them, my vision swimming with tears that refused to stay hidden any longer.People were gathered, friends, family, even strangers whose lives Damon had quietly touched. Their faces were somber, some red-eyed, some lost. Lucas sat in the front row beside Damon’s mother, his hand gripping hers tightly. Piper sat just behind them, crying silently.I took a deep breath. My voice trembled when I began.“Damon Rice was… one of a kind.”My throat tightened immediately. I swallowed hard and forced myself to continue.“He was brave. He was loyal. He was… the kind of friend you don’t meet twice in a lifetime. He was someone who loved deeply and fought harder for the people he cared about. I didn’t know what it truly meant to have someone stand up for me until Damon did it, he always.” I let out a wry laugh, “He always sided with me, even when Lucas didn’t like

  • The Heiress Returns: Reclaiming My Legacy   Chapter 190

    Chapter 190 Lucas' POV "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust…" The priest's voice broke through the heavy silence like a distant echo, carried by the cold wind that whipped through the cemetery with bitter insistence. My fingers clenched tighter around the folded handkerchief I was holding. The white fabric was already damp from tears I didn't even remember shedding, soaked through in places where I'd pressed it against my eyes trying to stem the endless flow. Damon's coffin rested in the earth before us, polished wood gleaming beneath the gray sky like some cruel mirror reflecting back our collective grief. Mahogany, because he'd once joked that if he ever died young, he wanted to go out in style. I'd laughed then. The sound of shovels digging into the dirt felt like thunder to my ears, impossibly loud in the hushed stillness. Each thud of falling sand hit me like a heartbeat that refused to stop, a rhythm that marked time I wished would simply cease. He's really gone. The thought ci

    Chapter 189Lucas’ POVThe hospital hallways smelled of antiseptic and panic. My hands were still sticky with Damon’s blood, drying now, cracking against my skin every time I moved my fingers. I didn’t even realize I’d been pacing until Hannah gently touched my arm.“Lucas,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “please sit down.”I couldn’t. My knees were locked, my chest tight, my ears ringing with the sound of the gunshot that refused to fade. The red stains on my shirt looked darker under the harsh hospital lights. I stared at them, feeling like if I just rubbed hard enough, just maybe… I could erase the last hour.The doors to the emergency room swung open.The doctor stepped out. His scrubs were stained too with red and brown, and I hated that I noticed that detail. His face said it all before he even opened his mouth.I froze anticipating his response, hoping for a positive feedback.“I’m sorry,” he said quietly, eyes lowered. “He lost too much blood. We tried everything we coul

  • The Heiress Returns: Reclaiming My Legacy   Chapter 188

    Chapter 188 Lily's POV The flashing red and blue lights painted the night in chaos, strobing across faces frozen in horror, across the scattered debris of what should have been a perfect evening. Hands grabbed me — rough, cold, metallic cuffs clicking tight around my wrists with a finality that should have terrified me but instead only fueled the fury burning in my chest. I could hear the panicked voices, the shouts of the crowd, the echo of sirens bouncing through the square like war drums announcing my failure. "Get off me!" I screamed, thrashing against the two officers dragging me across the pavement, my heels scraping against the ground as I fought their grip. The feathers of my peacock costume scattered around me like torn wings, beautiful plumage reduced to trash littering the street. How poetic. How perfectly symbolic of everything that had gone wrong. "You don't understand! I didn't kill who I wanted to kill!" The words tasted bitter on my tongue, acidic with disappointme

    Chapter 187Piper's POVThe sirens wailed closer, the blue and red lights flashing against the chaos, painting everything in alternating strobes of color that made the scene feel even more surreal, more nightmarish. People were crying, whispering, recording—phones held up like they were documenting a show instead of a tragedy, and the sight of it made bile rise in my throat—but all I could see was Damon.Lying there in Lucas's arms, covered in blood that seemed impossibly dark against the grass, against his skin, against everything. Too much blood. Far too much.The man who confessed his feelings even when I wasn't ready to hear them, standing there vulnerable and honest while I hid behind confusion and fear.And now, he was slipping away right in front of me. "You have to fight, Damon!" I sobbed, my voice raw and breaking as I crawled closer on my hands and knees, not caring about the blood soaking into my dress, not caring about anything except getting to him. "You have to make it
