The Heiress's Choice 94. With her
Elena's POV“Okay, but he literally didn’t look away from you while Sara was talking.”"He didn’t do that," I said, reaching for my glass."He absolutely did,” Claire said, leaning forward with both elbows on the table, eyes wide. "I was right there, Elena. I saw the whole thing.”Jenna laughed, stirring her drink slowly with her straw."Yeah, we were all watching,” she said, like it was obvious."You're both exaggerating," I said."We're observant." Jenna corrected, pointing at me. "There's a difference.”Claire nodded seriously like Jenna had just said something profound. I shook my head and looked out at the city stretched below us.The rooftop was warm for a Wednesday evening, string lights hanging loosely overhead, low music drifting out from the inside bar.Small tables were scattered around us, people leaning into their own conversations, drinks catching the light.It felt easy here. That was why I had suggested it.They were still going, replaying moments from Caleb’s lake hou
The Heiress's Choice 93. The sports meet
Elena's POV“This one or this one?”I held up two dresses in front of the mirror, studying my reflection like it might pick for me if I waited long enough.My hair and makeup were already done, soft and flawless in that effortless way that still took way too long to achieve. All that was left was choosing what to wear.The black one was safe and familiar. Something I’d worn a dozen times without thinking.The navy one… wasn’t.It was softer, more fitted, with a quiet shimmer that caught the light when I moved it.I hesitated a bit, then tossed the black one back on my bed.The navy went on.This was just another appearance. We’d done enough of these lately for it to feel routine.It shouldn’t feel like anything.But it did. Somehow it did.Because of Caleb.Being around him again after everything. Acting like nothing had happened when everything had.I tried not to let myself think about that too long.My phone buzzed on my nightstand.Caleb: I’m outside.I stared at the message for a
The Heiress's Choice 92. Evening walk
Elena’s pov“Where did I even get this from?”I held up a sweater I didn’t remember buying, staring at it like it might answer me before tossing it into the donation pile.It landed softly in the corner of the room.Five days.Five days since Caleb’s apartment. Five days since silence that felt heavier than words.And somehow, I had spent the evening folding clothes like my life was perfectly normal.The apartment was quiet, no music, no distractions, just the soft sound of fabric being moved and refolded as I tried to stay busy.But my mind kept slipping back to him. Back to that evening.I tried so hard not to think about what could easily be the most embarrassing moment of my life but I failed every time.Then my phone lit up on the coffee table.I glanced at it without thinking, then froze.Caleb.My hands stopped mid-fold, a pair of jeans hanging loosely between my fingers.For a second, I didn’t move at all. I just stared at my phone screen.His name on my screen stared at me.T
The Heiress's Choice 91. Hesitation
Caleb's POV"One more set."I gripped the barbell tighter, my hands already slick with sweat, and pushed through another rep. My arms burned, my shoulders screamed, but I didn't stop.I needed this. I needed the physical pain, something that made sense.Because two days ago, Elena said something I still couldn’t get out of my head.“I didn’t like seeing you with her, okay?”I dropped the barbell back on the rack with a loud clang and stepped back, breathing hard. My home gym was quiet except for my breathing and the low hum of the city outside the glass.I grabbed a towel, wiped my face, then looked at myself in the mirror for a second too long.She was jealous.I moved to the treadmill and started running.I pushed the speed higher than usual, trying to outrun the thought that kept circling back anyway.Elena Sterling was jealous of Sara.And normally, that should’ve been enough. But now, it wasn’t.Because Damien was still there.The thought came in fast too fast to ignore and I pu
The Heiress's Choice 90. Fixing things
Elena's povThe door clicked shut behind me.I dropped my bag on my kitchen counter and kicked off my heels, one sliding too far and hitting the leg of the couch.I didn’t pick it up.My apartment was quiet, the kind of quiet that should’ve felt calming after a long day.It didn’t.I pulled off my blazer and draped it over a chair, then just stood there for a second, staring at nothing in particular.Something felt… off.I exhaled slowly, pressing my fingers briefly against my temple like that would help.It didn’t.The image came back anyway.Yesterday. The garage.Caleb.“You had Sara there, didn’t you?”I shut my eyes for a second and groaned.Why did I say that?I pushed away from where I was standing and moved further into the apartment, like distance could somehow fix it.It wasn’t a big deal.I was tired. Irritated. It just slipped out.That was all.But the explanation didn’t sit right, no matter how many times I repeated it.I grabbed my phone and scrolled through nothing for
The Heiress's Choice 89. He deserves to be happy
Elena’s pov“The usual?”“Please,” I said, already pulling out my card.The girl behind the counter smiled and turned away, and I let out a slow breath, my fingers tightening around my phone before I forced them to relax.I looked around the coffee shop.Same warm lighting, same low hum of conversation, same smell of ground beans and something sweet baking in the back.Nothing had changed.That was the point.I hadn’t planned to step out during work hours, but I needed air, needed something outside of my own head, and this place had always been the easiest answer without me having to think too hard about why.The last three days had been like that, moving without thinking, keeping busy without stopping.Sunday felt far away when I didn’t look at it directly.So I didn’t.I replied to Caleb’s messages late, kept them short, told him I was just busy, that I was fine.And I mostly believed it.Mostly.I stepped to the side to wait, looking down at my phone, scrolling through nothing in p
The Heiress's Choice 35. The Invitation
Damien's POVI stood there in her office staring at the door she'd just walked through, my heart still racing from that kiss.I couldn't hold it back anymore. It's been weeks of keeping my distance and giving her space and trying to be the man she needed me to be. But all it took was one moment o

Elena's POV I stared at my reflection in the bathroom mirror, my toothbrush hanging uselessly in my hand. I couldn't stop thinking about it.The kiss.The way he'd backed me into my desk like he couldn't get close enough.I groaned and shoved the toothbrush in my mouth, scrubbing harder than nece
Huling Na-update : 2026-03-26The Heiress's Choice 34. The Solution
Elena's POV"Oh God, what time is it?"I looked up from the document I'd been staring at for the past two hours, and my stomach dropped when I noticed the light outside.Sunlight.Actual morning sunlight streaming through the office windows, illuminating the mess of papers scattered across my desk.

Elena's POVIt's been two days since I found out my ‘sweet aunt’ Catherine was back in Sterling, and I’d spent every one of them searching for ways to limit her control.Two days of sleepless nights and cold coffee. Two days of coming up empty.I stood in my kitchen now, fully dressed for work, one
