Our children...

Those words instantly sent a tremor through Serena’s chest. Her lips stayed tightly shut, but her mind wasn’t nearly as still. Too many things were buried inside her. And William, realizing that, cleared his throat softly before continuing.

"Like it or not, I’ve come to think of them as my own children," he said without the slightest hesitation. "You can deny it if you want, but that’s truly how I feel."

Serena had no idea how to respond. All she could do was turn her gaze away, to the view outside William’s office window. Quietly, her fingers clenched the end of her blouse. Silence stretched until William spoke again.

"I’m holding a press conference tonight," he said, softer this time. Almost pleading. "I hope you’ll stand with me. Right now, you’re the only one I can rely on."

Serena drew in a long breath. Slowly, she looked back at him. It was the first time she had ever seen William swallow his pride and ask for help. It was exactly what she used to dream of, yet n

  • The Hidden Heiress: A Sweet Taste of Revenge   From Enemy to Shelter

    Tears blurred Serena’s vision as she pressed a hand over her mouth, stifling the sob that nearly escaped.Every instinct screamed at her to go back, to grab William’s arm and refuse to let him go. But she knew she couldn’t. If she moved now, everything William had done would be for nothing.Why would he go this far, risk everything, just to protect her?Serena forced herself to crawl backward before turning away, each step feeling like shards of glass ripping through her chest. Her breaths came shallow and tight, especially when the memory of his unwavering gaze resurfaced.Why did it have to be like this? Hadn’t he once been so desperate to discard her? Worse, William had wanted her dead, as if taking her life would have brought him satisfaction.She slowly shook her head and glanced back again. She hoped she might still see him, but William was gone, swallowed by the distance. Fresh tears slipped down her cheeks."What does all of this mean?" Serena sobbed, clutching the hem of her

  • The Hidden Heiress: A Sweet Taste of Revenge   Tears I Never Meant to Cry

    Crash!Elsewhere, a woman sat in utter chaos, shards of broken glass scattered before her. Her eyes were swollen, her makeup smeared, and her hair hung in a wild mess. Every breath she took was heavy, especially as her hands clenched tightly into fists."Damn it! This is all because of that woman!" Cassandra screamed, snatching the nearest object and hurling it at the wall.Her room descended further into ruin. The photographs of her with William only twisted the knife deeper, especially when she remembered how easily he had ended their relationship, and how confidently he had stood before the cameras beside Serena."It’s because of that ghost of a woman!" Cassandra snarled, her fists shaking."William used to come to me no matter what whenever I threatened him! He was always afraid I’d do something reckless! He...he never wanted to see me broken or hurt!"She grabbed another object and threw it with all her strength before collapsing onto the floor. Tears streamed freely as memories

  • The Hidden Heiress: A Sweet Taste of Revenge   Playing Like Kids, Planning Like Geniuses

    "I’m still curious! How did you suddenly manage to do something that cool?"Back to Caelen and Caelric. The two boys were now walking side by side toward the park near their housing complex, with Caelia walking ahead of them. They whispered to each other while Caelia asked one of the caregivers for a drink. From time to time, their eyes scanned the surroundings. It was as if they truly wanted to make sure that no one was watching them."At that time, I accidentally saw one of Graddy’s most trusted men, who was completely focused on his phone, from the second floor," Caelen began his story, making Caelric beside him listen even more intently."At first, I was just curious," he continued, reminiscing. "I didn’t even know what it was for. But when I saw Graddy asking him about someone’s location, I felt really amazed!""Wow! You’re awesome!" Caelric exclaimed, then quickly covered his mouth when he noticed the caregivers staring at him.Quick-witted as ever, Caelric pretended to point at

  • The Hidden Heiress: A Sweet Taste of Revenge   Dreams Don't Lie

    Caelric’s desperate plea made Martin lower his head once more, his hand gently brushing the boy’s hair. He released a quiet breath, barely noticeable. One of his hands clenched tightly, as if holding back a storm raging in his chest."Graddy," Caelric whimpered again, his round eyes blinking slowly. "You can help find Mommy, right? Caelen, Caelia, and I... we’re really worried about her, Graddy."Martin didn’t answer right away. Instead, he shot a brief glance at his most trusted man, a silent signal passing between them. Moments later, the man stepped aside, already trying to reach someone on his phone.Caelric lifted his gaze back to his grandfather, only to be distracted by Caelen’s excited voice calling out from a distance."I found Mommy, Graddy!" Caelen announced proudly, instantly drawing Martin’s and Caelric’s attention."What do you mean?" Martin asked, his brown eyes sharp and assessing."I saw Uncle do it once, tracking someone through their phone. I tried it myself... and

  • The Hidden Heiress: A Sweet Taste of Revenge   What We Could Never Be

    "You’ll regret this, Serena!" William growled through clenched teeth. "I’ll tear apart everything you believe about me until you’re the one kneeling before me!"A faint, almost sorrowful smile curved Serena’s lips as she met the cold gray of his eyes. "Before you destroy anything, make sure you’re not destroyed first, William.""That won’t—""You can’t destroy what you don’t even understand," she cut in sharply. "And you’ve never faced your own weakness!"Unwilling to waste any more time, Serena finally stood up for real. She turned and walked toward the old house where she and William had taken shelter the night before. She had lost her appetite completely. Her hunger had vanished, replaced by a jumble of conflicting emotions swirling in her chest.At the threshold, she stopped.Serena looked back once more, her gaze lingering on William’s rigid figure, still bearing the pain she had inflicted. A quiet breath escaped her lips before she closed her eyes, as if bracing herself against

  • The Hidden Heiress: A Sweet Taste of Revenge   A Dangerous Kind of Wild

    Once again, Serena lifted her gaze, meeting William’s eyes as he continued to watch her intently from a dangerously close distance. She closed her eyes for a moment, feeling the brush of his warm breath against her face. At times, their foreheads touched, especially when she felt the gentle stroke of his fingers against her hand.This was no longer about desire. Serena knew that clearly. William’s question wasn’t leading merely to an intimate union, but to a complete shift in the direction and purpose of the life she had already chosen."We can’t keep lying to ourselves, Serena," William murmured again, his voice low and coaxing. His gray eyes softened as he studied the doubt etched across her face before he leaned in once more and kissed her lips.Serena tried to push him away when his kiss grew more demanding. Her mind screamed that this was wrong, that it should never be happening. But her body betrayed her. A soft, unintended gasp escaped her lips just as his tongue grew bolder, t
