Hailey's POV

The whole scandal with Robert exploded across the internet.

It was everywhere.

Every time I opened my phone, his face stared back at me from news channels, blogs, gossip pages, and all social media.

Everyone had something to say.

"A famous businessman was involved in illegal activities."

"Robert is finally exposed."

"Victims speak out after years of silence."

I sat on the couch with my phone in my hand, staring at the screen while another news reporter spoke about him.

His name had

  • The Hidden Heiress Returns    Between Words And Silence

    Kingsley's POVThe sun looked brighter that morning, I knew it sounded stupid.The sun was still the sun, the sky was still the sky but everything felt different.For days, it had felt like the whole city had been carrying a dark cloud over it in every street, every building, every room in that house.Like Robert's shadow had stretched over everything but now he was gone, finally gone.And maybe that was why the air felt lighter.Maybe that was why even the mansion did not seem as cold as it used to.I sat quietly in the living room and looked around.It still felt strange being there, there was a time I would not even dare step inside this place.Back then, walking through those doors felt like asking for trouble.Robert had made sure everyone knew exactly where they stood around him.One wrong word, one wrong look.And suddenly you had a target on your back.I had learned very quickly to stay out of his way but now he was gone.And for the first time in a long while, the house felt

  • The Hidden Heiress Returns    The Effects

    Robert’s face had gone dark with rage.The board was in open panic now. Two members were arguing near the front, one of Robert’s lawyers was already on the phone. Security hovered uncertainly at the edges, no longer sure who they were protecting. Reporters shouted for comment, for confirmation, for copies, for names.And then officials stepped in.Two financial crime investigators flanked by legal enforcement officers moved through the crowd with documents already in hand. Someone had been called the second the files began to spread, maybe by the press, I did not care.One of them addressed Robert directly.“Mr. Norway, you need to come with us.”The room seemed to hold its breath.Robert looked at the badge. Then at the papers, then at me.There was no smile left on his face now, just hatred.The kind that no longer bothered to wear a tie.“This is not over,” he said quietly.I looked him straight in the eyes.“It is for me.”That was the moment, the real one.It was that second.The

  • The Hidden Heiress Returns    Watching Him Fall

    POV: HaileyMorning came too fast.I did not think I slept at all, but somehow the dark outside the hideout windows had turned thin and gray, and then the gray had given way to pale light. It felt wrong that the sun was rising on a day like this, wrong that the world could still move so normally when my whole life was balanced on what would happen in the next few hours.The room around me was already alive with movement.Laptops open, screens glowing, voices low and sharp, pages printing, phones buzzing. Kingsley’s men moved in and out of the main space with the kind of focus that left no room for panic, cpies of the files had already been made. One set on encrypted drives, one sent to secured channels, one held back in case everything else failed.Nobody was taking chances, not today.I stood near the table in the corner, staring down at the outfit my mother had laid out for me earlier. It was simple and clean. A fitted ivory blouse tucked into dark trousers, sharp enough to make me

  • The Hidden Heiress Returns    If I Fall, He Burns

    POV: HaileyThe gun did not shake or move from where he pointed it at.My lungs locked. My skin turned cold, every sound inside the room changed shape. The hum of the system behind me became louder. The tiny buzz of the overhead light pressed into my skull. I could hear Kingsley breathing, could hear Brandson swallow, I could hear my own heartbeat punching so hard against my ribs that it almost felt like another sound in the room.But the hand holding the gun stayed steady.Steady meant prepared, steady meant he had done this before, steady meant if anyone moved too fast, I would be the one to pay for it.“One more step,” the man repeated, his voice clipped and flat, “and she dies.”Brandson froze so hard the tendons in his neck stood out, his hands were half-curled at his sides like he wanted to tear the weapon apart with his bare fingers. Kingsley stood just to his left, shoulders rigid, eyes locked on the man’s wrist, his elbow, the angle of the barrel, every possible weakness.I k

  • The Hidden Heiress Returns    When The Door Opened

    POV: HaileyThe footsteps did not rush.If someone had run toward the door, if I had heard panic or shouting or the sharp pounding of boots, maybe my body would have known what to do, maybe fear would have turned clean and simple.Should I run, hide or fight?But these footsteps were calm, measured and unhurried.Like whoever was coming already believed the room belonged to him, like he had all the time in the world.My mouth went dry.“Hailey.” Kingsley’s voice came through my earpiece, low and tight. “Listen to me carefully, do not touch anything, step away from the screen and head toward the back wall.”I looked around quickly. There was no real back wall, just a narrow strip of space behind me, a black cabinet, and nowhere to disappear.“There’s nowhere to go,” I whispered.“Then hold your position,” he said immediately. I could hear movement on his side now, voices layered under his, fast and tense. “We’re coming in.”“No,” my mother’s voice cut through faintly from somewhere nea
