Hailey’s POV

The click of the gun echoed louder than it should have.

For one suspended second the entire hangar felt like it stopped breathing.

Janet’s finger tightened on the trigger.

My chest locked, my body refused to move. The barrel of the gun looked enormous from where I stood, dark and hollow, pointed straight at my heart.

This was how it was going to end, not in some dramatic battle, not in some heroic stand.

But here. In a cold abandoned hangar, staring into the shaking hands of a woma

  • The Hidden Heiress Returns    Our Forever

    HaileyThe first time I felt the baby kick, I burst into tears.Kingsley had been sitting beside me on the couch, working on his laptop while I rested with my head against his shoulder.It had been a long day.I was seven months pregnant and tired all the time.My back hurt, my feet were swollen.And if one more person told me to enjoy every second of pregnancy, I was going to scream.I had just reached for the bowl of strawberries on the table when I suddenly froze.My hand moved slowly to my stomach.There it was again, a small little movement.My breath caught in my throat."Kingsley," I whispered.He looked up immediately, the moment he saw my face, all the color drained from his own."What is wrong?" he asked, already dropping his laptop."The baby," I said quickly. "I think..."Before I could finish, there was another kick, stronger this time.My eyes widened, Kingsley stared at me.Then very carefully, he placed his hand over my stomach.For a second, nothing happened.Then the

  • The Hidden Heiress Returns    Our little Miracle

    HaileyA month laterI stood inside the bathroom, staring at the small white stick in my hand, my heart pounded so loudly that I could hear it in my ears.For a second, I thought maybe I was imagining things, maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me, maybe I needed to look again.But no matter how many times I blinked, the result stayed the same.“Positive.”I was pregnant.My hand slowly moved to my stomach, a strange feeling filled my chest.Shock, happiness and fear, everything mixed together until I could barely breathe.I had imagined this moment before.I had imagined what it would feel like to find out I was carrying Kingsley's child.But nothing could have prepared me for how emotional it would actually be.A small laugh escaped my lips before tears suddenly filled my eyes.Oh my God, i was going to be a mother."Hailey?"Kingsley's voice came from outside the bathroom door.I quickly wiped my tears."One minute," I called back.He had been acting strangely all morning because

  • The Hidden Heiress Returns    The Honeymoon

    HaileyThe first thing I heard when I woke up was the sound of waves.For a few seconds, I stayed still beneath the soft sheets, my eyes closed, listening to the peaceful sound outside. The room smelled faintly of roses and the salty breeze from the ocean. Somewhere nearby, I could hear birds singing.Then I felt a strong arm around my waist and a smile slowly spread across my face.I opened my eyes and turned slightly.Kingsley was still asleep beside me.The sunlight from the open balcony doors fell across his face, making him look even more handsome. His hair was slightly messy from sleep and his chest rose and fell slowly.My husband.Even now, after the wedding, it still felt unreal.I carefully lifted my hand and touched his cheek.The moment my fingers brushed against his skin, his eyes slowly opened.A sleepy smile appeared on his lips."Good morning, wife," he said in a low voice.I laughed softly."Good morning, husband."He pulled me closer until I was pressed against his c

  • The Hidden Heiress Returns    The Wedding Day

    Hailey's POV I woke up before the sun came up.For a few seconds, I stayed still in bed, staring up at the ceiling while my heart beat so hard against my chest that I thought it might burst.Today was the day I was getting married.A shaky breath left my lips.I turned my head slowly and looked toward the large window in my room. The curtains were still closed, but soft morning light was already slipping through them.For years, I had imagined what this day would feel like.But now that it was finally here, I felt terrified.What if something went wrong?What if I tripped?What if I cried too much?What if I ruined everything?A knock sounded on the door before I could sink deeper into my thoughts."Come in," I called softly.My mother stepped inside with the biggest smile on her face."You are awake already," she said."I could not sleep," I admitted.She walked toward the bed and sat beside me."Nervous?""Very."My mother reached for my hand."That is normal," she said softly. "Bu

  • The Hidden Heiress Returns    Wedding Plans And New Surprises

    HAILEY'S POV I never knew planning a wedding could be so stressful.At first, it had seemed exciting, picking the dresses, the flowers, the cake and the decorations.Everything had sounded magical when I first started imagining it.But after three days of endless phone calls, meetings, samples, fabrics, colors, and opinions from almost everyone around me, I was beginning to understand why brides looked exhausted before their wedding day.I sat in the large sitting room of my parents' house with at least seven wedding magazines spread around me.There were pictures of white roses, pink roses, ivory tablecloths, crystal centerpieces, expensive cakes, fancy dresses, and enough wedding themes to make my head hurt.My mother sat beside me with a notebook in her hand while two wedding planners stood in front of us talking nonstop."The gold theme will make everything look elegant," one of them said.The other shook her head quickly. "No, soft white and silver will look better. It will make

  • The Hidden Heiress Returns    Just Us Again

    Hailey's POV I woke up with the softest smile on my face.For a few seconds, I stayed still under the blankets, staring at the ceiling of my room while the events of the night before played over and over in my head.Kingsley was back, he was really back for good now.I slowly lifted my hand from under the blanket and stared at the ring sitting on my finger. The diamond caught the morning light pouring through the curtains, and my chest tightened.It still did not feel real.Two years ago, I had cried myself to sleep wondering if I would ever see him again. Two years ago, I had forced myself to wake up every morning and pretend I was okay. I had buried myself in meetings, contracts, office work, and business trips just so I would not have to think about the ache inside me.But now, somehow, everything has changed.The man I loved had come back and he had asked me to marry him.I pressed the back of my hand against my lips, trying to hold back the silly smile threatening to spread acro

  • The Hidden Heiress Returns    It All Started At home

    Hailey's POV By morning, I was someone else entirely.The woman who woke up in Kingsley’s penthouse smiled easily over breakfast, accepted his coffee without comment, and made a dry remark about hospital food being worse than prison rations. I let him tease me about my sleep-deprived eyes. I let h

    Hailey's POV Kingsley didn’t shout.That was the first thing that scared me.His hand locked around my wrist, firm and unyielding, and suddenly I was moving—half-dragged, half-running—down the corridor as alarms screamed overhead. Red emergency lights strobed against the walls, turning the penthou
