The Lost Heiress's Glorious Return 84
ColeI pulled up in front of the Martinez mansion, the house that had been Yasmin’s personal hell. The last place she had been before she... died. Or at least, before she disappeared.I didn’t want to believe a damn word that woman had said. Mirela Gomez. She had carefully spun a story that sounded like the world’s biggest coincidence.A woman who looked like Yasmin, appearing out of nowhere right after Yasmin supposedly died? It was ridiculous.And yet, something about it stuck with me.She had even invited me to Arlene’s launch, claiming it was the only way to uncover the truth. She sounded like she pitied me, which made me sick.If she had done a background check, then she must have known the hell I was going through, fighting to keep my father’s company from crumbling under Marcus’s relentless attacks.I needed to focus. I needed to talk sense into Marcus. If I could do that, I could shut down this ridiculous theory once and for all.There was no way Yasmin could be Arlene Gomez,

Cole“I’m sorry, but the news circulating the internet has already done more harm to the Martinez Group than we can ignore. It’s bad enough that the public had no idea who your wife was until after her death.” Mr. Williams, one of the men sitting at the table, spoke up. His voice was sharp, and his anger was palpable.Philip tried to calm them down, saying the situation had already been handled. The news had been pulled down, but that didn’t seem to matter to anyone in the room.The boardroom was erupting in chaos, everyone yelling about how this wasn’t what any of them had bargained for.I sat there, silent, as the stakeholders suggested that I step down to let my brother take over the company. Apparently, my health was too much of a risk for them.The constant headlines about my bar-hopping in Hawaii had stained my reputation far more than they were willing to accept.And now, without a wife by my side, they were sure I was no longer fit to hold the seat. I’d been in this position b

Mirela“Nothing yet?” I asked the man in the black face cap who had been keeping tabs on Arlene and Liam. He nodded, confirming what I already feared. They hadn’t been meeting.I couldn’t help but wonder what had caused the rift between them. They had been so into each other, yet now there seemed to be some invisible wall between them.Had Liam done something to earn her coldness? Or was Arlene just pulling away?“Keep an eye on them,” I ordered. “Call me Fiona on your way out.”“Yes, ma’am.”He left my study, and I was left to ponder the situation in silence.Just as I was about to dig deeper into my thoughts, my phone beeped. It was Louis.I rolled my eyes at the message. To me, he was Louis, the man who had made me squirm and laughed relentlessly for twenty years. But to the world, he was Luis Kodra, the renowned designer from Albania.I had no interest in his fame, but he was useful. He sent me yet another design, this one more extravagant and beautiful.The fabric shimmered on th

Arlene“How do you plan on handling the pregnancy after you give birth?” Art’s voice pierced through the quiet, bringing my thoughts to a screeching halt. “What if your stepmother causes trouble and demands a DNA test?”I froze, my heart dropping into my stomach.How come I never thought of that?A part of me wanted to dismiss the idea, but the reality of it hit me like a wave. I had been so focused on keeping my enemies at bay, on surviving the constant threat of Mirela, that I hadn’t even considered the possibility of her pushing things further.I forced a smile, trying to reassure myself. “Mirela won’t cross that line. She knows better than to challenge me on that front.” But even as the words left my mouth, doubt lingered in my chest.I knew Art had called for a reason, though. So, I took a deep breath and redirected the conversation.“Why did you call me, Art? What’s going on?”She was silent for a moment before answering.“Have you been able to find out who leaked the news of my

ArleneIt’s been five days… five agonizing, intoxicating days since that night with Liam.The scandal about the fake products had finally died down, thanks to the lack of any reliable evidence tracing it back to its true source. I knew exactly who was behind it, Mirela. But without proof, calling her out would be a mistake, one she would twist and use against me.So, I let it go. The moment the antidote was released to the public, the media frenzy started fading, and soon enough, the issue was buried.Now, with only two days left until the launch of Penselvia, my focus had shifted.Earlier today, I had gone to the warehouse to personally inspect the final batch of products. The redesign had been completed, and with Ivana’s face perfectly scripted on the brand, everything looked flawless, better than before. This was my vision coming to life, and I couldn’t have been more thrilled.Everything seemed perfect. Or at least, it should have been.But there was a gnawing void inside me.Five

Mirela“I’m having triplets.”Arlene’s voice rang out, clear and confident.I stopped mid-step, my fingers tightening around the railing as I turned back. Daisy, who had been smug earlier, suddenly faltered. For a brief moment, I saw a flicker of happiness on her face, but when she caught my gaze, she cleared her throat, muttered a barely audible “Congratulations,” and quickly grabbed her bag, leaving the room.Meanwhile, Eric was over the moon. His face lit up with joy, his broad smile stretching from ear to ear. “Triplets?” I echoed, forcing my voice to remain steady.Arlene turned to me, that brilliant, self-assured smile of hers shifting into something mocking. “What’s wrong, Stepmother? You don’t like the sound of that?”I scoffed lightly but masked it with a well-practiced smile. “Becoming a grandmother to three children is what anyone would want to hear.” I tilted my head slightly, studying her. “Congratulations, by the way. But if you’ll excuse me, I have to take this, urgent
