“Stop chasing after your brother, Aurora!” I rolled my eyes, tapping on my laptop.

“It’s my turn now with the water gun!” She replied, laughing as she chased him down the hallway to the sitting room.

“Mommy!” Adrian cried out, but the sharp knock on the door disturbed me.

When I opened the door, my breath caught. Standing there were Allison and Kirk.

My foster parents. Octavia’s parents.

I hadn’t seen them for over five years. The gray in Kirk’s hair had spread more, and Allison’s face hardly had any wrinkles. Probably because of the Botox she had before I left.

“Allison… Kirk,” I whispered, my throat dry. “What are you doing here?”

They stepped inside without asking, as if the right to enter my home was still theirs. My hand lingered on the door, hesitant to close it, but I took a deep breath and closed it.

Kirk was the first to speak, his voice low but carrying weight. “You know why we’re here.”

I shook my head slowly. “I don’t—”

“Don’t lie to us, Laura,” Allison

  • The Poor Billionaire Heiress Returns!   Chapter 0090

    •ASHLEY•One moment I was happily making lunch, thinking of all the things I wanted to do after. Giselle allowed me to enroll full-time in college, and I wanted to get all my assignments done on time. I was happy and grateful for all the opportunities she was providing for me, even though I hadn't done enough for her. But as I was busy minding my business and humming a song, my cell phone vibrated in my back pocket. I rolled my eyes and tried to ignore it, but I thought it might be important, so I slid the phone out of my pocket and looked at the text. Text: "You'd better tell me where you are, Ashley, or you will be dead when my men find you." I quickly turned off the phone and hyperventilated as I leaned back from the stove. I was frying fries and making burgers. "Are you okay, Ash?" Connor asked behind me, and I turned off the stove before I turned to him. "Yes, I'm fine. And I'm sorry, sir. I hope I wasn't disturbing you. I am making lunch for the kids," I said as I slid m

    •NOAH•The following morning, I knew exactly what to do to apologize to Giselle and make things right.My mind and heart were made up. Giselle was the only woman for me, and I'd cross the widest sea for her heart. She was everything I had ever wanted, but didn't know I had it all along. Tracey's words were still ringing in the back of my head. She came back into my life the moment I needed her. It was as if she knew how vulnerable I was. I needed all the help I could get, and she was the only one who knew me more than Giselle did. I woke up and prepared to attend the funeral, though I initially planned not to go. I didn’t want to regret attending Kiki's last send-off because I didn't want to breathe the same air as Octavia.My mother and brother came with me. Octavia, her parents, and her brother arrived a few minutes after we did. I was a little confused about where they were, but I didn't bother to ask questions, as long as Kiki's funeral would go according to plan. But during

    •GISELLE•For a moment, the world spun, faces and sky blurring together as I struggled to inhale. When I had finally steadied my breathing, the murmurs around me had already shifted into something darker."You have the nerve to come here?” Nick’s voice rang out, sharp and full of rage. He stepped closer, looking down at me. “After everything you’ve done?”I tried to push myself up, but my foot slid on the loose earth and I fell back again, my heart pounding wildly in my chest.“I did nothing,” I cried, my voice shaking as I looked up at them. “Please, I loved Nana. I would never hurt her.”Octavia’s mother let out a broken, furious scream and rushed forward before anyone could stop her. “Stop lying,” she shouted, pointing at me with trembling fingers. “You’re the reason Kiki is dead. You poisoned her life until her body gave up.”Her words felt like blows, each one striking deeper than the last. I shook my head desperately, tears spilling freely as I tried to make them understand.“

    •GISELLE• "Thank you, Giselle," Octavia answered when I pulled away from her. "I honestly don't deserve your forgiveness, but I'll try by all means to show you how grateful I am for another opportunity." I nodded with a smile, though I felt like I was gambling with my life again. There was no telling what she could do to me next, but a part of me hoped she meant every word she said. "Are your parents going to be mad if I come to Nana's funeral tomorrow?" "No, don't worry about them. I'll speak with them, and besides, you were close to Kiki as well, so she will be happy to see that you've made it to her funeral." "Thank you," I answered, smiling at her again. She reached into her handbag and pulled out a small card. I took it, and there were the funeral details on it. "I'll see you tomorrow, sis." She waved at me before she turned around and went to her car in the driveway. I didn't close the door until she had driven away. I closed the door when she was gone and walked d

    •NOAH•"Noah, we need to talk.""Later, Donald. I have an important meeting to attend in an hour," I said as I grabbed my car keys from the hallway counter. "This can't wait." "It can wait until I am back, please." "It's about Tracey," he blurted, and I stopped walking and was frozen with my hand on the doorknob. I didn't know the last time I had heard that name.The last time I had talked with Tracey or seen her was when Giselle and I were still married. She and Giselle were fond of each other. But when Tracey heard I divorced Giselle and married Octavia, she got mad at me. She was my aunt. She and my father were half-siblings after my grandfather married Tracey's mother, and had her. "She's dying, Noah," he continued. "She didn't want me to tell you because she thought you wouldn't want to see her anyway. But I know how close you were to her, so I think you might need to see her." My fist clenched, and I felt at a loss for words. I twisted the doorknob and walked out. When I

    •OCTAVIA•I watched as my parents walked upside down, preparing for Kiki's funeral. Though I was relieved that her day had finally come, it wasn't a pleasant feeling seeing my father on the verge of losing his mind.He didn’t take it well losing his mother after his sister a few years ago, but Kiki had it coming. She wanted to run her mouth to Giselle, and God knows what would've happened if she had seen her.She would've told her everything I had done to her, and I would've lost everything. So, her death was convenient in preventing the truth from coming out."We need Noah to sponsor the funeral," my mother said when she found me scrolling on my phone in the living room. "We can’t cover all the bills ourselves. I thought you knew that and would talk to your husband." "Noah and I aren't talking right now, Mom, and you know that," I sighed, rolling my eyes. "He's angry with me, and I don't think he'd want to hear anything I have to say again." "You shouldn't forget that you've been
