•NOAH•

The day of Donald’s funeral came sooner than I expected, and I felt sick the moment I stepped out of the car and saw the hearse parked in front of the church, because seeing it made everything real in a way nothing else had.

I stood still beside my grandfather, staring at the coffin being carried inside by the men in black suits, and my chest tightened when I realized that my brother was inside that box and that I would never see him alive again.

I didn't know what I was supposed to feel

  • The Poor Billionaire Heiress Returns!   EPILOGUE: Chapter 0139

    •GISELLE•[THIRTY-ONE YEARS LATER]The house was full during the holidays when our kids and grandkids came to visit us. Christmas had always been important to us, but now it meant something more meaningful, because every year we were still here felt like a gift that neither of us took for granted.Our children had arrived days ago, filling every bedroom and every corner of the house with their presence. And now our grandchildren filled the spaces in between, and every time I looked at them, I was reminded that everything Noah and I had endured had been worth it.Twenty-two grandchildren.Even now, the number amazed me.They were everywhere. My goodness. I didn't even know their names. It was hard now to memorize names or anything, but Twenty-two was a great number to remember. Some of them were gathered around the dining table, finishing the last of the desserts that had taken hours to prepare, while others sat on the floor near the fireplace, talking quietly with each other. A fe

    •NOAH•It had taken weeks of planning and quiet coordination to make sure everything at home would continue without us for one evening. We needed some time away from the children, and the constant movement inside our house that never truly seemed to rest. Giselle and I hadn’t had a moment that belonged only to the two of us in longer than I wanted to admit.As I sat across from her now in the restaurant, I realized how much I had missed simply being with her without interruption or urgency pulling us away.The restaurant wasn't packed, and it had all the favorite foods that Giselle and I used to enjoy before we had our third child. I had chosen it carefully because I wanted this night to be free from distraction, free from expectation, and free from everything that had defined our lives for so many years.Giselle looked beautiful.And as she sat there with her hands resting lightly on the table, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how much time had passed since the first day

    •AURORA•The bright lights above me were harsh and too bright as I stood in the middle of the set with dozens of people moving around me and cameras positioned at every possible angle. I reminded myself to stay focused and remember every emotion my character was supposed to feel, even though my mind kept drifting to how strange it was that this had become my life. There had once been a time when I was just another girl running through the halls of our home with my brothers and sisters, laughing without responsibility, without expectation, and without knowing that one day millions of people would watch my face on screens and believe every word I said.“Places, everyone!” the director called out loudly, and the noise around me began to quiet as the crew prepared for the next scene.I took my position, standing near the large window that had been built specifically for this set. I stared outside even though there was nothing real beyond it. My character was supposed to hate the man

    •ADRIAN•[FIFTEEN YEARS LATER]Two years had passed since the day my father handed me the responsibility of protecting everything he had built. Even though I had been young when he first started teaching me about the business, I now understood the full weight of carrying the Blackwood name and making decisions that affected thousands of people who depended on our company for their livelihood and stability. Every morning I woke up before sunrise and walked into an office where everyone looked at me with expectation and respect. I never complained about the pressure because I knew my father had carried it long before me, and I wanted him to be proud of the man I had become.That afternoon, I left the office later than I had planned because a meeting with investors had taken longer than expected. As I stepped out of the building and got into my car, I loosened my tie and exhaled slowly, trying to release the tension that always stayed in my shoulders after hours of serious discussion

    •ASHLEY•[FIVE YEARS LATER]Sometimes it still felt unreal to me how much life could change in five years. There had been a time when I couldn’t even imagine surviving another month without feeling like I was falling apart.But now I was sitting in the passenger seat of Atlas’s car with our daughter asleep in the backseat, watching the familiar streets of Chicago come into view as my heart filled with anticipation.I glanced back at Chelsea, who was fast asleep in her car seat, her small head tilted slightly to the side and her lips parted, and I smiled softly because she was the greatest gift life had given me after everything I had endured.Atlas reached for my hand and squeezed it gently, his thumb brushing over my skin in a way that grounded me instantly.“Are you nervous?” he muttered.I shook my head. “No,” I answered. “I’m happy.”He smiled at me before returning his attention to the road, and I leaned back in my seat, my chest tightening slightly as memories of the past mixed

    •GISELLE•The sound of the gunshot was so loud and sudden that my body reacted before my mind could understand what was happening. But I felt Noah’s hands shove me down hard against the porch floor as his body covered mine completely, shielding me while my ears rang and my heart began to pound so violently that I thought I might lose consciousness.For a few seconds, I couldn't breathe properly because fear had locked my chest. All I could think about were the twins and whether they had been hurt. Their voices had been right behind us only moments before everything changed.I heard movement, footsteps, and then the sound of a car engine starting.For a moment, the entire scenario reminded me of what happened at the restaurant when I was with Connor. He died as well trying to protect me. Noah lifted his head, his body still covering mine as he looked toward the driveway. I turned my head enough to see a dark car speeding away from the front of the house, its tires screeching as it

    •OCTAVIA•I rushed to my room when Noah had dropped me off at home, thinking about Giselle and how she got out of the open grave. I wanted to take off the tight dress before calling the guys who were guarding the cemetery. They were supposed to tell me if Giselle crawled out of the grave. What ma

    •OCTAVIA•I stood in front of the mirror while preparing for Noah to arrive when the money clocked in. Twelve million dollars. I stared at it in disbelief at first and laughed. The money was in, just when I thought Kiki might have lied to me or something. She was an old scammer, and I almost did
