The Replacement Heiress 26. Flashback: Scarface's Warning
Nina screamed, thrashing against their grip as two burly men dragged her toward a black van parked across the street. She kicked, twisted, did everything she could to shake them off, but it was like trying to break free from a steel trap. Just moments ago, she had been running for her life. The second she realized her so-called coworkers had thrown her under the bus—turning their backs as if she had never existed—she bolted. She had slipped out through the café’s back door, sprinting down alleyways, ducking behind dumpsters, weaving through the streets like a hunted animal. She had even managed to shake off the men tailing her by leading them down the wrong route. By the time she made it home, she was breathless, her legs aching with exhaustion. But there was no relief. Right there, parked in front of her building, was that van. She stopped dead in her tracks, heart hammering. They were waiting for her. Two men sat in the front, their eyes scanning the street like hawks,
The Replacement Heiress 25. The First Command
After what felt like hours of sitting on the floor, drowning in the eerie silence of her newfound prison, the AI’s voice rang out again—still cold, still emotionless, but at least this time, it wasn’t telling her to rest. "Now is the time for your lunch. You will be having a steamed salmon fillet with quinoa and a side of sautéed greens. Please make your way to the dining room, Miss Adelaide." She didn’t move. Didn’t blink. Didn’t even acknowledge it. She just sat there, arms wrapped around her knees, staring at nothing. Maybe if she ignored it, it would go away. Maybe if she stayed there long enough, the system would glitch and let her starve just out of sheer inconvenience. But, of course, she wasn’t that lucky. "You have thirty minutes to have your lunch, after which your next meal will be dinner at eight." A pause. Then, with unnerving patience, the voice added, "Please indicate if you would like your lunch turned into dinner. Otherwise, move to the dining room now."
The Replacement Heiress 24 Punished in Paradise
The moment Nina stepped into the room, she felt like she had walked straight into a modern-day fairytale. It was nothing short of magical—like the kind of room a princess with a black card and impeccable taste would have. Whoever had designed it? Absolute genius. Since there was nothing better to do, she decided to explore, and within minutes, she understood exactly why Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock had insisted she didn’t need to bring anything with her. This place had everything. The wardrobe alone looked like it belonged to a celebrity—high-end clothes, designer shoes, and accessories that she could never exhaust, even if she changed outfits three times a day for a year. Every corner of the room was stocked with luxury items, beauty essentials, and all the little indulgences a girl could ever dream of. But her favorite part? The balcony. Stepping onto it, she took in the view—crystal-clear waters stretching endlessly, the salty breeze brushing against her skin. It was breathtaking
The Replacement Heiress 23 Welcome to Nowhere
"Miss Adelaide." The voice barely registered at first. It wasn’t until a light tap on her lap that she fully woke up. "Miss Adelaide." The deep voice came again, more insistent this time. Her eyes fluttered open, and for a split second, she forgot where she was. Then it hit her—she wasn’t herself. She was Adelaide. "You were talking in your sleep," Martin said, watching her closely. "Bad dream?" Her stomach twisted. Had she said something she shouldn’t have? Her mind scrambled, but she kept her face calm. "What was I saying?" she asked, forcing an easy, uninterested tone. Martin shook his head. "Nothing I could make out. Just mumbling." Relief flooded her, but she only nodded. "Oh." Crisis averted. Just then, her gaze drifted past him, landing on the massive structure in front of her. Her breath hitched. This… was unreal. The building loomed ahead like something pulled straight out of a luxury travel magazine—tall, pristine, and surrounded by untouched nature.
The Replacement Heiress 22 Goodbye ,Nina .
Two hours later, she stood in front of the grand Whitlock mansion, Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock on either side of her. The weight of their presence pressed down on her, though neither of them spoke as she took slow, deliberate steps toward the sleek black car waiting in the driveway. Martin stood by the open passenger door, his expression unreadable, and just as she reached for the handle, Mrs. Whitlock’s voice sliced through the air. “Wait,” she said. She spun around, her heart lurching with a flicker of hope. Maybe they’d changed their minds. Maybe this wasn’t happening. Maybe— But then Mrs. Whitlock stepped forward and pulled her into an embrace. “You are going to be missed,” she murmured against her shoulder. She swallowed hard, biting back the urge to scoff. Missed? It felt more like they were relieved to be sending her away. But she kept those thoughts to herself, giving nothing away. She didn’t say a word—just nodded. After a brief moment, Mrs. Whitlock pulled back, her h
The Replacement Heiress 21 Two Hours Notice
The conversation should have started immediately. The weight of their halted discussion pressed down on her like an unseen force, heavy and suffocating. But instead, Mrs. Whitlock reached for a serving spoon, her movements graceful and deliberate. “I know what you’re thinking,” she said, a knowing glint in her eyes. “But we eat first.” Just like that, the tension in the air shifted—not gone, but momentarily replaced by the rich, mouthwatering aroma of the food before them. The spread was nothing short of extravagant. Fluffy, golden croissants sat next to neatly arranged fruit platters, the vibrant colors of strawberries, grapes, and mango slices glistening under the dining room’s elegant lighting. There were delicate smoked salmon canapés, eggs cooked to perfection, and a creamy dish that looked like it had been lifted straight from a five-star restaurant’s menu. She watched, slightly stunned, as Mrs. Whitlock served her husband first, then herself, and—to her utter surprise—
The Replacement Heiress 20. Janet
"Okay," Nina said, her voice quiet but firm. She meant it. And honestly? She instantly admired Janet Whitlock. It took real strength to be this open, to lay bare emotions she had spent months locking away. For the first time, Nina saw her not as the cold, distant Mrs. Whitlock, but as a grieving
The Replacement Heiress 19 Almost A Mother
Somehow, she had made it back to her room in one piece, though she had no recollection of the walk. The weight of Mrs. Whitlock’s accusations still pressed against her chest, suffocating, while the unspoken tension from the dining table clung to her like a second skin. Her body had moved on autopi
The Replacement Heiress 18 Fault Lines
“Yes,” Nina said, her voice quieter than she intended. The weight of it settled over her like a lead blanket. But this wasn’t even her fault. Axel hadn’t learned about Adelaide’s illness from her. And yet, she was the one sitting here, about to deliver the kind of news that could crack the very foun
The Replacement Heiress 17 Borrowed Illness
The moment Nina stepped back into her room and shut the door behind her, she let out a slow breath. Her hands were slightly clammy, her mind racing with everything Axel had said. If his expression had been anything to go by, Adelaide’s condition had been far worse than she had originally thought.
