WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 46 – The Side They Didn’t Secure
Ivy didn’t check her mirror again. Not because she didn’t care. But because she already knew. They were still there. Not as close. Not as obvious.But present. Tracking. Adjusting. Watching every shift she made. Good. That meant they were still focused on her. Which meant—Sebastian had space. And space was everything right now.Cruz shifted slightly in the passenger seat, her voice quieter but steadier than before. “They’re not pressing you,” she said.“No,” Ivy replied. “They’re pacing.”A pause.“Why?” Cruz asked.Ivy&r
WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 45 – The One They Didn’t See Move
Sebastian didn’t hesitate once the car pulled away. That was the difference.Before—Every move had been calculated. Shared. Controlled. Now—It was instinct.He turned immediately, stepping into the shadow of the narrow street, letting the distance grow between him and the main road. The sound of Ivy’s car faded quickly, replaced by the low hum of the city.Alive.Unaware.Uninvolved.Good.That worked in his favor. “They’ll track her first,” he muttered under his breath.Because they always wou
WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 44 – The Crack They Didn’t Close
Ivy didn’t slow down after the turn. If anything, she accelerated. Not recklessly. Not visibly. But enough to shift the rhythm again.Because rhythm—That was what they were watching. What they were learning. And what she needed to break.“They’re still on us,” Sebastian said, checking the mirror again.Ivy didn’t look. “I know.”“They didn’t follow the turn directly.”“No.”Cruz leaned forward slightly. “They split.”That landed immediately.

WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 43 – The Pattern That Broke First
They didn’t speak for a while after the car disappeared. Not because there was nothing to say. But because everything that needed to be understood had already settled between them.The confirmation. The shift. The reality of what they were up against.Sebastian leaned back in his seat, exhaling slowly. “That was too easy,” he said.Ivy kept her eyes on the road. “It wasn’t easy.”“No?” he said. “Because it felt like they just… showed up.”“They didn’t show up,” she replied. “They allowed it.”Cruz frown
WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 42 – The One Behind The Glass
The window didn’t come all the way down. Just enough. That was the first thing Ivy noticed.Not open. Not inviting. Controlled. Deliberate. Like everything else.She didn’t slow the car. Didn’t turn. Didn’t react. But her attention—Fully locked.The silhouette inside the black sedan didn’t move at first. Just sat there. Watching. Measuring. Waiting.Sebastian shifted slightly in his seat. “I don’t like this,” he muttered.“You’re not supposed to,” Ivy replied.Cruz leaned forward from the back, her voice lower now. “Don&r
WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 41 – The Moment They Step In
They didn’t send another message. That was the first sign something had changed.Up until now, every move Ivy made had triggered a response—subtle, controlled, immediate. A message. A location. A shift in direction.Now—Nothing.And that silence felt louder than anything else.“They stopped,” Sebastian said quietly.Ivy didn’t take her eyes off the road. “No,” she replied. “They didn’t.”“Then where is it?”“They’re waiting.”

The casket was lowered at exactly 11:17 a.m.Ivy Blackwood noted the time without meaning to. Her mind clung to numbers when feelings threatened to surface—dates, balances, margins of error. It was easier to measure grief than to feel it. Easier to stand still in black silk and diamonds and let the
