All Chapters of CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Rhea's POV “Hello? Yeah, this is Rhea Thorne, and I would like to invest in SilverBridge. I've checked the stock markets and the price is rising every minute, I feel like it's going to be worth investing. I already added in all of my savings, and it's rising at every moment. Knowing how it is now, I'm sure I'll be rich by the time I'm able to sell all my stocks. Yes, thank you. I'll be waiting for your response.” I smiled, disconnecting the call after I finished. Putting my phone back into my bag, I glanced at the wall behind me, a smirk on my face, then I turned around to leave for school. “Miss Rhea, are you still not willing to pick up Kevin from school like you used to? I mean, Miss Ginny and Kevin are…” “How many times have I asked you not to interfere with whatever I am doing?” I asked coldly, glaring at the driver. He shrank back and apologised. “I'm sorry Miss Rhea but Kevin loves you dearly, I don't know why he's acting like this. You should go to meet him so you both

Rhea's POV “Shit!” I cursed myself. Over and over, the same thought looped through my head I should’ve known that Kevin would stoop this low. I should’ve known he wasn’t above pulling something this insane. After all, this was the same Kevin from my past life. Though in my past life, he hadn’t done anything this extreme. He'd been cruel, yes, distant, a liar, a user, but he’d never locked me in a basement like some twisted villain out of a bad movie. So why now? Why this? What has changed? I leaned my head back against the cold cement wall, letting the pain in my cheek throb as a reminder that this wasn’t some horrible dream. The silence down here was maddening, thick and pressing, broken only by the occasional skittering of rodents in the corners or the ominous drip of moisture from the ceiling. The window. I looked over again. It was high up, sealed, small, barely wide enough to fit my shoulders through even if I did manage to open it. I’d already tried it once after being s

Rhea's POV I ran until my legs gave out beneath me. My chest heaved, lungs burning as if they were being clawed from the inside. My ears rang with a deafening high-pitched whine, so loud it drowned out everything, my thoughts, my guilt, my fear. And then, the world spun sideways. My knees buckled. My vision blackened at the edges. The concrete rushed up to meet me, and I collapsed onto the pavement, the cold pressing against my skin. Vaguely, I sensed people around me, speaking and asking me things but I couldn’t hear a word. Just that endless, piercing ringing. Then nothing. I jolted awake, gasping for air like I’d been underwater. My heart thundered against my ribcage, each beat like a drum of panic. My arms flailed, trying to break free from the sheets tangled around me. Everything hurts. My throat was sore from screaming, I realized I was screaming. A nurse rushed into the room. She tried to hold me down, murmuring words I couldn’t fully comprehend. My eyes darted around the

Kevin's POV “What are we going to do? If the police arrest Rhea and she confesses to them, wouldn't that put us in trouble? I mean, we might try to sue her but in the end, it won't work in our favour. Jones was the one who threw himself at her and she was scared, it's understandable if she acted on self defense! We also kidnapped her!” Anabelle said in a panic as she paced around the house, biting her fingernails. Her eyes were red, she looked like she could start crying any minute from now. “Don't jinx it all! Brother, you said Rhea was dumb right? She still loves you so much that she's only trying to throw a tantrum, if you coax her a little, she'll say that it was all a misunderstanding, and we could even sue her for cutting Jones with a knife and get a huge sum of money from her. You can also guilt trip her into entering a marriage with you. That'll work, won't it?” Arabella continued, shaking. “Just shut up and let me think! Your voices are making it hard for me!” I yelled,

Rhea's POV “On the ground that you were innocent in all of this, and the Hendersons have confessed to Jones Henderson being the one who planned and blackmailed them, you're free to go.” A police officer said to me, opening the gates. I stepped out, taking a deep breath. “Then… What's going to happen to Jones?” “He'll be trailed. Amongst what he did to you, there has been a series of crimes which he had committed, however he never went to jail and they released him in a few hours with him promising to conduct himself. Crimes like shoplifting, stealing cars and selling them to others under a fake persona, making scamming amongst other dangerous crimes.” “Then why hasn't he gone to jail yet? I'm confused.” “That's what I was trying to figure out as well. When we started investigating his other crimes and why he wasn't given any jail term, it seems like he had some backer who always bribed some of the police officers and in return, they let him go. Most of his crimes aren't
