All Chapters of CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!: Chapter 421 - Chapter 430

Rhea's Pov “W… What… What the hell is this?” I questioned, pointing to the phone. My eyes were wide, my hands trembling. In the picture was a wall, or a board, and on that board were dozens of pictures of me. Different kinds of pictures, from different angles, with different outfits. There were all pictures of me before I came to Imperial City. Laziel, alerted by the sudden tension and the change in my voice, had gotten off the bed and was now looking over my shoulder at the screen, his sharp intake of breath a clear sign of his shock.“We were sent to investigate something for Alaric and we came across this board. The whole place had been cleared out, except from the board. We deduced that whoever it was that took these pictures left it there on purpose. They wanted us… Or you and Alaric to know that they were stalking you. When we remembered these pictures, we thought that maybe, the person behind this could also be the person behind the accident. Maybe Isabelle was also used as a

Rhea's Pov “Hi.” I greeted Leon who started to walk towards us. But the instant he saw Alaric, his eyes darkened and narrowed at him. I frowned. “What are you doing here with him?” Leon questioned, his voice cold and low. “With him?” I repeated, “What do you mean by that, Leon?” “Did you forget what he did to you, Rhea? You…?” Leon started, his voice rising with disbelief and anger. Alaric, who had been stiffening since Leon appeared, cut him off instantly. His voice was low, dangerous, and dripping with authority. "You don't need to remind me.” Alaric said, taking a step forward that put him slightly in front of me, directly facing Leon. Laziel, beside me, shifted slightly, ready to intervene, "I don't need you to make me remember that I almost strangled Rhea to death. That is a fact I am fully aware of, and I assure you, it is something I will never forget." Alaric's eyes were fixed on Leon, hard and cold. "However," he continued, his tone cutting, "our life and the state

Isabelle's Pov “I mean it literally, Mr Montaigne.” I said, standing up straight and looking into his eyes, “Alaric is going to find out that I've been dragging him all this while. And when he finds out, what do you think he's going to do? Shake me and tell me well-done? No. He's going to get really angry. He would want to punish me. He never liked me in the first place, and even though I thought that with time, he'll forget that Rhea and love me, perhaps deep down I knew that I didn't stand a chance against that woman.” I explained. “There's still a chance!” My father said, his eyes wide open in a frantic manner but I cut him off. “A chance?” I scoffed “Even at this moment, you still believe that I have a chance with him? Should I tell you something? Alaric told me that he was disgusted with me. He threw up because of me. When I touched him, his face went pale! He doesn't even want to be in the same place as me, how do I still have a chance with him?!” My father didn't answer the

Isabelle's Pov “You…!” Alina started, her face a mess of tears and furiousness. I didn't wait to hear the rest of her pathetic threat. I raised my hand in a dismissive gesture, shutting her up completely. She looked annoyed, more so even angry, but honestly, it was none of my business. I was done with the drama in this toxic house.I took a deliberate step closer to her, ensuring that I met her tear-filled eyes, “It would do you good, Alina, to watch your actions around me from now on.” I said, my voice low and dangerous, “No matter what happens, we are all in the same boat. If Alaric decides to take revenge on me, this family, this whole Montaigne family will not be spared either. So, I'll advise you to behave yourself and stay quiet, or else, you'll regret it.”Alina’s anger seemed to sharpen, her voice dropping, becoming dangerous, “Is this a threat?”“Anyhow you take it ” I said, shrugging slightly, the movement sending a jolt of pain up my arm, but I ignored it, “A threat, a war

Rhea's Pov “Who was that?” Alaric questioned the moment he got out of the bathroom. I immediately turned the phone face down on the table, offering him a brilliant smile, "No one. Just a scam call." I decided to ignore Isabelle's panicked meeting request for a few minutes. Alaric and my enjoyment of the moment came first. "By the way, I'll be heading out in a bit.” I said. Alaric came to stand behind me, his hair still dripping with water. Those water drops fell on his chest and ran down his abdominal muscles. I stared at his chest long and hard, then a question popped up in my head. “Hey, even while you were with Isabelle, did you work out?” I murmured, getting up and placing my hands on his stomach. He flexed a bit, making me laugh. “But seriously, did you work out?” He chuckled, a low, rumbling sound that vibrated against my fingers, "To be honest, I did work out. I was quite obsessed with it actually. Since I had nothing to do, and I wanted to distract myself, that was the
