Semua Bab CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!: Bab 51 - Bab 59

Chapter 51 Rhea's Pov “Rhea!” Alaric stormed in, breath heaving, dark eyes locked on me with a look that could freeze hell. “Let. Her. Go.”His voice was low, cold, each word like a gunshot. Jones jolted behind me, tightening his grip, the blade pressing even harder against my skin. I winced as a thin line of blood trailed down my throat.“You take one more step, and she dies!” Jones barked, dragging me back toward the window, “I swear to God, Vale, I’ll do it!”Alaric’s hands curled into fists at his sides, “Don’t test me.”My knees buckled again under the pressure. I couldn’t hold my own weight, but the moment I heard Alaric's voice, something shifted in me. I wasn't going to become a fucking hostage! My hands, trembling and slick with sweat, suddenly shot up to Jones’s arm. I gripped it with every ounce of strength I had left, then threw my weight sideways, using the only leverage I had, gravity.The movement caught Jones off guard and we both stumbled to the ground. And in th

Chapter 53 Alaric's Pov I stared at Rhea, silently watching her beautiful and calm face but the scenes of Jones threatening her with a knife flashed in my head multiple times. I clenched my fists, anger surging throughout my body. If I had come later, who knew what kind of story we would have been saying now?! She almost got stabbed by a knife again! “Alaric!” Nathan walked into the room, “I was able to transfer the footage and you were right, someone had let him into the hospital.” Nathan murmured. I raised my head and took the phone he handed to me, clicking on the video. Jones had bypassed the security by acting like he was going to visit a family member, however, when he got inside the hospital, he met with another guy who took him to the VIP ward and then left. My eyes darkened, “Where is he?” “He realised his cover had been blown so he made a run for it. But our men have surrounded him, it's only a matter of time before they get here.” I didn't respond. I glanced a

Chapter 55Rhea's Pov “So you're saying that it was all a misunderstanding? She wasn't actually the one who pushed you?” A police officer questioned. “No, she wasn't.” I shook my head, “The person who pushed me was a maid that was targeting the both of us. I think she was jealous of your relationship, she fled so we haven't been able to catch her yet but we're working on it. I should have come here since last week, but things happened, I was hospitalized for a few more days.” I explained, smiling politely at them. The officer stared at me, pity in his eyes. What happened at the hospital wasn't hidden so a lot of people heard about it, he was also one of the police officers who had re-arrested Jones.“I understand, and I hope you didn't have too much of a scare. Things like that tend to give people trauma.” He stood from his chair and directed someone else to bring Ginny out of the cell. “Well…” I trailed off. I hadn't been able to sleep peacefully these days without having some so

Chapter 57Rhea's Pov “But they haven’t yet.” I interrupted sweetly, “And you know why? Because I didn’t need to lie, Ginny. You did everything yourself. You gave me everything I needed and I will use that to its full advantage. So be a good girl and behave yourself for now, okay? But if you want to go on a rampage, go ahead, I won't stop you. But just understand that whatever you do, I'll return back tenfold.” I paused, letting the words sink in. Ginny slumped on her chair, no expression on her face but I could see the gears in her head turning. The warning didn't need to be said, Ginny wasn't going to listen to me anyways and even if she didn't do a thing, I wasn't going to stop my revenge on her but anyways, she shouldn't say I didn't warn her. “Ah… We are back home.” I said softly when the car was parked into the garage. Then I turned to Ginny, smiling, “Be a good girl and help me out of the car will you? I still can't walk.” Ginny gritted her teeth and did as I asked without

Chapter 59 Rhea's Pov “Let's just say… I want to drive them to their edge and what better way is it than to start taking the things they thought they had one by one?”“I have no idea on what you're trying to accomplish but whatever you want, I'll do it. Now that you've come to your senses, I'm more happy than ever.” Lilian sounded genuinely excited and happy for me. I had thrown away a gem because of trash like Kevin and the rest. “I'll treat you to a meal the next time we meet each other. Chinese, Italian, Indian, Nigerian, anything you want. You'll get it all.” “I’ll hold you to that.” Lilian replied, laughing softly, “I don’t get spoiled enough these days, so prepare to pay up.”“I’m serious. Once things calm down, let’s go out, just the two of us.”“I’d love that.” She said warmly, and for a brief second, it felt like the world was just a little less cruel. We stayed silent for a few heartbeats, the kind of silence that wasn’t heavy or awkward but peaceful. It was strange how
