Semua Bab THE REINCARNATION OF THE ASSASSINATED HEIRESS.: Bab 11 - Bab 20

“Your driver is waiting outside, Mistress.”I nodded my head, breathed out, and adjusted my collar again.I was wearing a white pants, and a white suit jacket which almost reached my knees and then a black shirt to match. Together with a black heels and black hand bag, I stood straight as I looked the butler in the eye.“What are you nervous about? It is your right and you are going to claim it,” he moved closer to me and then adjusted my collar.“But… I had called for this kind of meeting just a month ago just to drop that right. Will they ever take me seriously again?”“You are not going there to beg them.”“I… I know.”“You are going there to claim your position, so, stand right, and do not stutter, okay?”My lips tugged into a gentle smile as I stood upright and then nodded my head.“Just tell them everything you have prepared. Let them know your plan for the group moving forward. No one should ever decenter you. No one.”“Thank you, Mr. Jang.”“It’s no problem, Mistress. You shou

“You did not…” he tilted his head and leaned it closer to my face. “You did not forget that, princess? Did you?”“Why do you keep calling me that?” I snapped my brows together in annoyance.“Princess?”“I am no princess.”“Okay, heiress,” he nodded his head and moved away.I shook my head at his unseriousness and walked after him. “We need to talk.”“Of course, we do.”We didn’t stop walking till we got to a car which I assumed to be his, and then he opened the passenger door.“Get in.”“Excuse me?”“You said we needed to talk. Didn’t you?”“So?”“Get in,” he said again.“Where are we going?”“You love to ask questions, Lyra. It’s no fun.”I watched him scratch in between his brows like he was indeed tired of answering my questions and then sighed. “But my car is…”“I’ll get someone to get it for you. Let’s go.”I nodded my head and then entered the car gently but I didn’t miss how he had placed his hand on the edge to avoid me hitting my head and this brought a soft smile to my lips.

“Are you just being wary around me or are you usually suspicious about everything?” He asked me after he had dug into his food already.“N… no,” I picked up my fork and then glanced around.“Lyra,” he dropped his cutlery and then clasped his hands together.“No one can hurt you here.”“Huh?”“I don’t know what you are worried about, but… no one will hurt you as long as you’re with me. Didn’t you come to me because you needed such assurance?”I nodded my head like a lost puppy and he sniffed. “Then, trust me. You need not to worry about a thing whenever you’re with me, okay?”I breathed out, tore my eyes from him, and then started to eat my food.“Stop glaring. I’m eating already,” I muttered in between full mouth and he chuckled before he pulled away.The lunch was silent as neither of us said another word and only shared glances as we ate.“Is this part of your great plan? I don’t even see anyone interested in us,” I hissed, looking around.But, he didn’t seem bothered. He resumed e

The rest of the dinner between the couples, me and Mason, was quite chatty as Kiara had made sure she brought up every topic that was in her head and the man, Kirill, had joined her in talking all through. It was evident that the two were in love. They occasionally touched each other, laughed at each other for no reason and I even felt like even without talking, they could read each other’s minds. I literally felt like an outcast as Mason had chosen to not say a word and had only focused on his meal. And when the dinner was finally over, we started to talk about the wedding. Kiara wanted to know more about how we met though, and as if he had been waiting to be asked, Mason had brought up the lie that we met first at an official meeting where I had taken an interest in him. What a man! “But, it was you who did the chasing around," I had added hurriedly, which made Kiara make a sound, “Awwn.” While we talked, Kirill only watched us. It was as though he could see through us and thi

“I am okay…” I forced a smile back and then added when he raised his brows, “Babe.”“Let’s go,’’ he clasped our hands together and then locked them together.As he prepared to walk away with me, Kevin grabbed my other hand and then shouted.“You can't leave me, Lyra! You can't!"And I closed my eyes shut. This was what I had been trying to avoid the whole time.“Hey!” I sucked my teeth and turned to look at him again.“You can’t get rid of me easily. Don't even think that will be possible because of this man. I am not scared of you!” he snapped at Mason and I turned to look at the man who looked at him with the most calm face ever.When Kevin slowly went on his knees with a knowing smile on his face, I cussed under my breath as I understood what he was trying to do. He wanted to cause a scandal and it didn't take long before everyone gathered and then the reporters raised their camera.“Are you seriously leaving me for this man? Are you doing this because he is richer than I am? You e
