Semua Bab THE REINCARNATION OF THE ASSASSINATED HEIRESS.: Bab 61 - Bab 70

It felt as if the entire world had gone silent—muted by something only he could feel. The only sound Mason could hear was the frantic pounding of his own heart.His eyes twitched, and his mouth parted slightly, desperate to speak. But it was as if an invisible hand had wrapped around his throat, choking the words before they could form.Beads of sweat gathered on his skin in an instant, and he wiped them away with a shaky hand, his chest rising and falling in uneven rhythm as panic threatened to take over.“Are you okay?”Came Kirill’s muffled voice.“She died in her sleep,” Ryan resumed.“T… that is not possible. I…” he shook his head.Then, he heard the redial tone, which indicated that the call had ended.“Did something happen?” Kirill stood up and covered the space between them.“My mother…” he swallowed.“Mother? What’s wrong?”“She… she is dead,” he answered, his voice shaky.He had just seen her the previous night. And he had said horrible words to her.He was mean to her.He s

Mason froze for a second, his hand gripping the rail tightly as the words sank in. His jaw clenched, but he didn’t turn around.Lyra glanced at him, her lips parting. “Mason,” she whispered, her fingers brushing against his.“Let’s go,” she added, tightening her grip around his hand.While Lorenzo’s laughter encircled the room, Mason inhaled deeply, blinked a few times, and then continued upward, wordless but his heavy steps sounded louder than the ridiculous laughter his brother had on.They kept walking till they arrived at a door. His mother’s door and then turned the knob opened.They entered slowly, and he scoffed, gently telling go of Lyra’s hand.There was a coffin in the room and this really speaks a lot about how his people really didn’t care about his mother’s death.They were ready to bury her without announcing her death to her family or friends.Not like his mother had friends… or even any family.After marrying into the family, his mother literally severed ties with her

“Are you okay?” Lyra asked Mason for the umpteenth time as they stepped outside the gate.“Sure,” he forced a smile and then shook his head as he found his friend across his street, waving his hands at them.“He is still here,” Lyra smiled.“And Kiara!” She added in excitement as the front door opened and Kiara stepped out.“I had a guess she would be here,” Mason said as they crossed the street.“What happened? You took so long,” Kirill covered the space between them while Lyra rushed to hug Kiara who spread her arms wide.“Right?” Mason answered, resting by the car, while he looked back at the gate of the old mansion.“Did you see her off properly?”“I bet she is more mad at me now. We fought in the room while she was there instead,” he hissed, scratching his head.“What happened again? Meanwhile…“I am so proud of you!” Kiara groaned as she patted Lyra’s back.“You should’ve seen me there,” Lyra said, grinning proudly. “I stood tall. I didn’t flinch or cower—well… maybe just a li

“It’s not funny!” He breathed out, standing upright.“No, it is. You just hissed at me,” she wheeled.Mason looked away, jaw tightened. “You bring out the worst in me.”“Lucky me,” she said, wiping a tear from her eye. “You’re kind of adorable when you’re upset.”“Whoa, I never thought I would be hearing that from you,” he shook his head, taking a step closer to her again.At that moment, a knock came on the door and then Lyra spoke up, telling whoever it was to come in.It was the butler and a soft smile spread across her lips, “Mr. Jang.”“There is someone outside to see you,” he announced, sparing Mason a glance.“Me? Who?”“Kevin.”Mason swallowed in distaste as he heard and then shook his head.“No matter how much the security has forced him away, he keeps returning. He demanded to see you or he would go to the public with everything he has against you,” he said.“Kevin said that?” Lyra raised her brows, wondering what it was that the man could probably have against her.“Yes. Wh

Lyra shook her leg rather vigorously as she looked out of the window from her room and then turned to look at the clock again.It was almost ten. In the night, and Mason hadn’t gotten home yet.She hadn’t called him, and he hadn’t called either and she could not help but bite her finger, contemplating if she should take away her pride and call him.After a while of waiting by the window, Lyra settled in her bed, covered herself with the duvet, and then closed her eyes, hoping the night would go by fast and by the next morning, he would be at home already.Lyra didn’t know how long she had laid in the bed, and if she had even dozed off a little before she heard the movement in the hallway outside her room and she jumped out of the bed, breathing heavily.She pushed her door open, like she was going to knock it down, and then smiled unconsciously.“Mason!”The man stood by his door, opening the door. He turned to look at the woman who jumped out of her room in her flimsy, almost see-thr
