All Chapters of The Hidden Heiress: A Sweet Taste of Revenge: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Once again, Serena lifted her gaze, meeting William’s eyes as he continued to watch her intently from a dangerously close distance. She closed her eyes for a moment, feeling the brush of his warm breath against her face. At times, their foreheads touched, especially when she felt the gentle stroke of his fingers against her hand.This was no longer about desire. Serena knew that clearly. William’s question wasn’t leading merely to an intimate union, but to a complete shift in the direction and purpose of the life she had already chosen."We can’t keep lying to ourselves, Serena," William murmured again, his voice low and coaxing. His gray eyes softened as he studied the doubt etched across her face before he leaned in once more and kissed her lips.Serena tried to push him away when his kiss grew more demanding. Her mind screamed that this was wrong, that it should never be happening. But her body betrayed her. A soft, unintended gasp escaped her lips just as his tongue grew bolder, t

Caelric’s desperate plea made Martin lower his head once more, his hand gently brushing the boy’s hair. He released a quiet breath, barely noticeable. One of his hands clenched tightly, as if holding back a storm raging in his chest."Graddy," Caelric whimpered again, his round eyes blinking slowly. "You can help find Mommy, right? Caelen, Caelia, and I... we’re really worried about her, Graddy."Martin didn’t answer right away. Instead, he shot a brief glance at his most trusted man, a silent signal passing between them. Moments later, the man stepped aside, already trying to reach someone on his phone.Caelric lifted his gaze back to his grandfather, only to be distracted by Caelen’s excited voice calling out from a distance."I found Mommy, Graddy!" Caelen announced proudly, instantly drawing Martin’s and Caelric’s attention."What do you mean?" Martin asked, his brown eyes sharp and assessing."I saw Uncle do it once, tracking someone through their phone. I tried it myself... and

Crash!Elsewhere, a woman sat in utter chaos, shards of broken glass scattered before her. Her eyes were swollen, her makeup smeared, and her hair hung in a wild mess. Every breath she took was heavy, especially as her hands clenched tightly into fists."Damn it! This is all because of that woman!" Cassandra screamed, snatching the nearest object and hurling it at the wall.Her room descended further into ruin. The photographs of her with William only twisted the knife deeper, especially when she remembered how easily he had ended their relationship, and how confidently he had stood before the cameras beside Serena."It’s because of that ghost of a woman!" Cassandra snarled, her fists shaking."William used to come to me no matter what whenever I threatened him! He was always afraid I’d do something reckless! He...he never wanted to see me broken or hurt!"She grabbed another object and threw it with all her strength before collapsing onto the floor. Tears streamed freely as memories

"Your wife?"Martin, who had refused to respond earlier, finally turned back to face William. Though he leaned on a cane for support, there was not the slightest hint of frailty in his body. His posture remained firm, his steps steady. His eyes were sharp, piercing, and the killing aura around him was so dense it felt suffocating."Say that again."William smirked as he stepped closer."My wife," he said firmly, without fear. "You used her. You twisted her into something almost as monstrous as you are!"Martin’s hands clenched into tight fists. His stare hardened, his jaw locking in place. His men sensed his rage, and instinctively prepared to strike. But none of them moved. Martin gave no signal."I don’t know what you did to make her your daughter," William continued mockingly, "but I’m not fooled. You might deceive her. She’s too innocent, but not me!""You..."In a single violent motion, Martin grabbed William by the collar. His cane clattered to the ground. Despite having three g

Right after those words were spoken, Serena’s kidnapper was met with a nasty shock as several baby rats dropped right into his lap. He let out a startled shriek, especially when he heard the sound of a child’s mocking laughter following closely behind."Here’s a gift for you, Mister! Consider it a thank you for giving our mommy a ride!" Caelric shouted, hurling a few more small rats from his pouch.Serena had no idea where the rats came from, but she felt a surge of pride and awe for her children. She never expected the triplets to track her location, let alone attempt a rescue mission."You’ve troubled my children enough! Now pay the price!"Serena quickly slammed her head against the kidnapper beside her. She didn't stop there. Once she managed to loosen her restraints, she elbowed the other kidnapper and shoved the driver.With one precise move, Serena seized the steering wheel, veering the car back into the forest. The thug behind the wheel panicked as a massive tree loomed ahead.
