All Chapters of The Heiress Returns: Reclaiming My Legacy: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Chapter 101Piper’s POVDamon and I had been outside for what felt like forever. Two whole hours of mindless chatter, half laughter, half awkward pauses, and a ton of random oversharing I never thought I’d say out loud.The first hour, we sat by the staircase like two homeless philosophers solving the world’s problems with absolutely no plan to move. Every time someone walked past, I wondered if they thought we’d been kicked out by our partners or evicted for unpaid rent.Eventually, my butt started aching. “Okay,” I said, rubbing my lower back dramatically. “If I sit here another second, my spine’s going to disown me.”Damon laughed softly. “Let’s stay in the car, the seats there are more comfortable”“Oh sure,” I said, pretending to think about it. “Let’s sit in your boss’s car and gossip about his sex life.”Oops, that came out weird, sex life? Jeez! But we are not gullible, Lucas and Hannah are definitely having sex in there.He smirked. “Who said we’re gossiping?”I narrowed my e

Chapter 103 Hannah’s POVThe ride back home with Gavin was suffocatingly quiet at first. My fingers kept brushing against the hem of my dress, restless. The city lights flickered through the tinted windows, washing his face in a rhythm of gold and shadow.Gavin gripped the steering wheel like it had offended him. I could tell he was thinking and pondering over what Lucas had said. Then, out of nowhere, his voice cut through the silence. “You want to marry Lucas?” I froze, my heart thudding so loud it felt like he could hear it. His tone wasn’t angry, more like disbelief laced with warning.I turned to look at him, but he kept his eyes fixed on the road. His expression was unreadable, a mask of calm that didn’t fool me.“Uhmm…” I swallowed, “I don’t really know yet.” He finally looked at me, just briefly, and the weight in his eyes made me squirm. “Do you have any reason why I shouldn’t?” I asked, my voice softer than I meant it to be. Gavin sighed, that deep exhale that always c

Chapter 105**Lucas’ POV**Damon drove me home that evening, the engine humming quietly as the sun slipped beneath the horizon. The entire ride was filled with that heavy silence that comes after too much has happened in too little time. I leaned back in the seat, staring out the window as the Bristo estate came into view. My head was still full of Hannah — her laugh, her stubborn eyes, her softness — and the chaos that seemed to follow her like a shadow.Beside me, Damon kept his usual poker face, both hands on the wheel, pretending not to notice my small smile. But I knew he noticed. Damon noticed everything.When we finally pulled into the driveway, the mansion lights glowed like a palace. The moment we stepped out, a familiar voice cut through the evening air.“There you are!”Eleanor stood by the entrance, arms crossed, an accusing look in her eyes. Her hair was loose and slightly messy, like she’d been pacing around the house all day waiting for something to happen — or someone

Chapter 107**Lily’s POV**I couldn’t bear the thought of Lucas not marrying me.Not after everything I’d done, everything I’d risked, everything I’d lost.No, this wasn’t over… not until it was over.If Hannah thought she could snatch everything I’d worked for with her pretty little pity act, she was dead wrong.I had one last card to play. I had met with someone who has taught me how to win.Mr. Gabriel — my real father — was right when he said, “You can’t win by crying, Lily. You win by playing smarter.”And I must admit, the man is brilliant. Ruthless and calculated. I clearly took after him.He’d given me a plan — one that could change everything, if executed right, I had been grounded from leaving the house as punishment for what I did to Hannah and Lucas, so I had to sneak out of the house under cover so I could carry out this mission.All I had to do was get close to Lucas and get him to listen while I make him see Hannah’s ugly self.So here I was, standing in the middle of B

Chapter 109**Lucas’ POV**“Yeah… I’ll pick you up by six. No, scratch that, make it seven. That way you’ll have enough time to finish your classes.”Hannah laughed on the other end of the line, that soft, bubbling laugh that always managed to ease something tight in my chest.“Lucas,” she said, “you sound like you’ve already planned my entire evening.”“Maybe I have,” I teased, grinning as I pushed open the door leading to the garage. “And maybe I can’t help it if I just happen to enjoy hearing your voice a little too much.”“Oh, really?” she replied, her tone playful. “You sure that’s not just part of your charm offensive?”“Charm?” I scoffed, glancing over my shoulder as Damon followed behind me, his tablet in one hand, his expression as stoic as ever. “Please, I don’t need charm. I’m already irresistible.”She laughed again, this time louder. “Oh, Lucas Bristo, you’re full of yourself.”“And yet you still can’t hang up,” I said, smirking as I reached the cars.“Because you called
