All Chapters of The Heiress Returns: Reclaiming My Legacy: Chapter 131 - Chapter 139

Chapter 131 Hannah's POV The car jolts again and my head smacks the window this time. The driver curses under his breath, his hands were tight on the wheel like he's trying to squeeze the steering column into submission. Outside, the city lights smear into one long nervous line. Inside, Jack's laugh is the only sound that feels wrong. “Relax,” he says, as if I’m the problem. “You’re making this dramatic.” I could taste metal, I had bit my lips when the car was bouncing frantically through this very disturbing road. The driver keeps glancing in the mirror. Every time his eyes meet mine I see guilt flicker but then he looks away as if someone taught him not to be seen. He’s younger than I expected. “Why are you doing this?” I ask finally, because a question is better than screaming. Jack’s expression folds into something like pity — the kind a man pretends when he believes he’s doing what’s right. “You humiliated me,” he says. “You made a scene back in that party.” His words a

Chapter 133 Piper’s POVThe night felt heavier than it should’ve — like the air itself had soaked up all the fear and grief that was swirling through the city. The moment Lucas hung up, I knew this wasn’t just another misunderstanding. Something was terribly wrong.I couldn’t stop pacing. The restaurant table still had our untouched drinks on it, Gavin’s coffee had gone cold, and mine tasted like panic.“We need to go,” Gavin said suddenly, grabbing his coat and tossing a few bills on the table. His voice was strained, tight. “We have to tell our parent right now.”I blinked, my throat tightening. “Gavin, do you really think…”“I know,” he cut me off, his tone hard but trembling underneath. “I know my sister. She wouldn’t just vanish. If Lucas heard that during the call, then she’s in danger.”That sent a chill down my spine. I nodded quickly, following him as we ran out into the parking lot.The drive to the Black mansion felt like forever, though Gavin’s hands were steering the whe

Chapter 135Hannah’s POVJack’s head snapped toward Lily, his voice cracking with confusion and fury. “What do you mean you brought her to this toxic place intentionally?” he demanded, coughing as he waved a hand in front of his face. The air was getting thicker, darker — even he was struggling to breathe now. “First of all, you didn’t even give me a nose mask, and second, we didn’t agree to hurt anyone!”Lily chuckled, low and chilling, the sound echoing off the metal walls. “Oh, Jack,” she said mockingly, “you really are as naïve as I thought. You should’ve read the fine print before playing with the big kids.”Jack’s jaw clenched, his hands balling into fists. “The agreement was that you’d help me reclaim Hannah — that she’d see me as hers again. That’s what you promised me!” His voice was trembling with both anger and fear now. “You said you just wanted to scare her.”“Oh, shut up, you crackhead!” Lily barked, laughing suddenly, loud and sharp like a witch’s cackle. The sound sent

Chapter 137 Hannah’s POVJack swore under his breath, the words low and sharp like broken glass. He jabbed an elbow toward Lily, then snapped his head in my direction, as if the buzzing in my pocket was a personal attack. “Shut it!” he barked. “Shut that damn thing off!”Panic clawed up my throat—I couldn’t move my arms. They were still tied behind me, wrists burning from the tight plastic cords. How was I supposed to shut anything off?Before I could even explain, Lily stormed over and yanked the phone from my coat pocket. Her eyes caught the screen—still lit and glowing like a spotlight in a dark theater.LUCAS BRISTO — ON CALL.For a breathless second, I thought she’d smash it. Her hand flexed, knuckles going white. But instead of hurling it, she just stared.The color drained from her face in an instant, as though someone had opened a trapdoor beneath her calm exterior. She turned sharply to Jack, her voice a hiss laced with panic. “You were on a call the entire time?” Her eyes
