All Chapters of Rise Of The Hidden Heiress: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Okay, this is getting weird. “My fiancée?” I ask her.“Yes.”“I could have sworn you had no idea I was engaged. I just told you I’m married.”“Look,” she starts, “I’ve told your men, I don’t want to be a part of this. It was just one job, deliver a couple of high-censored gears, get paid, and that was all. Quick, fast money. But when they saw the gears, they decided that they wanted to own the source, and I wasn’t having it. It turned chaotic, and now, I’m trying to do their dirty bidding, hoping they let me go with my troubles once I give them the needed updates.”‘They decided they wanted to own the source.’That statement could mean a lot of things. They are probably threatening her with her loved one.“They have your family?” I ask her.She shrugs, “kinda.”“So, they promised to let your family go if you do this job for them?”“That’s what they said. I’ll be a fool if I tell you I believe them. But I have to do what they ask so I can keep my brother alive and buy time.”“You have

The elevator doors open on the sixteenth floor, and more people exit.Clearing my throat, I look around. There are only five people left with us, and I pray fervently that we get to our destination as soon as possible."Only two floors to go," I whisper to myself reassuringly.The door opens again, and the last ones step out.One more floor to go, and I can strut out of here, leaving him and his lethal wood behind, I think.As soon as the doors close and the elevator begins to move, I hear a growl from behind me and catch a quick, sudden movement as Julian slams his hand against the stop button on the control panel.He pulls out a mini sticker from the file with him and places it on the elevator camera. His eyes turn on me, and they are deeper green than I have ever seen them."Why were you smiling with Pius and my father? He asks me.What sort of stupid question is this?“Why do you ask? You want to go after them or sack them like you sacked Pete?” I snap at him. “Too bad you can't d

My father knows as well as anyone else that I always show up to any event early, while Pius, on the other hand, would be late to his own funeral.I’m not the one to be late to anything, but with all the work Agnes left behind, I have no idea how I am going to get out of the office on time.I need to put her out of my mind anyway I can. But as hard as I try, I cannot focus on a damn thing all day.Even after my lunchtime ritual, I still cannot get my mind past the morning's events. And by three in the afternoon, I am a wreck and know I just have to get out of the office.I quickly reach the elevator and groan slightly, opting for the stairs instead. The elevator will definitely worsen my condition with thoughts of the absurd chemistry between us this morning.Pulling up to my family home later that evening, I immediately feel some of my tension slip away.Walking into the kitchen, I am accosted by the smell of lovely and tasty meals being prepared by the chefs, and the happy chatter an

~Besha~I watch my mother’s hand move across the parchment spread between us.“Everything that will be used for the children’s play park will be of great quality,” My Mom continues speaking, as she points to some of the accessories she plans to use in the construction of Frostland children’s Megapark, a project she has devoted so much time to over the past couple of months.“For the central structure.” She taps the parchment with the tip of her pen. “I want it to be a make-believe mountain they can climb inside. It will be the heart of the park, Besha. What do you think?”I take a moment to study her design. It’s massive, and it will be very expensive to achieve, too. But the Pack members deserve it.“You said you’ll keep it free for the first month,” I ask.“Yes, but after that, a nominal entrance fee will be attached to it. Nothing too much, just a few cents. Enough to pay the park keepers, the engineers, and the cleaning staff.”“It sounds good to me. But these structures will need

Our Mother’s shoe flies across the room and hits Collins square in the chest.The absurdity of the Luna throwing her shoe at her own son would have been a funny sight if the room weren’t already suffocating with grief.“Are you stupid?” My mother’s voice sounds. “Why would you say that about Julie?”Collins screams back at her. “Why would you throw a shoe at me?!” He kicks at the fallen shoe, sending it skidding across the floor.“Were we not all just here? Did we not hear him say his wife is going to die? I am asking a simple question! He wants to take her to an island to die. So does that mean he is giving up being Alpha?”Edmenan smiles and waves his hands to dismiss the brewing conflict. “Colly’s question is okay,” he says in a tired but calm voice. “It’s fine.”He looks down at his hands and shakes his head, “I have no plan of becoming Alpha again,” he says quietly. “Not after Julie passes. I won’t be able to take on the role.”“Edmenan, don’t say that,” I tell him. “You are dest
