Todos los capítulos de Lies From Her Heart: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 9

Hearing Heidi Limebear's voice again, I realized that I had been reborn. She was my younger sister.Looking at her wide, innocent eyes, it was almost impossible to believe that she had once tried to kill me.At that moment, her inner voice drifted into my mind: "At the riverside, I saw the other kids learning to swim… I wish Daniella could teach me…"Those were the same words I'd heard in my past life. A knot of unease formed in my stomach.Remembering how I had nearly drowned back then, I decided to pretend that I hadn't heard her at all.When I didn't react, a shadow of confusion passed over Heidi's eyes.She blinked in thought and looked at me shyly. "It's so hot, Daniella. Can you take me to play in the water? I really want to learn to swim," she said sweetly.I was momentarily taken aback. "Why don't you just turn on the air conditioner? It's dangerous to go in the water at this time of year. Accidents can happen easily."Heidi's eyes betrayed her disappointment, but she k

A few days later, I heard Heidi's "inner voice" again. The timing didn't surprise me in the least."What should I do? Those thugs told me to meet them behind the school tomorrow. If I don't, they'll burn down the garage…"Only Daniella can save me. No, I can't possibly trouble her again!"In that instant, Heidi looked at me, her eyes brimming with pity and desperation.In my past life, I had trusted her inner voice. I had gone all the way to the mountain behind the school, only to realize too late that it had led me into a trap.This time, I had no intention of responding. I pretended as though I hadn't heard a single word.Noticing my silence, Heidi quickly adopted a wounded expression. "What should I do? They'll beat me to death tomorrow…" she whispered, her voice choked with tears.I kept my gaze fixed on my phone, pretending to ignore her. But just as I was about to return to my room, she suddenly grabbed the hem of my shirt.Feigning surprise, I asked, "What's wrong, Heidi

The thought sent a chill down my spine. No matter what the truth turned out to be, Heidi was undoubtedly more complicated than she appeared. Throughout the years she spent away from home, she must have gone through countless experiences that shaped who she had become.Realizing I hadn't responded, the police officer on the line reassured me, "Don't worry, Ms. Limebear. I'll keep investigating this matter. If any new information comes to light, I'll contact you immediately.""Thanks," I said quietly before ending the call. I began mentally sorting through the long list of enemies my family had accumulated over the years.Given how long we'd been in business, it wouldn't be shocking if we'd pissed off quite a few people in Jansenburg. Even so, only a few had the power to pull strings with the police.It didn't take long for me to settle on one suspect—the Pruett family. I typed out my suspicions in a message and sent it to the police officer I had spoken with earlier."Noted," cam

As I saw Caleb's message, a surge of excitement ran through me. "Tell me everything," I quickly responded.The typing notification blinked on the screen. After a few moments, his reply came through. "The Pruett family has an illegitimate son who has been living away from them. After being brought back, he swiftly acquired 45% of Pruett Group's shares.""He's currently the largest shareholder of the company. If he gains support from another 10% of the shareholders, he'll have full control of the family's business. It's safe to assume that the male voice you overheard belonged to Frank Pruett."Everything suddenly made sense. Heidi's ambition to become the heiress was driven by her desire to marry Frank.Once Frank was tied to my family, he'd have no trouble securing the support of more shareholders.Still, I couldn't help but wonder why Frank would pick Heidi over anyone else.It was clear that there was more to their relationship than either of them was willing to admit.Frank w

After a moment's silence, "Heidi" let out a derisive scoff. "What's the fuss? Do you actually think you can lay a hand on me? I have powerful people—"Before she could finish speaking, someone suddenly lunged forward. It was Frank. Without a shred of hesitation, he struck her hard across the face. "You bitch! How dare you harm my sister-in-law!"A cold chuckle escaped me. "There's no point pretending anymore."Did you honestly think that staying in the shadows would keep you safe?"Don't forget—you had a hand in Heidi's death as well."My words drew Frank's attention, and he turned to look at me. His throat bobbed nervously as he asked, "Daniella, what exactly do you mean by that?"My anger surged as I stared at the two of them. "After all these years on the run, did you really think your past would remain hidden?"Frank had always been ruthless. Many of the businesses he seized from the Pruett family were connected to criminal operations. He was anything but honorable.It hadn
