All Chapters of THE HEIRESS HE ALMOST LOST: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

UNFAITHFULMy heart sank right into my stomach when I heard that Ryan went on a date with Sylvia, his boss's daughter, the same girl he told me not to worry about. Ryan's secretary, Edna, who was also my childhood friend, gave me the information.Apparently, she was the one who made the reservations and felt it wasn’t fair to keep it from me. “Please don’t let him know I told you,” she said. “But I think it’s only fair that you know.”I was skeptical, yet curious. Edna had hinted about Ryan and Sylvia before, but I never took her serious. I trusted Ryan. Or maybe I wanted to. This time, something pushed me to verify her information, just once. I took an excuse from the hotel management where I worked and drove my old 80’s model Honda Civic to the location she mentioned. Deep down, I prayed it wasn’t true. I had already pictured the perfect vacation Ryan and I were going to have. We had been saving up for it, mostly me. If he was truly out with Sylvia, then our relationship was abo

BETRAYAL I woke to the treacherous sound of my morning alarm. I never intended to sleep till dawn, I thought Ryan would come home and wake me to his sensational touch but I was wrong. I checked my phone for a call or text message but I didn’t receive any. I tried calling him. Straight to voicemail, every time. “You didn’t come home last night?” I texted him Maybe he had a good excuse, I told myself as I dragged myself through my morning routine. As hurt as I felt, I didn’t want to ruin whatever moments Ryan and I might still have. The way he treated me the previous night, so gentle, so calm, gave me butterflies. He had never been that soft with me before, especially during an argument.I caught myself smiling as I put on my makeup, imagining how different things could’ve been if his phone hadn’t rung. I even thought about making him dinner tonight, something intimate, something to set the mood.Suddenly, my phone buzzed.Edna!.I’d promised myself I wouldn’t let her get between me

AWAKENING I woke up in an all-white room, my head ached as I struggled to remember what happened. I looked around wondering where I was. The walls were spotless, the bed was sparkling. The air humidified and purified, a cool breeze blew from a corner and spread across the whole room. This must be heaven I thought.You are awake Miss Summer” A stunning looking lady dressed in white approached me, her voice was soothing. She must be an angel I thought to myself as I stared at her in admiration, my eyes rolling with her movement. That is when I noticed; the machines beeping steadily beside me, the syringe inserted into my arm and the stethoscope around her neck.It all made sense now, I was in the hospital and the lady I thought was an angel is a doctor. but I was still clueless as to how I got here. I watched the doctor pressed a stethoscope to my chest, listening with rapt attention.“You’re doing really well,” she said, flashing a smile. “Honestly, it’s a miracle.”Pain flared up wh

She must not die Pain was the first thing I felt when I opened my eyes.My head was resting against the airbag of my Ferrari which had already deflated. Smoke floated lightly inside the car, carrying the sharp smell of burnt rubber and chemicals.For a few seconds, I couldn’t move. My ears were ringing, and my vision was blurry.Then I heard voices.“Sir! Sir!”The car door opened suddenly, and hands grabbed me carefully.“My God… Are you okay, sir?” several voices asked at once.My escort team.They must have caught up with me and saw I was involved in an accident.They pulled me out of the car slowly, checking my body for injuries.I didn’t say a word instead I scanned the road carefully searching for something.Then when I saw it.The other car lying at the other end.It was badly damaged, worse than mine. The front was crushed like paper, and smoke was coming from the engine.I felt pissed immediately.“Which idiot drives like that?” I said irritated. I lifted my hand and signa

Stepping on a demons toeStephen’s POV“Fuck!”The curse slipped out under my breath as I stared at the police checkpoint ahead.BANG! The trunk shook again.Cole shut his eyes for a second like he was already regretting every decision that had led us here.“Sir…” he said carefully.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel, my eyes fixed on the flashing lights ahead of us. With a careful look, I scanned the arena: Two police cars, four officers, a barricade across the road and a man tied up in my trunk.‘Perfect!’BANG!The trunk slammed again from the inside dragging me back to reality. I glanced at the rearview mirror, then at the open stretch of road to the left.My foot slowly pressed harder on the accelerator.Cole noticed immediately.His head snapped toward me.“Sir—no… no.”I said nothing.My eyes fixed on the road.The engine gave a low growl beneath us.“Sir,” Cole pleaded, his tone was urgent, “don’t even think about it, please”I looked at him coldly. “Think about what?
