All Chapters of Bound By Secret Heirs: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

ElinaThere are moments when I feel that Raven is very familiar to me. Honestly, because he has the same amber eyes as Lucius, I often find myself comparing the two of them.Their voices are different, even though both are deep. And someone like Lucius—a sole heir—would never put himself in danger like this.I tried to think logically. He is an only child.But this time, when Raven called my first name, I truly felt that he resembled Lucius. So now, I stared at him without blinking.“He does like to cause trouble. Isn’t it annoying, Miss Everhart?”I blinked and lowered my gaze. It seemed that because I was too tired and thinking about too many things, my mind was becoming overwhelmed—making something different feel the same.I know that maybe the heat from the sun made my head feel a little hot, and it could even make me hallucinate a bit.I quietly let out a breath.“Miss Everhart, are you alright?”I was startled by the touch of his hand on my arm. Raven seemed to really like physi

ElinaI felt like I was hearing his words over and over in my head. It really felt like I was teasing him.I almost wanted to invite him to spend the night with me…Looking into his eyes, which showed no sign of hesitation as he said that, made me nervous instead. Raven might even take it seriously.If Raven had the courage, then he and I would be together all night.Anxious, I couldn’t breathe, and my strong heartbeat slowed as if signaling that it was about to reach its peak.I regretted my earlier boldness—I shouldn’t have said it, and I wanted to disappear from his presence immediately.But I didn’t have the strength to do so. I froze, embarrassment burning all over me. I felt like vanishing from the world for a moment.Raven tilted his head slightly, and I panicked. I thought I would push his head away right then and there.CRASH!The sound of shattering startled me, but it also managed to immediately shift the situation I was in.“Ah, you weren’t careful.”“Just broke a plate. A

ElinaWhen I heard that kind of question from him, I truly didn’t expect Lucius to ask it.I mean, he had met Jonathan several times. From any angle, he should have known that man had nothing to be proud of.Didn’t he seem so cruel and terrible?Going back to him would only make me even more foolish.My hands clenched into fists as memories of everything Jonathan had done flooded my mind.Even when our child was gone, all he did was blame everything on me.My fists tightened, and my voice grew heavier as I spoke.“Go back to him?”It felt like fire was burning in my chest.“No way.”Lucius didn’t seem to question what I had just said to him. I didn’t know why he doubted the words coming out of my mouth.“You might just be angry, so you won’t admit it.”All this time, I thought he was a great man who relied on logic. But his words now made it seem as if he was asking me to go back to him.At that moment, I started to think that maybe I had made a mistake toward him. Maybe I had only ca

Elina“Miss Elina, you finally came.”I had just arrived, and she was already standing in front of me, offering a bouquet of roses.Even though I had only informed her this morning that I would be coming, since I happened to already be in the city.Seeing the bouquet, I smiled.“Thank you, Amara.”She smiled, then guided me toward the VIP seating area. I was sure Amara would inform my parents that I was here.Amara isn’t my friend—she’s one of the children sponsored by my parents. When I disappeared, my mother fell into depression to the point where she could barely function.What she did to comfort herself was meet children and support them financially. Amara is one of them.The room was already arranged beautifully, with clustered seating that kept impressing me. I couldn’t wait to see the designs Amara would present today.I took a photo of the bouquet she had given me earlier, then set it aside as the haute couture show began.I recognized some of the people here—I mean, I knew ab

JonathanI truly didn’t expect to run into Elina in this place. My eyes had been on her the whole time—I kept waiting for the right moment to talk to her, to pull her to me and not let her go.From a distance, I saw that she was alone. That annoying man was no longer by her side. Maybe, in the end, she had grown tired and realized she couldn’t keep pretending that she didn’t care about me at all.She must have stopped hiring that man.And when the right moment came, I immediately followed her. I stopped her in front of the restroom.Whatever happened in the past, I was willing to forget it, and I hoped Elina would understand that. But she rejected me again and again.She hit me with a bouquet of flowers, and it truly wore down my patience. Did she really want me to lose my temper?At that moment, Elina managed to get away from me because I didn’t want to make people think even worse of me. Things had already been difficult lately—business partnerships being cut off and other failures.
