Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Heiress Who Wouldn't Be Silenced : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

The hall buzzed with chatting, plates clicking as people devoured delicacies and soft music played beneath. Sophia Sterling in her green knee-length gown that spoke volumes of wealth sat across from her three big brothers, chatting happily. Suddenly, a commotion broke out from outside the hall, the voice of a security guard trying to stop someone from entering, filled the air. “Ryan, I thought you gave instructions to the guards. They're about to spoil my birthday,” Sophia's voice cracked with emotions. Ryan, the eldest son of the Sterling household, who could do anything to make his sister happy, rose angrily and dashed out.“That's my brother, allow me in!” A tiny voice screamed, struggling to free herself from the grip of the two security guards. The voice sounded familiar. Ryan moved forward, his presence commanding respect and at once, the security guards released the girl and stood still. The young lady hung her head low, her fingers fidgeting. No words, Ryan simply gr

The next voice that jerked Audrey out of her shocked reverie was that of strangers.Her eyes met Lucas’ gaze- a handsome, well-built young man in a perfectly ironed tailored suit and a neatly groomed beard, which added to his sharp look. Sophia's gaze lingered on him, ‘oh mine,’ she was lost in admiration until Ryan tapped her, snapping her back to reality. “Please have your seats,” Mr. Sterling gestured to the available sofa. Lucas sat down with his parents by his side. Mrs. Evangeline signaled Audrey with a stern look. With no time to think, Audrey hesitantly put on her heels and walked slowly back to their midst. “Good afternoon,” Audrey murmured, sliding into a seat beside her mother. “Lucas, I guess you should have a talk with your wife-to-be, Audrey Sterling.” Mr. Sterling’s lips curled up into a warm smile as he gently pulled Audrey to her feet. Audrey's stomach tightened as her father's word sank in. She felt Lucas' heavy gaze on her, making her palms sweat. Sophia's

Just when the MC was about to wrap up the Valentine's party program, a whisper rippled through the crowd that Thomas Whiteson had arrived. He knew he couldn't conclude the program without acknowledging Thomas Whiteson. This wasn't the first time he'd handled the High-End's party, so he knew Thomas would come in late, with a reluctant smile on his face.The MC cleared his throat, “An important person is in our midst. Can we all welcome Mr. Thomas Whiteson as he enters with his fiancee.” Noises erupted in the auditorium. Cameras started flashing as Thomas walked hand in hand with Audrey. She dazzled in her white knee-length gown, the diamond on her neck screamed money. Sophia almost pushed Lucas out of her way as she sighted Audrey. The poor Audrey, Thomas Whiteson's fiancee? The same Thomas who was portrayed to detest women?Mr. Leo Whiteson beamed from his chair, a pleased smile spreading across his face as he saw his heir finally with a woman. “My dad seems to like you,” Thomas w

Mr. Justin Erickson's laughter was a low, dangerous one. “My son is in love with the fake heiress?” His tone dripped with anger. Lucas’ feet trembled, his hands clasped behind him. “But Dad, Sophia is much loved by the Sterlings than Audrey…….”“You're such a fool,” Mr. Justin barked at him, his face darkening. He slammed his fist on the table, making Lucas flinch. “Who is the Heiress between the two?” Lucas hesitated, taking a step back. “Audrey Sterling,” his voice was barely above a whisper. “Son, we need Audrey,” he growled. “Her 40% share in her grandfather's company is our only ticket to crushing the Whitesons.” Lucas let out a slow breath before replying to his father, “But Dad, Thomas Whiteson has Audrey already.” Mr. Justin’s eyes snapped wide, “What do you mean?”“He paid the Sterling Brothers the 20 million dollars. He's marrying Audrey,” Lucas explained, his words heightening his father's panic. Mr. Justin's pulse raced. He hadn't anticipated that. The $20 million

Thomas paced back and forth in the hospital hallway, his anger was palpable. He had already made a call to the police station and they were on their way to arrest Sophia. He lingered in the hallway, not wanting to return to Audrey's room. The sight of her bruises and broken arm only increased his rage. His phone buzzed, breaking through his thoughts. A text message from an unknown number flashed on the screen. The message read - “Thomas Whiteson, you held one of our sisters in your house without the family approval. Now you sent the police to arrest our second sister with false allegations. You're a public figure and your father would be disappointed if you tarnished the name. This isn't an empty threat: release Sophia or you face the media scrutiny for kidnapping Audrey.” Thomas let out a cold laugh. The threats were just mere words...he wasn't moved. But Audrey...he doubted if she would be pleased with him if she heard. He exhaled, his fingers running through his hair. ‘Damn i
