All Chapters of STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Author’s POVElara sat curled at the edge of the sofa, her fingers loosely wrapped around a mug of tea that had long gone cold. Across from her, Stephanie flipped absentmindedly through a magazine, though her eyes had been fixed on the same page for several minutes.“I can’t lose Bianca… she’s my only child,” Elara finally said, her voice fragile as she lifted her gaze to meet Stephanie’s.Stephanie exhaled softly, setting the magazine aside. “Lucien has paid. Bianca will be fine soon,” she reassured, though her tone lacked its usual certainty.A pause followed before she added, almost under her breath, “It’s strange, isn’t it? How he managed to pay for her treatment so quickly… and when it was you, he practically left you to die.”Elara nodded faintly, her grip tightening slightly around the mug. “He’s changed… completely.” She paused, her voice quieter. “But I’m grateful he saved Bianca.”Before Stephanie could respond, a sharp knock shattered the fragile stillness as both of them fr

Liora’s POVI sat rigid in my chair, arms folded tight against my chest.Why would Mum do something like this?“Mummy! Mummy!” Aurora’s tiny voice shattered my spiraling thoughts as she came running toward me.“Rora.” I smiled, scooping her into my arms.“I want to go home,” she said, her little face firm.“Home?” I echoed, arching a brow as I tickled her.“Yes!” she giggled.“We’ll be going home soon,” I whispered against her ear, nuzzling her gently.“I want to see Daddy,” she added softly.Before I could respond, the door creaked open. Trisha stepped in… and behind her was the stranger.“Ma’am, Mrs. Evelyn has rescheduled the session till tomorrow. She said she couldn’t keep waiting any longer,” Trisha reported.My gaze lingered on the man behind her. He avoided eye contact.“What did I tell you a few hours ago?” I asked coldly, my jaw tightening as I met her gaze.She hesitated, glancing briefly at him before looking back at me. “I’m sorry, ma’am… but he can’t leave.”“Says who?”

Liora’s POVI swallowed hard as I turned back toward Aurora.Soon, we arrived home. Derek stepped out first, moving around the car to open the door.My legs trembled, though I forced them to stay steady as I stepped down and walked inside with Aurora in my arms.My eyes swept across the living room, searching instinctively.So… what exactly is this surprise?Derek entered behind me.“I need to lay her down,” he said, already walking toward me and extending his arms for Aurora.I hesitated for a second before handing her over. He cradled her effortlessly and carried her in without another word.I lowered myself onto the sofa, my thoughts unsettled.Minutes later, Derek returned and took a seat opposite me, his gaze lingered.“So what’s the surprise?” I asked again, my voice softer this time.“I’m certain you won’t believe it,” he replied.He slid his hand into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and tapped the screen before extending it toward me.“Take a look.”A strange unease coiled i

Author’s POVLucien sat motionless on the worn-out sofa in the center of the living room, his eyes fixed blankly on the wall, lost in thought.Footsteps echoed sharply as Stephanie walked in, wearing a wine-colored dress, a handbag loosely swinging from her shoulder. Her gaze landed on Lucien immediately, laced with contempt.“Stupid fool,” she muttered as she passed. “You should be grateful to Bianca. Without her, you wouldn’t be here, you’d be rotting on the streets where you belong.”Lucien didn’t respond, not even a blink.Stephanie paused briefly, glancing at him again with thinly veiled disgust. “Worthless,” she added under her breath before continuing.At that moment, Elara emerged from the hallway.She was dressed in a fitted red gown, black heels clicking against the floor. A sleek black purse rested in her hand, and her hair was styled.Her eyes moved between them.“Are you going out?” Elara asked, surprise threading her voice.“Yes,” Stephanie replied flatly. “I have someon

Liora’s POVI sat behind my desk, fingers interlocked and my gaze fixed on nothing in particular.How do I face them tomorrow… if everything unravels?“This marriage can still serve a purpose,” I murmured, nodding as though convincing myself. I had been trained for situations like this, I just needed to stay ahead.Just then, my phone rang as I glanced at the screen: Ava.My brows drew together slightly. What now?I answered. “Hello, Ava…”“Ma’am, Lucien and his friend just left,” she said, her voice low but steady.My posture stiffened instantly. “What did they do? They didn’t hurt you, did they?” I asked, concern sharpening my tone.“No, ma’am. It’s about you… and the heiress.”My stomach twitched. “What about us?”“They asked about your name… and the heiress,” Ava said quietly.My eyes widened.Damn it… I didn’t even think of that, and Derek must not find out… he absolutely cannot.“And?” I asked, my voice controlled, though my pulse had quickened.“I told them the heiress chose y
