Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Forgotten Heiress: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

By the time we arrived at the cottage, the sky had already grown dark.We got out of the car together and walked toward the door.Blake and Fox waited behind me while I unlocked the front door.I pushed it open and walked inside, taking a deep breath. The house was just as I had left it that morning. With June and July in college, the little chaos here and there had stopped, and a small part of me missed it.I collapsed onto the couch, leaning my head back.“It feels good to be home.”My voice sounded as tired as I felt.Blake locked the front door before dropping his keys onto the table, while Fox walked straight to the couch and sat down heavily.I couldn’t help noticing how exhausted he looked. Not just physically but also emotionally.It was best not to pester him with questions and just let him be until he was comfortable enough to let it all out.Blake disappeared into the kitchen. A minute later, he returned carrying three bottles of cold water.He handed one to each of us befo

Anthena povThe first thing I reached for as my eyes opened was my medication.I had barely sat up on the bed when I stretched my hand toward the small bedside table where I always kept the bottle.I rubbed my sleepy eyes and picked it up.Something felt off. It was too light I frowned and gave it a little shake.It made no sound. A strange feeling settled in my chest.“No…”I quickly unscrewed the cap and turned the bottle upside down over my palm.Nothing came out. I tilted it again Still nothing.“Shit.”I stared into the empty bottle before letting out a long sigh.I had completely forgotten.For the past few days, I’d kept postponing my hospital visit because of work.Every evening, I told myself I would go the next day, but something always came up.l Now I had no medication left.I closed the bottle slowly and placed it back on the table.Great.Just great.I rolled my eyes before glancing at the wall clock hanging across the room. There wasn’t enough time to stop at the hospital

By the time I finished the last report on my desk, my eyes were already beginning to sting.I leaned back in my chair and stretched my aching shoulders before glancing at the clock hanging on the wall.11:08 a.m.Still too early. I sighed quietly and reached for another file.If I was going to disappear during lunch without anyone noticing, I had to make sure every single task Dexter could possibly throw at me was already done.That way, even if he called for me while I was gone, there would be nothing urgent waiting on my desk.I picked up the schedule for tomorrow’s Seattle trip and went through it again.I had already booked hotel reservations as Dexter instructed me to and made reservations at every other place he listed to me.Everything had already been printed and arranged neatly inside a folder.Then I checked today’s appointments to ensure I didn't make any mistakes,I even called two departments just to confirm they had received the files Dexter requested earlier that morning.

Holdind the drugs in my hands right now finally made me feel like I could breathe properly again.One problem solved .I checked the time on my phone.Twelve forty-three.My stomach dropped.I had already spent longer than I planned.“Great,” I muttered under my breath as I hurried down the hallway.The sooner I got back to the office, the better.The hospital was as busy as ever.Nurses hurried from one ward to another.Patients filled almost every waiting chair.The smell of antiseptic almost brought back memories I had spent years trying to bury again.I lowered my head and walked faster.The less time I spent here, the better.I had almost reached the exit when someone called out behind me.“Miss Roberts.”I stopped walking.Slowly, I turned around.It was one of the nurses from the reception desk.She hurried toward me with a file in her hand.“You forgot this.”She handed me the appointment card Dr. Henry had prepared for my next checkup.“Oh.”I smiled awkwardly.“Thank you.”“Please do

My alarm rang loudly beside me long before sunrise but there was no need for that because I was already awake. I had spent most of the night tossing from one side of the bed to the other, staring at the ceiling instead of sleeping. Every time I closed my eyes, all I could think about was Seattle. The business trip and spending days with Dexter. I'll be pretending to be Mia Roberts twenty-four hours a day. I reached for my phone on the bedside table. 4:37 a.m. I groaned softly before sitting up“It's time” I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stretched before walking toward the travel bag sitting neatly beside my dresser. Even though I had packed everything last night, I still unzipped it. Just to be sure I didn't forget anything after cross-checking, I smiled doesn't look like I missed anything. Then I opened the small side pocket. My fingers immediately found the bottle of medication. I didn't pack it till Fox and Dexter left because I knew they would want to know wh
