Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Forgotten Heiress: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

I stared through the car window at the mansion in front of me.Even from where I was parked, it looked like a really luxurious building.There were a lot of expensive cars lined up along the driveway one after another, while well-dressed guests stepped out laughing as members of the staff hurried over to collect their keys.Just like the El Camino mansion, Dexter’s personal home was also a beauty to behold.I shook my head.I wasn’t here to admire or compare the two mansions.Get your head together. This wasn’t just another party.This was the first time I was stepping into Dexter’s private world.The place where he let his guard down, and where he probably kept things nobody else ever got to see.Maybe…The answers Blake and I had been searching for were somewhere inside that house.My phone suddenly vibrated in my hand.Blake.I answered immediately.“Have you gone in yet?”I looked back at the mansion.“Not yet.”“You’ve been sitting in that car for almost five minutes.”I sighed.“

How could a person be so wicked and mean for no reason?I stared at Cassie, still in disbelief over her last words.Serve you right, bitch.Did she really have to go this far just to prove a point?All because she didn’t want me at this party…And because, for once, I had decided to speak up for myself.“Oh, you’re suddenly speechless?” Cassie smirked. “This is a warning. Never disobey me again.”I opened my mouth to speak, but before a word could leave my lips, Cassie’s entire expression changed.The satisfied smile disappeared so quickly that I almost questioned whether I’d imagined it.“Oh my God!”She grabbed my shoulders.“Mia, are you okay?”She sounded so concerned that anyone watching would believe she genuinely cared.“My goodness…”She looked at my dress her mouth wide open.“Look at what happened to you.”Cassie should have been an actress because her acting right now was flawless.If I hadn’t seen her pull back her leg with my own eyes, I probably would’ve believed her too.I l

I was too terrified to even move , My mind went completely blank.What was I supposed to do?Or say?How was I going to explain why I was standing inside his bedroom?This was some fucked-up situation.On the other hand, Dexter just stood there staring at me.Why did it have to be him?Well…I was in his bedroom. Of course, it had to be him.I noticed his eyes move from my face down to my dress.Awkwardly, I adjusted the part where my cleavage was showing.“What are you doing in my room?” Dexter finally spoke, his expression unreadable.I took an unconscious step backward.“I… I was looking for…” I cleared my throat, forcing myself to sound less guilty. “The guest bathroom.”“Does this look like a guest room?”He stepped inside and quietly shut the door behind him.“This is my bedroom.”I swallowed hard, wondering why he hadn’t simply yelled at me to get out instead of closing the door.I suddenly became painfully aware of where I was.I was alone with Dexter inside his bedroom should C

I walked behind Dexter as he made his way out of the garden. Where was he taking me? He hadn’t said a word about where we were going. He had simply told me to come with him. Finally, he stopped under a tree. It wasn’t too far from where the party was. Then he turned to face me. “What were you doing back there at the party?” “I don’t quite understand you, sir,” I replied, confused. He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, his eyes slowly swept over me. “You still insist nobody was paying attention to you?” I frowned.“I’m sorry?” “I’m not saying you should apologize.” He folded his arms. “My point is, this dress is attracting the wrong attention, Mia.” How was that his business? Just because I was his assistant didn’t mean he had the right to decide what I should wear. “I didn’t have another choice, sir.” “You don’t know how dangerous some of the men in there are, Mia.” His voice remained calm. “You might enjoy the attention you’re getting now, but most times they use girls

I waited for exactly one minute, just as Fox had instructed, before opening the door.I carefully checked the hallway to make sure no one was around.After confirming it was empty, I stepped out quietly, closed the door behind me, and used the key to lock it.I still didn’t understand why Fox had left the key with me. I rubbed my forehead as I hurried downstairs.My mind wouldn’t stop racing.Should I just text Blake and let him know what was going on?I shook my head immediately.If Blake found out, he’d go into full panic mode and rush down here without thinking.And if Fox really was dangerous I couldn’t drag Blake into this.No. I’d have to handle this myself.I pushed the mansion door open and hurried back toward the party.I didn’t want to waste any more time before Fox changed his mind.****I searched for Madison when I returned, but she was nowhere in sight.Maybe I should just leave.I’ll come up with something the next time I see her.Just as I turned around, I heard Madiso
