All Chapters of The Cat God and the True Heiress: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The doors to the VIP delivery suite burst open as I slammed into them.I landed on all fours without missing a beat, a low rumble vibrating in my throat as my sharp gaze swept across the room.Propped weakly against the hospital bed was Victoria Sterling, eldest daughter of the Sterling family—the girl I'd protected for the past twelve years.Her face was pale, her forehead clammy with sweat as she struggled to catch her breath.Standing beside her was her husband, Ethan Caldwell, cradling a baby girl in his arms."You did great, sweetheart. Look at our daughter. She has your eyes." His voice was so gentle it practically dripped with affection, his eyes glistening with emotion.Beside the bed stood Victoria's best friend of eight years, Cassandra Brooks. Dabbing away Victoria's sweat with a tissue, she smiled warmly."Victoria, your dream finally came true. She's practically your twin. She's going to grow into a heartbreaker just like her mom."Victoria gazed lovingly at the ba

Ethan's face went pale. A flash of malice crossed his eyes before he whirled toward Martha."Martha! What are you standing there for? Get that garbage out of here. Now!"Martha flinched, gripping the handle of the cart so tightly her knuckles turned white as she hurried toward the door."Stop!"Victoria threw back the blanket. Blood was still running down her legs, but she didn't seem to notice."I said stop! Didn't you hear me?"Martha froze in place, the cart coming to a halt in the doorway.Ethan lunged forward and grabbed Victoria by the shoulders. "Victoria! Have you lost your mind? You just gave birth! You'll ruin your recovery if you keep this up!"As he held her in place, he shot the security guards a meaningful look. "That cat's completely out of control. Get a catchpole over him and take him to the vet for a sedative. Now!"The two guards immediately returned with a heavy-duty animal control net and closed in from both sides.I dropped into a defensive crouch, a sav

A deathly silence fell.The air inside the delivery suite seemed to freeze.Victoria's eyes flew wide open. She practically tumbled off the hospital bed, ignoring the blood still running down her legs as she scrambled toward the hidden compartment."My baby!"Dropping to her knees, she reached out with trembling hands but couldn't bring herself to touch the tiny infant whose skin had already turned purple.The baby's eyes remained shut. Her chest didn't rise or fall in the slightest."Doctor! Save her! Please, save her!" Victoria's anguished scream echoed through the room as tears streamed down her face.Murderous fury erupted in Logan's eyes. He grabbed the attending physician by the collar and shoved him toward the baby."If you can't save her, you'll never hold a scalpel again."The doctor stumbled to his knees and immediately began emergency treatment. He cleared the baby's airway, started CPR, and placed a tiny oxygen mask over her face.The only sound left in the delive

Two simple words.They hit Ethan like a sledgehammer. His laughter died instantly as he stared at Logan."What do you mean?"Without a word, Logan turned his phone around.A financial news broadcast filled the screen."Breaking news. Police have cracked a major international money laundering network."Authorities have seized every shell company connected to the case. Hundreds of billions of dollars in illicit assets have been recovered and frozen."The offshore accounts of the primary suspect, identified only as Mr. Caldwell, have also been frozen with assistance from Interpol."Ethan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw the names of the companies on the screen.Those were all the shell companies he had set up over the past three years!"No! That's impossible!" He struggled wildly against the bodyguards. "I covered my tracks perfectly! You couldn't have found them!"Logan looked down at him with a cold smile."Ethan, did you really think spending three year

Three months later.My cast finally came off, and I was discharged from the veterinary hospital.The day I returned to the Sterling estate, Logan had a red carpet rolled out just for me. Two rows of bodyguards stood at attention in dark sunglasses before bowing in perfect unison."Welcome home, Cat God!"I strutted down the carpet with my tail held high.Now this was the life.Victoria had made a full recovery. After everything she'd been through, she'd changed.The pampered heiress who'd once lived only for love was gone. She had taken over several of Sterling Group's subsidiaries, making swift, decisive moves that established her as one of Evermont's most formidable businesswomen.As for the rivals who had hoped to watch the Sterling family fall apart, she and Logan crushed every one of them.At home, though, she was still the same gentle mother."Marmalade, come try this. It just arrived this morning."Smiling, Victoria set down a solid gold cat bowl filled with fresh blu
