Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Heiress Who Stole My Heart: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Chapter 1The Night Everything ChangedThe ballroom shimmered beneath crystal chandeliers, every corner of the Kornnaphat Grand Hotel glowing with wealth and prestige. Politicians, business leaders, and celebrities filled the room, raising glasses to celebrate the woman who would soon become the youngest CEO in the company’s history.Ling Lina Kornnaphat stood at the center of it all.She wore a silver satin gown that flowed elegantly around her, diamonds resting delicately against her neck. Her expression remained calm despite the hundreds of cameras flashing in her direction.To the world, she was perfect.Powerful.Untouchable.Only Lina knew how exhausting it was pretending she had no fears.“Ladies and gentlemen,” announced the chairman, lifting his glass. “Tonight, I proudly introduce the future leader of Kornnaphat Group. My granddaughter, Ling Lina Kornnaphat.”The room erupted into applause.Lina offered a graceful smile before stepping onto the stage.“Thank you for believin

Chapter 3The First RuleThe next morning, the Kornnaphat mansion looked as elegant as ever.Fresh flowers decorated every hallway.Servants moved quietly through the house.Breakfast was served exactly at eight.Nothing appeared out of place.Yet everyone could feel it.Something had changed.Lina walked into the dining room wearing a cream blouse and tailored black trousers. Her hair was tied neatly, and her expression carried the same confidence that had intimidated board members for years.She stopped the moment she saw Aria.The woman was already seated, reading a tablet while drinking black coffee.“You start work before sunrise?”Aria looked up.“I never stopped.”Lina rolled her eyes.“You really don’t know how to relax.”“I do.”“When?”“When the danger is gone.”Lina pulled out her chair.“Then you’ll never relax.”A faint smile almost appeared on Aria’s face before disappearing just as quickly.Almost.Lina noticed it.Interesting.Maybe the woman wasn’t made entirely of st

Chapter 5The Door to the PastThe third thud echoed through the abandoned west wing.No one moved.The servants stood frozen at the end of the corridor while the security guards instinctively reached for their weapons.Aria’s eyes never left the old wooden door.“Everyone stays back.”The guards immediately obeyed.Lina noticed it.Aria never raised her voice.She never needed to.The authority in her tone was enough.Another thud.This one louder.As if something heavy had fallen inside the room.Lina swallowed.“Someone’s in there.”“Maybe.”“Maybe?”Aria slowly crouched, examining the floor beneath the door.A thin layer of dust covered the marble.Untouched.Except…A single line ran across it.Like something had recently been dragged.“Interesting.”Lina looked down.“What is?”“The dust.”“I don’t understand.”“If someone entered through this door, there would be footprints.”“There aren’t.”“Exactly.”Lina frowned.“Then how…”Aria didn’t answer.Instead, she stood and looked

Chapter 7Room SeventeenThe mansion’s entrance hall was silent.Every member of the security team stood frozen as Aria folded the note and slipped it into her pocket.Lina couldn’t take her eyes off the antique silver key.The number 17 was engraved so deeply it looked as though someone wanted it to survive for centuries.“Search the entire mansion.”Aria’s voice cut through the silence.“No one leaves. No one enters.”The guards scattered immediately.Lina looked toward the grand staircase.“My grandmother.”…Lady Eleanor Kornnaphat was already waiting in her private study.She sat beside the fireplace with a cup of untouched tea.She wasn’t surprised to see them.“You found it.”Lina stopped walking.“You knew.”Eleanor sighed.“I hoped you never would.”Lina placed the velvet box on the desk.“What is Room Seventeen?”Eleanor’s fingers tightened around her teacup.“There is no Room Seventeen.”Aria calmly placed the folded note beside the key.“Then why would someone risk breakin

Chapter 9 The Girl in the Photograph The scream still echoed through the mansion as Lina and Aria ran down the corridor. “Lina!” It was Eleanor. Her voice cracked with panic. By the time they reached her bedroom, guards had already forced the door open. The room was empty. The windows were locked from the inside. Nothing appeared disturbed. Except Eleanor. She stood in the center of the room, staring at the wall as though she had seen a ghost. “Grandmother?” Lina rushed to her. “What happened?” Eleanor didn’t answer. Instead, she pointed toward the mirror. Written across the glass in fresh condensation were four words. She was never yours. The message slowly faded until only water droplets remained. Lina frowned. “There isn’t even enough humidity for that.” Aria touched the mirror. It was ice cold. Far colder than the rest of the room. She looked upward. The air vent. Someone had chilled the glass moments earlier. Professional. Calculated. Not supernatur
