All Chapters of THE HEIRESS THEY NEVER WANTED: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Sunlight poured through the enormous glass ceiling, spilling across the white stone floor in warm, golden ribbons. Vines climbed the iron arches overhead, intertwined with delicate white roses, baby's breath, and pale pink flowers. Small candles rested inside glass lanterns along the aisle, their flames flickering softly despite the brightness of the afternoon.Nadia stared at herself in the mirror. After what happened with Roland, she has always believed happiness was something meant for other people. But things have changed lately. Happiness was meant for everyone and she was finally getting her full happiness today because she was getting married to Adrian.Rows of elegant white chairs filled the greenhouse, occupied by the people who had become part of their story. Family members, close friends, and those who had witnessed the difficult road that had brought them to this moment sat quietly, waiting.At the end of the aisle stood Adrian in a perfectly tailored black suit. He looke

"Everything you did," Nadia whispered. "Every lie. Every sacrifice. Every person you allowed to suffer. You think it was worth it?"Genevieve didn't hesitate."Look around you."She spread her arms."This empire is worth billions. It will outlive us both. People will remember the Laurent name long after we're gone.""And my mother?"Genevieve said nothing."My father?"Still nothing."What about the daughter you murdered without ever laying a hand on her?"For the first time, something dangerous flickered in Genevieve's eyes."Enough."Nadia laughed through her tears."No. You don't get to silence me anymore."She wiped her face with trembling fingers."You spent my entire life deciding what I deserved. You decided who my mother should marry. You decided who should inherit your empire. You decided that my parents' lives meant nothing."She stepped closer."But you don't get to decide who I become."Genevieve watched her in silence.Nadia's voice dropped."I will never be you."The wor

Genevieve lay motionless in the hospital bed, surrounded by machines that seemed to be keeping her alive. Returning to the Laurent mansion was no longer an option.After Vincent and Evelyn's arrests, the once-bustling estate had become almost completely abandoned. Daphne was still nowhere to be found, and the servants who had once filled the mansion had gradually disappeared.Genevieve had lost her home, her family and now, she was watching her empire collapse from a hospital bed.The television mounted on the wall showed the latest news.LAURENT EMPIRE IN CRISIS AS INVESTORS PULL OUT.Genevieve's eyes remained fixed on the screen."Major investors have withdrawn their funds from Laurent Empire following the explosive allegations against Genevieve Laurent. Several smaller investors have followed suit, with the company's shares experiencing a dramatic decline..."Genevieve grabbed the remote and switched off the television.Her hand trembled."All of them..."Her breathing became heavi

Nadia stared down at the diary they had discovered in the locked room of the Laurent mansion. She had read the first few pages several times, yet the words still stirred something deep within her. They were written by Celeste, revealing a part of her past that Nadia had never known existed.According to the diary, Celeste had met a pregnant woman in another country years ago. The woman’s identity and the country’s name had been carefully omitted, but one thing was clear was how desperate the woman was to protect her child.She had pleaded with Celeste to take the baby and raise her somewhere safe. That baby was Nadia. Celeste had written about the strange connection she felt the moment she met the woman. Although she had not given birth to Nadia, she had grown attached to the unborn child and eventually agreed to take her away.After returning to Country D, Celeste had told her husband everything and he had accepted the situation without hesitation. Together, they welcomed the little

With their family growing and their businesses running smoothly, Nadia finally decided it was time to return to Country A.She had been away from the headquarters for far too long, and she wanted to take a more active role in the company again. Besides, she wanted to welcome their second child in Country A, just as she had done when she was pregnant with Aveline.When she brought the idea up with Adrian, he was far from enthusiastic."Country A?" he repeated, looking at her in disbelief. "My love , you do realize what that means, don't you? I'll have to leave the company here, and I can't just abandon the Ravencrest Empire.""I'm not asking you to abandon anything, Adrian. We have people we can trust to handle things while we're away."He shook his head, his concern wasn't just about leaving the company behind. He had spent years building and managing his businesses, and the thought of stepping away from his responsibilities, even temporarily, wasn't something he found easy.However,
