All Chapters of The Impotent Heir Billionaire Fell In ❤️With a Simple Girl : Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

The sea breeze carried the familiar smell of salt and dried fish as Kim Dickson locked the small wooden door of their cottage. It was still early, the sun just beginning to paint the sky in soft orange and pink but she had been up for hours already. She made herbal drinks, changed bandages, and made sure every patient at the small seaside clinic had what they needed before she even thought of going home. She adjusted the strap of her worn bag, her simple dress swaying gently as she walked along the narrow, stony path that ran through Azure Cove Village.At twenty-two, Kim had known nothing but hard work her whole life. Her parents passed away when she was young, leaving her to take care of her younger brother and get by however she could. She worked part-time keeping records for the village shop and helped at the clinic whenever they were short of people. She had no nice clothes, no expensive jewelry, and no rich friends but she had a kind heart, sharp eyes, and courage that never fad

A week passed, and Rafael found every little reason just to see her again. Sometimes he sent his driver over with fresh fruits or warm bread baked that morning in the estate kitchen. Sometimes he would wait by the edge of the village, leaning softly on his cane, just so he could walk beside her along the shore for a few quiet minutes. They never held hands, never spoke bold words but every glance that lingered a little too long, every quiet laugh they shared, every gentle nod felt like a promise neither of them dared say out loud.Word spread fast in Azure Cove. Whispers followed Kim wherever she went, light at first but slowly turning sharp.“Do you see who she walks with now?”“What could he possibly see in someone like her?”“She must be after his money. Why else would a Sterling notice a simple girl from the village?”Kim heard every single word. Some days her chest felt tight, and she wanted to run away, to tell Rafael they should stop before things got even worse. But then she w

Kim barely slept that night. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the pain in Rafael’s face, and the cold, satisfied look in Damien’s eyes. The truth felt heavy in her chest how could someone hurt their own brother just for power? How could Rafael have carried that secret alone for so long?Early the next morning, she was already at the clinic when a car stopped outside. It was not Rafael’s driver this time. A man she had never seen before handed her a sealed letter and left without a word.Her hands shook as she opened it. It was not from Rafael. It was from Damien.Leave him. Go back to your simple life and never come near Crimson Peak again. If you do not… I will make sure you and your little brother regret the day you ever crossed a Sterling.The paper crumpled in her fist. Fear pricked at her heart not for herself, but for her brother, and for Rafael. But then she remembered Rafael’s voice: You are the only one who sees me. She would not run. Not now.She went straight to the

Kim did not sleep that night. She sat by her small window, the threatening note folded carefully on the table beside her. Every shadow outside looked like a man waiting in the dark. She thought of her little brother sleeping soundly in the next room, and her heart clenched tight with fear not for herself, but for him. He was all she had left in this world, and the thought of anyone hurting him made her blood run cold.At dawn, she went straight to Rafael. He was already waiting at the edge of the village, pacing slowly, his face pale with worry the moment he saw her tired eyes and trembling hands.“They came to your house?” he asked sharply, stepping closer as if he could shield her from everything just by standing near.“Not yet,” Kim said quietly, her voice shaking. “But they threatened to. Rafael… what if they hurt my brother just to get to you? He is only a child. He does not know anything about this family or this fight.”Rafael reached out and pulled her gently into his arms, ho
