Novel & Cerita Flash Marriage With The Secret Heiress

For a moment, I just stand there, breathing hard, staring at the mess I’ve made. Then I pour myself a drink. Scotch, neat, the expensive kind. I down it in one gulp, barely tasting it, and immediately pour another. Mason’s wrong. He has to be. Georgia might have fooled everyone else with this whole “secret Ashcroft heiress” reveal, but I know the truth. Deep down, she’s still that scared, desperate girl who married me because she had nowhere else to go. Still the woman who spent two years trying desperately to win my approval, my love, my attention.

“Just signed.” Lily Evans has been my best friend since our Yale days, the kind of woman who turns heads without trying, who can charm an entire room and still catch your eye like she’s only talking to you. She knows everything about my life with Tom and my life as the secret Heiress, except the part that matters most right now….Flynn “And that kiss,” she teases, her voice dripping amusement. “I’m sorry, but my jaw actually dropped. You? With someone like him? Kaya, this is a twist no one saw coming.”

“Of course.” She took a step back away from me. And that distance felt worse than anything else. “You asked me to marry you.” “You stood there and told me you wanted a future with me.” My chest tightened. “And all this time...” Her gaze locked onto mine. “You had this big of a secret?” “ “It’s not like that.” “Then what is it like?” Rue asked. I stepped forward instinctively, my chest tightening as panic clawed its way up my throat.

She refused to think about that anymore. The door opened without knocking. Mireya rushed in. “Ma’am,” she said, breath uneven for once. “This is everywhere.” Alessa lifted her eyes slowly. Mireya crossed the room and held out her phone. The headline filled the screen in stark white letters. "Vanderbilt Heiress in Secret Relationship with Unknown Man" Another beneath it. "Engagement to Lucius Black in Crisis?" Alessa tapped the link. Her pulse did not spike immediately. It slowed first, like a predator assessing terrain.

"I'll have someone bring her to New York. You can see her tomorrow, if you want. Talk to her about the letter. About everything." Isabella's throat tightened. "She's been carrying this secret for thirty years. Afraid I'd hate her if I found out." "She loves you. That's the only thing that matters." She leaned into him, letting his strength hold her up. "When this is over " "When this is over," he said, "I'm going to marry you. For real. No contracts, no games, no secrets. Just you and me and Lucas, building something that Sebastian can't touch."

That he knew she had been forced. But his expression gave nothing away. “This is crazy,” she whispered. “I can’t just agree to something like this.” “I’m not asking you to answer right now,” Max said calmly. “But I needed to be honest about my intentions.” Mia felt like she might throw up. Marriage. To Max Hult. A man she had almost died trying to get close to. A man who might already be several steps ahead of her. She stared at him, her thoughts spiralling, fear and disbelief tangling together.

He starts talking “My name is Cade. That night, you were crying, half-drunk, ranting about how you wanted to prove something to your ex and your family. You said if you ever got married, it would be to someone who wouldn't cheat on you with your sister.” My throat tightens. But he continues “You pleaded with me to marry you and you made me rent a dress from this thrift store nearby.” He pauses and exhales “there's a chapel hall for the staff members at the clubhouse so you insisted we take pictures in the church after we signed the soft copy document in my phone.

She pressed her hands flat against them, feeling the faint tremor in her fingers. She had thought, foolishly, that leaving the palace would make things easier. Instead, she had found a different kind of hard. The ten minutes vanished. Mira’s hands clapped again. Catherine rose, every muscle complaining. “Back to it,” Mira boomed. - - - Back in Eldoria, the first formal appearance for the start of their courtship was just beginning. The charity hall in Westgate had been scrubbed harder than it had in years.

Now he was promising to build a legacy with someone else. "I guess we aren't part of the legacy," I whispered to my stomach. The livestream showed the ring—massive, emerald cut, heavy as an anchor. My phone buzzed. NEWS ALERT: 'Billionaire Heir Arthur Klein Proposes to Holly Sinclair' Then another: 'The Merger Is Sealed With A Kiss' Nausea rolled through me, not morning sickness—that had finally eased.
