Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns の小説・ストーリー

She'd been obsessed with David for years and had always fantasized about marrying him and becoming the future CEO's wife. Ever since she heard Tina was supposedly the heiress of Skyrise Group, she'd been kissing up to Tina nonstop for the past two months. She constantly ran errands for Tina and tried to earn brownie points in front of David. It was too bad that she backed the wrong horse. Not only was Tina not the heiress, but she was also Christina's romantic rival. She was David's side chick, tucked away in the background like some dirty little secret. There was no way I'd let Christina get away with that slap.

“One of the famous Knight of the Seven Roses, he is the prince known to his title as the White Rose for his innocence and gentle nature added by being the only son of a wealthy business corporate family of the Salvatore. A perfect prince with a facade and a secret that intertwines everyone into the root of the curse to whom they needed protecting, Daniela.

But maybe, just maybe a baby would bring him back to me… to us. Tonight was our four-year anniversary. I had planned everything perfectly. Dinner at La Rosa, the most exclusive restaurant in the city. The one my parents owned. The one where I would finally tell Angelo the truth. The truth I had been hiding for years. I wasn’t just Ariana Lopez, the simple girl he fell in love with in college. I was Ariana Melendez. The heiress to the Melendez fortune. My family owned half the city hotels, restaurants, even a few tech companies. But I had hidden it all because I wanted Angelo to love me for me, not for my last name or my money.

As I stepped into my role as heiress, I vowed to honor the legacy of generations past while forging my own path towards a future defined by resilience, strength, and unabashed authenticity. In the hushed quietude of the night, Eva Torres paced the plush carpet, the air thick with a nervous energy that prickled her skin. Her reflection in the gilded mirror showed a stark contrast – the woman she knew, clad in sensible cotton pajamas, battled with the image she sought to portray. Tonight, silk whispered against her skin, a luxurious departure from the usual comfort. The delicate fabric clung to her curves in a way that was both foreign and exhilarating, the coolness a stark contrast to the hea

The world seemed to stop for a few seconds, as if I had just drifted into trance. “What?” I blinked. “I’ll make it even better. If you marry me, we join Empires and become as one, the company will be new and bigger and I put you as sole heir. That way, Gabriel Damasco cannot touch your inheritance and you my dear, will be queen of New York.” Easton Grant said, blowing my mind. Oh my God. This was a king offer! The biggest offer I could ever get! What do I say to this!? Could I do this?

“You actually thought you could compare to Quinn? She is the true-blooded heir of the Celtic line. You’re just a charity-case orphan my family took in out of pity! I was using you for amusement. You think I’d actually put a crown on a nobody?” Rose’s face turned entirely white. Her status as an adopted ward was the one dirty secret she had spent her whole life trying to hide. My parents had raised her like a daughter, yet she spent every waking moment trying to steal my life, my status, and my man. Now, having her identity weaponized and blasted in front of the entire neighborhood was like a dagger straight to her heart. “I’m not a nobody... I’m not...” she sobbed hysterically. “Look at your

It was a private performance, and she was my perfect, dying audience. I tried my best tactics. The rose oil was a personal touch, a little something to amplify the Tainted venom already burning her from the inside out. I coaxed. I promised. I threatened. I dripped the agony into her wounds until her body was a screaming canvas of pain. And through it all, she refused to break. Not a sound. Not a shift. She took my little secrets to the grave, stubbornly refusing to confirm what I needed to know: that my little Rogue Human was indeed the Prince’s fated mate.

She also wears a deep burgundy colour in a similar style, which pairs beautifully with the darkness of her skin. The burgundy stands out against the freckled features of the second girl, whose long blonde hair falls like a sheet down her back. Her dark eyes lowered as she’s introduced as Rose Thorne. Delia’s youngest sister. I swallow as Rosa and Maggie each curtsey and their minder introduces herself as Dame Edith Lark, head of Palace Staff. ‘Now Maggie and Rose can help you dress for the day,’ Edith grins and I shake my head quickly. ‘I’m sure it won’t be necessary, I’m quite capable of dressing -’

“You’re not in my shoes, so you can’t know how I feel!” He didn’t flinch. He just looked at me… then slowly leaned back, folding his arms and crossing his legs, like I was some kind of show. That made it worse. But I didn’t stop. I couldn’t stop. “Everything you think you know about me is what the media or the public must have told you,” my voice trembled, and I hated that it did. I was trying so hard not to cry again. “The rich heiress who lost everything… the foolish wife who got cheated on and thrown away…”
