The Inheritors Book Novels & Stories

He had destroyed my last hope with his own hands. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, a private jet landed smoothly on the Caprese residence's runway. My father, George, stood waiting with all the core members of the Caprese family. When he saw me, his eyes filled with both pain and fury. "Welcome home, my Principessa." I dropped to my knees before him. "Father, I have returned." He helped me up and draped a cloak over my shoulders, the symbol of the family's honor. "From today on, you are no one's wife. You are the sole heiress of the Caprese family."

I felt my grandfather’s eyes linger for quite a bit, before he cleared his throat and began. “Leanna Thorn. You invoked the sacred Lunar trials, using your right as a member of the ruling family, laying your claim to the throne of Alpha,” he started, the air in the hall turning ceremonial. My gaze remained fixated on the ground as I wanted nothing more than to run away. A part of me even wished for that arrogant alpha to show himself and somehow mess things up. I turned to the side, instantly finding his figure in the crowd, but to my disappointment, he just stood silently, watching everything play out with the cold arrogance of a peak predator.

"The location of the inheritance ground is inside the Nerere continent. It's a wasteland, almost uninhabited, that's why it took so much for my family to find it." "The problem is that it borders with two other countries. Unless we want to start a war, we need to retrieve the inheritance unnoticed." "As for the trials, we cleared the first two layers but then we met the restrictions towards the Kingdoms upper echelons. Apparently, they were really mad at us to set something like that." The four students rolled their eyes. How could they not hate the family that dethroned them? Lady Chen made an awkward laugh and continued her explanation.

After saying that, she looked up and said in an icy tone, “I’m curious. Mr. Carter, why do you want to kill me?” Ben smiled and pursed his lips tightly. He obviously was not willing to answer. Since he did not want to talk, she could do it. Harmonia’s expression turned cold, and her beautiful face exuded an air of coldness as she said, “My grandfather has an unresolved and substantial inheritance explicitly designed for his direct descendants. However, the heir to this inheritance had yet to appear. However, a woman driving a Lamborghini finally came to claim the inheritance that day. You knew that all the villas in Area 1 belong to my grandfather.”

Hey, lovelies! Thank you so much to all of you who have waited for this book's release through the setbacks! For those of you who are new here, this is the fourth installment and should be read after Timber, Mated to Brianna, and Mylo (which is at the end of Timber), but for sure after Mated to Brianna which will set the stage and characters for this book. This book is a slow burn with some spicy heat later on - and lots of it! It’s going to have a few M-M moments, possible triggers, and the heirs can have quite the potty mouths.

“Mom, seeing how much Grandma favors Liz, she’s probably planning to make her the successor. Maybe you should try to get along with her. If she inherits Smith Corporation one day, she might hold it against you.” Kimberly’s expression darkened, but her voice was resolute. “Don’t worry, Mandy. I’ll never let Liz inherit Smith Corporation. If anyone’s taking over that company, it’ll be you.” Mandy’s heart skipped, excitement flashing in her eyes before she quickly masked it with a nervous look. “Mom, I don’t want to inherit anything. I just want to repay you and Dad for raising me.” Kimberly’s gaze hardened. “No. Smith Corporation has to be yours. As for your grandmother, I’ll handle her.”

After all, even though I had always been obedient and gentle, I had zero tolerance when it came to betrayal. “Yvonne, do you really understand?” I nodded, curling my lips into a bitter smile. “Zayn, we both have to think of the family. I understand you need an heir. After all, the Levine mafia empire is vast. Someone has to inherit it. “If you think it would be easier, you can bring Whitney home so that she’s cared for. That way, I’ll feel reassured too.” Joy spread across his face when I said those words. He let out a long sigh of relief.

“You think I don’t know what he’s doing? I helped him draw the blueprints.” Julian blinked. She smiled. “You’re not the only heir playing a long game, Mr. Vince.” And that was when he realized: she wasn’t Crane’s weakness. She was his legacy. — Back in New York – Same Night Clarissa slammed the door open into the safehouse. “Aiden,” she called out. He looked up from his laptop, eyebrows furled. “What happened?” She held up a burner phone. “Emergency message. One of our contacts from Legal just went dark. But before that—he sent a code. It matches a set of offshore files buried under your dad’s name.”

Gaspare continued watching me with that same half-smile. The broken glass cut into my palm. The blood flowing from my hand pulled my crumbling sanity back from the edge. I dropped the bottle. Gaspare nodded with satisfaction. "I knew you'd be more sensible than she was." … After that day, I stopped resisting. I accepted every arrangement Gaspare made for me. I was just a fake heiress with a borrowed name in the Toscano family, so trying to take down Gaspare on my own was impossible. I had no power, no resources.
