Novel & Cerita The Outcast Heiress's Last Stand

she said. "Yup," I replied. "She's an heiress. And it turned out that she looks exactly like me." "Omigosh, really?" she exclaimed with wide eyes. "Yeah…" I said. "One thing led to another, and now I have to be Isabella Domitia while she runs off to happily ever after with her boyfriend." 'Actually, I doubt it's going to be happily ever after,' I thought, thinking of how untrustworthy Elijah was. "But that's where it gets crazy," I added.

Because if I don’t keep my mouth shut… And Katerina does seem to realise how dangerous the situation is. Yet, she stands there at the top of the staircase tall and proud, like a real princess of a haunted castle, here to right all the wrongs in the world. Strong, but so naive to believe she can do it in a fair fight.

He just stood there, staring at me across the crowded ballroom with an expression of complete devastation. The girl he'd thrown away, the wife he'd neglected and humiliated, the woman he'd told would never find anyone better, was Isabella Morrison. Granddaughter of Alexander Morrison. Heir to one of the largest fortunes in the country. One of the most powerful women in New York. And he'd let me go without a fight. The applause finally died down and I sat back down, accepting congratulations from the people at my table with grace and poise I'd learned from watching my brothers navigate society. But I was hyperaware of the Wei family table, of the chaos I knew was happening there.

It was just her name, and yet it made me freeze. “What about her?” I said, playing dumb. “She’s interesting.” Immediately, I raised a brow. “She’s just a stripper.” Alpha Ryker chuckled. “Is that what you think?” Hmmm… yeah. My brows pulled together. “She’s nothing special. Poor, desperate, and lowlife bitch. I said with so much hate written in my voice. He kept his gaze on me. I’ve seen her file.” “And she’s not poor,” he said casually, sipping his drink. “She’s an heiress. Last living descendant of the Castellano bloodline, the late Castellano.”

"Find out everything. Who she is, how she ended up half-naked at my hotel entrance, and who put that bruise on her face." Julian’s fingers flew across his phone, tapping into their private intelligence network. Within minutes, his expression turned from bewildered to completely grim. "I found her," Julian whispered, turning back to face Killian. "She is Valerie Hart. She just signed her divorce papers tonight. Damian Vance threw her out into the storm to make room for Petra Lee. They froze her accounts, stripped her of her family inheritance shares, and forced her out with absolutely nothing." Killian’s jaw tightened, his eyes darkening into dangerous, icy slits. "The Vance family."

I broke the wax seal and unfolded the letter. --- “My Dearest Gina, If you’re reading this, then the shadows of my past have finally reached the future I prayed to protect. First, forgive me—for everything I kept from you. I chose silence, thinking I was shielding you. But silence doesn’t protect. It only delays the inevitable. You are my heir, Gina—not just because of blood, but because of heart. I have watched you grow into a woman of strength, of conscience, and of truth. The estate, the legacy—it belongs to you.

He said. "I've been working my butt off for everyone all my life" "And It's time for me to step down and enjoy the rest of my life" I was so shocked. Don't tell me. "It's time to introduce the new successor of Madden Group of Hospitals and Madden Realty Group" No way. Not yet. "Let me introduce to you, my one and only heiress, the reason for all of my hard work. Soline Madden" My mouth dropped. I want to throw tantrums at dad but everyone is looking at me including the men I slept with.

I wanted to call out for help, but a part of me suspected I might be kidnapped, and alerting whoever was holding me might not be the best idea. I slipped on my slippers and stood up, feeling a bit dizzy. My head throbbed, but I managed to move forward. I gripped my hairpin tightly, using it as a makeshift defense. As I stepped out of the room, I took in the grandeur of the mansion. It was huge, even bigger than mine, and beautifully decorated. The walls were painted white, and the hallway was adorned with various art pieces. The opulence suggested that my kidnapper was wealthy, which made me wonder what their motives were because it was clear that they don't need money from me.

“You raised raccoons in couture.” It was beautiful chaos. The headlines by evening? "Krystal Hunter: Heiress of Poise, Power, and Petty Revenge." "McLaren Empire Collapses, Reborn Under the Hunter Legacy." "From Ashes to A-List: The Queen Returns." Tomas toasted with his glass of wine. “To poetic justice.” Darren wrapped an arm around my waist and kissed my temple, eyes glinting with something deeper than just celebration. “You didn’t just burn the house down, love. You rebuilt a palace on the ashes.”
