The Phantom Heiress: Rising From The Shadows Novels & Stories

But the burn didn’t ease the knot in his chest. The news flashed on TV. “In breaking news, the missing Hartman heiress has been found alive after twenty-three years…” Adrian froze. The screen showed Evelyn stepping from a black car, surrounded by cameras. “She’s the missing Hartman heiress,” he whispered. Charlotte paled. “That’s impossible.” Adrian barely heard her. Every cruel word he’d thrown at Evelyn echoed in his head. He’d called her a gold digger, said she didn’t belong. Now she was the richest woman in New York.

They are young, beautiful, and each carries in their eyes the trace of power either bequeathed to them or stolen.

He rubbed his temples, trying to clear the fog in his mind. He knew that everything that happened last night was plotted by his grandfather and Scarlett, whom his grandfather had arranged to be his fiance. If he hadn't evaded her last night, their plans would have worked out. Tristan sensed that something was not right when his grandfather called for Brian, while Scarlett was with him. He had just arrived in New York yesterday when Scarlett called to see him. Since he was spending the night at the hotel, he asked her to meet him at the club.

The woman was tall, regal, and bore a terrifying resemblance to my mother, but her face was a roadmap of scars—jagged, white lines that ran from her temple to her jaw. "Sora?" Dante breathed, his grip on my hand tightening. "The Butcher remembers me," the woman said, a cruel, mirthless smile touching her lips. "I was Elena’s Shadow. Her Hand. Until she decided that a hand was too much of a liability for a Queen. She burned my village, Zora. She burned my face. And now, she’s sent her greatest creation to finish the job." "I wasn't sent by her," I hissed, stepping toward the scarred woman. "I was sold by my father and hunted by her. I am the 'Rejected Heiress', remember? I’m the mistake she’s

Meg stepped forward, her eyes ablaze with righteous fury. Silence consumed the office, and officer Gabby was left in a state of dilemma. He once heard that the heiress of the Song family is heartless and cold. Could he risk his life just for a cheap penny? “Didn't you hear her?” Enzo yelled dangerously. “I… I….he stammered. He felt his gut wrench as Enzo snapped his fingers. And before you know it. Hefty, dangerous men walked in. “I will speak, I will speak”.

Every single piece!" Some people still looked uncertain. "If you're really Evangeline..." I kept my voice calm. "Then tell everyone here what inspired the Phoenix dress. Go ahead.

Not because there was nothing to say but because everything we could say was too large to fit into words yet. I stared out the oval window, watching darkness swallow the wing, my reflection faintly visible in the glass. I barely recognized the woman looking back at me. Her hair was tangled, her eyes too sharp, too awake. There were faint scratches along her collarbone and wrist—souvenirs from a rooftop where the truth finally stopped hiding. I wasn’t the Hidden Heiress anymore. I wasn’t the substitute. I was the girl whose grandfather had signed her death warrant before she was old enough to understand what betrayal looked like.

Ryan walked toward her, dressed in a neat black suit, his usual confident smile on his face. He looked her up and down, then smirked slightly. “Where’s my heiress?” he said playfully. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you.” The word hit differently now. Heiress.

He had a business trip but canceled just to be here with her. She looked at everyone present and could notice familiar faces like her siblings, her mother and Logan’s parents and her son who waved his little hands for her to see.
