Novel & Cerita The Secret Heiress Loved By Four

he asked and stretched his hands then I lifted my eyes on his. He chuckled, "Don't felt embarrassed anymore, Ash, can we be friends?" he added and I chuckled. We shook hands, "Sure, let's do that," I said. It was the first conversation we had that we didn't talk about the cases and my secret admirer. And talking to him was great. I guess he was the only man that my secret admirer won't dare to kill, and hope he didn't, because he was my only key to solve the case.

She is secretly in love with me while I’m secretly in love with her, too. The rest of that evening is the best night of my life. That is, until the morning came, and I wake up alone in my bedroom. Katie is nowhere in sight and has snuck out of my bedroom. I rush to her place to see if I can talk to her before she leaves, but I’m too late. I even run to the airport, but once again, I’m too late.

But in a twist that could turn any plot into a labyrinthine maze, I, the girl with a penchant for chaos, was supposedly the heiress of the winter gauntlet. His head jerked away, eyes scanning our surroundings, a silent check for eavesdroppers. "The king fathered me with a woman. It was a secret I unearthed two years ago. Your mother and the queen, they were siblings. That makes you an heir by blood, Idrish, and heir to the gauntlet. That's the abridged version of a complex tale, for now."

Then silence. I closed my eyes and pretended I hadn’t heard it. Thirty days. A house full of secrets. A man who looked at me like he wanted to own every broken piece. And a will that had already decided neither of us was walking away clean. I was the hidden heir. And the dark had only just begun to open its mouth.

There was nothing that he could envy of other men when the truth was that he had everything on his side, ready to be used when he wanted at the time he felt like. And just like that, a black car with tinted windows approached the bar. A secret to discover, a lover to meet, a heart to change its course and two destinies that were about to become one. How small the world was when it came to conspire against us! April, the young April and the one who was a naive girl in the past, was to realize too late that there are secrets that were better not to keep. April, the name of a woman who obtained everything just by proposing it. Son of Hades, a two-faced man who knew nothing.

The woman studied him carefully. Longer than necessary. Then: "So you're the new one." Nobody liked that sentence. Then: "My name is Selene." Silence. Then: "The Fourth Heir." The world stopped. Immediately. Then: "What?" Then Selene shrugged. Then: "There used to be more." Nobody liked that answer. Not even slightly. Then Henry adjusted his glasses. Immediately. Then: "How many?" Selene's smile faded. Then: "Originally?" Pause. Then: "Thirteen."

"You will never, ever ask me about my past before this agreement. And you will never set foot in the small apartment I live in now." Julian Thorne stared at me, a fascinating mix of annoyance and dawning intrigue in his eyes. He hesitated, clearly sensing the massive secret that lay just beneath my request. Then, with a curt, decisive nod, he answered. "Agreed. Now sign." I dipped the expensive pen into the ink. There was no turning back. I just sold myself to the one man in the world who could destroy me, all to protect the one thing he already owned. My name is Evelyn Reed, and I just married the father of my secret child.

She was perfect. I told her a tidbit about myself, hiding my background of course. If I’m doing this, I’m doing it without my father’s influence. I don't want anyone to find out that I’m the heiress of Valen Group and the only daughter of Sebastian Valen. My Dad will probably have a fit if he learned that I’m here for modeling casting. I had to lie to him earlier that I was meeting up with a friend.

But Eva couldn't move. “You said Amelia was my twin.” “She is.” “Then why would I have her name?” The voice answered. “Because one of you was supposed to become the heir.” Eva looked at Amelia. Amelia was crying silently. “You said I was the secret heir.” “Yes,” Grandmother whispered. The voice laughed. “No. You were the replacement.” Eva's blood ran cold. Adrian immediately stepped closer. “Enough.” The speaker went silent. Then another sound came from the hidden door above them.

Getting this amount in cash was a fucking nightmare, so I really hope it's worth it, "They'll be fully yours, no questions asked and no one will ever know what happened in here." "Okay," she mumbles a few seconds later, "Do I have to agree to know what your secret is?" "Yep," I reply. She closes her eyes, but after thinking about it, she nods, "You're smart. And now you're half a million dollars richer." "I guess I am.... so what's your secret?" she asks with bright, interested eyes. I think she wants to know the secret more than she wants the money. "You know I'm dating Theodore Heiden?" I start, she nods, "Well, my secret is that I'm also dating his good friend Liam Fierro, you know who he
