The Underestimated Secret Heir Novels & Stories

With blood. Lydia stared at him. “What is this really? Some kind of sick club? A test? A punishment?” He hesitated—then led her to the vault again. This time, he opened a hidden panel behind the photo box. Inside was a screen. It came to life with a single touch, revealing a name she’d never seen before. The Society of the Crimson Veil. And beneath it: Ten Women. Ten Trials. One Heir. “You’re the heir?” she asked.

I turned up the volume and leaned back in my chair. "Welcome back," the anchor said, shaking her head slowly. "We are following the story that has everyone talking today. Celestine Valancourt, the secret heiress who just married the world's richest man, Lysander Ashcroft, is at the center of a growing scandal. Reports have surfaced that she terminated a pregnancy just weeks after leaving her first husband, billionaire Kier Thornwell. Our panel is here to discuss. Let's start with you, Margaret. What do you make of this?"

I tried to recall him flaunting wealth. Nothing came to mind. "Then this could be more than just a conspiracy death theory. It might be rivals. Competitors." "That’s not all." The investigator continued. "He’s the only heir to their vast empire." Red. Billionaire. Empire. The words didn’t connect. Blood rushed to my head, giving me a headache. Nothing made sense. Red didn’t carry an air of wealth. He worked as an underdog. Even had his own small company. His parents had hidden him from the public.

“Your inheritance.” The words flatly didn't make sense, and I laughed quietly…not because it was funny, but because my mind simply refused to process them. “My inheritance?” “Yes.” I stared blankly at her. “What inheritance?” Esther reached across the table and covered my trembling hand with hers. “Before you married Nathaniel, before you ever became part of the family, there was a secret your parents went to great lengths to hide from you.” My throat tightened painfully. “Esther, please stop speaking in riddles.”

¶ I read it again. And again. Then I opened the second link. By Pack Insider. ¶ The word around the upper circle is that a certain heir's new "mate" is a former bartender from the lower districts with no status and no business being anywhere near a founding bloodline. "She showed up out of nowhere with a child that happens to look exactly like him‚" says one source close to the situation. "You do the math." The heir's former fiancée‚ a prominent figure in eastern trade‚ is reportedly devastated but maintaining her dignity. Unlike some people.¶

Reuben stated instead. How his mother happens to stand by him instead took him by surprise. "I'll assume, this was a mistake on your part. But the deal remains, and I'm very sorry to announce to you that you can't inherit the Lancaster firm, this was just a test of you guys' trustworthiness. You've proven to me that you could attain height as much as claiming another man's child as your s to claim the Lancaster wealth. Every Lancaster heir is always trustworthy, liable, and honest" His Grandfather began his long speech which only bore people out.

This shouldn’t be a surprise, based on what she already knows about me, but clearly this isn’t something that she even considered. My uncle sighs and nods. “Yes. I’m the previous generation’s hidden heir. As one responsibility for the hidden heir, we are to take care of the next generation’s hidden heir. The family has had this tradition for many generations. Luckily, we have never had to pull a hidden heir out of hiding before. We have come close a few times, but things usually work out that the hidden heir stays hidden.” As Katherine slowly glances around the room, she hesitantly asks, “What needs to happen for the hidden child to come out of hiding?”

Only the ones with the greatest prestige would know about this secret. Unexpectedly, this secret that had been hidden for hundreds of years was eventually leaked to others. "Thank God I gave the emerald pendant to Caspian. Otherwise, it'd be a problem!" Xandros thought to himself. He was already over a hundred years old; his days were numbered. The secret of the Stewart family estate must be guarded by a successor. The people of the Stewart family estate were ordinary people. If he were to pass the engraved emerald pendant to them, it would only endanger their lives.

"I guess you don't know about this?" Ethan's gaze snapped up to meet Bryan, his eyes blazing with intensity."What kind of details?" Bryan hesitated, "Personal ones, sir. It seems Elena has been keeping some secrets." Ethan tightened his jaw, his eyes narrowing."Go on." Bryan continued, "It appears she is the hidden heiress of the Celestial Empire." Ethan's gaze returned to the photos."Elena, it seems you have a lot you are hiding. I wish your ex knew what he threw away. Keep me updated Bryan, I want to know everything about the Wellington family."

It was an ancient decree. "If the heir refuses the throne, the kingdom shall fall, and the ancestors shall claim his soul." A sharp knock on her door made her jump. She opened it hesitantly, only to find Gabriel standing there, his face pale. “You need to see this,” he said, handing her his phone. On the screen was a news article. Mysterious death of royal elder linked to the missing heir of Aderonke Kingdom. Daniela’s stomach twisted. She had left Alexander behind, convinced she was done with him.
