Under The Heiress' Facade の小説・ストーリー

Chaewon said, voice hollow. He stared at her. “What?” “She’s wearing a harness under the gown,” Chaewon whispered. “A decoy bump.” “She’s not pregnant,” Jian said. “She’s buying time.” Chaewon’s gaze darkened. “She’s building a narrative. Softening the world. The heiress who ran. The mother who returns. She’s about to take my story and repackage it for an empire.” “Why now?” “She’s activating her inheritance,” Chaewon replied. “Because someone just confirmed it was never me.”

One slip could ruin everything he had planned. Lucas’s mind raced as he scrutinized the woman more closely. She wasn’t ordinary; her jewelry gleamed with undeniable expense, her pale hands spoke of privilege. This wasn’t some desperate girl...it was a wealthy, entitled heiress, accustomed to bending the rules and bending herself to get what she wanted. The realization made him wary. She wasn’t naive; she was calculating, bold, and probably skilled at using her allure to get exactly what she wanted.

Behind that soft, quiet appearance lay a mind sharper than any lawyer’s, a knowledge deeper than any expert’s, and a will stronger than any empire’s. She was the girl everyone thought was foolish, hidden, or weak… but those dark, unwavering eyes told the real truth: she was the one holding all the power, the one who had been watching, waiting, and preparing all along. Calm, mysterious, terrifyingly smart, and utterly in control, this was Amara, the heiress they underestimated, and the ruler they could no longer ignore.

She was practically jobless and how she survived in this city was amusing. Nobody could judge her social skills even if they tried. She was a bonafide social climber and she did it so well, rumors had it though that she had shackled herself to the wrong billionaire. Adrian Hales was a ‘soon to be’ bankrupt person and it was going to be a beautiful reality for Cassie. Good thing society will still be there and the rude world will still rotate, she frowned at the thought and it was about the same time that they stepped into Dan’s office.

she said shyly as the Alden heir’s name rolled off her mouth. “Yes, you should do that, dear. It will be great to show her the socialite ways, and it will do us some good too,” my mother said, who had been quiet for a while. As if the Alden heiress wouldn't know who to be friends with. They are ignoring the fact she is rumoured to be the underworld heiress. I have heard about her. She is ruthless when doing business. I think she is called Sable. It means sharp, black, merciless. A person like that would never be fooled.

"And his date, who is she? She's absolutely gorgeous. It's like she stepped out of a fairy tale, a mix of queen and princess!" "Is she the next big thing, groomed by some entertainment tycoon, debuting at Victoria Garden House today? Just imagine, rubbing shoulders with the elite here could pave her way to stardom, as long as she steers clear of any bad deals." "Could be! However, what if she's the elusive Ms. Foster?" "No chance! Ms. Foster, the heiress of the Foster dynasty, wouldn't fly under the radar. Just look at her, clinging to Mr. James Foster like she's his shadow..."

Part I Manhattan’s skyline shimmered beneath a cold, deceptive sun…brilliant, untouchable, as if the city itself denied every rumour whispered through its towers. The morning papers had her face on them again. HARTMAN HEIRESS LINKED TO BANK FRAUD INVESTIGATION. Evelyn folded the newspaper on the marble countertop of her penthouse kitchen and exhaled through her nose. Another knife disguised as a headline. Another move from Victor Crane.

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”. He could feel his own ragged breathing as he pleaded silently.

She tries to hide her hands behind the tablet. ​"A scar proves nothing," the girl snaps. "A prisoner gets scars. An heiress stays perfect." ​"An heiress," I repeat. I stand up. The blanket falls to the floor. "You called yourself an heiress. I told Liam I am a ghost. I told him I would rather be a ghost with him than a queen." ​The girl in the red dress sneers. "A sentimental lie. You want the power. You want the codes." ​She turns the tablet toward me.

Kingsley’s hand settled at the small of my back the second we crossed the threshold. Not possessive enough to be vulgar nor casual enough to be accidental. It was proprietary. My spine stiffened instinctively, but I didn’t dare pull away, cameras were everywhere, hidden and obvious, lenses catching reflections in polished surfaces. This wasn’t just shopping. This was a theater. I leaned into him slightly, letting my shoulder brush his chest, my smile sharp and practiced. I could play this role in my sleep. The cold heiress, the untouchable fiancée. My blue eyes were bright with a joy that never quite reached them.
