The Forgotten Heiress Chapter 89
I turned around immediately after I heard Dexter's voice.Dexter stood by the door with one hand still resting on the doorknob while Fox stood quietly behind him.Cassie’s eyes widened for a split second. Her hand was still hanging in the air.Then, just like magic, the expression on her face changed.“Darling.” She smiled brightly at Dexter as though nothing had happened.She slowly lowered her hand, reached toward my shoulder, and lightly brushed it.“There you go.” She smiled at me. “It’s clean now.”I stared at her hand resting on my shoulder before looking back at her face.How could one person change so quickly?A second ago she was about to slap me Now she was acting like she was dusting something off my clothes.Dexter walked into the office without saying a word. Fox quietly closed the door behind him.“I still haven’t gotten an answer to my question,” Dexter said as he walked further inside.His eyes suddenly landed on the floor.He stopped walking and his brows pulled toget

The next morning, I walked into El Camino Group holding Dexter’s usual breakfast in one hand and my bag in the other.Walking in today felt different. I didn’t know if the reason was that I got to know who Fox really was, my long-lost friend, or because of the new clue. Knowing that once we got the document, all our problems would finally be over.Oh God. I felt so alive and optimistic for what was to come.Last night kept replaying in my head. The Three Musketeers were finally back together again.Just thinking about it made my heart feel a little less heavy.Before leaving the cottage this morning, we had all agreed on one thing.Nothing changes. Inside this company, Lucian was still Fox.Dexter El Camino’s driver.And I was still Mia Roberts.His assistant.We were not to have any suspicious conversations, unnecessary eye contact, or make any mistakes that would jeopardize our mission. No one could ever know the truth about us until all of this was over.As I stepped into the compa

I could see the relief on Lucian’s face after finally telling us about his mum, and I knew why.For sixteen years, he had been carrying this burden alone.Everyone around him had failed him.Unlike me and my sisters, who had Blake and Aunty Margaret to stand by us before she passed away, Lucian had no one. He had been fighting this battle all by himself.But now he had Blake and me, and I knew we would get through this together.I reached for his hand and held it gently.“I really wish I knew about your mum missing back then. I wouldn’t have allowed you to suffer alone,” I said softly.“Yeah, why didn’t you come to us years back?” Blake added. “We always had each other’s backs back then, even as teenagers.”Lucian smiled at both of us.“I know. We were once called the Three Musketeers.” He chuckled sadly. “I actually came back to the guest house after leaving the police station that day, but the place was empty. There was no sign of you and your sisters. When I asked the security guard

I honestly didn’t know how to comfort Lucian right now. I just stared at him quietly,The cheerful boy who always made everyone laugh was sitting right in front of me looking completely devastated. “Lucian…” I held his hands gently. “Don’t blame yourself.” “You don’t understand, Athena.” He turned to me, his eyes already teary. “I keep asking myself the same question over and over again.” His voice broke.“What if I had just followed that car?” He slowly removed his gaze from mine and faced Blake this time. “What if I had run after it instead of going back inside to continue playing my stupid video game?” His shoulders shook.“I blame myself every fucking day.” The words came out almost like a whisper before he finally broke down. “No… no, Lucian. Don’t say that.” I tightened my grip on his hands. Blake immediately left his couch and sat beside him.“Lucian,” he called softly. “You don’t need to blame yourself. It’ll only keep eating you up.” He paused.“But why did you wish yo

“What did they do to Aunty Sandra, Lucian?” He didn’t answer my question immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and rubbed both hands over his face. The room went silent. The only thing I could hear was the ticking of the old wall clock hanging above my television. I turned to Blake. He was behind me, staring at Fox with worry in his eyes. I returned my gaze to Fox. He was still mute. I didn’t want to push him with more questions because I could tell he was carrying a heavy burden. Right now, Fox didn’t look like the calm and charismatic driver I had met, or the confident Lucian I remembered from sixteen years ago. I didn’t really know what was going on with him, but all I could see was that he was broken. I stretched out my hand and gently tapped his shoulder, trying to comfort him. He took a deep breath Then another. When he finally looked at me, his eyes were already red. “My mum didn’t betray you, Athena,” he said in a shaky voice. Hearing him say that made me feel

“Working for Dexter El Camino…” He paused. " It was never a coincidence.”I wasn't too shocked to hear that, it was obvious seeing how he faked his identity but I still wanted to understand why.I leaned forward, wanting to hear more.“What exactly do you mean by that?” I asked.Fox rested his elbows on his knees.“It means I didn’t apply for that job because I needed money.”“I’m not really surprised to hear that you working there wasn’t a coincidence,” Blake said. “I mean, you were too full of potential to end up as a driver.”“Not just that.” I turned to Blake. “Why would Lucian work for Dexter? You used to hate his guts.”“I still do,” Fox replied immediately. “But none of that matters now.”He looked at both of us before continuing.“I applied because I wanted to get close to the El Caminos.”The hairs at the back of my neck stood.“But why would you want to get close to the El Caminos?”He let out a long breath.“For the same reason you became his assistant.”“Wait…” I leaned back

Losing my parents was only the beginning of our nightmare. What came afterward made everything even more miserable. My father had built an empire. He was a business mogul, and my mother owned one of the largest entertainment companies in Los Angeles. Eventually, their companies merged, creating a

How could I ever forget that night? There was no way. It had haunted me for sixteen years. How could I forget the 5th of June, 2010? It had started like every normal night in our house. The night breeze felt unreal, cool against my skin, calming enough to sink into my bones. I was outside doin

The phone on my desk rang, and I picked it up immediately. “Mia, get my car ready. We’re leaving in a few minutes.” “Oh, where—” The line went dead. He had already hung up. I stared at the receiver. “Where is your car?” I muttered under my breath, burying my face in my palms for a second. Th

I barely recognized the woman staring back at me in the mirror. For a moment, I stood there in complete silence, searching my own reflection for some trace of the Athena Mallway I had known all my life. But she was gone. In her place stood a sophisticated brunette with long bangs, and a polished
