All Chapters of Revenge Of The Secret Heiress : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Take your hands off me. Take your face, your voice, and your presence out of my life." She stood up, towering over him on the long stairway. The wind whipped her long hair around her face like a mourning sheet. "Every time I look at you, I see aunt Mary’s dying eyes. Every time you breathe near me, you remind me that your 'VIP' client took her last breath.""Anika, please..." Christopher stood up hastily, his heart dropping into a bottomless abyss. "Let me protect you. I know who you are now. I know about Carlos. The high-society sharks will tear you apart if you go back to Delacroix alone. Let me be your shield."Anika let out a cold, hollow laugh that echoed painfully against the stone steps. "My shield? You couldn't even shield a dying maid from your own father." She stepped closer, her eyes boring into his soul, stripping away every ounce of his dignity. "Listen to me loud and clear, Christopher. I don't ever want to see you again. If you ever appear in front of me, at work, at

Anna took a closer look at her friend. Anika barely had more than 3 pairs of outfits, two black pants, and a jeans trouser. She had a handful of tops as well. Barely any dresses. All her money made from the restaurant was always saved or used to take care of her and late Mary. Suddenly, she was wearing classy, elegant dresses that were clearly shopped at expensive boutiques! This one was even from the Delacroix brand. She had watched the fashion show and remembered the dress very well. Something about Anika had changed drastically, and for the better. Heck, even her skin was glowing! Where was she seeing money to...her eyes lit up. Was Lark finally taking care of her? Is that why he wanted to end things between them? "Anna," Anika called out her name again. She did not know how to behave now with Anna. They had been best friends, and yet, at the restaurant, those things she said about her and Lark still gave her sleepless nights. Anna cleared her throat. The woman on those tall he

Anika just rolled her eyes. “You’re one of her minions.” This lady was none other than Jackie Richman, a proud friend of Tori. They would always bully her, but she kept quiet most of the time. The last time Jackie and Anika had met, things had ended in a real mess, with Jackie and Tori physically abusing her as they beat her till she nearly collapsed.In self-defense, Anika had held on to Jackie’s ear and ripped it off like some wild animal. That was what broke off their fight before Anika ran off to the nearest pharmacy. Lark had, of course, supported his sister. Anika had slept at the restaurant for days, afraid Tori and her friend would come back for revenge. Weeks passed, but the whole fight died down when Desiree stepped in.Anika was angry. Was that why this lady still held grudges against her to the point of even publicly calling her a bitch?“You’re not going anywhere. You filthy liar, pretending as if you’re already some hotshot,” she paused, not believing this beautiful woma

Anika tried to think logically, but this news was too great not to burst out laughing! "You mean, in just under a day, we can find a solution to this crisis already? Thank goodness!""That is great news to hear," Carlos shared the excitement. "Well done, Shawn."He smiled. "Actually, I can't take any glory. It's a miracle they even reached out to us before we sent any proposals first."Anika frowned. "Really?"He nodded at that. "Of course. They're a very giant company and don't just work with anyone."Anika only nodded slowly to that. "Well, what's important is that they've reached out to us. Maybe they've always wanted to partner with us but have been quiet, and decided to use this opportunity to reach out to us, knowing we would instantly accept them."Tea was soon served along with some snacks. She gently sipped from her cup.Anika, acting as the hidden owner, signed the board approval to accept Vanguard's help. She knew she needed the best scientists to save her empire."In any c

Anika got home that evening to find a lady waiting for her at the entrance. A beautiful petite lady with big, bright eyes. A frown appeared on her face immediately. She instantly stepped forward and demanded who the lady was and how she'd been able to enter. "Hello, I'm Casey! I've been waiting for my brother since, but...he's nowhere to be found." "Your brother?" Straight lines delineated her forehead. She was looking weary now, suspicious. "I'm going to call the police if you don't leave right now." "Relax," Casey quickly said, raising her hand up in defense. "We came in together, all three of us. I'll be staying with him for a while. And I just...they went to get some groceries at the mall nearby and will be back soon!" This made Anika sigh. "I don't have any neighbors. The one who lived here was moving out. She hasn't even been around for months now." That was what the agent had told her. Who was this woman now claiming to live with? "I don't know what you mean. Anyway, my
