Shadows of a lost heiress

Anaïs Iluak has always dreamed of becoming a supermodel, but her father’s terminal illness and her impoverished upbringing leave her with no choice but to set those aspirations aside. Out of desperation, she accepts an extraordinarily lucrative surrogacy contract from an anonymous client. What Anaïs doesn’t know is that her client, Cael Moriane, is the enigmatic heir to the nation’s most powerful entertainment empire. As their worlds intertwine, a shocking truth about Anaïs’s true ancestry comes to light: she was born alongside Lilith Amaruq, the spoiled daughter of the wealthy family she was meant to belong to.

The car that had nearly run her down sped off, disappearing into the distance.Her heart pounded. She would have been the one lying there, she thought as her hand instinctively flew to her stomach. The baby.She turned again to the driver."Alex!" She called out as she scrambled toward him.The driver groaned in pain, his face twisted in pain.

When Cael Moraine spoke, the world listened.His statement wasn’t dramatic. It wasn’t filled with anger or revenge.It was simple.On his official account, he posted:"Truth has a way of revealing itself. Let’s move on from this."No hashtags. No further explanations.It was subtle, yet brutal.It meant he was done with Sheryl.

Chapter: Chapter 13: The Fall of Sheryl Dominic
Within the hour, the internet had a new obsession. The narrative, so fragile it had begun to shift.A leaked surveillance video from the award ceremony’s restroom surfaced on multiple platforms, showing an entirely different version of events from what Sheryl had claimed.The footage was clear. Anaïs had only stood her ground, her face looking tensed with discomfort. Never once was she seen moving a muscle in attack.Instead, Sheryl had been the aggressor, her body language hostile, her lips and facial expression moved in a manner that dripped with condescension. Then, there it was, Sheryl’s so-called "fall". It was nothing but an exaggerated performance. There was no forceful shove, no aggression from Anaïs. In fact, Sheryl had glanced around, apparently aware of the cameras, and she had dramatically stumbled onto the floor.The internet exploded."Wait… so she LIED?!""I knew something felt off.
