After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge TRAPPED
ALANNAI woke up to the familiar ping of my phone, signaling the arrival of another email. Groggy, I reached over and unlocked the screen, expecting to see something mundane—maybe a work update or a message from a friend. But as soon as I read the subject line, my heart sank.**"You Won't See It Coming."**My hands trembled as I opened the email.*"You think you're safe, but you're not. I'm watching you, Alanna. Every move, every breath. It's only a matter of time before I make you pay."*I quickly scrolled down to the bottom of the message, searching for any clue about the sender. Nothing. It was sent from an anonymous address, with no way to trace it back to whoever was behind this. I sat up in bed, trying to steady my breathing. It had to be a prank, right? But something about the tone—the sheer malice in the words—made it feel real.I decided not to let it get to me. I closed the email and got out of bed, convincing myself that it was just someone messing with me. I had enough on
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge THE QUEEN
CHLOEWHEN IT COMES TO THE GAME OF PRETEND, I AM THE QUEEN.I sat in front of the vanity, smoothing a final coat of gloss onto my lips. My reflection stared back at me, flawless, but my mind was far from calm. Today was crucial. The interview was my chance to turn the tide, to make sure I came out of this mess on top. The court case with Nolan was looming, and I needed the public on my side. If I could convince them that I was the victim, the wronged wife who had only ever loved too deeply, it would be so much easier to sway the judge, the jury—everyone. I wasn’t just fighting Nolan in court; I was fighting him in the court of public opinion, too. And I had to win.The reporter was waiting in the next room. I knew how to play this. I’d done it before, countless times. Turn on the tears, soften my voice, and tell them exactly what they wanted to hear. Today was about making Nolan look like the villain, and I was ready.When I walked into the room, the reporter smiled warmly at me, but I

NolanI clenched my hands around the steering wheel, the soft hum of the car engine barely registering in my mind as I scrolled through the comments on my phone. Each word felt like a punch to the gut, a reminder of how far things had spiraled out of control. Alanna sat beside me, quiet but I could feel the tension radiating from her. She was hurt, just as much as I was, if not more. I couldn’t understand how people could believe Chloe’s lies so easily. The media had taken her side without question, painting me as the villain and her as the innocent victim.“This is unbelievable,” I muttered, my voice low but filled with frustration. I didn’t need to look at Alanna to know she was listening. “Just listen to this.”I scrolled to a comment that had racked up hundreds of likes. “‘Nolan doesn’t deserve any sympathy. Cheating on his wife with her sister? Disgusting.’” I practically spat the words out, the bitterness of them lingering in the air. “They don’t even know the half of it. They h
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge EVIDENCE
NolanI sat in the courtroom, my hands clenched into fists on the table in front of me. The trial had dragged on for weeks. Every day, I’d watched as Chloe spun her lies, as her lawyers twisted the truth, trying to make me out to be the monster. I couldn’t let Chloe win after everything she’d done.Alanna was sitting a few rows behind me, her presence a comforting reminder that I wasn’t alone in this. She had testified earlier in the trial, her voice steady but laced with the pain Chloe had caused. Watching her on the stand, reliving those memories, had nearly torn me apart. But she’d held her ground, just as she always did.The doors to the courtroom opened, and Mr. Collins, my lawyer, walked in, his face as calm as ever. He was a man who rarely showed his emotions, but today, there was a determined glint in his eyes that gave me a shred of hope. We had one last shot, one final piece of evidence that could turn the tide in my favor.He took his place beside me, leaning in slightly as

ALANNAThe night was quiet, almost too quiet. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind replaying everything that had happened over the last few months. It had been a whirlwind of emotions, but now, with the truth finally out, there was a sense of peace. Chloe's lies were exposed, Nolan was free, and I was vindicated. After so many years, people finally knew the truth about what really happened.Just as I was about to drift off to sleep, my phone buzzed on the nightstand. I hesitated, wondering who it could be at this hour. Picking it up, I saw Nolan's name light up the screen with a simple message: "Hey, you up?"A small smile tugged at the corners of my lips. I took a moment before replying, my fingers hovering over the keys as I debated what to say. Finally, I typed, "Yes, I’m up."Almost instantly, a response came back. "Couldn't sleep?"I chuckled softly. "Something like that. What about you?""Same here. Too much on my mind. But thinking about you helps."There it was—flirtin
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge FALLING OVER AGAIN
NOLANWhen I held Alanna’s hand across the table, a wave of relief washed over me. The simple touch of her fingers in mine was grounding, reminding me of everything we’d shared, everything we could have again. Her coy smile after I asked her if she’d give us another chance—it was all I needed to know this night was going to be special.I let my thumb trace gentle circles on the back of her hand, savoring the moment. “You know, I’ve missed this,” I confessed, my voice soft, almost vulnerable. “Just talking to you, being with you. I feel like we’ve both been running in different directions for so long.”Alanna looked down for a moment, her expression thoughtful. When she met my gaze again, her eyes were filled with a mix of nostalgia and hope. “It does feel like that, doesn’t it? Like we’ve both been through so much… but somehow, we always find our way back to each other.”A comfortable silence settled between us, the kind that doesn’t need to be filled. I took a sip of my wine, feeling
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge First or Second time
ALANNAWe had just finished a romantic dinner at the cozy restaurant, and as we pulled up to my house, he turned to me with a mischievous grin."Thanks for dinner, Alanna. I had a great time," he said, his voice low and husky."I'm glad you did," I replied, my own voice barely above a whisper. "Would you like to come in for a drink?"I knew what his answer would be before he even spoke. I could see the desire in his eyes, the way his gaze dropped to my lips for a split second. He nodded, and I led him inside, my heart pounding in my chest.As soon as we closed the door, Nolan grabbed me, pulling me close and crushing his lips to mine. The kiss was passionate, hungry, and I could feel the heat building between us as our tongues danced together."I've wanted you for so long, Alanna," he murmured, his breath hot against my ear. "I've waited for this moment for what feels like forever.""I've wanted you too, Nolan," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. "I've wanted this for so lon
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge Intense
ALANNAOne more blissful night with Nolan, left me feeling like I was walking on clouds the next morning. I woke up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air, and the sound of soft snores coming from his side of the bed. I couldn't help but smile as I looked at him, his chiseled jawline relaxed in sleep, his dark hair tousled, and his broad shoulders rising and falling with each breath. I felt a flutter in my chest as I remembered the way he had made me feel last night, how he had touched me, kissed me, and made me scream his name in ecstasy.Slipping out of bed, I decided to make him breakfast in bed. I put on my silky robe and made my way to the kitchen, feeling a sense of contentment that I hadn't felt in a long time. I made him scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast, and poured him a cup of hot coffee. I carefully carried the tray back to the bedroom, feeling a sense of excitement as I thought about surprising him. I entered the room, I saw that Nolan had woken up a

After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge CLOSURE
NOLAN"Closure doesn't come from forgetting the past but from facing it head-on."The wind blew softly as we stood at Chloe's grave, the air filled with the scent of freshly turned earth and the distant hum of the city. It had taken us a long time to get here, to stand at this place with a sense of peace instead of anger or regret. I looked down at the headstone, its cold surface a stark reminder of all that had happened, all that we had lost and gained.In my arms, little Chloe stirred, her tiny hands grasping at the air. She was so innocent, unaware of the twisted history that brought her into this world. But that was how it would stay. Alanna and I had promised each other that this child, this beautiful little girl, would never know the darkness that shadowed her birth. She would be loved, cherished, and protected from the truth that could shatter her world.Alanna knelt beside the grave, placing a single white rose on the headstone. Her voice was soft, but there was strength in it
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge CHOICES
ALANNAWhen Lucas stepped out of the shadows, gun in hand, my heart clenched with a fear I hadn’t felt in years. The happiness of moments before—Nolan’s proposal, the promises of a future together—seemed to shatter like glass around us. All I could see was Lucas, his face twisted with rage and pain, his eyes filled with a darkness that sent chills down my spine.It was as if everything we’d gone through, every battle we’d fought, was leading up to this moment. But instead of feeling strong, I felt vulnerable, exposed. Lucas was no longer the boy I once knew. He was a man consumed by hatred, and that hatred was directed at me.“You came into my life and took everything,” Lucas snarled, his voice trembling with barely suppressed anger. “You took my family, you took the only love I had ever known, and now you’ve ruined everything!”I tried to find the right words, something that could reach him, something that could make him see reason. But nothing came. All I could do was stand there, f

ALANNA"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."Shopping with Angela was just the distraction I needed. The weight of everything—Nolan’s court case, the uncertainty of our future—had been pressing down on me like a storm cloud. But here, in the brightly lit aisles, surrounded by the scent of fresh clothes and the chatter of happy customers, I felt lighter. Angela had a way of making even the most mundane tasks feel like an adventure.We wandered through racks of dresses, holding up options and debating the merits of each one. Angela was in the middle of showing me a deep red dress when she suddenly paused, a small smile playing on her lips.“Jake asked me to move in with him.”The words hung in the air between us, and I felt a surge of happiness for her. “He did? That’s amazing, Angela! How do you feel about it?”Angela looked thoughtful, her fingers brushing the fabric of the dress she was holding. “I don’t know. I mean, I love him, and I can see a future with him.
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge Justice
Nolan"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."The courthouse loomed before me, a symbol of the justice I’d been seeking ever since that fateful day. The memories of what Brad had done—of what he’d put my family through—played on a loop in my mind. There was no forgetting the fear in Alanna’s eyes, the sound of the gunshot, the moment when everything nearly ended for us. Today was about more than just a verdict; it was about setting things right, about reclaiming the peace that Brad had stolen from us.As I sat in the courtroom, the weight of the moment settled heavily on my shoulders. This wasn’t just about me. It was about Alanna, about our children, about the future we’d almost lost. I glanced over at Alanna, who was seated beside me.

ALANNA“Family isn't just about blood; it's about who stands by you when the world falls apart."As we walked into the restaurant, the warm glow of the lights and the soft hum of conversation made me feel at ease. This place, with its cozy ambiance and inviting atmosphere, was perfect for the first dinner we’d have together as a family—one that finally felt whole. I glanced around at everyone, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge THE TRUTH
ALANNAALANNA*"The truth is like a slow-burning fuse—inevitable and explosive, lighting up the darkest corners of our past."*The air in the room felt heavy, laden with the weight of all the secrets that had been suffocating us for years. Chloe's father sat across from me, his eyes tired and red, as if he had been wrestling with his conscience for a long time. I knew this conversation would change everything, yet I wasn’t prepared for what was coming.For so long, I had lived under the shadow of a truth I didn’t fully understand. I knew that the people I had called my parents weren’t truly mine, but beyond that, there was only darkness—a void that left me feeling lost and incomplete. Today, it seemed, that void was about to be filled.He took a deep breath, as if trying to steady himself for what he was about to reveal. "Alanna, I owe you the truth, even though it's a truth I've buried for far too long. You see, your real parents—they weren’t who you thought they were."I nodded, my

ALANNA“Some truths are too heavy to bear, but they must be carried nonetheless.”The phone rang late in the evening. Nolan and I were curled up on the couch, enjoying a rare moment of peace. When he saw Chloe’s name flash across the screen, he hesitated, the tension immediately creeping back into his shoulders. He glanced at me, his brows furrowed in concern.“I’ll answer,” I offered, knowing that whatever she had to say would weigh on him. He handed me the phone, relief mingled with worry in his eyes.“Hello?” I tried to keep my voice steady, but my mind raced with possibilities. Why was she calling now?“Alanna,” Chloe’s voice was weak, almost unrecognizable. There was an urgency in her tone that sent a chill down my spine. “I’m at the hospital. I need you and Nolan to come… please, it’s important.”Before I could respond, she hung up. I stared at the phone, my mind reeling.“What did she say?” Nolan’s voice broke through my thoughts.“She’s at the hospital. She wants us to come… N

NOLANI don't want this night to end," I murmured, my lips brushing against her ear. The words hung in the air, heavy with meaning and longing. I looked into Alanna's deep blue eyes, and I knew she felt the same way."Then let's not let it end," Alanna whispered back, her fingers trailing down my chest, leaving a trail of fire in their wake. The touch of her hands on my skin sent a shiver of anticipation running through me. I couldn't resist her any longer. I swept her off her feet, carrying her up the stairs to our bedroom, where we could forget about the rest of the world and just be with each other.I couldn't help but think about how far we had come. It wasn't just about the physical connection, though that was incredible. It was about the way she looked at me, the way she touched me, the way she made me feel.
