Revenge of an Heiress (Zima Triplets Trilogy #1) (English) Chapter 73
ChantriaAfter a long day at work, I went straight to our house with Chanel. And yes, we’re still living together. However, we rarely see each other except in the morning before we go to work. But I was surprised because she came home early today."You're early," I greeted her. I also slumped on the sofa and grabbed the chips she was eating."Just for a change. I need a break," she replied.We were quiet for a while, watching TV when she suddenly spoke. "I heard the one who killed Carleigh is caught." Her voice was low, just enough for me to hear."I don't know yet. But according to Lorreine, the man they caught had something to do with what happened. I don't know if he's the one who killed her or if there's someone else involved.""Why do you seem hesitant? This is what we've been waiting for, right? To find the killer.""I don't know. I don't think I can face him yet."She turned off the TV before facing me. "Let me ask you something. What do you want to do? What kind of revenge are

Chantria"Woah! Woah! Calm down, princess," Lance said with both hands raised in the air."You said you're friends with Iwatani. You lied to me!""I didn't lie, miss. Iwatani is my best friend.""If he's your friend, why are you with this guy?" I pointed the gun at Gab, who was calmly standing near a car. He leaned on it, looking at me as if he wasn't scared of what I was holding."Isaac? Why? He's not my best friend, but we're friends too. Do you know him?""I don't just know him. I know him well."Lance turned to his friend when he asked, so Gab answered. "She's Chantria, Lance. Or you might know her as Seanne."Lance's jaw dropped and he seemed frozen in place. "This is the girl you're crazy about? I didn't expect this from you."I tried not to react to what Lance said. He might be lying. No. He's definitely lying. Iwatani isn't even here, as he said. How can I trust someone like him?"Great," I said. "We're already here anyway. Why don't you answer my questions, Gabriele? Where's

ChantriaI slowly opened my eyes, but quickly shut them again due to the pain in my head. But when everything came back to me, I quickly got up from my bed. I ignored the throbbing pain in my senses because there was only one thing I wanted to see right now."Carleigh!" I exclaimed as I entered the living room of our house with Chanel.Chanel and Iwatani, who were playing Xbox, both turned to look at me. Iwatani immediately stopped playing to talk to me."She's in the kitchen," Chanel replied. "She said she wanted to cook for you."I didn't finish what she was saying and ran to the kitchen. There I saw her back turned on me. She was mixing something in the pan.Tears once again fell from my eyes. I can't believe that she's really here. It wasn't a dream. She's really in front of me."Carleigh..." I said.She turned around briefly, surprised at my sudden speech. "Chantria, you're awake. How are you feeling? I'm cooking soup."I didn't pay attention to what she was saying and ran to her

Chantria “Happy eighteenth birthday!” everyone greeted us as bottles of Champagne popped together with party poppers and other noisy kinds of stuff. It was like celebrating the new year, not our birthday. I don't even know why we have to do this in the first place.Raising my wine of glass, I cheer with them. I am not really into wines or any type of alcohol, so does Carleigh, who is sitting beside me, looking so bored. But since this is the day when we turn legal, we let ourselves drink. There is nothing wrong with drinking now. Well, Chanel is already drinking even before she turns eighteen, so I don't really see the point.She is already drinking her fourth one compared to the two of us, who are drinking our first glass. Or is it her fifth? Maybe seventh. I lost count.I grimace when the wine hits my taste bud. It smells like a strawberry, but it definitely does not taste like one. It is like a sock soaked in vinegar, and I am not even kidding. I am surprised I did not vomit. I wo

Chantria “I feel like someone is digging inside my stomach,” Chanel mumbles while lying on her bed. She heaves a sigh, trying to stop whoever it is that’s digging her stomach.It seems like she is finally herself now a little since she can talk straight and without stuttering. At least she is not that drunk compared to before. Because I swear, Carleigh will not stop nagging her for the following weeks. And she is quite the nagger.I am scanning on my news feed right now, smiling at the comments on the video I posted online. It already has thousands of likes and shares, and people are starting to pour the comment section.Chanel hasn’t seen it yet, unfortunately, but it can wait. For now, I need to let other people see it and wait for their reactions. I can’t wait for her boyfriend’s response as well. I wonder how he will react. Or if he has the guts to react at all. I mean, this is Chanel I am talking about. Many people love her.“Yeah,” Carleigh said, “and if you do not stop drinkin

ChantriaA lot of things had happened in our lives even though we were still kids. Our mom died on the same date as our baptismal day before we could even go to church. It was a few days from today’s date. We couldn’t get ourselves together at her funeral. We cried a lot that I couldn’t even remember how we got home.After the funeral service, our dad went to work like nothing had happened. He instructed the butlers and maids to send us to school the next day like he didn’t care for our feelings. It was like he was telling us, ‘You already cried a lot at the funeral. Get yourselves together. We still have a lot of things to do.’But I didn’t hate him for that. I know how painful it was for him, like how it was for us. We knew that he was just trying to put on a strong façade so that we would, too.Not too long after our mom passed away, my dad announced that Carleigh, the second-born and the most intelligent one, was going to inherit his business. And when I mean his business, his pri

ChantriaNotwithstanding my series of sighs, the undeniable fear failed to subside. Any moment from now, we would eventually reach the hotel where Dad was staying but I wanted to slope off.Chanel was casually applying makeup on her face while we were inside the car. On the other hand, Carleigh was taking a quick nap at the back. I was the only one jittering among us out of perturbation. I honestly didn't know why I was anxious.Our father called us early in the morning at the hotel he was currently staying at. He didn't mention why. However, if my suspicion was right, it was all about the passing of his company to me. It was expected for me to inherit the company. Nevertheless, I still felt the worry creeping down my spine as I thought of it.It wasn’t just any business. It was our family’s business and one of the Big Three. The company which Dad and my grandfathers managed to build and prolong its top rank for how many decades. It was one of the biggest companies not only in the cou

ChantriaI was enjoying myself while taking my breather on our way to the Maldives. It was quiet inside the plane and I could only hear the swishing of the wind. The plane was already flying above the clouds and it was too late for me to realize how many hours we had been inside. I was about to sleep but my rest was interrupted when a commotion took place where I was."Can you please calm your butt, Aiyara?" I exclaimed, calling Chanel by her second name, which by the way, she hated the most.She glared at me. "My butt is always calm, Yvonne," she retorted. I didn't hate my second name, so I didn't take it as an insult."You've been fidgeting on your seat ever since we took flight. I know you're excited but can you calm down for a moment? Get lost in the Maldives.”She snorted. "I'm not fidgeting. I'm simply taking selfies. What's wrong with that?""Then, can you please take a selfie quietly? How can you be so fidgety just capturing your Espasol face?”"What?" she exclaimed. "My face

ChantriaI lowered the cap I was wearing to hide my face a little bit. I also adjusted my fake glasses to see where I was going more clearly.I continued pushing the cleaning supplies towards the elevator. I greeted some people I passed by and they greeted me back, but they didn't ask any further questions.I needed to act as natural as possible. I didn't want to get caught after everything I had done for this mission. I wouldn't leave the hotel without finding any evidence against them.When I reached the twelfth floor, I got off and continued pushing the cleaning supplies towards Gab's room.I looked left and right before inserting the key card and swiping it. I held my breath until the lock clicked, indicating that the door had opened. Lorreine was really reliable in these kinds of tasks.And Chanel would surely scold me if she found out. Iwatani didn't want me to do these things either, so I didn't tell him about my plan. It was better if only Lorreine knew.When I got inside, I l

ChantriaI was staring into space while lost in thought. The encounter we had at 7/11 earlier is still on my mind. I can't believe I saw him again after several months.And he wasn't looking for me, he said. He wouldn't show up if I didn't want to see him. I don't know if I should be happy about what he said or not.But one thing is for sure, he still loves me. Chanel is right. He loves me. Well, he's not sure if he really loves me or not, but he said his feelings haven't changed.There's something inside me that hopes he's telling the truth. There's a part of me that believes he really had nothing to do with what his dad was doing. He was just caught in the middle.Now, I just have to wait. Wait for whatever plan he has in mind. I don't know what kind of plan he'll make, but I will believe in him."Let me have your ice cream." Chanel snatched the ice cream from my hand before I could react and licked it."Chanel!" I tried to take it back from her. "That's mine!""You're not eating it

Chantria"Congratulations on passing the interview," said HR Manager Ms. Dianne Gutierrez. "From here on out, you'll be assigned to different leaders to guide you. I want to introduce you to Miss Anna Marshall, the head of the marketing department."A tall woman with glasses introduced herself. Afterwards, Lorreine and Louella were introduced as Miss Marshall's apprentices."And Miss Yao Lu, the head of the general management." She was a shorter woman with glasses, but with thicker lenses.Chanel and I nodded as she called out our names. We were assigned to her. Only Ma'am Dianne knew who we were to avoid favoritism in the company.We didn't want any privilege as apprentices here. It was already a big help that we were able to get in despite still being in college. We didn't want to abuse our influence. It was also fortunate that we were allowed to bring Louella and Lorreine.It's been a few months since we graduated. We've been busy taking care of our apprenticeship here. Luckily, Da

Chantria"Why are you so surprised to see me?" he asked. "I told you I'm coming today, right? Did you forget?"I forced myself to smile, but it came out awkwardly. "I-I'm just... yeah. I forgot."He chuckled softly. "That's okay. I'll wait for you here so you can freshen up. We're going somewhere, and you're going to love it."He turned to head back to his car when I called out to him. He faced me with a questioning look."What? Is there a problem?" He walked towards me. He reached out his hand to touch me, but I didn't accept it."Let's not go today. I'm not feeling well."Ignoring my rejection of his hand, he touched my forehead. "You don't have a fever. But if you're feeling unwell, we can go there next time. Wait, I'll buy you some medicine."Before I could stop him, he had already left. I let out a sigh before going inside. I needed to figure out a way to get rid of him without him suspecting anything. I knew it was only a temporary solution, but I needed more time to think about

ChantriaI sipped my coffee before facing Iwatani. We were in the living room to introduce me to the important people in the business world. This was the first step in my revenge.Of course, I needed to know who I was going to face. I couldn't just bump into them without knowing anything."First of all, the Zima Company. Your dad's company." I was about to object, but he didn't let me. "Even though you're the heir, I know you haven't met all of your dad's staff yet. Am I right?"I thought about it, and he was right. I didn't know anyone. I knew Joaquin was my dad's secretary before he disappeared, but I didn't know who replaced him. I also hadn't met any of the board members yet because of what happened.He placed a photo of my dad on the table, which I immediately looked at. "Philippio Geronimo Zima. The president and CEO of Zima Corp. As you may know, he owns hotels, restaurants, condominiums, and other residential properties both in and out of the country."He then placed another p

Chantria"So, who's the other guy?" she asked while looking at my friends who seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the tension between the two of us had subsided.I looked at my friends because I wasn't sure who she was referring to. "Who? Iwatani?""The other one. The cute one." My eyes twinkled because both Iwatani and Gab were cute. "The new one. I already met that Japanese-looking guy. The other one. The Spanish-looking one."I nodded. "That's Gab. My boyfriend."She raised an eyebrow in my direction. "I thought the other one was your boyfriend.""No, he's not. He's my bodyguard. What about that guy? Your boyfriend?"She rolled her eyes. "My bodyguard, Chantria. Dad didn't just assign a bodyguard to you. And he's annoying. There's no way in hell he's my boyfriend."I laughed at what she said. "You two look cute together."She grinned at me because of what I said. "You and your bodyguard look cute together too."I gave her a stern look. "He rejected me already.
