THE AMAZING HEIRESS Doubt and Distrust
The air in the opulent dining room hung heavy with the scent of expensive wine and the unspoken tension between father and son. Chairman Benjie Lao, his face etched with a mixture of age and power, surveyed the table.His son, Grayson, sat opposite him, his jaw clenched, eyes flashing with anger. Yet he remains calm and collected."Grayson, my boy," Benjie began, his voice deceptively smooth, "It's time you settle down. You're not getting any younger."Grayson scoffs in a low cynic voice, "Settle down? Papa, you ruined my life. If you hadn't interfered five years ago, I would have been married to Sarah. We would have a family, a home. Instead, you..." His voice trailed off, the pain of the past still raw."Circumstances changed, my son," Benjie explains, his tone hardening. "You know how things are. Business, obligations...""Obligations?" Grayson spat, "My obligations were to Sarah! And to Leo!"The name of his best friend, the man he considered a brother, sent a tremor of rage throu

The rain hammers against the pavement, each drop is a tiny dagger against Sarah's flimsy umbrella. Gloomily, the wind tugs at her coat like an impatient child, icy fingers slipping down her collar and making her shiver.Her arms aches under the weight of the packages, their edges digging into her skin, shifting unpredictably with every uneven step. Then holds them tighter, as if something inside of them is more significant than just paper and ribbon.Contradictory to her old clothes and faded sneakers she wears, is her beauty that glisten as water runs down delicate Chinese American features, tracing her cheekbones with the curve. It catches at her lashes and clings there. Her chestnut brown strands hold fast to wet skin as she draws in a ragged breath- almost a sigh, almost a sob. She doesn't know if it is the rain wetting her face or frustration trying to burst inside her chest. It doesn't matter. Nobody notices, huddles in an embrace with this storm, with the idea that one must cont

"Hurry!""Yes! I'm almost done, Mira.""I'll help you, dear. You have to make it fast. Let's run along, at any moment, Huifen is going to burst fire and sulfur if you fail to hand that gown to her in matter of minutes." Mira helps Sarah carry the heavy box of Adelle's elaborate gown.Perspiring, Sarah enters Adelle's grandiose room. This used to be her room when she was a little girl. She had only recently been allowed in there again because she painstakingly did the minor dry cleaning of Adelle gown's hem, as a result when she accidentally drop it during one rainy afternoon.Only Adelle's nanny and parents are allowed to go in her cousin's room. Her eyes widened as she looks at its interior. It had changed immensely since she was last here as a six-year-old girl."My dear aunt, here is Adelle's debutante gown," Sarah says as she marvels at the room. Meanwhile, Adelle's nanny was brushing her long hair.Huifen raises an eyebrow, "You better have cleaned it properly, or you'd be in big

As they stepped into the Lui mansion, Sarah felt a mix of apprehension and gratitude towards Martin. Her hand was now sewn and covered with bandage. She is so grateful for his inititave to help and genuine concern.She looks at him, touched by his caring nature, and whispered, "Thank you for everything, Martin."Martin smiled warmly, "Don't mention it, Sarah. I'll always be here for you. I was surprised how Adelle treated you. How could Huifen let you wear plain second hand clothes and scrub the floor?""You have been nice to me, Martin, and I'm grateful for that. But, I'm just an orphan whose adopted mother got bankcrupt. I pity my Mama Daisy, they said she took her own life because of she got swindeled by business partners and her career turned sour. I'm fortunate enough for uncle Alfred to let me have a shelter and food. And for buying off my mother's business legacy.""What?! Is that what they told you all these years?" Martin got irritated with what he is hearing.She was stunned

Adelle buried her face in her soft pillow. She was too embarrassed to make eye contact with her mother. Even with her face hidden, her words and sobs were still audible."Mom, what happened last night was very embarrassing. Even in my dreams, that mean Sarah was teasing me. Can you please support me, Mom?"Huifen lifted her child and tidied their hair."Don't be foolish. Everything is planned. What you did was incredibly reckless, and if you weren't my only child, I might have thought about disowning you because of the tremendous embarrassment you caused."Sarah was descending the stairs when she overheard her aunt's voice, engaged in a conversation with her cousin. There was a hint of annoyance in her aunt's tone.Her cousin's bedroom door was slightly ajar, not properly closed by her aunt Huifen. Perhaps she thought that since it was a Saturday, everyone would be busy downstairs and no one would have the courage to listen to their conversation, as all the household staff were afraid

Sarah couldn't shake the unsettling feeling of being watched. She keeps glancing over her shoulder, convinced that the hulking men she'd noticed lingering on the church are now following herShe tried to remain composed, focusing on her prayers and trying not to mind their lingering gazes. Her thoughts kept drifting to her bandaged palm, a reminder of the previous day's accident, but she tried to push the pain aside and concentrate on the service."Am I in a serious trouble?" she asks herself. She looks at her palm with bandage. It still hurts but not so much as compared with yesterday.Glancing sideways, she noticed that the men were still staring at her, observing her every move. Their intense gaze made her uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but wonder why they were so fixated on her.As the church service progresses, the woman and the little girl beside Sarah moved to the front row, leaving her alone with the mysterious man in the dark suit and tinted glasses.Her heart raced as s

Everyone is busy.And that includes the one who brought pandemonium to her room.Sarah glances once more at her room. Her meager clothes were all scattered on the floor. Her laptop smashed and her books wrinkled, and some were torn into pieces."My goodness! What happened here?!" The first thing her eyes searched is a photo frame with her Mama Daisy.She cries, her hands pressed tightly against her mouth, stifling the sobs that threatens to break free.The fear and nervousness coursing through her are almost too much to bear. Who wouldn't feel this way?Her fingers tremble as she picks up the shattered photo, the frame barely intact.

While still perched on the thick branch of the century-old oak tree, Sarah clings to the hope that something—anything—would turn in her favor. Her heart pounds in her chest, her breaths shallow as she peers through the leaves, eyes locked on the room where masked men ransack every corner.Trust was a luxury she couldn’t afford these days. Her so-called family has proven time and again they are not allies but wolves in sheep’s clothing.Suddenly, an idea sparked. Emily. Her best friend. Her lifeline.Fumbling with trembling hands, Sarah pulls out her phone, speaking in a whisper so soft it barely broke the stillness. “Em… Hello,” she breathes, her voice quivering.“Hey! Lovely head, what’s up?” Emily teases, her tone light and carefree, mimicking a commercial slogan.“Em, this is serious,” Sarah interrupts, her voice tinged with desperation. “Masked men… they tore through my room.

Two women, their bodies entwined with his, sleeps soundly beside him.The women shift, their eyes fluttering open with a sleepy warmth. A gentle smile graces their lips as they meet his gaze, their breaths soft against his skin. One reaches out, her caressing his enormous phallus, but he gently halts her.The other one leans in, her lips approaching his, yet he instinctively turns away, a silent command in his eyes.

"I have some… surprising news."Cynthia sat up, instantly alert. "Mr. Chung? What is it?""Sarah… she's throwing a gala," Mr. Chung announces, his voice laced with a mixture of awe and apprehension.

She was told they are in vacation at Grayson's private resort in California."Smart bitches," she tells herself but shrugs the thought of them."I know there are doubts," she says, her voice loud through the company auditorium, cutting through the whispers and the innuendo."I know there are those who question my reputation and integrity. I know they are trying to undermine me, to sow seeds of discord. But I will not let fear dictate my actions. I will not allow negativity to define my legacy.

Especially so she is their CEO.Sarah raises her left hand, silencing the hall. "I’m overwhelmed with your concerns,"
THE AMAZING HEIRESS The Price of Power
The article lay crumpled in Sarah's hands, the ink blurring with the tears that streamed down her face. "Sinner or Saint? CEO Intellectual Bores Twins from Billionaire Italian Count." The headline, a venomous concoction of lies and innuendo, mocked her from the page.This wasn't just a smear campaign; it was a calculated assault on her character, an attempt to destroy her reputation, to strip her of her dignity. A chilling realization dawned on her. This wasn't just random gossip. This was deliberate. This was orchestrated.The pieces begin to fall into place. The anonymous phone calls, the "concerned" employees, the subtle undermining at every turn. It wasn't just the media; it was her own family.Cynthia. Arlene. Fiona. Lorie. They won't really stop!
