The Heiress Escape Show of Affection
From across the room, Finn’s voice sliced through the moment with disapproval. “Father, that’s disgusting. If you want to flirt with your mistress, do it where I can’t watch.”Leo turned to his son, a grin tugging at his lips despite Finn’s harsh tone. “Flirt with my mistress?” he repeated, amusement evident. “Eloise isn’t my mistress, Finn. She’s going to be your stepmother.”Finn crossed his arms, his expression a mix of disbelief and irritation. “Step-mother,” he scoffed. Finn’s expression hardened, his voice sharp as he dismissed the earlier conversation. “Anyway, that isn’t why I’m here.”Leo leaned back, a heavy sigh escaping his lips. “Then why are you here, Finn?”Finn squared his shoulders, his tone resolute. “I think it’s time you made me chairman now.”The older man’s response was a scoff, his eyes narrowing slightly as he observed his son. “Chairman?” he repeated, his voice tinged with disbelief.“I’m not joking, Father,” Finn said firmly, leaning forward. “I’ve stayed by

“What do you think about Finn Carter?”Suzanne froze mid-bite, her fork hovering over her plate. She looked up at her father with furrowed brows. “What should I think about Finn Carter?”Armstrong Smith leaned back in his chair, a faint, unreadable smile playing on his lips. “Well, he’s interested in you.”Suzy blinked, her grip on the fork loosening. “Interested in me? In what way?”Armstrong's calm demeanor didn’t waver. “He wants to marry you.”The words hit her like a slap. She didn’t even notice the coffee slipping from her lips as it dribbled back into her cup. “What?”“As part of a business arrangement,” Armstrong continued, his voice as casual as if he were discussing the weather. “He proposed the idea in exchange for assisting with our building project.”Suzy’s spoon clattered onto the table. She stared at him, disbelief washing over her face. “You made a deal… about me?” Her voice rose, trembling with anger.“It’s not like that, Suzanne,” Armstrong said firmly, though his ga

Suzanne stepped out of her car, smoothing the front of her blouse as her eyes scanned the Carter estate. The grand property radiated an air of authority and wealth that left no doubt about the family's influence. Taking a deep breath, she walked up the steps. Before she could knock, the heavy front door opened, revealing a tall, composed man in his late forties.“Good afternoon. Come on in,” the man greeted, his tone polite but clipped.“Thank you,” Suzanne replied, stepping inside.“I’m Mr. Hank, Mr. Carter’s direct manager,” he explained, leading her through the ornate hallway to the dining room. As they entered, a warm, cheerful voice greeted her.“There you are, my beautiful girl,” a woman said, rising from her seat. Mrs. Eloise Dax, Liam’s mother, walked toward her with open arms. “I didn’t have time to greet you the other day. Welcome to my home. Feel free to relax.”Suzanne smiled politely as Eloise guided her to a seat beside her. She barely had time to sit when a melodic voic

Suzanne walked briskly toward her car, her mind replaying Leo’s last words."If it weren't for Liam, I'd have never known about this. So the only person you should thank is him."She felt a pang of guilt settle in her chest. The way she had spoken to him earlier that morning—it hadn’t been fair. She sighed, fumbling for her car keys as she neared her vehicle.“Suzanne, wait!”The familiar voice made her pause. She turned to see Liam jogging toward her, his expression a mix of concern and determination.He stopped in front of her, slightly out of breath. “I—”“Let me go first,” she interrupted, raising a hand.Liam pressed his lips together, silently urging her to continue.“I’m sorry for the way I spoke to you this morning,” she began, her voice softer now. “I was frustrated with my father and everything happening around me, and I let it all out on you. It wasn’t fair, and I’m really sorry, Liam. Can you forgive me?”Her sincerity caught him off guard. He studied her for a moment befo
Last Updated : 2025-02-16The Heiress Escape Finding him
Suzanne leaned back in her leather chair, absently tapping her pen against the desk as she glanced at the clock for the third time that morning. It had been four days.Four days since Liam had confessed his feelings to her.Four days since he’d told her he loved her.And yet—nothing.No calls. No texts. Not even a casual drop-by at her office.A frustrated sigh escaped her lips as she tossed the pen aside. Who confesses their love and then disappears like that? It was infuriating. More than that—it hurt.She had told herself she was too busy to think about it, too occupied with work and Charlie to dwell on Liam’s absence. But the truth? She missed him. More than she wanted to admit.Finally, she gave in.Grabbing her office phone, she dialed Carter Hospital’s private line, the one meant for high-ranking medical personnel. The line rang twice before a nurse picked up.“Carter Hospital, Dr. Liam Carter’s office. How may I help you?”Suzanne straightened in her seat, trying to sound casu
Last Updated : 2025-02-16The Heiress Escape Feeling too real
The volunteers scrambled, pushing open the clinic’s doors as Liam carried Suzanne inside, his grip firm but gentle.Suzanne peeked up at him through half-lidded eyes, her heartbeat thundering.He looked so serious, so focused, so… worried.She had never felt more safe.But she had also never felt more ridiculous.What kind of grown woman faked an illness just to get a man’s attention?…Her, apparently.Liam laid her down on one of the beds, his hands immediately moving to check her vitals. His brow furrowed, his lips pressed into a thin line of concentration.Even now, she couldn’t help but admire him—the sharpness of his jaw, the way his hair fell slightly over his forehead, the intensity in his gaze as he worked.Damn it. He had no right to look this good.“Tell me exactly what you’re feeling,” he said, his voice softer now, but laced with urgency.Suzanne gulped, her eyes flickering away. Maybe… maybe she should tell him the truth.That she wasn’t really sick.That she had only don

A sharp throat-clearing shattered the moment, making them snap apart like guilty teenagers.Bianca stood in the doorway, arms crossed, her face carefully neutral, though something flickered in her eyes—something unreadable.Liam straightened, his expression shifting into something more professional.“Dr. Carter,” Bianca started, her voice clipped, “we’re short-staffed.”Liam exhaled, running a hand down his face before nodding. “I’m coming.”Bianca hesitated for a moment, her gaze flickering between them, before turning on her heel and walking away.Silence settled between them, thick and charged.Then Liam turned to Suzanne, his gaze steady. “When are you leaving?”She blinked, caught off guard.Without thinking, she blurted out, “Who said I’m going?”Liam’s brows lifted slightly in surprise.Her heart stumbled in her chest as she realized what she’d just said.“I mean—” she hurried to correct herself, tucking her hair behind her ear, “I’m not busy right now. I can help.” She tried t

Liam's eyes widened in surprise, but a slow smile spread across his face. "Suzanne," he said, his voice husky. "You should've knocked."She swallowed hard, her gaze still glued to his bare chest. "I... I didn't know you were in here."He took a step closer, his smile turning into a smirk. "Well, I am."Suzanne's heart was racing now, her breath coming in short, shallow gasps. She should leave. She knew she should. But her feet seemed rooted to the spot.Liam closed the distance between them, his eyes never leaving hers. He reached out, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. His touch sent a shiver down her spine."You're hard to ignore, Suzy, should we continue from where we stopped in the morning?" he murmured, his gaze dropping to her lips.She felt her cheeks heat up, her heart pounding even harder. "Liam..."He leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a soft, teasing kiss. It was like a spark, igniting a fire within her. She gasped, her hands reaching up to grip his sh

Marriage officeThe Room Fell into a Stunned SilenceLiam turned first, his grip on Suzanne tightening instinctively. Suzanne, however, froze. Her fingers trembled slightly as she lowered her phone.The voice echoed again, low and dangerous. "Let. Her. Go."And then—he stepped forward.Charles Langford.Tall, commanding, dressed in a sharp black suit that screamed power and authority. His cold, piercing eyes locked onto Liam’s hand resting protectively around Suzanne’s waist.Suzanne’s heart slammed against her ribs. It had been years since she last saw him, and yet… nothing had changed. The same presence. The same intensity.Finn, who had been on the verge of losing his mind already, suddenly smirked, stepping back like a spectator who had just been given front-row seats to an unexpected showdown.“Well, well, well,” Finn drawled, crossing his arms. “Now this just got interesting.”Liam, unfazed, simply tilted his head, his expression unreadable. Slowly, deliberately, he tightened hi
The Heiress Escape Truth, not always what it seems
Mira locked eyes with her mother, her voice steady but laced with curiosity. "Tell me this story. I want to know how all of this started."A single tear slipped down Eloise’s cheek, but she made no move to wipe it away."I was your father's secretary back in the day," she began, her voice soft yet heavy with emotion. "We fell in love, and things were going fine—secretly. We didn’t want anyone to know, especially not his family. But then… I found out I was pregnant with Liam."Mira remained silent, her face unreadable."When I told your father, he was overjoyed. He told me he was going to marry me. We were so naive… We thought love was enough. Then, we broke the news to his parents." She let out a humorless laugh. "What we expected was nothing like congratulations. It was a disaster. His parents had already arranged his marriage—to Felicia Richmond, the heiress to the Richmond empire."Mira's eyes narrowed. "We're richer than the Richmonds, Mom," she almost shouted, frustration bubblin
The Heiress Escape Drag over control
Eloise collapsed onto the couch, exhaustion weighing on her. Just as she closed her eyes, she heard hurried footsteps."Mom!" Mira rushed in, her eyes scanning her mother. "What happened? You said you weren’t feeling well. Are you okay now?"Eloise sighed, sitting up slowly. She studied her daughter for a moment before saying, "I was at the hospital."Mira’s brows furrowed. "Okay… What did the doctor say?"Eloise shook her head. "I'm not sick, Mira."Mira froze, confusion replacing concern. "Then why the hell did you call me, making me think something was wrong?"Eloise hesitated. She had struggled with how to bring this up, but there was no easy way. "It’s about your father."Mira let out an irritated sigh and dropped onto a chair. "Of course, it is. Why did I even ask?" She crossed her legs, her tone dry. "So, what? You want me to light a candle for him? Pray for a miracle?"Eloise’s jaw clenched. "Mira, he’s dying."Mira’s expression didn’t change. "And?"Eloise’s voice grew desper
The Heiress Escape Unexpected guest
The conference hall was filled with an air of tension as the panel of doctors sat around the long table, discussing the critical operation. Dr. Chris Murphy took the lead, his expression serious as he cleared his throat.“As we all know, the chairman’s condition is deteriorating rapidly,” he began, glancing at the senior doctors. “His collapse today was proof that time is against us. We can’t afford to delay any longer.” He turned slightly toward Liam. “For this surgery, I will be handling the pancreatic procedure while Dr. Carter leads the heart transplant.”Liam leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. His eyes were sharp, analyzing every word.“We have decided on a date—three days from now,” Chris continued smoothly.Liam’s jaw clenched. “Why that date?”Chris barely looked at him. “Because it aligns with the best possible team availability and ensures we’re fully prepared.”Liam wasn’t convinced. “I’m scheduled for an important transplant surgery that day. One involving a key donor
The Heiress Escape Almost dead
Liam stepped out of the surgery room, peeling off his gloves as the bright hospital lights bore down on him. It had been a long, grueling procedure, but as soon as he saw the relieved faces of the patient’s family, he knew it had been worth it.“Dr. Carter!” A woman rushed toward him, eyes glistening with tears. “Is he okay?”Liam offered a reassuring smile. “The surgery was a success. He’s stable now. You can see him once he’s fully awake and resting.”The family broke down in tears, sobbing and clutching each other. “Thank you, doctor! Thank you so much! We thought we’d lose him!”“You saved his life,” another person chimed in, voice trembling with gratitude. “God bless you.”Liam gave them a small nod before walking away, exhaling deeply. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, dialing William’s number.“What’s the update?” Liam asked, his voice low but urgent.William’s tone was steady. “Everything is under control. No movement from Finn’s side yet.”Liam nodded, rubb

Suzanne stepped into the house, exhaustion weighing her down—only to stop in her tracks. The rich aroma of something delicious filled the air, mingling with the faint scent of roses.Her brows furrowed as she kicked off her heels. "Liam?""In here," his voice called from the living room.Curious, she walked in—and her lips parted in surprise.A small, intimate dinner setup greeted her. A two-person table, elegantly arranged in the middle of the room, with candles casting a golden glow. Rose petals were scattered across the floor, leading up to the table, and soft instrumental music hummed in the background.Liam stood beside the table, sleeves rolled up, looking smug. “Surprise.”She raised an eyebrow, fighting back a smile. "Is this your way of apologizing for this morning?"He smirked. "You could say that."A chuckle escaped her lips. “Wow. You really went all out.”He walked over and pulled out a chair for her. “Well, I had to make up for being an ass, didn’t I?”She shook her head
The Heiress Escape The argument
Liam woke up to the scent of something warm and delicious. His eyelids fluttered open, and for a second, he thought he was dreaming. But no, there she was—Suzanne—standing beside the bed, a tray in her hands, looking like she had just stepped out of one of his best fantasies.“Good morning, sleepyhead,” she teased, setting the tray down on the bed.Liam rubbed his eyes and sat up, eyeing the plate of eggs, toast, and coffee with mild suspicion. “Did you… make this?”Suzanne rolled her eyes. “Wow. No faith in me at all?”He smirked, picking up the fork. “It’s just… I never got to eat your cooking before. Not in high school.”She shrugged, watching him as he took a bite. “First time for everything.”Liam chewed, his expression thoughtful. “Not bad. Actually—” He took another bite, pretending to be shocked. “Damn. Suzy, are you secretly a chef? Were you hiding this from me too?”She laughed, smacking his arm playfully. “Oh, shut up and eat.”For a while, they enjoyed the quiet. But the s

Suzanne’s breath hitched as Liam approached, his gaze dark with hunger. Her heart pounded, her body reacting to him before she could think. She bit her lip, caught between a smile and shyness.“Liam,” she whispered. “You should have knocked.”A slow grin spread across his face. “I should have,” he murmured, his voice low and rough. “But then I wouldn’t get to see you like this.”A ghost of a smile touched her lips, as if she wanted to challenge him, but nervous anticipation flickered in her gaze. She had always been so composed, so guarded. But here, now, standing half-naked before him, her vulnerability only made her more intoxicating.Liam reached out, his knuckles brushing along the curve of her jaw. His fingers trailed down, skimming her shoulder, feather-light, until they found the delicate strap of her bra. He hooked his finger beneath it, tugging it down just slightly, teasing her.Suzanne exhaled a shaky breath, her body leaning into his touch."I shouldn’t be here," he murmur
The Heiress Escape Two birds with a stone
Finn Carter’s OfficeFinn Carter stepped into his office, his sharp gaze immediately landing on Dr. Chris Murphy, who sat across from another man—Dr. Victor Langston, the physician overseeing his father’s declining health.He barely spared them a glance as he turned to his assistant. “Leave us.”The door clicked shut behind him. With an air of practiced ease, Finn strolled to his chair and sank into it, propping his legs up on the desk and crossing them lazily. His piercing eyes shifted to Chris, curiosity laced with boredom.“To what do I owe this visit, Dr. Murphy?”Chris exchanged a hesitant glance with Langston before clearing his throat. “Dr. Langston has an update on your father’s health.”Finn exhaled, shaking his head as if the topic exhausted him. “Mm.” Then, with a smirk, he arched a brow. “Is he dead yet?”Langston hesitated for a brief second before shaking his head. “No.”Finn’s smirk faded into an unimpressed stare. “Then what’s the problem?”Chris and Langston exchanged
