The Heirs' Passionate Desire

"Urgh..." A soft groan escaped Evelyn’s lips as she slowly sat up in bed.A sharp throbbing in her head made her wince as she scanned the unfamiliar room, her heart racing at the sight of her strange surroundings.Nothing felt familiar, and the pounding of her heart only grew stronger.Her eyes quickly darted around until they froze in shock, landing on a man—completely naked—lying beside her. And not just any man. His chiseled body, sculpted with perfect muscles, was enough to make any woman weak at the knees.Her breath hitched, and she quickly averted her eyes, only to realize her own shocking state.‘Sh*t!’ she cursed in her mind as she noticed that she, too, was completely naked.Before Evelyn could fully process the situation, the buzzing of her phone on the nightstand caught her attention. She snatched it up and saw countless missed calls and unread messages from her younger sister, Rebecca.[Evelyn! Where are you?! You need to come home now! Dad is furious!]All the messages ca

The sound of a loud slap echoed in the Collins family living room. "You shameless girl!" a middle-aged man shouted, his emotions boiling over.Evelyn stood frozen, still shocked from the blow she received just after stepping through the front door."Where were you last night, huh? Who were you with?!" Richard's fierce gaze pierced through her. The dark circles under his eyes showed he hadn't slept well.Evelyn bit her lip, unsure of how to respond. “I was—” she started, clenching her fists.A girl with a pretty face hurried to hold her father's hand. She looked at Evelyn with concern. “Dad! Don’t be too harsh with Evelyn! Let her explain first!”“Be quiet, Rebecca! How can I calm down when your sister was acting like a prostitute last night?!” Richard yelled, filled with rage. He then held up his phone, displaying a video for Rebecca and Evelyn. “Look at this!”The video showed a blurry figure of a man entering room 1010. Shortly after, a girl in a tight red dress followed him inside,

*5 years later*“Mom! Mom! I want that!” cried a little girl around four years old, pointing excitedly at a picture of ice cream outside a restaurant. Her big, round eyes sparkled with excitement, enhanced by her bright blue irises.Suddenly, a small hand grasped the girl’s hand to hold her back. “Lily, don’t bother Mom. We can buy it later, okay?” replied a calm boy who looked just like the girl. His steady demeanor made some onlookers think he was older than he appeared.Between the two adorable twins, a beautiful woman in elegant attire held their hands, smiling down at them. She knelt before her children and said, “Liam is so understanding,” she praised. Then, she turned to Lily, gently stroking her hair. “Just be patient, sweetheart. After we get to the apartment and unpack, I’ll take you to get ice cream, okay?”Lily looked a little downcast but nodded slowly. “Okay, Mom.”That response made the woman smile warmly. “Good girl.” She took both children’s hands again as they walked

Chapter 7 Eden Entertainment“Congratulations, Evelyn. You’ve been accepted as the business director's secretary. Mr. Director has also said you’ll start working tomorrow,” said a man in his thirties, extending his hand toward Evelyn.Evelyn shook his hand firmly and slightly bowed her head. “Thank you, Mr. Harvey. I will do my best to meet your expectations,” she replied politely.Harvey, the HR manager and a friend of Anita, nodded. “Rena,” he called, and a young woman appeared beside him. “Please take Evelyn on a tour of the office so she feels comfortable tomorrow.”Rena greeted Evelyn warmly, knowing how hard it was to get a position like hers. “Hello, Ms. Evelyn. I’m Rena, from the HR department.” Evelyn smiled back and shook her hand.Seeing his job done, Harvey said, “I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave you now, Evelyn.”“Alright, thank you again,” Evelyn replied.Once Harvey was out of sight, Rena led Evelyn away for the tour. “Come with me, Ms. Evelyn.”The comp

Hearing Adam’s words, Evelyn froze on the spot. Her heart raced, and her mind went into overdrive.How could he possibly remember her from a mere fragrance? She had been using the same perfume for years, but surely he couldn't recognize her just from that, could he?‘Is he a bloodhound?’ Evelyn cursed internally, nervously lifting her eyes to meet Adam’s intense blue gaze.“I-I’m sorry?” Evelyn squeaked, her voice betraying her fear. She tried to keep her composure, but Adam’s sharp stare left her rattled.Something about her reaction sparked interest in Adam. Her fear, her fragility—it made him curious, and maybe even a little amused. “Your perfume, I’ve smelled it before,” he repeated, narrowing his eyes. “Have we met?”Evelyn’s heart pounded. Did he know? Was he trying to corner her into confessing? Should she lie?“Hmm, hmm!” Rena, standing beside Evelyn, coughed—purposefully interrupting Adam. “That’s Rosa by Tous, a popular women’s perfume since ages ago, Mr. Adam.”Everyone’s a
