All Chapters of THE AMAZING HEIRESS: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

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

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

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

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. And earlier today… I was chased. Chased by men who looked like mercenaries.” She paused to catch her breath

The Lui ballroom buzzes with anticipation as the Toast Master's voice, clear and strong, announces the highlights of the evening's celebration.Martin flashes a celebrity smile to everyone including to Adelle, "Sweetie, you have to enjoy my arms, while your debut ball lasts. Tomorrow, everything will never be the same again," He approaches her and angles out his right left arm to his princess.Adelle didn't get his exact point, but she smiles at him anyway. She thoughts, what matters, one of the most sought-after rich bachelors in Shanghai is here with him. "I'm glad you came for me, thank you."Martin replies while waving at the guests, "Don't imagine things my dear.""Really? Obviously, you are enjoying every moment with me, as you did that night before." She flashes her sweetest smile, too, and leans on his shoulders for a perfect shot."Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests of the marvelous village, please gather around as we proudly present the debutante of the year, the radiant M
