All Chapters of OVERNIGHT HEIRESS : Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

Amelia's POVFor a moment, I couldn't believe my ears. Ray was staring at Jackie with her mouth in a big O, and Jackie was still looking at me with that annoying smirk.My fists clenched."What did you just call me?" I demanded."Slut," she repeated, her smirk going wider. "I mean, we all know that's what you are. No point in getting mad about it. Elijah was what, the third guy in two months?The fact that you're here must mean that he escaped your clutches."I was trembling with rage now."How dare you—""Oh, please," Jackie scoffed. "Don't start acting all righteous now. Just try to be grateful that I still let you come here, and I might even think about letting you have a good time."With that, she turned around and began to walk away. Like hell she got to do that.She had not taken more than three steps when I caught up to her, grabbed her hair and pulled it with all my strength. She cried out in pain, clutching at her head as she tried to wriggle out of my grip. I dragged her to

Amelia's POVI blinked.What the… she was in love with Julian Lake? As in, the Julian Lake whose heart I was supposed to steal before the year ended? I mean, I knew I was going to have a lot of rivals, obviously, this was Julian Lake we were talking about, after all.I just never imagined it would be someone this… close. A love rivalry that becomes personal is one of the messy things I've done my best to avoid my whole life.Mandy and Angela were cheering, but their voices were drowned out by the white noise in my head.'So, what, am I supposed to compete with Ray for his affection?' I thought. 'Hell, no.'It was at that moment that Mandy chose to tap me, jolting me out of my thoughts."What do you think, Bella?" she asked, flashing a grin at me."What do I think about what?" I replied."About Ray's crush, duh! We're drawing up a plan for how they're going to become a couple!" she announced, sounding very pleased with herself. "I'm calling it… Operation Get Julian Lake!""Wow," Angela

Amelia's POVBeing Isabella Domitia was turning out so well. First it was horrible parents and a crazy foster brother. Then a business that was going bankrupt, a ridiculous solution to the problem, and ex boyfriends I kept tripping over, one of whom should be in a psychiatric hospital. Not to mention friends that sucked— Mandy and Angela were okay, though— and a party I neither had the desire nor the money to organize.And now my dear old parents were taking me to this birthday party being hosted by some wealthy friend of theirs.Wait, did I say they were taking me?No, they literally forced Jeremy and I into the car like hostages.I snuck a peek at him from the corner of my eye, only to see him tugging at his bowtie with a frown, as if it had personally offended him. He must have felt me looking, because he looked up to stare straight at me. I looked away immediately, but when I chanced a brief glance at him, he was still staring intently at me.'Weird,' I thought, choosing to look o

Amelia's POV"Well," Jeremy said. "That was interesting.""Of course you think so," I replied with a groan, burying my face in my hands. "You're not the one who's about to get disowned.""Yeah, that sucks," he said, sounding quite unbothered about it. "But don't worry, they're not going to disown you."I perked up at that."Really?" I said, looking up hopefully. "She was just bluffing, right? She didn't mean it, right?""Oh, she totally did, actually," he replied without an ounce of sympathy.My mouth popped open."What the—""I was just saying that you'll find a way to make it happen," he added."Make what happen?" I asked."Make Julian Lake fall for you," he replied calmly. "Aren't you Isabella Domitia?"Again, I got that strange feeling. Like he was testing me. Like he could see through my pretence somehow.'But that's impossible,' I reminded myself. 'There is no way he knows.'Still, remaining in such an enclosed space, with his probing eyes on me, was making me uneasy. I opened t
