Into the Arms of the Cruel Billionaire
Lena always believed life was simple: work hard, protect her family, and keep her dreams small. But when her mother’s health takes a drastic turn, Lena faces an impossible choice. Desperate to save her, she accepts a deal from a ruthless CEO, Mr. Langston, who promises to cover her mother’s treatment—if she’ll spy on his business rival, Elias. Thrown into Elias’s world, Lena quickly learns he’s not just a cold-hearted CEO but a man scarred by betrayal and loneliness. As she grows closer to him, her loyalties waver. But when a stunning secret about her past comes to light, Lena’s whole life flips upside down. She isn’t who she thought she was—she’s the true heiress of the family fortune, stolen at birth by none other than her so-called “sister,” Vivian. Now, Lena must navigate a labyrinth of lies, forbidden love, and powerful enemies determined to keep her from her birthright. But with her heart caught between revenge and love, Lena realizes the truth is even more dangerous than she imagined. Will she claim her rightful place and find happiness, or will betrayal and ambition tear her life apart?
A New Ally
Later that evening, I walked toward where to board a taxi on the way to the road.
I was hearing the sound of footsteps coming behind me, making me look back at the person coming behind me.
Detective Reed appeared, holding a file in his hand.
"Do you always make it a habit to approach people on the road like this one?" I asked, my tone was very careful.
"Not always, But I thought this might be the only time we could talk without many eyes around." Reed replied with a smile.
"What do you want?" I asked frowning.
"I wanted to make sure you are okay. It is not easy working in a place like this, especially with the... pressures that actually comes with it." Reed stopped a few steps away, resting normally on a strong pillar.
"I'm fine, I don't need anyone checking on me." I said quickly.
