Love In Disguise: Rebirth of the Heiress

“I'm sorry, Kiara," he began, his voice heavy with regret. "We regret to inform you that we can no longer administer these drugs to you.” I was dying. I was going to die. Kiara Williams was dying from Stomach Cancer. With only a few months to live, she could only stay at the hospital. Alone. Her annoying husband did not come and visit her, only her best friend, Jessica remained by her side. She could no longer pay the bills and was sent home. Arriving at her house she caught Jessica and her husband together in bed. In a fight, her husband pushed Kiara down the stairs. Kiara died. Or did she? She was reborn ten years back, but rather than being destroyed, she begged a strange man for a one night stand unless she may die again.

Chapter 54

Bang!

My head hit the underside of Gabriel's desk as I ducked down, barely catching myself before I cursed out loud.

Footsteps and laughter drifted into the office, and I scrambled to keep quiet, pressing myself back as far as I could under the table, which, as I noticed, wasn't exactly dust-free. The area beneath the desk was cramped, a maze of stray cables and years-old dust bunnies clinging to the corners.

The faint scent of cheap cologne clung to the space, probably remnants of Gabriel's all-too-frequent visits to his office after hours.

Just as I adjusted my position, a pair of legs stepped into view, followed by another. Jessica and Gabriel.

"This office is way too quiet without me," Gabriel drawled, and then I heard the thud as he set Jessica down on the desk.
