The Last Attack
Kiara had spent most of the morning reviewing her father's inheritance documents.She had decided not to make any immediate decisions, but she wanted to understand every option available to her. Before giving up anything, she needed to know exactly what she would be giving up and whether her choice could create problems later.After breakfast, she put the documents away and joined Sarah in the living room."Auntie, I'm going to the stationery shop nearby. I need a notebook for my university research."Sarah looked up from her sewing. "Do you want me to come with you?""No, it's all right. The shop is only a short walk away."Sarah hesitated. Ever since Kiara had arrived, everyone in the house had been more cautious about letting her go outside alone.Michael, who was checking something on his laptop, looked toward her."Take your phone, and call me if anything feels wrong. Don't go anywhere else."Kiara nodded. "I won't be long."She left the house a few minutes later, carrying her ph
The Price of Freedom
Kiara spent the next morning researching universities and admission requirements.For the first time in months, she had something to look forward to that had nothing to do with the Vyel family. She had already shortlisted three universities and started making a list of the documents she would need.However, while searching through the files she had brought from her father's house, she came across a folder she hadn't opened since his death.It contained copies of her inheritance documents, along with several legal papers prepared by her father's lawyers.Kiara opened the folder and began reading.At first, everything seemed familiar. There were documents confirming her father's will, records of the assets he had left to her, and details about the companies in which she had inherited shares.Then she noticed a section explaining her rights as the beneficiary.She read it once, then again.According to the documents, she could retain her inheritance, transfer eligible assets to another p
A Different Life
The next morning, Michael found Kiara sitting at the dining table with a cup of tea in front of her. She had been awake for some time, but instead of looking through documents about the Vyel family, she was staring at a blank page in a notebook.Michael pulled out a chair and sat opposite her."Writing something?"Kiara shook her head. "I'm trying to figure out what I should do next.""That's a good start."She looked at him. "You make it sound so easy.""It isn't easy. But you don't have to solve your entire life in one morning."Kiara gave him a doubtful look before closing the notebook."Yesterday, you asked me what I actually wanted. I've been thinking about it, but every time I try to come up with an answer, I start thinking about my father and the Vyel family again.""Then let's try a different question." Michael leaned back in his chair. "Before your father named you his heir, what did you want to do with your life?"Kiara opened her mouth, then stopped.It was a surprisingly d
The Girl Behind the Heir
The evening was quiet at Michael's house.Sarah was in the kitchen preparing dinner, while Michael sat in the living room with his laptop open. He had spent most of the afternoon looking into the Vyel family's business records, but he hadn't found anything that could directly connect Rohan to the attacks on Kiara.He decided to take a break.When he looked up, he noticed Kiara sitting near the window. She had a book open on her lap, but she hadn't turned a page in several minutes."Something on your mind?" Michael asked.Kiara looked at him. "Is it that obvious?""You've been staring at the same page for almost twenty minutes."She glanced down at the book and closed it with an embarrassed smile. "I guess I'm not very good at pretending everything is fine.""You don't have to pretend here."Kiara remained silent for a moment before moving to the sofa opposite him."Can I ask you something?""Go ahead.""Have you ever disappointed someone who trusted you?"Michael's expression grew tho
The Family's Shadow
Michael waited until Kiara went to the kitchen to help Sarah before taking out his phone.He had listened carefully to everything Kiara had told him over the past few days. Her story was troubling, but he wasn't the kind of person who would accept every accusation without checking the facts.Kiara believed her cousin, Rohan Vyel, wanted her dead. She had reasons to suspect him, but she lacked concrete evidence.Michael intended to find out what was happening inside the Vyel family.He started with a simple search.The Vyel family was one of the wealthiest business families in the region. Its interests included real estate, hospitality, private investments, and several manufacturing companies. Their influence had grown steadily under Jubin Vyel, who had taken control of the family business years ago.Unlike some wealthy heirs who relied entirely on their family names, Jubin had a reputation for making difficult decisions himself. He had expanded the family's businesses, removed several
Kiara’s Burden
The house was quieter the next morning.Michael sat at the dining table, checking a few messages on his phone while Sarah prepared breakfast in the kitchen. Across from him, Kiara sat with her hands resting in her lap. She had been awake for nearly an hour, but she still looked as though she hadn't slept properly.The previous day's incident had left her nervous. Every time a vehicle passed outside, she glanced toward the window.Sarah noticed it while bringing breakfast to the table."Kiara, dear, you should eat something. You've barely touched your food since you came here.""I'm sorry, Auntie. I'm not very hungry.""You don't need to apologize for everything." Sarah placed another piece of toast on her plate. "You're still recovering from everything you've been through. Eat a little, and you'll feel better."Kiara looked at the food, then at Sarah. She wasn't used to this kind of treatment anymore. Since her father's death, the people around her had either treated her like a proble
