The Secret Successor CHAPTER 94
Russell was still under the bed, waiting for Kyra to finish her bath.“I’m just an ordinary guy, but compared to Kyra, I’m nothing. And it seems she still doubts me. I hope I’ll erase that doubt from her heart sooner rather than later.”A few seconds passed, and he couldn’t help but wonder how she would think of him if he were to suddenly come out and scare her. He didn’t know her enough to come to any conclusion.Time passed, and Kyra eventually came out of the bathroom, fully dressed.Russell would be lying if he said he wasn’t disappointed by seeing her fully-clothed, as he had been expecting her to come in a towel.Kyra sat down on the bed.Russell sneaked up from the other side and climbed onto the bed. As she dried her hair, her scent carried over to him and mesmerized him. Just as she was done, Russell steeled his heart and suddenly grabbed her neck from behind.The hair dryer dropped from Kyra’s hand.“Hello, Kyra…” he spoke in a hoarse voice, bringing his face closer from beh

In the Lynn family, it was necessary to eat dinner between 6-8 PM as Liam had set it as a rule. Those who broke this rule for no good reason would be punished by force-fasting the entire following day without even drinking water or taking a bath.After breaking this rule multiple times and getting used to it, Kyra didn’t really fear that rule anymore. But ever since she came to know that she was pregnant, she began following a strict diet schedule.Currently, Kyra sat down at the dining table and waited for the maids as usual.However, the person that came to serve her wasn’t a maid but Russell. He quickly poured water in the glass and then started serving the food.“W-Why are you serving?” Kyra looked shocked. “Wait, did you wash your hands?”“Uh…” Russell was startled. “Just a second.” He went to the nearest washing sink and returned with wet hands.She gave him a small towel that she had kept on her thighs until now.He looked confused.“Dry your hands before serving,” she said. (Y
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 96
Roddick couldn’t process what just happened. For one thing, a mere butler dared to pull him aside, then sat in his chair and began to eat food meant to be eaten by him. Not only did something like this never happen to him before, but he also was baffled as to why Kyra didn’t put the butler in his place.Why didn’t she stand and slap in his face?Why was she still sitting in her chair and acting as if nothing much happened?Was she just angry because Roddick came unannounced and began asking her questions? Or, were there more? He had no answers to these questions right now.Kyra, on the other hand, was thinking in a completely different manner.While she was shocked at first by how Russell had acted, she then began smiling on the inside. Firstly, she liked how Roddick was treated. Secondly, she remembered telling Russell to act like an alpha as that's what she expected her husband to behave. Of course, she would have liked it even more had Russell slapped Roddick and put him in his pla

“Whoa, whoa,” Kyra was stepping in to stop them, but Russell headbutted Roddick’s face so fast and was all over him, pounding Roddick’s face with his fists. “Stop!” she pulled Russell away.“Tell him to take his words back,” Russell told Kyra, still breathing hard.“Truth really hurts, doesn’t it?” Roddick was smiling. “How about I say it again? Are you going to come and beat me again?”“If I beat you again, all your teeth will fall out!” Russell howled.“Really?” Roddick kept smiling. “I’d like to see you try.”Kyra frowned because she knew Roddick had experience in boxing. If he were to get serious about killing Russell, then he easily could. Even without using money, he could completely bury the evidence because the dads of his friends were all working in high places such as national level courts and police agencies. Even if Roddick were to massacre the whole Bennett family in broad daylight, none of it would be mentioned let alone be discussed in any newspapers or news channels. A
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 98
Roddick went to the guest room, escorted by a maid.Kyra stood paralyzed right where she was after the crazy thought she had. What the hell did Roddick mean when he said those words? Her heart trembled and ached at the same time. Her mind had gone crazy as she had never considered the possibility of Roddick killing her late boyfriend, not even in her dreams.She looked at her mother and father. Did they know about it?It was definitely possible for them to know and remain silent for the sake of keeping the relations between the Lynn and the Heller family intact.It was also highly possible that they didn’t know anything about it, as Roddick was capable of covering up everything with his influence so that it would never reach the ears of people from the Lynn family.However, what she didn’t get was why he revealed it to her at this moment when it would only negatively impact him and make Kyra hate him all the more. There was only one reason she could think of. He didn’t care how she th

In the middle of the night, a black SUV stopped in front of Arnold’s house. It was the car that Tyler the Collection King had gifted to Russell on his birthday, a car worth more than 100,000 dollars.William was in the driver’s seat. Russell was sitting in the back.“Young Lady Kyra told me to tell you two things,” William said, looking at him through the mirror. “First. Don’t take Roddick lightly. Second. Don’t come out of your house tomorrow.”Russell was confused. “Wait, I can understand the first one, but why does she not want me to come out the house tomorrow? I’m not feeling stiff anymore. I think my back has healed. This night’s rest should be more than enough to rest. There’s no need for me to stay in the house tomorrow.”“Do you have any important work tomorrow?” William kept staring at him without blinking. This had been a scary aspect of William. He rarely blinked, making Russell wonder if William was even human at times. Just sort of experiences he had for him to become so

The next morning. Jessica was on her way to her job, currently waiting at the bus stop, but she was talking with Irene about Russell’s marriage. “If he gets married, I wouldn’t be able to see him often, right?” “No, you won’t be able to see him ever again,” Irene bluntly said, bringing a tear to Jessica’s eye. “Since you clearly love him so much, why don’t you just go and confess to him?” “What? Now?” Jessica was shocked. “He has a wedding tomorrow, with a big family at that. If I go and talk him out of it, everyone will think badly of me.” “Screw what others think about you. Only what Russell thinks about you matters,” Irene said. “And he didn’t give you the wedding card, did he? Why do you think so? Isn’t it because he couldn’t give it to you? Maybe, deep in his heart… he has feelings for you, and he just doesn’t know it yet.” “You really think so?” “Of course. You should be more open and bold about this, Jessica. Remember how Natasha snatched him from your side. You’ve been tr

A few minutes earlier.Even though it was nine in the morning, Russell was still sleeping. His room door wasn’t locked because he didn’t have that habit of locking the door.“Brother!” Viola ran into the room and jumped onto the bed, turned her body axially in midair and crashed her bum on his abdomen.“AUUGHH!” Russell got jolted out of his sleep.“Brother! Have you seen your new video?” Viola excitedly asked. “It crossed 100,000 views!”Russell pushed her aside, cringing in pain. He slowly got up, fearing that his back might have gotten hurt due to Viola's reckless action, but luckily, he was able to sit up without much of a problem. “Viola! You think you’re still a five year old or what?” he fumed at her. “You weigh 50 kilos now!”“I only weigh 47, though,” she retorted.Russell controlled his anger and exhaled audibly. “Anyway, you were saying something?”Viola showed him the mobile screen. “Your video is trending in the top 100 in the vlog category.”“R-Really?” Russell grabbed t
