Chapter 9

Liam tuvo un panorama de donde se estaba metiendo, pero no daría marcha atrás.

— Basta déjenme, ¡me tienen harta! ¡No soy una niña, no soy de cristal! — Kimberly tomo la mano de Liam y salió del salón.

Segundos después su tía los regañaba en el despacho y mandaba a comprar pruebas de embarazo, ambos jóvenes sentían que estaban al borde del abismo, Alissa se dio cuenta que la cara de Liam reflejaba inseguridad, algo que le pareció raro, y es que, a ella, su marido y cuñados, habían quedado encantados con el hombre, que fue capaz de enfrentar no solo la hostilidad de los primos de Kim, sino a toda la familia, algo que ninguno de los tres jóvenes que Kim presento antes pudieron soportar.

Ni lo sueñes, Simons, no escaparas, no lo permitiré. Te llevaste la virginidad de mi niña y responderás por ello.

— Se casarán la próxima semana sin importar lo que diga la prueba de embarazo. — Fue su sentencia, y ninguno de los dos dijo nada. Ellos no podían procesar nada, hasta ver el resultado de las venditas pruebas.

Mientras tanto la discusión continuaba entre el resto de la familia en la sala.

— No dejaré que se casé, él es un idiota, si la embarazo lo voy a matar, yo solo...

— Tú no harás nada, ninguno de ustedes hará nada. — Marcus ya no tenía su cara simpática y amigable, esa la usaba solo con su nieta.

— Pero papá. — Edmond estaba a punto de sacar su humor a relucir.

— No, ¡¿no lo ven?! La cansamos, la cuidamos tanto, que nosotros mismo la lastimamos, al punto que saliera de esta casa con mentiras, y al cometer un error se desata una cadena de errores. Por suerte fue él a quien contacto por las redes, piensen ¿qué hubiera pasado si fuera algún depravado? No quiero ni pensarlo.

— Sí, pero aun así si la embarazo, no fue por error, ¡él debía cuidarla!

— ¿Cómo tú lo hiciste con la que fue tu novia Bastián?, ella le mintió, dijo que tenía 20, quizás le dijo que se cuidaba, ¿no se han puesto a pensar? Cuando Rebecca quiso que comenzara a tomar las píldoras tú te opusiste Sam, dijiste que no era necesario, porque tu hermana no haría nada indebido, como si el hecho de tener relaciones sexuales fuera un pecado y se te respeto, aun cuando es el cuerpo y vida de tu hermana.

— Entonces mejor se la entregas ¿y ya?

— Yo no entrego a mi nieta, solo le permito tratar de ser feliz, Liam... me parece una buena persona y si no es él, ¿cuánto piensas que tardará ella en fugarse con algún bueno para nada?, que la quiera como trofeo o peor que la use para tener una buena vida asegurada. — Para cuando Marcus terminó de poner a todos en vereda, Alissa entró con la pareja ya más relajada.

— Aquí no pasó nada más que un susto, pero aun así se casaran la próxima semana. — Sam quería gritar y romper todo al igual que sus primos, pero como su abuelo ya les había advertido se mantuvieron en silencio.

En una semana estaré casado, por lo menos Dios se apiadó de nosotros y esas pruebas dieron negativo, si no, estarían preparando mi cuerpo para ser entregado a mi familia.

La puerta del cuarto se abrió y Jared entró. Liam se levantó de inmediato.

— ¡¿Qué mierda estás haciendo?!

— Solucionando tu último problema, sabes... fui a verla para que te denuncie. — le dijo la verdad y es que después de conocer a la joven el corazón de Liam quemaba al saber que el idiota de Jared había lastimado a una joven tan buena.

— ¡¿Que?!

— Lo que oyes, pero no quiso, no por ti, por ella misma, le da vergüenza que se enteren que alguien como tú la haya tocado. — La cara de Jared era un poema. Pero algo en el interior de Liam lo hizo sentir mejor al decir aquello.

— Pero su hermano escucho que perdió su virginidad y creyeron que fui yo quien la tomó, por lo que decidí proponerle matrimonio.

— ¡¿Y ella aceptó?!

— Si, como verás, cualquiera es mejor que tú, desde hoy no volveré a limpiar tu desorden y si en algún momento se te olvida y quieres hacer algo parecido o alguna otra idiotez, haré que papá te saque de su testamento, le contare todo. — Jared no le prestaba atención a la amenaza de su hermano mayor, su mente estaba en otra cosa.

— No entiendo... su familia… ellos nunca...

— Me aceptaron, porque soy un hombre de bien, no como tú, ahora vete.

Liam estaba tan enojado por lo que su hermano había provocado que no reparó en lo que le decía, a él jamás se le ocurrió pensar que Jared fuera capaz de sentir algo por alguien más que no fuera él mismo, pero así era, él siempre había estado atraído por Kimberly Bach, y más ahora que sabía que había sido el primero en estar con ella, pero era tan cobarde como los demás, solo la miraban de lejos, la intocable e inalcanzable Kimberly Bach, solo le quedaba soñar con esa joven de piel blanca como la porcelana y cabello negro como el carbón.

¡Ay, hermano! debiste tener cuidado al elegir mujer, te puedes quedar sin amigos... sin hermano. Esa mujer es la más codiciada del país, si no pudieron protegerla de mi esos ocho, tú no podrás hacer nada.

Y con ese pensamiento un Jared lleno de rencor salió de esa habitación.

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge Novel Cover

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband's aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason's coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason's mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I'm starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

For seventeen years, I was the pride of the Carlisle family, the perfect daughter destined to inherit an empire. But that life ended the moment a DNA report slid across my father’s mahogany desk. The paper proved I was a stranger. Vanessa, the girl sobbing in the corner, was the real biological daughter they had been searching for. "You need to leave. Tonight. Before the press gets wind of this. Before the stock prices dip." My father’s voice was as cold as flint. My mother wouldn't even look at me, staring out the window at the gardens as if I were already a ghost. Just like that, I was erased. I left behind the Birkin bags and the diamonds, throwing my Centurion Card into a crystal bowl with a clatter that echoed like a gunshot. I walked out into the cold night and climbed into a rusted Ford Taurus driven by a man I had never met—my biological father. I went from a mansion to a fourth-floor walk-up in Queens that smelled of laundry detergent and struggle. My new siblings looked at me with a mix of fear and disgust, waiting for the "fallen princess" to break. They expected me to beg for my old life back, to crumble without the luxury I’d known since birth. But they didn't know the truth. I had spent years training in a shark tank, honing survival skills they couldn't imagine. While Richard Carlisle froze my trust funds to starve me out, my net worth was climbing by millions on an encrypted trading app. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves. They didn't realize they were just letting me off my leash. As the Carlisles prepared to debut Vanessa at the Manhattan Arts Gala, I was already making my move. "Get dressed. We're going to a party."
