The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1046:

Elsewhere, Gracie pushed open her apartment door to nothing but silence. Emptiness pressed in on her from every side. Her father was gone, murdered by Hector, and revenge felt far beyond her reach. Ethan, the man she loved, seemed to be slipping away with each passing day. It left her feeling broken and hopeless. More than once lately, she had stared out the window and wondered what it would feel like to just give up and end everything.

Still, a stubborn flame burned inside her. She longed to make Hector pay and to win Ethan’s love. She couldn’t just die.

Restless nights became routine, haunted by these thoughts. Only wine and sleeping pills could bring her some rest.

She wandered to the wine rack, pulled out a bottle of red, and quickly removed the cork before filling her glass. The first glass disappeared quickly, followed by another. Before long, only a little remained in the bottle, but sleep still wouldn’t come.

Just then, the shrill ring of her phone startled her, echoing through the apartment. Inside, hope fluttered. Maybe Ethan was calling her.

She reached for the phone, clinging to that tiny hope, but the screen showed only an unfamiliar number.
