Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 507
“I swore an oath to Blood Oath. I was born with them, and I’ll die with them. I’m not the kind of person who betrays my own.”
Lydia turned her back on him. “Then we have nothing left to talk about. If you lay a finger on him, I won’t let it go.”
Iceblade stood out on the balcony, quiet and alone. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then just swallowed it down. Watching Lydia leave, he finally spoke up. “Blood Oath has issued the highest kill order. The target is Connor.”
Then he disappeared into the night.
Lydia’s heart clenched. She wasn’t the type to shy away from trouble, but a kill order from Blood Oath was a whole other level. Once it’s out, the target has to die, no matter what. It’s the group’s way of showing ultimate power. Every single assassin, every resource, would be thrown at this job until it was done.
No wonder Iceblade said he would sit this one out. All Blood Oath’s elites were after Connor tonight. Iceblade just hadn’t acted yet.
With the shape Connor was in, if Iceblade had made a move…
Lydia fell silent.

At three in the morning, Connor woke up to a stabbing pain in his chest. It felt like someone had ripped his heart out.
Outside the ICU, Lydia jolted upright as soon as she heard the monitor start beeping. She quickly pulled on a sterile gown and hurried inside. Chris rushed to get his own gown on, following right after.
“Connor!”
Connor blinked awake, and the first thing he saw was Lydia’s eyes above her mask, watching him closely. For a second, it felt like all the pain faded away. His heart felt weirdly light, almost happy. It was a strange, almost magical feeling.
“Lydia…” His voice came out rough and scratchy.
Lydia cut him off. “Shhh. You just woke up. You’re still really weak.”
“With you here, I’m not going anywhere,” Connor managed.
Lydia rolled her eyes, half exasperated, half relieved. “If you keep pushing yourself like this, even I couldn’t save you.”
Chris, always quick to catch on, jumped in. “I’ll get some food for him.”
He felt weird just hanging around while they flirted.
Lydia rattled off a short list of what Connor could eat. Chris listened carefully, then hurried out.
Now it was just the two of them. Lydia’s face turned serious again. “Who have you pissed off?”
Connor’s gaze grew darker, his voice low. “There are too many. Plenty of people want me dead.”
Lydia paused, thinking. “How many of them have money, power, and a real reason to want you gone?”
Connor went quiet, staring at the ceiling.
Lydia watched him for a moment, then spoke, certain. “You know exactly who it is, don’t you?”

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
