The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella)

After Mirabella thumbed through the documents, she wasn't the least bit surprised. From the moment those scandalous photos hit her inbox that afternoon, she'd already pieced together why Delilah had left the Cunningham family. It was just another classic tale of high-society drama-schemes, betrayals, and the ruthless battle for power.

Mirabella knew Delilah all too well-honest to a fault, direct, with no time for mind games. She was young and a bit too trusting when it came to family, which made her an easy target for manipulation, leading to her disgrace and exile.

It seemed like every big family had these same issues, where nothing was too sacred in the cutthroat pursuit of wealth and status. Mirabella set the documents aside, a sly grin forming as she decided it was time to pay a visit to this so-called 'aunt' of hers. She wasn't sure why her 'aunt' had sent those photos, but if someone was stirring up trouble, she wasn't about to let it slide.

She fiddled with the pendant around her neck, a cold glint briefly flashing in her eyes. After a moment of contemplation, she swiveled back to her desk and powered up her computer. Her fingers danced over the keyboard, and before long, she had permanently deleted a few files. Once that was done, she logged out of the system and closed her laptop.

Time seemed to fly by. Before Kitty could make any moves against Mirabella, trouble had already cropped up with Donald Cunningham. After a post-op infection that had initially improved thanks to Conrad's medication, everyone— from family to doctors-had been optimistic about his recovery. But just two days after discharge, Donald suddenly collapsed and went into shock.

Thankfully, he was rushed to the hospital in the nick of time. Although they managed to save him, he was still in critical condition, with several alarming indicators in his body.noveldrama

Kitty, Austin, and a few other Cunningham cousins were huddled in Dr. Ray's office, anxiously waiting for the detailed results. The tension in the room was thick, each of them wearing different expressions of worry and confusion.

Dr. Ray finally broke the uneasy silence as he walked in with the report. Kitty was the first to approach him. "Dr. Ray, what's going on with my dad?" she asked, her voice tinged with urgency.

Dr. Ray gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder before turning to the last page of the report. "The results indicate a sudden fainting spell caused by a drug reaction."

"A drug reaction? What exactly does that mean?" Austin interjected, his brow furrowed in confusion.

"In simple terms, an adverse reaction," Dr. Ray clarified.

"But my dad was strictly on the meds you prescribed, Dr. Ray," Kitty insisted, biting her lip in frustration. "How could this happen?"

Adjusting his glasses, Dr. Ray remained calm. "I remember you mentioned Donald was also taking some medication from the pharmacy? Has he continued with those since being discharged?"

Kitty, unsure, glanced at Austin for confirmation. Sensing her look, Austin faced Dr. Ray, his voice firm. "Yes, he's been taking them. But there's no way the pharmacy's meds are to blame!"

Austin had seen Donald improve with the medication and had even checked with Mr. Keller to ensure it was safe before continuing its use. He was almost instinctively skeptical that the medication could be the culprit.
