The Accidental Heiress — Chapter 13

Whew, okay. If you just finished The Accidental Heiress - Chapter 12, you're definitely not alone if you're swimming in tears right now! 😭 This chapter hit readers *hard*, turning many into "ugly crying" messes. Even those who suspected what was coming (shoutout to the novel readers and those who spotted the terminal lucidity flag 👋) still felt that emotional "punch in the gut" when the Duchess sadly passed away.

Readers were deeply moved by how impactful the Duchess's character was, even in just a few chapters. Her last moments, especially that knowing reply about not seeing Riella tomorrow and her final appreciation for Neah, were particularly heartbreaking. Neah's presence and strength in those moments were also highlighted and appreciated. While incredibly sad, this chapter solidified the Duchess's place in readers' hearts, leaving everyone mourning the loss of this wonderfully written character. ❤️
