REBECCA'S POVI always knew there was a part of me that was off—maybe nuts, if we're being honest. But I never thought I'd live to see the day I'd have to drag out my inner psycho... as a defense mechanism."Get the heck out of my company, you crazy freak. I'm so ashamed to even call you my ex-wife." Felix glared at me like an object he wanted to get rid of in the next minute. But unfortunately for him, we were both stuck in the game.The only way to end it? Oh well, there's no end until I'm no longer on the face of this earth."Trust me, the feeling is mutual." I let out a hiss, tilting my face away from his. "How did I ever marry such a lying, selfish, and ungrateful bastard?"Anna's mouth fell wide open with the collective gasp from everyone that was present."When I let you pitch my designs for free without claiming ownership of my work, you didn't think I was a freak."Felix flinched again, his eyes sliding off Anna, then back, eyeing me sharply when he heard the whispers from ev

REBECCA'S POV"She's..." The receptionist gulped, her lips quivered against my gaze as we stared at each other.My hands against her collar tightened, tugging her forward, and her nails squeaked against the table.I arched a brow, nodding once—slow, expectant—urging her to continue, even as the last threads of patience slipped from my grasp."Mr. Felix is in the conference room. He's having a meeting with all the shareholders and the stakeholders..." she rambled.My eyes wandered away from her desk toward the elevator as my hands loosened their grip on her shirt.The receptionist scrambled to her feet, her hands brushing against her shirt as she tugged it straight, and then she cleared her throat."Please, you can't tell... you can't tell Mr. Felix I told you or else he'll fire me."I grinned, my elbows pressed against the table, letting my gaze trail back toward the receptionist.She stiffened, her eyes locked straight against mine, and her throat bulged again."Sweetheart, you don't

REBECCA'S POV"Shut up. You have no right to bargain," the leader grunted, his body swaying from side to side.His hands were still fixed on his crotch, and I could see his teeth dragging against his bottom lip.The feral glare in his eyes was a clear revelation that if given the opportunity, he was going to eat me alive."Down, boy. I'm discussing business," I forced a smile.From my bound wrists, I could see the ticking of the clock. Every moment was a dreadful reminder that time was running out. If I stayed here any longer, I might miss my chance.I could not let Felix get what he wanted—especially today of all days."You've heard of Belmont, right?" I tilted my head toward the remaining two who were still watching me with interest.My senses were dulling due to the crusted robe that was tied around my stomach, fixing me to the chair.Every breath was painful, and it squeezed my lungs, but there was no way I could show them any weakness."Belmont?" they repeated in hushed whispers,

REBECCA’S POVRing! Ring! Ring!The alarm clock buzzed like a drill against my skull, and I slammed my hand down on it without a second thought.My eyes snapped open. “Monday. Finally.” The word slipped past my lips in a quiet breath.This wasn’t just Felix’s big day. It was mine too. A day I had been waiting for—plotting, planning, perfecting every move. And now it was here.The weekend had blurred by faster than I’d liked. Jessica was probably buried back in work already. As for Kendrick… I hadn’t seen or heard from him since the orphanage.Not that it mattered. Why should I care where he went?I slid open my wardrobe, fingers grazing past fabrics until they landed on the suit. Red. My color. Power. Fire. Control.The blazer shimmered faintly with gold embroidery that kissed the cuffs and collar. I paired it with sleek silver heels that could break bones if stepped on wrong. A matching bag. Gold-trimmed.Royalty. Precision. Unshakable presence.I clipped on a pair of earrings just a

REBECCA’S POV“Still don’t want my help?” Kendrick’s voice coiled into my ears like smoke, thick and unnecessary. I snapped my head toward him, the sting of irritation sharpening my face.He was being insufferable—like a five-year-old denied his favorite toy. Or worse, like my son Will when he didn’t get dessert. Just my luck. Babysitting the Reyes siblings on a supposed day off.Maybe this was a mistake. No, scratch that. This was a mistake. I should’ve been in my room, piecing together Felix’s downfall like the goddamn tactician I am, not playing chauffeur games with Mr. Ego and Miss Cuteness.The car door flew open and Jessica stormed out, her heels clacking hard against the pavement.“Kendrick! Why are you so evil?” she shrieked as she rushed toward me.I was still on the ground, wincing at the ache blooming in my butt.Jessica pulled me up with a huff, brushing imaginary dust off me like I was some porcelain doll she accidentally cracked.“I only did what she asked,” Kendrick m

REBECCA'S POVJessica stood in front of the mirror, spinning slowly in her short, candy-pink dress, a hopeful grin plastered across her face."So how do I look?" she asked, batting her lashes like she hadn’t asked me that three times already.I barely glanced up from my phone, lifting a lazy thumb in her direction. "It’s perfect, Jess. Can we go now? Your list is a mile long and we haven’t even made it past the door."She huffed and swatted at the air like I’d just insulted her entire bloodline. "Oh please, don’t be a killjoy."But the moment she turned back to the mirror, I saw it—her smile faltered, her fingers fidgeted at the hem of her dress, and that familiar look of insecurity crept onto her face."I think this dress is making me look fat," she murmured, inspecting herself with a scrunched nose. "I should change."I groaned and flopped back onto the bed, arms wide. "There she goes again." I waved a hand in surrender as she made a beeline for my side of the closet. Not hers—mine.
