The rebirth of Natasha Berlin
“She died betrayed, broken, and with nothing left… then woke up with a second chance.”
Natasha Berlin once gave up everything for love, only to be destroyed by the man she trusted most. Betrayed by her husband, abandoned by those around her, and stripped of the future she fought for, her life ended in regret.
But fate gives her what no one else can—a second chance.
Reborn to the days before her downfall, Natasha is determined to rewrite her destiny. This time, she will not beg for love. She will not lose herself for a man. And she will claim the powerful Berlin empire that should have been hers.
There is only one problem.
To inherit the company, Natasha must be married.
Enter Sebastian Laurent—cold, powerful, dangerously unreadable, and carrying secrets of his own. His solution is simple: a contract marriage that benefits them both.
But revenge is easy.
Falling for the wrong man again could destroy everything.
In a world of wealth, betrayal, family power, and dangerous desire, Natasha must decide:
Will she use her second chance to win… or lose her heart all over again?

Chapter: Lines Already BlurringChapter ThirteenSebastianThe meeting had ended twenty minutes ago. Unfortunately, the silence left behind was far more irritating than the board members themselves. I stood near the floor-to-ceiling windows of my office with one hand tucked into my pocket while the city stretched endlessly beneath me. Cars moved like streams of light below, distant and insignificant compared to the thoughts currently occupying my mind.Natasha Berlin.She had insisted on handling Duncan herself and against my better judgment… I allowed it. Behind me, the soft sound of a tablet being set down broke the silence. My assistant, Marcus, stood near the desk with his usual composed posture.“The documents from the Zurich investors have been forwarded for review,” he informed professionally. “And the rescheduled board meeting has been moved to tomorrow morning.”I gave a slight nod without turning around. “Fine.” Marcus gave his usual respectful nod before turning to leave, but I stopped him before he reach

Chapter: A Dangerous ShiftChapter TwelveNatashaNot anymore.The realization settled deeply inside me as silence stretched between Duncan and I once again. For the first time in a long time, I no longer felt the urge to explain myself to him. I no longer felt desperate to make him understand my pain or regret what he had done.And maybe that was what truly marked the end of us.Because love could survive anger, It could survive arguments. Sometimes, it could even survive betrayal. But indifference? Nothing survived that.Duncan watched me carefully, his expression unreadable now, though I could tell my reaction—or lack of one—was beginning to unsettle him. He was too used to the old Natasha. The emotional Natasha. The woman who cried during arguments and softened whenever he lowered his voice and pretended to care.That version of me had loved him too much to walk away properly.This version? This version was tired.“You’ve changed,” he said again, quieter this time. I let out a faint breath and picked up my

Chapter: Cracks Beneath ControlChapter ElevenNatasha“How foolish had I been?”The thought lingered bitterly in my mind as Duncan slowly leaned back in his chair, watching me with the same composed expression that once made me feel secure. Now, all it did was irritate me.“Well,” he said casually after a moment of silence, “this is unexpected.”I almost laughed at that.Unexpected? As though he hadn’t been dragging this divorce out for weeks. As though he hadn’t ignored every call from my lawyer until now.“You’ve been avoiding the papers,” I said calmly, forcing my emotions to stay controlled. “So I decided to come personally.”Duncan studied me carefully before closing the document in front of him. “You could’ve called.”“I did.”“And now you’re here.” His lips curved slightly. “You must really want this divorce.”“I do.”For a brief moment, silence settled between us. The office suddenly felt too familiar. The scent of his cologne still lingered faintly in the air, mixed with coffee and expensive wood polish.

Chapter: Unfinished TiesChapter TenNatashaI still wasn’t sure how Sebastian intended to handle my divorce situation, but one thing was certain—I wasn’t about to let him step into that part of my life. Yes, I had signed the contract and Yes, I had agreed to the arrangement. But there were still boundaries and according to the very first clause in the agreement, both parties were expected to respect each other’s personal affairs unless necessary. This counted. Duncan was still technically my husband, and no matter how complicated things had become between us, I refused to let Sebastian Laurent walk into the middle of it like some untouchable savior.As Sebastian moved to leave the office, I stopped him quickly. “Why don’t I handle this myself?” I said. “He’s my husband anyway.” Sebastian paused mid-step before slowly turning back toward me. His expression remained calm as always, though I noticed the faint shift in his eyes.“I guess you still see him as your husband,” he replied evenly. “I thought you wante

Chapter: Contract and agreementChapter NineNatashaThe drive lasted longer than I expected.Or perhaps it only felt that way because my thoughts refused to stay still.Outside the tinted window, the city passed in restless motion—crowded streets, impatient traffic, tall buildings flashing by one after another. Inside the car, silence surrounded me. Soft leather seats, cool air, polished wood trim, a faint expensive scent lingering in the space.Very Sebastian.I glanced down at my phone again."Come with questions"That was all he had sent. No greeting. No explanation. No location. Just those three words, as if I was expected to follow without hesitation and somehow… I had. My fingers tapped lightly against my bag as my mind replayed last night for what felt like the hundredth time.How about we get married?Just calm certainty.Who asks that over dinner? Who says it so casually… and still manages to make it sound serious?The car slowed at last. I looked up absently through the glass—then froze. Before me stood

Chapter: Term And ConditionChapter EightNatashaSleep avoided me that night. No matter how many times I turned beneath the sheets or how tightly I shut my eyes, the same words kept returning to me.How about we get married?I opened my eyes with a groan and stared at the ceiling in disbelief. Who says something like that over dinner? Apparently, Sebastian Laurent did. Everything about the man felt unsettling in a way I could not explain. He spoke with the kind of calm confidence that made outrageous things sound reasonable. He dropped life-changing words with a straight face, then walked away as though he had merely commented on the weather.And the worst part was that I was actually considering it.I sat upright in bed and dragged a hand through my hair, trying to steady my thoughts.“This is insane,” I muttered into the quiet room.Yet the more I thought about it, the less insane it sounded. I needed a husband. He needed one too, or at least that was what he claimed. A contract marriage would solve my parent
