The rebirth of Natasha Berlin

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: Something Worth Choosing
Chapter Forty-Five.NatashaI had underestimated my mother.Completely.By Saturday morning, she had already sent me pictures of wedding dresses, venues, flowers, invitations, cakes, and table arrangements.I sat on the sofa staring at my phone."This woman is planning an entire country."Sebastian looked up from his newspaper."She seems efficient.""Don't encourage her.""I wouldn't dare."I narrowed my eyes."You were laughing yesterday.""I don't recall.""You absolutely were."He folded the newspaper."How many dresses?""Twenty-three."His eyebrows rose."That's excessive.""Thank you.""I meant twenty-three isn't enough."I stared at him.Then he smiled.I threw a cushion at him.He caught it effortlessly."Violence?""Deserved."He placed the cushion beside him."You have a busy day.""Apparently."He stood."Get ready."I frowned."Why?""We're meeting my mother.""Again?""She wants to discuss the wedding."I groaned."I knew this was coming."He walked toward the hallway."

Chapter: The Man Who Wouldn't Let Go
Chapter Forty-Four: DuncanThe file landed on the desk with a quiet thud.Duncan stared at it.He had been staring at the same documents for nearly an hour, but nothing seemed to make sense anymore.Everything was slipping, Natasha had changed. Sebastian had entered her life.And now there was another problem.Marriage.Again.He had heard about it that morning. Natasha and Sebastian were getting married. The news had reached him through someone he trusted, which made it even worse.Duncan leaned back in his chair."So it's happening."His assistant stood quietly across the room."Apparently."Duncan dismissed him with a gesture. When the door closed, he reached for his phone. He stared at Natasha's contact for several seconds.Then he called.No answer.He tried again.Nothing.His jaw tightened.A third attempt.Still nothing.He threw the phone onto the desk. This wasn't how it was supposed to happen. Natasha was supposed to remain trapped in the situation he'd created. The divorc

Chapter: The Decision Becomes Real
Chapter Forty-Three.NatashaBy the time we reached the apartment, I was still thinking about the dinner.Not the food.Not the teasing.Not even the fact that both families had been watching us like we were some sort of fascinating experiment.It was Sebastian's answer.We've decided to get married.He had said it so firmly.So naturally.As though the decision had already been made long before we sat at that table.I walked into the living room and dropped my handbag on the sofa.Sebastian closed the door behind us.For a few seconds, neither of us spoke.Then I turned around."You really said it."He loosened his tie."Yes.""You didn't even hesitate.""I didn't have a reason to."I stared at him."You know you just changed everything, right?"He looked at me."Did I?""Sebastian.""What?""You just told our families we're getting married.""I know.""And you're acting like we just agreed on what to have for breakfast."His lips twitched."Breakfast is more complicated."I stared a

Chapter: A Decision We Didn't Plan
Chapter Forty-Two.NatashalI woke up the next morning with a strange feeling.Not happiness exactly.Something quieter.Something that had settled somewhere deep inside me and refused to leave. I stared at the ceiling for several seconds before remembering the previous night.Dinner.The laughter.Sebastian admitting that he liked it. And the way he'd looked at me when I told him I liked simply being with him. I covered my face with both hands."What are you doing, Natasha?" I was talking to myself again. That wasn't a good sign. I finally got out of bed and walked toward the bathroom. By the time I finished getting ready, I had convinced myself that I was overthinking everything.It had been one dinner.One good evening.That was all.Except when I walked into the kitchen, Sebastian was already there. And somehow, seeing him made the apartment feel different. He stood by the counter, reading something on his tablet while drinking his coffee.He glanced at me."Good morning.""Mornin

Chapter: Dinner date
Chapter forty one.Natasha.The restaurant was quiet and elegant, tucked away from the busiest part of the city. It wasn't overly formal, which immediately made me relax.As we settled into our seats, I looked around."This is nice.""I thought you'd prefer somewhere quiet.""You remembered?""Apparently, I'm becoming thoughtful."I laughed."Don't let it get to your head."Dinner passed more easily than either of us expected. We talked about everything except work. We argued over which dessert to order. I insisted on chocolate cake. Sebastian wanted cheesecake.Eventually, we ordered both."You know," I said, laughing as I watched him take another bite of cheesecake, "for someone who pretends to be disciplined, you're doing very well.""I changed my mind.""About what?""I've decided I like being irresponsible occasionally."I smiled."See? I'm improving your life already.""Debatable.""You came out for dinner on a weekday.""I did.""You ate dessert.""Yes.""You smiled at least f

Chapter: An Ordinary Evening
Chapter FortyNatashaThe following morning began more quietly than I expected.For the first time in weeks, I woke before my alarm, and for several minutes, I simply lay there staring at the ceiling. Yesterday's meeting with Duncan kept returning to my mind—the way he had refused to sign the divorce papers, the strange fear that had crossed his face, and the phone calls he had ignored while sitting across from me.Something about it still bothered me.Not because Duncan had refused to cooperate. I had already learned that expecting anything reasonable from him was a waste of energy. What unsettled me was how different he had seemed. Duncan had always been confident, sometimes to the point of arrogance. He had never been the kind of man who allowed anyone to see him afraid.Yet yesterday, I had seen fear in his eyes, I rolled onto my side and sighed. Perhaps I was thinking too much about it, That had become a habit lately.I pushed the covers aside and headed toward the bathroom, dete
