Reborn to ruin the man who broke me
Synopsis
Nora Calloway died in an asylum, betrayed by the people she trusted most. Her husband, Jude, had ruined her life, while her half-sister Ivy helped tear everything away from her. Her father had also taken control of the company that should have been hers.
Then Nora wakes up twenty-five again, on the very morning she is supposed to become engaged to Jude.
This time, she refuses to follow the path that led to her death.
Instead of marrying Jude, Nora walks into the office of his powerful uncle, Theo Whitfield, and offers him a deal. She plans to reclaim her mother's company and gives Theo a chance to gain permanent control of it. In return, she wants his help destroying the man who once destroyed her.
But Theo has another condition: marriage.
A contract marriage to her former fiancé's uncle becomes the foundation of Nora's revenge. With Theo's power and resources behind her, she begins taking back what was stolen from her while Jude and Ivy struggle to understand how the quiet woman they knew became someone they can no longer control.
But Nora's memories give her an advantage—and a dangerous secret. She knows exactly what they did in her first life.
What she doesn't know is how far Theo will go once his contractual wife becomes someone he actually wants to protect.
Nora came back to change her fate.
This time, she intends to make everyone who broke her pay.

Chapter: Chapter 13 : The truth he kept from meTheo POVThe first thing I noticed was the silence.Patricia had been in my office for almost ten minutes, and neither of us had said a word.The documents were spread across my desk.Calloway Holdings.Again.Three years ago, I had thought I was making an investment.Now I wasn't sure what I had actually bought myself into.Patricia turned another page.“These transfers happened within six months of Helena Calloway's death.”I stared at the figures.“Who authorized them?”“That is the problem.”She pointed to the signature.“It carries Helena's name, but the authorization records don't match.”I frowned.“Forgery?”“Possibly.”“Possibly isn't good enough.”“I know.”She placed another document beside it.“This company was one of the subsidiaries you invested in.”I looked at the name.I remembered it.I remembered Damian recommending the investment. I remembered trusting him because I had been desperate enough to believe that accepting his help would solve my problems.I had been wro

Chapter: Chapter 12 : The sister who was watchingNora POVIvy didn't stay for breakfast.By the time I looked toward the hallway again, she was gone.I didn't ask where she went.The old Nora would have.She would have followed her upstairs, knocked on her door, and asked if everything was alright. She would have worried about the look on Ivy's face and blamed herself for it.I didn't.I had learned something after dying.People rarely showed you the truth when you asked for it.They showed you when they thought you weren't watching.And Ivy had been watching me.So I watched her back.I found her in the sitting room an hour later.She was standing near the window with her phone in her hand. Her back was turned to me, and she looked completely still.Too still.I stopped in the doorway.“Ivy.”She turned quickly.For half a second, something flashed across her face.Fear.Then it disappeared.“Nora.”She smiled.It was the same smile she had used on me for years.Soft.Careful.Almost innocent.“How are you feeling after last night?

Chapter: Chapter 11 : The price of being his wifeNora POVThe Whitfield mansion felt different the morning after dinner.Or maybe I was the one who had changed.I stood in front of the mirror, fastening the buttons of my blouse while the memory of last night replayed in my head.Jude's face.Ivy's careful concern.Theo's voice when he had called me his wife.I had expected anger.I had expected questions.What I had not expected was silence.No one had knocked on my door. No one had come looking for another fight. Even the servants seemed more careful around me, as though they were waiting to see what kind of woman would walk out of my room.The old Nora would have been nervous.She would have wondered what everyone was saying about her.I didn't.I had spent too much of my first life worrying about what people thought.I opened the door.Theo was standing outside.I stopped.He looked at me for a moment before glancing toward the hallway.“Breakfast is downstairs.”“I can feed myself.”“I know.”“Then why are you here?”His express

Chapter: Chapter 10 : The first family dinnerChapter 10: The First Family DinnerNora’s POVThe Whitfield mansion looked exactly the way I remembered it.Too grand.Too polished.Too full of people who smiled while deciding where to place the knife.The first time I had walked through these doors, I had been Jude’s fiancée.I had spent the entire evening trying to prove that I belonged.Tonight, I walked through them as Theo Whitfield’s wife.The difference was almost amusing.I adjusted the sleeve of my dress as Theo walked beside me. He had said very little since we left the office, but he had not once asked if I was nervous.Maybe he already knew I wasn't.Or perhaps he simply understood that I was no longer the woman they remembered.The doors opened before us.Conversation drifted from the dining room.Then stopped.Every head turned.For one brief second, nobody said anything.I could almost hear their thoughts.So that's her.She actually married Theo.What happened to Jude?I kept my expression calm.Theo's hand settled

Chapter: The boardroomTheo's POVBy nine in the morning, every seat in the boardroom was occupied.That alone told me how seriously they were taking Damian's request.The long table was surrounded by men and women who had spent years learning how to smile while sharpening knives beneath the table. Some had served under my father. Others had been waiting for the day they could question my decisions without having to pretend they trusted me.Today, they didn't have to pretend.Nora sat beside me.Her posture was straight, her hands folded neatly in her lap.She looked calm.I knew better.The doors closed behind us.At the far end of the table, Damian sat with the same relaxed expression he'd worn in my office yesterday.As though none of this concerned him.I took my seat.Nora followed.Patricia stood at the head of the table with a folder in her hands."The purpose of this emergency meeting," she began, "is to review concerns raised regarding the legitimacy and circumstances surrounding the marriage betwe

Chapter: The name in the ledgerPOV: TheoThe board meeting was scheduled for nine in the morning.By eight thirty, I already knew it wasn't going to be about the marriage.Not entirely.Patricia had sent me the agenda before sunrise.Review of the Whitfield-Calloway marriage.The wording was almost insulting.A legal review would have been enough if they were actually concerned about the legitimacy of the marriage. But an emergency full-board meeting meant something else.Someone wanted a spectacle.Someone wanted me questioned in front of people who had spent years waiting for an opportunity to challenge me.I closed the message and looked across my office.Nora was standing by the window.She had been quiet since we left the room last night.Not frightened.Thinking.There was a difference."You're going to ask me something," I said.She turned."I've been trying to decide if I should.""That's usually when people ask."Her mouth twitched, but the expression disappeared quickly."Why does Damian know so much abou
