REBORN TO CLAIM WHAT'S MINE

REBORN TO CLAIM WHAT'S MINE

Elena Hart had everything - beauty, wealth, and a fiancé who promised her forever. Until her stepsister, Chloe, and her fiancé, Marcus, conspired to kill her on the eve of her wedding, throwing her off a yacht to steal her father's billion-dollar empire. But death didn't take her. Elena wakes up three years in the past, one week before her father's mysterious death - the same death that started her downfall. This time, she remembers everything. With cold eyes and a burning heart, she vows: She will not be the naive heiress anymore. She will protect her father, reclaim her company, and make those who betrayed her pay. Her weapon? The most dangerous billionaire in New York - Damian Wolfe, the man her stepsister desperately wants, the man who was once her father's rival. He offers her a contract: Be his fake fiancée to escape his own arranged marriage, and he will help her destroy her enemies. What starts as revenge and a deal slowly becomes an obsession. But as Elena gets closer to the truth, she discovers her father's death was not an accident, and Damian has been connected to her family far longer than she ever knew.

Chapter: Chapter 13: MY FATHER'S DISAPPEARANCE
My father was missing.I stared at Damian, waiting for him to tell me he was mistaken.But he didn't."Take me home," I demanded."Elena—""Now, Damian!"He gave the driver an order, and the SUV immediately changed direction.I couldn't stop staring at my phone. I had called my father three times, but every call went straight to voicemail.Something was wrong.My father never ignored my calls, especially at night."What exactly happened?" I asked.Damian glanced at me."My security team arrived at your father's residence twenty minutes ago. The front door was open, and his study had been ransacked.""Was there any sign of a struggle?""Some broken furniture. A shattered glass. Nothing else."I swallowed."Did they find blood?""No."I closed my eyes briefly.Please, Dad. Be alive.Victoria shifted beside me."There's something you should know."I turned towards her."What?""Your father received a phone call shortly before he disappeared.""From whom?"She hesitated."Your mother."My

Chapter: Chapter 12: THE WOMAN WHO CAME BACK
The words echoed in my head.Your mother has just been found.For several seconds, I couldn't move.My mother had been dead for fifteen years. I had attended her funeral. I had cried over her grave. I had spent years learning to live with the emptiness she left behind.And now Damian was telling me she was alive?"Explain what you just said," I whispered.Damian glanced around the ballroom."Not here."I grabbed his arm."No. You don't get to say something like that and expect me to follow you without an explanation. Where is my mother?""Elena, listen to me. We need to leave before whoever brought this information here realizes we know.""Who brought it?"His eyes moved towards the crowd."Victoria."I turned towards the woman in the silver gown.She was standing near one of the pillars, watching us with an expression I couldn't understand."Why would Victoria know anything about my mother?""Because she's the reason we have this information."Before I could ask another question, Vic

Chapter: Chapter 11: THE NIGHT EVERYONE WATCHED US
I stared at Damian's message for several seconds before locking my phone.Our first public appearance as an engaged couple.I had barely agreed to become his fake fiancée, and somehow, the entire city already knew about it."Elena?"My father's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.I looked up from my phone."Are you sure about this engagement?" he asked.I forced a smile. "Yes, Dad."He leaned back in his chair, studying me carefully."Damian Wolfe isn't an ordinary man. His family has a complicated history with ours, and I don't want you getting caught in something you don't understand."I frowned."Then tell me what happened between our families."His expression changed."Not now, Elena."I sighed. "You always say that."He reached across the desk and held my hand."Just promise me you'll be careful."I nodded, although I knew I wouldn't be able to keep that promise if protecting him required taking risks.My phone vibrated again.Damian Wolfe: Your car will arrive at seven. Don't ke

Chapter: Chapter 10: CONTRACT WITH DAMIAN WOLFE
I stared at Damian, waiting for him to explain the expression that had briefly crossed his face.Fear.It was gone now, replaced by the familiar cold composure of a man who rarely allowed anyone to read his emotions."Is there something you want to tell me?" I asked.His eyes moved to my phone."Who sent you that message?""An unknown number.""Show me."I hesitated before handing him my phone.He read both messages without changing his expression. However, when his eyes reached the second one, his jaw tightened."What happened between your family and mine fifteen years ago?" I asked.Damian returned my phone."That's not a conversation we should have here.""Convenient.""Elena, if I wanted to deceive you, I wouldn't have offered you a choice.""Then give me a reason to trust you."He studied me for several seconds."Because the people trying to take your father's company won't stop simply because you ask them to."His words struck a nerve.I thought about the forged authorization, M

Chapter: Chapter 9: THE DEVIL'S OFFER
“Chloe, sit down.”My father's voice was calm, but the anger beneath it was impossible to miss.Chloe stood beside Marcus, her fingers nervously twisting the bracelet around her wrist. Marcus, on the other hand, looked completely composed.The forged authorization form lay on my father's desk.“Would you care to explain why your name appears on this document?” Dad asked Chloe.She glanced at the paper before looking at me.“I already explained. Elena asked Marcus to help her.”“I never did,” I replied.Marcus sighed. “Elena, this is getting ridiculous. You know how much pressure you've been under lately. Perhaps you simply forgot.”“I may forget where I leave my keys, Marcus, but I don't forget signing documents that give someone access to my family's confidential accounts.”His expression tightened.Then he reached into his jacket and placed his phone on the desk.“I anticipated this argument. I have a recording.”He pressed play.My voice filled the room.“Marcus, I trust you. You c

Chapter: Chapter 8: THE SIGNATURE THAT WASN'T MINE
I stared at the initials in the corner of the note.C.H.Chloe Hart.Once Elena agrees, Richard will have no reason to interfere.My stepsister wasn't merely aware of Marcus's plans. She was involved.But why would my agreement make Dad stop interfering?Unless they intended to use my name and position to push him aside.I took a photograph of the note before carefully returning it to the folder.I wasn't going to confront Chloe. Not yet.If they believed I was still the trusting girl they remembered, I would let them continue believing it.The first thing I needed was information.The next morning, I found Mr. Bennett in his office."Miss Elena. Good morning.""Good morning. I wanted to ask about Marcus's management proposal."His expression changed slightly."Mr. Cole's proposal?""Yes. Did Dad request it?""Your father asked me to prepare some company reports for you. The preliminary proposal was among the documents Mr. Cole submitted.""Did Dad approve it?""Not to my knowledge."
