Rex’s POV

I leaned back in my chair, watching the headlines roll in across the monitors. Jenny’s face is everywhere, and Rachel’s arrogance caught in those clips, replayed on the screen mockingly—the cafeteria event and video, while internet warriors make the comparisons. The storm I’d been waiting for, and I've waited for Jenny to take action all this time. Finally.

A smile crept across my lips. “Yes,” I murmured. “That’s my girl.”

“Sir?” Ethan stepped into my office, his tablet in his hand.

“Is everything ready?”

He nodded. “The clips are lined up—cafeteria, school throwbacks, your project montage. I can push them in waves.”

“Do it,” I said.

Ethan hesitated. “Sir, if we send all of this, the internet will come for you, too. People will connect it back. They’ll drag your name as well”

“Let them,” I cut him off. My voice was steadily calm. “Let them drag me. This is the beginning of the Madison family’s problems.” Ethan studied me for a while, then nodded and left to execute th

  • Bad boy CEO'S second chance    Chapter 56

    Jenny’s POVThe night wind was soft against my skin, brushing my hair across my face as I stood beside Rex on the rooftop. The city glittered below us, a thousand lights shimmering like they were reflecting my heartbeat — uneven, nervous, alive.He hadn’t said a word in a while. Just stood there, his eyes fixed on the skyline, hands tucked into his pockets like he was holding himself together. There was a quietness in him I had never seen before — not the calm of a powerful man, but the stillness of someone trying not to break. “Jenny,” he finally said, his voice barely a whisper. I turned to look at him, and the moment our eyes met, everything around us faded — the wind, the city, even time itself. He took a step closer. Then another. “Do you regret all of this?” he asked softly. I wanted to say yes. To say I regretted ever letting him back in, ever believing that love could heal what it once shattered. But I couldn’t lie. Not when he was looking at me like that. “No,” I breath

  • Bad boy CEO'S second chance    Chapter 55

    Chapter 55 Rex’s POV I hate it when people talk ill of Jenny—the woman I truly love. For days, I’ve tried to ignore the online chaos. The endless debates, the heartless comments, the fans who’ve turned our private lives into a battlefield. Half of the internet praises her as if she were some goddess who saved me. The other half drags her name through the mud, calling her things no woman deserves to be called. Every time I scroll, I see her face—and their cruelty burns deeper. Jenny has done nothing but exist with a grace this world doesn’t deserve. And yet, she’s the one being crucified for my choices. I can’t stand it anymore. Before I can talk myself out of it, I pick up my phone and dial her number. It rings once. She answers. Her voice, soft and composed, sends a pulse through me. “Sir?” “Can you please come to my office?” I say, my tone sharper than intended. I hang up before I can hear her reply. Minutes later, there’s a faint knock. “Come in,” I say. She

  • Bad boy CEO'S second chance    Chapter 54

    Jenny’s POV The room was so silent after Rex’s words that I swore I could hear the beating of my own heart. “I am Rexford Jordan Knight… and the woman sitting there, Jenny Walker, is my fiancée.” His words still echoed in my head, like a bell that refused to stop ringing. Everyone stared at me. Some with wide eyes, some with tight lips, some with pity, and others with envy so sharp I could feel it piercing my skin. My throat was dry, but I sat perfectly still. Rex didn’t even flinch. His aura filled the room like a wall no one dared to break through. When he finally dismissed the meeting, people filed out with hushed murmurs. No one dared speak loudly, but their glances said enough. “She’s really the fiancée?” “So it’s true…” “No wonder Rachel Madison has been restless…” “But he looks serious, did you see his eyes?” I wanted to melt into the floor. Back in my office, I locked the door and sank into my chair. My phone buzzed like it had gone mad. Dozens of notifications—Twit

  • Bad boy CEO'S second chance    Chapter 53

    Jenny’s POVI should have hated him.Every fiber of my being screamed that I should still hate him for what he did all those years ago. For the humiliation, for the betrayal, for the moment my world crashed down in high school when I discovered the truth—that Rexford Jordan Knight, the boy I loved, the boy I trusted with every heartbeat, had made a bet with his friends to win my heart. And he won. He won me. He had me, completely, before I learned it was all a game. Except it wasn’t—not to him. Not fully. He had tried to explain, stumbling over words, swearing that he was already in love with me long before the bet, that he never wanted me to find out like that. But by then, I was broken. His words were knives and his love felt like poison. So I walked away. And I never wanted to see him again. Until now. Until this man standing in front of me—the same boy, yet so much more dangerous. Rexford Knight, the CEO, the mysterious J who had been lurking in my shadows for years, pro
