JACQUE RHODES

I was three espresso shots deep into my morning meeting when the chaos started.

The giant screen in my office blinked to life with the live feed. All twelve board members fell into hush as the press conference came into view—Rebel, or as the world had just been reintroduced to her, Catie Rhodes, stood on that podium like she was born on it and ready to burn it down.

And oh, did she burn it down.

“Turn it up,” I said, chuckling into my espresso. The intern nearly tripped trying to obey. The moment the volume hit an audible range, Rebel's voice sliced through the room.

“Yes, legally, I’m Catie Rhodes. But let’s stop pretending I’ve lived her life. I’m Rebel. And if that makes you uncomfortable, sit with it.”

I let out a full-blown ha!—and I don’t ha! often. The board members glanced at each other nervously. One man—the one who always orders chicken salad without the chicken—leaned toward me.

“Sir… Shouldn’t we be worried?”

I wiped my eyes. “Worried? Hell no.

    MIA Manipulative assignment isn't exactly what I'd honestly choose to do today; it wasn’t the smartest idea, but I haven't exactly trafficked in smart decisions lately, as things are spiralling out of control too fast. I am failing on issued deadlines, Rebel is not affected, and I've not gotten even a little close to Daniel. Standing in front of Robert’s penthouse door, heels clicking softly against marble, I looked like I belonged in a Vogue spread—tight black skirt, low-cut silk blouse, and a red lip that could kill at ten paces—but underneath the gloss, my heart was pounding in a way I hadn’t felt in years, not since Daniel, truly. I wasn’t here for pleasure, not officially. This was a strategy to help myself and look out for me. Killian was unstable. Louisa was manipulative. And Robert? He was the wildcard, which was exactly why I needed him. I knocked softly, and he opened the door in a black shirt, sleeves rolled up to his forearms, casual in a way that somehow

    CATYA I yawn and stretch as my body ache reminds me of my decision last night to finally come find Klaus and seduce him to put an end to our years of misunderstandings at least for the sake of our daughter yet he's nowhere to be found now. There’s something downright insulting about waking up alone after amazing sex especially when you wake up glowing like literally glowing, skin like satin, lips still swollen, thighs tender and the man responsible for said glow is... gone..... Poof. I rolled over, hair a tangled halo around my head, and stared at the crumpled space Klaus had occupied just hours earlier. Still warm, like a cruel joke; the scent of him clung to the pillow like a ghost musk, cedarwood, a hint of whatever designer aftershave he always refused to name. No note. No text. Just an empty glass on the nightstand and my pride shriveling wrinkled aged woman. “Of course,” I muttered, dragging myself out of bed, still naked, and mentally calculating how many minutes it w

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 72: FALLING BACK TOGETHER

    KLAUSThe rain was loud tonight—louder than usual. It tapped against my window like a restless reminder that peace was a damn myth. I sat on the edge of my couch in the dimness of my apartment, fingers rubbing at the tension between my brows. Storms like this always brought her back.Catya.It had been years since the divorce. Since she detonated our life with one choice. One betrayal. The kind that didn’t just hurt; it destroyed me. She hadn’t just ruined us; she ruined my best friend, my brother in all but blood.And still... I couldn’t forget her. Couldn’t erase the way her laugh used to make the world feel lighter. Or how her touch had once been home. I hated that part of me still craved her, still reached for her ghost in the dark.I let out a heavy breath, running a hand through my hair, gripping it tighter than necessary. I’d tried everything to forget: nights out, silence, and work, yet nothing helped. Every time it rained, it all came flooding back: her smile, her lies, her

    KILLIANI was sipping lukewarm espresso from a porcelain mug when the door creaked open; no knock, no announcement, just the kind of arrogance I usually admired if I wasn’t already sick of it.“You’re not easy to find,” said the woman in red stilettos and cigarette perfume. Louisa..... I had my men investigate everyone around Rebel so I know who she is.I leaned back. “You break into every apartment you find or just the ones with better lighting?”“You call this better lighting?” came another voice, smoother, cooler.... Mia, another foe of Rebel's She closed the door behind her and stepped inside like she’d been here before; she hadn’t.... I would’ve remembered her. Blonde hair too perfect, eyes like frozen water, pretty, empty, big tities....I placed my mug down slowly. “If you’re selling candies, I’m full. If it’s threats, get in line.”Louisa dropped her handbag on my table like it was her office. “Neither. We’re here to talk about Rebel.”I didn’t blink. “That’s a mistake.”“Is

    DANIELThat evening, when the children were tucked in bed and silence had fallen over our home, I found Rebel in our bedroom, getting dressed in something more comfortable; a silky satin gown that hugged her curves in all the right places. After childbirth, her body has become so curvy and sophisticated. The soft light fell on her in a warm sheen on skin as she turned with the elegance that made my heart thud. She caught me looking in the mirror over her shoulder. "Think I look okay?" she asked, turning slightly to reveal more. "Stunning," I told her, my voice deep and gritty with need. As she came up, the fabric glimmered on her body, accentuating her addictive figure. She came close and playfully tugged on my shirt an invitation that was laced with teasing. "Wanna come with me?" she breathed, her body heat on my ear as she leaned against me. In an instant, that tension between us flared like fire and fuel. My hands circled her waist, pulling her forward until not a single space rema

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 69: BACKGROUND CHECK

    DANIEL It wasn't the wine we'd had at the restaurant. It wasn't even Carly's continued suspicion of my motives after all — although that in itself could've soured the heavenly crème brûlée. It was something else that bothered the back of my mind the moment we left the restaurant. Something slashing. Cold. Killian. I grasped Rebel's hand in my own as we walked toward the car, but my focus wasn't on her warmth tonight. Not entirely. It was on the way he had gazed at her for just a fraction of a second too long. The way he said her name was like he had a right to remember it intimately. "Daniel," Rebel murmurs, sliding into the backseat with a contented sigh. "That wasn't half bad; I had no idea Mother was capable of apologising." I laugh. "Which part?" She grins, "All of it. The food. The apology. The emotional bonding – I have a brother, an adopted brother." I chuckled, but my hand never left her back. That was the thing about Rebel—she burnt so bright that I wonder sometimes i
