REBIRTH OF THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE THEY SAID YOU WERE DEAD
Chapter 53"If you don't get the chicken soup, I'm locking you out of the building," I said, cradling the phone between my shoulder and ear as I smoothed a piece of fabric over the dress form in front of me.Alex’s low, warm laugh buzzed against my eardrum. "Message received. One chicken soup, extra sides. Should I grab those little espresso tarts you pretend you’re only buying for the studio staff?""First of all, I do share them," I argued, a genuine smile pulling at my lips as I used my free hand to make a quick snip into the hem with my shears. "Clara gets at least two. But yes. Get eight. And don't be late, Maguire, I’m starving.""Yes, ma'am," Alex murmured, his tone dropping into that soft, playful lilt that always made my chest feel ridiculously light. "Anything else I can fetch for you, my lady?""Nothing at the moment, just—"A sudden, sharp commotion cut through the heavy oak doors of my private office."Sir! Wait! Sir, you can't just go in there!" Clara’s voice rang out, f
REBIRTH OF THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE THE DEADLY SURPRISE
Chapter 52KADE LANNISTER The tinted windows of the Maybach turned the bright city skyline into a dull, muted grey.I leaned my head back against the leather headrest, my fingers loosely holding the leather-bound file on my lap. I was irritated. Infuriated, if I was being honest with myself.Lannister Global didn't chase people. We didn't negotiate for almost a year over a mid-sized, independent fashion house, and we certainly didn't get slapped away like a persistent fly by a company barely five years old. Usually, when my family snapped its fingers, people folded. They took the nine-figure checks, signed over their life’s work, and smiled for the press release.But Sterling? Sterling’s leadership kept throwing every single one of my offers straight back into my face without even opening the terms.It was insulting. And I was tired of playing from behind a desk in Manhattan. If Alex Maguire thought he could hide behind cold email rejections, he was about to learn how small he really
REBIRTH OF THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE REJECT THE LANNISTER'S OFFER
Chapter 51"I swear, your PR inbox is where corporate optimism goes to die," Alex said, leaning his hip against the edge of my desk with a tablet tucked under his arm. A slight, amused grin played at the corner of his lips. "The legal team just flagged the latest update. Lannister Global sent over a revised buyout package this morning—twenty percent higher than the last one."I didn't even look up from the fabric swatches spread across my desk. "And?""And you rejected it in under forty seconds," he chuckling softly. "Without even opening the PDF attachment. Miller from acquisitions looked like he was about to cry when he called me."I tossed my fabric shears onto the desk with a dull metallic clatter. "They just don't seem to get the memo. Sterling isn't for sale.""Camille, it was a nine-figure offer," Alex said, his voice light, but his eyes searching mine. "Most people would at least read the cover letter.""I don't care if it's ten figures," I muttered, pulling a fresh swatch o
REBIRTH OF THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE ALEX MY SOULMATE
Chapter 50The quiet of the late-night atelier was a sound I had come to crave.Soft amber light spilled over the high ceilings, reflecting off bolts of French silk, heavy velvets, and rows of dress forms standing like silent sentinels in the shadows. Classical piano music drifted softly from the small speaker on my desk, blending with the rhythmic snip-snip of my scissors against silk.I leaned closer to the mannequin in front of me, pins held lightly between my lips as my fingers worked to drape a length of emerald organza across the waistline.This room was my sanctuary. Out there in the real world, I had to be Camille Sterling—the fierce, brilliant, untouchable CEO of a rising luxury fashion house. In my head, sometimes I still had to fight off the lingering ghosts of a terrified girl who had run for her life in the dark. But right here, with fabric between my fingers and a design coming to life beneath my hands, my brain finally shut off. The noise vanished. The constant hyper-v

Chapter 49KADE LANNISTER "We’ll be wrapping up the logistics report for the East Asian distribution centers by Friday," Henderson said, adjusting his glasses as he clicked to the next slide on the wall display. "Shipping delays in Singapore have settled, but freight costs are up six percent. Overall, Q3 projections for the retail sector remain solid."I leaned back in my leather chair, resting my chin against my knuckles, letting the low hum of corporate chatter wash over me.This was my life. Solid. Right. A room full of executives pulling seven-figure salaries, and they spent forty-five minutes patting themselves on the back over a six percent margin shift."Moving on to sector acquisition," Henderson continued, clearing his throat and pulling up a fresh set of financial charts. "Sterling’s growth in the European sector is up forty percent this quarter. Their brand loyalty is... unprecedented. If Lannister Global wants to dominate the autumn market, securing a majority stake or a

Chapter 48"I’m telling you, line forty-two is a mistake," Alex said, holding a runway line-sheet above his face like a man trying to decipher ancient graphs. "The structured silk organza coat? It’s too much volume. The models are going to look like luxurious, angry clouds."I didn't look up from my laptop, my fingers flying across the keyboard. "It’s high couture, Alex. It’s meant to create volume. Not everyone wants to look like they're wearing a sleek black funeral suit, which is literally ninety percent of your wardrobe.""Hey! My suits are custom-fitted works of art, thank you very much," he scoffed, dropping the paper onto his chest and glaring over at me. "And what about the velvet shipment from Milan? The factory said the dye batch is delayed by three days. If we don't move the fitting schedule, we’re going to be stitching hemlines in the limo on the way to the venue.""Already handled," I said smoothly, taking a slow sip of my tea. "I shifted the handbag review to Thursday a
