  • REBORN AND BECOME A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE   Chapter Eighty-Two:

    Aurora's POV"Why?"I say it to Megan before anyone else can speak. She looks at me, not with the softness she used to wear and not with the sharp edges she showed at the dinner. With something flat and tired that I am starting to believe might be real. "Because if that will has Vincent's name in it," she says, "then it has mine too."The room goes quiet, but not the shocked kind. The kind where everyone is doing math at the same time.Megan is Vincent's biological daughter. If Adrian wrote a will that addressed the Reed bloodline outside official channels, then any child connected to Vincent could be named, excluded, or erased again.Sebastian says, "That's speculation." "So was half of tonight," Megan answers. "And all of it turned out to be true." Fair. I hate how often that word applies to her now.Arthur taps his cane once. "She should come."Vincent makes a sound from across the room. "You're all going to walk out of this house together like a family that just discovered itself

  • REBORN AND BECOME A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE   Chapter Eighty-One:

    Aurora's POV“Where did Marian hide the will?”The question leaves Sebastian’s mouth before the room settles after the board screens go dark.Nadia blinks once, then again. Like the words need time to become real. “My grandmother never said anything about a will.” The unknown number sits glowing on Sebastian’s screen between us. One line, one more piece, one more reason none of us get to leave this night behind when morning finally comes. “Maybe she didn’t call it that,” I say.Nadia’s face tightens. “She called a lot of things by the wrong names.” That lands harder than she means it to. Not at me. In the whole room, at all of us.Marian hid a child by calling it protection. Elena split her daughters and called it survival. Vincent erased one and called it management. Arthur signed the continuation and called it the version where at least one of us lived. Everyone in this story keeps renaming harm until it fits in their mouths.I am tired of listening to it.Nadia looks down at her ha

  • REBORN AND BECOME A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE   Chapter Eighty:

    Sebastian's POV"You chose." My voice doesn't sound like mine.Arthur lifts his head. He meets my eyes. For a second, I expect the version of him I grew up respecting. The sharpness. The command. The man who taught me that empires survive on precision and legacy survives on control.That man is not in the room anymore. This one just looks old. "Yes," he says. "You chose which version of their lives survived." "Yes." "While telling me you knew nothing."Arthur's cane taps the floor once. "I told you I didn't know about Nadia specifically until later." "Later means after you already signed the continuation." Silence. That is confirmation. Good or not good. Nothing is good anymore.I look at the addendum in Aurora's hand.Chair approval. Two years after my father's death.Which means Arthur sat in a room, read a file about two girls who were being moved and managed like inventory, and signed his name at the bottom because the family needed it handled cleanly, not Vincent alone or Catheri

  • REBORN AND BECOME A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE   Chapter Seventy-Nine:

    Aurora’s POV“That’s a lie.”Vincent says it before I finish my first sentence. Good. Let him interrupt. Let the board hear how badly he needs to break the order of this room.I keep my hand flat on page one and look straight at the center screen. “I’m going to continue.” The silver-haired woman nods once. “Do.”Vincent laughs under his breath. “You’re letting a girl with stolen papers dictate an emergency session.” The woman does not look at him. “You had years to speak cleanly, Vincent. You chose not to.” That lands hard. I keep going.“Twenty-six years ago, two girls were separated at birth. One was left visible under the Sinclair name. One was moved through a Reed Foundation facility and buried under alternate guardianship. ” I tap page one. “This page identifies Subject A as retained under Sinclair family identity. This page," I lift the copied transfer record, “contains the signatures of Vincent Reed, Raymond Sinclair, and Victoria Sinclair.” Then I lift the torn page fragment.

  • REBORN AND BECOME A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE   Chapter Seventy-Eight:

    Aurora’s POV“Then use it.” The words leave my mouth before anyone else can breathe. Every head in the room turns toward me, not the board screens, not Vincent. Sebastian. Good.Let him hear it from me. He is still standing near the center of the study, shoulders locked, eyes sharp, carrying the weight of his father’s name like it just turned into a weapon he never asked to inherit.“Use what?” Vincent asks, though he already knows. I do not look at him. I keep my eyes on Sebastian. “The founder clause,” I say. “If Adrian wrote it for this, then use it.”Sebastian’s face doesn’t change.That means he’s thinking too fast to show anything.Arthur answers before he can. “Emergency bloodline authority only opens archived material. It does not remove Vincent from operational power.” The silver-haired woman on the board screen cuts in. “It does if those archives prove misuse of Foundation assets and unauthorized child detention under board cover.”That lands not with surprise, with timing.

  • REBORN AND BECOME A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE   Chapter Seventy-Seven:

    Aurora’s POV“Answer the question.” My voice cuts through the room before the silence settles properly. No one pretends not to know which question I mean.Why, Damien?Why not Sebastian?Why all those years of steering me toward the safer man when the more dangerous one had my whole life sitting quietly inside his family name.Vincent looks at me first. Then at Sebastian, and then back at the page now hidden inside my bag, like he still believes paper is the most dangerous thing in the room. He is wrong, not tonight. “Because Damien was easy,” Catherine says. That surprises all of us, even Vincent. Good. Let her keep doing that. I turn toward her. “Easy how?”“Easy to flatter. Easy to fund. Easy to make feel important.” Her eyes flick once to Vincent. “He wanted power, but he wanted it the lazy way. Men like that are simple to use.”Megan laughs once. Cold. “You mean he was stupid.” “No,” Catherine says. “Stupid men break too early. Damien was patient. That made him useful.” I feel Se

  • REBORN AND BECOME A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE   Chapter Seventy:

    Aurora’s POV“Why did you keep her alive?”I say it before anyone else can speak. The room shifts toward Catherine again. Good, that's where it belongs, not on me, not on Raymond, and not on the fresh wreckage of paternity now lying all over the floor like someone knocked over the last shelf holdin

  • REBORN AND BECOME A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE   Chapter Sixty-Nine:

    Aurora’s POV“What did you just say?”I don’t recognize my own voice. The room has gone so quiet I can hear the faint electrical buzz from the screens on the wall. No one on the board speaks. No one in the study moves.Catherine doesn’t look at me. She looks at Nadia and says it again. “Because she

  • REBORN AND BECOME A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE   Chapter Sixty-Eight:

    Sebastian’s POV“Let her go.”My voice comes out flat, not loud, not emotional; it still cuts through the room.Vincent has one hand locked around Nadia’s wrist and the other braced at her shoulder, angling her just enough toward the window to make the threat believable. He doesn’t need a weapon. N

  • REBORN AND BECOME A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE   Chapter Sixty-Seven:

    Aurora’s POV“Who authorized this session?”The voice blasts through the boardroom speakers before any of us move. Another screen lights up.Then another, men in suits. One woman with silver hair and sharp eyes. Faces arranged in neat little squares across the wall, all of them wearing the same exp
