Aurora's POV

"You're wearing that?"

Damien says it the moment I step out of the bedroom, not quite a question, not quite a complaint, sitting somewhere uncomfortably in between. I know that tone. I have heard it described as a concern for my entire first life.

In my first life, those three words would have sent me straight back to change. I would have tried four other outfits, come out apologizing for the time, and spent the entire drive feeling like I had already failed before the night starte

  • 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 holding up my childhood. No.Not Catherine Reed, because she signed page five. Because she knew, because if Adrian was Nadia’s father and Elena was already dying and Vincent wanted one child erased, then Catherine had every reason to let that happen quietly. She didn’t. Why?Catherine blinks once. That is not an answer. It is enough to tell me I am finally asking the right thing. “Answer her,” the silver-haired woman on the center screen says. Catherine turns toward the screens. Then back to me, and for the first time all night, she looks tired.Not socially tired. Not elegantly burdened. Tired in the old, ugly way of women who have spent too many years carrying choices that looked survivable at t

  • 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 was my husband’s daughter.”Nadia goes pale, not shocked pale. Worse than that. The kind that starts somewhere deep and works its way up until even breathing looks difficult.Sebastian doesn’t look at anyone. He stares at Catherine like she just reached into his chest and pulled out the last thing he still wanted to believe about his father and held it up for the whole room to see.Vincent says, “Enough.” It is the first time tonight the word sounds like it came from a man losing the shape of the room.Catherine turns her head slightly toward him. “No. Not enough. Not after all this time.” The board screens are still live. Every face is still there, watching. Good. Let them watch. Let them

  • 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. Not yet. He has always preferred people as leverage when paper stops working.The board screens are still live. Good, let them see him like this.Aurora sees it too. Her eyes flick once toward the monitor wall, then back to Vincent. She still has the bag. The pages. The evidence. Her face gives away nothing. Good girl.Vincent’s voice stays low. “Page one.”Nadia doesn’t fight him.That catches my attention. Not because she’s giving in. Because she’s thinking. Her body has gone very still in that dangerous way people do when panic would cost them more than pain.Arthur says, “You’ve already lost.”Vincent doesn’t look at him. “No. I’ve just run out of polite ways to win.” The woman on the cen

  • 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 expression: irritation first, confusion second.Then one of them sees the name at the top of the call.ADRIAN REEDAnd everything changes.“Adrian?” an older man says sharply. “What kind of sick joke is this?” No one in the room breathes.Sebastian is still in the chair. One hand on the table. Jaw is hard. Eyes fixed on the screens like he can force the room to obey if he stares long enough.Arthur moves first. He takes one slow step forward and says, “No joke. But if you disconnect in the next thirty seconds, Vincent Reed takes this company somewhere it does not come back from.”That gets them not trust, but attention. On the middle screen, the silver-haired woman leans in. “Arthur?” “Yes.” “W

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

    Sebastian’s POV“What board call?”The question leaves my mouth before anyone else moves.Arthur’s voice comes through the speaker again, thinner now, rougher. “Emergency board session. Founder clause. If Vincent gets the vote before sunrise, he freezes every Foundation record and locks you out of the company system.”That lands exactly where it should, not in the room. I knew, of course, he would do it this way, not with blood. With bylaws, not by running. By making sure the truth cannot outlive the morning.Vincent smiles at that. Small. Controlled. Back in his hands now that the fight has moved onto ground he understands better than any of us. “I told you,” he says. “Paper changes empires.”Aurora lifts the gun a little higher, not at his head, but at his chest. “Then let's see how much yours changes when you miss the call.” For one second, even I stop and look at her. She is pale. Tired. Bruised. Her hand should be shaking more than it is; it isn’t. Good.Vincent sees it too. Inte

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

    Aurora’s POV“Give me the page.”Vincent says it like the whole house still belongs to him.I’m on my knees on the stair, page one crushed in my fist; Victoria is on the floor behind me, Megan is sobbing somewhere to my left, and Sebastian is half crouched beside me, ready to move.And Vincent is smiling. I hate that smile. “No,” I say. He tilts his head slightly. “You’re running out of ways to say that and stay alive.” “Then I’ll start repeating myself.”Sebastian moves one step down, enough to put more of himself between Vincent and me. “You should leave.”Vincent’s eyes flick to him. “You’re still confused about who gives orders in this house.” “No,” Sebastian says. “I’m clearer than I’ve ever been.”Lucas is already moving Victoria away from the gun. Nadia comes up the stairs fast, stops when she sees Vincent, and goes completely still. Good. Let him see her. Let him look at the girl he spent twenty-six years trying to erase and understand she is still here.Vincent sees her. Some
