Damien's POV

"Show me your phone." The words leave my mouth before I can soften them.

Aurora looks at me. Not startled. Not guilty. Just still.

Around us, the dinner keeps moving. People talking. Glasses clinking. My father is laughing too loudly at something one of the investors says. But all I can see is the photo on my screen and the message under it. She's not yours anymore, Cross. And she never really was.

Aurora glances once at my phone, then back at my face. "That is not how you ask for

  • 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-Six:

    Nadia’s POV“Read it.”Catherine says it like she’s tired of everyone protecting each other from words.Lucas still doesn’t move. He stands there with the sealed plastic sleeve in one hand and those two men behind him like borrowed muscle, his face caught somewhere between useful and trapped.“Lucas,” Catherine says again, sharper this time. “Show them.” He hesitates. That tells me everything I need to know. Whatever Victoria wrote, it matters more than the rest. I hold out my hand. He looks at me, then at Vincent, then back at me, and finally gives me the sleeve.The plastic crackles in my fingers. My hands are steady enough to open it, which feels wrong because nothing inside me is steady right now.Aurora steps closer without touching me.Sebastian does the same on my other side. I can feel both of them there. Good. I need that more than I want to admit. I unfold the page.Typed first. Clinical. Cold. The kind of language people use when they want to hurt you without ever saying th

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

    Aurora’s POV“Behind me.”Sebastian says it without looking at me. I don’t move.The vault door groans wider. Red light from the corridor spills across the floor in a thin line. For one second, all I can see is shadow. A shape. Then another. Then one person steps into the opening fully, and the whole room changes.Lucas, of course. His shirt is bloodstained at one shoulder. His face is pale. But he’s standing, breathing hard, and very much alive. Behind him are two house security men I recognize from earlier.Vincent’s smile disappears. Good.Lucas looks past us, straight at Vincent, and says, “Sorry, sir. We had to improvise.” Sir. Not Sebastian.Vincent. I grip my bag tighter. So the traitor came back. That should surprise me less than it does.Sebastian steps forward. “You picked a side.”Lucas finally looks at him. His expression is almost apologetic. “Too late,” he says. That answer should not sting Sebastian. I see it land anyway. Small. Sharp. The kind of hurt pride refuses to

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

    Aurora’s POV“Give me the tape.”Vincent says it like that is still how rooms work for him. Like he asks, and people hand things over. I tighten my grip around the cassette instead. “No.”Sebastian has him pinned half against the cabinet, one hand twisted in his coat, the other braced hard enough to keep him from lunging again. Nadia is on the floor by the open leather case, flipping through the files with fast, shaking hands.The red emergency lights make everyone look wrong. Vincent's face looks worse. Good. “You have no idea what that tape is,” he says. “I have a better idea than you want me to.” He tries to pull free.Sebastian pushes him back harder. “Stay still.”Vincent glares at him. “You really think she should hear it?”That lands too neatly. He wants me to hesitate. He wants me to start wondering if whatever is on this tape will hurt me more than it hurts him, so it must matter.I look around the vault quickly. Shelves. Boxes. Metal cabinets. A small recorder on the far tab

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

    Sebastian's POV"Something's wrong." Aurora says it without looking at me.Her voice is too flat. Too controlled. The kind of calm that only comes when someone is holding something dangerous inside and deciding what to do with it. I glance at her. She is not looking at me; she is looking at the bac

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

    Aurora's POV"We need to leave."Nadia does not move. She is still on the floor. Still staring at the hospital tag like it might change if she looks at it long enough. It will not."Nadia." Nothing.I crouch down in front of her and take her hands.They are cold. "I know this is too much," I say. "

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

    Aurora's POV"Find me for what?"Nadia's voice is too loud for the small room. I do not have an answer. The locket is still in my hand. The photograph. The word. My mother's handwriting on something that has been hanging around Nadia's neck for fifteen years, safe, one word, one child, not Nadia, b

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

    Aurora's POV"You can't just show up at her door."Sebastian says it like he already knows I am not going to listen. He is right. "Watch me."Lucas is already driving toward Nadia's apartment. I gave him the address before Sebastian could argue. Now we are three blocks away, and I can feel the tens
