Aurora’s POV

“Tell me you know where it is.” Sebastian doesn’t slow down when he asks it.

We’re already moving toward the SUV, his stride sharp and focused, like the answer determines how fast this night is about to turn. “I don’t,” I say. He stops, not completely, just enough for me to feel it. His shoulders go still. His jaw tightens once.

“You never opened it?” he asks.

“No.”

He turns toward me fully now. “You never opened the only thing your mother left behind?” I feel the judgment in the q

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

    Aurora's POV"Stop the car." Sebastian glances at me. "We're ten minutes away." "I said, 'Stop.'" He does not argue. The car pulls to the side of the road.Nadia leans forward. "What's wrong?" Nothing, everything. I press my hands flat against my thighs and stare at the dashboard. "We're doing exactly what they want," I say.Sebastian says nothing. Good, because I need to think. Every move tonight has been dictated by someone else. The messenger. Vincent. Catherine. Damien. Every text. Every revelation. Every perfectly timed bomb dropped at exactly the right moment to push us forward.And we keep going, like obedient pieces on a board we did not build."Who benefits from us showing up at Vincent's house right now?" I ask.Sebastian's hands rest on the wheel. He is quiet for a moment, then he says, "The messenger." "Yes." "You think they're leading us into something." "I think they've been leading us all night."Nadia's voice comes from the back. "Then what do we do?" I close my eyes.

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

    Sebastian's POV"Closer than we think," I say it out loud because the words need somewhere to go. Aurora is still holding my hand. I should let go, but I do not.Nadia is standing near the door, arms crossed, watching both of us like she is trying to decide if she belongs in this room or not. She does. She just does not know it yet. "Who is left?" Aurora asks. I run through the list in my head.Lucas — gone.Catherine — just walked out.Vincent — we already know.Damien — exposed.Megan — complicated but present.Victoria — dangerous but visible."Someone we haven't looked at properly," I say.Aurora frowns. "We've looked at everyone." "No." I finally let go of her hand. "We've looked at everyone who moved tonight. But someone has been still. Someone has been watching without acting."Nadia shifts. "What does that mean?" "It means the best way to stay hidden is to never move at all."Aurora's eyes narrow. She is thinking. I can see it. The way her mind works is fast. Precise. She does

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

    Aurora's POV"I didn't ruin anything," the words come out before I decide to say them.Catherine Reed does not move. She just watches me with those sharp eyes, like she is measuring exactly how much damage I am capable of."You exist," she says. "That was enough." I feel Sebastian shift beside me. His voice is cold when he speaks. "What are you doing here, Catherine?" She turns her head slowly toward him."Sebastian. You look like your father." Something dangerous moves across his face. "Answer the question." Catherine folds her hands in her lap.She looks calm.Too calm.The kind of calm that comes from knowing something no one else in the room knows yet. "I came because Vincent is losing control," she says. "And when Vincent loses control, he becomes careless. Dangerous. He has already made three mistakes tonight. If he makes a fourth, everything falls apart.""Everything," I repeat. Her eyes come back to me. "Everything."Nadia steps forward. I feel her beside me now, closer than b

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

    Aurora's POV"We go anyway."Sebastian looks at me like I just suggested we walk into a fire. "Someone is waiting there," he says. "I know." "Someone who wants us dead." "I know that too."Nadia leans forward from the back seat. "Aurora, this is insane." Maybe, probably, but I am tired of running. I am tired of being one step behind. I am tired of letting Vincent Reed and whoever else is pulling strings decide where I go and when."If we keep running," I say, "we stay in the dark. Whoever is waiting at your mother's house knows something. They know enough to be there before us. They know enough to be inside Vincent's network. That makes them dangerous. But it also makes them useful."Sebastian's jaw tightens. "You want to confront them." "I want to end this." The silence that follows is thick enough to feel.Nadia sits back slowly.Sebastian stares at me. I hold his gaze. This is not the plan. This is not smart, but I have spent my entire second life trying to be smart, trying to be c

  • 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 back of Lucas's head.That catches my attention. "What do you mean?" I ask. She does not answer immediately. Instead, she turns her phone toward me, with one message on the screen. No. But someone close to you did. I read it twice.Then I look at Lucas. He is driving. Eyes forward. Hands steady on the wheel. The same Lucas who has been with me for four years. The same Lucas who knows every access code to every property I own. The same Lucas who has seen every document, every message, every move I have made tonight. "Pull over," I say.Lucas glances at me in the mirror. "Sir?" "I said, 'Pull over.'" He hesitates; that is the first wrong thing.Lucas does not hesitate. He follows orders. He pulls

  • 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. "I know none of this makes sense right now. But we do not have time to sit here and process it. Vincent Reed knows who you are. He has been trying to erase you for twenty-six years. And if he finds you before we get out of here, he will finish what he started."Her eyes lift to mine. "He'll kill me," she says. Not a question, I do not lie to her. "Yes." Something shifts in her face, fear, still, but something harder underneath it."Then let's go," she says. I pull her to her feet. She grabs a jacket from the back of a chair and shoves her feet into sneakers without tying them. I move toward the door first, then stop. "Is there another way out?" "Fire escape. Bedroom window." "Use it."She hes
