REBORN AS THE BILLIONAIRE'S OBSESSION

KAIDA REED POV I didn’t bother to ring the doorbell. I yanked the door open with trembling hands and stepped inside. I walked up the stairs, every step bringing me closer to her bedroom door making my heartbeat roar in my ear. There was no way what I was thinking was true, but since he was poisoning me, I couldn’t rule out the possibility of him also cheating. But with Helena. My sister. It couldn’t be.I stopped at the door, reached for the handle, and froze as I heard Lucien’s voice "You look so beautiful," he grunted, the sound of skin slapping against skin filling the air.I froze, my lungs closing up.Why was Lucien in Helena’s room? My eyes widened. Were they having sex?"How beautiful," Helena moaned, panting heavily.I pushed the door a bit with a trembling hand, everything catching fire inside of me as my eyes locked on the naked bodies on the bed."Ethereal," he grunted, fucking into her at a slow and languid pace. "If I can, I’ll live inside of you forever.""Then why d

KAIDA REED POV I jolted upright with a gasp, my hands clawing at my chest as a fierce pain sliced through it.But there was nothing there.I blinked, then looked down.Didn’t I just...die? Where was the blood?I remembered the knife—the pain, the betrayal—so why was my heart still beating?"Kaida?"My eyes flew up, then widened as they met those of Nessa."Are you alright? You suddenly fainted."I blinked. I fainted?I clearly remembered dying, so what was she talking about? And why did this room look so familiar?Her fingers brushed my shoulder. I flinched so sharply she jerked back"What’s wrong with you?" She pressed a hand to her breast and sucked in a breath. "God, you scared me. Should I get Lucien..."My heart stopped cold. "No! Don’t! Don’t call him."The worry in her eyes deepened. "But you look totally out of it. If you’re not feeling well, I can just ask him to cancel the engagement party and tell the guests to leave—""Engagement party?" I glanced around the room, then at

KAIDA REED POV I turned to my car, my hands grabbing the door handle to open it when the headlights of an oncoming car suddenly blinded me.I paused, blinking the droplets of water from my lashes. Who the hell could it be?The car stopped. Lucien came out.My blood turned to ice, everything inside me churning as he closed the distance between us.What was he doing here? How did he even know where to find me? Wait. Was he...tracking me?I thought he only knew I witnessed his crime because he saw me that night, but what if that wasn’t the case?My stomach dipped hard, my hand clenching around the door handle.If he was tracking me, does that mean he knows I have the recording?God damn it, this was starting to get a lot messier.He had killed that man without a flinch, which meant it wasn’t the first time. If he finds out I have a record of his crime, he is going to kill me without hesitation.I had to be careful. Until I find a way to get away from him, I need to keep him from getti

KAIDA REED POV It was quiet at the Mansion and as I stepped into the house, I couldn’t help the wave of nostalgia that washed over me.Everything was the same. Just like always. And the longer I stood taking in the luxurious setting, the lonelier I felt."You’ve always been alone" I whispered, wrapping my arm around myself. "That’s why you fell so hard for the first person to act like you truly exist."Just thinking about him had my head throbbing. I was truly pathetic, wasn’t I? I did everything to make him love me—everything. And now that I thought deeper about it, maybe they were right. Maybe I had given my kidney to Nessa in the hope that he would see my sacrifice and finally love me... After all, my world only revolved around him...But he was just a black hole. And like all black holes, he devoured my love, my body...my soul, every scrap of hope I carried, until there was nothing left.My phone rang, pulling me out of my dark thoughts. I glanced down at it, my breath catching

KAIDA REED POV Zavian’s eyes held mine captive, and they burned with such an intensity that it had my breath catching in my throat. I couldn’t look away.I stood, pinned in place, but it wasn’t out of fear. It was something heavier. Something almost forbidden.I blinked, my hands clenching the side of my dress as I tried to make sense of the feeling."What do you want me to do, Kaida?" he asked, towering over me, the storm of anger and concern swirling in his gaze sending a wave of goosebumps down my arms."Zavian?" I called shakily, my hands clammy with sweat. "W–what—" I stuttered, then gasped as a rough hand suddenly wrapped around my arm, and I was yanked hard behind Lucien.He shielded me with his body—as if he hadn’t been the one hurting me just some seconds ago—then stepped forward, the anger in his eyes dark and furious. His stance was protective, but all it did was make my stomach twist because I knew the truth. Lucien didn’t truly care about me. He didn’t love me and he su
