AUTHOR'S POV

Scene – Sophia & Eleanor

Sophia sat in the corner of the café, her fingers wrapped limply around a cold cup of coffee she hadn’t touched. Her eyes were swollen, empty, like she had cried until her tears gave up on her. The sunlight streaming in through the window did nothing to warm her face.

The bell above the door chimed. Eleanor strutted in, elegant as always, her heels clicking against the tiled floor. She spotted Sophia instantly and made her way over with a dazzling smile.

“There you are,” Eleanor said, slipping into the seat beside her. “Sophia, where have you been all day yesterday? I was worried when I couldn’t reach you.”

Sophia didn’t even glance at her. Her voice was cold, brittle. “Must I tell you everything?”

The sharpness didn’t faze Eleanor. She simply smiled wider, leaning closer to whisper as if they were conspiring. “What did Lucas’s parents say? Are you going to meet them with him?”

Sophia finally turned, her lips curving into a strange, almost mocking

She opened it and found a hotel staff member standing there, his expression hesitant.“Yes? What is it?” she asked, her voice calm but wary.The staff member bowed slightly before speaking. “Ma’am, I’ve been asked to inform you that the KINGS Group will no longer be covering the expenses for this suite.”Sophia blinked in disbelief. “What? What do you mean? Are you asking me to leave?”“You’ll need to check out by next week,” the staff member replied politely, avoiding her eyes. “I’m very sorry.” He bowed again and quickly walked away.“Wait! Wait, you can’t just…” she called after him, trying to follow.But before she could take another step, a sharp pain tore through her stomach.She gasped, one hand flying to her belly, the other bracing against the wall for support.“Ah…” she winced, her breath coming out in

    AUTHOR'S POVMadison sat motionless on the chair beside the operating room. Her eyes were red and swollen, her face pale, her hands trembling faintly on her lap. The bright hallway lights above seemed cold—too bright, too empty.The sound of hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor. Mrs. Benjamin appeared, breathless, her face filled with worry.“Madison… Madison, what happened?” she cried as she rushed over.Madison stood up slowly, her lips quivering. She tried to speak, but her throat closed up. Finally, in a trembling voice, she whispered, “I’m sorry… Richard got badly hurt. He was trying to save me.”Mrs. Benjamin froze, her face draining of color. “What…? Oh, goodness…”Without another word, she pulled Madison tightly into her arms. Madison’s body shook as the tears she’d been holding back finally burst free again. Mrs. Benjamin stroked her hair gently, whispering, “It’s alright, dear… It’s alright…” even though her own voice trembled.The two stayed that way.clinging to eac

  • REBORN : MR CEO'S ADDICTION    Chapter 78

    AUTHOR'S POV A few minutes after Richard left for his meeting with Greg, the doorbell chimed through the quiet house. Madison, lounging on the couch, perked up immediately. A smile bloomed across her face as she hurried to the door. That must be the food. She pulled it open, her words already tumbling out “Thank you for the…” Her voice caught. There was no delivery bag. No familiar uniform. Instead, a figure loomed before her,dressed head to toe in black: leather jacket, black jeans, gloves that glinted faintly under the porch light. A motorcycle helmet covered his face, reflecting her wide eyes back at her. Madison’s heart dropped into her stomach. She scrambled to slam the door shut, but the man’s gloved hand shot out, forcing it open with terrifying ease. The door banged against the wall. She spun to run, but he was faster. A brutal grip caught her arm, slamming her back against the wall. Pain jolted through her shoulders as she gasped. “Let go!” she tried to scream, but

    AUTHOR'S POVThe soft glow of the morning sun filtered through the curtains, bathing the room in a warm, golden light. Richard stirred first, waking up to the peaceful rhythm of Madison’s breathing. He shifted slightly, his gaze landing on her sleeping form, her face serene and peaceful as she lay with her back to him. A small, loving smile crept onto his lips.He couldn’t help himself. Gently, he slid his arm around her waist, pulling her closer, his chest pressing against her back. Madison stirred slightly, groggily lifting her head before blinking her eyes open. She turned her face toward him, the sunlight catching the softness of her features, and a soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips."Good morning," she whispered, her voice barely above a breath.Richard’s smile deepened, his heart fluttering. “Good morning,” he replied, his voice full of warmth. He tightened his embrace around her, savoring the closeness.But Madison’s eyes wandered down to his wrist, and her smile fal

  • REBORN : MR CEO'S ADDICTION    Chapter 76

    AUTHOR'S POVAfter a long, draining day, Richard finally pushed open the door of their house—not the hotel. His shoulders sagged as he loosened his tie, exhaustion weighing down every step.Madison, who had been pacing the living room restlessly, immediately ran up when she heard him. She stopped just five feet away, her hands clasped together, her eyes wide with concern.“Today was a rough day, wasn’t it?” she asked softly, her voice trembling with worry.Richard’s tired eyes softened at the sight of her. He exhaled, forcing a small smile. “I’m okay.” Then, without hesitation, he looked straight into her eyes and asked, “Your painting…did you see it?”Madison blinked, startled. Slowly, she nodded. “I did.” Her brows furrowed slightly. “But… how did you have it?”Richard took a step closer, sincerity shining in his gaze, his voice low but steady. “I first got to know you through that painting.”Her breath caught in her throat. The weight of his words, the quiet confession, made her he

  • REBORN : MR CEO'S ADDICTION    Chapter 75

    AUTHOR'S POVLucas strolled into his father’s office with his usual air of confidence, a faint smile tugging at his lips.“Father, you wanted to see me? Shall I stay for lunch? I’ll have them prepare something special for you,” he said lightly, not noticing the storm brewing across the room.Behind the desk, Mr. Benjamin sat rigidly in his chair, eyes dark, jaw tight. He didn’t look at his son when he spoke, his tone low and venomous.“You lied to me.”Lucas blinked, caught off guard. “What are you talking about?”“You’re feigning ignorance?” Mr. Benjamin’s voice rose, raw fury breaking through. “How much more will you disappoint me!?”Confused, Lucas raised his hands slightly, almost in defense. “Calm down, Father. Explain what you mean so I can…”He didn’t get to finish. Mr. Benjamin snatched the document and flash drive from his desk and hurled them toward him. They slid across the polished floor, stopping at Lucas’s feet.Lucas’s expression flickered. He bent down, picked up the p
