REBORN TO BE A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO
AVA'S POVI found the address three days ago, more by luck.It was through a mere conversation in a coffee shop I had stopped at to get a cup of latte. A woman whom I later knew as Petra, who had worked as a filing clerk for the city's regulatory office for twenty-two years had mentioned it in passing to a man she was talking to over coffee, that she remembered a property transfer connected to Redwater Holdings, she said it happened twice."Twice?" I asked before I could control myself.Petra looked at me in amazement, at the stranger suddenly meddling in her talk. Then, she nodded in affirmation."First time was standard. It was registered and filed correctly." Petra said. "Second time was three weeks later. Someone wanted the original registration amended. The address was changed on the principal correspondence record." She frowned slightly at the memory. "Which was unusual because you don’t amend correspondence addresses on a company registration without a reason. The company was

SELENE’S POV"His name is Gerald Fitch," Adrian said. "He was the lead investigator on the Westbridge accident four years ago. The investigation that went cold."I kept my expression neutral.Gerald Fitch. The name existed in the files I had assembled over the past four years. The man who had closed the investigation before it reached anything significant. "Where was this taken?" I asked."The building is a private storage facility in the east dock district," Adrian said. "Fitch visited it at three forty-one in the morning six days ago and stayed for approximately twenty-two minutes." He paused. "The facility has a registered tenant in the unit he accessed. The tenant name is a shell registration." Another pause. "The shell traces back to Redwater Holdings."The room felt very still suddenly. I stared at the photograph in front of me."Damien is moving his evidence," I said quietly."Or destroying it," Adrian said. "Fitch wouldn't be making a visit at such early hours of the morning,

SELENE'S POVI arrived at the municipal library first, twelve minutes before Adrian.The library smelled exactly the way I remembered it.Old paper, cedar wood and some faint metallic smell from the heating system that had probably not been updated since the building was renovated in the nineties. The kind of smell that existed in layers, each one belonging to a different decade of the same place.The third floor reading room was empty the way it always was on weekday mornings. Four long tables and wooden chairs with the specific discomfort of furniture built for function rather than comfort. Tall windows that let in grey morning light without warmth. A row of reference shelves along the far wall that nobody consulted anymore because everything they contained existed faster and more completely on a screen.I chose the table in the far corner, back to the wall with clear sightline to the door and both staircases.I sat down and placed my phone on the table and waited.Floyd had sent a

SELENE'S POV I picked up my phone and called Adrian, he answered on the second ring. "I need to meet," I said the moment he answered. The document was still spread across my desk and the specific cold clarity of what I had read was still sitting in my chest like a weighty object. There was a brief pause on his end. "When?" "Now, but not at the office. Not anywhere with cameras." There was another pause, shorter than the first. "Give me forty minutes." He ended the call without asking why. I stood from the desk and went to the bar, I poured whiskey into a glass and stood holding it while I thought about what I was going to tell Adrian and what I was going to keep. The Leonard document couldn't go to Adrian whole. Not yet. The full revelation that the man who had rebuilt me had been stealing the inheritance I was entitled to for years cannot be disclosed yet. Not to Adrian. To him I was Selene. Not Serena! Selene Arden. I was still working through exactly where the line sho
REBORN TO BE A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT
SELENE'S POVThe document arrived through Clara at nine in the morning, flagged urgent, sourced from the secure archive channel Martin Reeves had been using before he went dark.Which meant Reeves had not gone entirely dark and he had chosen this specific moment to resurface what he had been holding back deliberately.Clara placed the envelope on my desk without opening it, which was her way of telling me she had read the cover notation and understood it was meant for me alone. I thanked her and waited until she closed the door before I picked it up.Inside was a single document. Eight pages, dense with financial records, corporate registration histories and a genealogical summary that looked like it had been assembled by someone with access to records that didn't exist in any public archive.I read the first page standing up.Then I sat down and read it again from the beginning.The inheritance claim connected to my mother's family line. An old fortune attached to a family name that

ADRIAN'S POVThe Laurent residence on Marchfield Avenue had not changed in thirty-five years.That was the thing about houses maintained by women like Victoria Laurent, they didn't change because change implied that the original arrangement had been insufficient, and insufficiency was not a condition Victoria acknowledged in anything she controlled. The same pale wallpaper in the entrance hall. The same arrangement of white flowers on the console table replaced weekly by the same florist for two decades. The same smell of the house, something between cedar and expensive candles, that had lived in my memory since childhood as the smell of a place where performance was the primary language.I arrived at few minutes past seven in the morning. Damien was already there, standing near the fireplace in the main sitting room with a drink in his hand, his posture carrying its usual ease. He looked at me when I entered and raised the glass slightly as a greeting that was also a confirmation. *

Serena’s POV“You’re embarrassing me again.”Adrian’s voice was calm when he said it, but somehow, that made it worse.The entire dining table went silent.I stood beside his mother with a serving tray still in my hands while heat slowly crawled up my neck. Across the table, several business guests

ADRIAN’s POVFour years ago, Damien had stood in a conference room and listened to a recording of a voice coordinating the accident that unalived Serena and my son and had said he recognized the voice. And then changed and said he was mistaken.And for four years while I buried my wife, struggled w
