"Step away from that computer, Elena."

Chloe's voice sliced through the silence.

I stared at the gun in her hand, then slowly shifted my eyes to her face. She looked different from the girl I had once known. The sweetness she used to hide behind was gone, replaced by something cold and frightening.

But I wasn't the same Elena anymore.

I had already died once because I trusted her.

I wasn't going to make that mistake again.

"Why are you so afraid of what's on that computer?" I asked.

Her fingers

  • REBORN TO CLAIM WHAT'S MINE   Chapter 20: THE LITTLE GIRL

    I stared at Damian, waiting for him to explain what he had just said.His father had once described the medical facility as the place where everything went wrong.What had happened there?And why had he never mentioned it before?“What exactly did your father mean?” I asked.Damian looked at the photograph on his computer.“I don't know. I was younger when I heard him say it. He was speaking to someone on the phone, and I remember him mentioning the facility.”“Did he mention my mother?”“No. But he sounded angry.”I folded my arms.“That's all you remember?”“It's all I can tell you.”I looked away, frustrated.It seemed that every person connected to my mother's disappearance had left behind half a story. Thomas had vanished before revealing the identity of Alexander's accomplice. My father had kept secrets from me, and now Damian was remembering conversations he had never thought important.I was tired of guessing.“We need to find out who that little girl was,” I said.Damian nodd

  • REBORN TO CLAIM WHAT'S MINE   Chapter 19: THE PHOTOGRAPH HE HID

    I couldn't stop thinking about the anonymous message.Thomas Reed was never supposed to tell you the truth. Ask Damian why his father kept your mother's last photograph.It had been hours since Thomas disappeared, yet every new discovery seemed to lead me further into a past I barely remembered.My mother had disappeared fifteen years ago. My father had died under suspicious circumstances. A dead man had been found with my father's identification card, and Thomas Reed had vanished after giving me a letter from Evelyn Hart.Now I was beginning to suspect that Alexander Wolfe knew more about my mother's disappearance than anyone had ever admitted.“Have you heard from Daniel?” I asked Damian.“He's searching through my father's private records.”“How long will that take?”“He'll contact us when he finds something.”I folded my arms. “Damian, I need answers. For fifteen years, I believed my mother died in a car accident. Now I'm discovering that the people around me might have known the

  • REBORN TO CLAIM WHAT'S MINE   Chapter 18: THE MAN WHO DISAPPEARED

    I stared at the message on my phone, reading it over and over.You should be asking why your father gave Thomas Reed the ring before he disappeared.My father had given Thomas his ring?Why?And why hadn't Thomas mentioned it when he was sitting in Damian's office?"Damian."He looked up from his phone."We need to find Thomas.""I've already instructed security to search the building. Nobody is leaving until we know how he got out."I glanced towards the officers surrounding the car."What about the body?""The police will take it for examination. They'll also run forensic tests to establish the man's identity."I nodded slowly.I wanted answers, but I knew we wouldn't get them by standing there."Let's go back upstairs."Damian took my hand, leading me towards the elevator.When we entered his office, his assistant was waiting beside the desk."Sir, we've checked the security cameras."Damian looked at her."What did you find?""Mr. Reed left the office approximately fifteen minutes

    "No..." I whispered.My fingers tightened around the edge of Damian's desk as I tried to process what the assistant had just said.My father couldn't be dead.Not after everything I had done to prevent it. Not after fighting so hard to change the future.Damian held my arm firmly."Elena, look at me."I shook my head."I need to see the body.""Elena, we don't even know if it's your father."His words made me pause.I turned towards the assistant."Have they confirmed the man's identity?"She shook her head."No, Miss Hart. They only found an identification card bearing Mr. Hart's name."I released a shaky breath.An identification card wasn't proof. Someone could have planted it there deliberately."Where is the car?" Damian asked."At the underground parking entrance. Security has already contacted the police."Damian nodded."Don't let anyone touch anything. Make sure the CCTV footage is preserved.""Yes, sir."The assistant hurried out.I turned towards Thomas.He stood beside the

  • REBORN TO CLAIM WHAT'S MINE   Chapter 16: THE SIN OF HIS FATHER

    I stared at Damian, my phone still trembling in my hand.The message remained on the screen."Elena, if you want to know why your mother disappeared, ask Damian what his father did fifteen years ago."He had seen it. I knew he had.And judging by the expression on his face, there was something he wasn't telling me."How much do you know?" I asked.Damian slipped his hands into his pockets."About what?"I let out a frustrated laugh."Don't insult my intelligence. You saw the message. You know exactly what I'm talking about."He looked at me for a moment before turning towards the window."My father had a complicated relationship with Richard Hart.""That's not an answer.""Fifteen years ago, their companies were involved in a major business dispute. My father believed Richard had betrayed him by leaking confidential information about a development project.""And you think that has something to do with my mother?""I don't know, Elena."I studied his face."You're telling me your fathe

  • REBORN TO CLAIM WHAT'S MINE   Chapter 15: THE CALL FROM THE DEAD

    "Elena, your mother is alive."Chloe's words kept echoing in my head.For several seconds, I couldn't move. I simply stared at her, waiting for her to laugh, admit she was lying, or say something that would make those words less painful.But she didn't.She just watched me."Take that back," I whispered.Chloe tilted her head."Why? Does the truth hurt?""You're lying.""Am I?"I shook my head, taking a step backwards."My mother died fifteen years ago. I attended her funeral. I watched them lower her coffin into the ground.""Did you actually see her body?"The question silenced me.I opened my mouth, but no words came out.I remembered the funeral. The black dresses, the flowers, the endless condolences, and my father holding my hand while telling me that everything would be alright.But I had been a child.I hadn't been allowed to see her body.My eyes returned to Chloe."What are you saying?""I'm saying you believed whatever your father told you.""Enough," Damian interrupted.He
