Alexander’s POV

After the doctor left, it didn’t take long before the door opened again quietly and Torres stepped in with the careful expression he only wore when he had something serious to tell me.

He glanced once at Seraphina, who was sitting up against the pillows, lookimg pale but alert—then looked directly at me.

    Alexander’s POVAfter the doctor left, it didn’t take long before the door opened again quietly and Torres stepped in with the careful expression he only wore when he had something serious to tell me. He glanced once at Seraphina, who was sitting up against the pillows, lookimg pale but alert—then looked directly at me.“Sir, we found the person that tampered with the car.” The words landed heavily in the room and I did my best to control my expression so as not to alert Seraphina but I saw how her fingers tightened around the edge of the blanket. Before I could speak, she turned toward Torres, her voice still slightly rough from earlier.“Has he been taken to the police? Do you know why he did it?”Torres hesitated, his eyes flicking towards me, clearly waiting for permission on what to say and how much to reveal.Seraphina continued before either of us could fill the silence. “What if he’s one of the people that was sued for spreading those stories about me? Someone who wanted re

    Alexander’s POV“Faster,” I ordered.“Sir, there’s heavy traffic ahead…”“I don’t fucking care! Just move!”The car lurched forward, weaving between lanes, but the congestion only thickened and brake lights flared in every direction. My jaw tightened until I felt it aching ached because every second that passed without her waking felt like something vital was slipping further out of my reach.I looked down at her pale face… it looked like it had been drained of the entire blood in her system, and her body was too still—it made the fear that had been sitting in my chest since the garage sharpen into something close to panic.I couldn’t wait.“Stop the car.”The driver barely had time to react before I had laid Seraphina down and ran out of the back seat while yanking his door open.“Move.”He scrambled into the passenger seat without argument and I slid behind the wheel, slammed the door, and forced the car into a gap that shouldn’t have existed. Horns blared in anger and someone even

  • REBORN TO MARRY MY EX’S BILLIONAIRE UNCLE   Chapter 20: THE ATTACK

    Alexander’s POVBy the time we reached the private garage beneath the building, Seraphina had already woken up in my arms, she shifted against me while blinking against the harsh fluorescent lights, then frowned up at me.“Put me down,” she said. “I can walk on my own.”I didn’t slow my steps as I kept my arms firm around her.“Alexander.” There was a clearer edge of protest in her voice now. “Why didn’t you just wake me up instead of carrying me all the way down here?”A faint smile touched my mouth despite the lingering tension from the day.“There was no other way about it.”She looked like she wanted to argue further, but the driver had already opened the rear door of the black Maybach, and so I leaned down to set her inside.However the moment my hand brushed the edge of the door frame, something felt wrong.It was subtle at first, an almost imperceptible shift in the way the vehicle rested on its tires, and a somewhat faint metallic irregularity in the air, the kind of quiet wro

  • REBORN TO MARRY MY EX’S BILLIONAIRE UNCLE   Chapter 19: I WILL NOT FORHIVE THEM

    Alexander’s POVSeraphina remained asleep on the couch, undisturbed as Torres lead me to the meeting room. The representatives from Harrington Group and two associated media subsidiaries rose the moment I entered. Their expressions were already tense and somehow I knew what they were here for. I took my seat at the head of the table without offering any greeting.“Make it quick,” I said, impatience already burning in my blood. “State what you came here for and nothing else.”The lead representative cleared his throat. “Mr. Knight, we’ve reviewed the situation thoroughly, truth is several of the outlets involved in the recent coverage regarding Mrs. Knight are prepared to issue formal apologies and full retractions. Some are even willing to offer substantial financial settlements, we a believe there is still room for a more measured resolution.”I looked at him flatly.“No.”A second man leaned forward, hands clasped tightly on the table. “Mr. Knight, many of these companies are alrea

  • REBORN TO MARRY MY EX’S BILLIONAIRE UNCLE   Chapter 18: THE MEETING COULD WAIT

    Alexander’s POVMy office had settled into a comfortable quiet.I finished another bite of the scallops, still mildly surprised by how good they tasted.Across from me, Seraphina sat curled on the black couch, legs tucked beneath her, watching me with that soft, unguarded expression she rarely showed anyone else.After a moment she spoke, her voice quieter than usual.“What would you have done,” she asked, “if I had insisted on your secretary being let go?”I set the fork down carefully and met her eyes. “She would have been gone immediately.”Seraphina’s fingers tightened slightly around the edge of the cushion. “Just like that? Without even thinking about it?”“Yes.”She looked down for a second, then back up at me. There was something more fragile in her expression now—something that hadn’t been there when she was calmly confronting the secretary in the hallway.“You wouldn’t have regretted losing her?” she asked. “She said she worked here for years. She seemed… competent.”I held

    Seraphina’s POVWe had almost reached the elevator when the hurried sharp click of heels echoed behind us.“Mrs. Knight…please wait!”I turned and Alexander’s secretary from earlier was hurrying down the hallway. Her face was pale and I could see her eyes shining with unshed tears. Before either of us could react, she dropped heavily on her knees right there on the polished marble floor causing a few remaining staff members to freeze mid-step.“Please,” she said, voice cracking. “I’m sorry… I truly didn’t mean any disrespect. Please don’t let them fire me, I have a mother who depends on me. Please, Mrs. Knight, forgive me just this once.”I looked down at her for several long seconds, thinking about what she said and how she suddenly was trying to manipulate me. Beside me, Alexander remained silent, waiting.“No,” I said clearly. “It was a bet and you agreed to the terms yourself. You need to uphold your end.”Her head jerked up. “Please… I was only following company protocol. Mr. Kni
