Rebirth of The Forsaken Heiress Chapter 61: The Invitation
ROTHSCHILD INDUSTRIESThe rain outside lashed against the glass of the skyscraper, distorting the London skyline into a smear of gray and charcoal. Inside, the silence was heavy, broken only by the rhythmic tapping of Lucian’s pen against his desk.He wasn't looking at the Sentinel acquisition reports that Simone had demanded. He was looking at a personal ledger he had pulled from the archives—Damien’s private expenses from the last quarter.Berlin. Berlin. Berlin.The charges were obscure. Rental of a private medical facility. Payments to a specialized pharmacological supplier. A monthly stipend to a Dr. Heinrich Weber, a man whose credentials Lucian had looked up: Trauma and Memory Regression Specialist.Lucian frowned, his brow furrowing. Why would Damien, the brother who spent his days attending art auctions and his nights drinking vintage wine, be funding a memory specialist? Damien didn't have the stomach for the family’s darker business. He had always been the gentle one, the w
Rebirth of The Forsaken Heiress Chapter 60: Shadow of a Father
VALEMONT MANOR - THE GARDENSThe afternoon sun broke through the gray clouds that had choked the city for days, casting long, golden beams across the overgrown gardens of Valemont Manor.Eleanor sat on a stone bench, watching.In the center of the lawn, Leo was chasing a butterfly. His laughter was a bright, chiming sound that seemed to chase away the gloom that hung over the estate. He was wearing tiny denim overalls and a yellow shirt, a spot of color in a world Eleanor had painted in shades of revenge and grief.She pulled her cardigan tighter around herself. It was peaceful here. For a moment, she wasn't the CEO of Sentinel. She wasn't the Avenger. She was just a mother watching her son exist in a place where she had once been happy.But even here, the ghosts found her.She looked at the spot near the rose bushes where she used to read poetry. She remembered Lucian standing there in their first life, looking awkward and out of place at her birthday party, holding a gift he was too

THE ROTHSCHILD ESTATE - PRIVATE STUDYThe piece of paper on the desk was thin, crisp, and stamped with the seal of a private genetic laboratory. To Simone Rothschild, it looked like a verdict."Well?" Simone asked, his voice tight. He didn't look at the paper. He looked at Lucian.Lucian stood by the heavy velvet curtains, his hands clasped behind his back to hide the tremor in his fingers. "I secretly took a strand of his hair.”In reality, he took another young boy’s hair in a park three blocks away from the Valemont estate. It was a desperate ruse, but it was the only way to buy Leo’s safety.Now, the results were in.Simone picked up the paper. His eyes scanned the technical jargon, jumping to the bottom line.PROBABILITY OF PATERNITY: 0.00%Silence stretched in the room, thick and suffocating.Lucian held his breath. Believe it, he prayed silently. Just believe it and let him go.Simone let out a long, slow sigh. He dropped the paper back onto the desk. The predatory gleam that
Rebirth of The Forsaken Heiress Chapter 58: Art of War
The Valemont estate had once been a place of warmth, filled with the scent of lilies and the sound of her father’s booming laughter. Now, it stood like a mausoleum on the hill, shrouded in the gray mist of the morning.Eleanor stood in the center of the grand foyer. Dust covers draped the furniture like ghosts. The air smelled of neglect and stagnant time."It’s cold," Leo whispered, pressing his face against Eleanor’s leg."It’s just a house, Leo," Eleanor said softly, resting her hand on his head. "We’ll warm it up. Sarah is in the kitchen making hot chocolate. Go find her."Leo hesitated, looking at the shadowy corners of the unfamiliar house, but the promise of chocolate won out. He scampered off toward the back of the house, his sneakers squeaking on the dusty marble.Eleanor watched him go as her expression hardened."You are exposing him," Alistair said. He was standing by the window, checking the perimeter security feeds on his tablet. "Bringing him here, to the place Simone i
Rebirth of The Forsaken Heiress Chapter 57: The Target
The heavy door of the armored limousine slammed shut, sealing out the flashing cameras of the paparazzi that had swarmed the hotel entrance. The interior was a sanctuary of cream leather and tinted glass, silent save for the hum of the engine and the quiet, contented sounds of a child unwrapping a chocolate bar."I’m sorry, Mama," Leo said, his legs swinging back and forth on the plush seat. "I didn't mean to be bad. But the elevator buttons were shiny."Eleanor didn't answer immediately. She sat rigid on the opposite seat, her hands clasped so tightly in her lap that her knuckles were white. Her chest was heaving with shallow, controlled breaths, the adrenaline of the confrontation crashing into the terrifying reality of what had just happened.They saw him.The thought played on a loop in her mind, a frantic drumbeat.Simone saw him. Lucian saw him."Mrs. Chen," Sarah, the nanny, squeaked from the corner seat. She looked like she was about to cry again, wringing her hands in her apr
Rebirth of The Forsaken Heiress Chapter 56: Heir of Shadows
The air in the cavernous boardroom was so thin it felt as though all the oxygen had been sucked out by the sheer force of Eleanor’s presence.The shouting was over. The legal threats had ceased. What remained was the heavy, suffocating silence of total defeat.Simone Rothschild sat at the head of the mahogany table, a position he had usurped only days ago. Now, he looked like a man sitting on a throne that was rapidly crumbling beneath him. His face was a mask of controlled fury, his knuckles white as he gripped the edge of the leather armrest.Across from him, Eleanor Valemont—now Eleanor Chen—stood calmly as she gathered her files. She didn't slam them. She didn't gloat. She simply tapped the edges of the dossier against the table to align them, the sound echoing like a judge’s gavel in the quiet room."The injunction is filed," Eleanor said, her voice cool and devoid of the trembling hesitation that had plagued her three years ago. "My team will begin the audit of the hostile takeo
