The foyer of the estate was so quiet that the faint, rhythmic ticking of the grandfather clock sounded like a countdown.

Sienna stood perfectly still under the warm glow of the crystal chandelier, her breathing shallow and uneven. Her fingers, cold and trembling slightly, held the delicate piece of yellowed paper Alexander had handed her. The paper was worn at the edges, folded with precise, disciplined care, bearing the distinct, elegant script of Eleanor Vance her late mother.

  • Reborn After the CEO's One-Night Stand   Chapter 32: The Ghost of Zurich

    The freezing alpine wind swept through the open hangar, whipping Sienna’s dark hair across her face.She stood frozen on the wet concrete, her eyes locked onto the woman standing at the base of the private jet’s air-stairs. The halogen floodlights cast harsh, stark shadows across the hangar floor, illuminating the silver hair and delicate facial features of the woman in the ivory trench coat.Every nerve in Sienna’s body screamed in disbelief. The woman had the same soft jawline, the same posture, and the same distinct, piercing gray eyes as Eleanor Vance the mother Sienna had buried in her heart three years ago.Beside her, Alexander’s hand immediately moved to the small of her back. His grip was firm and steady, his muscular frame poised to shield her from any sudden movement. His storm-gray eyes swept the dark corners of the hangar, scanning the upper catwalks where armed security guards stood in shadow."Sienna..." the woman called out again, her voice thin and trembling against t

  • Reborn After the CEO's One-Night Stand   Chapter 31: Touched Down in Zurich

    The twin jet engines of the private Gulfstream dropped to a low, quiet hum as the aircraft taxied down the slick runway of Zurich Airport. Outside the oval cabin windows, mist clung to the dark mountain peaks in the distance, turning the early morning Swiss sky into a sheet of cold lead.Inside the leather-trimmed cabin, the atmosphere was taut, stripped of comfort.Sienna stood near the forward galley, adjusting the cuff buttons of her tailored navy wool coat. Her reflection in the dark glass showed a woman whose silver-gray eyes were sharp, calculating, and cold yet under her silk blouse, her heart slammed against her ribs. Over her collarbone, her mother’s silver locket felt heavy, like a piece of iron weighing her down.A pair of warm, strong hands settled gently onto her shoulders from behind. The broad, solid chest of Alexander pressed lightly against her back, his heat instantly cutting through the cabin's chill."We ground in two minutes," Alexander murmured near her ear, his

  • Reborn After the CEO's One-Night Stand   Chapter 30: The Woman in Zurich

    The air in the nursery turned to ice.Sienna stood rooted to the spot, her eyes fixed on the tablet screen in Marcus’s hands. On the glowing display, the older woman sat comfortably in her leather armchair, her posture regal and effortlessly commanding. She wore a tailored charcoal wool suit, but what caught the ambient light—and Sienna's terrified focus—was the gleaming silver locket resting over her collarbone.It was an exact, flawless twin to the one currently hanging around Sienna’s own neck.Alexander moved with instantaneous, protective speed. He stepped directly between Marcus’s tablet and Sienna, his towering frame blocking her from the video feed as his storm-gray eyes glared into the camera lens with lethal, quiet rage."Who the hell are you?" Alexander demanded, his low baritone vibrating through the quiet room like rolling thunder.The woman on the screen let out a soft, musical laugh that held zero genuine warmth. "Always the blunt, aggressive titan, Mr. Cross. Just like

  • Reborn After the CEO's One-Night Stand   Chapter 29: The Shadow of Zurich

    The soft, warm glow of the nursery suddenly felt fragile, swallowed by the cold amber light radiating from the encrypted tablet.Alexander’s broad hand tightened around Sienna’s waist, his body locking into a tense, dangerous stillness. Beside him, little Leo let out a quiet, sleepy sigh, resting his small head against his father’s chest, completely unaware of the financial shockwave that had just rocked his world.Sienna leaned over Alexander’s arm, her gray eyes racing across the lines of glowing text on the tablet screen. Her breath hitched in her throat as the cold, unforgiving numbers sank in."Forty percent," Sienna whispered, her voice barely audible. "Forty percent of our primary reserve stock... wiped out in a single offshore block transaction.""That isn't a market purchase, Sienna," Alexander said, his low baritone dropping into a dark, murderous growl. "Reserve stock under the Joint Trust agreement requires a master security key to trade. Hector couldn't have executed this

  • Reborn After the CEO's One-Night Stand   Chapter 28: The Fall of the Empire

    The metallic click of tactical weapons locking into place echoed sharply against the boardroom’s glass walls.Hector froze, his right hand still buried deep inside his pinstripe suit jacket. Sweat glistened on his forehead under the harsh recessed lighting. Ahead of him, Garrett and three armed guards stood with rifles trained steadily on his chest, their laser sights painting bright red dots across his tailored lapels.Alexander didn't step back an inch. His towering frame remained planted squarely in front of Sienna, shielding her body entirely from any sudden line of fire. His storm-gray eyes burned with a dark, predatory calm that made Hector’s hand tremble inside his coat."Drop your hand, Hector," Alexander commanded, his voice dropping into a low, terrifying baritone that commanded total obedience. "Or this boardroom becomes your final resting place.""You ruined everything!" Hector snarled, his voice cracking with a frantic, unhinged fury. He glared past Alexander's shoulder,

  • Reborn After the CEO's One-Night Stand   Chapter 27: The Boardroom Coup

    The private elevator rushed up toward the penthouse floor of the Sterling Capital tower, its glass walls overlooking the twinkling skyline of the city. Rain lashed against the glass, reflecting the red emergency lights of the executive suite above.Inside the car, Sienna adjusted the lapels of her sharp ivory suit. Her mother’s silver locket rested firmly over her collarbone, no longer a symbol of unresolved grief, but a weapon of absolute truth. Beside her, Alexander stood like a dark tempest, immaculate in a bespoke charcoal suit, his broad shoulders squared and his jaw set in stone."Twenty minutes," Sienna said, her voice dropping into a cool, calculating register. "Hector timed the media leak to hit right as the market closed. He wants the board terrified of a stock collapse so they execute the emergency removal clause before we can present the original ledger."Alexander turned to her, his storm-gray eyes burning with fierce, unwavering confidence. "The board thinks they hold th
