"Roland Cross," Rosalind repeated slowly. "Why haven't I ever heard that name before?"

"Because most people haven't," her father said. "He kept himself out of the spotlight, even back then. Silas used to talk about him occasionally, always with respect. Almost fear, now that I think back on it."

"What happened between them?"

"I don't know exactly. One year Roland was around, quietly involved in things. The next, gone completely. Silas never explained it, and I never pushed. Wasn't my business."

  • Reborn: Bound to the Biker Billionaire   Chapter 28: Silas Watches Back

    Rosalind didn't answer Kade's message that night. She lay awake instead, staring at the ceiling, turning his words over in her mind. *Promise you'll tell him eventually.* She wanted to. Some part of her ached with how much she wanted to simply hand her father the whole truth and let someone else carry the weight of it for a while.But she couldn't. Not yet. Telling him about Kade meant explaining how she knew to trust a rival enforcer at all, and that thread, once pulled, led straight back to a truth far larger than either of them was ready to face. A truth about warehouses and bullets and a life already lived and lost once before.By morning, exhaustion sat heavy behind her eyes, though relief over her father's safety kept her moving through the day with something close to lightness.That lightness didn't last.She found her father in the kitchen, phone pressed to his ear, voice low and clipped in a way that immediately put her on edge."...understand completely," he was saying. "I'l

  • Reborn: Bound to the Biker Billionaire   Chapter 27: Learning the Room

    Rosalind stared at the screen, heart pounding.*Kade: We need to talk. Something's happened.*He'd never texted her directly before. Every message since Chapter 19 had come through Charlotte, careful, buffered, safe. Seeing his name appear on her own screen sent a jolt through her chest that had nothing to do with fear and everything to do with something she wasn't ready to name.Her father was in the next room, and she quickly slid the phone into her pocket before he noticed her expression. He still didn't know about Kade. Not the meetings, not the warnings, not any of it. As far as he understood, whatever intelligence they'd gathered came from Dahlia alone, filtered secondhand through her contacts inside the club. Rosalind intended to keep it that way. If her father knew she'd been secretly working alongside a rival enforcer, one connected however distantly to the very danger threatening their family, it would only add fear on top of fear, suspicion on top of suspicion. Better to ca

  • Reborn: Bound to the Biker Billionaire   Chapter 26: The Clock Resets

    Rosalind stared at the message until the words blurred together, cold dread spreading through her chest.*You made a mistake tonight, Rosalind. Roland doesn't forget faces. And now he knows exactly what yours looks like.*"Who is it?" her father asked, glancing over from the driver's seat."The unknown number," she said quietly. "Says Roland knows my face now."Her father's grip tightened on the steering wheel. "That's not something we didn't already expect, after tonight.""I know. It still doesn't make it feel better."They drove the rest of the way home in silence, both replaying the confrontation over and over, searching for anything they might have missed, anything useful buried inside the danger they'd walked away from tonight.Her mother was waiting at the door when they pulled into the driveway, relief flooding her face the moment she saw them both climb out unharmed. She pulled Rosalind into a tight hug first, then her father, holding onto them both like she was afraid lettin

  • Reborn: Bound to the Biker Billionaire   Chapter 25: Old Wounds, New Skin

    Rosalind's whole body went rigid.The figure stepped into the thin moonlight, and her stomach dropped when she recognized the man from earlier, the one with the flame stitched beneath his Reapers patch. He held no weapon, but his stance left no doubt he didn't need one, not with backup only a shout away."Marcus Vane," the man said, almost amused. "And his daughter. Out for an evening walk?"Her father rose slowly, positioning himself half in front of Rosalind without making it obvious that's what he was doing. "This isn't your business.""Everything happening on this property tonight is my business." The man's eyes flicked toward Rosalind, cold and assessing. "Roland will want to know you're here.""Then take us to him," her father said, voice steady despite the fear Rosalind could feel radiating off him. "I have every right to know what's happening in my own club's territory."The man studied him a moment longer, clearly weighing his options, before jerking his head toward the mill.

  • Reborn: Bound to the Biker Billionaire   Chapter 24: Patch on His Jacket

    They parked a quarter mile from the old grain mill, headlights off, engine cut, the building barely visible against the dark tree line. Rosalind's heart pounded as she climbed out of the truck, following her father's lead through the underbrush toward a cluster of trees that offered a clear line of sight to the mill's loading entrance."Stay low," her father whispered. "And stay behind me."They crouched together in the darkness, watching as vehicles pulled up one by one. She recognized Silas's truck immediately, then several motorcycles she'd seen parked outside the clubhouse before. Men climbed off, moving with the same casual confidence Reapers always carried, unaware they were being watched.Then a black car pulled up, sleek and expensive, nothing like the trucks and bikes surrounding it. The driver's door opened, and a man stepped out, older, silver-haired, moving with the unhurried authority of someone who never needed to rush for anyone.Rosalind's breath caught. "That's him."

  • Reborn: Bound to the Biker Billionaire   Chapter 23: Her Mother's Fear

    Rosalind read the message three times, something warm and unwelcome unfolding in her chest despite everything else weighing on her tonight.*Kade found the location. He says he's coming with you tomorrow night, whether you want him there or not.*She hadn't seen him in almost two weeks. Two weeks of Charlotte delivering notes, careful and efficient, nothing personal ever slipping through. She told herself the ache she felt reading his name again didn't mean anything. Told herself it was simply relief that someone else understood the danger they were walking into.She didn't fully believe herself."Rosalind?" Her father's voice pulled her back. "Everything alright?""Fine," she said quickly, sliding the phone away. "Just figuring out logistics for tomorrow."He studied her a moment longer than she liked before nodding slowly. "Get some rest. Tomorrow's going to be long."---She barely slept that night, mind cycling between fear for her father and something far more complicated wheneve
