That night—

Everything felt… different.

Roselyn lay in bed, staring at the ceiling.

Her lips still tingled faintly.

Her heart refused to calm down.

That kiss…

She turned slightly, glancing toward the door.

Dominic had left shortly after.

No explanation.

No words.

But she understood.

He was afraid.

Afraid that everything she showed him…

Was just another lie.

Roselyn clenched her fists slightly.

This time… I’ll prove it to you.

The Next Morning

The house was unusually quiet.

Roselyn walked downstairs slowly.

The servants moved carefully, as if afraid of disturbing something.

“Where is Dominic?” she asked.

No one answered immediately.

Then finally—

“In his study, Miss.”

Her heart tightened.

She walked toward the study, her steps light.

But before she could knock—

She heard voices inside.

“…The test results are out.”

Roselyn froze.

That voice—

It wasn’t Dominic’s.

Another man spoke again, calm but serious:

“It contains a high concentration of toxins. Enough to kill.”

Roselyn’s breath stopped.

The drug…

Her fingers trembled slightly.

“So it’s true,” Dominic’s voice came, low and cold.

Silence followed.

Heavy. Suffocating.

Then—

“Keep an eye on her.”

Roselyn’s heart dropped.

“Don’t let her leave.”

Inside the Room

Dominic stood by the desk, his expression unreadable.

His best friend, Bryan Hook, leaned against the table.

“She tried to poison you,” Bryan said bluntly.

“And you’re still protecting her?”

Dominic’s eyes darkened.

“Enough.”

Bryan scoffed.

“With your ability, you could’ve built everything years ago. But because of her—”

Dominic suddenly shoved him aside.

“I said enough.”

His voice was dangerous now.

“I’ll handle it.”

Outside

Roselyn stepped back slowly.

Her mind was spinning.

He knows…

Of course he would.

In her past life, he discovered it too.

But this time—

Everything was different.

She wasn’t trying to hurt him.

I need to explain…

But before she could move—

Two bodyguards appeared beside her.

“Miss Roselyn,” one of them said politely,

“You’re not allowed to leave.”

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

So it begins.

Inside Her Room

Roselyn paced back and forth.

Her thoughts racing.

If the evidence gets confirmed…

He’ll never believe me.

She stopped suddenly.

Ethan Blake.

He was the key.

Without hesitation, she grabbed her phone and dialed his number.

“Hello?”

“Dominic found it,” she said quickly.

“He confiscated the drug. I need another dose.”

There was a pause on the other end.

“…Roselyn,” Ethan said slowly,

“The concentration is dangerous. Maybe we should stop.”

Her eyes turned cold instantly.

“Stop?”

Her voice dropped.

“No.”

“I want him dead.”

There was silence again.

Then—

“Fine.”

Ethan gave her an address.

“Come get it yourself.”

Roselyn’s lips curved slightly.

Perfect.

That Night

Rain poured heavily once again.

Roselyn slipped out quietly.

Avoiding the guards.

Avoiding attention.

Her heart pounded as she reached the location—

An abandoned warehouse.

But the moment she arrived—

She froze.

Police cars.

Lights flashing.

Her breath caught.

Something’s wrong…

Then—

A voice behind her.

“Roselyn.”

Her entire body stiffened.

Slowly—

She turned around.

Dominic Vale stood there.

Gun in hand.

Eyes cold as ice.

And beside him—

Ethan Blake.

Held at gunpoint.

Roselyn’s heart dropped.

He set this up…

“Dominic, stop!” she said quickly.

His gaze shifted to her.

Dark. Hurt.

“So you’re here.”

His voice was calm.

Too calm.

“I kept thinking…”

He stepped closer.

The gun still pointed at Ethan.

“How much do you hate me?”

Roselyn shook her head.

“I don’t—”

“Enough to want me dead?”

Her chest tightened painfully.

“No!”

But he didn’t believe her.

Of course he wouldn’t.

“I tried to let you go,” Dominic said quietly.

“But I couldn’t.”

His grip on the gun tightened.

“So tell me…”

His voice dropped.

“If he disappears…”

“…will you stay?”

Roselyn’s heart shook violently.

“Dominic, the police are here!”

“Put the gun down!”

Ethan suddenly shouted:

“If you kill me, you’re finished! The police are already outside!”

Dominic didn’t even look at him.

“All I care about…”

His eyes locked onto Roselyn.

“…is you.”

Tears filled her eyes.

“Then listen to me…”

She whispered.

“Let him go.”

Silence.

A long… painful silence.

Then—

Dominic gave a faint, broken smile.

“I understand now.”

Roselyn’s heart dropped.

“Since my life disgusts you so much…”

He slowly turned the gun—

“…I’ll make it useful one last time.”

“DOMINIC—!”

BANG!

Roselyn screamed as he collapsed.

  • 💔 Reborn: I Betrayed the Billionaire Who Loved Me   CHAPTER 106: The Invitation

    Roselyn POV The location didn’t look important. That was the first warning sign. No signage. No security presence. No corporate branding that would justify its existence. Just an old institutional building sitting at the edge of a forgotten district—quiet, preserved, and deliberately unremarkable. The kind of place designed not to be noticed. Dominic stared at it for a long moment. Not confused. Measuring. Bryan’s voice came through the comm. “This location is still tied to your mother’s corporate identity, but it was formally closed years ago.” Dominic exhaled. “Formally doesn’t mean finished.” Entry We approached the entrance. The door wasn’t locked. It simply gave way after a moment, as if it had been waiting for a long time and finally decided it was time to allow entry. No mechanical sound. No visible security response. Just quiet acceptance. Dominic stepped inside first. I followed. The air inside felt preserved—not modern, not abandoned. Maintained. Like

  • 💔 Reborn: I Betrayed the Billionaire Who Loved Me   CHAPTER 105: The Name from the Past

    Roselyn POV Morning didn’t feel like morning. It felt like something unfinished. The penthouse was too quiet in a way that wasn’t peaceful—just controlled silence, like the world outside had temporarily agreed not to interrupt what was happening inside. Dominic stood near the glass wall, one hand in his pocket, the other resting on a glass of water he hadn’t touched. He hadn’t slept. Not really. It showed in the stillness of his posture. Not exhaustion in the ordinary sense—but distance. Like part of him was already somewhere else. On the table behind him, multiple screens still displayed fragments of last night’s collapse: media coverage of Vale Industries, Stephen’s takeover announcement, financial analysts trying to make sense of a shift no one fully understood yet. But Dominic wasn’t watching those. His focus was elsewhere. On something older. Something buried. I stepped closer. “Dominic.” He didn’t turn immediately. “I’m fine,” he said, but his voice didn’t match

  • 💔 Reborn: I Betrayed the Billionaire Who Loved Me   Chapter 104: Hostile Takeover

    Roselyn POV “…Stephen Vale just took control of the company.” The words echoed through the gallery like a gunshot. For one second— Everything stopped. The air. The tension. Even Dominic beside me through the earpiece went silent. Then— “How?” Dominic’s voice came low and deadly. Bryan answered immediately. “Emergency board session.” A pause. “Temporary executive override.” “That requires majority support,” Dominic snapped. “Yes.” Bryan hesitated. Then quietly: “…He got it.” The Shift Across the gallery, Victoria watched me carefully. Not smiling now. Observing. And suddenly— I understood something dangerous. Even she hadn’t expected it to happen this fast. “You look surprised,” I said coldly. Victoria tilted her head slightly. “Not surprised.” A pause. “…Interested.” That answer irritated me more than denial would have. Because it confirmed the truth. She had accelerated the chaos— But she wasn’t controlling all of it. Dominic Arrives The gallery do

  • 💔 Reborn: I Betrayed the Billionaire Who Loved Me   Chapter 103: The Invitation

    Roselyn POV “No more screens.” The message glowed coldly against my phone. It’s time we meet properly. Silence filled the penthouse after that. Heavy. Sharp. Dangerous. Dominic took the phone from my hand immediately. His eyes scanned the message once before his expression darkened completely. “No.” One word. Absolute. I leaned back slightly against the desk. “She wants me there.” “She wants access,” he corrected instantly. “She wants control.” The security team continued moving through the penthouse behind us, searching every corner despite already knowing the truth. There had been no intruder. Not physically. Which somehow made Victoria even more terrifying. Bryan’s voice came through the restored comm system. “I’m tracing the message route now.” “You won’t find her,” I said quietly. A pause. Then Bryan sighed. “…Probably not.” Because Victoria never sent anything directly. Every move was layered. Every signal routed. Every action intentional. Dominic

  • 💔 Reborn: I Betrayed the Billionaire Who Loved Me   Chapter 102: Blackout

    Roselyn POV The lights died instantly. No warning. No flicker. Just darkness swallowing the entire penthouse in one violent breath. For half a second— Silence. Then everything moved at once. “Stay behind me.” Dominic’s hand closed around my wrist immediately, pulling me toward him. Not rough. Instinctive. Protective. Somewhere beyond the walls, alarms tried to activate— Then failed. “That’s impossible,” Bryan’s voice crackled through the dead communication line before cutting out completely. The emergency backup should have activated automatically. It didn’t. Which meant— This wasn’t just a breach. It was control. The Darkness The city lights beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows glowed faintly against the night skyline, barely illuminating the room. Enough to see shapes. Movement. Shadows. Dominic’s posture shifted instantly. One arm around me. The other already reaching beneath the table drawer. A gun. Cold fury settled over his features as he checked it

  • 💔 Reborn: I Betrayed the Billionaire Who Loved Me   Chapter 101: The Weakness

    Roselyn POV “Tell me she doesn’t know.” Dominic’s voice was quiet. Too quiet. Not calm. Controlled. Dangerously controlled. The hospital corridor felt colder now. The fluorescent lights above us hummed softly, but the sound only made the silence heavier. Bryan remained frozen on the other end of the call, waiting. Watching. Listening. For my answer. I looked at the screen one last time. The extracted file log remained there. Partial access. Incomplete retrieval. But enough. More than enough. Slowly, I lifted my gaze to Dominic. And for the first time since this began— I stopped calculating. Stopped strategizing. Stopped pretending this was still just another battle. “She knows enough,” I said quietly. The words landed harder than shouting ever could. Dominic’s jaw tightened instantly. Not surprise. Not disbelief. Acceptance. Cold and immediate. “Bryan,” he said without looking away from me. “Lock everything down.” His tone shifted. Not business. Not

  • 💔 Reborn: I Betrayed the Billionaire Who Loved Me   Chapter 50: Opening Fire

    Final Confrontation Setup “Prepare the conference.” Dominic’s voice was calm. “…We end this publicly.” Ending Scene Night. City lights burning. War already begun. I stood beside him. “…Are you afraid?” A pause. Then— He looked at me. “…Only of losing you.” Silence. Then I smiled. “…

  • 💔 Reborn: I Betrayed the Billionaire Who Loved Me   Chapter 43: Three Days to Burn the World

    “Police have issued a notice—” My heart dropped. “…They’re preparing to execute another arrest.” Silence. “…When?” Dominic asked calmly. “…Three days.” Three days. That was all we had left. I tightened my hold on his hand. And this time— I didn’t let go. Roselyn POV “Temporary release.

  • 💔 Reborn: I Betrayed the Billionaire Who Loved Me   Chapter 34: While You Hesitate… I Will Take You

    Roselyn POV The room felt unfamiliar. Not because it wasn’t mine— …but because I wasn’t the same person who had entered it last night. I sat by the window, knees drawn to my chest, staring blankly at the faint glow of the city outside. Everything was quiet. Too quiet. My thoughts weren’t. I

  • 💔 Reborn: I Betrayed the Billionaire Who Loved Me   Chapter 32: The Truth He Chose

    Roselyn POV “…It was me, wasn’t it?” The question hung between us—fragile, trembling, impossible to take back. Dominic didn’t answer. He didn’t move. He didn’t even blink. But in that silence— I understood. My chest tightened violently, like something inside me had just been torn open. “…S
