Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once. 50. Getting to Know Jett Mercer II
ARDEN"I'm fine.""You need to find someone amd settle down before I die. Or is this your way of torturing me?”Jett's eyes found mine across the room. "I'm working on it. And you and I both know that you’re too stubborn to give up the ghost.”"Working on it?, the older voice scoffed and then continued. You've been saying that for three years! I'm going to set up more blind dates!" "Don't you dare! You've tortured me enough.”The older man chuckled. "Then you'll do something for me. Attend Mr Gordon’s daughter wedding next month. He’s one of our investors. You'll represent the family."Jett looked amused. "I'll take awkward wedding guest over awkward dinner any day.""Good. And while you're there look for a nice girl from a good family. There will be plenty of suitable—"Jett pulled the phone away from his ear. "Grandfather you're breaking up. I think the signal is bad.""Don't you dare fake bad reception with me!""Can't hear you. Love you. Bye." Jett hung up quickly.He turned to

ARDENI woke up to the smell of something really good.I opened my eyes slowly. The room was dimmer now. Evening light was coming through the window instead of the harsh afternoon sun.Jett was sitting on the couch with takeout containers spread across the small table. He looked up and noticed I was awake."Good. You're up," he said. "You need to eat."I sat up slowly. My body still felt weak but definitely better than before. The heaviness wasn't as bad."What time is it?" I asked."Almost seven. You slept for about five hours."Five hours. When was the last time I slept that long during the day?Jett stood up and brought over one of the containers. "I got you soup and rice. Nothing heavy. Your stomach needs to ease back into proper food."The soup smelled amazing. Some kind of chicken and vegetable. Steam was still rising from it."Have you been here the whole time?" I asked."I had rounds but I came back." He sat down in the chair near my bed. "Someone needs to make sure you actual

ARDENI looked at him. "What? No. You can't do that.""You need proper rest. Not a loud shared room with a TV blasting game shows all day.""Jett I can't let you pay for—"He looked at me directly. "Arden. You collapsed from exhaustion. Your body is literally shutting down. You don't get to argue about this."Dr. Morrison nodded in agreement. "The recovery suite will be much better for your condition. I'll make the arrangements now."They both left before I could protest anymore.An hour later nurses came to move me to a different floor.The recovery suite was on the top floor of the hospital. The moment they wheeled me in I could see it was completely different from the regular room.It looked more like a hotel than a hospital.There was a real bed. Not a hospital bed. An actual comfortable looking bed with nice sheets. A couch by the window. A small kitchenette with a mini fridge. A big window that let in natural light, and a bathroom."Wow," I said.The nurse helping me settle in s

ARDENSomething was wrong.The moment my eyes opened, the whole room felt like it was spinning. My head was pounding and my body was so heavy I could barely push myself upright without the nightstand tipping toward me.My phone screen was full of missed calls and texts from Richard."Where are you?""This is completely unacceptable.""Call me immediately."I dragged myself to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face, then made the mistake of looking in the mirror. The person staring back at me looked exhausted. Fucking hell…The past few weeks had piled up without me noticing. Going from one thing to another. When had I last truly rested? Not just closed my eyes but actually rested?After this whole Epic game saga, I’m calling in for a proper leave. I was given a second chance to live, not to dig my own grave.I got dressed with shaking hands, buttoned my shirt wrong and had to start over, then grabbed my bag and headed for the door.Three steps into the hallway, my vision s
Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once. 46. Closure
ARDEN My desk looked like a tornado had hit it. There were papers everywhere. Printouts of game character designs, marketing campaign examples from other companies and energy drink cans stacked in a corner. I had been living and breathing Epic Games for weeks now. It had been three weeks since I handed Sophia Lane that thread and watched her unravel everything. The families had tried to fly their daughters out of the country the moment the investigation started gaining traction. But the travel ban stopped them. Sophia had made the case public enough that running wasn't an option anymore.The trial wasn't perfect as Sawyer denied ever speaking to the girls. They got six months of community service. Light considering what they did. Their lawyers argued they didn't push Blair, they had just created a hostile environment. But at least their faces were plastered everywhere. Everyone knew what they had done. Daisy and her mother moved to Connecticut last week. New school. Full schola

ARDENThe security guards immediately released my arms and stepped back.I almost stumbled forward from the sudden lack of resistance. My breathing was heavy from struggling and my hair had come loose from its ponytail.I turned around still trying to catch my breath.A woman was getting out of the car that had just pulled up. It was sleek and black and looked like it cost more than most people's houses.She was tall. Probably five foot nine or ten. Dressed in a cream colored pantsuit that fit her perfectly. Her dark hair was pulled back in a low bun. Diamond studs in her ears caught the light.She looked like the physical representation of wealth, elegance and power.There was something familiar about her face but I couldn't place it. As though I had seen her somewhere before but couldn't remember where.She walked toward us with confident, purposeful strides. Her heels clicked against the pavement.When she reached us she looked at the security guards. "What's going on here?"One of

ARDENDanny almost fell out of his chair when he saw us walk into the pediatric ward."Arden?" He stood up so fast he knocked his plastic cup off the armrest. "What are you doing here?""Something brought me around so I decided to stop by," I said, which was a complete lie and we both knew it.A wo

ARDENOf course it was him.Of all the people in all the hospitals in this entire city, the person standing there holding all my bags like he hadn't just appeared out of thin air was Jett Mercer.I stared at him. He looked back at me completely unbothered, like finding me in a hospital lobby buried
