ARDEN

Kelvin looked at her like she was speaking a foreign language.

Rita kept pushing. Touched his arm again. "Come on Arden. Just a little longer. We're all having such a good time. Why end it so early?"

"I really need to go Rita," I said firmly.

Rita's face fell for just a second. Just a flash of disappointment or frustration before she plastered the smile back on. "Okay fine. Well you have a safe trip home then." She turned to Kelvin. Her hand was still on his arm. "I guess it's just

  • Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once.   87. The Shift

    ARDEN The knowledge was still sitting there when I woke up. I reached for my phone before I was even fully awake, which was embarrassing enough on its own. I pulled up his social media and just stared at it. The expo post was still there. There were comments in the thousands, still climbing, people tagging their friends and losing their minds over the fact that ShadowKnight had actually shown up somewhere in person. I put the phone face down on the mattress. I wasn't going to contact him. I had made my choices and I was going to live with them. But lying there in the quiet of my apartment I understood something I hadn't fully put together before. Every single time Jett had shown up for me, it was never just coincidence. I used to think it was a cruel joke, the way he appeared everywhere. It was one person finding every available way to show up for another person without ever being able to say it plainly. After I got reborn, at first, I dreaded it. It felt weird. Why was it

  • Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once.   86. ShadowKnight

    ARDEN The venue looked exactly the way I'd planned it. Better, actually. And I needed it to stay that way. Colby found me near the showcase area, practically bouncing on his heels. "Okay, pre-registration numbers are already breaking what we projected. Morning social traffic is insane. I think today is going to be massive." That's what we planned for." I was still moving, eyes scanning the floor. "As long as the competition rounds start on time the energy will carry itself." "Right, right." He fell into step beside me, scrolling his phone. "Oh. Oh, okay. You need to stop walking for this one." "I really need to check—" "SK just posted on his private account. He's coming today." I stopped walking. "SK?" Colby stared at me like I'd just asked him what a video game was. "You don't know who SK is?" "Should I?" I tried thinking about if that name came up during research for top players to invite but I remember I gave up on following that route after being turned down by a few re

  • Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once.   85. Distance

    ARDENMy stomach dropped. "Oh, sorry—I thought I'd be checked by Dr. Mercer?""Oh no, you were transferred." She handed me a card with directions. "Just sit in the waiting area until you're called."It felt like a punch to the gut. I took the card numbly and sank into one of the chairs in the waiting area.So much for all my dramatic reunion scenarios.My mind wandered to watching Jett walk away from the fountain at the venue after he saw Lucas kiss me. The way his jaw had tightened and the hurt that flashed across his face before he turned and left."Stupid," I muttered out loud, then immediately looked around to see if anyone had heard me. I bit my lip, trying to calm myself down.What was I expecting? Obviously he wouldn't want anything to do with me anymore after what he witnessed. And honestly, I deserved this."Arden Steele?"I followed a nurse down the hallway to an examination room. The doctor who entered a few minutes later was an older man with a warm smile that immediately

  • Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once.   84. Worst Case Scenarios

    ARDEN I arrived at the hospital for my genetic testing appointment, walking through the entrance with my mind already somewhere else entirely. I kept thinking about the text I'd gotten from Jett yesterday. Just a simple reminder not to forget my appointment, the time and nothing more. He never mentioned seeing me with Lucas at the orchestra show nor acknowledged what happened. The message felt clipped and distant as though he was deliberately creating space between us. It stung and hurt. But I didn't blame him for it. I'd put myself in this position. All I'd replied was "thank you." He'd read it, the checkmarks showed that but he never responded. Now I was thinking about how I'd face him today. How awkward it would be. How he'd act toward me since that message felt so cold. I was nervous because I had no idea how our interaction would go. My mind started spinning through different scenarios, each one more dramatic and ridiculous than the last. Scenario One: The Ice King I

  • Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once.   83. Bait II

    ARDENI pretended to head back toward the building entrance but instead slipped around the corner near the parking garage entrance where I could still see them through the gap between two pillars.At first their interaction was awkward. Lucas shifted his weight. "So... the office stuff seems intense lately.""Yeah, it's been a lot," Rita said.Then she took a step closer and something shifted. The mask she'd been wearing around me dropped away completely. She smiled differently now, warmer and more intimate. She lightly touched Lucas's arm."Congratulations on getting your relationship back on track," she said softly. "I knew even with Arden talking to that guy from the hospital and all your suspicions, she'd never actually cheat on you."Then she asked carefully, "Did you two ever talk about that? Like really talk about it?"Lucas shifted his weight. "Not deeply. But she apologized for leaving with him at the wedding. We're moving past it.""Oh good, I'm glad it worked out." Rita pau

  • Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once.   82. The Bait

    ARDEN"I need you to come with me to meet Lucas's mother this weekend."Rita blinked. "What?""Lucas's mother has been making comments about wanting to see me again. The last time we met, it was..." I paused, choosing my words carefully. "Intense. She was sweet about everything, but the comments about me being 'all alone in this world' were a bit much."Rita's expression was carefully neutral, but I could see her brain working."Now that things are getting serious between me and Lucas," I continued, watching her face, "and we're working through our issues and things are looking up, I want to make a good impression. I want to show his family that there IS someone in my corner. That it's not as isolated as it seems.""And you want me there for that?" Rita's tone was skeptical."I need a familiar face there for support." I kept my voice steady. I deliberately didn't lean into any sisterly bond angle. That would be too obvious after our recent fight, and Rita would clock it immediately.

    ARDEN The girl was still in the doorway. "So," she said. "I saw you needed saving so I saved you. We're even now. Square." "Thank you," I said quietly. She nodded like that settled it and turned to leave. "Wait," I said. "The bruises…and the band aids on your knuckles. Are you being bullie

    ARDEN"I'm fine," I bit out."Good." Lucas smiled but it was tight around the edges. "Because everything I said was because I care about you, Arden. You understand that right? I'm just trying to protect what we have."Rewriting history yet again! Historians got nothing on him. This man was genuinel
