Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once. 48. How I Feel with Him
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
Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once. 44. The Plan
ARDENThe SUV drove through the dark streets in complete silence.Daisy sat next to me staring out the window. I could see her reflection in the glass. Tears were still streaming down her face.We pulled up to my apartment building and the driver got out to open our door."Thank you," I said quietly.He nodded and got back in the car.We watched the SUV drive away and then I led Daisy upstairs to my apartment.The moment we were inside and I locked the door behind us Daisy turned to me."Why did you agree to that?" she asked. Her voice was shaking. "Why did you say yes?"I looked at her frightened confused face and made a decision."It's best if you don't know the full plan right now," I said."What?""Just do exactly what Mrs. Sinclair said. Change your statement. Tell the police you were confused. This is the best option you have.""But Arden—""Daisy." I grabbed her shoulders gently. "Trust me. This is the right move."She stared at me with those wide scared eyes.I didn't tell he

ARDENMrs. Sinclair set the folder down on the coffee table between us.Then she walked over to the chair across from the couch and sat down slowly. Got comfortable. Crossed her legs in one smooth elegant motion.Everything about her screamed power and control."I appreciate honesty," she said. "So I'm going to be honest with you."She looked at both of us. Her expression was calm and pleasant."My daughter Thea is a good girl," she continued. "Excellent student. Very bright. She has a wonderful future ahead of her. But like all teenagers she's made some mistakes. Poor judgment..bad influences."I stayed quiet and waited."This whole situation with Blair has been tragic for everyone involved," Mrs. Sinclair said. "Such a terrible loss. That poor girl. Her family must be devastated."She paused like she was giving a moment of respectful silence."But," she continued, "I don't believe my daughter was responsible. Not really. Not in the way people are suggesting."Daisy's hand tightened

ARDEN“Arden! Hope you didn't have it too hard yesterday!” She looked at me like she was truly concerned.“It wasn't so bad. It was a blessing in disguise!” I said smiling. Rita looked surprised and annoyed but then she changed her face to relief.“Thats good to hear! Well, Mr Richard wants to see

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

ARDENThe other workers burst out laughing and Harry's eyes went wide with shock and I felt my face burn with embarrassment but I kept my professional face on because I wasn't going to let these assholes see me rattled."I'm here to observe your delivery process," I said firmly, trying to sound con

ARDENI slammed into the man with everything I had.We both went down hard and the crate crashed right where he was standing. The impact was explosive and it sent the beer and broken glass flying everywhere making a massive sound.Harry ran to my side immediately, "Arden! Are you okay?""I'm fine,
