Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once. 131. Money To The Parents
Rita drove to Diane and Ronald’s home alone, her brand-new leather handbag resting securely on the passenger seat beside her. Inside the interior zip pocket sat a check, already filled out in her neat, looping handwriting, signed, and folded carefully in half.The entire twenty-minute drive through the suburban neighborhood, she had rehearsed the exact wording of her speech in her head. She didn't want it to sound like charity. She didn't want it to sound like she was buying them off, either. She wanted it to land as an offering—a grand, undeniable gesture of filial devotion that would permanently seal her position at the center of the family.Diane opened the front door before Rita could even raise her hand to ring the bell, pulling her into a tight, scented hug like she’d been standing by the entryway waiting for her all morning."There's my future daughter-in-law!" Diane beamed, stepping back to smooth down the lapels of Rita’s cardigan so she could look at her properly. Her ey
Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once. 130. The Proposal
Lucas had stood at the glass display counter of the upscale jewelry store downtown for forty minutes, rejecting three different halo settings before the salesman finally caught on to what he was actually looking for."Bigger," Lucas said for the third time, waving off a modest solitaire that the man held up with velvet gloves. "It needs to be substantial. It needs to be the kind of ring people notice from across a crowded room.""This one is two full carats already, sir," the salesman offered politely, adjusting his cuffs. "An exceptional cut.""Show me the three-carat," Lucas instructed, crossing his arms. "The cushion cut with the pave band."He walked out twenty minutes later with a black velvet box in his coat pocket containing a ring that cost significantly more than his last two paychecks combined. He had swiped the card for their joint account to pay for it—a gesture that felt like its own small, private victory, even though he knew full well that not a single dollar sit
Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once. 129: The Property Arguement
LUCASThe real estate agent had deliberately excused herself to step out onto the manicured back patio under the guise of "letting the space speak to them," which Lucas thought was an utterly ridiculous, pretentious thing to say about a house.Yet Rita had practically fallen in love with it the second they crossed the threshold. She walked through each sunlit room slowly, her fingers trailing delicately along the custom wainscoting and polished granite as if she were already deciding where their velvet sofa would go, where the art prints would hang, and how they would entertain guests during the holidays."This one," Rita said, coming to a stop in the center of the sprawling gourmet kitchen. She turned to face him, her eyes sparkling with pure, unadulterated triumph. "I know we only looked at three properties today, Lucas, but this one... I can genuinely feel it. This is our home."Lucas looked at the soaring ceilings, the high-end brass fixtures, and the floor-to-ceiling window
Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once. 128. She Resigns
ARDENSarah appeared at my desk around mid-morning, leaning against the edge of the partition with her phone already gripped tightly in her hand, her expression a mix of professional gossip and mild amusement."Rita quit," Sarah announced, tapping the screen. "Just saw the official HR email go around to the department. Effective immediately."I didn't look up from my monitor right away, continuing to input a row of quarterly budget figures before turning my head to face her. "Not exactly a shock, is it? She's barely shown her face around here since the whole incident at the gala.""True." Sarah shrugged, shifting her weight. "Guess she finally decided to stop pretending she was ever going to outlast the awkwardness. Honestly, the atmosphere in marketing has been bizarre for weeks anyway.""Makes sense for her to clean out her desk," I said mildly."Anyway." Sarah lingered for a second, clearly hoping I had some deeper, secret insight to share, but when I just gave her a polite
Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once. 127. The Confrontation
Lucas had found out where Jett Mercer’s executive office was located through nothing more complicated than a basic business directory search on his phone.He had sat in his parked car outside his apartment for twenty minutes, staring at the address on his screen, convincing himself with every passing second that this was a entirely reasonable, necessary thing to do. It wasn't stalking. It wasn't making a scene. It was simply a man going to look another man in the eye to talk about something—someone—that concerned them both. He needed answers. He needed Jett to understand that you couldn't just slide into a woman’s life, offer her a life upgrade, and pretend the years that came before didn't count.The drive downtown had felt endless, his knuckles white against the steering wheel, his mind rehearsing a dozen different sharp, articulate speeches. But the sheer scale of the Mercer building lobby alone made his stomach turn slightly the moment he walked through the heavy glass revolving d
Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once. 126: Something Shifts
ARDENArden stopped by the coffee shop near her building the way she did most mornings, same order, same fifteen minutes before work actually started. She was waiting at the counter when someone stepped up close beside her."Arden."She turned. Lucas was standing there, hands in his pockets, watching her with an expression she didn't recognize on him."What are you doing here?""I know you come here every morning. I remembered." He said it flatly, like it was an explanation instead of the deeply unsettling thing it actually was. "I wanted to talk to you.""About what.""When did it start. With him." Lucas's voice stayed low, controlled, but his eyes had a fixed quality to them that made her skin prickle. "Was it while we were still together? Is that why you never fought for us? Because you already had somewhere better to go?""Lucas—""I need an actual answer." He stepped closer, not touching her, but close enough that she had to consciously stop herself from stepping back. "
