Reborn: The Billionaire Second Chance Bride Chapter 42
MIA’S POVI got home, with the proposal still at the back of my mind I walked absentmindedly into the house. Inside, everything looked the same. Too normal. Too calm. Which, in this family, usually meant the opposite.“Mia, you’re back.”My father’s voice carried from the living room. I turned, forcing a small smile as I walked in.Robert Carter stood near the center of the room, a glass of whiskey in his hand, his posture relaxed in a way I hadn’t seen in days. That alone was enough to make me pause.“Dad,” I greeted.“Good,” he said, nodding once as if ticking something off a mental list. “You’re here.” My brows pulled together slightly. “Was I expected?” A faint smile touched his lips. “Tomorrow night, yes.” He replied looking at my direction but not at me, his eyes held a mix of happiness and relieve. Before I could ask anything else, my mother’s voice cut in. “We have something to celebrate,” Margaret Carter said as she stepped forward, her expression composed, polished, perfe

MIA’S POVJason’s office smelled exactly the same. Clean. Polished. Controlled. Like nothing in his life ever slipped out of place.I stood just at the door for a second longer than necessary, letting my gaze sweep across the room the dark wood desk, the floor to ceiling windows, unlike Ethan’s own that faces the city his faces into the flower garden his mother owned.Familiar.Too familiar I always loved staring into the garden with the brightest smile on my face.Once upon a time, I had imagined myself here. Sitting across from him, planning a future that now felt like it belonged to someone else entirely.“Mia.”His voice pulled me back. Soft.Careful. Like he was approaching something fragile. I turned, forcing a small smile onto my lips.“Jason.” He looked… relieved, happy, even excited. That was the first thing I noticed. Not guilt. Not tension. Relief. Like just seeing me here had eased something inside him.Interesting.“You came to see me” he said, stepping closer,his voice l

MIA’S POVMy fingers tightened around the door handle.“You’re the trigger.” The words echoed in my head, louder now, heavier than before. I didn’t move. I couldn’t. Not yet. The room behind me was quiet, but I could feel him there. Still. Watching. Waiting. Always waiting.Slowly, I turned. Ethan hadn’t moved far. He stood a few steps behind me, one hand resting lightly against the edge of his desk, his posture relaxed—but his eyes… his eyes were anything but.Sharp.Focused.On me.“What does that mean?” I asked, my voice quieter than I intended, but steady enough not to betray the storm inside me.Silence stretched between us. He didn’t answer immediately. Of course he didn’t. Ethan never gave anything easily.Instead, he straightened slightly, pushing off the desk, his movements slow, deliberate. Controlled. Like everything about him. Like he had all the time in the world.Unlike me.“You already know what it means,” he said finally. I frowned. “Then say it.” His gaze darkened j

ETHAN’S POV“They’re preparing to eliminate you.” The words settled between us like a loaded weapon. I didn’t move. Neither did she.Mia stood exactly where I’d left her too still, too quiet. Most people would have reacted by now. I could feel the fear, panic, questions brewing inside. But she was silent but it wasn’t empty.It was thinking.Calculating.And that more than anything was dangerous. Which shouldn't have bothered me but it did, and an undeniable urge to stop it to protect her from her own fears.My gaze sharpened on her face, tracking every little expression. The slight tightening of her jaw. The way her fingers curled subtly at her sides. The barely noticeable rise and fall of her chest.Fear was there. She just refused to let it control her.Interesting.A slow breath left me as I straightened from the desk, my fingers brushing against the polished surface before I began walking toward her.Deliberate.Measured.Each step I took closed the distance until there was noth

MIAS POVI took several steps back retreating into the pool area, the feeling of betrayal sat heavily on my chest, I knew they were together I knew he would always choose her over me. But I didn’t know why I felt betrayed, I felt my chest tighten, my eyes moisten.Suddenly I felt a conviction to confront them, every step I took towards them felt like walking on glass, my eyes blurred with tears.I reached for the door, Then I heard it“…she’s starting to suspect.” My breath caught, I didn’t move, Didn’t breathe, That voice, It wasn’t Lily’s.Cold. Sharp. Controlled.Another voice followed. It was lower, dangerous in a way that made my skin crawl. “Then stop playing around.”A pause. Then,“Or we finish it now. Before Mia becomes a problem.” My blood ran cold, They were talking about me.Not vaguely. Not indirectly.Specifically.I pressed myself closer to the wall. My heart pounded so loudly I was sure they could hear it through the silence. This wasn’t just Lily and Jason anymor

MIA’S POVEthan’s words wouldn’t leave my head. “Don’t let him touch you.” They echoed, low and steady, like a warning carved into my mind.I tightened my grip on my bag as I stepped out of the building, the cool air brushing against my skin, but it did nothing to calm the storm inside me.Why did it matter? Why did he matter?I exhaled sharply.No.This wasn’t about Ethan.This wasn’t about whatever strange, suffocating tension existed between us. This was about control. This was about survival.This has been my mantra for a whileAnd right now—Jason was the easiest way in.I paused just before the car door, my reflection staring back at me through the tinted glass. For a moment, I saw her. The old me.Soft.Hesitant. Easy to read.Easy to break. My lips curved slightly “Not anymore.” I opened the door and stepped in.I drove home, the drive was loud my favorite music blasted through the speakers filling every corner of the car trying to drown out all my thoughts, I needed a clear

MIA’S POVI shouldn’t have hesitated.That was my first thought as I stepped out of the restaurant.The cool night air brushed against my skin, but it didn’t ease the heat rising inside me. My fingers curled at my sides as I replayed everything—Jason’s voice, his touch, the way I almost leaned in.

MIA’S POV“Mia?”Lily’s voice floated through the door again.Soft.Sweet.Deceptive.“Can we talk?”My hand hovered over the lock.Every instinct in me screamed the same thing.Don’t open it.Ethan’s warning rang in my mind.Don’t trust anyone in that house.Especially your father.But Lily…My si
