MIA’S POV

The room didn’t feel like mine anymore.

Not with all of them in it.

Not with the broken glass still glinting on the floor.

Not with the faint, bitter smell of what could have killed me still lingering in the air.

And definitely not with her standing there like she belonged. Victoria Hayes didn’t move from where she stood just inside the door.

Calm.

Too calm.

Her gaze flicked over the room once more before settling on me again sharp, assessing, unreadable.

Like she was trying to calcu

  • Reborn: The Billionaire Second Chance Bride   Chapter 58

    MIA’S POVThe room didn’t descend into chaos all at once. It broke slowly. A glass hit the floor somewhere behind me, the sound sharp enough to cut through the music. Conversations broke apart mid-sentence. Someone called out, uncertain at first, then louder when no one answered.By the time people realized what had happened, the space had already shifted. The man on the floor wasn’t moving. Staff reached him first, dropping to their knees, calling his name, checking for a response. Guests hovered just far enough away to avoid involvement but close enough to witness everything.It slowly turned to a scene from a drama no one wanted to leave. No one wanted to miss it. I stepped forward before I thought about it.Instinct. Ethan’s hand closed around my wrist. It wasn’t forceful, but it was enough to stop me. I turned to him, the words already forming, He shook his head once.“Stay put.” He commanded without an option to refuse. I stayed put, I looked back at the scene. The staff had cle

  • Reborn: The Billionaire Second Chance Bride   Chapter 57

    MIA’S POVI listened to the recording three times before I stopped. Not because I understood it fully but because I had heard enough to know it wasn’t ordinary.The first time, I focused on Lily. Her voice, her confidence, the ease with which she spoke about things she didn’t think twice about. That part wasn’t new.The second time, I listened to Jason. That was where things shifted. He didn’t interrupt her. He didn’t argue, he didn’t share his own thoughts he just let her speak and when he spoke. He didn’t even sound particularly interested.And yet… the conversation kept moving exactly where he wanted it to go. By the third time, I wasn’t listening to the words anymore. I was paying attention to the gaps between them.The pauses.The timing.The way he let her fill in the silence just enough to reveal more than she intended. It wasn’t casual. It wasn’t careless. It was deliberate. He was mining her. I lowered the phone slowly, staring at the screen long after the audio had ended.On

  • Reborn: The Billionaire Second Chance Bride   Chapter 56

    MIA’S POVBy the time I got home, the silence felt different. Last night, it had pressed in on me, heavy and suffocating, like it was waiting for me to fall apart.Now, it just… lingered. Like something unfinished. I dropped my bag on the table but didn’t move any further into the apartment. My thoughts kept circling back not to the humiliation, not even to Lily but to something else entirely.The way Ethan Black had looked at me. Not with disappointment, but with certainty.. Like he already knew exactly what I would do before I did it. That bothered me more than anything else.I exhaled slowly and picked up my phone, staring at the blank screen for a second before locking it again. Thinking wasn’t enough. If I wanted to understand what was happening around me, I needed to see it for myself.Which meant going to Lily. The decision settled more easily than I expected. There was no hesitation this time, no internal argument about whether I should or shouldn’t.I just… went. The Carter m

    MIA’S POVReturning to my apartment last night felt like a daze, guilty completely consumed me inside and out, I didn’t sleep. Not even a blink, Every time I closed my eyes, I saw it again. The stage. The lights. My father’s hand on my shoulder.And my own voice…. As I gave it all away, the same thing I was given a second chance for and I let it go Again. By morning, the silence in my apartment felt heavier than the night before. Too quiet. Too still. Like it was waiting for me to decide something.A soft knock broke through it. “Mia?” Sophie didn’t wait for an answer before stepping in. She looked like she hadn’t slept either. “You didn’t answer your phone,” she said, scanning my face. “I was starting to think you’d disappeared.”I reached for my phone and that’s when I saw the missed calls, I was too out of it to notice, I sighed and placed it back.“I’m here,” I replied, Barely but I was. Her eyes narrowed slightly. “You don’t look okay.” She said placing a palm on my forehead “I’m

    MIA’S POVThe applause didn’t stop, It followed me. Down the steps. Across the room. Into every breath I tried to take. “Congratulations, Lily”“You deserve it”“What a beautiful moment” I didn’t hear the rest. Didn’t want to either. Because every word felt like it was pressing against my skin. I kept walking.“Mia” I didn’t stop. “Mia.” A hand caught my wrist. Firm. Unyielding. I froze. I already knew who it was.I didn’t turn. “Look at me.” His voice was low, Controlled. His voice held no anger rather it was disappointment.Slowly… I did. Ethan Black’s eyes locked onto mine.No softness. No hesitation. Just… precision. “You knew,” he said. Not a question. A statement. My throat tightened.“Yes.” The word came out small. His grip tightened Just slightly. “And you still said it.” I didn’t answer. Because there was nothing to say.“Why?” That… That I didn’t have. “I…” I started and then I stopped. My chest felt tight. “I couldn’t”“Couldn’t what?” His voice cut through mine.“Couldn’t

  • Reborn: The Billionaire Second Chance Bride   Chapter 53

    MIA’S POVI woke up anxious, that familiar fear anytime something big was to happen at home returned, I pushed through and dragged myself to the bathroom. My door cam rang as I got out, without another thought I went for the door. A cloth jacket almost bumped into me.“Hey!!” Sophie came after, smiling ear to ear, “I know your not expecting me, but I came anyways” she said walking in like she owned the place, which I didn’t mind.Her presence lifted my mood a little, “you know, you can come anytime” I replied closing the door behind me.“So let’s get you ready” she said excitedly, as she raised the dress in the air.The mansion looked exactly the same. That was the first thing I noticed. The lights. The music. The polished marble floors reflecting people who didn’t belong to me. It hadn’t changed. But I had.At least… I thought I had. I Sophie had dressed me in a lilac back drop dress, exposing my back to just above my waist, the front barely covering the sides of my boobs, with a lo
