Reborn: The Billionaire Second Chance Bride Chapter 61
MIA’S POVI held the pieces of myself from last night, as I got ready for work, fortunately I didn’t have to go to Blackwood. Today I resume as president and I wasn’t sure what Ethan’s presence would do to me, after last night it was clear to that I was nothing but a tool against father to him.I drove to Carter enterprises preparing myself mentally cause I knew they would be preparing for me as well. The company felt different, nothing had change from the last time but I could sense the change because people had changed too.The conversations stopped when I walked past, every one stood up and took a bow, “good morning ma’am” they chorused as if they had rehearsed it over and over again. I felt very uneasy by the sudden respect, before now these people never stopped to acknowledge me. I gave an awkward smile, “congratulations, on your new position” the lower level manager stepped forward with a gift bag.“Thank you” I took the bag and hurried into the reserved elevator meant for top
Reborn: The Billionaire Second Chance Bride Chapter 60
MIA’S POVThe elevator doors closed behind us. For the first time in the last hour, the noise stopped. No arguments. No board members pretending neutrality while choosing sides. No carefully sharpened smiles from Lily.No silence from Robert that somehow felt worse than shouting. Just the soft mechanical hum of the elevator descending through the building.I leaned back against the mirrored wall slowly, letting out a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding.My hands still felt tight. Like my body hadn’t understood the meeting was over. Beside me, Ethan Black loosened the cuffs of his sleeves with calm precision, as if the last two hours hadn’t involved a corporate war disguised as a board meeting.“You’re bleeding.” I blinked.“What?”His gaze dropped briefly. My nails. Small crescent marks pressed into my palm hard enough to break skin. “Oh.” I hadn’t even noticed. The elevator reached the underground garage with a quiet chime.The doors slid open. “Come on,” he said. I frowned fai

MIA’S POV“Waiting won’t help.” The words stayed with me long after I said them. The message on my phone still burned at the back of my mind.You weren’t supposed to walk away.In my first life, I would have panicked. I would have hidden. Spent days replaying every possibility until fear swallowed whatever chance I had to act.But standing outside that event beside Ethan, something felt different now. Not because I was fearless. Because I was tired. Tired of constantly arriving too late to my own life.And I knew something was coming. The opening of the Carter Group’s new business Carter technology.I remembered it clearly. Ryan had been working on it for over two years and it finally is being launched with him as the CEO. In my first life, my father had announced Ryan as the CEO of Carter tech while maintaining his executive authority over at the main as president due to the lack of availabile hands. Everyone praised the decision. I had even defended it publicly when investors quest
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

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 POVDarkness fills my apartment. Complete. Total.The kind that makes the air feel heavier.“Ethan?”“I’m here.”His voice through the phone is the only thing anchoring me right now.“What do you mean someone cut the power?”“I mean exactly that.”My throat tightens.“Like… a blackout?”“No.”
