Reborn To Break His Heart Chapter 20: One last chance
“Wait.”The single word slipped from Aria’s lips before she could stop it. It cut through the night air like glass against stone. Ethan froze mid-step, his broad shoulders stiffening as though he were bracing for an impact.Slowly, he turned. His eyes found hers, dark and raw, stripped of every layer of arrogance he once wore like armour. For the first time in years, Aria saw the man she had fallen in love with, not the empire builder, not the ruthless CEO, but Ethan, the boy who had once stolen her heart with a smile.“You don’t get to just walk away after saying all that,” Aria said, her voice shaking despite her best attempt to steady it. “You can’t throw your love at me like a confession and then disappear into the night.”Ethan took a cautious step closer, still in disbelief. “Aria, I meant every word. But I won’t chain you to a past that already hurt you. If leaving me is what gives you peace, I’ll take it.”She caught her breath; the sincerity in his tone unsettled her, tugging
Reborn To Break His Heart Chapter 19: A love confessed
The soft glow of the lamp in Aria’s living room spilt across the floorboards, pooling around the couch where she sat curled beneath a blanket. Her skin still felt clammy from the fever that had only just begun to break, but what unsettled her more was the silence that lingered in the air. Ethan sat a few feet away, perched on the edge of the armchair like a man afraid to move too close, afraid to push too far.For the first time in years, there was no malice in his eyes, no cold calculation. Just weariness, and something deeper she refused to name.Aria cleared her throat. “You don’t have to stay. I’m not dying.”Ethan’s lips curved faintly, though it wasn’t amusing. “I know. But I needed to be here. I need you to know I’m not going anywhere, not anymore.”Her fingers tightened around the edge of the blanket. “You say that like it’s a promise.”“It is.”The words hung in the air, heavy and hard to ignore in the quiet of her apartment. Aria wanted to look away, to put up her walls like
Reborn To Break His Heart Chapter 18: The turning tide
The letter still trembled in Aria’s hand long after the ink had blurred from her tears. She pressed it shut quickly, not ready to face what the words might do to her resolve.If you are reading this, it means I never had the courage to say it out loud…Those words haunted her all night.By morning, her office was a battlefield of reporters, invitations, and statements to approve. She threw herself into work until Mia burst in, tablet in his hand.“Aria,” Mia said breathlessly, “you are expected at the Innovation Gala tonight. They moved the schedule forward. It’s… huge.”Aria rubbed her forehead. “The last thing I need is another room full of questions.”“That is exactly why you need to go,” Mia pressed. “If you don’t, Selena’s shadow still lingers. People need to see you standing.”Aria exhaled. She hated that Mia was right.Before she could argue further, the door opened and Ethan filled the frame. His presence still had the audacity to send her heart tumbling.“I will take her,” Et
Reborn To Break His Heart Chapter 17: Selena falls
The newsroom was full of activities. Screens blared with headlines, phones rang nonstop, and camera crews rushed in and out of studios. For once, though, the centre of chaos wasn’t Aria; it was Selena.Aria sat in her office, hands folded tightly on her desk. Across the glass wall, her assistant Mia walked nervously with a tablet in hand. “It’s everywhere,” Mia whispered.“Leaked contracts, stolen data, manipulation of sponsors Selena’s name is plastered on every feed. It’s blowing up.”Aria’s lips tightened. She had no energy to celebrate Selena’s downfall. She should feel vindicated. Instead, the storm outside her window felt creepy, like the one inside her chest.“Leave it,” Aria murmured. “I’ll watch later.”But she didn’t need to. A knock sounded, sharp and urgent. Ryan stepped in, phone still pressed to his ear. “Turn on Channel Six,” he said quickly. “Ethan’s about to go live.”Mia grabbed the remote and turned on the screen on the wall. The camera showed Ethan Blackwood standin
Reborn To Break His Heart Chapter 16: Ethan's breaking point
The flash of cameras still burnt in Ethan’s eyes long after the gala lights had dimmed. He watched Aria tonight, watched her own the stage, watched her silence a room of industry titans, and watched her humiliate Selena with nothing more than grace and eloquence.And he had never felt prouder. Or more broken.Ryan found him first, sitting in a shadowed corner of the gala hall when people started to leave. Ethan had loosened his tie, running a hand down his face like it might wipe away the emptiness inside him.“You look like hell,” Ryan said flatly, folding his arms.Ethan gave a humourless laugh. “Fitting, isn’t it?”Ryan didn’t smile. He dropped into the seat across from him, staring with a weight that felt heavier than any accusation. “What are you doing, Ethan?”Ethan’s jaw tightened. “What I should have done years ago. Protect and fight for her.”Ryan scoffed. “Protect her? You destroyed her. You left her when she needed you. And now? Now you sit here, drinking pity like it’s cha
Reborn To Break His Heart Chapter 15: The gala showdown
The ballroom was shining brightly, with chandeliers casting light over the marble floor and the well-dressed guests. Cameras clicked as soon as Aria walked onto the carpet. She was wearing a dark blue gown that fit her perfectly and flowed behind her as she moved.People began to whisper, some in admiration, others with hidden thoughts. But she didn’t bother herself. Not tonight.Ethan was already inside, dark suit tailored sharp against his broad frame, jaw set as he stood near the entrance with key donors. His eyes locked on hers at once, and for a fraction of a second, his expression softened. Then it was gone, replaced by the cool mask of composure he had mastered so well.“Ms. Whitmore,” a reporter called, thrusting a mic forward. “What does tonight’s gala mean for your brand’s future?”Aria smiled, calm and practised. “It’s not just about fashion tonight; it’s about women, about reclaiming space and power in industries that often silence us.”Her voice rang clear.
