Chapter 121

The idea came from Dante.

He brought it to Matthias on Thursday morning with the folder already prepared. Not a spontaneous suggestion. Something he'd been building overnight, working through the mechanics of it carefully before presenting it.

Matthias read the folder. Set it down. Looked at Dante.

"She'll cooperate," Dante said. "She's frightened enough of Cassius to understand that helping us is the only position that offers her any real protection."

"You're certain."

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    Recognised

    Chapter 152We stood on the same side of the gate.Neither of us moved immediately. The evening air was cool and the estate lights were beginning to come on along the perimeter path and somewhere behind me Matthias was a steady, quiet presence, and none of that was what I was aware of most.What I was aware of most was his eyes.I had been trying, since the moment he stepped through the gate, to locate the familiarity I felt when I looked at him. It wasn't his hair, turned mostly silver now, or the line of his jaw, or the careful way he held his shoulders. It wasn't anything I could point to as a specific physical feature.It was the eyes.Not their colour. Not their shape. Something in the quality of them. The particular way they received what they were looking at fully, carefully, with the patience of someone who had learned that looking properly the first time mattered because you might not get a second chance.I looked at people that way.I had always looked at people that way. I

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    The gate

    Chapter 151The note was still in Matthias's hand when I stood up.He hadn't put it down. I noticed that, the way he was holding it not as something to be filed or acted on but as something he was still deciding how to give me. Like he understood that the piece of paper wasn't operational intelligence. It was personal. And personal things needed to be handed over differently."Dorian Voss," I said again, out loud, to hear what it sounded like in the room."Yes," Matthias said.I looked at the window. At the late afternoon light coming through it, ordinary and unhurried, entirely indifferent to what was happening inside."He's still at the gate," I said."Dante confirmed two minutes ago. He hasn't moved. Hasn't asked again." Matthias held my gaze. "Just waiting."I thought about patience. About what it took to stand at someone else's iron gate for forty minutes without demanding anything. Without pushing. Just standing on the other side of the bars and waiting to be let in or turned aw

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    The Quiet week

    Chapter 150The week had no incidents to report.That was how I'd started measuring time without quite noticing, counting days by what hadn't gone wrong rather than what had. Seven mornings without an emergency. Seven evenings of ordinary dinners. My father, fully cleared by his doctor, back at the estate working light hours in maintenance, joking with the younger staff like nothing had ever happened to him. Elena, on campus and off it, texting me about seminars and nothing else, because nothing else needed managing anymore.I let myself believe it.Not foolishly. I knew Cassius was still out there, patient, regrouping somewhere across an ocean. I knew the danger hadn't resolved so much as paused. But a week of genuine peace, after everything, felt like something worth letting myself have without constantly bracing for its end.The message came on a Wednesday afternoon.I was in the library with Matthias, both of us reading in companionable silence, when Dante knocked and entered with

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    Aria's Birthday Celebrated Properly

    Chapter 149The dining room was decorated simply.No grand display. Matthias had asked me what I wanted and I'd told him honestly, nothing elaborate, just the people who mattered and a table they could all sit around together. He'd taken that instruction seriously, in the particular way he took everything I said seriously.I stood in the doorway for a moment before going in, looking at the small gathering already settling into chairs.My parents, side by side. Elena, already deep in conversation with Dante, who was standing slightly apart from the table with his hands in his pockets and the specific discomfort of a man who understood social gatherings about as well as he understood emotional small talk, which was to say, not very well, but who had come anyway because I'd asked him to.Kane, by contrast, looked completely at home. He'd arrived an hour early, inspected the kitchen with open curiosity, and was now sitting with a glass of wine, entirely unbothered by being the largest and

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    Mathias says it

    Chapter 148 The morning was unremarkable. That was the thing I'd remember about it later, how little it announced itself. No threat outside, no crisis pending, no operation in progress. Just sunlight through the curtains, the smell of coffee already started downstairs, and Matthias sitting on the edge of the bed pulling on his shirt with the unhurried economy of a man who had nowhere urgent to be. I lay there watching him. "You're staring," he said, without turning. "I'm appreciating," I said. "There's a difference." He glanced back at me, something almost like amusement at the corner of his mouth. He finished buttoning his shirt and sat back down on the edge of the bed, close enough that his hand found mine on top of the blanket without either of us making a production of it. We stayed like that for a moment, quiet, ordinary. "I've been thinking," he said. "That's dangerous," I said. "About something I haven't said yet." He looked at me steadily. Not the careful look he gav

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    Her father's recovery

    Chapter 147My father stood at the stove without permission.That was the first thing my mother said when I walked into the secondary property's small kitchen on Sunday afternoon, her voice carrying that particular exasperated affection that meant she'd already lost the argument twice."He's not supposed to be standing for long periods," she said. "The doctor said...""The doctor said no heavy lifting," my father said, stirring a pot that smelled like garlic and tomato and weeks of recovery finally turning a corner. "I'm stirring pasta sauce, Susan. It's not exactly heavy machinery.""It's the principle of it.""The principle of pasta sauce."I stood in the doorway and watched them, and something in my chest went warm and aching at the same time.He looked like himself again.That was the thing I kept noticing, sitting at their small kitchen table while my mother set out plates and my father insisted on doing the stirring himself despite weeks of injury behind him.

    Chapter 99I went back to campus on Wednesday.Not because I had to. My coursework was manageable remotely and Matthias had said nothing about staying away and nothing about going back, which was his way of leaving the decision entirely mine. But staying away felt like the wrong shape. Like somethi

    Chapter 98I found out from Elena.Not from Dante. Not from an alert on my phone. From Elena calling me at six forty-five in the morning with the particular quality of urgency in her voice that meant something had already spread far enough that containing it was no longer the first priority."Don'
