Reborn and Done Being Fooled Chapter 8
After my family moved away, we lost touch completely. But Yvette had been looking for me all along, quietly, until she finally realized I was the same boy she'd been promised to since childhood."So, do you still want to call off the engagement?"Seeing the smile on Yvette's face, I lowered my head slightly in embarrassment. Thinking about it, she didn't seem quite so frightening after all.Just then, she looked at me with deep affection."Jonathan Smith, will you marry me?"I said yes.After we settled things, I went back to the Smith family's residence one more time. I needed to cut ties with them completely.The moment I walked through the door, the messages appeared again.[Yvette is a mob boss. Manipulating people is what she does best. Don't believe a word she said. Always trust your own family before you trust an outsider!]I walked past the misleading messages without a second thought.Frederick was in the living room, sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea.I set the

Yvette's breath was warm against my ear. I went completely stiff and sat there on the sofa without moving a muscle."You're already my man. What does it matter if it happened a day early?"My ears went hot, and I pushed her back without thinking."Don't say that. The wedding hasn't happened yet. I'm not your anything.""You're not my husband? Then how did you end up with my marks on you?"As she spoke, her gaze fell on my neck, her eyes carrying an almost suggestive heat that felt like it could set every inch of my skin on fire.I yanked my collar up and shot to my feet."I... that's not... Yvette, you know exactly how this engagement came about. If it weren't for that agreement our fathers made, we never would've been put together in the first place. We've barely even met. We don't know each other at all."A marriage with no real foundation isn't going to last. Maybe what happened yesterday was the universe giving us both a way out. I think we should seriously reconsider this

My mother had already started to piece it together. She followed Yvette's gaze to Elaine and dropped her voice. "What's going on? Is this about you?"Elaine shook her head frantically. But before she could even speak, a gunshot went off.She screamed and hit the floor. The bullet had gone clean through her left knee, and blood was pooling fast beneath her.My mother went completely still, staring at Yvette with barely concealed fear."Mrs. Smith, I can't stand liars. Your daughter sold me out, and she doesn't have the spine to own it. So that's her consequence."Elaine stayed on the floor and didn't make a sound. Either she was too afraid to speak, or the pain had taken everything out of her.I was still leaning against Yvette. Every small movement sent a fresh wave of pain through my body. She must have noticed, because she steadied me and started moving toward the door.We didn't make it two steps before Frederick blocked the way."Ms. Sinclair, our family takes full responsi

I forced my head up.Yvette walked in with a dark expression and didn't slow down for anyone. Behind her, dozens of bodyguards spread out and surrounded the entire villa.My mother stopped mid-swing. She gripped the whip and stepped forward, her whole tone shifting in an instant."Ms. Sinclair, what brings you here?"Yvette didn't even look at her. She walked straight to me and eased me into her arms, careful and steady."I'm sorry. I should've gotten here sooner."I stared at her face and didn't move.Then she turned and looked around the room, her voice flat and cold. "Jonathan is my husband. I don't care what the reason is. You did this to him, and I think you owe me an explanation."The room went completely silent.My mother stepped forward slowly, clearly trying to read Yvette's mood before she said anything. She clasped her hands together and apologized respectfully."Yvette, this is our family's fault. I didn't raise my son properly, and what happened today breaks my h

Frederick sighed and stepped forward, reaching down to help me up."Jonathan, I understand you're upset. But we're family. If you just tell us the truth, we can figure out how to help you.""Tell you the truth about what?"I shoved his hand away. "About how you married my mother while chasing after Yvette behind her back? Or about how I almost got killed taking the fall for you?""Enough!"My mother kicked me hard in the shoulder. "You can't control yourself, and now you're pointing fingers at your own stepfather? You're disgusting."Frederick pressed a hand to his chest and let out a long, wounded sigh. "I know Jonathan has never liked me. But if he's going to destroy my reputation like this, I don't see the point in going on."That was all my mother needed to hear. She completely lost it. "Bring me my whip."The Smith family had a punishment tradition—ninety-nine lashes. My father had once been beaten to death under that same rule. And now my mother was ready to use it on me,

I'd barely sat up when the door opened, and a woman in a bathrobe walked in.[Just accept it, man. There's no way out now. Might as well relax and enjoy it. By the way, do we have to pay to watch what's about to happen?]I took a slow breath. Then, following the lead the messages had given me, I reached out and started undoing her robe myself.Seeing my resigned expression, the old woman burst into laughter, the fats on her body shaking."I'm going to enjoy every second of Yvette's husband."The words had barely left her mouth when I moved. I pulled the fruit knife I'd hidden earlier from behind my back and drove it into her stomach.She screamed and grabbed a fistful of my hair, then slammed my head against the wall."You monster! You want to die that badly?"I bit down on the tip of my tongue. The sharp taste of blood cut through the fog in my head just enough. I jammed my fingers straight at her eyes with everything I had.She stumbled back, and I ran for the door."Get hi
