Elena’s POV

The night feels different.

Not quieter just heavier. Like the air itself knows something is about to change.

I stand by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse, watching the city lights blur into ribbons of gold and white. From up here, everything looks small. Manageable. As if the world hasn’t tried to tear me apart twice already.

Behind me, I hear Alexander’s footsteps.

I don’t turn right away. I don’t need to. I know the rhythm of him now the measured calm, the quiet authority, the way his presence fills a room without demanding it.

“You’re thinking too hard again,” he says softly.

A ghost of a smile curves my lips. “Is it that obvious?”

“To me? Always.”

He stops a breath away from me. Close enough that I feel the warmth of him through the thin silk of my dress. Close enough that my heart starts doing that familiar, traitorous thing.

I finally turn.

Alexander Knight looks nothing like the man the world fears tonight. No armor. No icy distance. Just the man who has

  • Reborn as The Billionaire's Wife   Epilogue – A Life Rewritten

    I used to believe fate was a cruel, unchangeable thing.That no matter how hard you fought, it would always circle back and claim its due.I know better now.The morning light spills across the floor-to-ceiling windows of our penthouse, soft and golden, painting the city in a glow that feels almost unreal. Ten years ago, this same city watched me fall silently, mercilessly while smiling faces turned their backs and whispered my name like a joke.Now, it bows.Not to me alone but to us.Alexander stands by the window, suit jacket discarded, sleeves rolled up in a way that still makes my heart stumble even after all this time. The man the world once feared the cold, ruthless billionaire now argues gently with our daughter about whether she can wear sneakers to a formal charity brunch.“You’re spoiling her,” I say, leaning against the doorframe.He turns, eyes softening the moment they find me. They always do. “I’m correcting the universe,” he replies calmly. “It spoiled me with you. Thi

  • Reborn as The Billionaire's Wife   Reborn, At Last

    (Elena Dawson’s POV)The city glowed beneath us, a constellation of lights stretching endlessly beyond the glass walls of the penthouse. Once upon a time, this view had terrified me. It had represented power I didn’t understand, a world that swallowed naïve women whole and left nothing but headlines and regret.Now, I stood in the heart of it steady, unafraid, and finally at peace.Alexander’s hand was warm in mine, solid and grounding. He stood beside me, not in front of me, not behind me, but with me. Equal. Partner. Husband.The word still felt surreal.“You’re quiet,” he said softly, his thumb brushing slow circles against my knuckles.“I was just thinking,” I replied, smiling as I turned to face him. “About how everything ended up here.”His gaze searched my face the way it always did like he was still afraid I might disappear if he looked away too long. “In a good way?”“In every way.”Because it was true.Richard Hale was gone. Not just defeated, but erased from the world that

  • Reborn as The Billionaire's Wife   What He Would Burn the World For

    Elena’s POVThe silence after the chaos felt unreal.Not peaceful.never that but stretched thin, like glass about to shatter if someone breathed too loudly.I stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Knight coastal estate, watching the ocean churn beneath a bruised sky. The storm had passed hours ago, but the waves still hadn’t calmed. They slammed against the cliffs with stubborn fury, as if the sea itself refused to let go of its anger.I understood that feeling too well.Behind me, the door opened quietly.I didn’t turn. I didn’t have to.Alexander’s presence had always been unmistakable steady, controlled, grounding. Even now, after everything, he carried himself like a man holding the weight of an entire world on his shoulders without letting it crush him.“You should be resting,” he said softly.I let out a breath. “I tried.”But every time I closed my eyes, I saw it again the files, the names, the confirmation we’d both dreaded and expected.Project Rebirth wasn’t finished.

  • Reborn as The Billionaire's Wife   The Vow That Changed Everything

    Elena had learned, across two lifetimes, that silence could be louder than screams.The boardroom of Knight Global was unusually quiet. Floor-to-ceiling glass reflected the city’s skyline, steel and sunlight stretching endlessly beyond them. Once, this room had been a battlefield hostile takeovers, bloodless wars fought with contracts and signatures.Today, it felt like a courtroom.Every board member sat rigidly in their seats. Some looked wary. Others looked curious. A few those who had once sided with Richard Hale.looked nervous.Elena stood beside Alexander at the head of the table, her posture straight, her fingers lightly intertwined with his. The warmth of his hand grounded her, a reminder that she wasn’t standing alone.Not in this life.Not anymore.Alexander’s presence was commanding as ever tailored suit, calm expression, eyes sharp enough to cut through deception. But Elena knew him better now. She could feel the tension beneath his composure, the weight of everything that

  • Reborn as The Billionaire's Wife   The Price of Silence

    Elena’s POVThe city looked deceptively peaceful from this height.Glass towers gleamed under the late-afternoon sun, traffic flowed like veins of light below, and from Alexander’s penthouse balcony, it almost felt like the world had finally learned how to behave.Almost.I wrapped my arms around myself, the cool breeze brushing against my bare skin, but the chill had nothing to do with the weather. Ever since the board meeting that morning, a quiet pressure had been building in my chest an instinct I had learned to trust, especially after living two lives.Something was wrong.“You’re thinking too loudly again.”Alexander’s voice came from behind me, low and intimate, the kind of sound that always found its way beneath my skin. A moment later, his arms circled my waist, solid and warm, anchoring me to him.“I didn’t know you could hear thoughts now,” I murmured, leaning back against his chest.“I can when they’re about to get you into trouble.”I smiled faintly, but it didn’t reach m

  • Reborn as The Billionaire's Wife   What Survives the Fire

    Elena’s POVThere are moments when silence is louder than any explosion.The city below the penthouse is glowing too bright, too alive for how still everything feels inside me. I stand by the window with my arms wrapped around myself, watching the lights blur as my thoughts spiral back to the past few hours.Richard Hale is gone.Not arrested yet. Not officially sentenced. But finished.His final attempt to destroy us his secret offshore accounts, the shadow investors, the manipulated documents has been exposed. The press is circling like vultures. His allies have already started denying they ever knew him. The man who once believed he owned my future is now fighting to salvage what little dignity he has left.I should feel triumphant.Instead, my chest aches with something heavier.Alexander steps into the room quietly, as if he knows I’m fragile despite everything I’ve survived. He doesn’t speak at first. He never forces words when I’m still finding mine.“You’re shaking,” he says s
