By the time we left Evelyn’s apartment, reporters had surrounded the building.

They shouted accusations as Caelan’s security team pushed a path toward the car.

“Mrs. Voss, did you steal forty million dollars?”

“Did you marry Caelan to access Voss accounts?”

“Is your husband protecting you from arrest?”

The questions followed us into the street.

A police vehicle stopped beside Caelan’s car.

Two detectives approached.

“We need Mrs. Voss to come with us.”

Caelan stepped between them and me.

  • Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife   Insult My Father Again

    Lucien returned to Mercer House before sunrise.Caelan had sent him a photograph of the message without explanation. Lucien arrived furious, exhausted, and unwilling to wait for an invitation.“Where is the original?”Caelan stood at the entrance to the library.“Safe.”“It concerns me.”“It may concern you.”“The first son. Who else could that mean?”“Amelia also had a son,” I said.Lucien turned toward me.“The child mentioned in the recording.”Father entered behind us.“Amelia never told me whether the boy was older or younger than Selene.”Lucien’s anger shifted toward him.“You knew our families were connected to Crowne for twenty years.”“I knew Evelyn and Amelia were frightened of someone. I did not know the name Crowne until recently.”“You accepted my mother’s money.”“For the foundation.”“You kept her secrets.”“Because she believed revealing them would endanger both of you.”Lucien laughed bitterly.“Everyone claims silence was meant to protect us.”His words carried the

  • Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife   When Lucien Finally Understands

    Caelan crossed the ballroom before anyone could stop him.Director Harlan’s confidence weakened as my husband approached, but the reporters surrounding them prevented him from retreating.“Repeat what you said,” Caelan ordered.Harlan lifted his chin.“Gideon Mercer hides behind your name because his own no longer commands respect.”Father stepped down from the stage.“This is my gala, Caelan. I will answer him.”Caelan stopped, though every line of his body remained tense.Harlan held up copies of the video from Selene’s memory card.“These images show Gideon meeting Evelyn Voss shortly before her death. He concealed that relationship while accepting money from her trust.”“You accused him of theft using records that proved no money was missing,” I said.“The records prove Evelyn secretly funded Mercer interests.”“She funded a charitable foundation.”“Why?”“That is what we are investigating.”Harlan turned toward the cameras.“The Mercer family expects this city to accept one myste

  • Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife   Dance with the Woman You Chose

    The ballroom remained half-lit when I placed my hand in Caelan’s.Guests stood near the exits, uncertain whether the emergency was over. Reporters kept their cameras raised.The orchestra continued playing the song from the wedding I had abandoned.Lucien and I had chosen it together—or so I once believed. Selene later confessed that she suggested it to him because it had been Evelyn’s favourite.Crowne had been writing messages into our lives long before we knew how to read them.Caelan led me to the centre of the floor.“You don’t have to do this,” he said.“I’m tired of them turning every memory into a weapon.”His hand settled against my back.“Then make a new one.”We began to dance.Caelan moved with controlled precision, but he held me gently. Around us, the ballroom quieted. Even the false financial records vanished from the screens, replaced by the silver crown symbol.Someone was watching.I refused to look toward the cameras.“You knew this song,” I said.“My mother played

  • Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife   The Mercer Gala

    The Mercer Gala had always been Father’s favourite event.Each year, the foundation funded hospitals, technical scholarships, and housing programmes. In my first life, the final gala he attended became a public display of his weakness.This time, he entered the ballroom standing straight.Doctors had cleared him to attend for two hours. Mara’s team tested everything he touched, from his water glass to the microphone.Caelan remained beside me.“You’ve checked the exits six times,” I said.“Seven.”“You promised not to turn this into a prison.”“I’m counting doors, not locking them.”He wore a black tuxedo that made him appear even more severe. Guests watched us as we moved through the ballroom, their curiosity sharpened by the scandals surrounding our marriage.The contract required us to appear affectionate.The problem was that I no longer knew which gestures were performances.Caelan’s hand rested against my waist. When someone approached too quickly, his fingers tightened. When I

  • Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife   Protection Without a Cage

    Caelan and I built the security plan together.I would not travel alone, but I could choose the members of my protection team. My location would be shared with one trusted officer, not monitored by everyone in the estate. I would continue working at Mercer Holdings, attending public events, and visiting Father.In return, I agreed to carry an emergency transmitter and inform Caelan before changing plans.“You mean ask permission,” I said.“I mean inform me.”“What happens if I forget?”“I find you.”“That sounds like a threat.”“It’s a promise.”We sat across from each other at his study table, rewriting arrangements that had never appeared in our marriage contract.The process revealed how different we were.Caelan believed every unknown person was a potential threat. I believed excessive control transformed protection into another kind of danger.We compromised because neither of us could defeat Crowne alone.I selected Mara Quinn as the head of my personal security. She had served

  • Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife   The Man Who Asked for Nothing

    Caelan did not speak during the drive home.Evelyn’s letter remained inside his coat, but its surviving sentence seemed to fill the car.Protect her—but do not imprison her as I was imprisoned.I wondered who had imprisoned Evelyn.Octavian was the obvious answer, but her warning had already taught us not to mistake the most visible enemy for the true one.At the estate, Caelan dismissed the medical team after they treated his arm. I followed him into his study.“You need to rest.”“So do you.”“My burn is minor.”“And my wound is inconvenient.”Blood had already stained the fresh bandage beneath his sleeve.“You nearly fell through a burning floor.”“I remember.”“You told me to release you.”“You’ve mentioned that.”“Because you would rather die than become someone else’s burden.”His expression hardened.“Do not analyse me.”“Then stop making yourself so easy to analyse.”That almost made him smile.I reached for the buttons of his shirt.He caught my wrist.“What are you doing?”“
