I stood in my study staring at the broken file cabinet lock. The violation of it. The calculated precision of someone who knew exactly what they wanted and where to find it.

"We need to call the police," Marcus said from the doorway.

"And tell them what? That files were stolen from a locked cabinet but nothing else was taken? No forced entry? No broken windows?" I shook my head. "Whoever did this was professional. They'll find nothing."

"But Emma's therapy records—those documented her trauma from Brock. Her nightmares. Her specific fears. That was evidence."

"Exactly. Which is why someone took them." I pulled out my phone and called Dr. Sarah Chen, Emma's actual therapist. "Dr. Chen, this is Bethany Nott. I need to know—do you still have the original therapy notes for Emma?"

"Of course. All original session notes are kept in my secure files. Why?"

"My personal copies were stolen from my home. Someone broke into my filing cabinet specifically to take them."

Silence on the other end. Th

  • Reborn to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 57: The Hidden Object

    The next morning, I waited until Emma left for her therapy session with Dr. Chen before I started searching.Marcus stayed home. I'd told him about Valerie's warning last night after I couldn't sleep anymore. About Shaw's partner. About Brock hiding something with Emma. About the rabbit."You really think there's something inside a stuffed animal?" Marcus asked as we stood in Emma's bedroom."Brock said Emma has something of his. Something hidden where only she could find it. The timing matches. He gave her the new Mr. Whiskers right before the fake accident. Right before he disappeared.""Could just be a rabbit. Sometimes a toy is just a toy.""Maybe. But we need to check."Emma's room was a minefield of stuffed animals. Bears. Unicorns. Dogs. Dragons. At least thirty plush toys covering her bed and shelves. But only two rabbits. The old worn Mr. Whiskers she'd had since birth. And the newer one Brock gave her three years ago.I picked up the new rabbit. It looked innocent. Gray fur.

  • Reborn to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 56: Valerie's Warning

    I caught up with Valerie in the parking lot. She was limping toward a beat-up Honda. Nothing like the luxury car she used to drive. Nothing like the life she used to have."Wait. You can't just drop that warning and leave. If Shaw has a partner, I need details. Names. Anything."Valerie stopped. Leaned heavily on her cane. Turned to face me with eyes full of exhaustion and pain."I don't have names. I don't have proof. I just have fragments of a conversation I overheard in the hospital. Before everything went wrong. Before Salvatore's men found me.""Tell me everything. Every detail you remember."Valerie looked around the parking lot. Nervous. Like she expected someone to be listening. "Can we sit in your car? I don't feel safe out here."We got into my car. Locked the doors. Valerie practically collapsed into the passenger seat. Up close, she looked even worse. The scars on her face were deep. Infected looking. Her hands shook constantly."What happened to you?" I asked despite myse

  • Reborn to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 55: The Fashion Show Triumph

    Three months after the custody verdict, I stood in the warehouse where everything changed.Not a fancy venue. Not a prestigious location. Just the converted warehouse in Brooklyn where Marcus and I had spent countless late nights planning. Strategizing. Surviving.It felt right to hold my first official fashion show here. Where the war was planned. Where Nott Designs was rebuilt from ashes. Where I transformed from victim to survivor to warrior.The space was transformed but still raw. Exposed brick walls. Industrial lighting. A runway made from reclaimed wood. Nothing polished or pretentious. Just honest. Real. Like the collection itself."Evidence of Survival." That's what I called it.Eight pieces. Each one telling part of my story. Our story. The destruction and the rebuilding. The pain and the triumph.Victoria stood beside me backstage. She'd stuck with me through everything. Kept Nott Designs functioning when I was too busy surviving to design. Now she was my co-creative direct

  • Reborn to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 54: The Custody Verdict

    The courthouse was packed the day Judge Reynolds issued her ruling. Media filled the back rows. Sketch artists captured every moment. This case had become national news. The mother who survived everything. The daughter held hostage. The dramatic aquarium rescue.Everyone wanted to know how it would end.I sat at the plaintiff's table with Diana. Emma was not required to be present, thank God. She was at home with Marcus and Dr. Chen. Safe. Away from cameras and crowds and the legal proceedings that would determine her future.Brock sat at the defense table in an orange jumpsuit. Shackled. Two guards flanking him. He looked thin. Broken. Nothing like the man I'd married. Nothing like the man who held our daughter at gunpoint two weeks ago.He didn't look at me. Kept his eyes forward. Waiting for the judge.Judge Reynolds entered. Everyone stood. She sat. We sat. The ritual of court proceedings continued even when the outcome felt predetermined."I've reviewed all evidence presented in

  • Reborn to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 53: The Shot

    Everything happened in fragments. Disconnected moments that my brain couldn't piece together fast enough.One second I was standing there, Brock's gun pointed at my chest, his finger on the trigger.The next second, the world exploded.A crack. Sharp and loud. But not from Brock's gun.Glass shattered behind him. The wall of the aquarium tunnel spider-webbed with cracks. Water started seeping through. Then spraying. Then gushing.Brock spun around, confused. "What—"A sniper. FBI had taken the shot. Not at Brock. At the glass behind him. Creating chaos. Creating an opening.Water exploded into the tunnel. Thousands of gallons under pressure. The force knocked Brock off his feet. Knocked Emma down. Knocked me backward.I hit the ground hard. My head cracked against the wet floor. Stars burst in my vision."Emma!" I screamed. But my voice was drowned out by rushing water.I couldn't see her. Couldn't see anything through the spray and chaos. Just water everywhere. Rising fast. Already a

  • Reborn to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 52: Mother and Daughter

    Time slowed down in that moment. I could see Brock's finger tightening on the trigger. Could see the gun barrel pointed directly at my chest. Could see Emma's face twisted in horror.I should have been scared. Should have been thinking about my life flashing before my eyes. All the clichés people say about facing death.Instead, I was calm. Completely calm.Because I wasn't facing death alone. I was facing it for Emma. And that made all the difference."Brock," I said quietly. "Look at Emma. Really look at her."His eyes didn't move from mine. "I'm looking at you. The woman who destroyed everything.""No. Look at your daughter. See what you're doing to her right now."Something in my voice made him glance down. At Emma's face. At the pure terror there. At the tears streaming down her cheeks."Daddy, please don't hurt Mommy. Please. I'll do anything. I'll go with you. I'll never complain. Just please don't hurt her."Brock's face crumpled. "You'd go with me? Willingly?""If you don't h
