Amy’s POV

Antony rushed toward us the moment Megan and I stepped inside the house. He had been standing by the entrance long enough, waiting for our return. I could see the anxious look on his face and the beads of sweat running down his slightly wrinkled forehead.

“You should have told me you were going to meet your grandma. I should have been with you two.”

I looked at him, then at Megan. It was better not to remind ourselves of the horrible things we went through in that house. Antony wouldn’t take it well if he knew Aaron had tried to attack me.

“I’m sorry, Dad,” I murmured, lowering my head. “Grandma wanted to talk about the wedding preparations. She seemed even more anxious than I was for that day to come.”

He narrowed his eyes at me, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and seemed to relax this time. He walked toward me with his hands behind his back. I knew that gesture well; it meant

  • Reborn to Marry My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 79

    I woke up the next day, the morning sun filtering through the slits in my silk curtains, but the light couldn’t dissipate the cold fog hanging over my head. My first thought wasn’t about my plan, or Jackson, or Peter. It was about Sara.A sharp pang of longing hit my chest, mixing with the ache of her rejection. It was a cruel cycle. I fought to save her life, but with every step, she pushed me further away. If I were the old Amy, I would have immediately called Sara to ask what I should wear to the dinner, begging for her opinion. Sara would know how to prepare me for a high-caliber family event like today’s; she would know exactly which mask to put on to please everyone, and which dress to choose so that Warren noticed only my beauty and not my contempt.I closed my eyes, and the memory of a simple childhood day, when Sara and I lay in the backyard grass, laughing at silly jokes, flooded my mind. That was my safe place. Now, Sara was my biggest headache.I remembered the moment I to

    POV AmyI left Simon at the bar, knowing he would move mountains to get Jackson released. I felt like a coward for making him handle the hard part of the night, but my focus now needed to be on Warren and my performance. Vengeance, after all, was mine.I hurried down the street, feeling the frosty night air brush against my skin. The weight of the news about Sara and Jackson burdened me. I had to call Simon as soon as I got inside, just to make sure Jackson was free and safe.I reached my front door, the mansion I was fighting to protect, and turned the key. The first thing I did was grab my phone, but Simon didn’t answer. I tried again, but the call went straight to voicemail. Anxiety tightened its grip on me.I stepped inside and headed toward the dining room, where muffled conversation sounds came from. My father, Antony, and my mother, Megan, were sitting at the table.“What a pleasant surprise.” My mother saw me first, her surprise evident in her voice. “You’re home!”My father l

  • Reborn to Marry My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 77

    The silence in the room was unsettling. Megan was no longer pounding on the door or screaming hysterically for Chloe to let her in. Ruan felt exhausted and bruised, but no wound seemed more painful than the one in his heart.Chloe remained standing, a safe distance from the bed, her hands crossed over her chest. She had held back her tears, but the pain she saw in his face—something uncommon in their years of marriage—was reopening old wounds. She forced her voice to come out cold and practical.“What does Megan have to do with your injuries?” She couldn’t help the stab of bitterness. She leaned in to look at him better, keeping a safe distance from her old and current love. “If you’ve decided not to tell me, I really need to go.”Ruan tried to move in the bed, and the pain made him groan slightly. Guilt hit him, a cold and sudden wave. Looking at Chloe—the strong woman he had so cowardly dismissed after Megan’s return—he realized how unfair he had been. He had trusted his destructive

    Simon remained silent after my confession and the truth I revealed. I watched him shake his head slightly, lift the glass to his lips, and drink, holding his silence for long seconds that stretched into eternity. I began to think that telling him the truth about my rebirth had not been a good idea.Sara’s memory hit me. I perfectly recalled her reaction when I told her the same story: that I had traveled ten years back in time and that Peter, her current boyfriend, would murder her. All Sara did was find a way to push me away, deciding I was unstable or crazy. A chill ran down my spine. I feared Simon would react the same way, and everything I had built with him was about to crumble.“What you are saying is a little difficult to believe,” Simon finally whispered, breaking the silence. His dark eyes fixed on mine, his voice hoarse. “Can you prove it?”The question offended me. After everything he had seen, after all my predictions had come true, he still doubted me? My cold, controlled

    I was walking toward the heavy door of Simon’s bar, feeling the loud sound mixed with the smell of bourbon and smoke, when the figure stumbled onto the sidewalk. I didn’t need a second glance to know who it was. It was only Maia, displaying a mixture of panic, anger, and despair. She was gasping for air, her shoulders tense beneath the designer coat, looking like a cornered creature fleeing an ambush, and I knew immediately what this was about.She wasn’t there by chance. Simon was a key player in my game, and Maia, or more likely, my unscrupulous uncle Aaron, had sent her to spy. They were desperate. The wedding to Warren was approaching. The sight of Maia, so disheveled and scared, brought a bitter smile to my lips. Maia was a predictable tool, easy to manipulate.She paused a few steps away from me, her gaze locked on mine, her breathing shallow. It was obvious she had just come out of some confrontation, and it was certainly with Simon. So why then was she running away?I didn’t r

  • Reborn to Marry My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 74

    The cold marble floor dragging under my bare feet stood in cruel contrast to the fire consuming me. I stumbled, trying to catch the breath the guards had roughly knocked from my lungs. My voice came out sharp, an ugly, uncontrolled sound, as they hauled me out of the building.“Let go of me! Do you know who I am?” I yelled, the question ricocheting off the mirrored glass walls, echoing through the corridors of curious onlookers.Everything spun. I struggled, but their grip was like steel. They dragged me through the hall of the luxurious floor, ignoring my hysterical protests. Eyes full of horror fixed on me. Soon, the news would spread, and everyone in that place would be talking about my public humiliation at Warren’s hands.They dumped me on the sidewalk, right in front of the imposing Warren Enterprises building. My legs gave out, and I would have fallen if firm hands hadn’t caught me. The familiar scent of cologne filled my nostrils.“Maia! What happened here?”My father, Aaron,
