As soon as we left the restaurant, the frosty night air hit me, a welcome rush after the tension of that dinner, wiping away the sweat that clung to my face.

“Do you really think all that was necessary?” Antony’s voice cut through the city noise, and I turned my eyes toward him.

“Are you talking about the acknowledgment of debt?” I asked. Antony nodded slightly. “Trust me, Father, you’ll soon see I’m right. Don’t trust Asher or Warren blindly.”

He shrugged, and I couldn’t tell whether he agreed with me or not. “You shouldn’t have mentioned the sapphire. It’s a little embarrassing to know how you got it.”

I hadn’t told him about my collaboration with Simon. How could I? No father, not even mine, a shrewd business executive, would agree to marry his daughter to a notorious playboy, much less allow her to associate with a man like him. They only saw Simon as the irrespons

  • Reborn to Marry My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 85

    POV: WarrenAs soon as I got home from that humiliating farce, I locked myself in my study. Rage was a chemical fire in my chest. I had been made a fool . Not by her family—those insignificant provincials—but by Amy, my fiancée. My hand closed around a silver picture frame on the desk, and I hurled it against the wall. The glass shattered with a deafening crash. I needed to break something. I needed to expel the fury that was consuming me.The Persian rugs, the mahogany furniture—everything seemed to mock my loss of control. I was Warren, the future owner of an empire, and I had been forced to concede to a ridiculous ultimatum.The door suddenly flew open, and my father, Aser, walked in without knocking. His expression was one of contained concern and sharp disapproval. He looked at the broken frame on the wall, then at me.“Control yourself, Warren,” he said, his voice low but cutting like ice. “You promised Amy

  • Reborn to Marry My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 84

    POV ReginaI left Antony and Megan’s house seething with frustration before dinner even ended. I had zero interest in seeing Amy succeed and marry Warren, no matter how much my father insisted their marriage would bring significant benefits to our family. Not only that, but I wanted to see Amy ruined.Amy’s sheer audacity in demanding the full loan repayment within a month was a spectacular move; I had to admit she was surprising me! I knew Warren was bluffing, but Amy had ruined the calculated perfection of the evening.I got into my car, which I had parked a little further down the street next to Aaron’s. Likewise, I was about to start the engine, eager to get home and take out my frustration on Maia, when my eyes fixed on a strange movement in the shadows of the property’s large hedge.I stopped the car and waited. And then I saw him: Simon.He was hiding, a tall, dark silhouette in the shadows, watching the front door. W

  • Reborn to Marry My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 83

    POV: AmyThe heat of Simon’s kiss still burned on my lips, and the confession he’d whispered echoed in my ears: “I care because you’re the first woman I’ve ever truly loved.”I stood paralyzed, suspended in that moment under the shadows of the trees on a warm city night, a small electrical shock running through my body. Simon, always considered cold and gallant, the unscrupulous womanizer, the pillar of pragmatism in my chaotic life, was declaring his love.I still felt the tension of his fingers on my shoulder, but in his eyes, deep in the dim light, I noticed something that caught my attention: a pang of regret. Not for the feeling itself, but for letting the declaration slip out so quickly, so unprotected. He had broken his own rule, torn down his wall.He waited. I could feel his silent expectation hanging in the air, begging me to reciprocate that truth. He was waiting for me to say something that would validate his love. I opened my mouth, trying to find the words—I love you too

    POV Simon (Before)I left the company building just as the sun began setting, staining the sky with shades of orange and violet over the city skyline. The rush driving me wasn’t professional; it felt visceral, almost irrational. I felt like a watchman, or perhaps a bodyguard, but the most accurate title was fool.I drove my car, an inconspicuous model, through the well-maintained streets leading to Amy’s neighborhood. Not only that, but I parked a considerable distance away, right past the corner, where the trees’ shadow would shield me from curious eyes. I turned off the engine and leaned back in my seat, feeling the tension coil in my shoulders.I stood there, parked on the street, like a teenager waiting for the girl he liked. It was insane. I had never acted this way with any woman. People knew me for my composure, my pragmatism, and my emotional detachment. But Amy… Amy was the anomaly who destroyed all my rules.From a distance, I saw the first luxury vehicle of the night stop i

    POV AmyWarren choked. The red wine he was drinking shot up his throat, making him cough violently. The guttural sound of his gagging echoed through the dining room; tense silence minutes earlier now exploded into a nervous murmur.Disapproving eyes fixed on me, especially from Warren’s family, who seemed to judge me for causing such an awkward scene. Alice, his mother, rushed to help Warren, patting his back with exaggerated concern that, to me, looked like a performance for the audience. Warren took too long to catch his breath, his face red and his eyes a mix of shock and outrage.Inside, I celebrated. My plan had hit its target with surgical precision. I imagined Simon, wherever he was, enjoying Warren’s exposed desperation. This was only the first step.Aser, Warren’s father, a business executive with a permanently clenched jaw, abruptly rose from the table, throwing his linen napkin onto his plate with an irritated sound.“Amy,” he began, his voice rough and authoritative, “you

  • Reborn to Marry My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 80

    POV AmyI looked at Warren, and in that moment, a chilling clarity struck me: I understood why I had loved and trusted him for so long. He was a primary manipulator, a predator who wielded charm as his most effective weapon. His face was mere inches from mine, and the smile he held was so calm, so calculatingly sweet that it seemed perfectly sincere.His voice was deep, his words precisely measured, and his posture was that of a man who knew he held all the control. If I didn’t know the truth—if Amy hadn’t experienced her death and been reborn with the memory of what he was capable of—I would have believed him, melted into his power, and agreed to everything.The tension between us felt like a stretched wire, invisible to everyone else but vibrating and real to me. He expected a response from an adoring fiancée, a breathless confirmation that validated his importance.He repeated the question, his voice still a silky whisper. “Is it really true, Amy? You decided to move up our wedding
