Bradford laughed, the sound genuine and warm. "You want to buy my property?"

"Yes. And I promise I won't turn it into luxury apartments. I'll preserve it somehow, maybe make it a community center or music school. Something your wife would have liked."

"That's a nice dream, Miss Lancaster. But dreams require more than good intentions."

"I know. That's why I'm going to work harder than anyone else. That's why I'm going to win."

Bradford pulled out a business card and wrote something on the back. "Call me in six months. If you've saved fifty thousand dollars by then, I'll consider your offer seriously."

I took the card, my hands shaking slightly. "Really?"

"Really. But Eva, understand something. If you're still working for Lucas Black in six months, I won't sell to you. That man is poison, and I won't contribute to whatever he's building."

"Lucas isn't poison," I said, surprising myself by defending him.

"Then you don't know him well enough yet."

  • Reborn to Seduce the Devil CEO    Chapter 31: Between Truth and Terror

    I dropped my phone and ran toward the main house, my heart hammering against my ribs. Ethan's screams were getting louder, more panicked. When I burst through the door, I found Lucas holding Ethan close while Rachel stood frozen near the shattered window, her face pale."What happened?" I demanded."Someone threw a brick through the window," Lucas said, his voice tight. He pointed at the floor where a brick lay among broken glass, a paper wrapped around it with rubber bands.Rachel finally moved, grabbing Ethan from Lucas. "This is your fault! Both of you! Someone's targeting this house because of your sick relationship!""Calm down," Lucas said sharply. "Ethan, are you hurt?"The boy shook his head, burying his face in his mother's shoulder. "I'm scared, Daddy.""I know, buddy. It's okay now." Lucas picked up the brick carefully and unwrapped the paper. His expression darkened as he read it."What does it say?" I asked.He handed it to me without a word. The message was printed in bo

  • Reborn to Seduce the Devil CEO    Chapter 30: Her Revenge Begins Tonight

    The woman in the doorway stepped forward, and my heart nearly stopped until the emergency lights brightened enough for me to see her face clearly."Natalie?" I breathed out, recognizing Victor Chen's daughter.She looked terrible—dark circles under her eyes, her clothes wrinkled like she'd been wearing them for days. "I'm sorry for scaring you. The power outage wasn't me. I just... I needed to find you."Clara was still whimpering on the couch, and Julian moved to comfort her, though his hands were shaking too."How did you get in here?" my father demanded."The gates were open. Security let me through when I said it was urgent." Natalie's eyes found mine. "Eva, I need to talk to you about something my father discovered before he had his heart attack. He made me promise to tell you if anything happened to him.""What is it?" I asked, my pulse still racing.She glanced at Julian and Clara. "It's about the Collector's research. There might be fragments left, but Daniel was wrong about h

  • Reborn to Seduce the Devil CEO    Chapter 29

    The door clicked shut behind Rachel, and the silence felt heavier than anything she'd said. I stood there, my arms wrapped around myself, trying to calm the storm inside my chest. Lucas turned to face me, running his hand through his hair."Eva, I'm sorry. I should've stopped her sooner."I shook my head. "It's not your fault she's cruel.""But I let her talk to you that way," he said, stepping closer. "I should've thrown her out the second she opened her mouth.""You did throw her out," I reminded him quietly. "That's enough."He reached for my hand, and I let him take it. His thumb brushed over my knuckles, gentle and reassuring. "I meant what I said earlier. Nothing changes between us. Rachel can scream all she wants, but she's not taking you away from me."I wanted to believe him. God, I wanted to so badly. But doubt kept creeping in, whispering cruel things in my ear. "Lucas, what if she's right? What if I'm just getting in the way of your family?""You're not in the way," he sai

  • Reborn to Seduce the Devil CEO    Chapter 28: The Fear of Losing Him

    When I got to the room Lucas gave me, I shut the door and sat on the bed, my hands shaking. Everything that happened kept replaying in my head, Rachel standing there like she never died, her son calling Lucas “Dad,” the way Lucas looked at them. I had never seen that look on his face before. It was shock, yes, but also something deeper. Something that scared me.I told myself not to cry, but the tears came anyway. What if he left me? What if having his family back meant there was no place for me anymore? I wasn’t scared of Rachel; I could deal with her, no matter how cruel she was. What I was scared of was losing Lucas. After everything, after all the pain, I couldn’t imagine my life without him.The door opened, and Lucas stepped in quietly. I wiped my face fast, pretending I was fine, but he saw right through me. He came to sit beside me, his voice low. “Eva, don’t do this to yourself.”I didn’t look at him. “How am I supposed to act, Lucas? You have a son. And your wife... she’s al

  • Reborn to Seduce the Devil CEO    Chapter 27: The Son He Never Knew

    When the boy ran into Rachel’s arms and called her Mom, I stood frozen, unable to speak or move. My brain tried to make sense of what I was seeing, but every thought collided and broke apart. Rachel hugged the child tightly, brushing his hair back with a proud smile.“He’s beautiful, isn’t he?” she said, turning to me with a smug look. “You weren’t expecting this, were you?”My throat went dry. “Who is he?”Rachel’s grin widened as if she had been waiting for me to ask. “My son. Our son, to be precise. Mine and Lucas’s.”The words hit like a slap. I took a step back, shaking my head slowly. “That’s not possible. Lucas would have told me.”She let out a low laugh that sent chills through me. “Oh, poor little Eva. You really thought he told you everything? You think men like Lucas share their whole hearts with women like you?”I clenched my fists but didn’t move. “He’s not that kind of man.”“Isn’t he?” She raised an eyebrow and stroked the boy’s cheek. “Five years ago, I left him, yes.

    Eva’s POVThe next morning, I woke up alone in bed. Lucas must have carried me from the couch last night.The thought made me blush. The way we cuddled, the feel of his soft lips on mine, it all came rushing back. I could only imagine how sexy he must have looked while carrying me upstairs.A hot, caring devil of a CEO—that’s all I need in my life. And that devil is willing to change for me, a normal girl who was reborn and somehow walked into his world. He’s willing to change for her; for me.I got out of bed but couldn’t find Lucas anywhere in the room, not even in the bathroom.“Where is he?” I muttered.I quickly walked out to look for him. The Collector was gone now, which meant our biggest problem was finally over.But then I remembered Emma, how she sacrificed herself to save me. The memory hit me like a wave, and guilt filled my chest again. I would never stop feeling guilty for her death.I went downstairs, but Lucas still wasn’t there, not in the kitchen, not anywhere.
