“Tell me everything about this nonprofit before I meet with them.”

I sat across from Marcus in my office, seven months pregnant now and considerably more selective about which meetings actually required my direct involvement, though this one had piqued my curiosity enough to make the exception.

“Coastal Futures Alliance,” Marcus said, sliding a folder across my desk. “They focus on ocean conservation education, primarily working with schools and community centers along the coast. They’re expand

  • Reborn to Ruin Him   Reconciliation

    “What did she actually say? Word for word, if you can remember.”I sat across from Victoria at our usual café table, Sofia beside her, both of them still processing the unexpected phone call from the night before.“She said she’d been thinking about reaching out for months,” Victoria said, turning her coffee cup slowly between her hands. “She said she read about everything that happened, about my father’s journals finally clearing his name, and she wanted to know if there was still a chance to be part of my life.”“How did that feel, hearing that?” I asked gently.“Overwhelming,” Victoria admitted. “I spent so many years assuming she’d already decided who I was, based on old family gossip about my father’s disgrace. I never imagined she might actually want to reconnect.”“Family gossip,” Sofia repeated, something protective entering her voice. “About a man who tried to stop a murder and lost everything for it.”“She didn’t know the full truth then,” Victoria said softly. “None of us d

  • Reborn to Ruin Him   Shells under the bed

    “This is even more beautiful than you described.”Diane stood in the doorway of the nursery, the soft yellow walls and hand-painted ocean mural catching the afternoon light streaming through the window, her eyes already misting as she took it all in.“Xavier painted the mural himself,” I said, watching her study every careful detail. “Took him weeks, working evenings after I’d gone to bed.”“He always did love the ocean,” Diane said softly, running her fingers gently along the crib’s edge. “Even as a small boy, before everything happened with his father. I used to have to drag him out of the bathtub, convinced he could hold his breath long enough to become a fish.”I laughed, warmth blooming through my chest at the small, tender image of Xavier as a child, something I rarely got to glimpse given how carefully guarded his early memories usually stayed.“Tell me more,” I said gently. “About him, as a boy. I don’t think I know nearly enough of those stories.”Diane’s expression softened

    “Tell me everything about this nonprofit before I meet with them.”I sat across from Marcus in my office, seven months pregnant now and considerably more selective about which meetings actually required my direct involvement, though this one had piqued my curiosity enough to make the exception.“Coastal Futures Alliance,” Marcus said, sliding a folder across my desk. “They focus on ocean conservation education, primarily working with schools and community centers along the coast. They’re expanding into three new states and need help structuring the growth properly.”Something in the name caught immediately. “Coastal Futures Alliance. Isn’t that the organization Xavier works with?”Marcus’s eyebrows rose. “I hadn’t made that connection. Let me check.” He scrolled through his notes. “Yes, actually. Their outreach coordinator mentioned Xavier Nightfall specifically when explaining why they wanted to work with us.”I smiled, warmth blooming through my chest at the thought. “That explains

  • Reborn to Ruin Him   The dress

    “Turn slowly. I want to see the whole thing.”Victoria stood on the small pedestal in the bridal shop, Sofia already dabbing at her eyes despite having seen the dress twice before, and I sat in the plush chair beside her, my own eyes misting as Victoria turned in the simple, elegant ivory gown we’d chosen weeks earlier.“You look incredible,” I said, my voice thick with emotion. “Absolutely incredible.”“I still can’t believe this is actually happening,” Victoria said, studying her reflection with something like disbelief. “A year ago I was someone entirely different. I don’t think that version of me could have imagined standing here.”“That version of you doesn’t exist anymore,” Sofia said softly, standing to adjust the small train pooling around Victoria’s feet. “This is who you actually are, underneath everything that circumstance and fear once made you.”The seamstress made a few final adjustments, pinning small alterations along the waistline, and I watched Victoria’s expression

  • Reborn to Ruin Him   Completely closed

    “Completely closed. Say that again, slowly, so I actually believe it.”I sat across from Ashford’s desk the following morning, Xavier beside me, disbelief and quiet relief tangling together as I processed the news properly.“The civil case against the remaining Meridian Holdings associates settled yesterday afternoon,” Ashford confirmed, sliding a final document across the desk. “Full restitution has been secured for the fraudulent claim against your inheritance, with additional damages awarded given the scope of the conspiracy involved.”I flipped through the pages slowly, legal language finally translating into something that felt real, tangible, complete.“There’s nothing left,” I said slowly. “No more threads, no more associates to track down, no more pieces of this conspiracy still operating somewhere I haven’t found yet.”“Nothing that I’m aware of,” Ashford confirmed. “Irish Devonte remains in prison, serving her sentence. Jeremy has fully cooperated and rebuilt his life honest

  • Reborn to Ruin Him   Ivory or blush

    “I need your honest opinion. Ivory or blush?”Victoria held up two fabric swatches at my kitchen table, Sofia beside her scrolling through a tablet full of venue photographs, both of them deep in the particular chaos of early wedding planning I remembered fondly from my own experience.“Ivory,” I said, without hesitation. “It’ll photograph better against the garden venue you mentioned.”“That’s exactly what I said,” Sofia added, not looking up from the tablet. “She just wanted a third opinion to feel better about overruling me.”Victoria swatted at her fiancée’s arm, laughing. “I wanted validation, not an accusation.”I smiled, watching them bicker with the easy affection of two people who’d built something genuinely solid together, a far cry from the frightened, guilt-ridden women who’d first found their way into each other’s lives.“How’s the venue search going?” I asked, resting a hand against my slowly growing stomach, fourteen weeks now and finally beginning to show properly.“We
