Reborn to ruin the man who broke me Chapter 28 : The man behind the arrangement
Theo’s POVI woke up before Nora the following morning, although I made no immediate effort to leave the bed. She was lying on her side, facing away from me, with one hand resting beneath her cheek. A few strands of hair had fallen across her face, and I found myself watching her longer than I intended.There was something unexpectedly satisfying about seeing her this way, without the guarded expression she usually wore whenever we discussed the investigation or the people who had hurt her. She looked peaceful, and for a moment, I wished I could keep the rest of the world from disturbing it.I reached out and gently moved the hair away from her face. She stirred, opening her eyes a few seconds later.“Are you staring at me?”“Good morning to you too.”She blinked before glancing at the clock. “It’s early.”“You’re welcome to go back to sleep.”“Are you going to keep staring while I do?”I smiled. “I haven’t decided.”She turned onto her back, looking at me with an expression that was
Reborn to ruin the man who broke me Chapter 27 : The things we leave behind
Nora’s POVI found Theo in the dressing room when I came out of the bathroom, already dressed for the day. He stood in front of the mirror adjusting his cufflinks, his attention focused on the small task until he noticed me watching him."Good morning," he said."Good morning."His eyes moved over my face before settling on my hair, which I hadn't bothered to do properly yet. "You slept well?""Well enough.""That's a very diplomatic answer."I reached for my dressing gown and hung it over the chair. "Would you prefer a detailed report?""Not particularly. I was only asking."There was something about the way he said it that made me smile. Since our night together, even ordinary conversations seemed to carry an additional meaning. I wasn't uncomfortable with him exactly, but I was still getting used to the knowledge that the man standing in front of me had kissed me, held me, and seen a side of me I hadn't intended to share so soon.Theo seemed to be experiencing something similar. He
Reborn to ruin the man who broke me Chapter 26 : The missing records
Nora’s POV I woke to the sound of my phone vibrating against the bedside table, and for a moment, I lay still, staring at the ceiling as the previous afternoon returned to me. The meeting with the former executive, the things he had remembered about my mother, and Patricia's discovery of the missing attachments all seemed to settle in my mind at once. There were still too many unanswered questions. Every time we found something that appeared to bring us closer to the truth, another piece disappeared, leaving us with more uncertainty than before. I turned towards the other side of the bed, where Theo had slept beside me the previous night. The sheets were already empty, but the faint warmth left behind reminded me that it had happened. We had spent the night together, and although I wasn't prepared to decide what that meant for us, I couldn't pretend it meant nothing. Our situation hadn't suddenly become simple. I still had reasons to question him, and there were things he hadn't
Reborn to ruin the man who broke me Chapter 25: The Things He Remembered
Theo’s POVBy the time I finished getting ready that morning, Nora was already downstairs. I found her in the dining room, looking through the notes she had prepared for our meeting with the former Calloway executive. A cup of tea sat beside her, almost untouched, while several pages were arranged neatly across the table.She looked up when I approached, and for a brief moment, neither of us said anything. There was something different about seeing her that morning, perhaps because the memory of the previous night was still fresh in my mind. I wondered whether she was thinking about it too, but the way she immediately returned her attention to the documents suggested she had decided not to make it a subject of conversation."Good morning," I said, taking the seat beside her."Good morning. You're late."I glanced at my watch. "I'm five minutes early.""Which means you should have been here earlier."I smiled and reached for the coffee the staff had placed on the table. "I see you're i
Reborn to ruin the man who broke me Chapter 24 : A step closer
Nora’s POVI spent most of the afternoon trying not to think about what had happened in Theo's study, although my efforts were proving rather unsuccessful. Every time I looked at the documents in front of me, my thoughts somehow found their way back to the same moment, replaying the warmth of his hand against my cheek and the softness of his lips against mine. It hadn't been planned, and I certainly hadn't expected myself to agree when he asked if he could kiss me. Yet I had, and the memory was becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.What unsettled me most wasn't the kiss itself but how carefully he had approached me. He had given me the opportunity to change my mind, and when I didn't, he had treated my decision with a gentleness I wasn't accustomed to receiving from him. I had spent so much time questioning his intentions that I hadn't considered what it would feel like to have him want something from me without trying to control the outcome.By the time evening arrived, I had co
Reborn to ruin the man who broke me Chapter 23 : The moment between us
Theo’s POVI had spent most of the morning pretending that the previous night had not changed anything.It was easier to focus on the documents scattered across my desk than to think about Nora standing in front of Ivy, refusing to be intimidated by the woman who had made her life miserable. Nora had always possessed a stubborn streak, but lately, I had begun to see something beneath it. She was not simply fighting because she wanted revenge. She was fighting because she had spent too long allowing other people to decide what she deserved.And for some reason, the thought of everything she had endured bothered me more than it should have.I leaned back in my chair and glanced at the clock. Patricia was supposed to confirm the exact time for our meeting with the former executive later that afternoon, but I had already checked my phone three times in the last ten minutes. The fourth time, I caught myself and dropped it onto the desk.This was ridiculous.I had a company to run, a family
