LOGINFor three years, I had been Joseph Sinclair's kept woman, spoiled rotten without restraint. Joseph was a wealthy heir in Navaria. But when news spread that the woman he had never gotten over was flying back into the country that day, my heart still lurched. That night, I clung to him and begged until he finally agreed to take me to the beach to watch the stars. But neither the stars nor the man ever appeared. Then, an exasperated voice suddenly spoke from inside my womb. 'This is my ninth rebirth. Why am I still stuck in the womb of a lovesick idiot like you? 'You moron! The woman he never got over is your best friend, Lenore Hayes. My sorry excuse of a father has already taken her to a hotel. They're going at it right now. 'Just like the last nine times, the moment you catch them together, he'll shove you straight off the building. Your brains will splatter everywhere.' I shot to my feet. The sea wind cut through me, and my blood seemed to freeze in my veins. Just then, rain began to fall. But the very next second, an umbrella appeared over my head. Joseph stood behind me and sneered, "Did the news about me and Lenore shock you stupid? You don't even know how to hold an umbrella?" I thought about what I had just heard. I jerked out from under the umbrella, determined to get soaked instead. "You're reading too much into it. It's too hot. I'd rather cool off in the rain." With a sharp crack, the umbrella in his hand snapped in half.

She's actually…' Never in his life had Joseph wanted to see someone so desperately. His heart felt as though it had been pulled taut, and a strange, tingling ache spread through his chest.He leaned back in his seat and gripped his phone with both hands, his eyes fixed on the photo on the screen."Wait for me," he muttered.-Meanwhile, in Angelea, I had just left the hospital.Pregnancy turned out to be far more troublesome than I had expected: glucose screening, anomaly scans, and two full vials of blood drawn for testing.Fortunately, all the results came back normal.I rubbed my abdomen and smiled. "You two really do want to live, don't you?"'Of course we do! We've already survived nine lifetimes. You have to bring us into this world safely this time, Mom,' they said at the same time.By the time I left the hospital, darkness had
I got home and sank onto the couch, raking a hand through my hair.This was exhausting. Joseph just wouldn't stop coming after me.A few hours later, I received a call from an unknown number.I answered without thinking, and a shrill, furious voice screamed through the line. "Sabrina Davis! What did you do, you backstabbing little witch? What did you say to Joseph? Why doesn't he want me anymore?"My face darkened. The mere sound of Lenore's voice made me sick to my stomach."Are you unwell? Your relationship falling apart has nothing to do with me," I said.She cried and begged in the same breath, her voice on the verge of hysteria. "How does it have nothing to do with you? Sabrina, for the sake of the friendship we used to have, I'm begging you. Let him go. Please."I really can't live without him! If he leaves me, I'll die, and if I die, it'll be your fault! You'll be the one who killed me!"Her voice rose higher, more unhinged by the second. "If I die, you'll have blood on
My days without Joseph were unusually pleasant. I took long walks and spent leisurely mornings admiring the flowers.I no longer had to worry that one wrong move might cost me my life.Given Joseph's resources, I knew I would not be able to hide from him for long.But I had not expected him to find me so quickly.Only two weeks later, I was on my way home from a musical when I stopped dead at the corner. Beneath the dim glow of a streetlamp stood Joseph, his expression anything but pleasant.I froze in place.He regarded me with a conflicted look in his eyes. "Living it up out here, are you? Do you have any idea what I've spent the last two weeks doing?"I had no interest in humoring him. "What you've been doing has nothing to do with me.""And you don't need to tell me about whatever's going on between you and Lenore," I added with a hint of disgust. "Do you have some kind of exhibitionist streak?"He drew a sharp breath, his chest tight with fury. "Sabrina Davis!"-For th
I did not reply to a single one of them. I blocked every last contact and deleted them all in one sweep.From what the children had told me, staying anywhere near Joseph meant disaster was only a matter of time.Leaving was the only way I could survive.The airport was full of strangers who came and went in every direction, and not one of them knew who I was. Somehow, that made me feel safer than I had in years.-Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Joseph watched as his calls went from unanswered to straight to voicemail. His face darkened like coal. His thin lips pressed into a hard line, and even he could barely contain the emotions that churned in his chest.'So she has finally grown some nerve. A few words of discipline, and she has gone and vanished on me,' he thought darkly.He had no idea what she thought she was doing.He leaned back in his chair, exhausted, just as his assistant pushed open the office door."Report," he spat."Mr. Sinclair, the Bremont Group'
