Derek's POV

I couldn’t stop thinking about the way she had looked at the spoon.

It was a ridiculous thing to fixate on, but as I stood in the kitchen staring at the empty ceramic bowl, the image was burned into my mind.

Rose, tucked under the heavy duvet, her pale skin looking like translucent silk in the lamplight, taking that first sip of the broth I had spent an hour making. I wasn't a man who liked the kitchen, but seeing her throat move as she swallowed, seeing a ghost of color return to

  • THE HEIRESS'S REBIRTH:REBORN AS A THORN IN MY HUSBAND'S PATH   The Grand finale

    Rose’s POVThe ticking wasn’t high-tech. It wasn't a sleek digital countdown from a movie. It was a dull, mechanical click-clack that sounded like an old kitchen timer, and that made it so much worse. It made it feel real.Richard’s hands were slick with sweat as he fumbled with the wires taped to my sternum. He looked pathetic. His expensive suit was torn, his hair was matted with drywall dust, and he smelled like a man who hadn't slept in a week. He held a jagged shard of glass against my throat, but his grip was shaking so hard the edge kept catching on my skin, drawing tiny, stinging beads of red."You did this, Rose," he whispered, his breath hot and smelling of rot. "I had a plan. We were going to be the best couple. But you... you had to be greedy. You had to go looking for a dead man's ghost. Why couldn't you just let your father stay in the ground?"I didn't cry. My eyes were too dry for that now. I just stared at a rust stain on the wall and felt a strange, heavy peace.I am

  • THE HEIRESS'S REBIRTH:REBORN AS A THORN IN MY HUSBAND'S PATH   The Devil's Handshake

    Marcus’s POVThe phone was slick in my hand, sliding against my palm as the driver took a corner on two wheels."What do you mean he has her?" I roared, the sound echoing in the cramped space of the SUV. "I sent thirty men to that Broadway ambush. How does a dead man intercept my mission?!"It wasn't a fight, Boss," the voice on the other end was trembling, static cutting through the fear. "It was a slaughter. Richard’s people... they didn't just have guns. They had heavy ordinance. They took her, Marcus. They took her and left the street, it was a bloodbath, most of our men are dead including Derek's guards."I slammed my fist into the leather seat. My chest felt like it was being crushed by an invisible vice. Richard. That cockroach had done it againa. He had snatched the only thing that mattered. If he touched her, if he so much as breathed on her I would peel the skin from his bones while he was still screaming.But I couldn't do it alone. Not now. Richard had gone off the grid, a

  • THE HEIRESS'S REBIRTH:REBORN AS A THORN IN MY HUSBAND'S PATH   Bloody Ambush

    Michelle’s POVThe digital clock on the dash was mocking me. 3:14 AM. Who even exists at this hour? I looked at Rose, huddled under a heap of blankets like a broken bird, and I felt that familiar, nagging urge to crack a joke just to stop myself from shaking."Seriously, Rose," I whispered, reaching over to squeeze her hand. Her fingers felt like dry ice. "If we are going to London, you better be ready for the rain. My hair is going to be a disaster. We are talking 1980s frizz, and it’s all your fault."Rose didn’t laugh. She didn't even blink. She just stared at the back of Peter’s head. "The wedding," she rasped. "Vanessa is she going to marry Derek?"I tried to force a chuckle, but it felt like swallowing glass. "Honey, your life is in danger and you are still thinking about my brother. Forget about them. In ten hours, we will be eating overpriced scones and complaining about the British accent. Just hold on."In the front seat, Silas was a wall of stone. He hadn't moved an inch,

    Marcus’s POVThe crystal flute felt cold against my palm. I watched the bubbles rise in the champagne, gold and frantic, like tiny souls trying to escape a sinking ship."Say it again," I whispered.The man standing in front of my desk was trembling so hard I could hear the fabric of his tactical vest rustling. He was one of Derek’s elite. One of the loyal ones. It’s funny what a man will do when you’re holding his daughter’s life in your hands."She’s... she’s at St. Jude’s, Boss," the guard stammered, his eyes glued to the floorboards. "She got away from Richard. Some girl named Vanessa hit him over the head. Rose ran into the woods, got hit by a car, but she is stable. She’s alive."I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding. A laugh bubbled up in my throat, raw and genuine. I popped the cork, the sound echoing like a gunshot in the quiet room."Alive," I breathed, pouring the vintage liquid. "My sweet, stubborn Rose. She always did have a spine made of iron."I took a sip,

  • THE HEIRESS'S REBIRTH:REBORN AS A THORN IN MY HUSBAND'S PATH   Betrayer Got Betrayed

    Rose’s POVThe question was still hanging there, heavy and suffocating like a shroud, when the door burst open. The doctors swarmed in, a blur of white coats and flashing pens, their voices overlapping in a clinical buzz that drowned out the look in Derek’s eyes."Her heart rate is peaking," the head doctor said, gesturing to the monitor. "It’s the stress and trauma. The brain is trying to process the trauma, and it’s misfiring. She needs rest."Derek didn't move for a long time. He stayed perched on the edge of my bed, his gaze locked onto mine, searching for the answer I hadn't given. For a second, I thought he was going to push the doctor aside and demand the truth right there, but then he blinked. The Lucifer mask slid back into place cold, calculating, and protective."Yes she needs to rest," Derek said, his voice dropping an octave. "She needs us. We will take it from here. Do not let anyone know Rose Hawthorne has been found. I want this kept from everyone."The doctors nodded

    Rose’s POVThe hospital room didn’t feel like a hospital anymore. It felt like a bunker.Every time I shifted my legs under the thin white sheets, I would hear the synchronized creak of three different chairs. Derek, Michelle, and Silas hadn’t moved from my side for sixteen hours. They had turned St. Jude’s VIP suite into a Hamilton fortress. No guards. No nurses stayed longer than thirty seconds. Just them."If I have to eat one more cup of this lime Jello, I am going to personally sue this entire medical board," Derek muttered.He was sitting in a chair that looked way too small for his frame, his expensive charcoal suit jacket tossed over a rolling tray. He looked a mess his jaw was shadowed with stubble, and his eyes were dark with a mixture of exhaustion and a territorial sort of rage that hadn't simmered down since he walked through the door."Oh, shut up, Derek," Michelle snapped, though there was no heat in it. I was shocked, since when did Michelle grow a spine to talk back
