Susan’s pov

Johnny responded to my message almost instantly.

Johnny: Where are you?

Me: I’m home.

Johnny: Is it safe for me to come over?

Me: Yes, Jamie hasn’t been home for days.

Bring your encrypted tablet.

Johnny: On my way.

I wasn’t bothered about Jamie coming back to find Johnny here—he hadn’t slept at home for days. Same with Lily. I tried to act like everything was okay, like I wasn’t hurt, but deep down, I was. In my past life, on this same day, I was somewhere out there working my ass off to save up so I could buy medications for Jamie’s fake amnesia. Meanwhile, he was somewhere having fun with Lily.

A few minutes later, Johnny was at the door. I didn’t bother changing out of my pajamas. This wasn’t a corporate or social visit—it was war strategy. I ran to get the door, and he stood there in a casual white tee and grey-colored palazzo joggers. This was the first time I saw him wear anything other than his normal corporate outfit, and he looked stunning. His l

  • THE REBORN HEIRESS STRIKES BACK    Chapter 28

    Susan’s POVOnly the click of the gun was heard.It echoed loud in the room, like the last bit of hope breaking apart. Johnny’s hands were trembling as he pulled the trigger again… and again. Just more clicks—but there was no bullet. Nothing.His face twisted in shock.“No… no,” he muttered, staring at the useless gun like it had betrayed him. He shook it, pulled again. Still nothing. Just empty, cold clicks.Marshall laughed. It was deep, mean, like he was watching a child fail at something so simple.“You really thought I wouldn’t check your weapon?” he sneered.Johnny dropped the gun. It clattered to the floor.Then he charged towards Marshall.They crashed into each other hard, knocking over the chair, slamming into the desk. Marshall grabbed Johnny and slammed him into the floor. The sound of bones hitting tile made my heart drop.Johnny tried to fight back, but Marshall was faster, stronger. He got on top of Johnny and punched him hard in the face—once, twice, again.I screamed.

  • THE REBORN HEIRESS STRIKES BACK    Chapter 27

    Susan’s POVMy heart was still racing as I stood frozen in place, staring at him.“Marshall…” I breathed, barely able to say his name. “Why are you doing this? I was just starting to trust you.”He smiled, slow and wicked. “Took you long enough to figure it out.”I stepped back. My stomach twisted in fear. “Please… please, Marshall, don’t do this.”“Uh-uh… it’s too late now,” he said, shaking his head. Then his eyes flickered toward the bathroom. “You really should’ve minded your business, Susan.”“You’re the one who locked him in there,” I said, my voice shaky.He didn’t even flinch. “Of course I did. Nathan stuck his nose where it didn’t belong. Same as you.”I swallowed hard. “Why…? What do you want from me?”He stepped forward.I stepped back.And he smiled like I was a toy he was enjoying breaking.“I want you to finally know the truth,” he said. “You’ve been walking around all your life thinking you’re someone you’re not. Living in a story that was made up for you. Pretty little

  • THE REBORN HEIRESS STRIKES BACK    Chapter 26

    Susan’s POVThe brass key shook in my fingers as I pushed it into the lock again. I twisted harder. Nothing.I tried again.Still locked.I pulled it out and stared at it like it had betrayed me. “No, no, no… please,” I whispered, my voice breaking.I had been sure this was it. I had felt it in my bones. But the door stayed tightly shut.I stepped back, my heart pounding loudly in my chest, my hand trembling. Whoever was inside needed help—and fast. But I was stuck. Out of time. Out of strength.I dropped to my knees and crawled under the desk again, searching wildly. My hands scraped over the drawers, yanking them open, then slamming them shut. I flung open every cabinet I could find, tearing through files, envelopes, and loose paper. Anything that looked like it might hold something.Then I spotted it—tucked in the corner of the bookshelf behind old binders was a box. No, not one—three different boxes, all locked.Each one had a small label: “Spare Keys.”My heart jumped. I grabbed

  • THE REBORN HEIRESS STRIKES BACK    Chapter 25

    Susan’s POVMy hand gripped the doorknob of the bathroom tighter, and I leaned closer, pressing my ear against the cold wood.Another soft sound came—like something brushing against the wall. Then came a weak voice. Barely above a whisper.“Help…”My heart slammed against my ribs. I lost the urge to pee in an instant.I jerked back, stumbling a little. My belly felt heavy, and my hands went straight to it. I stood still for a second, trying to convince myself I’d imagined it. That it was just the plumbing. That maybe it was a rat, or the wind, or my mind playing tricks on me.But I heard it again.Clearer this time.“Help… please…”I froze.Someone was in there.Locked inside.I looked around the room, panic crawling up my spine like cold fingers. I had to open the door. I needed to open it.But how?I glanced at the lock again. It wasn’t broken or busted. Just locked. A regular bathroom door lock.“Where’s the damn key?” I muttered, eyes darting across the room.I tried the handle ag

  • THE REBORN HEIRESS STRIKES BACK    Chapter 24

    Susan’s POV Two months had passed.I was now six months pregnant.It still felt strange to say it out loud—even stranger to feel it. My belly was round now, heavy and firm. I could see it in the mirror, feel it when I moved, and I even caught Johnny staring at it sometimes like he still couldn’t believe it either.I hadn’t gotten any more messages. Artemis had gone quiet. Nathan was still missing, and the fear that once kept me up at night was slowly fading away. I was… okay. Not perfect. Not safe. But okay.And weirdly, I was happy.It wasn’t the loud kind of happiness. It was soft. Quiet. Like breathing clean air after a storm.But with the happiness came the mood swings too.One minute I was laughing, the next I was crying because I couldn’t find my hairbrush. I threw tantrums over the dumbest things—like the time Johnny brought me vanilla ice cream instead of coconut. But he never yelled. Never even sighed. He just pulled me close and rubbed my back like I was the most precious t

  • THE REBORN HEIRESS STRIKES BACK    Chapter 23

    Susan’s POVMy breath caught.The screen glowed softly in the dim room, casting sharp light across my face. My eyes stayed locked on the message, my chest tightening with every word.“Now that you’ve met the devil,Are you ready to know the truth about your mother?”I blinked once, twice. My hand trembled slightly as I lowered the phone, but before I could even process the weight of those words, a second message flashed across the screen—faster, bolder, like it had been waiting for me to see the first:Don’t listen to him, Susan.Artemis is trying to bring you down. You’re stronger than your past. Don’t let him ruin what you’ve built.I stared at the words.For a second, everything went still.The room. The breath in my lungs. The quiet hum of the city outside.I felt Johnny stir beside me. He was still awake—his hand was warm and solid on my waist. When I turned to him, he was already watching me, eyes soft with concern.“Another message?” he asked quietly.I nodded and handed him th
