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 long black hair, usually gentl

  • THE REBORN HEIRESS STRIKES BACK    Chapter 9

    The next morning, I arrived early at Harrington Tower. The city was still waking up, but I had been awake for hours. The anonymous person and the locket had lingered in my mind all night, but today, I had other important things to do.Nathan was waiting for me in my office, seated casually in the chair across from my desk. One thing that impresses me about him, is his ability to always keep to time. His sharp blue eyes assessed me, they were filled with doubts. I wouldn’t blame him for that, I didn’t stand up for him when I should have. But this time, I’ll give him enough time to build his trust for me again. “Bad night?” he asked playfully as I walked into the office. I ignored him and dropped a folder onto the desk. “Jamie has been using shell companies to funnel money out of his business. Your job is to trace the accounts and find out where it’s going.”He didn’t move, he looked at the folder and then to me. He let out a soft bitter laugh. “You still haven’t told me why I’m here?

    The elevator ride up felt like an eternity. The moment the doors slid open, I was met with the sharp scent of johnnys cologne and the sight of him leaning against his desk with his arms crossed. As I stepped into his office, his sharp blue eyes were filled with something different than the other times— amusement. “You work fast” he said with a smile, “Smith is already breathing down Jamie’s neck.” I dropped my bag on the chair. “Are you keeping tabs on me?”. “I like to know how my investments are doing” his smirk widened. “And you, Susan, you are proving to be very interesting”. “Am I supposed to take that as a compliment?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. “You should” he said leaning back lazily in his seat. I rolled my eyes, but there was no denying it, Johnny was testing me, pushing to see how far I’d go.“Why did you call me here?” I asked.He stretched his hand and tapped a folder on his desk “Another opportunity. A risky one.”I raised a brow. “Go on.”“A high-profile investo

    The morning sun cast a warm glow through the pent house window, shining on the leather couch where I sat. Johnny sat across from me, leaning back lazily in his chair, his long fingers tapping against the polished glass desk. His expression was unreadable and that made it difficult for me to tell whether he thought this was a joke or he was just basically observing. A contract was on the table in between us, freshly printed and waiting for signatures. “Go ahead, read it” he said, his voice was smooth but there was a clear cut to it— like he enjoyed testing people, waiting to see if they’d flinch— such an arrogant young man. I looked at him for a while, I hope he won’t be this stuck up forever. Even if he wants to, at least not to me. I picked up the contract, reading the terms carefully: A two-month business alliance. I would use my insider knowledge to dismantle Jamie’s empire piece by piece, and in return, Johnny would allow me to oversee his company’s finances. The contract marr

  • THE REBORN HEIRESS STRIKES BACK    Chapter 6

    It was time to make my first move. i knew Jamie too well— his buisness, his clients, his connections, and even his deepest weaknesses. And if he thought he could ruin me, he had no idea what I was capable of. When a woman wants to ruin you, she will stop at nothing to succeed. I held a masters degree in both business management and finance. For years, i had used that knowledge to help Jamie build his empire. But now, I would use it to take away everything from him. I might have been naive before but I was far from stupid. I sat at the desk in my room. With great care and full attention to details, I carefully mapped out my strategy. I listed his top clients, buisness partners and industry rivals. Names that held the power to either sustain him or break him. And then, I moved in to analyzed his company’s financial structure, taking note of every weakness he tried to hide. Connection and key players, buisness secrets, public perception and even his personal flaws— I documented it all

    I dressed up in the same clothes that I had worn in my last life it was a deliberate choice— to keep things interesting, to maintain the idea of the naive Susan. Eight minutes later I was downstairs, standing next to Lily. One glance at the both of us, you could tell that we were opposites, we had very different personalities. I had casual clothes on but Lily loved to draw all the attention to herself. “Awwwn sweetheart, you look so nice, shall we?” She said, wearing her usual cheerful smile “Yes we shall” I smiled back. We walked to her car together and few minutes later we were stepping into a winery. The same old spot— just as I remembered. “A winery?” I asked her with wide eyes for effect. “Lily, I’m pregnant, I shouldn’t be drinking alcohol” “Oh, Come on! we’d get you something non-alcoholic,” she pouted like a child begging for ice creamInside, she led me to seat at one end of the room, we sat down and a waiter came and We placed our order.
