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 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

    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 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

    Susan’s pov “I don’t want you to stop” I whispered breathlessly, my voice trembling between moans. “I want you to show me how much you love me” Johnny didn’t say anything, he didn’t need to, his eyes said everything— desire, hunger and devotion. In one swift move he unhooked my bra and it fell off exposing my hard nipples. His lips closed around one of my nipples, and the moment his warmth touched me there, a shiver shot down my spine. I gasped, my fingers tangling tighter in his hair as I ground against the hard length of him like my body was begging for more—like it needed him to survive.He grabbed my ass and squeezed it—gently, possessively—like he’d been dreaming of this moment for a long time. Then, without warning, he flipped me over and laid me down on the couch. His eyes locked with mine, like he was trying to memorize every part of me. Then he smiled— a slow, wicked smile that made my knees weak. He took off his shirt, revealing the chiseled perfection of his body. Hard a

  • THE REBORN HEIRESS STRIKES BACK    Chapter 21

    Susan’s POV We didn’t stop running until the streets turned familiar again. Until the night lights of our neighborhood flickered above our heads like distant stars. My lungs burned, and my legs felt like they could collapse at any second, but Johnny never let go of my hand. We kept going, weaving through alleys and empty sidewalks, the city blurring around us as adrenaline dragged us home. By the time we reached the front door, sweat clung to our skin and our breaths came in ragged gasps. Johnny pushed it open, and we stumbled inside together, slamming it shut behind us. The silence that followed was thick and ringing. No more shouting. No more gunshots. Just the pounding of our hearts, still echoing from everything we had just survived. My heart hadn’t slowed since we ran—since the bullet missed me by inches, since Artemis screamed from the shadows, bleeding and furious. Even now that I was safe—if anywhere could still be called safe—I felt like I hadn’t stopped running. I fo
