The rebirth of Natasha Berlin The Man Behind the Fear
Chapter Thirty-Nine.DuncanDuncan remained inside his car long after Natasha had disappeared from his view. His hands rested tightly against the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the entrance of the building where she had gone.She had changed.That was the only explanation he could give himself.The Natasha he had known before would have hesitated. She would have questioned herself, second-guessed her decisions, and eventually allowed him to convince her that everything could still be fixed.But the woman who had sat across from him that afternoon had been different.Calm.Confident.Almost unfamiliar.She had looked at him without the slightest trace of the fear he remembered.And that unsettled him more than anything else, Duncan reached for his phone and stared at the screen.Three missed calls.All from the same number.He knew exactly who was calling.He had deliberately ignored the calls during his meeting with Natasha, but he knew he couldn't avoid them forever.His jaw tight
The rebirth of Natasha Berlin Instinct
Chapter Thirty-Eight.SebastianThe boardroom was unusually quiet as the meeting came to an end.One by one, the executives gathered their documents and laptops before leaving, offering Sebastian polite nods as they filed out. Ordinarily, he would have remained behind to review the quarterly reports or discuss the next acquisition with Marcus. It had become a routine so familiar that no one questioned it anymore.Today, however, his attention had wandered more than once.He had caught himself staring out the floor-to-ceiling windows instead of the presentation on the screen. Numbers that usually demanded his full concentration had become little more than meaningless figures. Every time his mind drifted, it returned to the same place.Natasha.She was meeting Duncan this afternoon.Sebastian had trusted her decision without argument. He respected the fact that she wanted to face the past on her own terms, but respect did little to silence the uneasy feeling that had settled in his ches
The rebirth of Natasha Berlin The Final Meeting
Chapter Thirty-Six.NatashaTuesday arrived far sooner than I wanted.The moment I opened my eyes, I knew today would be exhausting.Some mornings carried an unexplainable heaviness, as though the day itself was warning you to prepare for what lay ahead.This was one of those mornings.I stared at the ceiling for several seconds before reaching for my phone on the bedside table.8:02 a.m.A message from my lawyer was already waiting.Mr. Hayes: I'll meet you at Blackwood Café at 2:30 p.m. Mr. Duncan Hayes has confirmed his attendance.I read the message twice before locking my phone again.So...He was actually coming.I wasn't sure whether to be relieved or annoyed.Probably both.With a sigh, I pushed myself out of bed and made my way toward the kitchen. The apartment was unusually quiet. For a moment, I assumed Sebastian had already left for Laurent Holdings, but the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee drifting through the hallway told me otherwise.When I stepped into the kitchen,

The rebirth of Natasha Berlin The Man Who Wouldn't Let Go
Chapter Thirty-Five.SebastianThe apartment was silent.Not the peaceful silence I had grown accustomed to over the past few weeks.This one was heavier.I stood in the study with my jacket draped over the back of my chair, staring absently at the reports Marcus had dropped off earlier that evening. Numbers, projections, acquisition proposals—documents that normally demanded my complete attention.Tonight, they blurred together.For the first time in years, work wasn't the thing occupying my thoughts.Natasha was.Or more specifically...The look on her face after the call from her lawyer.I had seen disappointment before. In boardrooms. In negotiations. In people who lost everything because they had gambled on the wrong decision.But what I'd seen in Natasha's eyes wasn't disappointment.It was exhaustion.The kind that came from fighting the same battle over and over again.I leaned back in my chair, recalling every conversation we'd had about Duncan. She never spoke about him with
The rebirth of Natasha Berlin The Weight of Silence
Chapter Thirty-Four.NatashaThe drive back to the apartment was unusually quiet.Not the uncomfortable kind of silence that demanded to be filled, but the kind that lingered after words had already done their job. The city lights streaked past the windows in blurred ribbons of gold and white, while the faint hum of the engine became the only sound between us.I rested my elbow against the window and watched the buildings disappear one after another.Mrs. Laurent's words refused to leave my mind."The way you look at one another."Then my mother's voice followed."The way you instinctively take care of each other."I let out a slow breath.If only they knew.Everything they had seen...Every smile.Every shared glance.Every quiet gesture.It had all started because of a contract.So why did it no longer feel like one?"You've been quiet."Sebastian's calm voice pulled me from my thoughts.I turned my head slightly."So have you.""I asked first."A small smile tugged at my lips."I w

The rebirth of Natasha Berlin The divorce I chose
Chapter TwoNatashaThe first thing I did after being discharged from the hospital was file for divorce. There was no reason in delaying this marriage any longer. Duncan had never truly wanted it in the first place. The marriage had only been a transaction between our two families.Although I had b

Chapter OneNatasha The beeping of the machine close to me jolted my senses back to reality as I slowly opened my eyes. Above me was a bright white ceiling, the light reflecting off the polished walls of the room. The air carried the sharp, sterile scent of disinfectant mixed with medicine. To my
