All Chapters of REBIRTH OF MY GHOST GIRLFRIEND : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Lorenzo’s POVLaura danced in front of me like she was auditioning for some low-budget music video… slow hips, heavy breathing, hair flip every three seconds... Yes, she was sexy. Yes… I had touched her before. But right now? God. She looked… cheap. Desperate and cheap desperation had never been attractive to me.When she leaned in to kiss me… I had the strongest urge to just put a hand on her forehead and shove her back like a misbehaving toddler. Or scream “Ma’am, get help.”But Echo was still inside somewhere. Searching and I needed to buy her more time. So I forced myself to stay still… jaw clenched, mentally counting down seconds until I could leave.Then I heard it… A soft crack in the air.Adrian’s “I am about to cause chaos” sound.My head snapped toward Echo’s direction. She stood near the hallway… eyes blazing with fury so intense I felt it from across the room. And Adrian… of course… was grinning like a villain who finally found the red button.Great. Laura was about to suf

ECHO’S POVFor a moment, I just stared at Lorenzo... Absolutely silent. Absolutely frozen.Because… why would he even ask that? What could he possibly have seen that would make that question necessary?Finally, I swallowed. “Of course not,” I said, shaking my head hard. “Like I told you...Laura is my childhood best friend. We grew up together. Close enough that people sometimes joked we were like sisters.”I paused, memories blooming in my mind... messy braids, shared clothes, playing pretend princesses, fighting over ice cream spoons.“But no one ever… insinuated we were actual siblings,” I murmured softly. “Her mum... Mrs. Robert... was our maid. So yeah… we acted like sisters. But she’s not my sister. She’s just a friend.” I lifted my gaze to Lorenzo, confused. “Why did you ask?”Lorenzo looked genuinely thrown for a second... like his brain tripped over itself. Then he sighed and tapped the paper on the table.“Well, according to this paper right here,” he said slowly, “she carrie

LORENZO’S POVBy the time we got back home... I felt like someone had scooped out my insides and replaced them with disappointment... And honestly? Disappointment was a polite word. The real feeling? Something closer to humiliation mixed with a pinch of self–loathing and a whole bucket of “what the hell just happened?”When we left the house a few hours ago, I didn’t actually expect we would find a usable body. I was prepared for the usual... wandering around like idiots, staring at nothing, Adrian making dumb comments, Echo being cute and heartbreaking at the same time. But then… fate handed us a perfectly timed accident.Young guy. Fresh body. Died literally thirty seconds in front of us.I thought...wow, what a blessing. Not for Echo, obviously, because the body wasn't the same gender as her. But if Adrian had succeeded, if he had slipped into that body even for one damn second, it would have kept Echo hopeful. Motivated her. Shown her that this entire insane journey wasn’t just so

ECHO’S POVLong after Lorenzo left the living room, Adrian and I just… stood there. Floating in confused silence, staring at nothing, minds spinning like loose wheels on a broken cart.Adrian finally broke the silence. “Is it just me,” he asked ... eyebrows raised, “or is Lorenzo a little obsessed with this whole thing?”I let out a long sigh. “It’s not just you. I have been thinking the same thing.”Adrian nodded vigorously. “I mean, I like that he’s committed. Without him, I wouldn’t even have hope but his niceness...” he rotated his wrist dramatically “...is kinda weird. Like… suspiciously weird.”“Right?” I groaned. “Do you think he might be benefiting from helping us?”Not that I would mind him benefiting. Honestly... he deserved something good for how hard he’s been working. But I just wanted to know... instead of guessing and spiraling. It wouldn’t change the fact that he’s kind. Or that he’s helping me. But still…Adrian barked out a laugh. “Benefiting how? What... he has a gh

LORENZO’S POVFrank called just as I pulled into the driveway.I picked up immediately. “Done already?”“Yes,” he said. “And you handed it to Mrs. Flamez herself?” I asked, tension tightening my chest.“Sure,” Frank replied. “Her housekeeper though... piece of work. She almost didn’t let me see Mrs. Flamez.”I snorted. “Yeah, she’s a piece of work. Thanks, man.”“Anytime.”I hung up and stepped out of the car with a grin so wide it hurt... Relieved. Grateful.Hopeful that Echo’s mother having the documents would at least help keep her safe until we figured out this ghost-body-rebirth nightmare.I walked inside. “Now I can eat.”Except the moment I crossed the living room, I found Adrian and Echo whispering intensely... like two kids caught stealing biscuits.. .The instant they saw me, they froze. Then snapped upright... Then forced smiles?Echo floated closer, overly casual. “Oh! Where have you been?”I paused and stared at both of them... They looked guilty. Suspicious. Like they w
