บททั้งหมดของ THE REBORN HEIRESS STRIKES BACK : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Susan’s pov The words hung in the air, thick and suffocating—a job offer to be his maid? Was he for real? I felt Lily’s delighted gaze on me, waiting for me to crack. Waiting for me to accept it, to thank him. My stomach twisted. My body trembled with anger and disbelief and then I laughed—low and bitter. “You want me to be your maid?” “That’s the only thing you’re good for” he replied to me with an almost bored expression Lily giggled like a child who got what they wanted, “you’ve always had a soft spot for her darling, letting her stay instead of throwing her to the streets, that’s very generous” I knew what he was doing, he wasn’t just trying to hurt me, he wanted to break me. I lifted my chin, trying to steady my voice “Go to hell, Jamie” His smile didn’t fade even for a second “You first sweetheart” My throat burned. My heels clicked against the marble floor as I walked away, into the darkness of the night. He didn’t stop me, a part of me wanted him to, to tell

Susan’s pov First things first. I needed a plan— one without flaws. There was no room for mistakes this time. I paced back and forth inside my room, from one end to the another, my mind racing. I listed everything I had done in my past life, every mistake I had made. The list was long— too long. And still, despite everything, I was never enough. Those words echoed in my brain like a curse. Never enough. Rage surged inside of me, I am human and I had emotions. A tear drop slipped from my right eye. I let it fall. I didn’t wipe it away because this was the last time. I sat down at my desk, reaching for a pen. I needed to write down my plan. I pulled my drawer open, my eyes caught it and my hand froze — a journal. Not just any journal— the journal. Jamie had given to me when we got married seven years ago. One of the many gifts he had given me before I realized he was nothing but a liar. ——————————————————————————— “Ohhh… my wife, I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of yo

Susan’s pov 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—

Susan’s pov 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.

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
