The Billionaire's Obsession: Reborn For Revenge のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 281 - チャプター 290

Kaidon's Pov The iron gates of the BlackWood mansion creaked open, the familiar sound cutting through the silence of the estate. My car rolled slowly down the path, and as soon as I stepped out, the staff waiting along the steps bent low, murmuring greetings. I didn’t so much as spare them a glance. My strides were long, purposeful, and heavy with the irritation simmering beneath my skin.The grand double doors opened, and the chill of the mansion’s air conditioning hit me as I entered. The marbled floors gleamed beneath the chandelier light, polished so perfectly I could see my own reflection in them. A place I’d grown up in, a place that should’ve felt like home, yet every time I walked inside, all I felt was suffocation.The first person I saw was Gideon, Marcus’s most loyal dog, standing stiffly outside the office door like some kind of silent sentry. His broad shoulders were squared, his expression carefully blank, but I caught the flicker of tension in his jaw when our eyes met

Emelia’s Pov “Are you threatening me right now? Ethan, are you crazy?! How dare you?!” I slapped his hands away from my wrists, my chest heaving in anger, “You reached bottom low to be begging me here, Ethan because you know that no matter what you ask, I will never give it to you. You yourself know that so why come to me in the first place? You tried to get into the institute but you could not do it. Why do you think I will still help you?” Although I was the one who asked Jeffery not to under any circumstances allow Ethan to enter the institute, his skills still were not up to par. “You've lived for so long being hailed as a prodigy. The genius of the century, the golden child, the best guy in school, but in the end, you still have to kneel to me, the girl you despised and hated. I have to admit, I did a lot to you back then, but at the same time, if you hadn't given me the green light to go ahead, if you had squashed me down immediately without giving in to me sometimes under N

Emelia's Pov “You did great, Emelia. I'm glad that house okay.” He said, pulling back just enough to look at me. His eyes were warm, and he gave me that familiar, easy smile that always made me feel like things were actually okay.He ruffled my hair, a habit I’d never quite managed to get him to drop, no matter how many times I told him I wasn’t a kid anymore.“Good, good.” He said, his smile turning a bit more excited. He moved to sit on the edge of his desk, crossing one leg over the other. “Actually, I’ve been trying to find you for a specific reason, not just because I was worried sick.”I titled my head, “Oh? What is it?”“It’s about a huge event coming up.” He explained, leaning forward conspiratorially, “It’s happening at the Hall Of Fame in the Capital City.”My eyebrows shot up. The Hall of Fame? That place was legendary. It was where the world’s biggest movers and shakers in the tech industry, the ones whose names were practically currency, gathered. It was the annual meet

Emelia’s Pov He didn't shut up. Instead, he leaned in closer, his expression suddenly much more serious, though the teasing spark was still in his eyes. “No, really. I’ve always thought you were the most amazing person I knew. But today, seeing you own it, seeing you get ready to face the world as the person you really are…” He let the thought hang in the air, his gaze steady on mine. My heart started to beat faster, a nervous flutter replacing the exhaustion. The light in the room was dim, the air warm and quiet. He was so close I could feel the faint warmth radiating off him, smell the subtle, clean scent of his cologne. “Kaidon,” I whispered, not sure what I was trying to say. He didn't say anything, just shifted a little, closing the remaining distance between us. His hand moved from my cheek to cup the back of my neck, his thumb resting gently against my jaw. His eyes dropped to my mouth. Then, slowly, deliberately, he leaned in. His lips met mine in a soft kiss.

Emelia’s Pov The moment the plane touched down, I pressed my forehead lightly against the glass window, trying to catch every detail as the sprawling landscape of Capital City stretched out below. From above, it had already looked massive and now, standing on the ground, the sheer scale of it made my chest tighten with a mixture of awe and nerves.Towers rose so high they seemed to scratch at the clouds. The air felt different here, sharper, humming with a kind of restless energy I wasn’t used to. I tugged my bag closer to my side, still drinking it all in, when a light tap brushed my shoulder.Startled, I turned, and for a second, my breath caught.Standing there was a man. Not just any man, but one who looked like he’d been pulled out of the glossy pages of a magazine. His skin was smooth, warm-toned, catching the late afternoon light in a way that made it glow faintly golden. Dark hair, perfectly styled but not too stiff, framed his face. His jaw was sharp enough to look sculpted,
