Semua Bab The Billionaire's Obsession: Reborn For Revenge: Bab 291 - Bab 300

Emelia’s Pov I turned to him, brows lifting as I asked, “But isn’t it too big for only one person to sleep in?”He gave a small shrug, the corner of his mouth twitching upward, “That’s what the higher-ups arranged for you. You’re a respected guest here, Miss Emelia, so you have to be treated as such. They wouldn’t give you anything less.”His words sank in, warming me in a way I didn’t expect. Respected guest. Those weren’t words I heard often. I shifted my gaze back to the house, its cream walls glowing under the dim streetlights, and let out a quiet sigh.“Thank you.” I said softly. He inclined his head politely, his gray-flecked eyes steady on mine, “Of course. Would you like me to show you around the city now? Or would you prefer to rest first?”The thought of wandering through this colossal city sounded exciting, but my body had other ideas. My shoulders sagged, exhaustion finally weighing down like bricks, “I think I’ll rest first. I’ve spent almost twenty hours in the air, an

Emelia’s Pov For a heartbeat, I couldn’t move. My body was still pressed against his, my palms splayed against the hard plane of his chest as if anchoring myself to reality. Kaidon’s warmth seeped through my fingers, steadying me, pulling me out of the haze the last few minutes had thrown me into.He turned to me fully now, his coldness melting away the second the last trace of those men disappeared into the crowd. A small, teasing smile curved at his lips, so achingly familiar, and before I could even speak, his arms were around me.I squealed, a sound I couldn’t suppress, and before I knew it, I had flung myself against him, clinging to him like the world might tilt if I let go, “Kaidon!” I half-laughed, half-gasped, my voice shaky with relief, “What on earth are you doing in Capital City? And why didn’t you tell me you were coming?!”He chuckled, the sound vibrating against me as he held me close, “Surprise, sweetheart.” He said, his voice softer now but still threaded with that d

Emelia’s Pov I puffed out my chest dramatically, trying to look dignified despite the heat still rising to my cheeks, “Fine. I’ll reluctantly agree to take the money.” I even tilted my chin up for effect.Kaidon’s grin stretched wider, the streetlight catching the edges of his teeth, “That’s my girl.” He murmured, giving my fingers a squeeze, “We’ll talk about the details when we get home. For now…” His voice dipped low, full of playful promise, “Let’s just have some fun.”“Fun?” I echoed, one brow arched.“Yes, Emelia.” He said with mock exasperation, tugging me forward again, “Fun. You know, that thing you’re allowed to have before you stress about parties and investors.”I rolled my eyes but let him drag me along anyway, “You’re such a child.” “Whatever you call me, Emelia. I accept it.” I huffed but couldn’t fight the smile tugging at my lips as we slipped deeper into Capital City’s neon heart. Kaidon steered me toward a line of food stalls glowing in red and gold, the scent of

Emelia’s Pov The girl’s lips trembled. She tried to stammer, “N-no, you…”I cut her off, stepping forward, the click of my heels sharp against the marble, “No? Then explain why, after you bumped into me, I reached out to help you, and you screamed like I’d set you on fire. Explain that to everyone watching right now.”Her face paled, the act cracking under the weight of my words.I crossed my arms, keeping my gaze locked on her trembling form, “What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue? Or is it just hard to keep your lies straight when the truth is staring you in the face?”The whispers changed again, shifting, muttering.“If you wanted attention, you should’ve chosen another target.” I said coldly, my words slicing through her fake sobs, “Because I’m not someone you can frame so easily.”The girl’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. I stared at her for a moment, confused as to who she even was and why she wanted to frame me in the first place. I've never met her before and I'm confid

Emelia’s PovNuella Hale was someone I didn't think I'd have the chance to meet in my lifetime. She was from one of the richest families in all of Capital City and held a prestigious title, however, she could never match up to me in terms of programming, so she declared herself my rival.I at least thought that our meeting could be pleasant, but unfortunately, that's not meant to happen.I tilted my chin, letting my words fall deliberately, “Do you really think presence is proven by how loud one can bark? Do you think brilliance shines because you scream it in everyone’s face?” I took another step closer, the distance between us crackling with tension, “No. True presence is quiet. Unshakable. It doesn’t need to announce itself.”I let my gaze sweep over the crowd, holding their eyes one by one before landing back on her, “And as for not belonging here, my name card is written in gold ink on the chair you tried to steal. My invitation was sealed and delivered. My work has already shape
