Reborn to be a dangerous billionaire’s wife 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

DamienI’d instructed Kingsley to be outside by six, I wanted to be in town before nine.Waking, my hand brushed against Valerie’s bare skin, cold, tempting. I pulled the blanket over her, turned away, and headed for the shower. Dressed and composed, I walked out to where Kingsley was already waiting by the car.Nexa Global Solutions rose like glass against Toronto’s skyline, impossible to ignore. Morning light caught on its mirrored surface. The building didn’t just exist, it commanded.I stepped out of the car, gaze lifting to the tower. For a moment, I let myself admire it the way men admire its beauty.The doors slid open before I touched them. Moving with the kind of silence that made you wonder if the air itself obeyed. A soft voice calm, feminine, precise voice rose from nowhere and everywhere at once.“Good morning. Please state your name.”I paused a fraction, the corners of my mouth lifting faintly. “Damien Grayson.”“Mr. Grayson,” the voice replied smoothly, “welcome. We’ve

DawnI paced the room, each step clipped, deliberate, the soft fabric of my dress brushing against my thighs. The plan replayed in my head like a prayer I refused to forget.Walk into that house. Smile. Be perfect. Take the ring in any possible way. Sell it. Replace it with something quieter, cheaper. Use the money wisely, add it to my savings, mix it with Father’s allowance, and buy that designer dress. No one at the reunion will outshine me. Not this year. Not ever.I stopped by the mirror, staring at my own reflection. My lipstick hadn’t smudged. My hair fell neatly into place. But my eyes were sharp, betraying the storm underneath. They’ll speak my name until next year’s reunion. And then again, and again, until it never leaves their mouths.The weekend had arrived. Ethan had gone out to shop for a few things to take to his father’s estate, leaving me behind with my thoughts. I tried to breathe, steadily, but nerves danced along my skin. My fingers hovered over my phone. To call m

Damien“You bastard, you think you can keep her safe forever?”Herper’s voice sliced through the silence like glass. His arm lifted, gun aimed straight at Liora. I barely had time to react before the shot rang out.The world slowed. The sound of the trigger still echoed in my ears as Liora’s body crumpled, scarlet spilling across the floor beneath her. My legs moved before my mind caught up, desperation clawing at my chest as I tried to reach her.But then I felt it. A shadow shifting above me. Heavy. Ominous. I turned my head, dread curdling in my stomach.The sharp trill of my phone jolted me upright. My chest heaved, sweat slicking my temples. Just a dream. A nightmare.The phone rang again, its shrill tone drilling into my skull. I grabbed it from the nightstand and checked the caller ID. Kingsley.Perfect. Just the man I needed to speak to.I pressed the phone to my ear, my voice edged with command. “Kingsley, what the hell is this? I told you to take care of that jerk Herper.

Liora“Grandpa, you don’t have to worry about them, okay?” My voice softened and I reached for his hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.His wrinkled eyes lifted to mine, shimmering with a tenderness that made my chest ache. “You are the only one who truly makes me happy,” he said, his voice slow but steady. “Please, darling, make sure you visit me often.”I forced a smile even though guilt tugged at me. “I’ll try my best, Grandpa. And if I can’t make it here, I’ll arrange for you to visit me instead.”That earned me a smile and a slow nod from him.“Tell me,” I asked carefully, “when was the last time you went to see my dad?”“I was there last week,” he replied after a pause, his gaze dropping as though retracing the memory. “And I’ll be going again before the week runs out.”A spark of relief flickered through me. “Why don’t we go together this time? Since I’m here already. I don’t know if I’ll be free enough to make the trip during the week.”He looked at me for a long moment, then

Liora“Be safe, okay?” my grandfather said as he kissed my forehead and pulled me into one of his warm, lingering hugs. As I dropped him off at his house, he added with a playful smile, “Visit soon, but this time come with Damien.”“I will, Grandpa. Call me if you need anything, okay?” I replied, squeezing his hand before letting him go inside.My grandfather wasn’t just a kind man, he lived by preaching love and understanding. Growing up, he guided me through every decision with patience, never forcing his will but offering wisdom I still carry. And when I came of age, he respected my choices, even if they weren’t what he might have wanted. All he ever hoped was that I would find happiness.The only time he voiced disapproval was with Ethan. And, in the end, he was right, that relationship ended in ruins.Drake carried in the bags of items I’d bought for him, then we were back on the road, heading toward my spa. I leaned against the seat, scrolling absently through my phone, when a h
