All Chapters of Reborn to Marry My Ex's Enemy: Chapter 41 - Chapter 47

POV SimonI never imagined desiring Amy Romano, not once in my life. The newspapers were right about me; I could have any woman I wanted, but I did not take them by choice. I was neither a womanizer nor a gallant charmer, even though I loved the position and the power it had given me.With Amy, it was different.Since the night of the accident when my car hit hers and I saw her bleeding, I wanted to protect her. I looked at her differently, and this kept pounding in my head uninterrupted, without my being able to control it.She said she would be my woman, that she would leave Warren to marry me. At first, her words just sounded provocative and nonsensical in my ears, and I played with her for as long as I could, until she involved me in her crazy plan, and I fell like a fool into her manipulative game.I had no idea why I was doing that, and Amy had not explained much to me, but I became more and more involved, always seeking to know every detail of her life. I watched her steps, spe

AmyMy head was spinning as I set foot inside the house. Vincent’s words raced through my mind non-stop, preventing me from thinking clearly.My chest burned, and my body pleaded for a shower so I could eliminate any trace and memory of Simon from me. I felt offended knowing he needed a prostitute after being with me, which clearly signaled I hadn’t satisfied him in bed.I slid my hand along the staircase when murmurs echoed throughout the house. Not only that, but I recognized that voice, that laugh. I closed my eyes tightly as heels clicked on the marble, coming toward me. I didn’t want another long conversation, especially not with Alice and Grace.“Dear Amy, it’s good you returned.” Alice wore a presumptuous smile of forced happiness that sent shivers down my spine.“I am sorry, Alice, but I don’t have time to talk right now; I need a shower and some painkillers.”I didn’t even look her in the eyes; my feet moved to the next step until Grace’s hand brutally pulled me, causing me t

AmyI took a long bath and lay down to relax. The pain in my legs constantly reminded me of everything that happened. I couldn’t forget Simon and the way everything unfolded.I didn’t know if I could sustain this situation any longer.On the other hand, people pressured me to marry as quickly as possible. In the past, things didn’t happen this way. Why did Warren now want us to rush the marriage?I thought about it until I fell asleep.I had a quick, brief sleep. When I woke up, someone was knocking on my bedroom door. It was Megan, bringing a cup of tea, as if she guessed what I really needed.She set the tray on the bedside table and sat next to me. She watched my face for a few moments before she rested her hand on mine.“I’m fine, Mom, just a little tired.”“I’ve known you since you were born, and I know when things aren’t right.” She squeezed my hand lightly before pulling away and ending the touch. “Something is different about you, Amy, and I think everyone has noticed.”My fac
