บททั้งหมดของ Rebirth: The Substitute Heiress is the CEO's Genius Doctor: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Helena gasped, her eyes flying open as air rushed into her lungs.The room slowly came into view: chandeliers, mahogany furniture, and worried faces all looking at her. She realised she was in a leather chair, her hands clutching the armrests so tightly her knuckles were white."Helena? Are you alright?"That voice. She knew that voice.Helena’s head snapped to the side, and there was Michael, sitting next to her. His handsome face was marred by a frown that suggested he was worried. But she understood him more now; she could see the truth, what he was hiding underneath that facade."I... I..." Words wouldn't come. Her hand flew to her throat, feeling for the rope burn that should be there. But her skin was smooth, unmarked."Miss Reynolds, do you think we should call a doctor?" An older man in an expensive suit stood at the front of the conference table, a pile of papers in front of him.Helena's eyes scanned the room. It was the Reynolds family conference room, and at the far end, h

Helena's heart hammered against her ribs as she stood there, arm linked with Alexander Grant's, facing a ballroom full of shocked guests. Their eyes locked, and she saw the confusion flickering in those grey-blue depths.‘Please,’ she thought desperately. ‘Please just go along with this.’She hadn't told him anything when he'd saved her from that car. Their brief conversation had been nothing more than pleasantries and a thank you. But Helena remembered clearly from her past life that Alexander had attended this engagement party. He'd been standing in the corner, watching everything unfold before leaving early. She'd banked everything on that memory, on him showing up again.And he had.The murmurs around them grew louder."Helena!" Her father's voice cut through the noise. He stormed toward them, her mother close behind. "What is the meaning of this? Who is this man?""I already told you," Helena said, keeping her voice steady. "This is Alexander Grant. My future husband.""Alexande

Helena's eyes fluttered open to sunlight streaming through her bedroom curtains. For a blissful moment, she forgot everything… the engagement party, the public humiliation… Alexander Grant.Then her phone buzzed on the nightstand, shattering that peace.She grabbed it, squinting at the screen. Notifications flooded in: texts, emails, and social media alerts. Her heart sank as she opened the first news article."Alexander Grant and Helena Reynolds: Is This Engagement Real or a Publicity Stunt?"The article was accompanied by photos from last night. Helena cringed as she scrolled through them. In every single picture, she and Alexander looked stiff and awkward. Their body language screamed "strangers forced together", not "couple in love"."Sources close to the Reynolds family suggest the engagement was announced without prior planning," one article read. "Body language experts note the lack of chemistry between Grant and Reynolds, leading many to believe this is a marriage of convenien

Helena checked her reflection one last time, smoothing down the burgundy silk gown that hugged her curves in all the right places. The annual Manhattan Charity Gala was one of the most prestigious events of the season, and after the viral video with Alexander, all eyes would be on her tonight.She pulled out her phone and dialled Alexander's number."Helena," he answered on the second ring. "Let me guess… you need a date for tonight's gala.""How did you… never mind." Helena shook her head. Of course, he'd know about the event. "Will you come? As my plus one?"There was a pause. "I have some business to handle first, but I promise I'll meet you there. I might be a bit late, though.""How late?""An hour, maybe two at most. Can you manage without me until then?"Helena bit her lip. She'd been hoping to make a grand entrance together, but she could work with this. "Fine. But don't keep me waiting too long.""I wouldn't dream of it." She could hear the smile in his voice. "Wear somethin

"Will you marry me?"Helena stood frozen, her mind spinning with a thousand questions. ‘What was he doing? They hadn't discussed this. How did he just happen to have a ring with him? This wasn't part of the plan…’"I know I don't deserve you," Alexander continued in a softer voice now. "I know I'm not perfect, but you make me want to be better, Helena.”Helena's breath caught. The way he was looking at her… it was too real, too intense."You're strong and brave when others would break. You're everything I never knew I needed, and I'm asking you… begging you, to let me prove that I can be what you need too."The words felt like they were reaching into her chest and squeezing her heart. How could he sound so sincere? How could he make her feel like maybe, just maybe, this wasn't all an act?Her doubts cleared for just an instant, but it was long enough."Yes," Helena whispered, then louder, "Yes, I'll marry you."The ballroom erupted. Applause thundered from all sides, people cheering
