Semua Bab Reborn: The Billionaire Second Chance Bride: Bab 61 - Bab 70

MIA’S POVNobody moved.The black box sat in the middle of the hallway untouched while security formed a nervous circle around it. Employees lingered farther back pretending not to stare while very obviously staring.Second chances end.The words on the white card seemed darker the longer I looked at them. “Mia,” Sophie said quietly beside me, “maybe you shouldn’t go near it.”But my feet moved anyway. Something about the message pulled at me in the worst possible way. Not because I thought someone knew. Because they didn’t. They couldn’t.But after remembering your own death for five years straight, certain words stopped feeling harmless. David stepped in front of me before I could get closer. “Wait.”I looked up at him. “I need to see it.” David’s jaw tightened. “That’s not how security protocols work.”“And hiding things from me clearly hasn’t been working either.” The words came out sharper than I intended. But not sharp enough to be untrue. Something flickered across David’s face

MIA’S POVThe cameras went black. Every screen inside my office died at once. One second the hallway outside existed. The next… nothing.Static flickered briefly before disappearing completely. Sophie straightened immediately beside the windows. “Okay, I officially hate this.”Ryan moved toward the desk fast, grabbing the office phone first. “Security?” Silence answered him. His expression darkened. “Nothing.”David was already pulling his own phone out. Calm. Focused. Dangerous. The atmosphere inside the office changed instantly.We all shared a look because everybody understood this wasn’t random anymore. Somebody had shut down the executive floor deliberately. The lights flickered overhead.My stomach tightened violently. For one horrible second all I could remember was another room. Another celebration. Another glass in my hand. Poison burning slowly through my veins while everyone around me smiled.“Mia.” Sophie’s voice pulled me back sharply. I blinked hard several times.“You o

MIA’S POV“It was delivered here.” The words settled heavily inside the penthouse. Nobody moved immediately.David stood near the security monitors holding a small black package while Ethan’s expression turned dangerously unreadable. My stomach tightened instantly, my heart began to beat faster, because even in this secured penthouse.Another package.Another message. Another reminder that somebody was getting closer. “Open it,” Ethan said calmly. David hesitated briefly before cutting through the seal carefully. I watched every movement. Every second. Waiting for another threat. Another twisted message.Instead,, David pulled out a folder, Then another, from view point seemed absolutely normal, nothing alarming nothing threatening, nothing personal I blinked, my mind refused to believe it, there must be something it kept saying.“That’s it?” Sophie asked from the couch. David frowned slightly flipping through the documents. “Blackwood acquisition files.”Silence followed as everyone

MIA’S POV Ethan stared at me from the office doorway. Neither of us moved. My heartbeat slammed painfully against my ribs like a criminal caught commuting murder while the silence stretched between us. God. How much had he seen? How long ago had he realized? His expression remained unreadable for one horrible second before he spoke quietly. “How long were you standing there?” I took a big gulp feeling intimated my his scrutinizing eyes.’“Not long” I lied through my teeth and Ethan knew it too I could see it in the slight narrowing of his eyes. Behind him, David stayed silent near the desk, his attention moving carefully between both of us, Ethan stepped farther into the hallway closing the office door behind him halfway, Like he still didn’t entirely trust leaving me alone. “How much did you hear?” he asked. The question came softer this time. Worse somehow, I folded my arms instinctively. “Nothing important.” I lied again, his gaze lingered on me steadily, as though he was t

MIA’S POV I hated him, I absolutely hated him, I growled gritting my teeth fiercely, every ounce of me wanted to punch the attitude out of him. My face still burned from where Ethan had wiped the sweat from my skin like it meant something and the worst part? He’d done it so naturally, like it was a regular habit. No hesitation, Just instinct That somehow made it worse. I stormed across the bedroom suite toward the floor-to-ceiling windows trying to calm the frustration twisting inside my chest. Behind me, Ethan remained near the bathroom doorway completely unbothered. At least outwardly. “You’re walking aggressively,” he observed calmly. I turned instantly. “You’re incredibly annoying.” One dark eyebrow lifted slightly. “That’s a strong reaction to basic hygiene.” My jaw dropped, I couldn’t believe my ears, “You know exactly what you’re doing.” “No,” Ethan said smoothly. “I really don’t.” Liar. The man could negotiate billion-dollar acquisitions before breakfast but sudde
