All Chapters of Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Chapter 52I didn't sleep.I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling and listened to the estate settle around me. Footsteps somewhere below. A door. The low mechanical hum of security systems doing their quiet work in the walls.And down the hall, Matthias.That was the real problem. Not the unfamiliar room or the situation with Caden or the weight of everything Marcus had told me sitting in my chest like something I hadn't finished processing yet. Just the simple fact of him being thirty feet away and the way the evening had ended and the things that had been said that couldn't be unsaid now.I turned onto my side and pressed my face into the pillow and told myself firmly to stop.My phone buzzed on the nightstand.I looked at the screen before I could talk myself out of it.Unknown number. New message.*Did he touch you like I thought he would?*My stomach turned.Another came through immediately.*I know you're there.*I sat up.He didn't know. He couldn't know. This was the most

Chapter 54The building didn't announce itself.That was the first thing I noticed. No elaborate signage at the entrance, no gold lettering or dramatic facade. Just glass and steel rising thirty floors above the street, clean and severe and completely sure of itself in the way that things were when they didn't need to try.I stepped out of the car and looked up."You run this?" I said.Matthias came around the car adjusting his cuffs. "I own it."He walked toward the entrance and I followed, and the moment the doors opened the atmosphere changed around us like pressure equalising. People moved through the lobby with the focused efficiency of a place where time was understood to cost something. Conversations were short. Pace was fast. Nobody lingered.Then they saw Matthias.It wasn't dramatic. No one stopped. No one called out. But something rippled through the lobby the moment he walked in, a subtle collective straightening, a series of small acknowledgments, nods, and stepped-aside

Chapter 56He said the word quietly.That was the thing about Matthias when something had been decided. He didn't announce it. Didn't raise his voice. Just said the word and the air in the room reorganised itself around it.*Enough.*And then he was moving.---We didn't go back upstairs. He turned down a different corridor, pace faster and more direct than his usual unhurried stride. I matched it without being asked.The door at the end of the hall had no label. No window. Just a thumbprint scanner that clicked open when he pressed his hand to it.Inside, three people sat at consoles in front of a wall of screens. Security feeds. Maps. Movement data. The kind of room that didn't exist on any official floor plan.They stood the moment he entered."Alpha.""Leave," he said.They were gone in under ten seconds. The door locked behind them.Just us.Matthias crossed to the main console and placed my phone on the surface. "Pull every message from that number. Trace the origin point.""You

Chapter 58I lasted twenty-three minutes before I stopped pacing.The security screens had blurred into noise. Movement logs and camera feeds and data I could read enough of to know that nothing on them was telling me what I actually needed to know, which was where Matthias was and whether the message that said *he won't get there in time* had meant anything real.I picked up the radio. Put it down. Picked up my phone. Put it down.Then I opened the door and walked out.---Dante was in the hallway.Leaning against the opposite wall with his arms crossed like he'd been there the whole time. Which he probably had."You're not supposed to be out here," he said."I got restless.""That wasn't a suggestion to stay inside.""It felt like one."He looked at me with that expression he had, the one that gave nothing away but held a lot underneath."He's on his way back," he said."How long?""Soon.""That's not an answer.""It's the one I have."I crossed my arms. "Something's wrong. I can fe

Chapter 60The corridor was quiet after they took Caden away.Not peaceful. Just the specific emptiness that came after something violent had passed through a space and left it altered. The kind of quiet that had an echo in it.Dante left with the security team. Orders, containment, the procedural work of closing down what had happened. His footsteps faded and then it was just us.I was still holding the gun.I didn't realise it until Matthias reached for it."Give it to me," he said.Not a demand. Just a fact, stated plainly, with his hand held out and his eyes on my face rather than the weapon.My fingers were still tight around the grip. I made myself open them.Our hands touched briefly when he took it. He set it aside on the console without looking at it. His attention stayed on me."Are you hurt?""No.""Look at me properly.""I am looking at you.""You're looking through me." He moved closer. His hand came up and tilted my chin slightly, not roughly, just enough to make my eyes
