All Chapters of REBIRTH: I married the devil himself: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Ethan's POV I stepped out of the room as I headed to my car, I still couldn't stop thinking of that lady."Eva" I mumbled her name. There was something about her that made me unable to stop thinking about her. A faint breath left me, almost resembling a laugh, though it lacked any real humor, my hand slipping into my pocket as I pulled out my phone, the screen lighting up instantly beneath my thumb.It was strange, annoying, even. The way she acted was both strange and different. She was unlike any lady I had come across. There was no desperation in her eyes, no fake charm, no subtle attempts to draw attention. She hadn’t tried to impress me, hadn’t softened her voice or shifted her posture to fit whatever she thought I might respond to.If anything, he had done the opposite. And that was exactly the problem. She didn't bat her eyes at me seductively like every other girl I had met. She didn't try to impress me. She didn't even look scared or hesitate to get close to me.I tapped my

 Ethan's POV  I leaned back, I couldn't help but to be bothered by what grandma had just said. I couldn't take over as he head of the country without listening to her. A faint sound broke through my thoughts and I realized it was the news station. I hadn’t turned it on. Which meant... Of course. I pushed myself up without thinking, crossing the room in a few slow steps before reaching for the remote resting on the console, the screen brightening fully as the volume came up just enough to catch the words mid-sentence. “…developing story involving the Clark family—” I stopped on hearing that familiar surname. “…reports indicate that Livia Clark, daughter of the Clark Group, was found in a compromising situation late last night…” I watched in silence, my expression unreadable as the foota

Eva's POV To say I was disappointed was an understatement. Nora was my best friend. I had trusted her with everything and she had not only worked with my sister to betray me but also embezzled funds from the NGO we built together.“Nora…” The name lingered in my mind. Every trust I had for her was gone. I couldn't help but think back to when an old friend warned n about her. A faint frown touched my lips as the memory surfaced.“You trust her too much.”His voice had been firm that day, not accusatory, not harsh, just certain in a way that had irritated me at the time.“She’s my friend.” I had defended her without hesitation, without question. “We started this together.”“And that’s exactly why you should be careful.” He hadn’t backed down, his gaze steady as he looked at me. “People change when money gets involved.”I had brushed it off and laughed it away. Told him he was overthinking it. Now I realized that I was wrong. I moved toward the window, my arms crossing loosely as I loo

Eva's POV I didn’t leave her immediately. Even after she insisted she was fine, even after she reassured me twice that she knew where she was going and didn’t need help, I still stood there for a moment longer than necessary, my gaze following her as she walked away, her steps small but steady, her figure slowly blending into the evening crowd.Only when she turned the corner and disappeared from sight did I finally let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding.Then I turned back towards my car. By the time I got back behind the wheel, the earlier tension had settled into something quieter. I felt better and more at ease but I couldn't stop thinking about him.Justin.The name sat differently now. It was not just as a memory. It wasn't just as someone I used to know. But as someone I should have listened to. I remembered bitterly all those times he warned me like he had seen the future but I cut him off because he wasn't in favour of my relationship with NoraThe drive to the caf

Eva's POV The message came just as I stepped out of the hospital. My phone buzzed once in my hand, the screen lighting up with a new notification, and I didn’t need to guess who it was this time.It was Ethan, of course. For a moment, I just looked at it, my thumb hovering slightly above the screen before I unlocked it, my gaze settling on the message. It was an address and nothing else.I frowned slightly, my brows drawing together as I tapped on it, the map loading almost instantly, the small pin dropping into place with quiet precision.It was a club. I blinked once, then again. Because that wasn’t what I expected.A faint breath left me as I stared at the screen a second longer, my mind already shifting, because if there was one thing I had learned about him so far, it was that nothing he did was without purpose.Still... A club?“You don’t waste time,” I murmured under my breath.By the time I got home, I already made the decision. If he wanted a meeting, then I would show up pr
