All Chapters of Reborn: I Married His Nemesis : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

ALICEThe strings of the violins hummed from the corner of the hall, filling the room with the exact soft melody I had imagined since I was a little girl. I moved down the aisle, stepping past rows of high floral arrangements and silk drapes that were supposed to make the room look like something out of a fairy tale. The heavy crystal lights overhead caught the sparkle in my gown as I made my way toward the raised platform. At the end of the carpet stood Dominic Steven. He looked perfect in his custom black suit, tailored down to the last inch. I wanted to feel that familiar flutter of excitement in my chest, the kind a bride is supposed to feel, but the elaborate setup just felt like a trap closing in on me.All around us, hands clapped and camera flashes cut through the air. I stepped up onto the platform to face Dominic. He smiled at me, a look that used to turn my knees to water back when I still believed it was real. But today, I saw right through it. His eyes widened slightly,

ALICEThe guys laughed again, but the sound barely reached my ears. A sharp pain spread through my chest, so intense that I had to press my palm against the cold wall to stop myself from collapsing right there on the floor. Tears burned hot behind my eyes, not just because Dominic had cheated on me or because Amber was pregnant with his child, but because for the first time in three years, I realized none of the things he had told me had ever been real. The love I had held onto for so long was nothing more than a trick he used to boost his popularity and mock me behind my back with his friends. Every smile he had ever given me, every promise he whispered in the dark, every single time he held my hand and told me he loved me were a lie. The entire future I had spent years building in my mind crumbled away in a second. I reached down, my fingers shaking, and pulled the ring off my finger.Staring at the sparkling piece of metal, more tears blurred my vision as the memory of the day D

DEVON My gaze lingered on her, the sudden confidence she tried to portray making me wonder if there was something deeper beneath it. It couldn’t just be that Dominic cheated on her. Not completely. That was never the surprising part. It was what men like him do when no one was watching.Still, Alice wasn’t acting like a woman whose heart had been broken. She was acting like someone who had already decided the exact ending of her story, and that made me curious to know more about her."So now that you're my wife," I said, leaning back slightly. She looked over in my direction, a flash of shock crossing her face. "Do you have the idea that you're going to be staying with me."Her eyes widened as if the reality of the situation had just hit her. "No. We don't have to live together or do anything like that."I arched an eyebrow at her, watching as she quickly shifted her gaze away from me. "Well, cupcake, that setup doesn't work for me. The whole city already knows we got married today,

ALICEThe cab stopped in front of Lin Wears, one of the most expensive boutiques in New York, owned by my mother. I glanced down at my phone screen to check the time before stepping out onto the sidewalk. Knowing my mother put her work above everything else, I knew she would be here. I shoved my phone into my bag and walked through the front doors into the lobby.The receptionist at the desk bowed her head slightly. "Good morning, Miss Brent," she said with a bright smile."Is my mother in?" I asked, not slowing down while I walked straight toward the elevator.She nodded, and I hit the button. My hands trembled slightly as I waited for the elevator to reach her floor. I could feel anxiety building in my chest.Taking a deep breath, I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. I told myself I was ready to face whatever she had to say. The moment Brea told me my mom had called her in the middle of the night, I knew she was sick with worry about me.The elevator doors chimed open. I s

DEVONThe guys huddled up in the locker room, pulling on their pads and getting into their hockey gear for practice. I sat on the wooden bench, tying my skates and ignoring the loud teasing from the rest of the team.Ever since I walked in, they had been talking about the wedding disaster. They were clearly using it to mock Dominic, who was sitting in the corner, completely silent."So... should I call you Mr. Husband now?" Mac asked with a grin, dropping onto the bench right next to me. "You still haven't told me how you pulled that off.""Keep talking and I'll make you skate extra laps." I said in a low voice, finally strapping my gloves tight. I stood up from the bench and headed toward the door. Mac followed right at my heels."Come on, are you really going to keep the details from me?" he asked, acting like I had broken his trust. "You still haven't said why you even married her. Man, she looked so desperate out there."I stopped dead in my tracks, turning around to stare directl
