All Chapters of Reborn: I Married His Nemesis : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

ALICE Cherry said something to my mom in a quiet tone. My mom stopped trying to talk to the officers, lowered her gaze, and turned around to walk away. From where I was standing, I could see how much my mom was hurting inside. She was trying her best to hold herself together, but seeing her in that weak state broke what was left of my heart. I knew how hard she had struggled to build her life back up, and now everything was crashing down just because Dominic and his family wanted to get back at me. I watched as Cherry assisted my mom into a cab she had flagged down. They got inside, and the car pulled away. The police officers finished taping up the doors and left shortly after. The ache in my chest grew worse than before. I did not know what to feel at that moment, anger or deep sadness. I had tried so hard to pull myself together ever since I was reborn. I had tried to convince myself that I had to be strong so no one would ever be able to break me. But standing on the empty si

DEVON The look on Alice's face was unexpected. It was obvious that she was surprised by my words, but beneath that, I could tell she was also shaken by how close she had come to making a huge mistake in that locker room. She had not expected me to find the guy who made the post so fast, but no one stays hidden for long when Alma starts tracking digital footprints. "I did some checks and gave the data to a friend of mine to find him," I explained, shoving my hands into my jacket pockets as I stood tall in front of her. "She was able to track down the guy, and the police are questioning him right now to find out who paid him." Alice lowered her gaze to the pavement, taking a quiet breath. "Thank goodness," she mumbled. When she looked back up at me, her eyes were filled with tears, but her chin stayed lifted. "I did not know you were working on it." "That is because you keep trying to do everything by yourself," I told her, keeping my tone firm so she understood the reality of

DEVONAfter we were done eating, I took the dishes off the counter and placed them in the sink for the housekeeper to find and clean later.But all through the process, I just couldn't get my eyes off Alice. I had been watching her all through when we were eating, wondering if the calm look on her face matched the feeling in her heart.I looked away when I realized I was starting to take her too seriously. It was one thing to feel how devastated she was about the situation with her mom's boutique and want to do all I could to help, but it was another thing to look at her like every time she's hurting, I am too.Deep within me, I didn't want to accept what was brewing in my chest, the fact that whenever we got close and I started to look into it, something happened to keep us busy and get our minds off anything relating to that. But that night at the pool and the moment I shared with her after that party were two memories I never wanted to get too busy to forget."I better head to my r

DEVONI lowered my head slightly to place a soft kiss on Alice's head as she sniffled softly against my chest. My heart ached at the sight and the fact that this had gotten to her so much that her usual pretense of being strong had become a difficult thing for her to do.I lifted my head as my gaze caught the sight of her mother as she slept peacefully on the hospital bed, her face still. The feeling that I needed to do something clawed at me. If Dominic tried to hurt her mother, it would break Alice completely. And if that pushed her into kneeling before him again, I would never allow it to happen."Are you okay?" I asked, looking down at her.Alice pulled away as though she had suddenly realized how close we were. She wiped her nose with the back of her hand and sniffled before turning her attention back to her mother. "I'm fine.""Alice, please don't stress yourself too much about what's going on," Cherry said in a soft voice as she stepped forward from her chair. "Your mom is goi

DEVONMy phone kept buzzing in my hand as I stared at Alice and her mother. They talked in an affectionate way that reminded me of my own family. It had been so long since I felt that kind of warmth, and I had almost forgotten what it felt like to care so much for someone.The only people I had in my corner were Alma and June. They were my family.The buzzing sound continued against my palm. I looked down at my phone screen, knowing fully well it would be Mac. He was probably calling to remind me that we had a major match against a team that traveled from out of state.I looked away from the screen, turning back to Alice and her mother before I stepped out to take the call."Mac, I'll be there in a few minutes," I said, pacing back and forth along the quiet hospital lobby. "I just had to stay with Alice and her mother for a while."Mac let out a long sigh through the speaker before he spoke. "Oh really? Now you are playing the husband role so well," he chuckled. "I know you have to be
