All Chapters of Reborn To Reclaim (A Reverse Harem Story): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I sat on the cold floor, my eyes locked on the painting staring back at me. I wanted to believe this was a hallucination my dying mind created—a final illusion before death claimed me, tricking me into believing I had a second chance. But with every tick of the clock behind me, reality refused to change and the truth sank in. This wasn’t a game. I was back three years in the past. Three years before my murder. I stayed in that spot for nearly thirty minutes, my thoughts racing faster than my bleeding heart. Why was I given this chance? How was any of this possible? But after agonizing in memories of my final moments, I realized the why and how didn’t matter. Only the what. I forced myself up, using the wall to steady my trembling body. What I did with this second chance was all that mattered. I knew how the story ended, and I’d never let history repeat itself. I had begged for another chance, bled for one, and now it was mine. I couldn’t waste time moping—not when my real ch

I didn’t bother going to the main boardroom to look for Gale. After saving the displayed contact and staring at the screen for close to a minute, I turned on my heel and headed straight back to his office. I had seen enough for one day, and I had just stumbled upon a lead that might finally bring me to my son. If everything kept moving this smoothly, I would be free from this living nightmare much sooner than expected. I hadn’t been back in the office for more than a few minutes when the door opened and Gale walked in, holding a stack of folders. “How did your meeting go?” I asked casually as he pulled his chair out and sat down. “Pretty well. I selected an investor like I was supposed to, even if it wasn’t the candidate everyone assumed I’d pick,” he replied with a smug smirk. “Are you talking about the three men you turned down?” I asked, keeping my tone light and unbothered. He raised an eyebrow. “You heard about that already?” “I overheard the secretaries talking about it

It had been too easy. That thought refused to leave my mind as I stepped out of the boardroom. Men like Darren Blackwood didn’t build empires by trusting strangers after a single conversation. They should have questioned me harder. Tested me. Made me earn a seat at their table. Instead, they had accepted my proposal with unsettling ease. I knew the deal was profitable to them, but for men as huge as they were, I expected some kind of egoistic play and delay before agreeing. Just like Gale treated his clients. Or had living with someone of his kind blinded me to the workings of normal people who had nothing to hide? Regardless, as long as I could find my son, I didn't care what their intentions were anymore. The curiosity I had seen in their eyes was probably nothing more than disbelief. After all, it wasn’t every day a wife willingly walked into her husband’s rival’s company and offered to help destroy him. “I see your information was useful to my bosses, Evelyn,” the secre

Darren’s POVI watched keenly as Caleb and Aaron spread the documents Evelyn had forwarded to us over the kitchen table while we waited for her to arrive. The files Evelyn had sent should have been my only concern. Instead, my mind kept drifting back to the phone call from the previous night.She had thanked me.Not for agreeing to help her but for saving her.Those were two very different things. The question was… what exactly had I saved her from?But I suppose it shouldn’t concern me right now—we were just getting acquainted.“Do you guys have to do this here?” I muttered lowly, turning my head toward them. “We have a well-furnished meeting room in this house, so why...” I eyed the kitchen again. “Why hold it here?”“Caleb said it would make Evelyn more comfortable,” Aaron answered with a quiet chuckle. “According to him, a formal boardroom meeting would make the situation feel even more daunting.”“Lyn has been deceived and her name used for a crime she knows nothing about,” Caleb

“I don’t hate him,” I called out, lying through my teeth as I looked at Caleb. “Which woman would dare hate her husband?” I added, finally averting my gaze. “You don’t have to pretend here, Lyn,” he breathed beside me. “From the little I know about your situation, it makes more than enough sense for you to detest his guts.” “You could feel like killing him right now and that much would be completely justified,” Aaron chimed in from behind the island, and I immediately whipped my head around to face him. “Doing that would mean stooping to his level,” I choked out. I was about to turn my attention back to Caleb when— “Stooping to his level?” Darren called out, his voice so low and commanding I almost missed it. “Does this mean that man Gale has killed someone before?” he asked, a single dark brow raised. I instantly shook my head. “He hasn’t...” I rushed out before whispering the rest to myself: At least not yet. “Can you guys stop interrupting my hangout with Lyn?” Caleb called
