All Chapters of Reborn To Reclaim (A Reverse Harem Story): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Aaron’s POV This certainly wasn’t what I was expecting to see when Caleb and I cut our cleanup short just to speak with Darren regarding some urgent company affairs. The moment we stopped in front of my door, Caleb’s phone had rung, and that single call altered our direction back toward the room we knew Darren would take Evelyn to. Caleb chuckled beside me before I even laid eyes on the delicate piece of lingerie. “Whoever bought that definitely has exceptional taste,” I called out from behind, leaning casually against the doorframe as I waited for Evelyn to turn around. “Can you not tease Lyn?” Caleb murmured with yet another laugh from beside me, and I rolled my eyes at him. “It’s a pretty piece, isn’t it?” Evelyn finally said, snatching the item from Darren’s hand and standing up. An unmistakable smile played on her lips as she looked at us. “It’s not really my usual style, but I’m trying out new things.” The confidence in her voice made my lips curve even further. I had tho

Gale’s office was my first destination the moment I drove away from the Blackwood estate. Spending the night in their home had gone far smoother than I had anticipated, and I couldn't help but feel a quiet sense of relief.After dinner, we had lingered in the living area for a while, chatting casually before everyone retired to their respective quarters. That was the last time I saw them until this morning. Before I left, Darren handed me the revised contract, assuring me that everything was perfect, while Caleb gently warned me not to be discouraged if Gale’s company managed to regain its footing in the coming days.Deep down, I already knew a single media scandal wasn't enough to destroy him overnight. I fully expected him to try clawing his way back to where he started.Refusing a private driver, I slipped behind the wheel of the car they provided and took off. I needed to do this alone. Whatever makeshift solution Gale had concocted overnight, I wanted to hear it directly from hi

It had been three days since Caleb sent me that message. Three days filled with non-stop agonizing over whether the location was purely a coincidence. While it wasn't certain that my son had actually been moved to the facility near the resort, the fact that the name had come up twice was far too suspicious to ignore. I sat in the living room, my eyes fixed on the television screen as Gale practically preened over the news of his company's new investment, which was being publicized everywhere. His team was keeping the identity of the backing firm under wraps for now, and even Gale was doing a surprisingly good job of keeping his mouth shut. I still had no idea who could possibly be foolish enough to invest in someone like him. I hadn't seen any of the Blackwood partners since my last night at their mansion, and the text I had sent my mother was still sitting there unanswered. But above all the mounting issues, I was still holding onto the sole joy that the document had been signe

I regretted the way I spoke to Darren the moment I left their presence. I had no idea what had come over me or what sense of entitlement made me act as if they owed me an explanation for their actions or whereabouts. That was the precise reason I had walked away—because even if my head knew it wasn’t logical, I felt a strange, nagging sense of betrayal. I had wanted to ask why Aaron pulled Gale aside as well, but my emotional outburst had ruined that opportunity too. Wearing a faint frown, I approached the pool where Chloe was already lounging on a bench. As much as I didn’t want to sit with her, avoiding the situation wasn't really an option. “I thought you’d be in the pool already,” I said, trying to sound as unbothered as possible. “Well, we haven’t checked into the room yet, so I haven’t been able to change into my swimsuit. Watching the crowd will have to do for now,” she replied, her eyes sweeping over the bustling pool. I gave a short nod and didn't bother adding anything

DARREN’S POVI watched, totally unconvinced, as Evelyn sat on the sofa. I couldn’t say I knew her well enough yet, but I was certain that she had come here because something had happened. The Evelyn I had come to know didn’t just change her mind for no reason, and she certainly wouldn’t do anything that could draw suspicion.Coming all the way over to our building while Gale was in the same vicinity was a risk I knew she wouldn’t take unless it was necessary. As relieved as I was that she wasn’t mad at us anymore, the worry that replaced that relief wasn’t much better.“Are you staying here till morning, Lyn?” Caleb asked, breaking my train of thought. “I don’t think that’ll be safe with you-know-who,” he added, and I watched as Evelyn laughed quietly.“I’ll be here till morning. He isn’t even in the room, so I have nothing to worry about,” she replied, giving us yet another perfect smile.Her words were completely devoid of malice or pain as she mentioned Gale. If I didn’t know bette
