All Chapters of Reborn To The Cold Billionaire : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

present day The crystal chandeliers glittered in the lights causing the ballroom to shine like ice. People dressed in the most expensive outfits gathered around the room. The gala was nothing more than an exhibition of wealth and status. A playground where billionaires traded favors for multi million dollar deals that were sealed with a single toast. Everything looked glamorous and anyone would want all this and the attention. They would feel special. But to Cassandra King, all this felt like a cage. For twenty three years, her father, Arthur King had kept her shielded from the public eye. She was the pristine untouchable daughter of the biggest, well known shipping tycoon in the country and abroad. She had been kept away from the eyes of the business world and the underworld while being trained to one day control everything her father owned but for now she was restricted and kept at arms length. Tonight was the first time she would be appearing in society. Dressed in an etherea

The afternoon sun hung low over the garden, casting a warm golden glow across the neatly trimmed hedges and flower beds. Arthur King sat beneath the shade of a large tree, a cup of untouched coffee resting on the small table beside him. He wasn't paying much attention to it. Madvick, his right hand, stood a few feet away, his expression serious as he went through the information he had gathered. "There has been some suspicious movement from Russo," he said. Arthur's eyes narrowed. "Russo?" Madvick nodded. "He's been seen getting involved with your business partners. Nothing obvious yet, but we've noticed a pattern." Arthur's expression hardened. That was enough to concern him. Russo was not a man who made careless moves. He was patient, calculating, and extremely dangerous. If he wanted something, he rarely went after it directly. He preferred to weaken his enemies first. He would find their connections, their weaknesses, their allies, and slowly tear everything apart unti

Xavier's POV I was in my office when one of my men came to me. “Sir, Cassandra King left the house.” My attention immediately shifted from the papers in front of me. “Where?” “They're heading to a bar downtown. Her friend , Stacy, is with her.” For a moment, I said nothing. I had no reason to care, her father had security. She had Stacy. She was surrounded by people who could protect her. I should have let her go. Instead, I stood. “Get the car ready.” My man didn't question me. He knew better. I told myself I was only going because something about Arthur's situation had been bothering me. There had been suspicious movements around his business, and I didn't trust the timing. That was the excuse I gave myself, but the truth was much simpler. Cassandra was out there and I needed to know she was safe. By the time I arrived at the bar, my patience was already wearing thin. I remained inside the car for a moment, watching the entrance. One of my men approached the window

Xavier's POV I sat behind my desk, staring at the reports spread across the polished surface. My office was quiet except for the occasional turn of a page and the low voices of the men standing in front of me. I preferred it that way. Silence made it easier to think and lately, I needed all the clarity I could get. "How did the meeting go?" I asked. "Everything went according to plan," one of my men replied. "The shipment has already been moved." "Good." I picked up another file. "And the situation at the southern docks?" "Handled." I nodded. One problem after another. That was my life. There was always something that needed to be handled. Someone who needed to be reminded of their place. A deal that needed to be secured. A man who thought he could take what belonged to me. I had long ago stopped questioning it. This was the world I had built. A knock sounded against the door. One of my men entered. "Boss." I looked up. "What is it?" He hesitated

Xavier didn't wait for the chaos to settle.He grabbed Cassandra and pulled her through the crowd, moving quickly toward the opposite side of the mall.People were screaming and running in every direction. Security guards shouted orders, while shoppers pushed past one another, desperate to get away.Cassandra could barely keep up."Xavier—""Keep moving."His voice was sharp.She looked at him.For the first time since she had met him, Xavier didn't look cold or untouchable.He looked panicked.His eyes kept moving around them, searching every corner, every doorway, every person who came too close.He looked terrified.Cassandra didn't understand it.Why was he so worried about her?....why was he suddenly acting like keeping her alive was the most important thing in the world?She didn't have time to think about it.They needed to get out.They hurried through another corridor until Xavier spotted an emergency exit."There."He pushed the door open and guided her outside.A black car
