บททั้งหมดของ Reborn to Rule: Her Dark Vengeance : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

The heavy rain hitting the ceiling of the abandoned warehouse seemed to accompany my feelings of regret, remorse, and the cold realization spreading throughout my body—or was that coldness just from the blood slowly draining from me? I couldn't feel my legs anymore. "Could she still be breathing?" Jacob said. A voice echoed faintly in the darkness. That was the voice I had cherished and loved for five years—gentle, calm, and filled with beautiful promises of our future. Jacob. Jacob Alonzo was the only man I had loved and trusted with my life. He was the one who always supported my dreams, the one who had always come to my rescue whenever I was oppressed. Jacob was the light in my dark life. But now he was the executioner destroying it; all those promises, love, and devotion were a lie. I was so stupid! I was such a fool! I forced my blood-crusted eyelids open. Through blurry, red-tinted vision, I saw him standing under a black umbrella. Beside him was Chloe Gomez, my half

The luxurious tea house in the financial district served as a meeting place for the business world's elite and high-ranking officials to seal discreet deals. It was an exclusive venue adorned with opulent antiques, where soft classical music played in the background to ensure that sensitive conversations remained strictly private. I sat near the floor-to-ceiling glass wall, sipping a special rose-white tea. Resting on the classic antique table was the leather binder containing the document I had prepared just an hour earlier. Right on schedule, the double glass doors opened, and Jacob walked in. He was wearing an expensive, elegantly tailored navy suit—purchased with the bribe money my father had given him as a "performance bonus" to keep tabs on me. Handsome and gentle, with striking hazel eyes that had once made my young heart race, he truly looked the part of a loving, devoted boyfriend. The moment his gaze locked onto mine, a look of relief briefly flickered across his face be

An hour later, we were cruising inside my uncle's tinted luxury car. Drake occupied the front passenger seat while I sat in the back. I gazed out the window in confusion as the city skyline faded away, replaced by dense greenery. We were heading deep into a remote forested area. "Uncle, where are we going? It looks like we're heading into the middle of nowhere," I asked. "Just relax, Kitten. We aren't going to sell you off," Drake teased from the front, glancing at me through the rearview mirror. I rolled my eyes and looked away. "You'll find out soon enough, Aurelia. We'll be there in five minutes," Elias assured me. I closed my eyes to avoid Drake's persistent gaze in the mirror. His intense, dark eyes looked at me like a hunter who had been patiently tracking his prey for years. A peculiar warmth spread through my chest, making my heart beat unnaturally fast. "We're here," Elias announced as the car came to a stop. Opening the car door, my eyes widened in astonishment. Righ

Drake wasn't about to settle for my silence. Slipping his hand under my clothes, he pressed closer, sending a surge of heat straight through me. My mind raced into complete chaos. Why wasn't I pushing him away?"Jesus—Drake, stop! Shit!" I gasped, my chest heaving as his movements grew faster and more demanding."Relax, kitten," he growled, his voice thick with a dark, restless hunger. "Just let me take care of you."If I didn't shut this down now, there was no way I'd be leaving this room before morning. Forcing down the panic, I dragged a shallow breath into my lungs and caught my grip on reality. Force wouldn't work on him; I had to use something else.I reached up and took his face in both of my hands, forcing him to look directly at me."Drake, look at me," I said, my eyes locking onto his with absolute honesty. "I want you. I really do. But not like this. Not as some secret distraction from Jacob, and not until I am completely free."He froze. Frustration flickered across his da

The moment Drake stepped inside the dining room, his presence completely dominated the space.David's face contorted into a mask of pure rage. Refusing to swallow his pride as the head of the Mendez family, he puffed out his chest, trying to act imposing as he demanded to know who allowed an outsider to interfere."Who the hell do you think you are?!" David barked, his voice dripping with arrogance. "Who gave you the right to barge into our family affairs? A nobody little lawyer thinks he can come into my home and control me?!"Drake didn't even grant David a glance. Completely ignoring his outburst, he stepped directly between David and me, shielding me from his sight."Are you okay?" Drake asked, his deep voice dropping into a soft, steady cadence that instantly grounded me."Don't worry, I'm fine here now. Let me handle the rest."From across the table, Chloe let out a sharp, mocking laugh, her innocent facade replaced by a condescending sneer. "So... looks like you found yourself
