บททั้งหมดของ Reborn to Rule: Her Dark Vengeance : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

A long, suffocating silence hung heavy inside the office. It took several seconds for my mind to process Uncle Elias’s words. "Wait... what?!" I gasped, my voice barely above a whisper as the shock finally hit me. "Our family isn't just a high-society business empire? We're the founders of a global syndicate?! And Grandfather was the leader of it all?!" My head spun, the weight of the revelation crashing over me like a tidal wave. How on earth did I know nothing about this in my past life? If I had known the true extent of my family's legacy back then, maybe I wouldn't have been so terrified of facing those traitors. Regret wouldn't change the past, but the battlefield was entirely different now. The enemies I was facing in this life were far more dangerous than I had ever imagined. A gentle touch on my shoulder pulled me out of my spiraling thoughts. I looked up to see Drake standing close beside me. "Stop overthinking, kitten," Drake murmured, his deep voice dropping into a s

At the very moment I heard him, everything inside me snapped. All my calculated plans, my dark revenge schemes, that damn agreement—I wanted to throw them all to the wind! I didn't care about anything else anymore. I just wanted him."Drake... take me then," I breathed, my eyes burning with raw, unfiltered emotion. "I want you. Right now."For a few agonizing seconds, we locked eyes. Then, he shattered the remaining distance between us, crashing his lips onto mine in a fierce kiss, so intensely possessive that it took my breath away. His body was burning up—a volcano ready to erupt. Our hands moved wildly, tugging at clothes, desperate to tear away every barrier between us. He was going to take me. I was completely sure of it.Then, against my lips, he whispered words so soft I almost missed them: "I'm sorry..."Before my brain could process what was happening, Drake abruptly pulled away, turned on his heel, and rushed out of the room.SLAM!I stood frozen in the center of the bedroo

The moment Drake stopped talking, I felt the unmistakable heat of his body pressing flush against mine.A wave of intense shyness crashed over me, but underneath the embarrassment, I craved every single inch of his touch. I looked up into his eyes, reading the fierce, possessive jealousy burning in their depths. He was territorial to a fault—and I loved every bit of it. The quiet joy settling deep within my heart was proof that I was no longer fighting my own feelings.Drake leaned down, his lips tracing a fiery path down my jawline, marking my skin with feverish bites and deep, lingering kisses. His touch was demanding, almost aggressive, but it only fueled the fire in my veins. This time, I didn't care about the consequences or the tangled mess of my past. I just wanted to lose myself in him.So after everything, I still fell for my frenemy? I thought, a breathless laugh threatening to escape. What a wild twist."What are you thinking about, kitten?" Drake’s low, dangerous voice int

This was the morning that marked the beginning of my new life—no longer as a helpless victim, but as a future leader within a world-shaping syndicate.I followed Uncle Elias and Drake deep into the subterranean levels of the Mercer estate. When the heavy blast doors slid open, I froze.The air inside the underground command room was bitterly cold. Floor-to-ceiling glass screens displayed live satellite tracking, financial streams, private intelligence dossiers, and security feeds spanning three continents. Profiles of elite figures who had crossed the Mercer Syndicate floated across digital displays alongside maps of hidden offshore assets.Uncle Elias stood beside the central tactical table, his arms crossed over his chest, while Drake paced behind me like a silent shadow."The leader of the Mercer Syndicate doesn't just sign documents, Aurelia," Elias said, his voice deep and steady. "You must learn to read a situation in seconds, anticipate assassination attempts, and seize an enem

The applause inside the grand hall slowly subsided as Chloe stood at the velvet podium, adjusting the microphone with a triumphant smile.Off to the side, Uncle Elias retreated to the tactical van to ensure our broadcast signal remained unblocked, while Drake discretely signaled his elite security detail to lock down every exit. No one was getting out until this show was over."She's really basking in the glory, isn't she?" Vivian whispered with a quiet chuckle, standing beside me with a glass of champagne. "Let's see if she can keep that arrogant smile by the time we're finished."I turned to Mrs. Smith. "It's time. Unseal my mother's original film archives.""With pleasure, my dear," Mrs. Smith replied, her fingers tapping a remote interface on her tablet. "Let's watch the real master at work."At the podium, Chloe leaned forward, speaking into the microphone with exaggerated grace, completely oblivious to the fact that her private basement tape was already broadcasting live to mill
