he muttered, retreating a step, eyes darting away. Melissa's mother saw that being forceful wasn't working and switched to pleading again. Sitting on the floor, she slapped her thigh and wailed. "Oh, Lord. What sin have we committed? Paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation will kill us! Lauren, please lend us some money. You bought a drone for 28 thousand dollars. You must be pretty wealthy!" "Security, take them away." I kept my phone, not bothering to spare them another glance. "If they ever set foot in this company again, call the police immediately."

Chapter 18 Jessica Hemsworth I just silenced it and turned away, too drained to deal with whatever tantrum was waiting on the other end. I needed peace. Just a hot shower. A warm bed. Silence. By the time we left the suite and returned to the car, Mr. Hall didn't say much. And honestly, I was grateful. The ride back was a quiet one, save for the soft hum of the engine and the occasional ping of my phone I refused to check.

He was lifting his fist for another blow when I grabbed his arm. "Let it go, Nate." With this second chance at life, all I wanted was to properly make up for my poor son. As for Judy, I'd deal with her eventually—but there was no rush. That night, we completed the transfer to another hospital. While packing up in the hospital room, I overheard whispers from behind the curtain next door. My sister tried to lower her voice, but her excitement was impossible to hide. "I've been reborn. My son, Phillip, will become a big boss in the future."

A woman who I never knew was out to wreck my life. Was this real? I have to pinch myself to make sure that I'm not dreaming. I remember Damien's sharp claws and the feeling of them piercing my gut. I remember the burn of rejection and the way my heart shattered at their betrayal. How come I was… A small, insane smile creeps over my face as I realize. This was the moon goddess’s doing. She was the mother of mates and the bonds they shared. Perhaps my horrific death had made her grant me this second chance.

He stood on the top of a tower he knew by the solid structure, wasn't susceptible to the sonic effect. With his mind, and hand motions, he controlled the power of the sonic with his eyes closed. He trapped the effects within the borders of V Empire premises, directed the movement of the sonic effects, and told it whom to kill and who not to, what to destroy and what not to. The trees stopped moving, and all KR members and wolves were unharmed, but V Empire and everything related to them got destroyed. The vampires in the tower burst at the soun

Despite rejection, the bond between them would linger for a while before getting stale, and it would only get stale if they refused to have any form of sexual relationship. This was done by the moon goddess, so that rejected mates who found themselves falling in love again could have a chance at a redo. But he wasn't one for that, he was never letting her rejection swing by like it never happened. She had rejected him and acted so nonchalant after the rebuff, he just wasn't going to forget about her dismissal and act like all was well between them. He heard his wolf growl at his thought in opposition, he ignored him and mindlinked his beta instead.

" Cindy's familiar words reached my ears, but before I could even react, blinding headlights came rushing at me. The engine roared—pain tore through my body as the car slammed into me. That was when it hit me—I'd been reborn at the exact moment she ran me over. Somehow, my shattered phone had dialed my boyfriend, Jared Xanderson. His cold, disgusted voice came through the speaker, "Stop calling me, Suzanna. I know you're just jealous of me and Cindy. That's why you're trying to come between us. "It's impossible for her to run you with her car. It's worth tens of millions—she wouldn't wreck it just to run you over. I'm done believing in you, no matter what you say this time!"

The silk soaked up most of the stain, and what was left was a dim mark, blending into the fabric—hardly noticeable without direct lighting. I sighed in relief, grateful to the stranger—but I refused to be distracted. I made my way back to the gala. They took my legacy, my life, and worst of all, the life of my unborn baby. It would take more than a spilled drink to deter me from executing my revenge. I stepped back into the hall with my head held high. My re-entry was less grand than my initial appearance, but I was unfazed as I scanned the room for signs of Walter. Finally, my eyes settled on him—surrounded by other CEOs, already deep in discussion with my father.

I patted his back gently, soothing him as if comforting a child. "Don’t ever do something so dangerous by yourself again," he murmured, his voice thick with emotion. "When I saw you in that man’s hands, I thought my heart would stop." "I had a backup plan, didn’t I?" I replied, playfully dangling the modified necklace in front of him. It had a tiny tracking device inside, ensuring that Liam could locate me even without a phone. He took the necklace and slowly pocketed it, a hint of stubbornness in his tone. "Next time, don’t bring this. Bring me."

"Then let's make sure to be happy." With a smile, he lifted my hand as we stepped up onto the porch. Opening the door, we found Mia’s laptop open, her fingers flying across the keyboard as Catherine dictated beside her. "So, Chairman Smith's health issues led to his son taking over suddenly, and now there are problems," Mia said, her fingers tapping quickly. I exchanged a puzzled look with Amory as Mia continued. "What if we frame it as, ‘Do you really want that to happen again?’" Mia suggested.
