Reborn: Married to Your Greatest Enemy
“If I touch you tonight, don't mistake it for anything else, it’s because I’m a hot-blooded man taking exactly what he wants. I will burn you so hard I'll ruin you for any other man.” His deep, gravelly voice dropped into a rough growl that sent a shiver straight down my spine.
*****
Raya Sinclair wakes up in her old bedroom, gasping for air and clutching a throat that should be full of blood.
Just moments ago, she was trapped in a mangled car, listening to her sister and her fiancé plan her murder over speakerphone while her adoptive mother used her dying hands to ink a fingerprint onto a fraud confession. She gave all her life to the Sinclair dynasty, only to be butchered like an outsider.
Except… death didn't take. Raya has just been reborn fourteen months into the past.
They think she is still the naive, blind shield they can use to protect their dirty corporate secrets. They have no idea she remembers every single detail of her murder or that she is about to strip them of everything they love.
But to watch the Sinclairs burn, Raya needs a monster on her side.
Xavier Locke.
He is the city's most ruthless, untouchable billionaire, a dangerous predator with a jawline that could kill, and the only man her family genuinely fears.
With revenge in mind, Raya goes to the dominant CEO.
Raya thinks she can handle a temporary arrangement to bleed her family dry.
Except Xavier isn't playing savior. He’s the devil himself, he’s completely obsessed, and he's determined to make her his in every single way.

Chapter: Chapter 5: The Night in the PenthouseRAYAThe smoke was thick, burning the back of my throat. I was four years old again, running through the blazing hallways and my mother’s voice screaming for me to never look back. Then the dream shifted, and suddenly I was dying on that dark, rainy road in my first life, with Xavier’s voice echoing in my ears.I woke up gasping, my heart hammering against my ribs.I sat up in the massive, unfamiliar bed of Xavier's guest room, covered in a cold sweat. My throat felt too dry. The clock on the nightstand read that it was three in the morning.Realizing I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep, I wrapped my silk robe tightly around myself and quietly left the room, heading down the dimly lit hallway to the kitchen to get a glass of water.I stopped at the entrance.Xavier was there. He had clearly just gotten home. His suit jacket was gone, his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and the top buttons of his white shirt were undone. He was leaning against the counter, downing a glas

Chapter: Chapter 4: The Overnight DetonationRAYAIn the dim booth of The Blackout, I took the heavy black pen from Xavier’s hand. My fingers trembled slightly, but my signature on the crisp white paper was bold and permanent.There was no turning back.Xavier took the contract back, his dark eyes lingering on my name next to his. He didn't offer a gentle smile or a soft word, but the intense, possessive gaze he leveled at me felt heavier than any vow."My driver and my security detail are waiting at the back entrance," Xavier said, his rough baritone cutting through the low hum of the club. He folded the document and slid it into his breast pocket. "They will take you to the Sinclair estate to pack your things. You are moving into my penthouse tonight."I swallowed hard, looking at him. "Tonight? But—""I don't leave what belongs to me under a roof full of parasites," he interrupted flatly. He stood up, his massive frame casting a long shadow over the table. "I have to finish my meeting here. Go. My men will ensure nobody

Chapter: Chapter 3: The Proposal in the OfficeRAYAXavier didn't say another word to me in the ballroom. He simply turned and walked toward a private set of double doors at the back.I had to hurry just to keep up with his long strides. The moment we stepped through, two massive security guards closed the doors behind us, completely cutting off the noise of the crowd.The hallway was dimly lit and quiet, leading straight into his private office.The heavy door clicked shut behind me.Before I could even take a breath, Xavier turned. In one swift movement, he crossed the room. His massive frame loomed over me, backing me up until the heels of my shoes hit the wall. He didn't touch me, but he stood so close I could feel the heat radiating off his chest. His dark eyes locked onto mine."You called my private number," Xavier said, his voice a low, rough baritone. "You skipped your shop, ran fifteen minutes late, and now you're standing in my office. What do you want, Raya?"My heart was hammering against my ribs, the sheer siz

Chapter: Chapter 2: The Cold AwakeningRAYAA violent gasp tore out of my throat as my eyes flew open.My chest burned. My skin felt drenched in freezing water. I could still hear the terrifying screech of metal, the heavy thud of the truck hitting my car, and Margaret's voice on the speakerphone telling the hitman to take my fingerprint.Prison would have been much better than this. But you were always too stubborn.I scrambled backward, my hands clawing at the sheets beneath me. I expected to feel the cold pavement and broken glass.Instead, my fingers sank into soft, expensive silk.I stopped breathing. The room around me was dead silent. There was no rain or flashing ambulance lights. I was sitting in the middle of a massive queen-sized bed.I was in my old bedroom at the Sinclair estate."No," I whispered, my voice trembling as I grabbed my face, then my neck, then my legs but everything was intact. My heart was hammering so hard against my ribs I thought it would crack them.With shaking fingers, I snatched

Chapter: Chapter 1: The Last Perfect DayRAYA"Dylan is going to lose his mind," Vivienne said, carefully adjusting the heavy lace train. "Absolutely lose it!"I smiled at my reflection in the three-way mirror. A flush rose to my cheeks as I looked at myself in the wedding dress. It was perfect. The silk hugged my waist exactly right, flowing out into a breathtaking, royal train. I could already picture Dylan standing at the end of the altar, looking at me with that intense, devoted stare he had given me for the last seven years."Do you think it’s too soon to get the dress? The wedding is still months away," I asked. I bit my lip nervously. "Do I seem too eager? Or too desperate?""Nonsense, darling," Vivienne said, patting my shoulder. "We need to be prepared. It is going to be the wedding of the century. Everything needs to be perfect, and perfection needs time."I breathed out a sigh of relief. Dylan and I were that couple. The one people pointed at in crowded rooms. Loving him was as natural to me as breathing. I wa
