REBORN TO BE A BILLIONAIRE
Serena Vale gave everything to her husband; her loyalty, her dreams and the best years of her life. In return, Adrian Laurent betrayed her, discarded her, and left her to die the moment she became inconvenient—or so she thought. But Serena survived.
Four years later, she returns as Selene Arden, a mysterious billionaire with beauty, power, and influence beyond Adrian’s reach. While he struggles to save the empire he built, the woman he once humiliated now stands among the elite he could never compete with. As buried secrets begin to surface, Adrian confirms Serena’s death was never an accident. And the woman he humiliated may be the only person capable of destroying him.

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTY-FOURSELENE'S POVThe security alert came through few minutes to mid-day. It was not an unauthorized access attempt. It was a visitor flag from the Arden Tower lobby, routed to my personal security feed rather than the standard corporate channel, which meant Floyd Quake had made a judgment call about who needed to see it before deciding what to do with it.I was in the middle of a call with some foreign partners when the notification popped on the tablet beside me. I glanced at it once, noted the name and felt the rest of the conversation recede to a significant distance.A woman, Ava Bennett is at lobby level. She’s requesting access, she states that she has information relevant to Arden Corporation’s current market interests. REFERRED BY INTERNAL CONTACT AT THE RECORDS DIVISION, CITY MUNICIPAL OFFICE.I kept my voice completely even for the remaining minutes of the call with the foreign partners. When it ended I picked up the tablet and looked at the notification again.Ava had found a

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTY-THREEAVA'S POVI couldn’t sleep that night. I sat at the small table in my rental apartment from the moment I got home until the grey light of early morning began pressing through the curtains. The Redwater Holdings document spread open in front of me alongside every page of my notebook that touched the same thread.The third director’s name I saw on that old note was Damien Laurent.It was listed clearly in the ownership section that every other copy I had ever found had blacked out. Like the thoroughness of people who understood exactly what they were hiding and had paid enough to hide it completely.Damien was Serena’s husband, Adrian, younger brother. I had heard Serena mention him maybe a dozen times across the years of her marriage, and each time in the same brief way. Once near the end, when she was already exhausted. “I don't know why but he makes me feel uneasy sometimes.” Those were Serena’s exact words to me one day. I had pushed it away the way I pushed things Serena said abou

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTY-TWOAVA'S POVI had spent the morning at the city records office going through land registry documents connected to the shell company, the same thread I had been pulling at for four years, and by early afternoon, I was already exhausted.My studio was three streets from the records office. I had found the space few months after arriving in the country, a cheap sublease through a contact.I unlocked the door and stepped inside.The smell hit me first the way it always did, linseed oil and turpentine and the dry-cold smell of a room that held large amounts of canvas. I exhaled slowly as my shoulders dropped half an inch. Then I stopped, I sighted the two chairs at the small table near the window.That was not what surprised me, I knew the chairs were there. But I kept them pushed together against the wall when I wasn't using them, a habit so ingrained I did it without thinking.But the chairs were not pushed together against the wall. They were positioned at opposite ends of the small tabl

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTY-ONEADRIAN'S POVI received her response four days after I sent the message. It was a single line text sent to the same personal number I had used. The message came on my phone at exactly six forty-one in the morning, I was already at my desk and the city outside was still deciding whether to be day or night.Ten in the morning on Sunday. Crestfield Lane, the third building from the eastern end. The door would be unlocked.I read it just once and dropped my phone.She hadn't asked for confirmation, she had given an address and a time with the confidence of someone who didn't expect to be questioned about either.I picked up my phone again and looked up Crestfield Lane online.It was a narrow street in the older residential quarter of the city, just twelve minutes ride from Laurent Group headquarters, the kind of street that existed in every old city. The buildings along it carrying the particular dignity of structures that had survived long enough to stop needing to prove itself. The thi

Chapter: CHAPTER FORTYSELENE’s POVI went to Leonard's residence at the end of the day, when the light outside had gone grey-gold of the early evening. His housekeeper had already set the table for one, which she adjusted without comment the moment I arrived.I found Leonard in the study, a glass of whiskey sat on the side table beside him, reading with focused attention on a tablet. He looked up when I entered and set the tablet down."You don't usually come at this hour.""I have something to tell you." I said as I took the chair across him he gestured toward me. "Adrian Laurent contacted me three nights ago," I said. "And we met privately."Leonard's hands resting against the arm of his chair, stayed still. His face held its usual composure, the particular stillness that had upset boardrooms and intimidated governments for decades.I had spent the last four years studying that stillness the way a student studied a difficult language, and I caught the precise half-second delay before he responded."Wher

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY-NINEADRIAN’s POVWords moved faster inside Laurent Group. By the time I walked into the boardroom, every seat at the long table was already filled, and the quality of silence that greeted me told me the conversation waiting for me was not going to be comfortable.I sat at the head of the table and let the silence stretch for a moment before anyone spoke.Rowan Wren, the longest-serving board member and the closest person Laurent Group had to an institutional conscience, broke it first."Adrian." He folded his hands on the table in front of him. "We need to understand the Calloway intervention.""I filed a competing interest claim," I said. "And that triggered an automatic suspension of Meridian Capital's acquisition.""We're aware of the mechanics," Wren said. "We need to understand the reasons behind your move."Of course, I had an explanation prepared for this kind of question, layered carefully enough to hold up under scrutiny without revealing the actual motivation underneath it.

WARNING: THIS BOOK MAY CONTAIN STEAMY AND EROTICA CONTENT WHICH IS HIGHLY PROHIBITED FOR KIDS UNDER +18.
“Do you eat pussy for a living,” I muttered between moans as his tongue rolled deeper into my pussy entrance, clearing out the last residue of orgasm like a pro. In a second, I could feel my inner muscles stretched down his shaft as he slid his huge cock into me again. I held his waist firmly with my two hands as he thrusted into me harder and groaned in pleasure.
“Fuck you Charles,” I mid-screamed as I remembered how my ex, Charles always told me my pussy dries up quickly. But, here I am still wet as fuck after my second orgasm.

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTEENXavier’s POVI had been in the middle of a sentence when I saw her. It was her eyes that made me almost stop mid-sentence.Her eyes were dark, expressive, the kind that carried whatever their owner was feeling whether she intended them to or not. But they had caught mine in that corridor with a directness that didn’t flinch, and something in the two seconds before she looked away had moved through my chest like a current finding a wire it hadn’t known was there.I moved through it quickly and kept walking but the current stayed. I sat through two hours of afternoon meetings and felt it the entire time, not in a way that showed, just present, the way a sound stays in a room slightly longer than the source of it. Her face kept surfacing with a persistence that had nothing polite about it. The way she held the clipboard against her chest like a shield she didn’t realize she was carrying. The exact moment her eyes had came back to mine before she looked away.I knew that feeling of almos

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURTEENAria’s POVThe Beaumont Group Tower was exactly the kind of building that made you straighten your posture without being told to.Forty-two floors of glass and steel rising above the financial district like what had decided the skyline needed restructuring and had simply gone ahead and done it. The lobby alone was made of marble floors, a reception desk that stretched the width of a small apartment, lighting that somehow managed to be both dramatic and tasteful without trying too hard. The category of people who worked here operated in a different level of existence from the one I was coming from.I signed in at the security desk in my navy blue dungaree work uniform with the company logo engraved almost invisible on the chest. I was directed to the facilities manager, a brisk woman named Helen who met me in the lobby with a laminated access schedule.“Quarterly service,” she confirmed, scanning the paperwork my cousin’s company had submitted. “You’ll start on the lower basement level

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTEENXavier’s POVI told myself, on the drive back to the penthouse that evening, that I was overthinking it.Resemblances happened. The world was full of people who shared the same jaw structures and eye shapes with strangers they had no connection with whatsoever, it was pure biology, the finite number of ways a human face could arrange itself across a global population. I had read somewhere once that every person on earth had at least seven people who shared their approximate facial architecture. The number made coincidence not just possible but statistically expected. I told myself all of this very clearly and rationally.I sat in my penthouse at eleven in the evening with a glass of scotch I hadn’t touched, staring at the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and my mind drifted to the little boy again. the way he tilted his head.I had a photograph on the shelf in my study, one of the few personal items I kept in the penthouse. It was a picture of my father taken when he was ar

Chapter: CHAPTER TWELVEXavier’s POVI came back from Thailand with several unread reports, a fourteen-hour time difference still sitting behind my eyes and the particular exhaustion of a man who had spent three weeks closing a deal that should have taken two while fielding daily calls from Kingsley Sinclair about a wedding timeline I had no interest in discussing from a different continent.The penthouse felt too quiet when I landed. Too organized, like a space maintained rather than lived in. I had a driver, a housekeeper who came twice a week, and a refrigerator that contained exactly the things my nutritionist had approved, but nothing I actually wanted to eat after a fourteen-hour flight.I stayed at the penthouse for two days before I decided to visit the estate. I hadn’t called ahead, I rarely did when I came to the estate, it was still my grandfather’s house more than any other definition and it was also the closest place to home since my father died. Calling ahead to your own home felt like a formal

Chapter: CHAPTER ELEVENAria’s POVI had forgotten what it felt like to wake up with a heavy heart of how to sort the next bill. Arthur had made life more easier for me and Bryan.It wasn’t a dramatic change, not the kind of transformation that comes overnight. It had crept in slowly over the weeks since that first hospital bill was sorted by Arthur, and the subsequent financial assistance, especially after the first visit to Arthur’s estate. The relief that came with it was a feeling I haven’t experienced in the last five years. Mornings still started the same way. The alarm at six-thirty. The scramble to get Bryan fed, dressed and out the door with his backpack and his lunch box and whatever stuffed animal he decided needed to accompany him to school that particular week. “Mom, Arthur said next time I can feed the koi,” Bryan announced over breakfast, spooning cereal with the enthusiasm of someone delivering breaking news. “He has actual koi in a real pond.”“Did he,” I said, smiling into my coffee.“He

Chapter: CHAPTER TENArthur’s POV I had the east wing guest room prepared three days before Bryan was due to arrive. Margaret had looked at me sideways when I gave the instruction, though, not impolitely but with the expression of a woman who had managed this household for over three decades and knew when there were particular changes in the owner’s behavior. The east wing guest room was the one with the window seat overlooking the garden, the one I had repainted twice in the last decade trying to get the color right, but had being left unused since Xavier was a boy grown enough to no longer need it. I didn’t explained myself to Margaret. I simply told her to have it ready, to stock it with things a five-year-old might find useful, and to ensure the kitchen had the ingredients for the pancakes I intended to make myself on Saturday morning regardless of what the cook had already planned. The truth was, I had been thinking about Bryan Ashford since the afternoon I met him in that hospital play are
