Anya's POV

The grand dining room of the Sterling family mansion was a masterclass in old-money wealth. Unlike Julian’s modern, minimalist penthouse, this place was filled with heavy antique furniture, imposing gold-framed oil paintings of ancestors, and a massive crystal chandelier that cast an unforgiving, bright light over the long mahogany table. But despite the visual grandeur, the atmosphere in the room was absolute ice.

This wasn't a family dinner. It was a battlefield of hidden daggers,

  • Reborn to Seduce the Devil CEO    Chapter 41: The Financial Collapse

    Anya's POV I didn't have to wait long. Three days later, the city was rocked by the kind of spectacular, messy social scandal that made international headlines. It happened at the annual Diamond Crown Gala, the most prestigious social event of the fall season. The event was being live-streamed on the society pages, the cameras capturing every glittering dress and fake smile. I was standing near the VIP bar with Julian, sipping a glass of champagne. Julian’s hand was resting on my waist, his thumb casually tracing the silk of my emerald gown, his grey eyes scanning the room for any potential threats. The moment the front doors of the ballroom opened, the ambient music seemed to die down. Victoria Vance had arrived. She looked like an avenging angel. She was dressed in a severe, blood-red gown, her dark hair pulled back tightly, her face a mask of terrifying, cold fury. But she wasn't alone. Walking two steps behind her, looking like a deer caught in the headlights, was Chloe

  • Reborn to Seduce the Devil CEO    Chapter 40: The Other Woman's Fall

    Anya's POV The private jet touched down on the Sterling Group's executive runway just as the city skyline began to glow with the early morning sun. Seven days in paradise had done the impossible—it had quieted the screaming ghosts in my head. As I stepped off the jet, the warm, tropical breeze still clinging to my linen dress, I felt like a woman who had finally remembered how to breathe. Julian walked beside me, his hand resting possessively on the small of my back. The city was already bustling, the cold reality of our corporate empire waiting just beyond the tarmac. But for the first time, the cold didn't feel suffocating. It felt like a challenge I was ready to face. "Welcome home, Mrs. Sterling," Julian murmured, pressing a soft kiss to my temple before his arm tightened around my waist. "I have a board meeting in an hour, but I expect you to rest today." "I'll try," I lied smoothly, offering him a faint smile. Julian’s sharp grey eyes narrowed, clearly reading the schemi

  • Reborn to Seduce the Devil CEO    Chapter 39: Love or Lust?

    Anya's POV Julian didn't let go of my hand as we walked back from the beach. The moment the heavy wooden door shut behind us, cutting off the sound of the ocean, he pulled me forcefully into his chest. His eyes were dark, burning with a look that made my throat tight. He didn't say a word. He just looked down at me, his thumbs gently tracing my jawline. I could feel the rapid, heavy beat of his heart mirroring my own. When his lips met mine, everything changed. This wasn't like the nights before. It wasn't the wild, primal claim he had made after throwing Leo out of the penthouse. It wasn't about marking his territory or asserting his dominance. This kiss was slow, devastatingly deep, and dripping with an aching tenderness that terrified my soul. He parted my lips gently, his tongue sliding past my teeth with a soft, desperate groan that felt less like a command and more like a plea. I opened to him eagerly, tasting the salt of the sea and the dark, intoxicating flavor of the man

  • Reborn to Seduce the Devil CEO    Chapter 38: Barefoot on the Beach

    Anya's POV I slipped off my sandals, leaving them on the wooden steps of the villa. Stepping onto the beach, the powdery white sand felt impossibly soft and warm beneath my bare feet. I wore a simple, flowing white sundress that fluttered gently around my knees. For the first time in what felt like an eternity, I didn’t feel like a warrior encased in heavy armor. I just felt light. Julian walked beside me, matching my slow, unhurried pace. He had rolled the hems of his dark trousers up to his calves, his bare feet sinking into the wet sand as the gentle waves rolled over them. His hands were buried casually in his pockets, his posture relaxed, yet his piercing grey eyes never strayed far from my face. We walked in companionable silence, listening to the rhythmic ebb and flow of the tide lapping against our ankles. The water was bathwater warm, gently tugging at the hem of my dress. "What are you thinking about, Anya?" Julian’s resonant voice broke the tranquil silence of the beach

  • Reborn to Seduce the Devil CEO    Chapter 37: The Honeymoon Suite

    Anya's POV I stepped out of the private jet's cabin and was instantly greeted by a warm, tropical breeze that carried the sweet scent of exotic flowers and saltwater. The bright afternoon sun reflected off an ocean so vibrantly blue and crystal clear that it looked like a massive, polished jewel stretching out to the horizon. I looked around in sheer awe. We weren't at a luxury resort, and we certainly weren't at a public vacation spot. Standing on the private tarmac was a small team of estate staff, all bowing respectfully as we descended the steps. "Where are we, Julian?" I asked, turning my head to look at the man walking beside me. Julian had already shed his stiff business suit. He wore a loose, white linen button-down with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms and casual dark trousers. His jet-black hair was slightly windswept, and his sharp grey eyes were relaxed, mirroring the stunning azure of the water. "A private island in the South Pacific," Julian murmured, a slow,

  • Reborn to Seduce the Devil CEO    Chapter 36: The Vengeful Sister

    Anya's POV The ballroom of the Grand Symphony Gala was filled with the city's highest elite, all basking in the elegance of the evening. It was a premier charity event, the kind where the most powerful people gathered to flaunt their wealth and moral superiority. Julian had been pulled away to the VIP area by two state senators to discuss a new urban development project, leaving me to navigate the crowded ballroom alone. I stood near a tall white marble pillar, holding a glass of iced water. I wore a stunning emerald silk gown that flowed around my ankles like liquid water. The gossip columnists had spent the last hour trying to inch closer to me, desperately vying for a quote from the untouchable new Mrs. Sterling. But as I surveyed the sea of tuxedos and haute couture, my eyes locked onto a very familiar, and deeply pathetic, spectacle. It was Chloe. It had only been a week since I had dismantled her in public at the luncheon, but her life had clearly taken a drastic turn for
