Reborn A Heartless Luna 28
Lila The morning sun filtered through the curtains as I slipped out of bed, my stomach tight with nerves and anticipation. Today had to go well. I couldn’t afford any more setbacks. Emerson had been avoiding me like the plague lately, and Raven… she was more distant than ever, even though she was in our faces every day. I could feel something shifting, something dangerous in the air, but I had to stay focused. One wrong move, and everything I had been working toward could collapse.As I stepped into the kitchen, I put on my best smile. The smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the room, and Raven sat at the table, scrolling through her phone, while Emerson sat across from her, staring into his mug like it held all the answers to his problems. The tension in the air was palpable, but I wasn’t going to let it get to me. Not today.“Good morning!” I chirped, forcing a cheerful tone as I pulled out a chair.Neither of them looked up. Raven continued to tap away on her phone, and Emerson,

LilaThe plane engines hummed steadily as we took off, lifting into the sky, and I glanced over at Emerson. He sat beside me, eyes closed, fingers drumming lightly on the armrest, exuding his usual calm but distant demeanor. I’d spent the past few days meticulously preparing for this trip, knowing this was my chance to execute my plan, and here I was, sitting next to him, the moment finally arriving.“Excited for the trip?” I asked, keeping my tone light and conversational.He opened one eye and looked at me for a moment before responding. “It’s work, Lila. I wouldn’t exactly call that exciting.”I smiled, leaning back in my seat. “Well, it’s an important deal for the company. I’m sure we’ll make a good team.”He gave a noncommittal grunt and turned his attention to the file in front of him, signaling the end of the conversation. Typical Emerson—cold, detached, always focused on business. I’d expected this, of course. It was why I had to play this trip so carefully. If I pushed too ha

RavenPeace. That’s all I felt as I sat by the window, watching the sunset fade into the horizon. With Emerson and Lila gone on their business trip, the house was finally quiet, devoid of the tension that always seemed to fill the air when they were around. It was almost like a burden had lifted from my shoulders, one I hadn’t even fully realized I was carrying.I knew they were together, probably continuing their affair without any concern for discretion, and surprisingly, I didn’t care. In fact, I welcomed the distance. Let them do whatever they wanted—I had my own plans. This break from their constant presence gave me time to think, to strategize. My goal was clear: expose them. And not just in some quiet, behind-the-scenes way. I wanted everyone to know exactly who they were, and I was going to do it publicly.But that would come in time. For now, I had the house to myself. I had dinner, a quiet affair for once, and slipped into bed early, my mind still running through different s

Raven**WARNING—STEAMY SCENES AHEAD**The moment Clark kissed me again, deeper and more passionate than before, I felt my heart race in my chest. This time, there was no hesitation, no lingering doubt. Just raw emotion and need, swirling between us, pushing us toward something inevitable.Before I knew it, his strong arms were around me, lifting me effortlessly off the ground. My breath caught in my throat as he carried me toward his room, the hallway blurring in my peripheral vision. My heart pounded with anticipation, excitement, and maybe a little fear. But none of it was enough to stop me.As soon as we were inside, Clark set me down gently on the edge of the bed, his eyes dark with desire as he looked at me. My chest rose and fell with each shallow breath, my pulse racing beneath my skin. Neither of us spoke; words weren’t necessary. Instead, he began to undress me, his fingers brushing against my skin, sending shivers down my spine.I was trembling, not from fear, but from the i

RavenI woke up to the soft rise and fall of Clark’s chest beneath my head, the warmth of his arms wrapped tightly around me. For a fleeting moment, everything felt right—like this was where I was meant to be. I stretched slightly, careful not to disturb him, but even with the softest of movements, his eyes fluttered open, a sleepy smile spreading across his face.“Morning,” he murmured, his voice deep and husky.“Morning,” I replied, my heart fluttering at the sight of him so relaxed, so… perfect. But I couldn’t let myself get lost in this. Clark was dangerous. Not in the obvious ways like Emerson or even Lila, but in the way he made me feel. He had a way of breaking down every wall I built around myself, every bit of resolve that I held onto.Still, I couldn’t regret what happened last night. It had been a release, something I desperately needed. But I also knew it couldn’t happen again. Not like this.Clark seemed to sense my thoughts, his arms tightening around me as he whispered,

RavenAfter the long day, my head was buzzing with everything Marcus had said. His words lingered, echoing in my mind as I drove to Ava’s apartment. He was right—this wasn’t just about the business anymore. It had turned into a game of power, and I had to decide whether I was going to play or be swept aside. But that wasn’t all that weighed on my mind. Clark. Luca. Emerson. My life had become a tangle of lies, betrayal, and secrets. And I was right in the middle of it all.When I arrived at Ava’s, she greeted me with her usual sharp smile. There was something about her that had changed since we first started working together—she was no longer just my confidante. She had become a formidable partner, a woman who could handle any situation thrown her way. She was fierce, and I needed her now more than ever.“Long day?” Ava asked as she poured me a glass of wine, her eyes flicking over me with a knowing look.“You could say that,” I replied, sinking into the plush chair by the window. “Ma

ClarkI didn’t mean for any of this to happen. At first, I thought I was just intrigued by Raven. She had this air about her, a quiet intensity that drew me in like a moth to a flame. But it was more than that. The more time I spent with her, the more I realized it wasn’t just her strength or her beauty that fascinated me—it was the way she moved through the world, so calculated, so deliberate. She was always three steps ahead of everyone else. And I admired that. I admired her, despite the dark secret that I carried with me.I sat on the edge of the bed, my mind spinning, thinking about the mess I was in. I’d killed her. Not in the way people think of murder, but I was the one behind the wheel the night she died. The accident had shattered everything. And yet, here she was, reborn, alive again. Just like me. The fact that we were both back didn’t feel like a coincidence, and I was terrified of what that meant.Every time I was near her, it was like walking a tightrope. I wanted to pr

RavenThe cold wind cut across the bridge, lashing against my coat as I stepped onto the steel framework. The city lights glittered below, blurring against the river like fractured glass. Ten o’clock on the dot, just as the message instructed. No sign of anyone.I hated how my breath came faster. I hated that my heart jumped at every sound. But most of all, I hated that I hadn’t told Ava or even Clark about this meeting’s true risk.They would’ve tried to stop me. But this… this was mine to finish.Footsteps echoed from the far side of the bridge. I shifted, hand near the hidden blade in my boot.Then he stepped out of the shadows.Marcus Greer.No disguise. No mask. Just the man behind it all, his smile easy and calculated, like he already knew the ending to this story.“Raven,” he said, like we were old friends catching up instead of mortal enemies.“You’re bold to come alone,” I replied.“I’m impressed you did.”I didn’t respond. My fingers twitched near the knife.Marcus walked cl

RavenThe morning after the event, the city was ablaze with speculation. Headlines painted Emerson and Lila as corporate criminals, parasites leeching off a legacy they didn’t deserve. My plan had worked better than I imagined—precisely orchestrated chaos. But even with their reputations unraveling, I couldn’t shake the growing dread clawing at my chest.Marcus was out there.And worse—he was quiet.It’s the silence that comes after the scream you should fear most. The inhale before the blow. That was Marcus’s specialty: not the obvious attack, but the one you never saw coming.I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of my apartment, watching the skyline shift behind a veil of gray clouds. A soft knock came from the door. Ava let herself in without waiting.“He’s not in any of his usual places,” she said, dropping a file on the table. “His old contacts are either lying low or pretending they never knew him.”I didn’t turn around. “He won’t use old routes. He knows we’d be watching.”“H

Raven The storm I had been building for months had finally broken. But it wasn’t unfolding the way I’d planned.Instead of standing alone at the center of my vengeance, victorious, I was flanked by ghosts—Clark, burdened by the weight of guilt and regret, and Marcus, the puppet master I’d failed to see until it was almost too late. And somewhere in the crowd, Emerson and Lila were watching this unravel with barely-concealed dread. They were no longer my only targets. But they were still part of the game.I stepped down from the stage as murmurs escalated to chaos. Some people were pulling up files on their phones, others whispering frantically to one another. The room was becoming a minefield of shifting alliances and crumbling trust. I could feel Marcus’s eyes boring into my back like daggers.Ava moved beside me like a shadow, calm and sharp.“It’s done,” she said. “The media has the full dossier. Within the hour, this entire room is going to be scorched earth.”I exhaled slowly, b

RavenI stood frozen at the edge of the stage as Marcus’s words thundered through the room like a bomb detonating in slow motion. The folder he handed over looked far too familiar—my reports, my emails, but twisted, doctored, and manipulated to look like I had been undermining the company from the inside. My breath caught in my throat.This was supposed to be my moment. The culmination of months of work, suffering, loss. I had been seconds away from exposing Emerson and Lila, from burning their empire to the ground. And now, in front of the same crowd I meant to dismantle, I was being painted as the villain.Clark was still at the entrance, halfway in the shadows. I saw the panic flicker across his face. I didn’t know if it was guilt, desperation, or something else. But I couldn’t focus on him—not now. I locked eyes with Ava, and she immediately stepped forward, eyes scanning the scene with the sharpness of a strategist.“Stall them,” I mouthed to her.She nodded and moved toward the

RavenMy heart felt like it was cracking apart, piece by jagged piece, as I stormed out of the room, my breath coming in sharp, uneven bursts. I couldn’t see straight, couldn’t think straight. Clark. Of all people, Clark—the one person I had let my guard down around, the one person I thought might be different from the rest. He was the reason my sister was dead. The reason my life had turned into this hollow, vengeful existence. And I had trusted him. Loved him.The memory of his confession replayed in my mind, over and over like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from. His voice had been tight with guilt, his eyes filled with the kind of regret that made me want to scream. But it didn’t matter. No amount of remorse could fix what had been done. No amount of love could change the fact that he had killed her. I wanted to hate him. I wanted to bury the feelings I had for him so deep that they would never surface again. But the truth was, I was torn apart inside.I stumbled into the nearest

RavenStanding at the edge of the stage, I could feel every nerve in my body humming with anticipation. Tonight was the night. The night I would finally expose Emerson and Lila for the corrupt, scheming monsters they were. Every second had been building to this moment, every sleepless night, every carefully calculated move. And now, it was all about to come crashing down.The crowd in the room shifted restlessly, the low murmur of voices blending with the soft clinking of champagne glasses. I scanned the faces before me, knowing that among them were my enemies, my allies, and those who would fall once this was over. My stomach twisted, but I forced the feeling down, locking it in the pit where I stored all the rage, all the betrayal. I couldn’t afford to feel anything else right now.I glanced over to the side of the stage and caught sight of Emerson, standing tall and smug, his arm casually slung around Lila’s waist. They looked like the perfect power couple—the corporate king and qu

ClarkThe phone rang once, twice, and I could feel my pulse pounding in my throat. I wasn’t sure what I’d say once Raven picked up. I had no plan for this, no clever way to make her understand that everything I’d done—even the worst of it—had been a mistake I was tricked into. How could I even explain that?But then the ringing stopped, and for a second, I thought she’d hung up without answering. I almost dropped the phone in my surprise when I heard her voice.“What do you want, Clark?” Her voice was cold, detached, like I wasn’t even worth her time.I swallowed hard, trying to push past the knot of guilt in my throat. “Raven, I need to talk to you.”She scoffed, and the sound hit me like a punch to the gut. “We don’t have anything left to talk about.”She was right. I had lied to her. Kept the truth from her about the hit-and-run, about the night her world shattered. But I couldn’t let her walk into Marcus’s trap without at least trying to warn her.“I know you hate me right now, an

ClarkThe weight of my plan settled in my chest as I walked out of my apartment, my footsteps feeling heavier with every step. Setting a trap for Marcus wasn’t just about taking him down. It was about protecting Raven. It was about fixing the mistakes I had made—about making sure she didn’t fall into the trap he had laid out for her.I couldn’t shake the feeling that danger was creeping closer. Marcus had been too quiet these last few days, which was never a good sign. Someone like him didn’t stay quiet unless they were plotting something bigger, and my gut told me that he was planning to make his move at the upcoming business event. The same event where Raven had planned her grand reveal against Emerson and Lila.The problem was, I didn’t know how deep Marcus’s play went. All I knew was that it was dangerous, and that if I didn’t stop him, Raven would end up taking the fall. Marcus had always been a master manipulator, and he knew how to twist every situation to his advantage. If I d

ClarkAfter confronting Marcus, my mind was spinning. The weight of everything I had learned sat heavy in my chest, and the truth felt like a ticking time bomb. I couldn’t do this alone. Marcus had too much power, too much influence, and I was just one person—one deeply flawed, guilt-ridden person. If I was going to expose him, I needed help.The first thing I did was reach out to some of the people I thought I could trust in the company, starting with those I had worked closely with over the years. Some of them had been loyal to Emerson and the pack, or at least that’s what I had assumed. I called a few of them in for quiet meetings, avoiding too much attention. But each time, the result was the same.“He’s too powerful, Clark.”“I’ve got a family to think about.”“Marcus has connections everywhere. If you go after him, it’ll be career suicide for all of us.”The excuses kept piling up, and I could see the fear in their eyes. Marcus had wrapped his hands around every throat in this o
