Reborn: I want my billionaire back Threads Of Betrayal
The morning sunlight streamed into Louis’s office as he reviewed the latest updates from his contacts in the underworld. The new developments had confirmed what he feared: the threats against Daisy were far from over. Her career success had painted a target on her back, and Natalie’s name was starting to surface more frequently, albeit in whispers.The quiet knock on his door pulled him from his thoughts. “Come in,” he called, setting the file aside.Liam entered, his expression serious. “You called?”Louis gestured for him to sit, pouring a glass of scotch for each of them. “We need to talk about Daisy,” he began.Liam frowned, taking the offered glass but not drinking. “What’s wrong now?”“Everything,” Louis said bluntly. “The threats are escalating. I have people looking into it, but I can’t do this alone. I need your help to keep her safe.”Liam leaned back in his chair, studying Louis. “What’s your plan?”“I’ve been reestablishing old connections,” Louis admitted, his tone grave.

The atmosphere in Louis’s penthouse was unusually heavy. Daisy had spent the night there after the ambush, resting under Louis's vigilant watch. He hadn’t left her side since they returned, his expression unreadable yet simmering with barely contained rage.Daisy, sitting on the couch with a cup of tea in her hands, glanced up at him. “Louis, you’ve been pacing for hours,” she said gently. “You need to rest too.”“I can’t rest,” he snapped, then immediately softened his tone. “I can’t rest knowing you’re not safe. Knowing someone out there wants to hurt you.”She placed the cup down and walked over to him. “We’ll figure this out together,” she said, placing a hand on his arm.His gaze softened, but the tension in his body didn’t ease. “Daisy, I need to ask you something,” he said, turning to face her fully.She nodded, sensing the seriousness in his tone.“Move in with me,” he said, his voice low but firm.Her heart skipped a beat, not because of the suggestion itself but because of t

The air was heavy with tension, though the lavish surroundings of the charity gala gave no hint of the danger lurking beneath. Louis stood by the grand window of the ballroom, his sharp eyes scanning the room as a sea of well-dressed guests mingled and laughed, oblivious to the storm brewing in his world.This event wasn’t just for show. Louis had orchestrated it to bring together some of the city’s most influential figures—businessmen, politicians, and those with ties to the underworld. It was a trap, meticulously set to flush out those targeting Daisy.Daisy arrived late, her radiant presence turning heads as she walked in wearing a sleek black gown that hugged her figure. Her confidence was magnetic, though Louis caught the flicker of unease in her eyes as she met his gaze. She felt out of place among the glittering crowd, but she’d come for Louis. He had asked her to be here, and she couldn’t refuse him.“Daisy,” Louis greeted her, his voice low and warm. “You look stunning.”“And

The hum of the private jet was the only sound in the dim cabin. Daisy sat by the window, her arms wrapped around herself as she stared out into the night sky. Across from her, Louis leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees, his fingers steepled in thought. Liam sat a few seats away, speaking in hushed tones on the phone, gathering intel on Natalie’s abduction.Daisy's mind was a storm of emotions. She had narrowly escaped danger, but the knowledge that Natalie was in Ricci's clutches unsettled her deeply. The memory of Natalie screaming for her to run played on a loop in her mind. It didn't add up. If Natalie had been helping her, why was she at the gala in the first place?"You're too quiet," Louis's voice broke through her thoughts. She turned to find him watching her, his piercing eyes softening slightly as they met hers."I'm just... trying to make sense of everything," Daisy admitted.Louis reached out, covering her hand with his. "You don't have to. Let me handle it.""But Na

The calm after the storm was short-lived. Daisy’s days at the villa were marked by a tense silence. Natalie kept to herself, her smiles brittle, her laughter hollow. Daisy noticed the subtle ways Natalie avoided eye contact with Louis and Liam, her voice unusually careful. But more pressing were the moments when Daisy caught Natalie watching her, a flicker of something unspoken in her gaze.They had managed to save Natalie from Ricci but the entire operation went too easy. Easy but suspicious.Louis, meanwhile, was consumed with work. Or so he claimed. Daisy often found him in his study, the door closed and his voice low as he held endless phone calls. She knew better than to believe it was all business. The lines between his corporate empire and his shadowy Mafia dealings were blurring more with each passing day.For Liam, the change in Louis was palpable. His soon to be brother-in-law was colder, more ruthless in his decisions. Over shared drinks late one night, Liam voiced his conc

The dimly lit room reeked of fear. Shadows danced along the cold concrete walls, cast by the single overhead bulb swaying lazily on its chain. The sound of muffled cries filled the space as a man knelt on the ground, trembling. Around him stood Ezekiel Chen’s men, their faces impassive but their eyes betraying the discomfort they felt in the presence of their leader’s wrath.Ezekiel sat in a chair at the far end of the room, his legs crossed with an air of casual dominance. His tailored black suit was immaculate, a sharp contrast to the bloodstained floor in front of him. A glass of dark liquor rested in his hand, untouched, as his piercing gray eyes bore into the man before him."You had one job," Ezekiel began, his voice calm and measured, which only made it more terrifying. "One simple task.""Mr. Chen, please," the man stammered, his voice cracking. "We—""You failed."The words cut through the air like a blade. Ezekiel set the glass down on a small table beside him and leaned for

The sound of papers rustling filled Liam’s study as he flipped through the latest security reports. Ever since Daisy’s near-death experience, he had made it his personal mission to ensure nothing like that would happen again. His eyes lingered on one report—something felt off.There were discrepancies in the timeline. On the night Daisy was saved from the attack at her birthday party, the hotel security cameras had picked up movements of an unknown team of individuals stationed discreetly around the perimeter.Liam frowned, tapping the report with his pen. "Who are you?" he murmured under his breath.Deciding he needed answers, Liam called the head of Daisy’s security team."Explain this," Liam demanded when the man arrived, holding up the report.The head of security hesitated, his usually confident demeanor faltering. "Sir... those men aren’t part of our team."Liam’s eyes narrowed. "Then whose team are they? They were clearly protecting Daisy. Find out."Louis sat in his office, hi

Ezekiel Chen sat in his private office, the glow of the city’s skyline filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows. A faint smile played on his lips as he reviewed the details of his latest scheme. His fingers traced the edge of a polished crystal tumbler, filled halfway with an aged whiskey that he hadn’t yet touched.The invitation was already prepared, sent out to the most prominent figures in the entertainment industry. A grand dinner to unveil the cast and crew of Eclipsed Hearts, a new, highly-anticipated series that was already generating buzz in the media.Daisy Croft, of course, had been offered the lead role, handpicked by Ezekiel himself.The door creaked open, and one of his men entered, bowing his head low.“Everything is in place, sir,” the man reported. “The dinner will be held at the Montii's Hotel. Every major outlet and industry head will attend.”“Good,” Ezekiel replied, his tone calm yet commanding. He leaned back in his chair, the shadows cloaking his sharp fea

Natalie watched Louis from across the room, her eyes narrowed as he sat slouched in his chair, nursing a glass of whiskey. His injuries had mostly healed, but the emotional wounds he carried were far from mended. He barely acknowledged her presence, his thoughts clearly elsewhere.She smiled faintly, masking the bitterness that twisted in her chest. Tonight would be the night she secured her future.“Louis,” she called softly, stepping closer. Her voice was soothing, almost maternal. “You’ve been drinking too much again.”“I’m fine,” he muttered, swirling the amber liquid in his glass.“No, you’re not,” she said firmly, taking the glass from his hand. “Come sit with me.”He didn’t resist as she guided him to the couch. She handed him another drink, this one carefully prepared.As he drank, Natalie sat beside him, her hand resting lightly on his arm. “I’ve been worried about you,” she said, her tone sweet and laced with concern.Louis blinked slowly, his vision beginning to blur. “I’m

Natalie stared out the window of her lavishly decorated parlor, her fingers curled tightly around the stem of her wine glass. The late afternoon sun cast a golden glow across the room, but it did little to brighten the storm brewing inside her.The whispers had reached her ears—whispers that shouldn’t exist, whispers that sent her carefully constructed world teetering on the edge of chaos. Daisy. Alive.The name burned in her mind like a brand, fueling a mixture of fear, anger, and something dangerously close to envy. Louis hadn’t been the same since his return from the Sovereign’s clutches. He was distant, restless, his eyes constantly clouded with thought. Natalie knew where his mind wandered, even if he didn’t dare speak it aloud. It wasn’t hard to guess.Daisy.She swirled her wine absently, her mind working through the implications. If Daisy truly was alive, everything Natalie had worked for could come crumbling down. Louis had been hers for years now, tethered by duty and conven

Louis stumbled through the shadowed streets, clutching his bruised ribs as he gasped for air. The Sovereign’s men had made it clear that his escape wouldn’t come easy. Blood seeped through his torn shirt, each step sending sharp jolts of pain through his battered body. But he didn’t care. There was only one place he could go, only one person who might help him make sense of what had just happened: Ezekiel.When he finally arrived at Ezekiel’s residence, he nearly collapsed at the gate. Summoning the last shred of his strength, Louis banged on the door, his bloodied knuckles leaving red smears on the polished wood.The door swung open, and Louis looked up, expecting Ezekiel’s stern gaze. Instead, he was met with the wide-eyed stares of Liam and Dandelion.“Louis?” Dandelion’s voice was sharp with disbelief.“What the hell are you doing here?” Liam demanded, his expression a mixture of anger and concern.Louis staggered inside without waiting for an invitation, collapsing onto a nearby

The room was oppressive, suffused with a damp chill that clung to Daisy’s skin. Her wrists were shackled above her head, the iron cuffs biting into her flesh. She stood in the center of the punishment chamber, her cloak discarded, her back bare to the cold air. The Sovereign’s heavy footsteps echoed ominously, each step a grim promise of what was to come.“You failed me, Phantom.” His voice was devoid of warmth, each word cutting like a blade. “You, my most trusted. My most loyal.”Daisy remained silent, her chin lifted defiantly despite the weight of the accusations. She had made her choice, and she would endure the consequences.The Sovereign circled her slowly, his presence looming. “Did you think I wouldn’t notice? That I wouldn’t see the hesitation, the weakness? You let him escape.” His voice dropped, chillingly calm. “You, of all people, betrayed me.”She stiffened but didn’t speak. What could she say? He was right. She had faltered when she saw Louis, the memories of their pas
Reborn: I want my billionaire back Sixty One
The room reeked of damp cement and rusted metal, its oppressive silence broken only by the faint drip of water from a leaking pipe. Shadows flickered against the walls, cast by a single bulb hanging precariously from the ceiling. Louis sat hunched in a steel chair, his wrists bound tightly by chains that dug into his skin. Dried blood crusted on his cheek from a deep gash, a testament to the rough treatment he’d endured, yet his eyes still burned with defiance.He wasn’t afraid of them. At least, that’s what he told himself. But deep down, beneath his stoic facade, there was a small, gnawing fear—not for himself, but for those he had failed.The heavy door groaned open, its sound reverberating through the room like a warning. Louis lifted his head, squinting through the haze of pain and dim light. The rhythmic clink of boots filled the silence, deliberate and unhurried.She entered the room with a calculated grace, her black cloak billowing slightly as she moved. A sleek mask covered

Daisy sat at the edge of a deserted rooftop, her legs dangling over the ledge as the neon-lit city sprawled below her. The air was thick with the hum of distant traffic, broken only by the occasional siren. She exhaled, her breath forming a mist in the cool night air. The trail she had left behind was deliberate—a breadcrumb she knew he couldn’t resist.He would come. He always did.But why? Why was she doing this? Each time, she told herself it would be the last. Yet here she was, waiting, her heart warring between anticipation and dread. She hated this pull he had over her, hated how his presence stirred something deep within her that she thought she’d buried forever.The faint sound of footsteps reached her ears, steady and purposeful. She didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. She closed her eyes briefly, steeling herself.“You’re getting sloppy,” Ezekiel said, his voice low and tinged with worry.She smirked, though it didn’t reach her eyes. “Or maybe I’m just testing you

The tension between them had always been an undercurrent, simmering beneath the surface, threatening to boil over. But lately, it had become impossible to ignore. Daisy sat at the edge of the Sovereign's grand meeting hall, her eyes scanning the room as the powerful figures debated alliances and power plays. She could feel his gaze on her—intense, unwavering, and maddeningly familiar.Ezekiel was there, standing among the few who had been granted access as external advisors. His focus was razor-sharp, but Daisy could tell it wasn’t on the room's politics or the Sovereign’s plans. It was on her. Always her.After the meeting concluded, Daisy made her way through the winding halls of the Sovereign’s estate. Her steps were deliberate, echoing against the cold marble floor. She didn’t want to acknowledge his presence trailing her, but she knew he was there. He always found a way to close the distance, and today was no different.“Do you think you can avoid me forever?” Ezekiel’s voice cut

Louis sat at his desk, the dull glow of the single lamp barely illuminating the mess of papers scattered before him. Financial reports, gang operations, and troubling news about the Sovereign’s encroaching power all screamed for his attention. But his mind was elsewhere, replaying the haunting image of her—the masked figure with scars.The memory gnawed at him relentlessly. Could it have been Daisy? Or was it a cruel trick of his guilt-ridden mind? He hated himself for even entertaining the thought.He poured himself another glass of whiskey, the burn doing little to numb the ache inside him. Across the room, Natalie entered without knocking, her expression a mix of irritation and triumph.“You’re spiraling,” she said bluntly, placing a folder on his desk. “We can’t afford for you to lose control now.”Louis glared at her. “I don’t need a lecture, Natalie.”Her lips curved into a sly smile as she sat on the edge of the desk, twirling a lock of her hair. “Good, because I’m not here to

Ezekiel sat in the dimly lit study, papers strewn across the desk in front of him. Maps, lists, and dossiers—all meticulously gathered in his relentless pursuit of a way to free her. His thoughts were a storm, a mix of strategy and emotions he couldn’t suppress. Every time he thought of her—her eyes hidden behind that mask, the scars on her body—his determination only grew stronger.“Daisy,” he murmured, the name a whisper of both hope and pain.He didn’t know how long he could endure watching her suffer, trapped in the Sovereign’s web. But he knew one thing for certain: he wouldn’t stop until she was free.---Meeting with Liam had been his first step, and though he had anticipated resistance, the outright rejection still stung.“Liam, please,” Ezekiel had said, his voice steady despite the tension between them. “I need your help. She needs your help.”Liam had crossed his arms, his expression unreadable. “And what makes you think I’d trust you? After everything? After Louis?”“This
