2024-09-02 03:19:09The next day happened to be Paulina’s half sister’s birthday. So she tried to surprise her sister in her apartment since there was no work on that day.
As she got into the house with her spare key, she noticed that something seemed a little off. Paulina stood frozen in the hallway as she approached Alexis' room, curiosity filling her.
She hesitated for a moment, not sure whether invading her sister's personal space was worth it, but then a wave of determination washed over her. She would just peep.
Taking a deep breath, she turned the knob and pushed the door open only for her to be broken by what she had seen, as it had made her stomach churn.
James was in her sister’s bed, his arm wrapped casually over the bare back of Alexis, she couldn’t believe it was her own step-sister.
The sheets were tangled around their bodies, and the room reeked of sex and alcohol.
Paulina gasped, the sound tearing through the silence of the room. Both James and Alexis jolted up, their eyes wide with shock.
"Paulina! What the hell are you doing here?" James barked; his voice laced with panic as he grabbed a pillow to cover himself.
"What am I doing here?" Paulina’s voice trembled with anger and heartbreak. "What am I doing here? James, you—"
She choked on her words, tears welling up in her eyes. "You’re in bed with my sister!"
"Paulina, it’s not what it looks like," Alexis stammered, her face flushed with no guilt or remorse, she seemed to be enjoying this.
She scrambled to cover herself with the sheets.Paulina shook her head in disbelief, taking a step back as the room began to spin.
"Not what it looks like? How could you, Alexis? My sister? After everything I’ve done for you?"
Alexis avoided her gaze, pulling the sheets tighter around herself. "Paulina, please…"
"No!" Paulina’s voice was sharp, filled with pain.
"I don’t want to hear your excuses. I trusted you, both of you!" She looked at James, her eyes brimming with tears.
"I gave you everything, James. Everything! And this is how you repay me?"James sat up, running a hand through his hair.
"Paulina, calm down. We can talk about this—"
“I came here to celebrate your birthday Alexis…
Alexis looks down a bit. “I didn’t know.”
"Of course, you wouldn’t know!" Paulina shouted, her voice rising with anger.
"You were too busy sleeping with my husband to care about anything else!"
James finally found his voice, though it was weak, almost pleading.
"Paulina, I’m sorry. I never wanted to hurt you—"
"But you did, James," Paulina cut him off, her voice cold and resolute.
"And now, you’re going to pay for it."
Without another word, she pulled out her phone and snapped a picture of them together, the flash illuminating their guilty faces.
"Paulina, what are you doing?" Alexis cried out, panic lacing her voice.Paulina stared at them, her hands shaking but her resolve firm.
"I’m going to post this on the Business Daily blog. Everyone will know that James Whitney, CEO of my father’s company, is having an affair with his employee, when he has a wife."
"Paulina, no!" James leaped out of bed, trying to grab her phone, but she was faster.
She dashed out of the room, her heart pounding in her chest as she heard them scrambling behind her.
"Paulina, wait!" James shouted, his footsteps heavy as he chased after her.
“Paulina, please, don’t do this!" Alexis’ voice was desperate, her bare feet slapping against the wooden floor as she hurried to catch up.
Paulina didn’t stop.
She ran down the hallway, the adrenaline coursing through her veins. She had to get out, had to expose them for what they had done.
The betrayal, the lies—it all fueled her need for justice.She reached the top of the staircase, her breath coming in ragged gasps. Just as she was about to descend, Alexis caught up with her. "Paulina, stop!"
Alexis grabbed her arm, yanking her back.Paulina tried to pull away, her voice trembling with fear and anger.
"Let go of me, Alexis!"But Alexis didn’t let go.“I’m going to ruin you before you ruin me bitch!” In her desperation, she pushed Paulina with all her strength, sending her stumbling backward.
Paulina’s foot slipped on the edge of the step, and she lost her balance.
For a brief, horrifying moment, time seemed to slow. Paulina’s arms flailed as she tried to grab onto something—anything—to stop her fall. But there was nothing.
She tumbled down the stairs, her body hitting the steps in painful thuds.
The world spun around her, the pain searing through her body as she fell down.At the bottom of the staircase, Paulina lay motionless, her vision fading to black.
The last thing she heard before the darkness consumed her was Alexis screaming her name.

Paulina’s eyes opened, her vision blurry as she tried to focus on her surroundings. She felt disoriented, her mind hazy with confusion. The last thing she remembered was falling down the stairs, the pain shooting through her body, and the darkness that had swallowed her whole. But now, she was lying her head on a table, the cool surface pressing against her cheek. Slowly, she pushed herself up, wincing as she did. Her heart raced as she looked around, trying to make sense of what had happened.She was in her living room, but something was off. The room looked different—familiar, yet somehow wrong. She glanced down at herself and noticed she was wearing a black dress, simple and elegant, the kind one would wear to a funeral. Her hands trembled as she ran them over the fabric, her breath catching in her throat. “What… what is going on?” she whispered to herself, her voice shaky. Her mind raced as she tried to piece together the fragments of her memory. The last thing she remembe

Paulina stood in the living room, her mind full of emotions as she stared at James. The man she had once loved, the man who had broken her heart into a thousand pieces, was standing before her, concerned and unaware of the sins he would commit in the future. She knew what was coming, knew how his love would turn to betrayal, how his charm would morph into cold indifference. But now, as he stood there, offering her comfort in a moment that had once been the start of their union, Paulina felt a strange mix of anger and confusion. How could she be mad at him for something he hadn’t done yet? And yet, the knowledge of his future infidelity burned inside her, making her sick with the thought of what was to come.“Paulina,” James said softly, stepping closer to her, “what’s going on? You’re scaring me. Did something happen?”Paulina’s heart pounded in her chest as she took a step back, her resolve hardening. “James,” she said, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and determination, “I

Paulina couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling gnawing at her.She moved to the window and peeked through the curtains, watching as Alexis walked down the driveway making a phone call, which seemed quite suspicious. Her half-sister’s movements were slow, deliberate. Paulina’s heart pounded in her chest as she watched Alexis glance back at the house before getting into her car. Paulina let the curtain fall back into place, her mind spinning with questions. Alexis had always been skilled at hiding her true feelings, at playing the role of the caring sister when it suited her. But now, with the knowledge of the future, Paulina saw everything through a different lens. She couldn’t trust anyone, especially not Alexis.“What do I do now?”. Paulina whispered to herself, her voice trembling. She had been given a second chance, a chance to rewrite her fate. But the enormity of the task was overwhelming. She had to think, had to plan, there was no room for mistakes.She paced the living room, tryi

Paulina sat in her mother and father's antique study, the air thick with dust and memories. Her arms shook barely as she held the letter from her father, his phrases echoing in her mind: "Trust no person, not even those who proportion your blood." She studied the road again, her heart sinking. Her father had left her a warning, however, what turned into what she purports to take with it now?She placed the letter down on the desk, watching the rows of books her father had once loved. The room hadn’t changed in ten years, yet the entirety of her existence had. She becomes again—again before the lies, the betrayal, and the heartbreak. It needed to have felt like a blessing, but as an alternative, it felt like she changed into strolling on the edge of a cliff, one wrong step away from falling into darkness.Paulina’s thoughts have been interrupted with the aid of a knock at the door. Her heart jumped, her body worrying. "Who ought to it's at this hour?" she muttered to herself, the unea

Paulina sat on the dining room table, her mind swirling in a countless loop of doubt and fear. Her father’s letter still haunted her, its cryptic warning repeating in her mind: "Trust nobody, no longer even individuals who share your blood." Every look from James, each word from Alexis, or even each gesture from Elijah felt laced with hidden meanings. But the truth was slippery, and he or she wasn’t certain whom she may want to rely on anymore.Her telephone buzzed at the table, snapping her out of her mind. She picked it up, seeing a message from Elijah: “Need to talk. Meet me at the antique library in an hour.”Paulina’s stomach twisted. Elijah has been developing greater excessive, greater possessiveness because she’d returned to the beyond. She couldn’t shake the sensation that there was something he wasn’t telling her, something darkish lurking under his smooth phrases and quiet demeanor. But for now, she wanted him. He changed into the simplest character who knew a part of the f

Paulina’s heart pounded as she lifted the phone to her ear. “Hello?”“Paulina, it’s me,” James’ voice came through, cold and measured. There was no warmth, no hint of affection. It was as if they were already strangers.“What is it, James?” she replied, trying to keep her voice steady. She glanced at Elijah, who was watching her intently, his jaw clenched.“I think we need to talk,” James said, his tone leaving no room for argument. “I’m coming by the house later. There’s something we need to discuss, face to face.”Paulina’s mind raced. She hadn’t been expecting this—James calling her so suddenly, wanting to meet. Was he onto her? Did he suspect that she knew more than she let on?“What’s this about?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.“You’ll know soon enough,” James replied. “I’ll see you tonight.”Before she could respond, the line went dead.Paulina lowered the phone, her hands shaking slightly as she set it down on the table. Her mind was spinning, panic creeping into

Paulina’s heart raced as James’ words hung in the air, suffocating her. His demand echoed in her mind, the icy realization that he was making his move now—just as he had before. But this time, she wasn’t the naive woman who would hand him everything without a fight.She took a slow, steady breath, forcing herself to maintain her composure. Her palms were sweaty, but she clenched her fists, determined to hold her ground. “You want me to step aside?” she asked, her voice tight, but she refused to let him hear the fear in it. “And let you run my family’s company?”James’ eyes gleamed with that cold, calculating look she’d come to despise. “You and I both know you’re not capable of running things on your own, Paulina,” he said, stepping closer. His voice was smooth, dripping with manipulation. “You’ve been too distracted, too fragile since your parents passed away. You need someone strong, someone who understands how to handle the board, the business… and everything that comes with it.”P

Paulina sat in front of her pc, staring at the display because the documents from Elijah’s USB drive started to load. Her heart thudded in her chest, the tension inside the room so thick she may want to feel it weighing down on her. The stupid hum of the laptop’s fan became the best sound, however even that was regarded as too loud in the quiet house. She needed answers—needed to recognize if the proof Elijah had given her changed into reality.The first document opened, a spreadsheet full of numbers. At first look, it gave the look of standard business dealings, but as Paulina scrolled through, she saw the discrepancies—huge sums of money transferring inside and out of offshore debts, hidden under layers of shell groups. Her stomach twisted.James was siphoning cash for months, perhaps even years. He becomes bleeding the employer dry, just like he had in her last life. But now, she had the evidence she needed to prevent him. This time, she turned into geared up.Her palms trembled as

The days following the meeting with Alexander Vaughn were a whirlwind of strategic planning and high-stakes moves. With Vaughn’s insider knowledge and Marcus’s tactical brilliance, Paulina and her team systematically dismantled the network that had threatened everything they held dear.One by one, the shadow organization’s operations were exposed, their financial assets frozen, and their political ties severed. The coalition, now leaderless and powerless, crumbled under the weight of public scrutiny.For Paulina, the victory felt surreal. Standing in the control room of Nexus headquarters, she watched the news reports flood in with stories of communities flourishing, governments implementing reforms, and a global energy revolution taking root.“It’s over,” she whispered, her voice trembling with a mix of relief and disbelief.Elijah, standing beside her, wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “You did it, Paulina. You’ve changed the world.”She turned to him, tears shining in her eyes.

The weight of the information on the flash drive stayed with Paulina throughout the night. The names and operations laid out in the files confirmed her worst fears this wasn’t just about energy or the coalition. It was a network of power that spanned industries, governments, and borders.By morning, Paulina had made up her mind. She paced the safe house living room, Elijah watching her carefully.“We can’t sit on this,” Paulina said, her voice firm. “The longer we wait, the more damage they can do.”Elijah nodded, though his protective instincts were clearly at war with her determination. “I agree. But if we’re going to act, we need a plan. Rushing in blind will only get us killed.”Paulina stopped pacing, turning to face him. “Then we need to find someone we can trust. Someone with the resources to take this on.”Her father, sitting quietly in the corner, cleared his throat. “I know someone. An old contact who helped me disappear. He has connections in places that matter. If anyone c

Paulina’s heart pounded as her father’s urgent words hung in the air. The tension in the small apartment was suffocating.“Leave? Why?” she demanded, her voice sharp. “You owe me an explanation!”Her father grabbed a small bag from the corner of the room, his movements frantic. “There’s no time. They’ve found me.”“They?” Elijah asked, stepping protectively in front of Paulina. “Who are you running from?”Her father hesitated, his eyes darting to the window as the sound of footsteps approached the building. “The people who’ve been after me for years. The same ones targeting you, Paulina. I didn’t want you involved, but now it’s too late.”Paulina’s chest tightened. “You knew about the coalition?”“They’re just a piece of the puzzle,” he replied. “The real players are far more dangerous.”The footsteps grew louder, and Elijah’s protective instincts kicked in. “We need to move now,” he said firmly.Paulina hesitated, torn between her anger at her father’s years of absence and the clear
Reborn to revenge my cheating Husband Chapter 212: Uncovering the Truth
Paulina barely slept that night. The possibility that her father might still be alive churned in her mind, stirring old memories she had tried to bury. She lay awake, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts racing.Elijah stirred beside her, turning to face her in the dim light. “Paulina,” he said softly, his voice laced with concern. “You’re still awake.”She sighed, her gaze meeting him. “I can’t stop thinking about it. If he’s alive… Why now? Why come back after all these years?”Elijah reached for her hand, his touch warm and reassuring. “We’ll find out. But whatever the reason, you’re not facing it alone.”Paulina gave him a faint smile, her heart aching with gratitude. “I don’t deserve you, Elijah.”“You deserve everything,” he said firmly, leaning in to kiss her forehead.The next morning, Paulina called Leila into her office. “I want you to dig deeper,” she said. “If my father is alive, I need to know where he’s been all these years and why he’s resurfacing now.”Leila nodded, he

Paulina sat on the edge of her bed, the photo still in her hand. The man in the picture her father was a ghost she thought she had buried long ago. She hadn’t spoken of him in years, not even to Elijah. The idea that someone had gone to such lengths to dig into her past filled her with dread.Elijah walked into the room, carrying two mugs of tea. He placed one beside her and crouched down to meet her gaze.“You don’t have to tell me everything right now,” he said gently. “But whatever this is, Paulina, I’m here for you.”She gave him a faint smile, her fingers brushing against his. “Thank you. It’s just… complicated. My father wasn’t a good man, Elijah. If someone’s using him against me, it could get ugly.”Elijah’s jaw tightened. “Then we’ll face it together. Whoever’s doing this doesn’t know who they’re messing with.”Paulina chuckled softly, the sound bittersweet. “You always know how to make me feel stronger, even when I don’t want to.”“That’s because you are strong,” Elijah said

The Kenya site had become a symbol of hope after the coalition’s failed attack. The lights glowing brightly across the village were a testament to the resilience of the Nexus team and the community that had stood with them. For the first time in weeks, Paulina allowed herself to breathe.She sat outside with Elijah that evening, the cool night air brushing against her skin. The stars above seemed brighter, more vivid, as if celebrating their victory.“You’ve been quiet,” Elijah said, his voice soft.Paulina looked at him, a small smile playing on her lips. “I’m just thinking about everything. The coalition, the people we’ve helped… and what’s next.”Elijah reached for her hand, his grip steady. “What’s next is for us to keep building. But you don’t have to carry all of it alone, Paulina. We’re in this together.”She turned to him fully, her heart swelling with gratitude. “You always know what to say. I don’t think I’d have made it this far without you.”Elijah smiled, leaning closer.

The weeks of calm that followed the press conference were a much-needed reprieve for Paulina and her team. Nexus and Horizon were working seamlessly, Horizon X was exceeding expectations, and the communities they served were thriving.But the coalition had not been idle.Elijah entered Paulina’s office late one evening, his face shadowed with concern. He held a tablet, and the data displayed on its screen sent a chill down her spine.“They’re planning something big,” he said, his voice low. “All the chatter we’ve been intercepting points to the original pilot site in Kenya. They want to destroy it, Paulina. Not just to sabotage the system, but to send a message to the world.”Paulina’s stomach tightened. The Kenya site was more than just a project it was a symbol of Nexus’s success and resilience. Losing it would be devastating.“What’s their timeline?” she asked, her tone steady despite the dread building inside her.“Two days,” Elijah replied. “We don’t have much time, but we can ge

Elijah’s recovery was slow but steady. Paulina rarely left his side, her determination to be there for him unwavering. Despite the chaos of the past few days, she managed to juggle overseeing Nexus operations and spending quiet moments with Elijah in the medical bay.“You’re supposed to be resting,” Paulina scolded gently as she entered his room, finding him reviewing security reports.Elijah smirked, his bruised face still carrying its usual confidence. “Resting doesn’t mean doing nothing.”She crossed her arms, her expression softening as she looked at him. “You scared me, Elijah. I thought I’d lose you.”“You won’t,” he said firmly, reaching for her hand. “Not now, not ever.”Paulina sighed, sitting beside him. “I don’t know how you stay so calm. Even after everything.”Elijah smiled faintly. “Because I know you’ll always find a way. You’re unstoppable, Paulina.”Her eyes glistened as she leaned in, their foreheads touching. “And you’re my strength, Elijah. Don’t you dare forget th

The calm after regaining control of Horizon X didn’t last long. Paulina knew the coalition wouldn’t give up so easily. Reports of suspicious activity near a Nexus site in Eastern Europe began trickling in, and the tension in the air was almost unbearable.Elijah entered her office with a file in hand. His expression was serious but calm. “We’ve intercepted chatter about the coalition targeting the Bucharest site. They’re planning something big.”Paulina frowned, her heart sinking. “Do we know what?”“Not yet,” Elijah admitted. “But the site is vulnerable, it's still in its early stages, and the security systems aren’t fully operational. If they hit it now, it could cripple us.”Paulina stood, her resolve hardening. “Then we can’t wait for them to strike. Let’s strengthen the defenses and send reinforcements immediately.”Elijah hesitated for a moment before speaking. “I’ll go personally. If they’re targeting this site, I need to be there to stop them.”Paulina’s heart clenched. “Elija
