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.”

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 weight of the selection loomed over Paulina as she sat watching her laptop. The glow of the display screen pondered her involved expression, casting shadows on her face. She had all of the evidence she needed to reveal James—emails, economic statistics, secret deals. Yet, something held her again.Her thoughts saved returning to Elijah’s phrases. He wanted her to behave, to strike now earlier than James may want to pull any more strings. But why turned into him so eager? He had been relentless in pushing her to confront James, however she needed to assume cautiously.

Her cell phone buzzed, startling her from he

  • Reborn to revenge my cheating Husband    Chapter 12: Lines Are Drawn

    Paulina watched as Alexis disappeared into the darkness, her cruel phrases still echoing in her thoughts. Her body trembled, no longer just from the cold however from the fear that gripped her tightly. Alexis had laid it naked—this wasn’t just about enterprise anymore. It became a non-public war, and the stakes have been higher than she had ever imagined. The thought of Alexis and James operating collectively to break her made her belly twist, however there was something else—something unspoken—that chilled her even more.

The quiet streets and dim street lights felt suffocating now, the air thick with coming near doom. Every shadow seem

  • Reborn to revenge my cheating Husband    Chapter 13: Into the Lion’s Den

    Paulina stood frozen inside the doorway, her eyes darting from James to Alexis. The smirk on James' face sent a kick back down her spine, however it turned into Alexis’ conceited, almost amused expression that twisted the knife even deeper. She had walked properly into their entice, just like Elijah had warned—but something came off. This wasn't like a commercial enterprise meeting.James leaned lower back in his chair, casually crossing his hands. “I didn’t expect you to show up here so early, Paulina,” he said, his voice dripping with condescension. “But I think all of us knew it might come to this subsequently.”Paulina swallowed difficulty, forcing herself to hold her composure. She couldn’t afford to allow them to see her fear. “I know what you’re doing, James,” she stated, her voice steadier than she felt. “And I’m no longer going to permit you to escape with it.”James raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a grin. “And what exactly do you watch you’re preventing?”Paulina’s

    Elijah’s surprising appearance modified the ecosystem inside the room. The anxiety that had been suffocating Paulina shifted, however it didn’t ease. If anything, it thickened. His calm, measured steps as he walked toward her sent a ripple via the room. Even James and Alexis exchanged quick glances, their confidence wavering for the first time. Elijah stopped beside Paulina, his tall body towering over her. His expression became unreadable, however his presence was effective.Paulina’s heart raced. She wasn’t sure whether to experience remedy or tension. She had known Elijah as her best friend, however these days, she couldn’t shake the developing sense of unease around him. He had been pushing her to behave quickly, but now that he turned into her, she wondered: Was he without a doubt right here to help her? Or had she made a mistake trusting him?“Elijah,” James stated, breaking the silence. He forced a grin, even though it didn’t reach his eyes. “I wasn’t waiting to see you here.”

    Paulina’s fingers shook as she gripped the guidance wheel, her heart nonetheless racing from her surprising break out. The resort loomed behind her within the rearview mirror, and with it, the chaos she had left at the back of. She didn’t recognise where she became driving to, or what her subsequent circulate could be, however she needed to escape from James, Alexis, and even Elijah. She couldn’t accept it as true with any of them.Her mind became spinning with confusion. Elijah’s betrayal cut the innermost. She had leaned on him, allowing him to guide her through this maze of deception, and now she wasn’t certain what his genuine motives were. He had claimed to be protecting her, however had he certainly? Or had he just been gambling his own recreation, the usage of her as a pawn like anybody else?The streets had been empty as she drove through the early morning haze, the metropolis still quiet and asleep. The bloodless dawn air seeped into the car, making her shiver, but she didn’t

    The anxiety within the room was thick as James and Alexis made their manner to their seats at the opposite give up of the table. James regarded each bit the picture of self assurance, his smile by no means faltering as he greeted the board participants with a casual nod. Alexis, but, wore a predatory smile that sent a sit back down Paulina’s backbone. It changed into as if she knew something nobody else did—as though victory changed into already hers.Paulina clenched her fingers in her lap, keeping her expression neutral even though her heart became pounding. She couldn’t allow them to see her fear. Not nowadays. She had prepared for this moment, but no amount of preparation may have wanted to prevent the sinking feeling that settled in her belly as James sat down, his eyes sparkling with cold calculation.The board participants murmured to each other, without a doubt sensing the anxiety but unsure of its reason. Paulina could see them glancing between her and James, uncertain of wha

    Paulina stood in the empty boardroom, air heavy with the aftermath of what had simply taken place. Her heart was nevertheless pounding, the adrenaline coursing via her veins making her experience each exhausted and on part. She had achieved it—she had uncovered James for the liar he was. But in preference to feeling effective, a feel of dread crept over her. His final phrases echoed in her mind: “You must be afraid.”She knew that this wasn’t over. James wasn’t the sort to backpedal easily, especially while his popularity and control have been at stake. And Alexis—she could see the boastful look on her face, the self belief that hadn’t wavered even after Paulina had presented the evidence. What did they do deliberately? What became James going to do subsequently?Paulina took a deep breath and amassed her matters. The board might review the documents she had proven them, but there was no telling how lengthy that would take or if they might even aspect along with her. Despite the evide

  • Reborn to revenge my cheating Husband    Chapter 215: The Light Prevails

    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

    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
