Chapter 10

Jayden Lewis stood there, eyes vacant and his entire body trembling. I had never seen him like this before. In our circle, he was always the most carefree, the one who couldn't care less about rules and authority. Wherever he went, he stood out as the proudest and the most rebellious among us.

In my youthful naivety, I secretly wished more than once. I wished that Jayden would notice me, treat me a bit better. I wished for Selah Martin to stay far away from him, not to return and disrupt whatever connection we had. I dreamt of marrying Jayden Lewis.

If, on any given day, he had smiled at me, just adjusted his attitude a bit, I would have forgotten every grievance and tear, and continued to revolve around him tirelessly, unfailingly. But now, he couldn't let go of me. Now, he was the one pleading with me not to leave. Finally, I mattered to him. Yet all I felt was absurdity, an indescribable disgust and revulsion.

"Lilah..." Jayden reached for my hand, but just as he was about to touch me, his hand froze in the air. His hands were the hands of a spoiled playboy. Once upon a time, mine were as well.

But now, my hands were twisted at the joints, scarred, with calluses where blisters used to be. They weren't pretty anymore, but they were stronger. Like flowers once nurtured in a controlled environment, when taken outside, they don't necessarily wilt away.

Reborn To Marry The Ruined Billionaire Novel Cover
9.5
Janet woke up gasping, the phantom fire of a deadly explosion still scorching her lungs. She had been reborn three years in the past, on the exact day her mother forced her into a marriage contract with Gaylord Bradford, a paralyzed and severely disfigured billionaire. Before she could even process her second chance, her cousin Kandy kicked the bedroom door open, flaunting a massive diamond ring. Kandy, who had also been reborn, smugly announced she had stolen Janet's Wall Street golden boy fiancé, Jax Adler. "You're going to marry that paralyzed monster," Kandy spat, gloating that she would build a billionaire dynasty with Jax while Janet wiped drool off a rotting corpse. Kandy expected Janet to have a complete mental collapse, completely unaware that Gaylord's own medical team was secretly injecting him with lethal neurotoxins to finish him off. But Janet only felt a cold, clinical pity. Kandy's "prophetic" memories were a polluted lie. Jax was actually sterile and dying of irreversible kidney failure, while Gaylord wasn't a dying freak—he was a dormant god whose body was merely in a high-dimensional hibernation. Why would Janet mourn losing a doomed fraud? Leaving her delusional cousin behind, Janet packed her bags and headed straight to Gaylord's maximum-security military cell. She physically tackled his corrupt doctor, drove three bio-electric silver needles into the crippled king's spine to awaken his deadened nerves, and looked him dead in his glacial blue eye. "Sign the marriage contract," Janet whispered. "I will make you walk again, and we will take back everything."
