Chapter 2

I lowered my eyes and gave a slight smile.

"Jayden, thank you for arranging for Joel to pick me up at the airport."

"Lilah?"

"I came today because I want to return this to you."

I pulled a small box from my coat pocket and held it out to him. It was a necklace from a high-end brand, the only birthday gift Jayden had ever given me. I had treasured it, wearing it only on my birthdays. But now, I no longer wanted it.

Jayden didn’t reach for it, staying seated with a stony expression, his lips pressed into a thin line. After a moment of hesitation, I placed the box on the table next to him.

"Lilah, your hand..."

The girl closest to me gasped softly, her concern clear in her voice. Jayden’s attention was immediately drawn to my hand. It was covered with cracked skin. Once delicate fingers were now marked by blisters that had hardened into rough scabs, twisted and unpleasant to look at.

I quickly tucked my hand back into the sleeve of my sweater and looked up at Jayden again.

"Jayden, there’s one last thing I wanted to talk about today."

"What is it?" His voice was icy, slicing through the air.

"I must have been a burden to you all these years."

I gave him a regretful smile.

"In the past, I was immature and stubborn. I'm sorry for that."

"It won’t happen again."

With that, I didn't stay any longer and turned to leave. Just as I was crossing the threshold, Jayden called out to me.

"Lilah."

"You better mean it this time. No more false promises."

I paused for a moment but didn't look back.

"Alright."

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."
