REBIRTH TO BECOME TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 30: Checkmate
Back at Justin’s penthouse, Mary paces the marble floor, her arms wrapped tightly around herself. The city lights flicker outside, but all she sees is the storm brewing within the Xander family. Her mind races. Justin’s father, once the voice of reason and strength, now hangs on Zac’s every word. That blind trust feels like a knife twisting in her chest. If Zac gains full control, not only will Justin fall, but Justin will be stripped of everything he’s worked for. His legacy. His father’s respect. His place. And worst of all, she knows they’re running out of time.Mary knows she has to act.She reaches out to Lydia through a secure channel, requesting a discreet meeting. Lydia agrees. Mary’s heels echo in the dim underground parking lot as she approaches her car, fingers fumbling for her keys. A shadow detaches from the wall Zac. His smile is cold, eyes glittering with menace. “Going somewhere, Mary?” he asks, voice low and sharp. Her heart leaps into her throat. “I don’t know what y
REBIRTH TO BECOME TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 31: The fall
Zac sits in a cold, concrete holding cell, stripped of his tailored suits and smug confidence. Gone is the man who once strutted through boardrooms with an air of invincibility. Now, he's just another headline: Fraud. Conspiracy. Cyber crimes. The charges against him mount like a tidal wave, each one a reminder that even the most cunning manipulators can fall. Across the globe, news outlets are abuzz with his downfall. His arrest sends shockwaves through the corporate world, especially within Eclipse Group. What was meant to be a day of coronation for a new CEO ends in silence. I don’t reveal myself. I don’t need to. The chaos is doing exactly what I intended.Lydia stands beside me, arms folded, her posture calm but calculating. We exchanged glances. No words needed. This part of the plan worked perfectly.After the shareholder meeting dissolves in confusion, we head straight to the detention center. Not to gloat though we’d be justified but to see Zac at rock bottom. He sits behind
REBIRTH TO BECOME TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 32: Claws Unsheathed
Back at Justin's penthouse Justin’s father, fed up with the chaos surrounding Eclipse Group, assigns Justin a critical mission.His phone buzzes.A message flashes across the screen. It’s from his father: track down the elusive CEO whose identity remains a mystery and who’s been disrupting their plans from the shadows. Justin’s lips curl into a slow smile.Determined to prove himself, Justin resumes his position in the business world and immediately activates Red Claw, his secret gang trained for covert surveillance and intimidation. Knowing Lydia is the closest link to the hidden CEO, Justin orders the gang to follow her every move. Discreetly, they begin trailing her across the city, monitoring her communications, routines, and contacts, waiting for the moment she slips up and reveals the truth.I came out for a walk only to find myself with an unexpected and volatile with Zac on my way The punch echoes in the empty corridor, a sound sharp enough to silence the world for a breath
REBIRTH TO BECOME TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 33: Mask fall
At that moment the message lands in my inbox, the world seems to still around me, time freezing as my eyes lock onto the screen. It’s a single image Lydia. She’s tied to a chair, her wrists bound tightly, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Her head hangs low, strands of hair clinging to her sweat-slicked face. The room around her is dim, shadowy, ominous. My heart pounds, fury and fear twisting in my gut. But it’s her eyes that gut me the most defiant, unyielding. She’s not broken. Not yet. But if I don’t act now, she soon will be.Attached to the image is a message.“Come alone. Reveal yourself. Or she dies.”It’s signed with Justin’s name. Bastard.My hands clench the edge of my desk, the wood groaning under the pressure. I feel the rage crawl up my spine like wildfire. My lungs tighten, and my vision blurs for a second before I slam the laptop shut and push back from the desk.I storm out of my office, nearly knocking Olivia over as she enters with a file.She sees my fa
REBIRTH TO BECOME TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 34: Blood and loyalty
The alley is too quiet. Too still, like the world is holding its breath. I edge closer, my footsteps silent against the damp concrete. Through a broken window, I catch sight of them, Eddy and Olivia. They're back at the crime scene. Red Claw dragged them here, like bait in a trap. And there he is Justin. Calm, collected, standing like a conductor before a twisted orchestra. He exudes control, his presence chilling. His men form a perfect circle around their captives, guns raised, eyes sharp. There’s no escape.Lydia stands beside Eddy, her posture defiant despite the bruises shadowing her face and the slight limp in her step. Pain hasn’t broken her. Fear hasn’t touched her. She’s still fire. Eddy stands strong, too, though his body is coiled tight, every muscle on edge, his eyes scanning for a miracle.“I know who you are,” Justin says, his voice smooth, laced with venom and certainty. He takes a slow step forward, confidence radiating from every move, like a predator circling its p
REBIRTH TO BECOME TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 35: A warning in Blood
The hospital smells like antiseptic and too much quiet.I sit on the edge of the examination bed, shirt off, blood crusted along my left arm where the bullet grazed me. The sting is sharp, pulsing in steady waves, each one a brutal reminder of how close things came to spiraling out of control. The doctor leans in, inspecting the wound with steady hands and a neutral face.“It’s not serious,” he says, as if that makes it easier to swallow. “Clean shot through the muscle. No fractures. No major arteries hit.”He finishes wrapping the bandage with practiced ease. “You’ll heal fast. But keep the arm rested.”I nod once, but my mind is already moving past the pain, beyond this sterile room. There’s no time to rest. Not when the people I care about are still in danger. Not when Justin is out there, planning his next move. I clench my jaw, the ache in my arm a silent vow.Lydia waits outside the room. When I step into the hallway, she’s pacing, phone clutched in one hand. The moment she sees
REBIRTH TO BECOME TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 36: The Spider's Web Tightens
I’m still in the hospital, my left arm bandaged and resting in a sling, when the door creaks open and Mary steps in like she owns the place.She’s dressed too elegantly for a hospital visit, heels clicking softly against the floor, hair tied back in a sleek bun, her makeup flawless as ever. The smirk on her face tells me she’s not here out of concern.“I heard you got hurt,” she says, voice honeyed with a hint of mockery. “Didn’t expect to find you this… alive.”I raise a brow but say nothing at first. I’ve played this game with Mary before verbal chess, every word a calculated move. I lean back slightly on the bed, letting her take in the image of me, wounded but far from broken.She studies me for a moment, then laughs, soft and dismissive. “You know, Justin told me something insane today. He thinks you’re the new chairman.”I smile, slow and measured. “Does he?”Mary waves it off with a dramatic flick of her hand, stepping closer like she’s about to deliver the punchline of some el
REBIRTH TO BECOME TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 37: Ashes and Escape
The call comes in just after dawn, slicing through the stillness like a blade.Olivia’s voice is tight, brittle with tension. “They got something out of him. Ramon. The mercenary—they broke him.”My heart stops. “What did he give up?” I ask, already dreading the answer.“The hideout.”I don’t hesitate. The pain in my arm is forgotten as I rip the IV from my vein, swinging my legs over the side of the bed. “Pull everyone out. Now. Burn it all. No traces.”“We’re already on it,” she says. “Eddy’s issuing fake passports. I’ve started wiping every trace from the system. But we don’t have long.”I hang up and grab my shirt, struggling with the buttons as the sling restricts my movements. My left arm throbs with every motion, the dull ache a reminder of how close I came to losing control. But there’s no time to dwell on pain adrenaline fuels my every move now. We stayed too long in one place. Grew too comfortable. I should’ve pulled out sooner. Justin’s like a shark he circles the moment he

Chapter 43:Poison and Power Plays
The sun rises sluggishly over the city, but I barely notice it from the safehouse. My body is still healing, my mind restless. I sip lukewarm tea and scroll through the updates Eddy left me. My eyes stop on one word: Thailand. And the name right next to it hits like a cold slap Zac.So he’s made his move.Eddy was right. The moment he got booted from Eclipse, Zac wouldn't disappear quietly. The bastard always had a plan, and now, it seems, he’s gone international.Thailand. Cocaine farms. Justin’s family.That’s not just business it’s legacy. The underbelly of Justin’s empire has always been wrapped in secrecy, guarded by blood and fear. I remember the rumors: jungles hidden behind resorts, farms carved into the hills where poppies bloom and men with guns smile without mercy. It’s not a place for amateurs.Zac’s there now.The report says he landed two nights ago. Was picked up by a man named Kwang a Thai gangster who climbed his way through the dirt, the blood, and the greed. Kwang r
Chapter 42:The Poison of Jealousy
Brianna rushes to block my path, standing between me and the door with a desperate look in her eyes. For a fleeting moment, her presence stirs something in me a whisper of the past, of what could have been. But I shake it off, refusing to let emotion cloud my judgment. Gently, I place a hand on her shoulder and ease her aside, careful not to hurt her but firm enough to make my point. “I have an early morning,” I murmur, adjusting my jacket as I regain my composure. My heart hardens. I can’t afford to be vulnerable. Not now. Not here. Especially not with Brianna watching so closely.She watches me closely, eyes wide and searching, lips slightly parted as if still waiting for the kiss I withheld. The silence between us crackles with unspoken words, heavy with all the things neither of us dares to say. The tension is a living thing, curling in the space between us, thick with what-ifs and regret. I shift my gaze, unable to meet hers for too long without risking my resolve.“I should go,”
Chapter 41:The Edge of Desire
The next day arrives wrapped in a kind of tension I can’t quite shake off. The moment I step out of the car and approach Brianna’s office building, I feel the weight of my decision pressing on my chest. I shouldn't be here not like this, not now but some part of me knows this is necessary. She knows too much. And if she talks… everything I’ve built could unravel.But when she opens the door, all those calculated thoughts take a backseat.Her eyes widen in surprise, then brighten like someone who’s been holding her breath for far too long. “Kelvin…”“Can we talk?” I ask simply, my tone firm but not cold.She steps aside and lets me in without a word.The office is quiet, spacious, filled with soft lighting and neutral tones. Everything about it feels calm and professional, yet I sense the storm beneath her poised demeanor.“I didn’t expect you’d come back,” she says, turning to face me.“I came because I need you to keep what you already know to yourself,” I say directly. “What you kno
Chapter 40: Truth Unfold
Lydia sits across from me, reading off her daily summary like everything is normal like her voice hasn’t been tight since she walked in. She flips through the pages in her folder with calm precision, but something’s off. I know her too well. There’s a hesitation between her sentences, a flicker in her eyes she tries to hide.“And that’s everything for now,” she says finally, closing the file.But it isn’t.She didn’t mention Brianna.I lean back in my chair, arms crossed as I pretend to study her face. “That’s all?”She nods. “Yes.”I let her leave without another word, but the moment the door closes, Olivia slips in with a laptop in her hand.“You’re going to want to see this,” she says, eyes hard.She sets the screen in front of me and hits play. The footage is from yesterday Lydia’s office. The door opens. Brianna walks in.I blink, jaw tightening. “She came here?”Olivia doesn’t say anything. She just watches me, waiting for my reaction.I stare at the screen as the clip plays. Th
Chapter 39: Hearts Laid bare
The rain drums against the windows of the safehouse, a relentless rhythm that matches the pounding in my temples. Three weeks confined to this place, my arm still healing, and the walls are starting to feel like a cage. I don’t hear from Brianna for weeks not that I expect to. After everything with Zac imploded, I figured she’d vanish into whatever corner of the city still tolerated her presence. Her silence is almost a relief.Until it isn’t.Eddy drops the file on the table one morning, a familiar name flashing at the top. “She’s been poking around,” he says. “Trying to contact you. Showed up at Lydia’s office yesterday.”I raise an eyebrow. “Brianna?”He nods. “She’s not doing well. Company’s on the edge. She tried to reach you through corporate back channels, but Lydia intercepted everything.”A quiet hum stirs in my chest. Not quite concern. Not quite anger. “What happened?”Eddy hesitates. “Let’s just say… it didn’t end with hugs.”I lean back in my chair, fingers threading t
Chapter 38: Beaten Dog
I watch from the window as rain streaks down the glass, distorting the city lights into bleeding colors. My injured arm throbs in time .Behind me, Olivia's fingers fly across her keyboard, the rhythmic tapping the only sound in the tense silence. "Another day playing housewife," she mutters, pushing her glasses up her nose. "When do I get to burn something again?" Eddy doesn't look up from cleaning his pistol. "When the boss says so." I flex my bandaged hand. The stitches pull at my skin.The goal is to lay low. For once, I follow through.No moves. No retaliation. No whispers. Just silence.We go underground deep. The safehouse Lydia found is remote, shielded by dense trees and accessible only by one winding road that’s rarely traveled. It’s quiet here. Too quiet, sometimes. But that’s the point. No cameras, no curious neighbors, no digital footprint. Just us, hidden in the silence while the world outside spins on without us.Lydia steps up without hesitation. She takes the rei
