Rebom
Adrian’s POV
I had been reborn. I didn’t know how. One moment, I was dying. The next, I opened my eyes and found myself back in a
twentieth body.
And there was my father, staring at me just like he had before. His words were exactly the same.
“Choose between Selene Moray and Elara Quinn. Whichever one you pick… she will be your wife.”
Last time, I’d done what he wanted. I’d chosen Selene. She was the smart choice. Sharp. Steady. Kind.
And yet… my heart had always belonged to Elara.
I regretted it, every single day in my past life. Elara died on a mission before I ever had the chance to make things right.
This time, I swore I’d do better. I wouldn’t just blindly obey. I’d choose Elara. I’d give her the happy ending she never got.
And to my surprise, Selene… she wasn’t the same either.
In the past, she had always smiled at me. Even when we fought and we did–she’d always come back, always be the one to
break first.
But now? Now she looked at me like I was the villain in her story.
And a strange and wile idea hit me: Maybe I wasn’t the only one reborn. Maybe Selene was too.
So I tested it. When Father suggested I marry her, I said no. I expected tears or at least a sad look.
But Selene didn’t even blink this time. She just nodded and said, “You deserve to be with the woman you truly love.”
That was the moment I knew. She was reborn, too. And that… that worked perfectly for me.
If Selene was willing to walk away, I could finally have Elara.
Everything unfolded just as I’d planned. I convinced Father. He agreed to the marriage–though I suspect it had less to do with me, and everything to do with Selene stepping aside.
As I thought everything was perfect, Elara began to complain. “Why is Selene still involved in the family business?” she
asked.
