Reborn As The Cold Villain's Daughter

I woke up suffocating in the dark, only to find my mind trapped inside a tiny, plump, and entirely uncoordinated body. A cold, mechanical voice echoed in my brain, announcing that I was dead in my original world and had transmigrated into a corporate revenge novel as the six-month-old illegitimate daughter of Edward McClure, the story's ruthless villain. The system mercilessly outlined my doomed fate. Tonight, my cold-blooded father would abandon me to a state orphanage. By age two, he would officially sign my rights away, leaving me to die miserably at the hands of human traffickers. Outside my nursery, I could hear his terrifying footsteps approaching, his voice devoid of any human warmth as he debated throwing me out like garbage. I was completely helpless, trapped in a baby's body, staring up at a man who looked at me with pure, visceral disgust. Why did I have to be reborn as the tragic cannon fodder of a tyrant destined to put a bullet in his own head? How was I supposed to win over a severe germaphobe when my unequipped infant reflexes made me literally pee and vomit all over his pristine Tom Ford suits? "Your ultimate mission is to prevent Edward McClure's self-destruction. Step one: Survive tonight's abandonment crisis." Hearing the system's terrifying ultimatum, I swallowed my adult panic, forced a pool of pitiful tears into my large eyes, and reached my chubby little hands toward the monster.

Chapters

Chapter 6

Hayley sucked the last drop of the clumpy formula down. She pulled off the nipple and let out a loud, satisfying burp. The heavy weight of the milk in her stomach immediately triggered a wave of intense exhaustion. Her eyelids fluttered shut, and she fell asleep almost instantly.

Edward stared at the empty bottle in his hand. He tossed it into the stainless steel sink with a loud clatter. It felt like he had just negotiated a hostile takeover.

He turned back to the bar. Hayley was fast asleep, wrapped tight in the ruined cashmere.

But the smell was still there. The faint, sharp odor of urine lingered in the air, scratching at his germaphobia.

There was absolutely no way he was changing a diaper.

He pulled his phone from his robe pocket and dialed his executive assistant, Corinne.

It was 2:00 AM. She answered on the second ring, her voice crisp and wide awake. "Mr. McClure. What do you need?"

"Fire the entire domestic staff," Edward ordered, his voice flat. "All of them."

"Understood," Corinne replied without missing a beat. "Severance will be wired by morning. Reason for termination?"

"Gross negligence," Edward snapped. "I need a new team. Specifically, a head nanny with a pediatric nursing degree and a Level One background check."

"I'll have a premium childcare team at the penthouse in thirty minutes." Corinne promised.

Edward hung up. He didn't look at Hayley again. He walked straight up the stairs, locked himself in his master bathroom, and turned the shower on scalding hot.

Hayley slept through the noise. The exhaustion of the infant body kept her under until a soft, warm sensation woke her up.

She opened her eyes. The cold marble counter was gone. She was lying in a brand-new, pristine crib. The wet, uncomfortable diaper had been replaced, and she was wearing a soft, dry cotton sleep sack.

A middle-aged woman in a crisp, gray uniform stood over her, holding a digital thermometer.

The woman smiled warmly. "Good morning, little angel. I'm Martha, your new nanny."

Hayley looked around. The nursery had been completely reorganized. Everything was spotless, and the air smelled faintly of lavender.

System update, the voice chimed in her head. Edward utilized his wealth to replace the entire staff at 3:00 AM.

Martha logged the temperature on an iPad. Hayley's stomach gave a small rumble. The terrible formula from last night hadn't lasted long.

Martha immediately walked over to the prep station to mix a fresh, perfectly measured bottle.

The nursery door opened.

Edward walked in. He was dressed in a flawless navy-blue bespoke suit, his tie perfectly knotted, his hair slicked back. He looked like a man ready to conquer the world.

He adjusted his cufflinks, his cold eyes sweeping over the clean room before landing on Martha.

Martha bowed her head respectfully. "Mr. McClure. The young miss's vitals are normal. I am preparing her morning feed."

Edward gave a short, dismissive nod. He turned on his heel, ready to leave for the office.

Warning! the system blared. Mandatory bonding task initiated. Do not let him leave without interaction!

Hayley panicked. She kicked her legs hard, throwing off the light blanket. She took a deep breath and let out a sharp, loud, "Ah!"

The sound cracked through the quiet room.

Edward's foot hovered over the threshold. He froze, his back stiffening.

My fated mate looked me in the eyes and rejected me in front of the entire pack. Then they threw me out like trash. I thought being left for dead in rogue territory was the worst that could happen. I was wrong. The rogues dragged me to their prison island and delivered me straight to him-their ruthless Alpha. He wants me as his mate. I refuse. So now I'm his captive. His possession. Locked away in his fortress while he waits for me to break. But he doesn't know who he's dealing with. I survived my pack's betrayal. I'll survive him too.

Julien was like a brother to me. Harvey, his father, was my legal guardian. The accusation made no sense. Just as they were about to strip me naked for their audience, Harvey arrived, his face a mask of thunder. But the real shock came later, when a terrified Kaitlyn confessed the truth. The attack wasn't about jealousy. It was a calculated act of revenge for a decades-old family feud, and Harvey's own son, Julien, was the secret mastermind who had set me up to be destroyed.
