She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare
Rachel gave everything to her husband.
Her love.
Her kidney.
Her silence and her all.
So when she finally regained her hearing, she never expected the first thing she’d hear would be her husband’s betrayal Nathan, tangled in another woman’s arms, calling her a burden he was tired of carrying.
That night, Rachel walked out with nothing but a broken heart and a body already marked as sacrifice.
Nathan thought that was the end of her story, but he was wrong.
Years later, Rachel returns not as the woman he discarded, but as Belira Williams, the hidden heiress of DroneCode, the most powerful tech empire in the world. Richer, colder, and untouchable.
This time, she isn’t here to beg for any reason. She’s here to ruin him for good.
With secrets sharp enough to destroy reputations and a past Nathan never bothered to uncover, Rachel begins her revenge, slow, deliberate, and merciless.
He once called her useless, now she’s the woman standing between him and everything he thought he owned.
And this time… she’s not leaving quietly.

Chapter: Chapter 94: An Evening to Remember I stepped out of my study and found Angel and Anna sitting on the carpet with their toys scattered around them, while Rachel sat on the sofa, keeping an eye on Julie and Raymond as their nanny prepared their feeding bottles.The moment the girls noticed me, Angel raised her head and smiled.“Daddy, are you finished with your work now, or are you going back inside that room to look at your computer again?” she asked.I laughed softly, walking toward them with a mischievous smile.“Not today, princess, because I have decided that all of us are going out, and I want you two to get up immediately, take your baths if you haven't already, and put on your prettiest clothes before I change my mind,” I said.For a moment, the girls stared at me as though they were trying to determine whether I was serious, but when they realized I meant every word, they jumped up with excited screams.“Really, Daddy? We are going out?” Anna asked.“Yes, sweetheart, we are going out, and I don't want anybody t

Chapter: Chapter 93By the time Rachel and I arrived home, the exhaustion of the day had settled heavily on both of us, and all I wanted was to spend a few peaceful hours with my family without thinking about the company, the government seizure, or Betty's endless schemes.Unfortunately, peace seemed to be the one thing Betty was determined to take away from us.Rachel walked into the living room and immediately smiled when she saw Julie and Raymond playing with their nanny, while Angel and Anna sat on the carpet, arguing playfully over a toy they had apparently decided belonged to both of them.“Mommy!” the girls shouted together when they noticed Rachel, rushing toward her with their little arms stretched out.Rachel bent down to embrace them, laughing as they nearly knocked her off balance, while I stood behind her, watching the scene with a warmth I had not felt throughout the entire day.“Careful, girls, your mommy is tired, so you need to give her a little breathing space before you smother her wit

Chapter: Chapter 92“Hello, Dad, what's up? You haven't called me in such a long time that I was beginning to wonder whether you had forgotten that you still have a son, so tell me, what happened, and should I be worried that I'm suddenly in trouble?” I asked as I answered the call, leaning back in my chair while everyone in the boardroom watched me with curiosity.There was a brief silence before my father's familiar laughter came through the phone, and I could already imagine him sitting comfortably in his favourite chair, probably holding a cup of tea while pretending that he had called simply because he missed me.“I heard that you're in trouble, Dave, and I wanted to find out what exactly is happening before your mother hears about it and begins making a hundred different calls to people who have nothing to do with your business,” he said, his amusement obvious in his voice.I frowned, straightening in my chair as I glanced at Rachel, who was still reviewing the seizure documents beside me.“Dad, wh

Chapter: Chapter 91: The Enemy Behind the GovernmentRachel sat silently in the passenger seat as Dave drove toward her company, her eyes fixed on the buildings passing outside the window while her mind struggled to find a way out of the trouble that had suddenly surrounded them. Only a few hours earlier, she had been discussing business expansion and future investments with him, but now their companies were facing government investigations, their assets had been seized, and their reputations were hanging in the balance.She had fought too hard to rebuild her life to watch everything collapse again, especially when she had no clear idea how far their enemy was willing to go.Dave glanced at her briefly before returning his attention to the road, noticing the tension in her expression and the way her fingers tightened around her handbag whenever she remembered Betty's threatening voice.“Rachel, I know this situation is frightening, but I promise you that I won't allow anyone to destroy everything you have worked for,” he said, his voice

Chapter: Chapter 90: You Will Beg at My FeetRachel’s POV Dave and I arrived at the government agency with our legal representatives, and the moment we stepped inside, he approached one of the officials standing near the reception desk, his expression cold and impatient as he demanded to see the person in charge. "We want to see your boss right now, because both our companies have had their assets seized, and we deserve an explanation for what is happening," Dave said. The official looked at him briefly before directing us toward the office at the end of the corridor, and Dave took my hand as we walked inside, making it clear that he had no intention of allowing anyone to intimidate us. The man sitting behind the desk looked up from his documents when we entered, and after recognizing Dave, he leaned back in his chair with a polite but distant expression. "Good afternoon, Mr. Dave and Miss Berila, how can I help you?" the official asked. Dave stepped forward, placing the seizure notice on the desk before speaking. "

Chapter: Chapter 89: The Government's Sudden AttackRachel’s POVAfter breakfast, Dave and I said goodbye to the children before leaving for work, and although we were heading to different companies."Please remember that I am still your husband, Rachel, even if you insist on reminding me every morning that you might divorce me, because I intend to spend the rest of my life proving that you made the right decision when you chose me," Dave said.I shook my head and opened my car door, trying to hide the smile that threatened to appear on my face."You should spend more time managing your company and less time making promises, because I have already heard enough beautiful words to last me a lifetime, and what I need from you now is honesty rather than another speech about how much you love me," I replied.He raised his hands in surrender before stepping away from the car and i drove off Unfortunately, the moment my car stopped outside the company building, I realized that something was wrong.Several employees were gathered near the ent

Chapter: Chapter Eight: They Came to Steal My ShelterEveryone was still staring at me as though I had risen from the dead, and honestly, I couldn't blame them. Seven hours earlier, I had been bitten by an infected man, my veins had turned black, and Ryan had practically prepared himself to watch me transform into a monster. Yet here I was, sitting on the couch with a normal heartbeat and a wound that looked as though it had already begun healing.Alex was still unconscious on the floor.“Is he going to wake up, or should we pour water on him?” I asked, glancing at Ryan.Ryan barely heard me. He was too busy examining my hand for the third time, his eyebrows drawn together in deep concentration.“Selena, this doesn't make sense,” he murmured. “Your blood tested positive for the pathogen, and you were bitten directly by someone in the advanced stage of infection. You should be showing serious symptoms by now, but your temperature is normal, your pulse is steady, and the dark veins have completely disappeared.”“Then perhaps you should sto

Chapter: Chapter Seven: The Bite That Changed Everything“Ryan, you cannot bring that man inside!” I said, standing in front of the entrance with my arms spread.Alex stared at me as if I had lost my mind. Two men stood behind him, supporting an injured security officer whose face was pale and whose breathing came in painful gasps. Dark veins spread from a wound on his neck, disappearing beneath his collar.“Please, listen to me,” Alex pleaded. “His name is Daniel, and he worked at the research facility. He helped us escape when everything went wrong. If we leave him outside, he will die.”“And if he turns into one of those monsters inside my shelter, all of us could die with him!” I snapped. “Do you have any idea how long it took me to prepare this place? I'm not going to risk everyone's life because you feel guilty about leaving your friend behind.”“He is not just my friend. He saved my life!” Alex shouted.“Then you should have thought about that before bringing him here!”“Selena, enough,” Ryan interrupted, stepping between us. “Nobody

Chapter: Chapter Six: The People at My DoorI was still laughing when Alex’s frustrated voice came through Ryan’s phone again.“Ryan, are you sure you gave us the correct location? Because we are in the middle of an actual nowhere! There is no house here, no building, not even a proper road. Are you trying to get us killed?” Alex complained.Ryan glanced at me, amusement spreading across his face. “You're in the middle of an actual nowhere?” he repeated.“Stop laughing at me and tell me where you are!” Alex snapped.“Don't worry, I'm coming out now,” Ryan replied.“Okay, come out fast. There are a lot of us here,” Alex said.My smile disappeared.“A lot?” I repeated, turning toward Ryan. “What does he mean by a lot? How many people did you invite here?”“Probably four or five,” Ryan answered as he headed toward the entrance.“Probably?” I exclaimed. “You invited strangers into my shelter without even knowing how many are coming?”Ryan stopped and faced me. “Selena, calm down. We are all trying to help, okay? These people are my

Chapter: Chapter Five: My Shelter, My Rules “Doctor Ryan, we have a serious problem at the research facility!”The voice coming through the car speakers was so frantic that Ryan immediately straightened in his seat.“Alex, slow down and tell me what happened,” he said.“Someone broke into the research factory, sir. Several contaminated people have entered the facility, and the security team is losing control. We've already had two explosions, and I don't think we can hold them back much longer,” Alex replied.Ryan tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “Have you contacted the emergency response team?” he asked.“Yes, but the lines are overwhelmed. We need to get everyone out before the entire facility becomes a death trap,” Alex answered.Ryan glanced at me before returning his attention to the road.“Do you have somewhere safe to go?” he asked. There was a brief silence before Alex responded.“That is why I'm calling you, sir. Do you know anywhere we can regroup? Somewhere we can examine the infected patients without being

Chapter: Chapter Four: The Doctor Who Refused to DieThe infected man lunged at Ryan so suddenly that I barely had time to scream.“Ryan, behind you!” I shouted.He ducked just as the creature's fingers clawed through the air above his head. Ryan grabbed its arm, twisted sharply, and slammed it against the stairwell railing. The infected man shrieked, snapping his teeth at Ryan's face.“Get back!” Ryan yelled at me.I stumbled backward, nearly losing my footing on the stairs. The infected man was stronger than he looked, and Ryan was struggling to hold him back.Then I noticed the fire extinguisher mounted on the wall.I snatched it off its bracket and swung it with all my strength. The metal cylinder struck the infected man's head with a sickening thud. He staggered, releasing Ryan, who immediately shoved him down the stairs.The body tumbled several steps before crashing against the wall. For a moment, I stared at the extinguisher in my hands. Ryan looked at me in disbelief.“You just hit an infected patient with a fire extinguish

Chapter: Chapter Three: Infected on the First DaySelena's povI stared at the television, my fingers tightening around the remote as the news anchor announced the first cases of the mysterious infection.“Authorities are urging residents to remain indoors. Several patients have displayed extreme aggression following exposure to an unknown pathogen. The source is believed to be an explosion at a pharmaceutical research facility.”I slowly lowered the remote, wait a second, The apocalypse was two weeks early.“This is impossible or did it change because of me.”I had remembered the date. I had planned everything around it, from the supplies in my underground shelter to the moment I would finally be safe from the people who had destroyed my previous life.But something had changed.And I had no idea what it was.I stood up and checked the security cameras. The road outside was far from quiet, although people had begun gathering around the nearby shops. My shelter was secure, and I had enough food to survive for months, but I had forgot

Chapter: Chapter Thirteen: The Woman Thorne Rejected Lily’s POVI had barely finished resting when Mia rushed into my room, her face filled with the kind of excitement that made me suspect something unpleasant had happened somewhere in the palace.“Lady Seraphina is going to Lord Thorne’s chambers, and from the way she is dressed, I doubt she intends to discuss anything with him,” she said.I paused while fastening the buttons on my sleeve, wondering why my sister would suddenly seek out the man she had spent years looking down upon, especially when she had shown so much interest in Axel during breakfast.“What makes you think she is going to seduce him?” I asked.Mia hesitated before answering, perhaps wondering whether she should tell me what she had heard, but her loyalty to me seemed to win over her fear of spreading gossip.“She asked one of the maids which corridor leads to Lord Thorne’s private chambers, and she specifically told the maid not to inform anyone about her visit,” she explained. “She has also changed her dress twice

Chapter: Chapter TwelveThe moment Mia helped me back into my room, I could no longer pretend that I was fine. I let go of her arm, stumbled toward the bed, and collapsed onto the mattress, burying my face in the pillow as the tears I had been holding back finally escaped.I had endured insults from my family for years, but somehow, hearing them praise Seraphina while using my existence as an example of weakness had hurt more than I expected. My father had sat at that table and watched Axel strike me without saying a word. He had watched me defend myself for the first time in my life, yet he had offered me no comfort, no apology, not even a single word to acknowledge what I had suffered.Perhaps I had been foolish to hope that things would be different simply because I had been sent to another kingdom."My lady, why are you crying?" Mia asked, sitting beside me with concern in her voice. "Please, calm down. What happened? Did someone hurt you again?"I wiped my cheeks with the back of my hand, but more tears

Chapter: Chapter 11Seraphina povI watched Axel's face tighten with anger as lily continued to provoke everyone around her, and I knew he was only a moment away from saying something that would turn the banquet into a battlefield.I stood up and reached for his arm, hoping to calm him before things got worse.“Axel, calm down. You know she's my sister,” I said gently.He turned toward me, and although his expression softened slightly, the disappointment in his eyes remained.“Yes, I'm not that angry, Seraphina. I'm just disappointed. How can a sweet soul like you have a sister who is so worthless?” he replied.I couldn't help laughing at his words, even though the atmosphere around us had become unbearably tense."Seraphina, my sweet sister, if you came here thinking you could marry Thorne, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you're too late. I'm already mated to Thorne, and it's no longer something I'm afraid to admit,” I said, turning toward her voice. “Yes, I'm mated to Thorne, and I'm having an aff

Chapter: Chapter Tenlily's povThorne brushed his palm over my head, his fingers moving gently through my hair before he told me to go to sleep."Get some rest, Lily. You've had enough trouble for one day," he said."Yes, I'll go to sleep, but you should return to your chambers as well," I replied. "If someone sees you here, they will think we're having an affair, and I don't need another reason for people to insult me."Thorne laughed, the deep, careless sound filling the room. "Who doesn't already know we're having an affair? And why should I hide it when you belong to me now? You're my marked mate, Lily, and you will forever be mine."My cheeks burned with anger at his confidence. "You cannot simply decide everything for me because of a mark I never asked for," I said.His laughter faded, and his expression grew serious. "You may argue with me as much as you like, but listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you. If Axel tries to come near you with the intention of hurting you, I will make sure he n

Chapter: Chapter Nine — The Kiss That Silenced His Wolflily's pov I tried to turn my face away, but Thorne kissed me again, his hand resting against my cheek as he held me close. My mind was filled with confusion, yet I couldn't stop thinking about Axel's words at the feast.She is nothing more than a slave, a plaything.I remembered how he had humiliated me in front of everyone, how Miranda had kicked me while the guests laughed, and how not a single person had tried to help me until Thorne arrived.What do I have left to lose? I wondered. Axel has already made it clear that I mean nothing to him. Wouldn't it be better to stay beside someone who might actually protect me?Thorne kissed me again, leaving me struggling to catch my breath. I pressed my hands against his chest, trying to create some distance between us.“Thorne, please, let me catch my breath,” I said.He immediately stopped and lifted his head.“Are you all right?” he asked.“Yes. I just need a moment,” I replied.He moved away slightly, breathing heavily. Then he looked s

Chapter: Chapter Eight — No One Touches What Is MineAxel's POVThe moment Thorne disappeared from the feast with Lily in his arms, I slammed my fist against the table so hard that the glasses jumped and several people around me flinched.I could barely hear the anything anymore. My blood was boiling.My pride had been dragged through the mud in front of the entire clan, and the person responsible was my own younger brother.I turned toward my father. “Father, have you seen what your son is doing?” I demanded, my voice shaking with fury. “He took my woman from me in front of everyone. He did not even have enough respect for the crown prince, the heir of the Ashford clan, to listen when I ordered him to put her down.” My father remained silent. That silence only made my anger worse. “His insolence is becoming too much. He is stepping on my nerves, stepping on my authority, and stepping on everything I stand for. You need to talk to your son before I am forced to do it myself,” I said.The king's expression hardened. “Ax
