Chapter 8

Author: Roaring River
I smiled. Then, I turned to look at Lyra, whose expression had gone tense.

However, I had no intention of exposing her. For his so-called choice and his undying affection were things I deemed worthless.

"Is that so?" I asked flatly. "In that case… I hope you both get what you desire. May you stay locked together for the rest of your miserable lives!"

My reaction completely infuriated Rowan.

"Sylvia Laurent!" he snapped, dropping all pretenses. "Don't push your luck! I'm the head of the Bl

  • Double Rebirth: From His Wife to His Brother's Bride   Chapter 10

    "The one I liked has always been you. But I realized it too late, didn't I?" Rowan asked."When I saw you throw yourself toward Adrian without a second thought, using your body to shield him, I knew… I had missed my chance. I had completely lost you."I listened quietly, without a single ripple of emotion in my heart. "That's all in the past now, Rowan."He stared long and hard at me. After a while, as if he had finally made up his mind, he slowly rose to his feet. "I'll give up all inheritance rights to the Blackwood family," he announced. "I've already spoken to Father and Adrian."My brows drew together. He continued, "I've decided to become a priest. I'll atone for the sins I committed in my last life and this one. I'll never come back."His decision was somewhat beyond my expectations, but I didn't speak up to dissuade him. This was the path he had chosen. This was his repentance. He slowly walked up to me and looked at me. His eyes were filled with unreadable emotions. U

    At that moment, Mr. Julian could no longer hold himself back. Trembling, he rose to his feet and pointed at Rowan before choking out, "You fool! Even now, you still refuse to see the truth! Why do you think I favored Adrian all these years? Do you think it was only because he's my eldest son?"Mr. Julian's voice cracked with anger and sorrow. "It's because your life belongs to your brother! In that fire all those years ago, the person who charged into the flames and carried you out on his back wasn't Lyra; it was Adrian!""What?" Rowan felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning. He whipped his head toward Adrian, then toward Lyra beside him, whose face had gone deathly pale. "That's impossible! It was obviously Lyra who…""When he rescued you, he inhaled a massive amount of smoke, causing permanent damage to his respiratory tract and lungs! He almost collapsed and died himself!" Mr. Julian's voice rose, carrying the crushing weight of a grief he had kept buried for years.

I'm the head of the Blackwood family now. If I want to crush you, it's easier than crushing an ant! You—""Oh? Is that so?" Just then, a cool, indifferent voice drifted from the doorway. "I would certainly like to know how you plan to crush my fiancee."Everyone was frozen in place. In the very next moment, they snapped their heads around to look at the entrance of the conference room. The anger and arrogance on Rowan's face froze in a heartbeat.There, right at the entrance, backlit by the light, a lean but comma

    After the funeral, Rowan completely dropped his act. Asserting himself more aggressively than ever before, he wasted no time taking command of most of the affairs and resources Adrian had left behind. He began to frequent the group headquarters, wining and dining the old board members while freezing out anyone who dared oppose him.Adrian's death had practically paved the way for him, removing his very last hurdle. It was obvious he had been scheming for this for ages. A new era had dawned on the Blackwood family. Barely a month had passed before Rowan, backed by a majority of the group's shareholders, openly turned on Mr. Julian at a board meeting. Using excuses that Mr. Julian was advanced in years, devastated by the loss of his beloved son, and no longer mentally fit, Rowan demanded that his father step down from his position as chairman of the group so that he could take over. The air in the conference room was thick with tension. Mr. Julian trembled with rage as he looked

    "Quickly, drive Mr. Adrian and Ms. Laurent home!" Cyrus hurriedly ordered the bodyguards. "Have the doctor wait at the annex!"On the way home, Adrian held my hand the entire time. His hand was cold, but his grip was firm. "Why did you come?" he asked in a low voice. "How did you know something would happen to me?"I leaned against the back seat, and my body ached all over. Yet, I felt safer than I ever had before. "I figured… Before I headed out, I told Cyrus that something might happen today and asked him to keep a close eye on your whereabouts."Adrian was silent for a moment before he sighed softly. "You're very smart."My consciousness began to blur. Then, I heard a deep, crisp voice ring out next to my ear. "I won't let anyone hurt you again."…After that attempted kidnapping, Adrian and I grew much closer. He was still a man of few words, but the way he looked at me was warmer than before. He began to allow me to participate in more things. Yet, I could vaguely feel

    Just then, hurried footsteps echoed from the entrance of the alley. "Stop right there!"I forced my head up and saw Cyrus rushing in with a group of black-clad bodyguards. They swiftly subdued the kidnappers. The man with a scar on his face was pinned to the ground, yet he still refused to give up. He looked at Rowan and rasped, "Mr. Rowan, didn't you tell me—""Shut up!" Rowan cut him off sharply as his expression changed drastically. Cyrus scanned the scene. The moment he noticed the battered, bloody state Adrian and I were in, his gaze hardened. He immediately gestured for the doctors who had come with him to step forward and treat us. Then, he turned to Rowan. "Mr. Rowan, if Mr. Julian learns about what happened today, I'm afraid he'll be very displeased."Rowan sneered, "Cyrus, are you trying to use my father to pressure me?""I wouldn't dare," Cyrus responded calmly. "However, Mr. Adrian is your elder brother, after all, and Ms. Laurent is now your sister-in-law. No mat
