Three days passed.

The Lockwood mansion appeared peaceful on the surface.

The children laughed as usual, filling the halls with their endless chatter and playful arguments.

Clara continued preparing breakfast every morning before sending everyone off to school and work, while Jade buried himself in company matters during the day before returning home every evening to share dinner with his family.

To anyone looking from the outside, everything seemed perfectly normal.

Yet beneath that fra

  • I Am Their Mother: Rebirth Of The Wicked Stepmother    The Threat

    By noon, the plan was in motion.Jade had deliberately allowed certain information to circulate through channels he knew Vivienne's people were monitoring. The information was simple enough to sound believable: Clara would leave the mansion that afternoon, supposedly going alone. Her security detail would be minimal, and for approximately thirty minutes, she would be vulnerable. Except none of it was true. Clara wasn't leaving the mansion at all. The woman leaving through the front gate would be one of the family's trusted female security officers disguised as Clara.Every vehicle involved would be monitored, every road along the route had been secured, Alexander had men positioned several streets away, and Connor had his own people watching the surrounding area.Jade was monitoring everything from inside his study. It was a carefully constructed trap, designed to draw Vivienne out of hiding and finally reveal the people working for her.At precisely two o'clock, the decoy vehicl

  • I Am Their Mother: Rebirth Of The Wicked Stepmother    She Escaped

    Vivienne was sent to jail by Connor and Alexander, which became their greatest mistake.Somehow, she was bailed out before they could even finish questioning her, and by the time Jade found out, she was already gone.He was furious and worried at the same time.He had specifically told them to lock her in one of his abandoned houses until they had gathered enough evidence to determine what she had planned, but Connor and Alexander had insisted that sending her to jail was the safer and more legitimate option.Now Vivienne's whereabouts were unknown, and Jade couldn't shake the feeling that they had made it far too easy for her to disappear.That crazy woman was capable of going to any extent just to have him, and after everything they had uncovered about her obsession, Jade no longer underestimated what she could do.******Four days later, the morning began far too peacefully.That was the first thing Clara noticed.There was something almost unnatural about how quiet the Lockwood ma

  • I Am Their Mother: Rebirth Of The Wicked Stepmother    You Can Never Be Her

    Then Jade asked, voice trembling with barely restrained anger. “What happened after the accident?” Vivienne went still, the color slowly draining from her face as the memory came rushing back. “You left,” he said, not asking anymore but stating the truth she had spent years trying to bury. Vivienne slowly nodded, her lips trembling. “I panicked.” Jade's jaw tightened. “You left her there.” “I was terrified.” “You left her there!” Vivienne swallowed hard, tears beginning to gather in her eyes again. “I didn't know she would—” “You left my wife, damn it!” His voice shook, and for a moment the anger in his eyes was overshadowed by something far deeper—pain. “You left the mother of my children bleeding on the road.” Vivienne closed her eyes as if she could somehow escape the weight of those words. “I thought she was dead.” Jade stared at her, his expression hardening. “She was.” The words were quiet, but they carried more pain than a shout ever could. “And you wa

  • I Am Their Mother: Rebirth Of The Wicked Stepmother    The Truth She Buried

    For several seconds, nobody moved. Vivienne stood between Alexander and Connor, her carefully constructed composure beginning to crumble beneath the weight of everyone's questions. Jade remained in front of Clara and the children, his body instinctively shielding them from her, while Clara watched Vivienne with narrowed eyes. Something about the woman's last words bothered her. Vivienne had deliberately mentioned the night Lena died, and she had done it with the confidence of someone who believed she still possessed a card powerful enough to turn the situation in her favor. Whatever she had been hiding, Clara could tell it wasn't something Vivienne intended to reveal out of guilt. She was using the secret as leverage. Jade's voice was dangerously calm when he finally spoke. "You said I don't know what happened the night Lena died. So tell me." Vivienne looked at him for a long moment, then smiled faintly. "You really want to hear it?" "I want the truth." "You may not like it

    Vivienne stared at him as though he had physically struck her. Jade squeezed Clara's hand. "Lena was my first love." His voice softened for only a moment, and Clara's heart tightened at the honesty in his words. She knew there would always be a place in Jade's heart reserved for the woman he had lost, and she had never wanted to erase that part of him. Lena had been his past, the mother of his children, and someone he had genuinely loved. But that did not mean the past could be resurrected simply because another woman had stolen her face. "And I will always respect the woman she was," Jade continued. Then his expression hardened again. "However, the woman standing in front of me is not Lena." His eyes became cold. "And I don't love her." Vivienne's entire body trembled. "You don't mean that." "I do," Jade said calmly. "You loved Lena!" Vivienne screamed. "I did." Jade nodded. "Then you should love me!" Vivienne continued screaming. Jade stared at her. "Why?" Vivien

  • I Am Their Mother: Rebirth Of The Wicked Stepmother    [178] You Are Not My Wife

    The next morning, the Lockwood mansion felt strangely quiet. The children were in the living room, watching a cartoon, but even their laughter seemed softer than usual. Clara sat beside them, occasionally running her fingers through Sophie's hair while Emily leaned against her side. Lucas sat on the opposite couch with his phone in his hand, though he hadn't looked at the screen for several minutes. Something was different, and none of them could quite put their finger on it. The mansion was still their home, the same walls surrounded them, and the same familiar routines should have brought them comfort, yet there was an uneasiness hanging over everything. Jade had been gone since early morning. Alexander and Connor had left shortly after breakfast, and neither man had explained where they were going. Clara already knew, however. They were going to bring Vivienne back. She had gone out the night before, and never returned. For the first time since the woman had walked into

    Clara's eyes flew open as a sharp, ragged gasp tore from her throat. Her chest heaved violently, as though she had just been dragged from the crushing depths of a frozen ocean, and her lungs burned as she sucked in air again and again, each breath loud and uneven. Her body trembled uncontroll

    Clara pulled Sophie closer, pressing the little girl gently against her chest as the child’s sobs shook her small body. “Shhh…” Clara murmured softly, her voice low and comforting as she rubbed the girl’s back in slow, steady strokes. “It’s okay… you’re safe now. Mommy is here.” She let Sophie

    Clara’s heart shattered the moment she saw them. For a brief moment, she remained frozen at the top of the staircase, her fingers gripping the railing as a crushing wave of emotion surged violently through her chest. The three children looked painfully small standing in the center of the vast l

    Clara Whitmore lay sprawled across the cold marble floor, her body trembling faintly as a dark pool of blood spread beneath her like a blooming crimson flower. The chill of the marble seeped mercilessly into her skin, though under normal circumstances she would have hated such cold. Clara had
