Kieran called three days later with his report on Julian Cross.

"Meet me at the garden house. You need to see this in person."

I drove to the Vaughn estate with my stomach in knots. What had Kieran found? Was Julian another monster like his brother? Or was he genuine?

Kieran had papers spread across the table when I arrived. Financial records. Background checks. Interview transcripts.

"Tell me," I said.

"Julian Cross is exactly who he claims to be. A high school teacher in Oregon. Modest income. Clean record. No connection to Lucas for the past five years."

"Why did they stop talking?"

"Because Julian confronted Lucas about how he treated Rachel. Said Lucas was abusive. Controlling. That Rachel deserved better." Kieran pulled out a document. "Julian sent Lucas an email five years ago. Right after he met Rachel at a family dinner. Want to read it?"

He handed me a printed email. The words were harsh and honest.

"Lucas, I met your wife tonight. She seems like a kind person. She also seem

  • Killed By My Husband But Reborn A Supermodel   CHAPTER 53: VISITING ALICE

    Elara stays at Lucas's penthouse for three hours. She plays the dutiful fiancée. She nods sympathetically while he rants about Alice. She agrees with his plans for damage control. She smiles and touches his arm and acts like nothing has changed.But inside, she is planning. Calculating. Waiting for her moment to escape.Finally Lucas gets a call about an emergency at his office. Some crisis with investors spooked by the wedding disaster. He has to go handle it personally."Will you be okay here alone?" Lucas asks. He seems reluctant to leave her."I'll be fine," Elara assures him. "I'm exhausted anyway. I think I'll take a bath and rest."Lucas kisses her forehead. "I'll be back in a few hours. We'll have dinner. Talk about the new wedding plans.""Sounds perfect," Elara lies.The moment Lucas leaves, Elara springs into action. She calls Kieran immediately."Where is Alice?" she asks without preamble."Pinehurst Psychiatric Hospital," Kieran says. "It's a private facility on the north

  • Killed By My Husband But Reborn A Supermodel   CHAPTER 52: DAMAGE CONTROL

    The drive to Lucas's penthouse is silent. Lucas grips the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turn white. His jaw is clenched. A muscle twitches in his cheek. Elara has never seen him this angry.She sits in the passenger seat still wearing her wedding dress. The crystals catch the sunlight. The fabric pools around her feet. She looks like a princess. But she feels like a prisoner.They pull into the underground parking garage. Lucas doesn't wait for the valet. He parks himself and gets out. He comes around to Elara's door and opens it. His movements are jerky. Aggressive."Come on," he says tersely.Elara gathers her dress and follows him to the elevator. They ride up to the penthouse in silence. The tension is suffocating. Elara can feel Lucas's rage radiating off him in waves.The elevator doors open. They step into the penthouse. It looks exactly the same as when Elara lived here as Rachel. Same furniture. Same art on the walls. The only difference is the photos. Pictures of Lu

  • Killed By My Husband But Reborn A Supermodel   CHAPTER 51: ALICE'S ACCUSATION

    The church explodes into chaos. Guests jump to their feet. People start shouting questions. Cameras flash as everyone tries to capture this moment. The peaceful wedding ceremony has transformed into a scandal.Alice stumbles further down the aisle toward the altar. She is clearly drunk. Elara can see it in the way she moves. Unsteady steps. Wild gestures. Eyes that don't quite focus properly."You all need to know the truth," Alice shouts to the crowd. Her voice is slurred but loud. "Lucas Hart is not who you think he is. He's not a grieving widower who found love again. He's a murderer."Lucas remains unnaturally calm. He doesn't look panicked or angry. He looks concerned. Like he is dealing with a troubled person who needs help. His expression is perfect. Practiced."Alice, please," Lucas says gently. He holds up his hands in a placating gesture. "You're not well. Let's get you somewhere quiet where we can talk.""I don't want to talk to you," Alice screams. She points at him with a

    Elara wakes up alone in her apartment. Morning light filters through the curtains. For a moment she forgets what day it is. Then reality crashes down on her.Today is her wedding day.She sits up in bed and looks around her empty apartment. She spent last night here alone. Kieran wanted her to stay at the estate but she refused. She needed this night to herself. To prepare mentally for what she is about to do.She is going to marry Lucas Hart. Again.Her phone buzzes on the nightstand. A text from Diana. "I'm outside. Let me in."Elara drags herself out of bed. She opens the door and Diana sweeps in carrying garment bags and makeup cases. Diana takes one look at Elara's face and pulls her into a hug."You don't have to do this," Diana says quietly. "We can call it off right now. I'll handle everything.""No," Elara says. She pulls away and forces a smile. "I have to do this. It's the only way to get close enough to destroy him completely."Diana looks unconvinced but she doesn't argue

  • Killed By My Husband But Reborn A Supermodel   CHAPTER 48: ONE NIGHT

    Elara wakes before dawn. Kieran's arm is draped across her waist. His breathing is deep and even. She lies still, watching the first light creep through the curtains. Everything feels different this morning. Changed.Last night was not just physical. It was something deeper. Something that terrified and thrilled her at the same time.She carefully slides out of bed without waking Kieran. She finds his shirt from yesterday and pulls it on. She walks to the window and looks out at the estate grounds. The world is quiet. Peaceful. For a moment she can almost forget about Lucas and Alice and revenge."You're awake early," Kieran's voice comes from behind her.Elara turns. He is sitting up in bed, bare-chested, his dark hair messy from sleep. He looks younger like this. Less dangerous. Almost vulnerable."I couldn't sleep," she says."Come back to bed," he says. It is not a command. It is an invitation.Elara walks back to the bed and climbs in beside him. Kieran pulls her close. She rests

  • Killed By My Husband But Reborn A Supermodel   CHAPTER 49: THE REHEARSAL DINNER

    Elara sits across from Julian Cross in the corner booth of Rosemary's cafe. He looks tired. There are dark circles under his eyes. His usually neat hair is slightly messy. Lucas's arrest has clearly taken a toll on him."Thank you for meeting me," Julian says. He pushes one of the coffee cups toward her. "I wasn't sure you would come.""You said it was about Ethan," Elara says. "I'll always come when it's about him."Julian nods slowly. He studies her face like he's trying to figure something out. "Lucas called me from jail. He wants me to file for custody of Ethan. He says I'm the only family member he trusts."Elara's heart sinks but she keeps her expression neutral. "And what do you want?""I want what's best for Ethan," Julian says simply. "That's all I've ever wanted. Lucas and I may be brothers but we're very different people. I don't agree with the things he's done. I never have.""Do you believe he killed Rachel?" Elara asks carefully.Julian is quiet for a moment. Then he nod
