The courtroom feels different when you are walking toward the witness stand instead of sitting in the gallery.

Elara notices every detail. The sound of her heels on the floor. The smell of old wood and paper and too many people in an enclosed space. The weight of everyone's eyes following her movement.

She passes the defense table. Lucas is three feet away. She does not look at him.

She sits in the witness chair and faces the courtroom. The jury is to her left. Twelve faces watching her with va

  • Killed By My Husband But Reborn A Supermodel   CHAPTER 110: CONFRONTING MARCUS

    Kieran holds the note with shaking hands. "Sienna deserved better."Three words that confirm everything. Richard Chen knew about Sienna's murder. He carried that knowledge until it destroyed him.Linda Chen watches them with growing concern. "What does that mean? Who is Sienna?"Kieran carefully folds the note. "Sienna was my sister. She died five years ago. Your husband knew something about her death."Linda's face goes pale. "Richard never mentioned anyone named Sienna.""He would not have. It was a secret that was killing him." Elara's voice is gentle. "Can you tell us anything else? Did Richard ever mention Marcus DeVale specifically in relation to a woman? Or a death?"Linda shakes her head slowly. "He just became more and more withdrawn. He would wake up in the middle of the night saying he was sorry over and over. I asked who he was apologizing to but he never answered. Then one day I came home and he was gone. The note he left just said he could not live with himself anymore."

  • Killed By My Husband But Reborn A Supermodel   CHAPTER 109: INVESTIGATING SIENNA

    Elara cannot stop thinking about Marcus DeVale.After Natasha leaves with her million dollars, Elara sits in Kieran's office reading through everything in the folder. The evidence is extensive but it raises more questions than it answers.Marcus DeVale. Developer. Married. Had an affair with Sienna. Got her pregnant. Had her killed when she refused to abort.But who was he really? Where did he come from? And most importantly, where is he now?"I want to investigate this myself," Elara tells Kieran that evening.They are home. Ethan is asleep. The house is quiet."Why?" Kieran asks. "We have Natasha's information. We know what happened.""We know what Natasha says happened. But I want to verify it independently. I want to understand who this man was. What he meant to Sienna. Why she loved him enough to risk everything.""Elara.""I live in her body, Kieran. Every day I look in the mirror and see Sienna's face. I owe her this. I owe her the truth about who killed her and why."Kieran st

  • Killed By My Husband But Reborn A Supermodel   CHAPTER 108: NATASHA'S INFORMATION

    The meeting is set for ten in the morning at a coffee shop downtown. Neutral territory. Public enough to be safe but private enough for sensitive conversation.Kieran and Elara arrive early. They sit at a corner table with a view of the door. Kieran orders coffee neither of them drinks. They wait.Natasha arrives exactly on time. She wears a designer suit that looks a season old. Expensive sunglasses. Too much jewelry again. She looks like someone trying to project wealth they no longer have.She sits down without greeting them. She sets a leather folder on the table between them."Who is she?" Natasha asks, looking at Elara."My wife. Elara, this is Natasha Winters."Natasha's eyes narrow. "I thought we were meeting alone.""You thought wrong. Anything you tell me, you tell her. We are a package."Natasha considers this. Then she shrugs. "Fine. More witnesses to the truth.""You said you have proof about Sienna's death," Kieran says. "Show me."Natasha opens the folder. She slides do

  • Killed By My Husband But Reborn A Supermodel   CHAPTER 106: SIENNA'S DEATH

    That night, after Ethan is asleep, Kieran and Elara sit in his office. The door is closed. The house is quiet except for the soft static of the baby monitor.Kieran pours himself a whiskey. He offers one to Elara but she declines. He sits in the leather chair by the window and stares at nothing."Tell me about Sienna," Elara says gently. "The real Sienna. I know she was Marcus's daughter. I know she died. But I do not know the full story."Kieran takes a long drink. "Sienna was my half-sister. Marcus's daughter from his first marriage. She was ten years older than me. By the time I was old enough to remember things clearly, she was already a teenager.""Were you close?""Not really. She was always distant. Like she was only half present. Marcus's first wife, Sienna's mother, died when Sienna was twelve. Cancer. After that, Sienna changed. Became harder. Less trusting."Kieran pauses. He takes another drink."Marcus remarried when I was five. My mother. She tried to be good to Sienna.

  • Killed By My Husband But Reborn A Supermodel   CHAPTER 105: NATASHA APPEARS

    Elara is feeding Ethan lunch when Kieran's phone rings. He looks at the screen and frowns."Who is it?" Elara asks."My office. They know not to call unless it is urgent." He answers. "Yes?"Elara watches his expression change. From annoyed to surprised to something darker."I will be there in twenty minutes." He hangs up. "I need to go to the office.""Is everything okay?""I do not know. Someone showed up asking to see me. Someone I have not seen in five years.""Who?""Natasha Winters. My ex-fiancée."Elara knows the name. Kieran mentioned her once. The woman he was engaged to before everything fell apart. Before he became the person he is now."What does she want?""I have no idea. But if she came to my office instead of calling, it must be important. Or she wants something." Kieran kisses Elara's forehead. "I will be back soon. Call if you need me."After he leaves, Elara finishes feeding Ethan. She tries not to worry. But the name Natasha Winters sits in her mind like a stone.A

    Elara wakes to sunlight streaming through the bedroom windows and the sound of babbling coming through the baby monitor.Ethan is awake.She sits up quickly. For a moment, she thinks she dreamed it. That Ethan is still at Julian's house and she just had a wonderful, impossible dream.Then Kieran stirs beside her and says, "Your son is calling for you."Your son.Elara is out of bed in seconds. She does not bother with a robe. She hurries down the hall to the nursery in her pajamas.Ethan is standing in his crib holding the railing. When he sees Elara, his whole face lights up. He bounces and makes excited sounds."Good morning, baby," Elara says. She picks him up and holds him close. He smells like sleep and baby and home.Ethan pats her face. He babbles a stream of nonsense that might be words or might just be happiness expressed in sound."Are you hungry? Let's get you breakfast."She carries him downstairs. Kieran is already in the kitchen making coffee. He looks at Elara holding E
