2025-01-26 20:44:08Ashley did not react much to Jaxon Elijah’s dismay. Instead, she stood up and took her bag. Opening it calmly right before Jaxon’s eyes, her every more was very graceful and unhurried as of he did not step on a landmine with what he just said.
Even Jaxon was doubtful until…
Ashley pulled out a gun from her bag, aimed it to Jaxon, and undid the safety pin. And Ashley did it in one fluid series of movements without any hysterics.

REBIRTH: MR. CEO, Let's Divorce! Final Side Story
The Grand Bell Hotel shimmered under the twilight sky, its towers brushing the clouds, lights blinking like a thousand distant stars.Tonight, the topmost banquet hall — the crown jewel of the hotel — was reserved exclusively for a little girl who didn’t even know if she belonged to this world.Tasha stood at the entrance of the massive hall, eyes wide.The room was a fairytale.Silk banners of gold and pink draped from the chandeliers.Massive tables groaned under mountains of sweets and cakes.A miniature castle, made entirely of spun sugar and chocolate, stood proudly in the center.And in the farthest corner, a live string quartet played a soft, whimsical tune that seemed to lift everyone’s hearts.And standing right there — waiting for her, smiling like the sun — were her parents.Lucas scooped her up effortlessly, holding her close to his chest. "Happy Birthday, my little star."Talia kissed her temple, hands brushing lovingly through her hair. "Our precious girl."Tasha, who ha

The city buzzed around them like a living thing.It wasn’t their usual kind of date.No candlelight dinner.No cozy stroll through the park.No lazy afternoons lost in museums.Instead, Talia found herself standing in front of a giant, half-finished skyscraper, craning her neck to take in the sheer height of it.Construction workers bustled around the site like bees. Cranes groaned under the weight of steel beams. Dust and noise filled the air.She turned to Lucas, skeptical."...You sure this is the right place?"Lucas smiled enigmatically, leaning a little on his cane but standing tall. "Positive."He offered his hand.Talia hesitated — then placed hers in his, heart thudding for reasons she didn’t quite understand.They crossed the chaotic lobby, weaving through workers shouting orders and rolling blueprints. A construction manager nearly crashed into them but immediately paled when he saw Lucas."Sorry, sir! Sorry, ma’am!"Sir?Talia raised an eyebrow but said nothing.An elevator

The new house smelled of fresh beginnings.Of warm sunlight streaming through wide windows.Of baby lotion from Auron’s tiny crib.Of laughter — soft and cautious, as if no one wanted to scare it away.It was supposed to feel like home.And for Chesha, holding Auron against her chest while Nexus fumbled with putting together a second bassinet in the living room, it almost did.For Lucas and Talia too — who moved around the kitchen with easy camaraderie, unpacking groceries, arguing over the best way to arrange the mugs. They bumped shoulders, smiled shyly when they thought no one was looking.And Tasha...Tasha stood at the bottom of the stairs, arms crossed, watching them all.Feeling... odd.Feeling... heavy.She knew she should be happy.Chesha was finally home.Auron was out of the NICU.Everyone was finally under one roof again.So why did it feel like the world was slowly shifting without her?…It started innocently enough.Lucas, still leaning heavily on his cane but steadier

The day Chesha was discharged, the hospital seemed almost reluctant to let her go.The halls that had echoed with the steady beeping of machines, the quiet shuffle of nurses' shoes, and the faint scent of antiseptic suddenly felt too empty, too silent, as Chesha sat in the wheelchair, cradling a sleepy Auron in her arms.Her body was still fragile, her movements gentle and cautious. She wore a simple cream sweater over her hospital gown, a pair of new soft leggings Talia had bought for her, and the thick knitted blanket Tasha had given during her hospital stay was draped protectively around her shoulders. She looked small. Breakable. Like a butterfly still drying its wings after surviving a storm.And Nexus—Nexus hovered nearby like a silent, hulking shadow.He was dressed neatly in dark jeans and a simple shirt, but his fists were clenched and unclenched at his sides, his jaw set tight, his eyes... lost.Because now that the papers were signed, now that the doctors had given their

Aries didn’t know why he was so grumpy lately.Actually—he did. He just didn’t want to admit it.Tasha hadn’t been acting like herself. Or rather, she hadn’t been acting like the version of herself that clung to him like a koala bear, demanding his attention, poking his cheek when he was serious, tugging at his sleeve when he was sulking.The bubblegum Tasha, he called it in his head. The one who was stuck to him like sugar-sweet glue.Now? She was distant. Not cold, not indifferent, just... somewhere else. Maybe with her baby cousin. Maybe with Chesha. Aries didn’t know. And it made his chest feel funny, like he swallowed a marble and it got stuck.He kicked a pillow across the living room and huffed.Then Tasha walked in, still wearing the bunny-eared hoodie she loved. Her cheeks were pink from the cold, and her braid was messy from running down the hallway. She had just come back from the NICU, visiting baby Auron with her parents.“Hi, Aries!” she chirped, plopping down beside him

The NICU was a place of delicate quiet. Soft beeping monitors, warm filtered lighting, the gentle rustle of nurses moving with practiced grace. Chesha had learned the rhythm of this space. Even as her body still wore the weight of her recovery, even as her steps were slow and cautious, she made time every day to see Auron.This visit was different. It was the first time she wasn’t with Nexus or she wasn’t alone.Tasha walked beside her, her fingers wrapped tightly around Chesha’s hand as if afraid to lose her aunt again. The girl was bouncing slightly on the balls of her feet, trying to stay respectful of the space, but buzzing with energy nonetheless.Auron, swaddled and sleeping peacefully in his incubator, looked more like a baby and less like a fragile bundle of skin and ribs now. His cheeks had filled out, and his small hands sometimes fluttered in the air as if he were reaching for dreams only he could see.Chesha stood there, watching him breathe. The glass separated them sti
REBIRTH: MR. CEO, Let's Divorce! Talia's Corner
After many years of being the CEO of Elijah Consortium, even when the time when he first became one and many questioned him, this was the first time that Jaxon Elijah was stumped by a question. And the person who left him speechless was his son who could barely reach his waist.“Who told you that?”

“We’ve been filming for two months. Thanked goodness ‘Youth 1990’ pushed forward the taping schedule or else, we’re done.” Dylan used his usual exaggerated tone as he slumped next to Ashley who was busy packing her things.“You better wash up. You stink.” Ashley was the first one to excuse herself

“Mommy, I’m done washing my hands.”Upon hearing the little dumpling’s voice and seeing the careful look in his eyes, Ashley smiled gently and pacified him. “Then come and eat with me, Scottie.”“Okay!” Scottie was overjoyed. His fair little hand carefully grabbed Ashley’s hand and sat beside her.
REBIRTH: MR. CEO, Let's Divorce! Reunion Of Mother & Son
Ashley leaned against the leather seat while the car drove at a steady speed. Her train of thought was on Scottie.At this point in her life, it was embarrassing to say, but she had never taken her son to kindergarten. Thinking about it, the remorse she was feeling continued to pile up. Indeed, lov
