REBORN: My Second Life. I Became The Villianess Chapter 157
I grabbed two fresh bottles of beer from the kitchen fridge and walked out onto the side porch. Dad was sitting in one of the rocking chairs, with his legs stretched out and his shoulders relaxed as he stared out into the quiet yard."Thought you might want one," I said, stepping up beside him and holding out a bottle.Dad looked up, a small smile cracking his face as he took it. "Thanks, kid. Have a seat."I pulled up the chair next to his, opening my beer and taking a slow sip. The silence between us was easy, built over understanding each other without needing to fill every second with noise."How's the chest holding up?" I asked softly, nodding toward his shirt."Better," he said, resting his bottle on his knee. "Dr. Russo checked the surgical site before I flew up. Said everything's sitting right where it's supposed to be. I just need to stop trying to lift heavy crates when Pascal isn't looking."I let out a soft laugh. "You never can sit still.""Neither can you," he countered

By nine the next morning, I was settled behind my desk at Cipher Core, a steaming mug of black coffee sitting on a coaster next to my laptop. The morning light flooded through the glass windows, casting a warm glow across the polished floor.Leo knocked twice on the open doorframe before stepping in, holding a thick blue folder and a tablet under his arm."Morning, boss," Leo said, pulling out the chair across from my desk. "Got the Q4 software licensing renewals ready for your sign-off, plus the fresh proposal for the logistics firm down in the city.""Let’s see them," I said, sliding my coffee to the side and taking the blue folder from him.I opened the file and began skimming through the terms. Cipher Core had built its reputation on rock-solid cybersecurity software and high-density database management, and staying on top of our enterprise contracts was what kept the doors open and the staff paid."They're asking for a three percent discount on the multi-year server maintenance p

I spent the rest of the morning answering emails, reviewing quarterly budgets for Cipher Core, and approving new hiring requisitions for our software engineering team. It was clean, straightforward, normal work, no drama, no threats, just running my company.Around noon, Leo looked up from his monitor "Scrub's complete, Nyxara. Zero digital traces left on the routing channels. Clean as a whistle.""Good work, Leo," I said, taking a sip of my coffee. "Let's grab lunch."I pulled into the driveway just after six in the evening. The house was quiet when I walked through the front door, slipping my heels off by the entryway.Upstairs, I found Dario in Aria’s room. The dim nightlight cast a warm glow across the room as he gently rocked our daughter back and forth, humming softly until her eyes fluttered shut and her breathing slowed to a steady rhythm. He carefully laid her down in her crib, pulling the light blanket over her shoulders before stepping out into the hallway and softly clicki

It was loud, simple, and comfortable, the exact kind of night we all needed. After dinner was cleared away, the family started scattering to different parts of the house. Mom and Bianca went upstairs to put Aria down for the night, while Grandfather and Vincenzo settled in the living room with the late news.Dad, Uncle Pascal, and I headed down the hall into the den. Dad kicked off his shoes, dropping onto the leather sofa with a deep sigh and stretching his legs out. Uncle Pascal grabbed two glasses, poured a couple fingers of whiskey for himself and Dad, and handed one over before slumping into the armchair across from him."You feeling alright after that flight?" I asked, leaning against the edge of the desk."I'm fine, kid," Dad said, taking a slow sip. "Chest is still a little tight if I move too fast, but the doctors said the tissue is healing fine. I'm just glad to be out of that bed." Dario walked past the open doorway, stopping for a second when he saw us inside. He had his

The monthly southern flight always brought a different kind of energy to the Valteri estate. By Friday afternoon, the kitchen was already buzzing with activity. Mom was directing the staff, making sure every dish on the menu matched my dad’s favorite recipes, while Bianca set the large dining table with crisp linens and heavy silver.Upstairs in our bedroom, I was buttoning up my blouse when Dario walked out of the walk-in closet, adjusting his watch around his wrist. He glanced out the bedroom window toward the private landing pad near the edge of the property line."They're touching down," Dario said, a slight, easy grin forming on his face.I walked over to the window, looking out just as my dad’s black helicopter lowered smoothly onto the asphalt, kicking up a light swirl of autumn leaves. The door slid open, and a second later, Dad stepped out onto the tarmac, followed closely by Uncle Pascal and two of their trusted guards. Even after taking two bullets to the chest a month ago,

Aria buried her face in my shoulder, wrapping her tiny arms around my neck and letting out a happy little sigh that melted every ounce of stress left in my body. She smelled like baby powder and warm milk, and holding her felt like the absolute best thing in the world."She missed you like crazy," Bianca smiled, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, looking relieved. "Dario was about to charter a private search party and fly down there himself last night.""I wasn't far off," Dario admitted, walking up behind me and sliding his arm around my shoulders, pressing a kiss to Aria's cheek and another to mine.Grandmother and Grandfather walked out of the sitting room, smiling warmly as they saw us all gathered by the front door, while Ella peeked out from the top of the stairs, flashing me a huge, secret grin and giving me a quiet thumbs-up.I was standing there in the center of the hallway surrounded by my husband, our baby girl, and the noisy, chaotic, loving family that had ta
