The scream shattered the night.

Elaine Carter’s heartbeat lurched violently as another crashing sound echoed from inside the estate, followed by hurried footsteps and frightened voices.

Rain poured relentlessly over the mansion grounds, thunder rolling across the sky like a warning.

Adrian moved first.

“Stay close to me,” he said sharply.

Elaine almost argued out of instinct—until another scream cut through the air.

This one sounded terrified.

Not dramatic.

Not startled.

Terrified.

And suddenly

  • REBORN TO TAKE REVENGE ON MY STEPSISTER   Chapter Twenty-Three: The Price of Remembering

    Adrian Vale had faced death.Many times.He had watched cities burn.Watched timelines collapse.Watched reality tear itself apart.He had buried the woman he loved more times than any human mind should be able to survive.Yet nothing—Absolutely nothing—Compared to this.The choice.The impossible choice.The Fracture continued collapsing around them while darkness devoured entire sections of the endless white world.Stars disappeared.Timelines vanished.Reality itself was dying.And Adrian couldn’t move.Couldn’t breathe.Couldn’t think.Because for the first time in every timeline—He had finally found something worse than losing Elaine.Forgetting her.The realization shattered him.Across from him, Elaine stood frozen.Tears streamed down her face.The Original Elaine looked heartbroken.Older Adrian looked exhausted.Like he had already lived through this nightmare.Which meant he probably had.The silence stretched endlessly.Then Adrian laughed.A soft laugh.The kind that c

  • REBORN TO TAKE REVENGE ON MY STEPSISTER   Chapter Twenty-Two: Choose

    “The choice belongs to him.”The words echoed through the dying Fracture.For a moment—No one moved.No one breathed.The white world around them continued collapsing into darkness while reality screamed itself apart overhead, but Elaine could only stare at the Original Elaine.Then she turned slowly toward Adrian.“No.”His answer came instantly.Sharp.Final.The Original Elaine closed her eyes briefly.“Adrian—”“No.”The Fracture cracked violently beneath them.Darkness surged through the widening gaps.Entire sections of the endless white space vanished into nothingness.Still—Adrian never looked away from Elaine.Not once.His hands remained firmly around her shoulders.As if he could physically stop reality from taking her.Elaine’s heart broke a little more.Because she knew that look.She had seen it in every timeline.Every ending.Every goodbye.The look of a man preparing to fight a battle he couldn’t win.Older Adrian sighed heavily.“You’re making the same mistake.”Th

  • REBORN TO TAKE REVENGE ON MY STEPSISTER   Chapter Twenty One: The Moment the Sky Broke

    The sky exploded.Not with thunder.Not with lightning.With reality itself.A deafening sound tore through existence as the massive fracture above them shattered completely. The heavens split apart like broken glass, revealing an endless void beyond.Elaine Carter felt the world lurch violently beneath her feet.The cliffside disappeared.The ocean vanished.The storm ceased to exist.Everything dissolved into blinding white light.Then darkness.Then, countless fragments of memories.Thousands.Millions.Entire lifetimes flashed before her eyes.Elaine was six years old.Elaine was sixteen.Elaine is meeting Adrian for the first time.Elaine dying.Again.Again.Again.The memories collided together until she could no longer tell which life belonged to which timeline.She heard screaming.Laughter.Wedding vows.Funeral bells.A baby’s cry.Adrian’s voice.Always Adrian’s voice.Then suddenly—Everything stopped.Silence.Elaine opened her eyes.And found herself standing in the sam

  • REBORN TO TAKE REVENGE ON MY STEPSISTER   Chapter Twenty: If Loving You Ends the World

    Elaine Carter had never truly understood fear until she saw Adrian Vale realize what she was about to do.Not anger.Not panic.Fear.Pure, devastating fear.The kind that hollowed a person from the inside out.Rain crashed violently around them while the fractured sky continued tearing apart overhead. The world flickered constantly now—pieces of different timelines bleeding into one another faster than reality could stabilize.The ocean vanished briefly.A ruined city replaced it.Then darkness.Then normal again.Lily dropped to one knee nearby as her body flickered violently in and out of existence.Older Adrian looked grim.“We’re almost out of time.”But Elaine barely heard him.Because Adrian was staring at her like his entire universe was collapsing.And maybe it was.“No,” he whispered.Elaine’s chest tightened painfully.“Adrian—”“No.”His voice cracked harder this time.Raw.Broken.God.She hated this.She hated that the person she loved most in every lifetime was the same

  • REBORN TO TAKE REVENGE ON MY STEPSISTER   Chapter Nineteen: The Ending She Chose

    “You remember how it ends now, don’t you?”The words shattered through Elaine Carter harder than the violent storm ripping apart the sky above them.Rain crashed endlessly against the cliffside while reality itself tore open overhead in massive glowing fractures. Through the cracks, countless timelines flickered in and out of existence like dying stars.Elaine stared at the older version of Adrian standing above them.Blood stained his dark coat.His scarred face looked exhausted.Broken.And somehow—She already knew he was right.Because the memories were returning now.Not flashes.Not fragments.Everything.Her knees nearly gave out instantly.Adrian caught her before she collapsed.“Elaine.”His voice sounded distant.Muted beneath the horrifying flood of memories crashing violently through her mind.Timeline One.The car accident.Adrian is screaming her name.Timeline Two.Gunshots in a ballroom.Timeline Three.Lily was crying beside her hospital bed.Timeline Four.Adrian is

  • REBORN TO TAKE REVENGE ON MY STEPSISTER   Chapter Eighteen: The Version of Him That Survived

    “You need to kill him before he resets the timeline again.”The storm remained frozen.Rain hung motionless in the air like shattered glass around them.No thunder.No wind.No sound except Elaine Carter’s heartbeat pounding violently inside her chest.She stared at the older version of Adrian Vale standing across the cliffside.Scarred.Broken.Destroyed by grief.And somehow—Still looking at her like she was the center of his universe.Their Adrian stood protectively beside her, tense enough to snap reality apart with his bare hands.Elaine could feel it.Fear.Not fear of death.Fear of losing her.Again.The older Adrian laughed softly at the expression on his younger self’s face.“Oh, don’t look at me like that,” he said quietly. “You become me eventually.”“You’re lying,” their Adrian said coldly.The older version smiled bitterly.“No. I’m warning you.”Elaine swallowed hard.Every instinct inside her screamed that this man was dangerous.But another part of her—The part conn

  • REBORN TO TAKE REVENGE ON MY STEPSISTER   Chapter Five: Smiles and Poison

    The Carter estate had learned how to pretend. After the tension in the study, everything returned—at least on the surface—to polished normalcy. Breakfasts were still served on time, business meetings continued, and Lily Carter resumed her role as the picture-perfect daughter. But perfection, Ela

  • REBORN TO TAKE REVENGE ON MY STEPSISTER   Chapter Four: Cracks in the Mirror

    The Carter estate had always been a place of quiet elegance. Now, it hummed with tension. It wasn’t loud. There were no arguments echoing through the halls, no dramatic confrontations. To anyone passing through, everything still looked perfect—servants moved with practiced grace, chandeliers glow

  • REBORN TO TAKE REVENGE ON MY STEPSISTER   Chapter Three: The Trap Beneath Silk

    By evening, the Carter estate no longer felt peaceful. It felt like a chessboard. Elaine Carter sat at her desk, a file open in front of her, though her eyes hadn’t moved across the pages in minutes. The golden light from the setting sun stretched across the room, catching the edges of polish

  • REBORN TO TAKE REVENGE ON MY STEPSISTER   Chapter Six: Dangerous Hearts

    Rain poured heavily over the city, turning the streets into rivers of blurred lights and restless shadows. Inside the Carter estate, however, the storm outside was nothing compared to the one brewing within Elaine Carter’s mind. She sat at her desk, staring at the untouched cup of tea beside her.
