Aria's pov

The sunlight had just begun to warm the marble floors of the east wing when her phone buzzed on her nightstand.

It was just 6:44 AM, but she was already dressed in sleek black slacks, a steel-gray blouse tucked in with precision.

The edge of her mouth lifted in something that almost looked like hope but held too much tension

Her hair was pulled into a low, smooth bun, and a simple gold chain with a watch.

She couldn't sleep a wink through out the night. Again. It was now becoming a very bad habit of hers.

She picked up the phone without urgency.

It was a new message from Marcus Heller

> “Board requests your presence this morning. 9:30. Full attendance. Your father will be present.”

Aria stared at the screen for a moment, her brows furrowed tightly,and face pinching.

Her brows arched upward as if in surprise, but the tightness around her mouth betrayed a deeper calculation.

The meeting was a long time coming. What really surprised her was her father be

  • Rebirth: From Devoted Wife to Ice Queen CEO   Chapter 14: “I don’t need babysitters.”

    Aria jolted out of bed with a gasps and her skin covered in sweat. She looked around her, her breath coming out in shallow puffs. It was then she noticed she was still in her room and safe. It must had been a dream then. She was just being paranoid for no reason at all. The car wasn't following her and she saw it herself, but it still made her skin crawl. A sharp knock on her door startled her from her thinking. "Yes? Come in." She said her voice still shaking. The door opened a little bit and one of the maids came in."Good morning miss. Your parents are calling for you at the dinning hall." The maid stammered. Aria waved her hand at the maid. "Tell them I will be there shortly." The young maid hurriedly left the room, closing the door softly behind her. Aria went in to the bathroom and took a quick shower before going downstairs to meet her parents at the dinning table. Her parents are already seated. Her dad at the head of the table with today's papers in his ha

    Mia glanced at the time on her phone, then flagged down the server. “Can you bring the check? She’s leaving me for another power play.”Aria rose slowly, while smoothing her blazer and adjusting her cufflinks.“You could come with me,” she said.Mia arched a brow, a small smile playing on her lips. “To watch you emotionally blackmail Ethan into holy matrimony? No thanks.” she chuckled.Aria gave her a faint smirk. “You’re being dramatic.”“I’m a writer,” Mia replied, sliding her card into the bill folder. “Dramatic is the brand.”Aria stepped around the table and kissed the top of Mia’s head gently. “Finish your blog and don’t mention me.” she joked.Mia snorted. “You wound me. I have ethics. Besides, I’m working on a piece about corporate dynasties and their obsession with legacy. Very subtle shade and totally not about the Lin family.”Aria gave her a long look and shook her head smiling. “Tell your brother I said hi.”“He’s in Daehara.” Mia waved a hand. “Running the empire, marryi

    Aria picked up her phone from the dinning table after dropping the documents and and send a quick text to Mira.>"Hey Mira, you free? Let's met up at Noir by Eleven in thirty minutes?"Mia's reply came immediately.>"Sure. See you there."Noir by Eleven is An exclusive rooftop restaurant and wine bar where Aria and Mia often dine. Reservations are impossible without a name or a scandal.It's known for its low lighting, sweeping sea views, and private glass booths.A favorite for secret meetups, whispered alliances, and accidental paparazzi sightings.The restaurant was discreet, dim lighting, velvet booths, and soft jazz playing under the clink of expensive cutlery. No cameras and no flashing lights. Just the kind of silence Aria liked.She was five minutes early, of course.Mia slid into the booth two minutes after that, in a black leather jacket over a silk blouse, her hair swept up carelessly but still looking like a Vogue editorial. She dropped her bag beside her and raised an e

  • Rebirth: From Devoted Wife to Ice Queen CEO   Chapter 11: But what if He refused?

    Aria's povAfter the meeting was over, Aria stood by her office window, arms crossed loosely across her chest, watching the skyline. From this high up, the city looked smaller. Manageable even.She had to come up with a solution, a long time solution that will shut all the gossips for good.But what could she use? What will definitely shut the gossips for good?A soft knock on her office door interrupted her, from thinking.“You can come in,” she said.The door opened gently and her father stepped inside, his tailored suit as crisp as always, his expression carrying none of the coldness it had during the meeting.Her forehead wrinkled in surprise upon seeing her father. Since she took over as CEO, he hardly comes into the office and when ever he does like today, he goes home immediately after. According to him, he was no longer needed at the office.Daniel Lin closed the door behind him and walked to her desk, glancing around the room like it hadn’t changed. “You always did like th

  • Rebirth: From Devoted Wife to Ice Queen CEO   Chapter 9: “You really think he’ll make you happy?”

    Aria's pov The sun had dipped low over Linyang, throwing golden light against the towering glass of Lin Corporation. Aria walked out of the building her face calm, but her thoughts are not. She was still thinking of Karla's betrayal. She had to admit that it hurt her. She promised herself not to care for anyone and to look only after herself. But here she was still thinking about Karla's betrayal. They were close, not as how she and Mia grew up together, but she still considered Karla as a close friend. The two of them where the only females out of the twenty new interns that where picked about six years ago. And that leads to them being close, they stuck together, and did everything in the office together. Karla was a nice person, so she didn't know where it had all gone wrong. Did she did it for money? For game? No matter how hard she thought of it, it just didn't make sense at all. Well, enough about Karla, she was old news now. Her heels clicked softly acro
