Rebirth: From Devoted Wife to Ice Queen CEO Chapter 37: "It's one of the things I love about him,"
The candle flame wavered between them, casting dancing shadows across the pristine white tablecloth. Adrian's silence stretched like a taut wire, ready to snap under the weight of five expectant gazes. He could feel sweat beginning to gather at the base of his neck, despite the restaurant's perfectly controlled temperature.Samuel Wu's fingers drummed once against his wine glass—a subtle warning that only Adrian would recognize. His father's patience was a finite resource, and Adrian was rapidly depleting it."I..." Adrian began, then stopped. The word hung in the air like smoke, incomplete and insufficient. Selene's grip on his hand tightened, her thumb moving in small, nervous circles across his knuckles. The gesture was meant to be comforting, but it felt like a shackle.Chen Wei leaned forward slightly, his businessman's smile never wavering despite the tension crackling through the air. "Perhaps Adrian is simply overwhelmed by the generosity of the timeline," he suggested smoothl

Adrian's fingers moved mechanically across the keyboard, the soft clicking filling the silence of his spacious corner office. The glow from his laptop screen cast harsh shadows across his face as he scrolled through yet another article with a title that made his jaw clench: *"How to Win Back Your Ex: 10 Proven Strategies That Actually Work."*He'd been at this for hours, diving deeper into the rabbit hole of relationship advice websites. His browser history read like a desperate man's manifesto: *"Signs She Still Loves You But Won't Admit It,"* *"The Psychology of Female Rejection: What She's Really Thinking,"* and his personal favorite, *"Rich Men's Guide to Reclaiming Lost Love."*The current article promised revolutionary insights. Adrian leaned forward, his expensive suit wrinkling as he hunched over the screen.*"Step 3: Create artificial scarcity. Women desire what they can't have. Make yourself unavailable and watch her chase you."*His laugh was bitter, echoing off the floor-t

Aria's hand paused on her car door handle as her phone chimed. The familiar notification sound she sets for her father's texts, made her stomach clench with dread—nothing good ever came from her father's texts at this hour. She pulled out her phone, squinting at the bright screen in the dim evening light.*"Dinner at Le Bernardin. 8 PM. Both of you. Non-negotiable. - Dad"*The words blurred together as she read them twice, then three times, hoping they would somehow rearrange themselves into something less mortifying. Her fingers trembled slightly as she held the device, the weight of it suddenly feeling unbearable.A sharp ding echoed from across the parking lot. Ethan's silhouette froze beside his car, his phone's glow illuminating the sharp planes of his face. Even from a distance, she could see the moment comprehension hit him—his jaw tightened, and his free hand curled into a fist at his side.Their eyes met across the space between their cars. The air seemed to thicken with m

Aria descended the curved staircase of the Lin mansion the next morning to the soft scent of jasmine tea and her mother’s cheerful chatter filling the breakfast room. She paused briefly on the stairs, soaking in the serenity of her family home before stepping into the breakfast table space. Her mother was already seated at the table, animatedly speaking to her father with a fond smile on her face."Oh, you should have seen her, darling," her mother gushed, her eyes sparkling as she gestured with her teacup, "The moment she stepped out in that dress, I could already see the whole wedding before my eyes. Our Aria is going to be the most beautiful bride in all of Linyang."Her father looked up from his newspaper, his expression softening in the way it always did when his wife spoke about their daughter. The morning light caught the silver threading through his dark hair. Her father chuckled, setting his newspaper aside. "Now you have me curious. I want to see this magical dress that h

The tension in the boutique had finally simmered down. After Selene and her cronies left, Aria stood calmly in the middle of the shop, her face unreadable. Around her, the atmosphere returned to its usual elegance, filled with the soft rustling of gowns and murmurs of admiration, everybody going back to what they were doing before the drama started. Her mother stood beside her, Mia was scrolling through her camera roll to show Aria references, and Qian, had already begun discussing fitting schedules with the store assistant.They were here for her wedding gown. She shouldn't forget that. Just because she had a run in with Selene before she was prepared, doesn't mean she had to give her the satisfaction of getting a raise out of her.“Let’s start with this one,” Mia chirped interrupting Aria's thought, holding up a dazzling strapless A-line dress with intricate lace embroidery that shimmered under the boutique’s lights. “Classic and timeless. And just a touch of dramatic train.”Aria
Rebirth: From Devoted Wife to Ice Queen CEO Chapter 32: "Remind me never to get on your bad side!"
The words cut through the boutique's quiet atmosphere like a blade. Aria's fingers, which had been reaching towards the beautiful wedding gown, froze in mid-air as every single muscle in her body went rigid.The warmth that had been building in her chest throughout this morning was now turned into something cold.That voice was etched into her memory, so bitter and unforgettable.She turned slowly, despite the shock suddenly coursing through her veins. The small smile that had been playing at her lips had died completely, replaced by an expression of careful calmness that didn't quite reach her eyes.Selene Chen stood fifteen feet away from her, her black jumpsuit catching the light with thousands of tiny sequins, each one winking. The garment hugged her figure, clearly custom-made and probably worth more than most people's cars. But it was her stance that truly announced her presence—one hip cocked, her arms crossed and chin tilted at an angle that suggested she owned not just the s
