Her mind had a million things for her to do, but her eyelids kept pulling shut.

It was just 8:53am now, but she was already tired.

She slumped in her chair, her posture betraying the weariness that had settled deep into her bones.

She couldn't erase the look on Ethan's face, when he stormed out of her office just an hour ago.

She knew that she had hurt him, and there was nothing she could do to fix that.

It's not like she can help him get back with his girlfriend at this point.

The office was beginning to buzz by then. She could here phones ringing outside her office door, and the clicking of heels against the polished floors.

She checked her phone for perhaps the 20th time. Markus and Delilah still haven't brought what she asked them for.

It seems she would have to take matters into her own hands.

She was seated at her desk in a deep navy dress suit and a pair of black heels.

Her door remained closed since Ethan barged out, the glass frosted over.

  • Rebirth: From Devoted Wife to Ice Queen CEO   Chapter 34: "Finally, something we agree on,"

    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

  • Rebirth: From Devoted Wife to Ice Queen CEO   Chapter 33: “He better. This dress is a weapon.”

    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

  • Rebirth: From Devoted Wife to Ice Queen CEO   Chapter 31: "There she is—the future Mrs. Luo."

    The afternoon sun slanted through Aria's bedroom window, painting golden light across her floor. She tucked her legs beneath her on the cream velvet sofa, silk robe pooling around her feet. The jasmine tea in her cup had grown lukewarm, but she barely noticed as she traced lazy circles on the rim with her fingertip. She couldn't stop thinking about Adrian's and Selene wedding announcement. She never saw this coming. Yes Salene has always been in love with Adrian but Adrian never liked her. So what could be the reason of him agreeing to marry that same Salene now? She remembered that while she was married to Adrian in her first life, Salene married a billionaire from America but he died misteriously, and it was later know that Salene killed him. And this means the two murderers deserved each other. She picked up her phone that was laying on the cushion beside her, And dialled Qian's contact number. A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. Maybe it was time to start writing

  • Rebirth: From Devoted Wife to Ice Queen CEO   Chapter 30: "The Wu Corporation's announcement."

    There was still, no response from her, her thumb had stopped scrolling, her breathing had become shallow, almost imperceptible. The subtle hum of the car's engine filled the silence between them, disturbed only by the distant sounds of traffic from outside.With a heavy sigh, Ethan gently reached over and plucked the phone from her hands. Her fingers didn't even tighten around it—whatever she was looking at had completely consumed her, drawing her so far inward that everything else had become secondary.His brows drew together as he scanned the screen. It was a press statement, glossy and official, posted directly from the Wu Corporation's verified page. The company logo gleamed at the top—gold characters against pristine white.>Wu Corporation is pleased to announce the engagement of our heir and only son, Adrian Wu, to Miss Selene Chen, CEO of Chen Jewelries. The couple has found deep companionship and shared vision in both love and business. Their wedding will be held in the coming

  • Rebirth: From Devoted Wife to Ice Queen CEO   Chapter 29: "A very expensive one."

    Aria's intercom beep on her desk, with Anya's voice coming through. "Ma'am the press statement was just released."Aria's brow raised. "Thank you Anya."Aria picked up her phone immediately to check the statement. She tapped into Lin Corporation's official social media account, her fingers moving across her phone screen. It took forever for it to load, and there it was—pinned to the top.**PRESS STATEMENT**Lin Corporation is thrilled to announce the engagement of our esteemed CEO, Ms. Aria Lin, to her long-time assistant, Mr. Ethan Luo. Their journey from colleagues to lovers has inspired those closest to them, and after years of quiet romance, the couple is finally ready to take the next step."I've always believed in building both a company and a life with someone who understands your values," Ms. Lin shared during a private interview.
