Lilly POV

My thoughts were interrupted with the sudden bang on the door, I looked up and saw the doctor walking towards me.

"Are you ok, Miss Anderson?" He asked with a shaking voice.

Is he scared of me? Why was he scared? Then again, the previous owner of this body was a scary being who does feel pain, but now that I am here, thereof will be some changes.

Back to the present.

"Am fine?" I told him blankly, I wanted to smile, but it seems this body doesn't express any emotion whatsoever, I don't even feel anything when the nurse injected me. It's weird.

How can someone feel nothing, not even pain

or anger

nor happiness

"Where are they?" I asked the doctor eventually

"Who?"

Why was he acting dumb? Doesn't he know that I was asking about Lillianna annoying family members.

"You know who?" I answered him blankly.

"Oh, I am so sorry, I may have informed them that you were dead. They went home to organize a press conference to announce your death to the world," he answered nervously.

"So soon,"

'I will call to inform them immediately that.............."

"Don't bother, you may leave."

I told him to leave because I need to be alone right now. Immediately he left with the nurse, I laid down to process the memories I got from the previous owner of this body.

i had always thought rebirth and reincarnation happen in the movies and books, but I was reborn into the body of an emotionless being that considers emotional people as fools and pathetic people.

#Anderson Empire Building#

James POV

I need to announce my daughter's death to the world, although I do pity her a little. I guess she deserves it. She is just like her annoying mother.

She may have been a money-making machine for me when she was alive, but that didn't change the fact that she had been the one stopping my dream of taking over Anderson empire due to a stupid will my late wife wrote now that she was finally dead, I need to announce it to the world and peaceful, graciously take over what was rightfully mine.

"I'm sorry for inviting you all here within short notice. I am grieving right now."

"Why are you grieving, sir?" One of the reporters interrupted me. They won't even let me finish but I really need to act like a father who just lost his whole world if not the international investor will definitely pull out and the shares I have been trying to protect will fall rapidly but I could even know what was happening.

"I'm a Father who just lost his daughter; I paused dramatically and allowed tears to fall from my eyes, I know and being melodramatic right, but this melodrama was needed.

"What!

"Who?"

"Which of your daughters?"

" Mr Anderson, please do answer our questions

Different questions at the same time, just what I wanted, Their sympathy

"My daughter Lillianna is dead,"

I finally announce with more tears coming out.

"What happened," a female reporter asked. The shock was evident in her shaky voice.

"Was she sick?"

"Did she get into an accident?"

"According to the news yesterday, she was in a business gathering. What suddenly happened?

All the reporters were just asking me different questions at the same time. I'm sure the internet is in an uproar right now after Lillianna is not an ordinary woman, She was the Queen of the business world and she never hesitates to crush her opponent and a lot of people fear her that was how ruthless she is was.

I can't imagine what was going on in the business world right now, am sure they found it unbelievable that the girl nicknamed 'ice queen' who came into the business world when she was 18 and made a falling company becomes one of the biggest company in New York City, suddenly dead, they we are definitely not going to take the news well. The reporters are still harbouring me with questions until my wife Jane takes over from me.

"Our daughter died of food poisoning, I did not know what happened or who tried to kill my baby," She said in between sopping, I think she is a better actor than me.

No one will even know that she was lying or making things up. Lucky me, right?

Helena POV

Even at death, that bitch won't let us rest. Who the hell does she think is, she always stole my limelight now she was finally dead and I still need to cry for her.

I spent so much time doing my makeup, now because of that bitch, I allowed tears to ruin my beautiful makeup, but I knew I need to keep on acting like Dad and Mom.

There’s too many characters and irrelevant people that doesn’t fit the plot. So far, the book doesn’t capture the much needed attention. It’s written all over the place instead of focusing on one or two characters. Should’ve been written in a third person instead of characters POV.

  • Rebirth: Ice Queen    Chapter 200: Finally home

    Fairy tales didn’t exist. Ray had always known that. And yet, he had let himself believe. Believe that after everything, he could finally have his happy ending. That Lily would come back, that they would put all the chaos behind them and just… be. But four months had passed. Four months, and she was nowhere to be found. And in those four months, she had caused more destruction than she probably even realized. The Anderson family was gone. The Manchester family had been silenced. The power structures that once dictated everything had crumbled beneath the weight of her actions. And yet, the world had gone eerily quiet. The media barely spoke about it. There were no reports, no scandalous headlines, no outrage. It was as if the universe had conspired to erase all traces of her, making her untouchable. He couldn’t reach her. He couldn’t speak to her. He couldn’t even see her. It was hell. And the worst part? It was starting to feel like the version of hell he had

    The silence stretched between them.Lilly and Jerry—two people who had seen death, caused death, lived among death—now sat here, unable to make sense of the one loss that actually hurt.Lilly swallowed the lump in her throat.“I thought I could tell you that time would heal this. That one day, you’d wake up, and the pain would be gone.”Jerry gave her a hollow stare, waiting for her to continue.“But that would be a lie.”Her voice broke slightly, but she pushed through.“The truth is… you won’t wake up one day and magically feel okay. You’ll carry this pain with you. Every damn day.”Jerry’s jaw clenched. He knew that already, he knows deep down he will never get over losing his love right before it could even blossom.Lilly reached out and placed a hand over his.“But you’ll learn to live with it,” she whispered. “Because that’s what Chloe would have wanted. She didn’t fight this hard, endure this much, just for either of us to fall apart when she’s gone.”Jerry let out a ragged bre

    Ray stared at her, his heart pounding in his chest.“One… m-m-month?” His voice cracked. “That’s too much, wifey.”His grip on her hands tightened, as if afraid that if he let go, she would disappear before his eyes.Lilly’s lips trembled, but she held her ground.“At least this way, you won’t be married to a woman who is mentally unstable, Ray,” she said softly. “And worse—a woman who shares her new body with her dead twin’s split personality.”Ray’s body stiffened.“Split what?” His brows furrowed, convinced he had misheard.Lilly sighed, wiping the stray tear that escaped her eye. “I’m sure you’ve already guessed it, Ray. You’ve seen it. You’ve felt it. Lia and I… we aren’t just one person. And I need to do this—for myself, for you, and for our baby.”Her voice wavered.“I need to be able to give you the same love you’ve given me. To birth our baby in a safe place. Please, Ray… please.” She squeezed his hands, her tears falling freely now.Ray felt something twist in his chest.Lil

    The room felt unbearably heavy.Jerry sat still, his elbows on his knees, his head in his hands.And then, without warning—A sob tore through him.“Haaaaaa~~~” he yelled out. For the first time in life he felt like someone was trying to zap life out of him.The kind that clawed out from the depths of his soul, ripping past the walls he had spent years building.Tears streamed down his face. He didn’t even bother to wipe them.This wasn’t grief.This was devastation.This was an unbelievable moment, it was only aFew days ago that he realized the extend of his live for Chloe and now she dead.Dead just like that.This was the feeling of watching the one person who made life feel like more than just blood and war—slip through his fingers.He had lost Chloe.And now, what was left of him?Nothing.Nothing but this unbearable silence, this emptiness that no amount of vengeance could ever fill.He clenched his fists.He had always thought himself untouchable, someone who laughed in the fa

  • Rebirth: Ice Queen    Chapter 196: The Silence That Follows

    The room was too quiet.The kind of silence that made the air feel heavier, pressing against their chests like an unbearable weight.Lilly sat frozen, her eyes staring into nothing.She wasn’t crying. She wasn’t speaking.She just sat there, lost in the void.Ray was right behind her, not touching, not speaking just there.Because what could he say? What could he do?There were no words for grief like this. No bandage for wounds that cut this deep.On the other side of the room, Jerry knelt beside Chloe’s bed, his hands gripping hers with a desperation that made his knuckles turn white.His lips moved, whispering something under his breath.A prayer.Jerry Manchester the man who had never feared death, who had laughed in the face of danger—was now begging.To a God he didn’t even believe in.“Please—”His voice cracked, his fingers tightening around Chloe’s.“Please, don’t take her.”Tears burned at the corners of his eyes, but he refused to let them fall.He didn’t cry. Not Jerry Man

    The scent of iron was thick in the air.Lilly’s eyes, cold and unyielding, swept across the men standing by. Their hesitation irritated her.“What the hell are you all waiting for?” Her voice cracked through the tense silence, sharp as a whip.The men snapped to attention.“Get him out of there. Now.”She didn’t need to say it twice.Two men rushed forward, reaching into the trunk and dragging David Deluca’s battered body out. His weight was dead, limp, his blood smearing against their gloves.“Take him to Damon.”Her tone left no room for argument.The men moved swiftly, disappearing into the building with their barely breathing cargo.Lilly stood still, her breathing measured, her fingers clenched so tightly her nails bit into her palms.She should feel satisfaction.But for some reason—She didn’t.Inside, the air was suffocating.The rhythmic beeping of the life support machine filled the room—until suddenly, the sound changed.The sharp, rapid BEEP—BEEP—BEEP sliced through the ai
