2026-04-16 12:00:11Sam's POV
Out of nowhere, the music slipped into a hush of rising violins, piano notes curling like smoke through the air. Light dripped down from above, pooling in corners where shadow met silk. Dancers moved as if pulled by breath alone, their forms stretching thin beneath the glow. The room held its pulse under gilded beams that shimmered just enough to blur what was real.
Without a word, Ethan just went ahead. He moved before anyone could say no.
Out of nowhere, he re

Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 195: From Pain to Peace
Sam's POVOutside my room, the balcony held onto sunset's glow as if it knew I'd arrive late.There by the rail, my palms flat against the cold stone, colors bled across the horizon - orange melting into pink, then bruising into purple. Out beyond the edge, water flickered under shifting light, each wave arriving just as the last one faded. Air drifted through, bringing sea tang mixed with something sweet, maybe flowers opening in the dark. Stillness settled in. No rush. Moments like this do not fix things - they simply let them be, like exhaling after too long without knowing you were clenched.Thoughts wandered, like they occasionally do now, toward who I used to be - back when I was her.That person passed away by themselves in the eastern part of this same property.Even now, the last days cling sharp in my mind - how strength drained bit by bit, silence pressing close like fabric too tight. Gwen brought tea with a grin that never reached her e
Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 194: The End of Their Shadows
Ethan's POVA voice broke through the stillness just past nightfall, once plates were cleared and rooms settled into silence.Midway through checking papers for the worldwide rollout, inside my quiet section of the office, the dedicated phone started buzzing. It showed the digits linked to our top legal advisor on active prosecutions. My hand reached out fast - same tightness creeping back into my neck.It was the lawyer who spoke first. Mr. Sterling, he began, voice flat. The verdict came down today. Life behind bars for Gwen Farley - that part is certain. Thirty-five years minimum before any chance of release. Not that there will be one, likely. Charges stacked high: trying to kill more than once, plotting murders, lying under oath, paying off officials, stealing company secrets. Every count stuck. He got the same kind of punishment as Victor did. Every trust tied to their relatives has now ended, then moved through the updated rules set by you and Mrs. Sterli
Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 193: She Finally Belonged
Sam's POVThe dining hall felt different tonight.It wasn’t about flashy details or grand displays - simplicity was the point. Light glowed gently, petals came straight from garden beds on the property, while a stretched table waited, ready for close kin only. Outsiders stayed away. Reporters were absent. There was no act to uphold. The Sterlings sat as one, drawn into a moment that finally seemed real, something I hadn’t seen since stepping into their lives.That morning, footsteps matched mine as Ethan stayed close, his palm resting just above my waist. Light bounced off the band on my hand each time we shifted forward - something solid, something said without words under tropical skies. Pulse calm now, nothing like before when gatherings tightened my chest like old habits. This time, no need to tense up waiting for sideways comments or cold looks across the room.Up stood Mrs. Evelyn when we walked in. Her gaze met mine - soft, honoring, ne
Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 192: The Past Finally Let Go
Sam's POV“I forgive you. That night is gone. This one is ours.”Out there, the moment spilled into silence after I spoke, floating like mist across the moonlit room. His fingers pressed harder into mine, air snagging in his chest while new tears traced familiar paths. Not fast, but careful, my gaze moved through the space - that grand bed again, dressed just so in clean white sheets, blossoms pale and quiet beside them, waves murmuring beyond the wide-open doors. Nearly identical, every piece matched what we’d known when saying yes beneath these same stars.But everything felt different now.Long held, the past now slips, easing its hold. Still present - the quiet chill, the full glass left sitting, his back toward me, rest taken where warmth should have been - moments that carved who I became. Shaping dread, shaping resolve when life restarted. Yet control has shifted; it does not claim me anymore.This person before me now bear
Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 191: First Wedding Night
Ethan's POVHigh above the private island, the moon painted a shimmering trail on dark water while we made our way to the main villa. Fingers laced together, mine with hers, her thumb moving slow across my skin like she always did when words weren’t needed. Bare feet in warm sand earlier, laughter caught by sea wind - moments stitched softly over past hurt. Still, some corners remained untouched. One spot neither of us had stepped into yet.The bridal suite.Down the well-known trail I led her, moving beyond flowerbeds then climbing the secluded steps. Not once did Sam wonder about our destination. Instead, she walked behind without question, sure of my lead. The thick oak door stood ahead; I stopped there, fingers resting on the cold knob. Light from above poured in through high glass panes, exactly like that evening years ago when we said our vows.My chest felt tight when I faced her, yet my mind was made up.“Before we move forward
Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 190: Back Where It Began
Sam's POVA single-engine plane landed where my journey began again, twelve months to the minute since I walked away changed.This moment stayed calm. My heartbeat didn’t jump. Fear didn’t cloud my expression, nor did stubborn will hide behind it. Instead, I felt Ethan’s palm - warm, unmoving - wrapped around my fingers when the door cracked open; then came that known salt-heavy wind.Back we came, soft footed - zero fanfare, no planners hovering, none of that million-dollar glitter. Only us two, slipping into days meant just for remembering how it started. This moment feels like sealing an old book while already flipping open another.Down the steps he guided me, one hand at my waist like it belonged there. Sand, sun-warmed underfoot, shifted with each step we took together. Golden light painted everything - the long stretch of shore, the quiet hush of water meeting land. For a moment I stopped moving. The past rushed in, yes - but soft
