Celine wiped the last of her tears away, composing herself as she pulled back from our embrace. She studied me, her brows knitted together in frustration, concern, and something else—something close to desperation.

"Sydney," she said, her voice firm, "you need to leave him. Now. You should've left him the moment you realized what kind of monster he is. What the hell are you still doing there?"

I expected this reaction. In fact, I had counted on it. Celine had always been fiercely protective, even when we had our falling out. She was one of the few people who saw Eric for what he truly was from the start, and she had never been shy about her disdain for him.

I took a deep breath, leaning back against the plush seat of the café booth we had settled into.

"I will, Celine," I promised. "I will get a divorce."

Her eyes narrowed slightly, sensing the unspoken ‘but’ hanging in the air between us.

"Then what the hell is stopping you?" she demanded. "Why wait? File the damn papers and get out.

  • Reborn: I Give My Husband Back to His True Love   Chapter 1

    The sharp sounds of silverware hitting plates filled the dining room as we gathered for yet another ‘family dinner.’I, for one, hadn’t touched my food, not that anyone noticed.I had no appetite. I was too deep in my own disbelief and grappling with my thoughts to care about food.Here I am, experiencing the worst day of my life.“You know, some women bring more than their charm and an image to a family.” This came from my father-in-law, Chairman Stanley, as he began his usual backhanded sarcasm towards me anytime we had dinner together.His voice was smooth, cold, and calculated as he swirled the wine in his glass.Of course, his ever-willing ally, Yanique— my sister-in-law, and the worst pain in the ass—was there to back him.His sharp eyes flicked to me for a moment before settling on his daughter. “Others, unfortunately, seem content to coast on the hard work of others.”Yanique smirked, setting her glass down with a soft clink. “Oh, I know, Father,” she replied, her tone drippi

  • Reborn: I Give My Husband Back to His True Love   Chapter 2

    I remembered the exact moment the accident happened. One moment I was driving home, and the next, I was in a hospital bed, hooked up to machines.I still remember the nurse’s face when she told me my husband hadn’t come to visit. After two weeks, I’m pretty sure he ended my treatments… cut me off.He had killed me too.Or, at the very least, let me die.His mistress had been there, her voice dripping with false sympathy. “He never really loved you. You were just convenient.”My heart rate went haywire, and the machines beeped wildly as she delivered the final blow.“And finally get to raise my child as my own.”Lying there, my body too weak to fight back and my mind slipping into oblivion, I thought of my father. The kind of man who had given everything for me, his only child. Prestige Global Enterprises was his legacy, and I was his world after my mother passed away. He poured his love into me and his work, and I felt foolish now that I didn’t heed his warnings. "Don’t let anyone

  • Reborn: I Give My Husband Back to His True Love   Chapter 3

    The Stanley estate had never been this quiet before.Not a single snide remark from Yanique. No disdainful glances from Chairman Stanley. Even my mother-in-law, who usually had a pitiful smile plastered on her face whenever I was being berated, had retreated into silence.A full week had passed since I announced I wanted a divorce.A full week of watching them tiptoe around me as if I were a ticking time bomb. A full week of silence.They didn’t want to lose me—not yet. I was still valuable to them. My father’s influence in Prestige Global Enterprises was too great for them to risk cutting me loose. Without his backing, their grip on the business wouldn’t be as firm.It was strange, almost eerie, how the house, once filled with veiled insults and cutting remarks, had turned into something… else.The tension hadn’t disappeared—it had simply shifted. Instead of open disdain, there was cautious quiet. Instead of outright hostility, there was forced kindness.Because they still needed me.

  • Reborn: I Give My Husband Back to His True Love   Chapter 4

    The morning sunlight streamed through the dining room windows as I sat quietly, stirring my tea, watching Eric from the corner of my eye.He looked tired—more so than usual. There were faint shadows under his eyes, the crease between his brows deeper than before. His hands trembled slightly as he buttered his toast, a movement so small that most wouldn’t notice. But I did.A few days had passed since I first asked about the orphanage. And still, Eric had yet to take me. He had never been this hesitant before.At first, his excuses were small, barely noticeable—he was too busy with work, or there were logistical issues with the visit. But as time stretched on, his reasons became more elaborate. Too elaborate. Something was wrong. And I knew exactly what it was.The child wasn’t from an orphanage. He never had been.Eric had slipped, and now he was scrambling to cover his tracks. But the most interesting part? He still thought he could win me over.Instead of arguing, instead of being h

  • Reborn: I Give My Husband Back to His True Love   Chapter 5

    It was a beautiful day to annoy the hell out of my husband and make him feel like crap. And the best part? He wouldn’t say anything because he didn’t want to upset me.The sun was bright, the streets bustling, and I walked with purpose. For the first time in years, I didn’t tuck my head down or slip into the background like a quiet shadow. No, I walked like I wanted to be seen. Like I wanted the world to remember who I was.Cameras flashed from the corners of the high-end shopping district, and I didn’t flinch. People whispered behind their hands, their eyes widening as they recognized me. Sydney Carter, the golden princess of the Carter family, was back.I had spent the last three years avoiding attention. Keeping my head down. Playing the role of the obedient wife because it made Eric comfortable. He never liked the idea that people thought he married up. He preferred the illusion that we were equals, that his presence alone was what kept me shining. He hated that my last name carri
