Reborn, I’m Done Being The Don’s Wife

“Ms. Quinn, congratulations. You’re three months pregnant.”As I sat across from the family doctor, not a flicker of emotion crossed my face—not even a hint of joy.The doctor, who was clearly excited, reached for the phone to call Gideon Wade, but I took it straight from his hand.“There’s no need to do so.”The nurses exchanged confused looks, not understanding what I meant.With my status as the Don's wife, this child would be the family’s glory. They did not understand why I wanted to keep my pregnancy hidden. They had no idea that if anyone found out, this child would die with me, just like in my past life.In my previous life, Gideon and my parents took my younger sister, who had just returned from abroad, to the mountains to celebrate Christmas. I followed behind them quietly, watching them laugh and enjoy the holiday.When the weather turned bad, Gideon called a helicopter to take everyone home. However, even after it landed, not one of them remembered that I was stil

“What am I saying?” My mother wiped her tears and looked at me with contempt. “Isn’t it obvious? You're jealous of how well Gideon treats Bella, so you deliberately set out to get revenge. But did you ever stop to think that she’s your biological sister?” My father went along with her. “How could we have a daughter like you? You’re downright vicious!”Gideon suddenly released his grip. “Lock her in the dungeon. Keep her there until Bella wakes up so she can reflect on her sins.”“I didn’t. I’m really sick… I didn't sneak out with anyone…” My voice shook.“Of course, I know you didn't.” Gideon looked down with authority. “Evelyn, you're the woman who would die for me. How could you ever cheat?”He turned to Zerrick, scorn blazing in his eyes. “You only got close to him to spite me. You can play your games, but how dare you… deceive Bella.”My parents cried even louder when they heard that. It was as though their younger daughter were dying right then and there.Gideon’s fists ti

The last flicker of hope in my heart was snuffed out.Gideon looked down at me with a cold, detached stare. “Evelyn, you really have gone insane.”Then, he stepped closer. With deliberate cruelty, he crushed his boot down on my arm. “Which hand did you use to stab her?”I did not respond. I did not even have the strength to open my mouth. My body felt lifeless, like a corpse.“Not talking? Fine.”He drew a silver pistol and, without hesitation, pulled the trigger.Two deafening shots exploded.A bullet in each hand.The pain ripped through me, white-hot and unbearable. Tears burst from my eyes.Gideon did not even flinch. He simply slid the gun back into its holster.“Evelyn, that was your final warning. If you ever hurt Bella again, we’re done.”My parents’ smiles faltered when they heard his last sentence. They rushed to speak. “This vile woman will only cause more trouble, Don Wade! You should get rid of her at once. How can we ever feel at ease while she’s still around

Third-Person POV:“The groom? Do you take the lady standing opposite you to be your wife?” the priest repeated the question.Only then did Gideon respond, almost absentmindedly, “Yes, I do.”Bella froze for a moment, clearly sensing his lack of focus. However, with so many guests watching, she did not press further and just forced an awkward smile.When it came time for the kiss, Gideon seemed distracted. He pressed his lips to hers for barely two seconds before pulling away.Unable to hold back any longer, Bella yelled at him, “Gideon, do you even want to marry me?”The sudden outburst silenced the crowd. Even her parents, who had been laughing moments ago, looked uncomfortable.Gideon’s expression darkened. No one had ever spoken to him that way. Especially not in front of all these witnesses. He could not be embarrassed like this.Sensing the tension, Bella softened her tone and choked out, “I just think you… seem a little distracted… That’s why I yelled… I’m sorry…”Her vo

“The surveillance footage is all here, Don Wade.”Gideon took the chip and slid it into the computer. The screen flickered to life, showing Bella’s twisted, feral expression. She was dragging Evelyn out of the dungeon.“I want you to watch me live happily ever after! Then, you’ll die from jealousy!”He frowned as he fast-forwarded through the footage, until the moment where Bella finally blurted out the truth.“Let me tell you another secret. The baby I lost that day wasn’t even Gideon’s. His family is strict about these things. If they were to find out later on, it'd be even worse. Better to get rid of it early, right?“So really, I should thank you, my dear sister.”Gideon’s eyes widened. In the next second, he swept everything off the desk with one violent motion.“That bitch!”The one who lied to him was not Evelyn at all!The footage jumped to the wedding ceremony.He could be heard introducing her to everyone, “This is my wife, Bella Quinn.”Gideon’s chest tightened.
