Reborn Of The CEO’s Cold-Hearted Wife Chapter 156: Denial.
“Yes, sir,” the PI said, voice shaking now. “The person that attempted to get Mrs. Steele killed is her twin sister. Ms. Lilith.”Silence followed.Not the kind that settled in, but the kind that stalled, like the moment after a mistake, when everyone waits for it to be corrected. Xavier didn’t move. He didn’t breathe differently. He simply stayed there, staring ahead, as though the words hadn’t landed yet, as though the man on the other end of the line would clear his throat and take them back.A second passed. Then another.The silence stretched, heavy with expectation. Xavier was still waiting…waiting for a correction, for a different name, for anything that would undo what had just been said.When nothing came, his hand tightened painfully around the phone pressed against his ears, while the hand on the desk curled tightly into a fist. For a second…just a second, his mind refused to accept the words it had heard.Miss Lilith.The air felt heavier. Thicker. Like the room itself ha

Xavier sat behind his desk, shoulders squared and posture perfect, yet his attention was nowhere near the documents open in front of him.The office was quiet in the way only power-filled spaces ever were. Thick glass walls muted the world outside. The city skyline stretched endlessly behind him, but Xavier hadn’t looked at it once since he arrived that morning. His pen rested between his fingers, unmoving. The same page had been open for nearly ten minutes.“Sir,” Ms. Collins said gently, tablet tucked against her arm. “Your first meeting begins at ten thirty. Legal will be joining you for the quarterly compliance review. After that, you have lunch scheduled with the board at one.”Xavier didn’t respond.Ms. Collins glanced up from her tablet, pausing. She waited a beat, then continued, professional as always.“At three, you have a call with the European branch, followed by—”“Cancel the investor meeting,” Xavier said suddenly.Ms. Collins blinked. “Sir?”“The investor meeting,” he r

Aurora was still on the floor when her phone rang.Her back rested against the door, knees drawn up, arms wrapped tightly around herself like she was afraid she might fall apart if she let go. Her eyes were swollen, lashes clumped together with dried tears. Her chest still ached, that deep, hollow ache that didn’t disappear just because the crying stopped.The vibration against the carpet startled her.She looked down slowly, almost as if she didn’t recognize the sound anymore. Her phone screen lit up.Bobby.For a second, she considered ignoring it.She didn’t feel strong enough to talk. Not yet. Not after everything that had ripped itself open inside her.But Bobby never called without a reason.Aurora wiped her face with the back of her hand, drew in a steadying breath, and answered.“Bobby,” she said, her voice still rough. “What do you have for me?”There was a brief pause on the other end.Then Bobby spoke, slower than usual. His voice sharp and more attentive.“…Have you been c
Reborn Of The CEO’s Cold-Hearted Wife Chapter 153: Before She Learned to Survive.
Aurora couldn’t breathe.Her back was still pressed against the guest room door, her knees pulled to her chest, tears soaking into the sleeves of her clothes. The room was quiet but her mind wasn’t.How could it be, after what she had just heard.Her chest rose sharply, then fell. Her fingers dug into her arms as if grounding herself would stop the memories clawing their way up.But it was too late.The present blurred.And the past rushed in.—She was only six years old when she realized she was alone.Not the kind of alone where someone steps out of the room and promises to come back. Not the kind of alone that ends with a hug or a familiar voice calling your name.This was the kind of alone that swallowed you whole.She remembered standing on the sidewalk, her small fingers clutching the hem of her dress, shoes scuffed and dusty. She remembered crying until her throat burned, calling out names that never answered back.“Mama?”Nothing.“Papa?”Still nothing.“Lilith”Only passing

“What did you just say?”Aurora’s voice came out steadier than she felt.Inside, something had cracked, it was quiet but painful, still she forced her face to remain blank as her hand slid into her bag. Her fingers brushed her phone. She pulled it out slowly, deliberately, angling it so Lilith wouldn’t notice. The screen lit up. One tap.Record.Her heart was pounding so hard she could hear it in her ears, but she kept her breathing even.Lilith rolled her eyes, already bored with Aurora’s shock.“I said,” she repeated casually, “I did not mistakenly lose you when we were kids. It was intentional.”Aurora swallowed.“What are you talking about?” she asked softly.She needed Lilith to keep talking. Needed her to say it again. Needed proof…something concrete, something undeniable. Her chest ached with a pain so old and so deep it felt like it had been waiting for this moment all her life.Lilith scoffed.“Oh, please,” she said. “Don’t act like you’re shocked. You always were dramatic.”
Reborn Of The CEO’s Cold-Hearted Wife Chapter 151: The Thing She Finally Said.
Aurora had no choice now but to wait.Wait…and survive the fact that Lilith was living under the same roof as her.The drive home from the restaurant felt longer than usual. Not because of traffic, but because her mind wouldn’t slow down. Cole’s words echoed faintly, Bobby’s confirmation rang louder, and beneath it all was the constant, gnawing awareness that danger no longer lived outside the house. It lived inside it. Wore her face. Smiled with her mouth. Spoke with her voice.By the time Aurora stepped into the mansion, her shoulders were tight, her jaw clenched, her guard already raised.The house was quiet.But not too quiet.There was no sound of Xavier’s heavy footsteps and no familiar irritation humming in the air. The staff moved quietly, efficiently, avoiding her eyes the way they always did when tension had recently exploded in the house.Xavier wasn’t home, that much she could tell.That alone should have brought relief.Instead, it sharpened something in her chest.She wa
