Life inside the Steele mansion slowly fell back into its rhythm after Jaxon left. The laughter that once echoed in the garden quieted, replaced by the usual stillness that hung over the estate.

Elara slipped back into her cheerful chatter, her childlike energy filling the house once more. She asked questions at the breakfast table, told little stories about her dolls and her drawings, and sometimes sang under her breath while playing. To anyone else, it would look like nothing had changed.

  • Reborn Of The CEO’s Cold-Hearted Wife   Chapter 259: A Home, A War Waiting. AUTHOR’S POV.

    AUTHOR’S POV. Days later, the air in the hospital room felt lighter, calmer, almost like the storm had finally begun to settle. Jaxon sat upright on the bed, his legs swinging slightly as he looked around with curious, bright eyes that no longer carried that dull, lifeless weight they once held. The color had fully returned to his face, his breathing steady, his small fingers fidgeting with the edge of the blanket as though he was still trying to adjust to feeling… normal again. Aurora stood close to him, her arms folded tightly across her chest, but it wasn’t out of coldness. It was restraint. If she let herself, she would pull him into her arms and never let him go again. Dr. Halvorsen stood at the foot of the bed, flipping through Jaxon’s chart, his expression calm but clearly impressed. “Well,” he said, glancing up at Aurora, “I must say, this is one of the fastest recoveries I’ve seen from something this severe.” Aurora let out a quiet breath she didn’t even realize she ha

  • Reborn Of The CEO’s Cold-Hearted Wife   Chapter 258: What Was Stolen, What Was Found.

    AUTHOR’S POV. A couple of hours later, the air inside Jaxon’s hospital room felt… different. It wasn’t the sterile quiet anymore, or the suffocating tension that had wrapped itself around every breath taken in that space over the past days. There was still silence, yes…but it wasn’t heavy. It wasn’t suffocating. It felt… hopeful. Aurora sat beside the bed, her fingers wrapped tightly around Jaxon’s small, fragile hand, as though letting go—even for a second—might undo everything they had fought so hard for. Her thumb brushed over his skin again and again in slow, careful motions, like she was grounding herself, like she needed to feel him there to believe this was real. Because it was real. The color was coming back. It was faint, barely noticeable if you weren’t looking closely, but Aurora noticed. Of course she did. She noticed the slight warmth returning to his cheeks, the subtle change in his breathing, the way his chest rose a little stronger than before. He was still unc

  • Reborn Of The CEO’s Cold-Hearted Wife   Chapter 257: The Rage of a Mother.

    AUTHOR’S POV. Aurora didn’t hesitate the moment she stepped fully into the room, the door clicking softly behind her as the world outside seemed to fall away, leaving only the steady hum of machines and the fragile boy lying on the hospital bed, and for a second, she just stood there, staring at him, her chest rising and falling unevenly as the weight of everything settled deeper into her bones. That was her son, her child. Seven years. Seven years stolen. Her steps were slow at first, almost uncertain, like she was afraid that if she moved too fast, this would all disappear like a cruel illusion, but then something inside her snapped into place, something fierce and unyielding, and she closed the distance between them quickly, reaching for him. Her fingers wrapped around Jaxon’s small hand, her grip tightening instinctively, like she needed to feel him, to confirm he was real, and the moment her skin touched his, something broke inside her. She sank into the chair beside his

  • Reborn Of The CEO’s Cold-Hearted Wife   Chapter 256: Nothing Stays Hidden Forever.

    AUTHOR’S POV. Aurora’s eyelids fluttered open slowly, her vision blurred at first, the bright overhead lights stinging her eyes as consciousness returned in fragments, her body feeling heavier than usual, like something had drained every ounce of strength from her, and for a few seconds, she simply lay there, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling, trying to piece together where she was and how she got there. There was a faint, rhythmic beeping somewhere to her left, steady and clinical, and then she felt it—the warmth. A hand wrapped around hers, it felt firm and careful, almost…afraid. Her gaze shifted, her head turning slightly on the pillow, and that was when she saw him. Xavier. He was seated beside her bed, leaning forward, his elbows resting on his knees, his hand holding hers like he was afraid she would disappear if he let go, and the moment their eyes met, something in his expression shifted—relief, exhaustion, guilt—all crashing into one. Aurora frowned faintly, her brow

  • Reborn Of The CEO’s Cold-Hearted Wife   Chapter 255: The Truth That Shouldn’t Exist.

    AUTHOR’S POV. The lab had grown quieter, but not calmer. Aurora sat in the chair as Mira carefully prepared the syringe, the faint clinking of glass and metal sounding louder than usual in the tense silence. Daniel stood by the monitor, already setting up the system to receive her sample, while Thomas hovered near him, arms crossed, his eyes flicking between Aurora and the screen. Rhea and Samuel remained by the analysis table, going over previous results, and Evelyn stood slightly apart, watching Aurora with an unreadable expression. Aurora didn’t say anything, she simply extended her arm.“Let’s do it,” she said quietly. Mira nodded, her voice softer than usual.“This might sting a little.” Aurora gave a small, almost distracted nod.“It’s fine.” The needle slid into her vein smoothly, and Mira drew the blood with steady hands, placing it into labeled vials. Daniel immediately stepped forward to take them, moving with urgency but also precision, as if one wrong move could co

  • Reborn Of The CEO’s Cold-Hearted Wife   Chapter 254: The Only Option Left.

    AUTHOR’S POV. The cafeteria table had gone completely silent after Aurora’s words. “I found it. I know how we can get the antidote.” Every single member of her team—Mira, Daniel, Thomas, Rhea, Evelyn, and Samuel—was now staring at her, their exhaustion momentarily forgotten as hope surged through them all at once. They were waiting. Waiting for her to explain. Aurora could feel the weight of their expectations pressing down on her, but she did not rush her words. She took a slow breath, steadying her thoughts before speaking again. “I’m not sure,” she admitted honestly, her voice calm but firm, “but it is most likely the antidote.” Mira leaned forward slightly.“What do you mean, ‘most likely’?” Aurora’s eyes sharpened. “The antidote is not a chemical substance,” she said slowly, making sure every word landed, “but a DNA.” The table went quiet again. Thomas blinked.“What are you saying?” Rhea shook her head slightly, confusion evident on her face. “What are you trying to

  • Reborn Of The CEO’s Cold-Hearted Wife   Chapter 16: A question left unanswered. 

    The air inside the morgue clung to Xavier’s skin like ice, heavy and merciless. Each breath he drew felt foreign, shallow, as if the room itself rejected his presence. His eyes remained fixed on the tiny body laid out before him, and with that sight, memory pulled him under, dragging him back to a

    The ride from the airport had been unusually quiet. Jaxon sat pressed against the window, his small hand fidgeting with the strap of his backpack, his gray eyes…Xavier’s eyes, taking in every sight without a single word. Lilith kept her gaze forward, her features composed in that practiced mask of

No, it was the kind that pressed into the walls, crawled over his skin, and sank its claws into his chest. A silence so heavy it seemed to hum.Xavier stood just inside the f
