Reborn Of The CEO’s Cold-Hearted Wife Chapter 168: No Way Out.
Aurora woke up slowly, awareness creeping in before her body fully followed. The first thing she noticed was the feel beneath her fingers…smooth, cool and expensive. She opened her eyes and froze.Dark Italian silk sheets.Her breath caught as she pushed herself upright, heart immediately slamming against her ribs. She wasn’t tied. Her wrists were free. Her legs moved easily beneath the sheets. That alone felt wrong. Alarming in a quieter, more dangerous way.“Okay…” she whispered to herself, her voice hoarse. “Okay. Where am I?”The room was unfamiliar but deliberate. It had minimal decorations, and was clean…really clean. It had dark wood floors, muted walls, heavy curtains pulled back just enough to let in light. She swung her legs off the bed, standing carefully, every sense on high alert. Her head throbbed faintly, but she was clear enough to think. Clear enough to be afraid.She walked toward the window and looked out.Woods.Endless trees stretching in every direction, thick

They searched through the night.By the time Xavier reached the location the bodyguard had sent, the street was already swarming with activity…police cars lined up with flashing lights muted but insistent, officers moving in coordinated patterns, radios crackling nonstop. The air smelled like oil, damp concrete, and panic. Xavier stepped out of his car before it had fully stopped, his eyes scanning the area like he expected Aurora to step out of the shadows at any second, irritated and alive and furious.“She was here,” the bodyguard said the moment he saw Xavier, his face pale, sweat beading along his hairline. “Right here, sir. She was walking this direction.”Xavier rounded on him. “Show me.”They moved together, fast. The guard pointed toward a narrow stretch of road that dipped into a quieter part of town, streetlights spaced too far apart, shadows pooling thickly between buildings.“She slowed down here,” the guard continued. “Like she realized something was wrong.”“Did she ru

The moment Aurora stepped out of the house, Xavier reacted on instinct.He was still standing in the hallway, chest tight, anger buzzing under his skin from the things she had just said to him, from the way she had looked at him like he was something rotten she could no longer stomach, when he pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed one of the guards stationed outside the estate.“Follow her,” he said the second the line connected, his voice clipped and sharp. “Not from her face. From a distance. I don’t want her feeling watched. But I want eyes on her at all times.”“Yes, sir,” the guard replied immediately. “She just got into a cab. I’ve got it.”“Do not lose her,” Xavier warned, already turning away. “Not for a second.”“I won’t, sir.”The call ended, and Xavier walked back into the house like a man carrying a storm inside him. He went straight to his study, shutting the door behind him with more force than necessary, his steps restless, his mind anything but calm. Aurora’s wo

Xavier didn’t raise his voice when he spoke, but there was something in his tone that made Aurora’s spine stiffen instantly. “Aurora, we need to talk.”She didn’t look at him. Her hands were clenched at her sides, nails biting into her palms as if grounding herself was the only thing stopping her from completely unraveling. “I have nothing to say to you,” she replied coldly. “Get out.”He sighed, already tired, already framing her reaction in a way that made sense only to him. “You’re overreacting,” he said, stepping further into the room instead of leaving. “You need to calm down.”That did it.To Xavier, this was simple. He had seen her upstairs earlier, walking away, stiff-backed and clearly upset. He had assumed…wrongly, disastrously, that this was about Lilith staying in the mansion. He had even rehearsed what he would say on his way here, how he would explain that it was temporary, that Lilith was vulnerable, that everything was under control. What he did not know…what he cou

Xavier walked Lilith down the corridor himself, his hand resting lightly at the small of her back as though she might collapse if he let go. The mansion was quiet, the kind of silence that followed chaos rather than peace. Lilith’s steps were slow, deliberate, her shoulders slightly hunched, every movement carefully crafted to look fragile without appearing rehearsed. When they reached her room, Xavier stopped at the door, his expression still tight, still strained, though the anger from earlier had dulled into something far more dangerous…uncertainty.“You don’t have to worry anymore,” he said gently, opening the door for her. “I’ll take care of Billy. I’ll make sure he doesn’t come near you again.”Lilith turned to him immediately, eyes widening as if alarmed by the very idea. “No,” she said quickly, shaking her head. “Xavier, no. This is my problem. You shouldn’t get involved. Billy is dangerous. You don’t know what he’s capable of, and I don’t want you getting hurt because of m

Lilith shook her head almost immediately, the denial coming too fast, too clean. “I don’t know who Billy is,” she said, her voice steady enough that someone who didn’t know her would have believed it.Xavier scoffed, the sound sharp and full of disbelief. From the staircase above, Aurora lifted a brow slowly, her expression caught somewhere between disbelief and dark amusement. Even she, watching from a distance, could see how poorly that lie was stitched together. Still, she said nothing. She leaned slightly against the banister, content to observe, eyes sharp and mind alert.“Then who was the man at the restaurant?” Xavier asked, his voice dangerously calm.Lilith crossed her arms as if offended by the question. “I already told you. I don’t know him.”“Oh yeah?” Xavier said, taking a step forward. “Then tell me…what exactly have you been working on in the lab for the past week?”Lilith blinked, clearly thrown off by the sudden shift. “What is going on?” she asked, irritation seepin
