The car ride back to Lilith’s apartment was thick with unspoken tension. The air conditioner hummed low, but Xavier still felt the weight of the silence pressing against his temples. He kept his eyes on the road, jaw locked, his knuckles whitening against the steering wheel. Lilith sat beside him, her voice finally breaking the silence.

“I still can’t believe Dr. Halvorsen treated her like that,” she said, the words sharp but wrapped in feigned disbelief. “You saw how comfortable he was with her, didn’t you? Like they’ve known each other for years. It doesn’t make sense, Xavier. Aurora doesn’t have any medical background…unless…”

Xavier’s head snapped toward her so fast it startled her into silence. His eyes were cold and cutting. “Don’t,” he warned, his tone low and dangerous. “Don’t speak about her like that.”

Lilith blinked, then let out a small, incredulous laugh. “I’m only saying what everyone’s thinking. You saw them, didn’t you? The way he looked at her? The way she smiled at h

  • Reborn Of The CEO’s Cold-Hearted Wife   Chapter 99: Back in the Meadows.

    Aurora blinked, and the world around her shifted.The hospital… the crash… the pain…All of it dissolved.Soft sunlight brushed her skin. Wildflowers swayed around her ankles. The warm, gentle breeze carried that same faint lavender scent she’d come to recognize too well.Her stomach dropped.“No.” she whispered.Her voice trembled.She spun around, taking in the endless meadow stretching into a glowing horizon.“No. No. No. This…this can’t be happening. Not again.” Her breath quickened, panic clawing its way up her throat. “No. God, please, no—”A light chuckle echoed behind her.“Relax, sunshine.”Aurora whipped around.Fate stood there, barefoot in the grass, her little sundress fluttering like she weighed no more than air. Her curls bounced as she tilted her head, smiling with a gentleness that somehow made everything feel even more unreal.“You’re not dead.” Fate said with an amused shrug.Aurora stared at her little form, chest rising and falling fast. “What…what do you mean I’m

    The ambulance screeched into the hospital bay. Nurses rushed out. Doctor Henry was already waiting with a surgical team.“Mr. Steele,” he said swiftly. “We must take her in immediately. Internal injuries. Possible brain trauma. We need to operate now.”Xavier nodded, but his eyes were glued to Aurora. “Save her Henry, please save her.”“We will do everything we can.”He watched until the operating room doors swallowed her. Something inside him went unnervingly quiet.He stepped back into the hallway, pulling out Aurora’s phone. He called his driver through her contacts.When the man picked up, Xavier didn’t waste time.“Get to the crash site. My car is wrecked. Bring it to the hospital if it can move. If not, tow it. I don’t care. Just get here.”“Yes, sir.”“And bring me a new phone.”“Yes, sir.”The call ended. Xavier leaned back against the cold wall, staring at the red “OPERATING” light glowing above the metal doors.It felt like the longest hour of his life.—About thirty minute

    The sirens were still screaming when Xavier’s car tore onto the abandoned street, tires skidding across cracked pavement. The place looked exactly as he remembered it, empty shells of buildings, metal rods jutting out like broken bones, dust swirling in the afternoon sun.But today it felt more like a graveyard.His heart stopped when he saw the flashing lights ahead.And then he saw the stretcher.“Aurora—”His voice broke as he slammed the door shut and sprinted.Two paramedics were loading her into the ambulance, their movements quick, urgent. Her arm hung limply off the stretcher before one of them adjusted it. Xavier’s lungs seized.He ran harder.“Sir, you need to stay back—” one of the medics said, stepping in his path.“Get the fuck out of my way!” Xavier roared, shoving past him.“Sir—!”“Who are you?” another demanded, reaching for him.“I’m her husband,” Xavier snapped, his voice ragged, shaking. “Xavier Steele. And the woman lying there is Aurora Steele.”Silence.A beat.

    Xavier stepped out of the conference room, the last words of the meeting still echoing faintly behind him as the door clicked shut. He exhaled, rolling the tension out of his shoulders. It had been one of those stiff-collared, numbers-heavy meetings he hated, but what bothered him wasn’t the meeting itself.It was the moment he didn’t see his phone on the table.Before he could even ask, his secretary, Ms. Collins, approached with purposeful steps. At forty-seven, she carried herself with the calm efficiency of someone who had long mastered working under pressure, but today there was a crease between her brows.“Sir,” she said, holding his phone out with both hands, “your phone has been ringing nonstop.”Xavier’s brows pulled together.“Who was calling?”“Your wife sir,” she replied. “Repeatedly.”He froze.Aurora never called him. Not since their fallout. Barely even texted. The sight of dozens of missed calls lit a sharp spark of unease in his chest.“Did she tell you what she want

    She clutched the steering wheel with both hands, gasping as she sped away from the park road.Her breath came in sharp, uneven bursts, the kind that felt more like she was choking on fear than breathing air. Her chest rose and fell too quickly, her heart slamming against her ribs like it was trying to break free.Behind her, the dark sedan turned sharply onto the same street.Aurora’s stomach dropped.“No. No, no, no…please.” She whispered, voice cracking as she pressed harder on the accelerator.The engine roared, but the sedan didn’t fall back.It stayed behind her.Shadowing her movements.Matching her speed.Her fingers tightened around the steering wheel until her knuckles burned. She took a sharp turn into a street she didn’t recognize, branches scraping the side of her car as she veered off the main road.“God… God please,” she whispered, her voice shaking violently. “I can’t die. Not like this. Not again. Please…please, please, I need help. I haven’t changed anything yet…Elara

    Her heart plummeted to her stomach.The world around her blurred, her breathing stuttered, her hands trembled around her phone.What—What?Her pulse skyrocketed painfully.“W–what?” she whispered, voice strangled. “What is this? Who sent this?”She looked at the number.Unknown.No name. No ID.But the message…The timing…Her chest constricted like she couldn’t pull in enough air.Because deep down… deep, deep down, she already knew.Lilith had set her up.A cold, creeping terror slid through her body, sinking straight into her bones.“Oh my God…” she whispered, her throat closing.Her breathing turned shallow…panic, realization, fear and fury all punching through her chest at once.She sagged back against the seat, pressing a shaking hand to her forehead. The sting of the impact didn’t matter right now.The message did.‘Someone is trying to kill you, do not go to the park.’A warning.A desperate one.And she knew there was no way the message could have been from Lilith.That muc
