Reborn:The mafia king wife Chapter 28: The Man Who Should Have Been Dead
The headlights flooded through the basement window.Daniel Mercer's face turned ghostly pale."They found me..."His voice trembled.Not with uncertainty.With certainty.The certainty of a man who had spent years running from monsters.A man who knew exactly what happened when they caught up.---Outside, vehicle doors slammed shut.One after another.Heavy footsteps followed.Several men.More than several.An organized team.---Elena immediately moved toward the basement stairs.Her mind was already calculating.Exits.Distances.Escape routes.Options.Unfortunately...There weren't many.---The house sat isolated near the coastline.The nearest neighbors were hundreds of meters away.Police response would take time.Too much time.And judging from Daniel's reaction, these men weren't interested in witnesses.---"Can you walk?"Elena asked.---Daniel nodded weakly.---"Barely."---Not good.Not good at all.---The old engineer looked exhausted.His injuries were fresh.Rece
Reborn:The mafia king wife Chapter 27: The Ghost Engineer
Daniel Mercer.The name echoed through Elena's mind long after midnight.Officially, he was dead.According to government records, he had died in the Factory Seven explosion ten years ago.The report had listed him among the victims.His family received compensation.His death certificate had been issued.His case was closed.Yet the shipping manifest Elena discovered told a different story.A shipment signed under Daniel Mercer's name had been processed two weeks after his supposed death.One of the records was wrong.And Elena trusted the shipping manifest more than the death certificate.Because she had already learned one important lesson.People could forge documents.People could erase evidence.But mistakes always remained.Someone had forgotten about the shipping records.And that mistake might finally lead her to the truth.---The next morning, Elena skipped school.Not entirely.She attended homeroom.Signed attendance.Then quietly left campus.A small privilege of being R
Reborn:The mafia king wife Chapter 26 : The Harbour Secret
The receipt sat beneath Elena's desk lamp.A small piece of paper.Ordinary.Forgettable.Easy to overlook.Yet among dozens of fake documents, it was the only item that appeared genuine.Which meant it mattered.Very much.Elena carefully studied the faded text.A shipping terminal near the harbor.Warehouse Dock 14.Transaction date: three months before the Factory Seven explosion.Recipient: Unknown.Authorization code: partially erased.At first glance, it seemed insignificant.But Elena understood something most people didn't.The truth often hid inside details others ignored.And this receipt felt important.Very important.---The next morning, Elena skipped breakfast.Not because she wasn't hungry.Because she was impatient.Every instinct told her she was finally approaching something real.Not another fake lead.Not another trap.Something genuine.Something Victor Kane had accidentally overlooked.Or perhaps failed to destroy.Either possibility worked in her favor.---At
Reborn:The mafia king wife Chapter 25:The Shadow Behind the Trap
The warehouse remained silent.Too silent.Elena crouched behind a large metal container, her breathing steady despite the danger surrounding her.The documents she had recovered were secured inside her bag.The armed men were still searching.And somewhere behind everything...Victor Kane was watching.Maybe not personally.But his influence was here.His plan.His trap.His message.The realization only strengthened Elena's resolve.If Victor was willing to go this far to stop her investigation, then Factory Seven was even more important than she originally thought.---A flashlight beam swept across the aisle.Elena remained perfectly still.The light passed.Then disappeared.A few seconds later, distant footsteps moved away.Searching elsewhere.For now.---Slowly, Elena pulled several documents from her bag.If she was trapped here, she might as well examine what had nearly gotten her killed.Using her phone's dim screen as light, she reviewed the records.At first glance every
Reborn:The mafia king wife Chapter 24: The Warehouse Trap
The address stared back at Elena from the document.A simple warehouse number.Nothing unusual at first glance.Yet her instincts refused to ignore it.Every major breakthrough in the Factory Seven investigation had begun with something small.A forgotten payment.A missing employee.A hidden blueprint.Now this address had appeared among Thomas Reed's records.That alone made it important.The question was whether it contained answers.Or danger.Perhaps both.---Elena spent the next day researching the location.The warehouse sat on the edge of the industrial district.Officially, it belonged to a transportation company.Unofficially...The records were a mess.Ownership had changed multiple times.Several companies existed only on paper.Financial reports contradicted one another.And some files had disappeared completely.That alone was suspicious.People didn't erase records without a reason.---That evening, Elena made a decision.She would investigate personally.Not because
Reborn:The mafia king wife Chapter 23: The first Trap
The anonymous message remained on Elena's mind.Stop investigating Factory Seven.Four simple words.No signature.No explanation.Just a threat.And threats usually meant one thing.She was getting closer to the truth.Elena sat at her desk before sunrise, reviewing every document she had gathered so far.Factory Seven.Thomas Reed.Victor Kane.The Serpent Circle.The hidden underground facility.The pieces were finally beginning to connect.Yet there were still gaps.Too many gaps.Someone had spent years burying the truth.Years erasing evidence.Years silencing witnesses.Finding answers would not be easy.But Elena never expected it to be.In her previous life, she built a billion-dollar empire from nothing.Compared to that, uncovering a conspiracy was simply another challenge.A dangerous challenge.But a challenge nonetheless.---Downstairs, breakfast was unusually quiet.Richard Hart appeared distracted.His eyes repeatedly drifted toward documents beside his plate.Busines
