Chapter 4

Author: Anonymous
A decade went by in the blink of an eye.

A lot has happened, and even more has changed.

After I finished my undergraduate degree, I was endorsed for a PhD program. Soon, I found myself settling down in the capital with my own research team.

Life was quite fulfilling. Even though I was not rich, at least I didn’t have to depend on the favor of others to make a living.

Occasionally, I would catch up with old classmates from school on the phone. One way or another, the conversation would be ste

  • Reborn Together, Separate Ways   Chapter 9

    Another three years had gone by.On the day Foster-Kubert Technologies went public, Elara and I were perched on the platform at the stock exchange while a blur of flashing lights went off all around us.She was dressed in a handsome suit with her arms linked with mine. Her smile looked more radiant than the chandelier shining overhead.Meanwhile, for every celebration, there was also misery.After several major strategic mistakes, the Bernhards were facing bankruptcy sooner than anyone expected.When the news finally popped up, Elara and I were in the middle of hosting our friends in our newly purchased villa.The headline “Bernhard Corporation Declares Bankruptcy” was printed in bold across the screen. It was accompanied by a picture of Klay being surrounded by a flock of reporters.“I heard he had to mortgage his last property,” a friend remarked while sipping her red wine. “His whole family is crammed into a small apartment in the suburbs.”Elara clicked her tongue before tu

    The days that followed flew by like turning the pages of a book. My life with Elara was only getting better.I managed to register a patent for an energy renewal project I was working on. Shortly after that, Elara seized the opportunity and secured several large contracts for me using her business connections.In the first year of launch, profits exceeded everyone's expectations.One night when she was lying on the bed doing the accounting, her eyes suddenly lit up.“Wow, Dr. Kubert. I think we’re rich.”I smiled and ruffled her hair. “This is only the beginning.”As it turned out, I was right.As the project continued to grow, our wealth ballooned.With her business insight and my technical expertise, Foster-Kubert experienced thunderous growth and quickly cemented itself as a central player in the industry.Meanwhile, Enya's life had taken a sharp turn for the worse.Initially, she relied on her memories from our past life to make guided investment decisions for Klay.Howe

    I’ll let them get up to whatever they do. I’m content with my life.Four days after Elara returned, we went to the government office to get our marriage license.Afterwards, she held up her marriage license to the sunlight and took a picture so she could post it online.Her caption was short and simple. It read, “Final chapter.”Countless likes followed, and notifications bombarded her phone.Then, she suddenly showed me her phone. “Look!”Among a bunch of congratulatory comments, Enya's like stood out like a sore thumb.Shortly after, my phone began to vibrate.It was a call from an unknown number.“Hello?”“Dominic…” I could tell from Enya’s voice that she was crying.“Can you just meet me once? Just one meeting will do…”I immediately hung up and blocked her.For the next three hours, I felt as if my phone was infected with a virus.I received a barrage of calls from a dozen different unknown numbers. Sometimes, I would be met with prolonged silence, while other time

    Ever since the reunion, Enya had been all over me as if she had gone mad.When my phone lit up at two a.m., I knew it was her without having to check.“Dominic, did you do it on purpose?”“You're just with her to get on my nerves, is that right?”“You loved me so much in our past life, how could you change your mind just like that?”I merely skimmed through them but couldn't even be bothered to open them. I swiped them away without a thought.The next morning, my phone would not stop vibrating.“Do you remember how you carried me through two blocks to the hospital when I was sick in our past life?”“And that one time on my birthday when you took an overnight flight back home just so you could give me my present in person…”I frowned upon receiving them. I didn't bother reading the rest of the messages anymore. All I did was navigate through the menu to delete the entire conversation and block her.Ridiculous!She seemed to remember every detail of our past life except for th

    The entire room clamored.None of them were convinced that the most influential woman in the business world was with me, a mere researcher.Our gesture seemed quite intimate to them.Enya's eyes went wide. She instinctively tightened her grip around Klay’s wrist.“Elara? The one from Foster-Kubert Corporation…”Her voice trailed off at this point. She murmured the corporation's name to herself.“Kubert… as in Dominic Kubert?!”I ignored their reaction and pinched Elara’s cheek with a playful smile.“You told me it'd be another week until you came back. What brought you home so early?”“I missed you. How could I handle being away from you when you told me we're going to get our wedding license when I come back?”“You promised! You can’t take it back now!”I chuckled while tightening my hold around her shoulder.“Of course I wouldn't, silly. Is that the kind of thing you think about all day?”Enya observed the way I interacted with Elara and coughed to interrupt our conversa

One way or another, the conversation would be steered toward Enya.“She's really something else. They say she helped Klay's family avoid several risky investments a handful of times.“I heard the price of every stock she recommends would inevitably skyrocket within two months! How come we never realized she had such an eye for business?“The weirdest part of all this is that Klay still hasn't proposed to her. She's been with Klay for over a decade now, but he’s still not willing to give her the title she deserves…”While my old classmate w
