Reborn and I Let Him Go Chapter 9 Blood Among Strangers
Not long after that, I left the country.Adrian was no longer in my life.While I was abroad, I kept in touch with Linda. I planned to return home eventually to build my career, take care of the elders, and make sure they had a peaceful old age.During those years overseas, I met a good friend. She was from my country too, though she'd grown up abroad. We came back together, and she had the sweetest little boy.After hearing about everything I'd been through, she asked me to be his godmother.Once we were home, we started a design company together.I spent my days sketching at the studio, and in the evenings, I would return to the Cross Residence for dinner with Linda and Alexander. Life had become quiet and steady.Until one evening after work, when I saw a homeless man wandering near the gate of the Cross Residence.I was about to tell him to leave when he turned and saw me. The moment our eyes met, he bolted. One of his eyes looked artificial. His face was covered with stu
Reborn and I Let Him Go Chapter 8 After the Verdict
When the trial ended, the internet turned on Ella. People dug up her home address, threatening to teach her a lesson. Some even said they'd kill her.As for me and Adrian, we finalized the divorce. He walked away with nothing.He lost his job. His parents disowned him, and the Cross family shut its doors on him for good.With Ella in prison, Adrian became the kind of man who wouldn't stop haunting my life, like a bad rash that wouldn't heal. He waited outside my house every day, just to catch a glimpse of me.When I finally moved, he couldn't find me anymore. So, he started calling me using new numbers every time. I blocked them all.Eventually, I got so tired I just threw out my SIM card.That was until one day, I had just finished getting my visa approved and stepped out of the building when I saw him.His hair was a mess, his jaw covered with an uneven beard.I pretended not to see him and kept walking.He spoke first. "Selene, it's been a while."I turned calmly to face h
Reborn and I Let Him Go Chapter 7 Revenge in Court
Ella was an influencer. Her innocent face had won her a lot of followers.While I lay unconscious, she'd played the victim, twisting the truth to make herself look like the one who'd been wronged.Not long ago, I bought a tip with Adrian and Ella's whereabouts and began following them in secret.They went into a hotel, so I slipped inside after them. It was just as I'd suspected."Hello, is this the police? I'd like to report prostitution in Room 1131 at the Starlight Hotel."I stepped out of the phone booth and waited in a car parked to the side, watching for the two of them to come out.I took some photos and paid to push a topic titled 'Internet Sweetheart Caught in an Affair with a Married Man' to the trending list.The moment it hit the feed, it blew up instantly.I handed a thick stack of evidence over to the police and formally filed suit against Ella.…On the day the case went to court, the gallery was packed.I pretended I hadn't fully recovered and hobbled into
Reborn and I Let Him Go Chapter 6 The Awakening
A week later, I finally woke up.Linda had been by my side the whole time, caring for me without rest. She told me everything that had happened while I was unconscious.Adrian hadn't come to see me even once.Instead, he went home, packed his things, and announced he was cutting ties with his family. Then, he moved in with Ella.He even swore he'd defend her in court and make sure she won.Linda held my hand tightly, her eyes brimming with guilt. "Selene, you've given so much to our family over the years. We've failed you."I reached over and gently patted her hand. I knew none of this was her fault. She and Alexander had always treated me kindly.My heart felt strangely calm. I wasn't angry anymore. "Mrs. Cross, I understand. And thank you for taking care of me these past few days."Linda opened her mouth as if to speak, then fell silent. A moment later, she said, "Selene, if there's anything you need, anything at all, you only have to ask. You don't need to be overly formal w
Reborn and I Let Him Go Chapter 5 The Woman He Chose
Adrian froze at the sight of me lying in the hospital bed. Before he could gather himself, a police officer stepped forward, holding out a phone."Ms. Ella Grace? We have evidence and a witness accusing you of attempted murder. You'll need to come with us."As he spoke, the officer pulled out a pair of handcuffs. Ella immediately pressed herself against Adrian's chest.Adrian stared in disbelief, wrapping his arms protectively around her. "Sir, there has to be some mistake. Ella can't even stand the sight of blood. She'd never hurt anyone."The officer held the phone closer, showing him a video.Adrian's face went ashen as he watched. Horror and denial warred in his eyes.He shoved Ella aside and grabbed Linda's arm. "Mom, how's Selene? When will she regain consciousness?"He looked like a man on the edge of madness. In the video, I lay drenched in blood, motionless.A nurse nearby, seeing his desperation, spoke sharply, her impatience barely concealed."Ms. Stone lost a massi
Reborn and I Let Him Go Chapter 4 A Heart Gone Cold
At the law firm, Adrian was sorting through his case files when his assistant burst in, breathless."Adrian, bad news. Selene's been hurt badly. She's in surgery right now, and the hospital needs your signature for the operation."Adrian barely looked up. "So, she's backing out now? Unbelievable. Tell her I'm not going."He went right back to going through his files.His assistant snatched the files from his hands, panic rising in his voice. "I'm serious, Adrian! The hospital called—"Adrian's brows tightened. Irritation flashed in his eyes. "What did Selene offer you to take her side? Even you've started speaking up for her now. If she truly wants my forgiveness, she can crawl here herself and beg for it. Maybe then I'll consider it. Now, get out."After the assistant left, Adrian switched his phone to airplane mode so I couldn't bother him again.When his workday finally ended, he turned his phone back on, only to see dozens of missed calls and frantic messages from Linda.He
