Tessa as Elena’s POV

“What’s happening?” Bella asked the second the teacher left the room, her eyes wide with curiosity.

“Did you cheat?” Emris added, tilting his head.

“You even beat Adrian?” Bella gasped, then let out a disbelieving laugh. “That’s not supposed to happen.”

I blinked at both of them, struggling to hide how suffocated I felt. Their voices were just noise in my ears. I wasn’t trying to be better than anyone—I was just trying to survive here.

“Can we just forget this?” I muttered, brushing past them, needing space.

Emris smirked. “The accident really brought a lot out of you, Elena.”

I rolled my eyes, too tired to argue. I wasn’t Elena. I was Tessa—trapped in someone else’s perfect skin.

“I’m going to see our math teacher,” I said simply, turning before either of them could press further.

The hallway felt cold as I walked alone, my steps echoing faintly against the floor. With every stride, the weight on my chest grew heavier. Gloria’s death, the anonymous texts

  • Reborn as Elena Scarlet    Chapter 35: My kiss with Lucien

    Bella’s POVI lay in bed, still feeling that tingling sensation from what had happened back in school.Lucien and I had been going out on several dates, and I’d been eagerly waiting for him to make it official. I imagined it happening in some dreamy way — but I didn’t expect it today.He had pulled me aside earlier, looked straight into my eyes, and said he couldn’t wait any longer. That he wanted to get serious with me.I said yes immediately. Why wouldn’t I?My joy faded when Elena’s reaction came rushing back, like a sudden cold wave.Why couldn’t she just be happy for me? Just once, I wanted her warmth and genuine excitement for me. She couldn’t even give me that.Emris’s call came in unexpectedly.“Hey, what’s up?” I breathed.“I noticed you weren’t yourself earlier. What’s wrong?” His voice held concern.“It’s okay, Emris,” I replied. I almost told him I was now official with Lucien, but the thought that he might react just like Elena made me swallow the words.“Alright then, s

  • Reborn as Elena Scarlet     Chapter 34: Unspoken Truth

    Tessa as Elena’s POV“What’s wrong?” Bella asked, sitting close to me.“Nothing, Bella. I just think Lucien isn’t right for you,” I said, glancing at her. “Maybe he’s just… deceiving you.”“What do you mean by that?” she asked, folding her hands.“I saw Lucien—” I began, but she cut me off quickly.“I thought you’d be happy for me, Elena?” she said, standing up. “I was always happy for you, and now you can’t even do the same for me?” Her scoff was light, but the pain on her face wasn’t.“Bella, please calm down—” But she was already heading to the door, just as Emris walked in, looking surprised.“What’s up with her?” he asked, gesturing toward the door.“Nothing, Emris,” I said with a heavy sigh.“I came to get you and Bella for science class.”“Oh. Let’s go then.” I stood up and left with him.***After science class, I was trying to jot something down, when our math tutor walked in, smiling.“Hello, class,” he greeted warmly, scanning the room. He taught Arithmetic Progression fo

  • Reborn as Elena Scarlet    Chapter 33:  Behind the Smiles

    Tessa’s POV“Mum, it’s nothing. Just forget about it,” I said quickly. “It’s just a random message from a fan,” I added, brushing it off as if it meant nothing.She only sighed, nodded, and stood up. “Let me allow you to rest since you’ll be going to school tomorrow,” she said.“Thank you Mum,” I replied as she walked toward the door.***The next morning, at exactly 6 a.m., I had just woken up and was getting ready for the day when Ayla knocked and stepped inside.“Ma’am, you have a live session with your fan base this morning.”“Oh, really?” I said, my face lighting up. There were fans of Elena who were genuinely loving, and I had to admit — that was something I truly enjoyed.“There have been so many requests for a live session after the news about you finding the real murderer went online.” she giggled.“What time?” I asked.“By 7 a.m., ma’am. Just thirty minutes, and you’ll be done.”“Alright, let me prepare.”“I’ll be here by 6:50 to set up the camera,” she said before leaving

  • Reborn as Elena Scarlet    Chapter 32: Elena’s Deepest Secret

    Tessa as Elena’s POV“What are you doing here?” My voice rang out, making Elena’s mum and everyone else in the room look up.My chest felt heavy. Could I not get a single moment to breathe before another problem landed in my lap? I had seen Lucy’s threatening message yesterday but hadn’t paid close attention to it — I didn’t even understand the secrets she was talking about.“She’s your classmate, darling,” Elena’s mum said, standing up from the couch and walking toward me. Zane stood by my side, rubbing my hand gently.“Get out.” Zane muttered. Lucy gave a scornful smile, but her eyes lingered on me like a silent threat before she stepped out — with Adrian following her.I exhaled slowly.“What’s going on?” Elena’s mum asked, her brows furrowed in concern as she moved closer.“It’s nothing, Mum,” I replied quickly. “You have nothing to worry about.”“I will worry, Elena. I will,” she said as her brows furrowed.“Mum…” I said gently.“Yes — this is the same way we ‘had nothing to w

  • Reborn as Elena Scarlet    Chapter 31: Cracks in the Villain’s Mask

    Adrian’s POVI lay on the bed that night, one hand absentmindedly stroking my cat’s fur as it purred softly beneath my palm. Vale should give birth in a matter of days — I’d been tracking the whole thing like it was my personal project.But something wasn’t adding up. The thought came suddenly. If Rosa saw Gloria being pushed into the water, why didn’t she scream for help when Lucas left?The pieces weren’t connecting, and the unanswered questions were starting to make my head ache. I was going to see Rosa tomorrow anyway; I’d get answers from her then.My throat suddenly felt dry, so I pushed myself up and padded downstairs for a glass of water. It was still drizzling outside, the night air smelling lightly of wet pavement. In the quiet flat, the soft hiss of the rain felt loud.I had just taken a gulp when the flat-screen caught my attention — Elena’s face filled the screen.What now? She was always in the headlines for something.I stood still, glass in hand, and listened.“Elen

    Roselyn Scarlet's POV (Elena's Mother)"Where did you say you left my daughter?!" I screamed at Ayla as she stood trembling."Calm down, darling," my husband came from upstairs and held me gently."What happened?" he asked, facing Ayla.“She stopped by the road, put on a face mask, and said she just needed to grab something from a store before coming back. She told us to go home without her.”"What!?" my husband exclaimed as he opened his phone, immediately trying to call Elena’s number, but it was not reachable."Call that driver for me!" I shouted angrily as I paced on the foyer. Ayla quickly disappeared outside and came back a few seconds later with Elena’s personal driver.“Why did you let her get down? Why didn’t you stop her?” I snapped.“She gave the instruction herself,” the driver said, nervously.But I was too consumed with anger to care."You both are fired!" I screamed at the top of my voice as frustration and desperation overtook me."No, darling, just calm down," my husb
