Reborn as Elena Scarlet Chapter 47: Between Fear and Relief
Tessa’s POV (as Elena)I finally managed to hold my phone, fumbling hard as I dialed Elena’s mum.I paced the foyer, heart thudding, desperately waiting for her to pick up.“Elena, calm down,” her voice came through trembling the moment she answered.“Mum…” I forced myself to say after a few seconds.“I haven’t reached any of the officials yet, but nothing is going to happen to your dad, okay?.”I nodded, unable to speak as she quickly hung up.Mr. Rodriguez walked back into the foyer.“Is anything the matter, miss?” he asked gently as I sank into one of the couches.I could not respond, I just sat there trembling.A few seconds later, my phone beeped, a strange number was calling. I picked up immediately, desperate for answers from anywhere.“Hello, who is this?” My voice was already tight with tension.It took a few seconds before he finally responded, “Huhmm… it’s Adrian,” he finally breathed.I pulled the phone away, staring at the screen, thinking maybe he’d dialed by mistake.“
Reborn as Elena Scarlet Chapter 46: Two Steps Too Close
Tessa’s POV (as Elena)Days flew fast, and my dad’s birthday was now a few days away.I stepped out of the car for the final dance rehearsal with Adrian.I breathed in the crisp evening air as I walked into the hall.At our previous rehearsal before this final one, Adrian had acted strangely. Completely different from the slightly relaxed way he had behaved after I fainted.I shrugged the thought off as our tutor walked in.“We have no time again, please let’s begin.”I stepped closer. By now I was well accustomed to the moves, and I moved swiftly, in sync with Adrian.We both started well, moving perfectly, but at some point, I absentmindedly began to follow his lead without thinking.My mind had drifted to how big the charity event was going to be—just four days away—and only one day before Elena's dad’s birthday.The thought that I must not flop or make any mistake hammered on my chest. Anything I did at the charity might put Elena’s dad at high business risk. And the bigger part?
Reborn as Elena Scarlet Chapter 45: Vale’s Loss
Adrian’s POV“What… what did you just say?” My voice cracked as panic shot through me.“I am sorry, sir,” Anna stammered, pressing her trembling hands together.“This is all because of that stupid dance practice,” I muttered under my breath, my jaw tight with rage.I stepped closer. Anna shook like a leaf.“I told you nothing must happen to Vale and his kittens,” I breathed, my chest beating so fast, I thought it might just come right out.“I… I am sorry, Master Adrian,” she whispered with pleading eyes.“You think sorry can fix it!?” I roared, and she staggered back in fear.With a sharp huff, I turned and stormed upstairs to my room.***“Hey, brother,” Michelle’s voice came softly through the phone as I picked up.“Hey,” I mumbled, with a dry throat.“What’s wrong? You don’t sound fine,” she pressed. Just those words alone cracked something open in me.“Vale lost one of his kittens.” I raked a hand through my hair, my vision blurring as grief pressed down hard on my chest.“Oh Adri

Adrian’s POV“Lucien, can you remember what really happened between Adrian and Bella?” Kade asked as we entered our private lounge.“Bella was trying to kiss you… but you refused. You caught her wrists, told her to pull herself together. That was it.” He breathed the words like they barely mattered. His gaze drifted to the side, as though his mind was elsewhere entirely.I let out a quiet breath of relief and leaned back on the sofa.“What’s up, Lucien? You look like something’s disturbing you,” Kade pressed. I glanced at Lucien, and realized he wasn’t okay.“I’m okay,” Lucien muttered, flashing Kade a brief look.Kade shrugged, unwilling to drag it further. “I’ll be heading home early. See you guys tomorrow.” He rose, swung his sleek designer bag across his shoulder, and walked out.The room fell into silence—until my phone buzzed sharply against the glass table. The screen lit up with my father’s name. My stomach dropped. A familiar dread found its way through my chest. That feeli
Reborn as Elena Scarlet Chapter 43: A Birthday Wish
Tessa’s POV (as Elena)It was Sports Day—one of Bella’s most exciting days of the week, so I expected to find her buzzing with energy.“Hey, Bella,” I beamed as I stepped into our private lounge, ready to be greeted with her usual bright smile.“Hi,” she responded softly, her face clouded with something that looked like worry.I stood still for a moment. Bella never sounded like this.“What’s wrong? You don’t look yourself,” I asked curiously, tilting my head toward her.“It’s okay, Elena,” she said calmly. It was so unlike her that my suspicion grew even stronger.“And why aren’t you preparing for your ballerina routine? That’s your favorite part of today.”Just then, her phone screen lit up. She immediately stood up, snatched it from the table, and glanced at it quickly. Her expression tightened before she muttered, “See you later,” and hurried out the door without another word.I let out a long sigh, confused by her behavior. I dropped a textbook I had borrowed from the library on
Reborn as Elena Scarlet Chapter 42: Whispers at the Beach
Bella’s POVI had a date that evening with Lucien—he had texted me a few minutes ago, as a reminder.But first, I needed to go with Emris to Elena’s house to check on her.On our way there, I noticed Emris’s mood was somehow strange. Although he was more of an introvert, today he seemed even more withdrawn.“Don’t tell me there’s no poor girl for you to go through this week,” I joked, trying to shake him out of whatever cloud hovered over him.“Please, Bella,” he said firmly, as his eyes darted away.“Hey, what’s wrong?” I pressed. “You don’t look fine, Emris.”“I am fine, Bella,” he responded with a sigh.“You can talk to me, Emris.” I reached over and held his hand. His gaze flashed towards me for a second. “Recently I feel like we’ve not really been talking, you know.” He smiled faintly and pulled his hand away. “It’s okay, Bella.”“Okay,” I shrugged as we both stepped down from the car.***“Hello, Mother,” we greeted as we walked into Elena’s house.“Bella, how are you doing?
