Elena Dawson POV

---

The sea was angry that night, waves slamming against the rocks below the cliffside estate as if echoing the chaos inside me. The storm outside had nothing on the one brewing within my chest.

I stood by the window, my reflection fragmented by the raindrops trailing down the glass. Behind me, the fire crackled weakly barely clinging to life. Just like my faith in Alexander Knight.

He’d promised me honesty. Protection. A future where I’d never have to look over my shoulder again. But tonight, I’d seen the message on his encrypted tablet. The one from Richard Hale.

“Phase Two begins. Project Rebirth is active. She must never know.”

My name wasn’t mentioned, but it didn’t need to be. My instincts screamed the truth. They were talking about me.

When I turned, Alexander was standing in the doorway. His hair was damp from the rain, his shirt clinging to his chest. Even angry, he looked infuriatingly composed too calm for the man who’d just betrayed me.

“Elena,” he started

  • Reborn as The Billionaire's Wife   THE ECHO IN MY VEINS

    Elena’s POVThe room felt too small. Too bright. Too loud.Yet all I could hear was her voice.“Come home, Elena.”My mother’s voice the one I’d buried with lilies and trembling hands in my first life lingered in the air like smoke I couldn’t breathe through. I could still feel the chill that climbed my spine as the call dropped, could still hear the way her tone had gone from soft to sharp, as if something else had spoken through her.I pressed my palms against my ears even though the silence had already swallowed everything around me. It didn’t help. The echo wasn’t outside.It was inside me.“Elena.” Kara’s voice was steady, but her eyes weren’t. “You’re shaking. Sit down.”“I’m fine.” I wasn’t. My knees softened under my own weight. “It wasn’t her. It couldn’t have been her. She can’t she’s dead.”Kara exchanged a look with Dr. Hale, who had silently entered the room moments after the call. They both wore the expression of people trying not to alarm someone who was already spira

  • Reborn as The Billionaire's Wife   Inside the Awakening

    Elena’s POV ---The world didn’t end with fire.It ended with silence.Not the peaceful kind.The kind that presses against your skull, fills your lungs, and makes your heartbeat sound like thunder in a void.I floated somewhere between consciousness and nothingness. My body felt weightless. My mind… wasn’t mine.Not fully.Whispers curled around me thin, electric threads brushing against my thoughts like cold fingertips.Subject 07 detected.Neurolink active.Awakening sequence: 14%.I tried to scream, but the sound stayed trapped inside me.No.No, no, no.I forced my eyes open.The real world snapped back hard.The shattered window.Snow drifting into the room.Alex kneeling beside me, calling my name his voice sharp, desperate, terrified.But I barely heard him.Because something else was pulling me under.A flood.A memory.A program.A command.Project Rebirth wasn’t just inside my body.It was inside my mind rewriting, unlocking… invading.I clutched my head, nails digging int

  • Reborn as The Billionaire's Wife   The Awakening

    Alexander’s POV ---“Elena!”Her body went rigid before she crumpled to the floor, a strangled sound leaving her throat. I caught her just in time for her head fell against my arm, eyes wide and unfocused, pupils dilating.No, no, no.Her pulse was erratic fast, then weak. The kind of instability I’d only seen once before back in the labs when they tested neural implants that could fry the brain from the inside out.“Elena, stay with me,” I said, my voice breaking despite the steel I tried to hold onto.Her fingers twitched against mine. “It… hurts…”Then she screamed.The sound tore through the villa, sharp enough to crack the air itself. The lights flickered, static danced along the walls and then I realized the source wasn’t the power lines. It was her.Electric energy rippled across her skin, faint at first, then growing brighter a pulsing golden glow that illuminated her veins.Her body arched violently in my arms.“Stop!” I shouted to no one. “You’ll kill her!”But Project Rebi

  • Reborn as The Billionaire's Wife   The price of secrets

    Elena’s POV ---The steady hum of the jet’s engine filled the silence between us. Clouds stretched endlessly beyond the window, soft and serene a cruel contrast to the storm building inside me.Alexander hadn’t spoken a word since we left the compound. His jaw was set in that familiar way tight, unreadable, dangerous.I’d seen him furious before. But this this quiet restraint terrified me more.I folded my arms, staring out the window, trying to ignore the weight of his presence beside me. “You’re angry,” I said finally.He didn’t answer.“Fine. Then I’ll start. What the hell was that back there? You blew up half the facility without confirming if anyone was still inside”His head snapped toward me. “They were gone, Elena. Do you think I’d risk innocent lives?”“You didn’t even check!” I shot back. “You just reacted. Like you always do.”Something flickered in his eyes. Hurt. Or maybe regret. It disappeared as fast as it came. “You’re questioning my judgment now?”“I’m questioning yo

  • Reborn as The Billionaire's Wife   pulse of the Past

    Alexander’s POVThe darkness wasn’t empty.It breathed.Every monitor in the estate had gone black, yet the air hummed with something alive low, pulsing, electric. It wasn’t the generator; it was coming from her.“Elena,” I called, my voice cutting through the dark. “Stay with me.”For a heartbeat, nothing. Then a faint glow her eyes, lit from within, pale blue like lightning trapped behind glass.My stomach dropped. “No,” I whispered, moving toward her.She was standing perfectly still in the middle of the room, hair falling in wild dark waves over her face. The shadows painted her in silver. She looked almost weightless, almost unreal.“Elena,” I tried again. “Look at me. You’re safe.”Her lips parted, but the sound that came out wasn’t hers. It was layered her voice mixed with a mechanical echo. “Alexander… I told you to run.”My pulse spiked. Hale’s signature. His code. His ghost.I stepped closer anyway. “I don’t run from you. Ever.”The lights flickered once, twice and then the

  • Reborn as The Billionaire's Wife   Code of the Heart

    Elena’s POV ---The storm had quieted by dawn, but inside the estate, the chaos refused to settle.The screens were dead. The air smelled of burnt circuits and ozone. And I could still feel the faint hum beneath my skin a soft vibration like a trapped heartbeat that wasn’t entirely mine.Alexander was pacing near the shattered window, his shirt half undone, blood streaking his jaw from the fight. He hadn’t said a word since Hale’s message vanished from the surveillance screen. The silence between us was heavy, too full of things neither of us were ready to face.I stared at my trembling hands. “It wasn’t supposed to happen,” I whispered. “That light it came from me.”He stopped pacing. “I know.”“I hurt him. I could’ve hurt you.”Alexander’s gaze softened, though his voice stayed firm. “You saved me, Elena. Don’t twist that into guilt.”But guilt was all I felt. Because for every second Hale was out there, breathing and plotting, I couldn’t tell if I was truly free of him or still
