Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife Ask Him What Happened After I Died
Lucien stared at Edmund Vale.The resemblance was undeniable, though age and cruelty had sharpened the older man’s face.“You died,” Lucien said.“So did everyone important in this room.”Edmund’s attention moved to me.“You should not have brought Lucien.”“I didn’t,” I replied. “Your son still makes his own bad decisions.”Something almost like approval touched Edmund’s expression.Darius kept a weapon against Caelan’s side.Mara and Ronan remained behind the concrete barriers with the security team. No one fired because the laboratory contained tanks of volatile chemicals.One bullet could ignite the entire tunnel.“Release my husband,” I said.Edmund looked at Caelan.“He is safer restrained.”“From whom?”“Himself.”Caelan’s gaze found mine.“Do not give them access to M-17.”“I won’t.”Darius struck him.Lucien raised his weapon.“Touch him again.”Darius laughed.“You spent your life hating your brother. Now you defend him?”“I decide who earns my hatred.”Edmund stepped betwee

The competing messages were designed to divide instinct from trust.Caelan’s voice ordered us not to open M-17.My voice urged us to do it.Either recording could have been fabricated.We tested both.Caelan’s contained background noise from the current day—machinery beneath Mercer House and the same irregular vibration detected near the archive.Mine came from the night of my death.I could hear the clinic monitor beneath the words.The message was genuine but removed from its original context.Crowne had taken something I said in another life and turned it into a command against my husband’s current warning.“We do not open it,” I decided.Father looked relieved.“What about the blood?”“Someone brought it here to make us believe Caelan is inside.”Ronan searched the underground passage.The blood trail began abruptly, with no drops leading toward it. It had been carried in a container.Caelan remained elsewhere.Darius instructed me to bring Alaric’s death certificate to the origin
Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife Where Did Caelan Go?
Water poured through vents beneath the bridge.Ronan tried the steel door.Locked.Mara’s voice broke through the failing communication system.“Alaric’s vehicle is moving. Caelan is no longer inside.”“What do you mean?”“We lost visual contact during the power failure. The passenger seat is empty.”Caelan had disappeared again.I forced myself to focus on the chamber.The rising water reached my ankles. The bridge nightmare tightened around my lungs, but panic would kill me faster than the flood.“Find the manual release,” I told Ronan.We searched the walls.The control panel rejected every code. Alaric had designed the trap around my trauma, expecting the water to make me abandon reason.My memory showed a locked seat belt.Black water.Caelan’s voice above the current.I pushed the images away.“What exists now?” I whispered.Ronan looked at me.“What?”“The present. Steel chamber. Incoming water. Electrical system above the flood line. Maintenance vents.”He understood.We stopp
Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife A Dead Man Without a Body
The vehicle stopped twenty metres away.Mara’s officers aimed from concealed positions, but I signalled them not to fire.Caelan appeared conscious. His hands were unbound, yet the stiffness of his posture told me he was not there willingly.The elderly driver stepped out.Alaric Mercer looked older than the photographs but less frail than a man approaching ninety should have appeared. His silver hair was cut neatly, and the divided-crown ring shone beneath the bridge lights.Father’s eyes.My eyes.“You look like Isabelle,” he said.His voice matched the one in Caelan’s fragmented memory.“You died twenty years ago.”“So did you.”The answer stripped death of meaning.“Release Caelan.”“He came voluntarily.”I looked at my husband.“Is that true?”“Yes.”“Why?”“Alaric offered the missing clinic footage.”My anger flared.“You disappeared without telling me.”“I knew you would follow.”“So you removed your ring and phone to make me believe you had been taken?”“To make Crowne believe
Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife The Second Wreck That Night
Marrow denied knowing the dead man.We questioned him through an encrypted connection from the safe location housing his daughter.“That uniform came from my clinic,” he said. “But I never saw the person wearing it.”“Crowne staged your death three years before you were officially declared dead,” I replied.His face changed.“What?”“In the original timeline, the wreck happened the night I died. Your legal death occurred two years earlier.”“That timeline never happened here.”“To you.”He looked toward someone outside the camera frame.“Crowne maintained replacement identities. If one doctor became compromised, another used the same records.”“How many Elias Marrows were there?”“I don’t know.”“Who was the original?”“My mentor.”“Alive?”“He disappeared after developing C-17.”Another man without a confirmed death.The second wreck was not intended to kill Caelan publicly. It was a disposal site for a compromised Crowne doctor, disguised under Caelan’s identity long enough to confu
Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife Minutes After My Crash
We rebuilt the night minute by minute.11:46 p.m.—my car left the Vale charity reception.11:52 p.m.—the driver received an instruction from my phone to use the bridge road.11:58 p.m.—Caelan’s vehicle began following.12:07 a.m.—an unknown car struck Caelan two kilometres from the bridge.12:11 a.m.—my brakes stopped responding.12:14 a.m.—my car broke through the barrier.12:16 a.m.—Caelan entered the river.12:19 a.m.—the Crowne ambulance arrived.12:22 a.m.—I was pulled from the car alive.The official report claimed rescue teams did not arrive until 12:41.Crowne controlled the scene for nineteen minutes before real emergency services appeared.“What happened to my driver?” I asked.Ronan opened the personnel file.“His body was never recovered.”I had assumed he drowned.The underwater photographs showed the driver’s door open and his seat belt released.“He escaped.”“Or was removed.”“Did he work for Crowne?”“We found payments to his wife through Halden Relief.”Another betra
