Livia gazed out of the car window, the city lights flickering in her pupils like ripples disturbing the uneasy waters of her heart. Elias’s eyes remained fixed on her, his silence pressing down on her like an invisible weight.

As expected, she hadn’t hidden it well enough… Livia sighed inwardly. She knew Elias was sharp—he wouldn’t be easily fooled. Since he had already sensed something, there was no point in further concealment. Instead, she chose to reveal just enough of the truth.

She remained silent for a while before speaking slowly, “Everyone has their secrets, don’t they?” Turning to meet Elias’s gaze, her tone was calm yet carried a trace of solemnity. “But I won’t lie to you—there is something wrong with Eryx.”

Elias’s eyes sharpened slightly, but he didn’t interrupt.

Livia continued, “I know you sent Red to protect me.” Her lips curved into a faint, teasing smile. “But as you’ve noticed, Marcellus isn’t a threat to me right now. Or rather, in his current state, he doesn’t ha

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 214: The Fourth Force

    She had seen firsthand that man’s ruthlessness and cold precision. His methods for dealing with betrayal were the reason everyone fell silent at the mere mention of his name. It was precisely because she had once witnessed such a “cleansing” with her own eyes that she had come to understand—traitors may exist, but they never escape unscathed.Those who remained by his side in the end were always the strongest and most loyal servants he had personally chosen.“He might not be able to command the entire organization as if it were his personal army,” she said softly, her tone even calmer than Elias’s, “but he himself is the embodiment of that power. As long as he’s alive, he is the threat.”Elias looked at her, quietly surprised. He realized he might have underestimated Livia’s composure—perhaps even her true connection to that man.“You… you seem to know him quite well.” He asked cautiously, trying to feel out the truth.Livia lowered her gaze with a faint smile, lips curving ever so s

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 213: The King of the Underworld

    Elias was silent for a long moment, his gaze dim as he stared off into the distance—like he hadn’t dredged that name up from memory in years. With a heavy sigh, he spoke in a low, conflicted voice:“…Yes. I think I know who he is now.”He paused, then pulled a thin piece of paper from his sleeve. The handwriting was familiar—clean, sharp, and unadorned. It was unmistakably Emma’s. She had left him a letter as well.He unfolded it and showed Livia a few lines before speaking softly:“Maybe Emma figured I’ve spent years dealing with people from all walks of life—thieves, spies, mercenaries—so she left me a separate note. She didn’t say much, but… it was enough for me to understand her intent.”He looked up, his eyes heavy with realization.“She mentioned Jim… and a few of his aliases. Names I’ve heard before—only now do I realize they were all him.”He folded the letter back up and tucked it inside his coat. His voice was low and steady, like still water:“He’s a legend, Livia. In the u

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 212: Emma’s Departure

    Livia gently closed the door behind her. She looked at Emma one last time but said nothing more. She understood now—sometimes you can keep someone close, yet still lose their heart. Emma had already made her decision. No matter how calm her words seemed, the intent to leave had long since broken through the surface.Livia turned and walked away.The moment the door clicked shut, Emma stood silently by the window, watching Livia’s figure disappear at the end of the corridor. Then, she exhaled—long and slow.Without a trace of hesitation, she turned back into the room and began packing swiftly. Her movements were precise, yet quiet and gentle, as if afraid of disturbing the unspoken emotions lingering in the air. She placed her concealed dagger, a small vial of medicine, a well-worn, creased map, and a few items of clothing into her pack one by one.This was not an escape.Emma knew herself too well to call it that. She wasn’t someone driven by fear. If threats alone could move her, she

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 211: Resolve to Leave

    Emma sat back down in the chair, her gaze dark and heavy, knuckles tightening slightly as though she were suppressing a shiver summoned by old memories. Her voice dropped, emerging like a warning scraped from deep in her throat—laced with shadows that could not be ignored:“You don’t know how ruthless he is.”She didn’t speak his name, only referred to him as he, but the understanding between them was absolute.“Back then, I was young, just beginning to learn the art of assassination. The first thing he ever taught me was: ‘Before you slit the throat, cut off the air. Don’t give the prey a chance to scream.’”Livia felt a chill crawl up her spine as she listened.Emma continued, “He can reshape his body at will, just to hide in places no one else could reach. His techniques, his spies, his traps—none of them are things an ordinary person could imagine. If he says he can identify who passed through a place, I believe it. He probably has a hundred ways to do it.” Her voice turned cold a

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 210: The Fearsome Master

    When Livia pushed the door open, the ceiling light illuminated Emma sitting by the window, polishing a dagger. The moment her keen eyes lifted and saw the familiar figure at the door, a crack of emotion split her usually calm and composed expression.“You… finally came back.” She stood up, trying to keep her tone casual, but her voice trembled slightly.Livia said nothing, simply walked over and stopped in front of her. The two locked eyes for a brief moment before Emma pulled her into a firm hug. It wasn’t forceful, but it was resolute—anchoring Livia to reality, as if refusing to let her vanish again.“Thank goodness you’re safe,” Emma murmured, her tone uncharacteristically laced with anxiety. “I thought…”“I’m fine.” Livia gently patted her back, her voice soft yet steady. “I made it back.”Only after a long moment did Emma let her go and sit back down by the window. The composed expression befitting a general quickly returned to her face, as if the emotion just now had been nothi

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 209: The Recovered Pages

    The morning sunlight filtered through the gap in the hospital curtains—gentle, yet cool.Livia opened her eyes, looking at Marcellus who was still sleeping by her side.Though fatigue still lingered in his features, his breathing was even, and his complexion looked much improved from the night before.She didn’t have the heart to wake him. Gently, she slipped her hand from his grasp, her gaze full of tenderness and a trace of reluctant affection.In the end, she only left the lightest of kisses on his forehead before quietly rising and leaving the room.As she pushed open the door, a sharp wind swept through the corridor, carrying with it the lingering chill of the previous night.At the end of the hallway, Elias was already waiting, wrapped in a windbreaker, his eyes shadowed with exhaustion from a sleepless night.Their gazes met, neither speaking first.At last, Livia broke the silence in a low voice. “Let’s go.”Without alerting anyone at the hospital, they slipped out through the
