Livia’s eyes lingered on Marcellus’s hand—still gently wrapped around hers, firm yet reassuring. Her heart skipped a beat. In the soft light, their shadows stretched along the wall beside the bed, wavering slightly as if echoing the tremble in her chest. She exhaled slowly, almost soundlessly, and stepped closer. Every movement she made was featherlight, like she feared even the quietest sound might shatter the fragile stillness between them.

She loosened the outer robe draped over her shoulders and let it slide down, the fabric rustling faintly against her skin. One hand unfastened her sash with quiet precision. She moved slowly, with the care of someone unsure if they were allowed this moment. Her every motion—removing each layer, folding her clothes, placing them neatly on the bench beside the bed—carried a sense of reverence, as though this small act of undressing held weight beyond its simplicity.

With a breath held, she lifted the blanket’s edge and eased herself into the bed. T

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 253: Final Diary Entry

    Entry XIVI can no longer remember how long it’s been.Day by day, my body grows weaker.Even holding a pen feels impossible now.We haven’t left this land for so long.Even just going down the old well to glimpse the base—we have to support each other just to descend the stone steps.Sometimes I wonder…Have we simply been too close for too long?It’s sealed, yes.We swore to keep it buried.We only ever look at it from afar.But even so,its power creeps like vines from the depths of the earth,coiling around us, dragging us slowly into the abyss.We used to say we were just afraid of someone stealing it—but now I know the truth.We… can’t bear to be away from it.If we go a day without seeing it, we feel ill,uneasy in our skin,restless, aching.Only when we’re near it does the pain stop.Only in its presence do we feel… calm.It’s terrifying.We vowed never to let the Grail return to the world,but somehow—I began to dream of it.In the dreams, the shattered Grail reassembles i

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 252: Diary – Entry XII & XIII

    Entry XIICelesta is dead.She left so peacefully, and yet the tremor she left in our hearts will never fade.After the explosion, the abandoned factory was filled with the stench of gunpowder and scorched earth.The shards of the Grail were nowhere to be found.Edgar knelt beside her, like a statue that had lost its soul.He didn’t cry.He didn’t scream.He simply held her cold hand, silently, mechanically.At that moment, I thought he would collapse, rage, destroy all of us in his grief.But he didn’t.He merely lifted his head to look at us. His voice was hoarse and low:“You… destroyed her only hope.”“Her hope was to destroy the Grail!” I shouted back.But then I saw it—a flicker of madness, stubborn and wild, begin to glow behind his eyes.“She didn’t understand…She didn’t know…If I can gather the fragments,I can save her…I can bring her back…”He wasn’t really talking to me.He was trying to convince himself.That desperate longing twisted his once-calm face.This man, onc

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 251: Diary – Entry XI – The Fall of the Grail and Celesta

    I will never forget that night.The wind howled outside the factory. The darkness was thick as ink, and the city’s neon lights felt a world away—as if we stood in a place cut off from the rest of existence.She brought it with her—the Grail.Her hand clutched it tightly, but the faint glow pulsing from its surface and the ominous whispers drifting through the air made it clear:this thing held immense power—and it was even more dangerous than before.“I don’t have much time,” Celesta panted.“You… must destroy it. Or hide it. Just don’t ever let Edgar find it.”I looked into her eyes—there was no fear there.Only a fire that burned with pure, unwavering resolve.I barely had time to speak—when a voice cut coldly through the shadows:“So… you really did betray me.”Edgar.He stepped out from behind the rusted columns of the ruins,his long black coat billowing like a slab of steel trailing behind him.His eyes didn’t burn with rage—they glowed with something heavier:a sorrow, a

    Celesta’s condition… is truly getting worse.She’s been unconscious for three days straight now. Even when she briefly regains consciousness, it’s only for a few minutes—her words are fragmented, and her mind is barely coherent.The doctors are helpless. They say this doesn’t resemble any typical illness—it’s more like a collapse on a spiritual level.Some have even whispered, privately:“It’s like… part of her soul has been hollowed out.”I wanted to laugh that off.But one night, as I was sitting alone by her side, Celesta suddenly opened her eyes.She gripped my hand tightly, lips pale, and managed just one word:“The Grail… don’t… touch it again…”There was a fear in her eyes I had never seen before—not fear of illness, nor death—but of something far more ancient, like a nightmare about to swallow her whole.As for Edgar… he acts as if everything is normal.Still handling his duties, holding meetings, inspecting construction projects.But I know—he’s preparing something.He’s g

    Chapter 249: Diary – Entry VII & VIIIEntry VIISo it really wasn’t just my imagination.I… we tried it again.Out of curiosity—and yes, a little bit of greed.Wishing before the Holy Grail… really makes things happen.For example, we wished for the foundations in the Western District to stabilize.The soil there is notoriously loose, waterlogged year-round, and construction always collapses halfway through.The very next day, a worker accidentally unearthed a layer of rock-hard subsoil—as if an entire “natural platform” had been buried beneath.Just like that, one-third of the groundwork was done.Even the builders’ guild was stunned.Or the time Edgar wished to open a new trade route at a river bend.No one thought it possible—centuries of silt and failed excavations had buried that path.But days later, a storm rolled in, flooding from the mountain sent a surge downstream—and miraculously, it flushed the entire bend open.The channel was shaped perfectly.Instinct told me all thi

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 248: Diary Entry V–VI – The Holy Grail Appears!

    Entry VToday, for the first time in a long while, I can finally say something with a bit of lightness:We made it through.The pressure of these past days has felt like a stone suspended above our heads, ready to fall at any moment.But now—there is light breaking through.And who would’ve thought the one to change everything…was Livia and that “treasure map” she found on that idle afternoon behind the northern hills?That piece of parchment—turned out to be real.We followed the markings, sent out a few trusted workers, and began quietly digging late at night.What we unearthed was a stone-sealed ancient well.At first, there were scattered jewels and relics.But deeper down—there were sealed stairs, and a vast hidden vault.We brought in a few trustworthy antiquities experts, and every single one of them was left speechless.Then came their unanimous verdict:These were noble treasures from the early Empire.Authentic, rare—and worth a fortune.We didn’t report it—and we couldn’t
