Reborn for revenge CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT: The return of Julius adriastus
The mansion had been peaceful for weeks.Too peaceful.Sherephina sensed it the moment the black luxury convoy stopped at the Vale gates. The guards stiffened, the staff whispered, and even Grandpa Tomas straightened his posture as though preparing for an old debt to walk through the door.When the cars opened, two people stepped out:Julius Adriastus — tall, cold, powerful, with the kind of presence that bent a room without speaking.And beside him, dressed elegantly and smiling warmly, was Diona, Sherephina’s aunt.Sherephina blinked in surprise.Julius, however, did not wait for greetings.His deep golden eyes locked instantly onto Sherephina……or rather, onto the person standing beside her.Elias Trent.Elias had come by for his usual evening visit, relaxed in a casual shirt, hands in pockets. But when Julius appeared, his posture shifted—cool, controlled, protective.Julius’ expression didn’t shift, but the air tightened like a wire pulled too thin.Sherephina stepped forward pol
Reborn for revenge CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN : Final peace
The weeks after the war in the shadows passed quietly — almost strangely so.The Vale household, once tense and restless, finally breathed again.The staff walked with lighter steps.The halls felt warm, not haunted.Even the air seemed softer, carrying laughter instead of fear.For Sherephina, the change felt surreal.She had lived through accusations, betrayal, death, danger, and the silent pressure of being hunted.Now she woke up to sunlight, to breakfast prepared carefully by cooks who cared, to Grandpa Tomas humming softly as he read the morning paper.Peace felt fragile but real.Grandpa Tomas sat on the terrace one morning, wrapped in a blanket, sipping tea with steady hands. His recovery had been slow, but each day brought strength back to him.When Sherephina joined him, he looked at her with the same gentle pride he used to carry before everything fell apart.“Sit, child,” he said softly. “Let an old man have company.”Sherephina laughed quietly and sat beside him.“You’re
Reborn for revenge CHAPTER TWENTY SIX: The debt of shadows
Grandpa Tomas recovered slowly, but the doctors finally allowed him to return home. His movements were careful, his steps measured, yet his mind remained sharp. Sherephina stayed by his side almost constantly, helping him walk, helping him rest, helping him breathe through the waves of stress the family had endured.For a few days, peace almost seemed possible.Until the front gates opened for a black-draped vehicle.Until the staff began whispering in panicked voices.Until the sound of Grandma’s old bell rang through the halls to signal an emergency.Sherephina’s breath froze as the butler stepped inside with a trembling voice:“Master… it’s your son. The… the young master… he has been found.”They brought the father’s body into the mansion on a stretcher. The sheet covering him did little to mask the truth. The official explanation said car accident, but the truth laid beneath the fabric: marks that no accident could cause. Signs of violence. Silent threats carved into flesh withou
Reborn for revenge CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE: The line they shouldn’t cross
The night after Grandfather woke, the hospital settled into a quiet rhythm. But Sheraphina felt the tension beneath it — like the air before a thunderstorm.Elias refused to leave the building.He stayed outside the ward, on the phone, giving orders that sounded nothing like the calm billionaire the world admired.She overheard fragments:“Triple the surveillance.”“Every entrance, every exit.”“If they come for her, I want to know before they breathe.”Sheraphina didn’t interrupt him.She simply returned to her grandfather’s bedside.His hand lay slack on the blanket, warm but weak.Every rise and fall of his chest made her feel both relieved and afraid.She wasn’t ready to lose him.Not again.Hours passed before his eyes fluttered open again.“Sheraphina…”His voice was faint but clearer than before.She leaned closer.“Yes, Grandpa. I’m here.”He looked at her for a long moment — not with his usual firmness, but with sadness. A deep, tired sadness.“There’s something I should have
Reborn for revenge CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR:Poison in the family
The pressure on Lucinda had been building for weeks.Whispers. Threats. Promises.The enemy her mother contacted — the man from the streets — no longer treated her like a pampered girl.He treated her like leverage.Lucinda trembled in her bedroom, staring at the message he sent:If you don’t do your part, we’ll sell you off.Pretty girls make good money.Her hands shook so violently she almost dropped the phone.She wanted to scream for help.But if she did…Her mother would be ruined forever.And she would be punished for disobeying.So she chose the worst possible path:The one they shoved her toward.That night, she snuck into the Vale estate.The guards were lighter than usual — Grandfather often dismissed them inside the house. Lucinda slipped through a side door with the key she stole long ago, her breaths short and shaky.Grandfather’s study light was on.He was preparing his evening tea.Lucinda hid behind a shelf, clutching the small packet in her hand — a powder that was me
Reborn for revenge CHAPTER TWENTY THREE:The first abduction attempt
CHAPTER THREE : THE FIRST ABDUCTION ATTEMPTSheraphina left school later than usual.The festival committee meeting had run long, and by the time she walked out, the campus was quiet—too quiet.A cold wind swept across the courtyard.She pulled her bag closer.The security lamppost flickered once.Then again.Her phone buzzed.Elias.She answered immediately.“Shera,” his voice came tight, hard-edged, “why are you still on campus?”She blinked.“I just finished—”A sharp beep sounded on his end.Elias swore.“Sheraphina, listen to me carefully. You’re being followed.”Her heart skipped.“I… I thought I heard something behind me earlier—”“You’re going to walk to the gates,” Elias said, tone low and commanding. “You’re not going to run. Don’t look back. My men are already moving.”Her fingers tightened around the phone.“Elias… what’s happening?”He exhaled sharply.“They triggered the proximity sensors on your tag. Someone was close enough to touch you. That is not a coincidence.”The

The student council room buzzed with energy.Costume designs, lighting plans, fundraising booths—papers everywhere.Sheraphina walked in, quiet but composed, holding a stack of organized notes.Everyone stared.“S-Sheraphina? You’re early today!”“You’re… actually helping?”“You look different some

The courtroom was full—press, lawyers, strangers leaning forward in anticipation.The maid who had once worked silently in the Vale household now stood trembling behind the witness stand, fingers gripping the edge until her knuckles turned white.But her voice—when it finally came—was steady.“I… I

By the time Lucinda returned to school, the atmosphere had changed.Whispers stopped when she walked by.Classmates who once praised her suddenly changed their voices.“Is that her…?”“She’s the one the maid tried to protect.”Even students who used to hover around Lucinda now avoided eye contact w
