Reborn for revenge CHAPTER THIRTY TWO: The trip before goodbye
The announcement came quietly.Final Term Field Expedition.A week-long school trip designed to test independence, teamwork, and survival skills. It was a tradition at Silvercrest Academy—one that marked the end of a student’s journey.For Sherephina, it meant something more.It was her last experience here before everything changed again.Students gathered in the main hall, energy buzzing with excitement and nerves.The instructor stood at the front.“You will work in pairs. These pairs will remain unchanged throughout the trip.”A screen lit up.Names appeared.And just like before—Sherephina Vale Jewel ArdentA ripple of murmurs followed.Jewel leaned back in her chair, glancing sideways.“We’re really stuck together, huh?”Sherephina closed her notebook.“It seems intentional.”Jewel smirked.“You think someone’s planning this?”Sherephina met her gaze calmly.“I think nothing at this school is accidental.”Jewel didn’t reply.But her eyes flickered.The trip took them far from
Reborn for revenge CHAPTER THIRTY ONE: When calm waters stir
Presentation day arrived with a kind of quiet intensity that settled over Silvercrest Academy.Students moved faster. Voices dropped lower. Even the professors seemed more alert.Sherephina walked into the hall as she always did—steady, composed, unreadable.But today, eyes followed her more than usual.Because today—She wasn’t alone.Jewel stood beside her at the front of the hall, flipping her pen lazily between her fingers.“Nervous?” she asked.Sherephina adjusted her notes.“No.”Jewel smirked.“Good. Because I am.”Sherephina glanced at her.“…You don’t look it.”Jewel leaned closer slightly.“That’s because I’m good at hiding things.”A brief pause.Sherephina didn’t respond—but she remembered that.When their names were called, the room went silent.Jewel started first.Her voice was smooth, confident, almost effortless as she introduced their topic. She didn’t rush. She didn’t stumble. She held attention like it was something she owned.Then Sherephina took over.And the r
Reborn for revenge CHAPTER THIRTY ONE: Lines that begin to blur
By mid-term, Silvercrest Academy shifted into a different rhythm.The calm of early weeks gave way to pressure—presentations, group work, internal rankings. Students who once moved casually now carried quiet urgency in their steps.Sherephina remained unchanged.Composed. Precise. Unshaken.Which was exactly why her name appeared at the top of the Global Strategy Project list.And right beneath it—Jewel Ardent.The professor adjusted his glasses and spoke calmly:“This project will determine your academic standing for the term.” “You will work in pairs. No changes.”A murmur spread across the room.Jewel leaned back in her chair, glancing sideways.“Well… that’s interesting.”Sherephina closed her notebook.“It’s efficient,” she replied. “We won’t waste time adjusting.”Jewel smiled faintly.“You assume we’ll work well together.”Sherephina met her gaze.“I assume you’re capable.”A pause.Jewel’s smile widened just slightly.“I like that answer.”They met that evening in one of th
Reborn for revenge CHAPTER THIRTY: NEW GIRL
Chapter thirty: unexpected competition It was her last year at Silvercrest Academy and she wanted it to be as peaceful as possible, no ups and downs just her normal routine; but if there was something that Silvercrest Academy had awakened in her , it was her stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat.And that was about to be put to use.Sheraphina felt different that Monday morning, the air was different and immediately she stepped into the school compound and felt it . The air was strong, too strong, like something or someone was waiting for her. Students looked at her differently, not like she minded ; she had always been the center of attention, from her luxurious off campus apartment to her latest model Tesla and to the fact that she was smart. Some teachers even said she acted like someone who has lived before, such grace she carried herself with and the aura around her. She would smile when they say things like that because she knew how true the statement was . By afte
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

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.

CHAPTER TWENTY : THE ADRASTUS REVELATIONThe warehouse went silent.Utterly, bone-deep silent.Even the gunfire stopped as every man—Trent, Marcellus, Vale, criminal—turned toward the newcomer.The bullet hung in the air like an iron teardrop.And the man who stopped it lowered his gloved hand with

The following morning feels wrong before Sheraphina even opens her eyes.The air is heavy.The house is too quiet.And the halls feel like they’re holding their breath.Grandpa Tomas doesn’t join her for breakfast.Instead, a maid sets down tea with trembling hands and whispers:“Master Tomas said

Sheraphina had barely slipped off her shoes when her phone vibrated sharply.Elias Trent Calling…Her breath stilled.He never called without texting first.She answered.“Hello—”“Where are you?”His voice was low, hard, and colder than she had ever heard it.“I’m home,” she replied slowly. “I jus
