In the spacious, sunlit morning room, white marble floors and tall glass doors opened out toward the manicured rear garden. A silver tea set sat largely untouched on the low glass table.

Beatrice Vane paced back and forth across the Persian rug, her expensive silk gown rustling with every sharp step. Her face was tight with frustration as she stared at her husband, George Vane, who sat calmly in a leather armchair reading the morning financial papers.

  • Reborn to Ruin Her Husband    CH 187

    THEA’s POV The gentle morning light filtered softly through the sheer white curtains of our master bedroom, painting warm golden streaks across the duvet.I opened my eyes slowly, feeling a deep, cozy warmth wrapped around my body. My head rested comfortably against the soft pillows, and a peaceful quiet filled the room. For the first time in what felt like forever, the sharp, anxious tightness in my chest was completely gone. The constant dealing with legal files, court dates, and my situation with my former family had finally lifted, leaving behind a lightness I hadn't felt in either of my lives.I shifted slightly under the covers, a small, involuntary smile stretching across my lips as memories of the previous night flooded back into my mind.It had been... passionate. Adventurous. Beautiful.After we returned home from the High Court, the heavy walls between Elias and me had crumbled entirely. All the lingering doubts, the foolish misunderstandings, and the painful silence from

    Thea stood near the tall wooden doors of Courtroom 3. She wore a sharp, tailored navy blue suit, her l hair neatly pulled back into a smooth low bun. Her hands rested calmly over the strap of her leather handbag. Beside her, Lawyer Vincent adjusted his wire rimmed glasses and flipped through a thick paper folder, double checking every document one last time."The judge is ready for us, Thea," Lawyer Vincent said softly, looking up with a confident nod. "The evidence we submitted early this morning is absolute. There is no argument Arthur's defense team can make.""Thank you, Lawyer Vincent," Thea replied, her voice smooth and grounded. "Let us finish this."Before they could turn toward the heavy oak doors, the rhythmic sound of firm, heavy footsteps echoed down the hall.Thea turned her head.Walking toward them down the quiet corridor was Elias. He wore a dark charcoal suit that fitted his broad shoulders perfectly, his necktie straight, his hair neatly styled back. There was no tra

    The harsh morning sunlight streamed through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows of the Vane estate, casting long, sharp shadows across the polished marble floor.Upstairs in his private study, Elias Vane sat on the edge of the leather sofa. He held a glass of ice water in one hand, his fingers pressed tightly against his temples as a dull, throbbing headache pounded behind his eyes.His suit jacket was draped over the back of a chair, his dark hair messy, and his white shirt unbuttoned at the collar. His memory of the late hours was fogged by the heavy Scottish whiskey he had consumed at the lounge with Liam, but the quiet, heavy tension hanging over the house was impossible to ignore.A quiet knock sounded at the open study door.Thomas, the head security guard, stepped cautiously into the room. His face was pale, his hands clasped tightly behind his back, looking deeply uncomfortable."Mr. Vane," Thomas spoke in a low, hesitant tone. "I brought the hot tea you requested, sir."Elias t

    The clock in the corner of the living room ticked steadily, marking the quiet passage of time. It was well past two o'clock in the morning.The entire Vane estate was wrapped in deep, heavy darkness. Beatrice Vane had long gone back to her estate, still fuming from the cold, dismissive way Thea had treated her earlier in the evening. But Serena did not leave, she had placed her things in the guest room. Serena sat quietly on the edge of the velvet sofa in the pitch-black living room. She wore a soft silk robe over her clothes, her legs crossed, her dark eyes fixed on the tall glass windows that overlooked the front driveway. A cold glass of water sat untouched on the coffee table beside her.She had been sitting in the dark for over two hours, waiting."He has to come home," Serena whispered to herself, her voice tiny in the empty room. "He can't stay at the office all night. Auntie Beatrice was right... he is stressed, he is drowning in work, and his marriage is a mess. He will come

    Elias took a long, heavy gulp of the whiskey, the burning liquid hitting his throat without making him flinch. He set the heavy glass down on the table with a dull thud."She froze, Liam," Elias murmured, staring blankly at the dark wood of the table. His words were slightly slower than usual, heavy with an emotion he rarely ever showed to another human being. "I looked at her, I asked her if she wanted to start a real family with me... and she froze completely."Liam let out a slow, tired breath. "Elias, I told you in your office earlier, she was probably just caught off guard—""No," Elias interrupted, shaking his head sharply. His jaw tightened as he gripped his glass tightly. "You weren't standing there, Liam. You didn't see the expression on her face. She looked at me like I was a stranger asking her for something unreasonable. She looked terrified.""She is dealing with a massive legal war!" Liam argued back, trying to talk sense into his friend. "Her mother's name is literally

    The air in the living room was thick with tension as Thea stepped past the archway.Beatrice Vane sat on the velvet sofa, holding a porcelain cup with perfect posture. Beside her sat Serena, dressed in a sleek designer outfit, her blonde hair falling smoothly over her shoulders. Two heavy leather suitcases sat near the coffee table, clearly indicating that Serena was not just dropping by for a brief visit.When Thea entered, Beatrice did not look surprised. She set her teacup down on the saucer with a soft, deliberate click and leaned back against the plush cushions."Ah, Thea," Beatrice said, her voice smooth and dripping with artificial warmth. "You are back early. I was just helping Serena settle in. I hope you don't mind that she will be staying here for a while. It is just a harmless visit between old friends, after all."Serena looked up at Thea, offering a soft, gentle smile that did not reach her eyes. "Hello, Thea. I hope my presence isn't an inconvenience. Auntie Beatrice in

    THEA’S POV Elias leaned in until I could feel the ghost of his breath against my lips. He was waiting for me to flinch. "You think you’ve grown claws, Thea," He murmured, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous vibration. "But you’re still in my house. You’re still wearing the ring I bought you. An

    THEA’s POV The hospital room was too quiet. I lay there, my body feeling like it was made of lead. I couldn't move my fingers. I couldn't open my eyes. All I had left was my hearing, and the sound of the heart monitor's steady beep... beep... beep... "Is it done yet?" That was Maya’s voice
