ELIAS’S POV

The closed gates at the Beckett estate felt like a personal insult.

I stood in front of them, my hands shoved deep into my pockets, my jaw so tight it ached.

My black SUV was idling behind me, the engine a low, predatory growl in the quiet morning. Two of my security men stood a few feet back, staying silent. They knew better than to speak to me when I was in this mood.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Vane," the voice crackled through the intercom. It was the Beckett head of security. He sounded

  • Reborn to Ruin Her Husband    CH 199

    Inside a secluded, high-end private dining room at an exclusive club reserved for the city's old money, three men sat around a low mahogany table.Two of them were bitter, high ranking former directors who had lost their influence during Arthur's downfall. The third man was Williams, a distant, ambitious cousin from an elder branch of the Vane family who had long resented Elias’s absolute control as CEO.The room was dimly lit, the heavy velvet curtains drawn tight against the afternoon sun.Williams set his crystal whiskey glass down with a quiet clack, his eyes sharp and full of resentment. "So it's confirmed?" Williams asked in a low, cold voice. "Elias officially transferred his executive approvals to Liam today?" "Yes," replied one of the former directors, a sharp-faced man named Anthony. "He has taken an extended leave of absence. He claims it is for personal family reasons, but he hasn't stepped foot inside the building since Tuesday."Williams let out a bitter, cold scoff. "

    The afternoon sun cast a warm, golden light across the plush leather interior of Elias’s private luxury sedan. Outside the tinted glass, the high-end shopping district moved by in a quiet hum of pristine storefronts and manicured tree-lined avenues.Elias sat in the rear passenger seat, looking down at three velvet-lined boxes resting on the seat beside him.Earlier that afternoon, before heading home to begin his extended leave, he had taken a detour to the city’s most famous artisanal confectionery and jewelry house. Inside the sleek velvet boxes rested a selection of fine, organic dark chocolates with mild peppermint, a set of handmade crystal hairpins, and a soft cashmere shawl woven in a gentle cream shade.He didn't care about the price. He only cared about bringing a small, warm smile to his wife’s face when he walked through the door.The front passenger door opened, and Liam slid into the seat with a heavy sigh, tossing a thick leather folder onto the dashboard before turning

    The morning sun rose high over the financial district, its bright light reflecting off the tall glass skyscrapers. Inside the grand executive floor of the Vane Group headquarters, the atmosphere was unusually busy.Elias stepped out of the private elevator, his dark suit crisp, his necktie straight, and his long legs moving with a steady, purposeful rhythm. He had stayed home the previous day to be with Thea after the life-changing news of her pregnancy, but today he needed to clear his desk, settle outstanding corporate matters, and arrange an extended leave of absence so he could be fully present for his wife during her first trimester.As he walked past the main glass conference room, the heavy double doors opened.His father stepped into the corridor, holding a leather folder under his arm. His gray hair was neatly combed back, his posture straight, though a look of heavy sternness rested on his face. Behind him, two senior board directors bowed respectfully before walking off tow

    The master bedroom was quiet and bathed in the soft glow of the bedside lamps. Outside, the rain continued to fall in a gentle, steady rhythm against the glass.Thea sat on the edge of the large bed, wrapped in a warm cardigan. Beside her sat Nurse Evelyn, a middle-aged woman dressed in a plain knit sweater and dark trousers. She was Martha’s younger sister, and her calm, friendly demeanor made the room feel nothing like a cold hospital clinic.Elias stood a few feet away near the foot of the bed, his broad frame tense, his hands resting in the pockets of his dark trousers. His eyes remained fixed on the small white digital reader Nurse Evelyn held in her hands."Everything looks completely normal with your blood pressure, Mrs. Vane," Nurse Evelyn spoke softly, placing a warm hand gently on Thea’s wrist. "Your pulse is steady now, though your body is showing clear signs of exhaustion.""She felt very dizzy at dinner," Elias cut in, his deep voice thick with underlying concern. "She co

    By seven o'clock in the evening, the heavy corporate battle was over. To celebrate her first successful board meeting, Elias had reserved the private top-floor dining terrace at the Grand Meridian Hotel. The venue offered a stunning panoramic view of the capital's glittering skyline under the dark evening sky. Soft piano music drifted through the air, and small candles flickered inside glass lanterns on the white linen tablecloth. Thea sat across from Elias at a secluded corner table overlooking the city lights. She had removed her suit jacket, wearing only her soft white silk blouse. Her dark eyes looked bright and relaxed, a sense of genuine accomplishment resting on her features. "You were remarkable today," Elias murmured, holding up his glass of fine red wine. His dark eyes locked onto hers with deep, unshakable admiration. "I watched the way you handled Osric. You didn't even raise your voice." Thea chuckled softly, picking up her glass of sparkling mineral water. "He thoug

    The towering glass headquarters of the former Sterling Group stood in the heart of the capital’s commercial district. Under the morning light, its mirror-like windows reflected the bright blue sky, masking the years of internal corruption that had quietly rotted the organization from within.Inside the grand executive board room on the forty-second floor, a heavy, tense silence filled the air.Twelve senior directors sat around a massive oval table made of polished dark oak. Most of them were middle-aged men in expensive suits, their faces tight with quiet anger and nervous anticipation. They were Arthur's old inner circle, men who had pocketed massive bonuses, overlooked fraudulent transactions, and enjoyed absolute power for decades.At the head of the long table, the high-backed master chair sat empty."This is ridiculous," whispered Director Osric, a sharp-faced man with slicked-back hair, leaning over to tap his gold pen against his notepad. "We are board members of a major cong

    THEA’s POV “Tell him,” I said.I walked toward the dressing room.The walk-in closet was the size of a small house, filled with rows of suits in muted grays and navy blues, colors Elias liked.

    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

    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 Elias was still leaning over me, his face so close I could see the dark blue flecks in his eyes.I looked at him, and for a split second, I didn't see my husband. I saw a jailer. In my last life, I would have cried. I would have begged him not to say such scary things. But that Thea die
