Chapter 57: Summoned
Tanggal publikasi:
2026-06-18 19:39:00The call came halfway through the strategy session.
Adrian's phone lit up on the table between the three of them, and the name on the screen made him go still for a moment before he answered.
"Father," he said.
Valerie watched his face carefully as he listened.
Morris stopped speaking mid-sentence and waited along with her, the documents in front of him forgotten.

Reborn to rewrite my fate Chapter 76: The First Slap
A week passed before Anthony called to check on her.Ren had spent those seven days alone in the small apartment Diane had arranged for her temporarily, fielding calls from people who wanted to know how she was feeling, what the due date was, whether the rumors about the wedding night were true, and through all of it, the man whose child she was carrying had remained almost entirely silent.She had imagined this differently.She had watched Anthony with Valerie once, years ago, before everything fell apart between them. The flowers that arrived without occasion. The vacations booked on a whim. The particular generous attentiveness of a man determined to keep a woman happy by any means necessary.She had assumed, somewhere in the back of her mind, that being pregnant with his child would summon some version of that same devotion.It had not.So w

Diane summoned them both within a day of the news breaking online.She had received it the same way the rest of the city had, scrolling through her phone that morning before Brian's call even confirmed what the headlines already suspected. She sat with the information for exactly the time it took to finish her coffee before deciding precisely how to use it."This changes things," she said to Anthony, who sat across from her in the sitting room, nursing a drink he had been nursing since the wedding scandal had collapsed his entire carefully constructed future. "A child changes everything. Harold cannot dismiss this the way he dismissed the rest of it.""Mother," Anthony said tiredly. "It is not something to use strategically. It is a pregnancy.""Everything is strategy," Diane said. "You have simply forgotten how to use it properly."---Anthony

"I am pregnant," Ren said. "For Anthony."The words landed in the quiet kitchen with a particular weight, and Valerie sat with them for a moment, feeling the shape of everything that had just happened in the conversation rearrange itself.The apology.The confession of love.The careful, trembling vulnerability.All of it had been leading here, to this exact moment, positioned precisely to soften Valerie before the news arrived, to extract whatever sympathy could be harvested from a woman who had just lost her own pregnancy days earlier."I see," Valerie said simply."I did not know how to tell you," Ren said, her voice still carrying that careful tremor. "Especially after everything that just happened to you. I almost did not call at all, but I felt like you deserved to hear it from me directly rather than finding out some
Reborn to rewrite my fate Chapter 73: Something To Tell You
Ren called on a Thursday afternoon.Valerie was sitting in the kitchen of the home she now shared with Adrian, still recovering from the week's events, when her phone lit up with Ren's name on the screen. She looked at it for a long moment before answering, the particular weight of everything between them settling into the silence before she finally picked up."Val," Ren said, her voice quieter than usual. "I heard about what happened. I am so sorry.""Thank you," Valerie said simply."I mean it," Ren said. "I know things have not been good between us. But I would never wish that kind of loss on anyone."Valerie said nothing for a moment, letting the silence stretch."How are you feeling?" Ren asked eventually."I am managing," Valerie said.---There was a pause on the line, the par
Reborn to rewrite my fate Chapter 72: Awake
Valerie woke slowly, the world arriving back to her in pieces.The white ceiling first. The steady beep of a monitor somewhere to her right. The particular antiseptic smell that meant hospital before her mind had fully caught up with the rest of it. Then Adrian's hand, warm and tight around hers, his face coming into focus as she turned her head toward him."Hey," he said quietly."What happened?" she said, her voice rough from disuse.He held her gaze for a long moment, and something in his expression told her before he said a single word that whatever he was about to tell her was not going to be easy to hear."You collapsed at the farm," he said. "Frank called an ambulance. You have been unconscious for a few hours."She tried to sit up, the movement sending a dull ache through her abdomen that made her wince."Is everythi
Reborn to rewrite my fate Chapter 71: The Loss
One month after the wedding, the corridor had settled back into its familiar rhythm.Valerie arrived at the farm just after seven, the morning still cool, the mill running its early shift in the distance. She walked the boundary fence with Frank, reviewing the latest figures, the producer program continuing its steady expansion, everything exactly as it should be.She felt the first cramp around nine.It came sharp and sudden, low in her abdomen, stopping her mid-sentence as she stood beside Frank reviewing a delivery schedule."Are you alright?" Frank said, noticing immediately."I am fine," she said. "Just a cramp."She straightened and continued walking, but the second one arrived within minutes, sharper than the first, forcing her to grip the boundary fence for support."Valerie," Frank said, alarm entering his voice now

The documentation took four days to compile.Lance's team and Morris's team worked separately and then together, cross-referencing every decision Valerie had made in the venture against the timeline of her relationship with Adrian.
