Kane stared, refusing to believe what his eyes insisted on showing him: Alicia still stood where she was, unharmed—not a drop of blood on her. He blinked, stunned.

Alicia mocked him, voice edged with amusement. “The feared Desert Skull Reaper. Not only has your marksmanship worsened, your eyesight isn’t any better.”

Kane’s face drained of color. He stuttered, “How… how did—”

He cut himself off, forcing his expression flat. “You’re talking nonsense. You just got lucky I missed.”

Alicia smiled, playful and cruel. “Betraying your brother muddled your brain. The past will keep hunting you. Hiding in the streets can only keep you alive for the mediocre life you chose.”

Kane flinched. “Who the fuck are you?”

“I’m someone here to make a deal,” she said, grinning. “A friend.”

“That’s not an answer,” he said, narrowing his eyes.

“My name is Catherine Alexander.”

His gaze sharpened. “The missing daughter of Alexander—the CEO of Golden Corp…”

He fell silent. He still couldn’t reconcile what he’d

    Andy reached out and took his son’s hand, and the two of them walked into the ward together.As the door opened and Daniel stepped in, his gaze landed on his great-grandfather. His eyes brightened at once.“Great-Grandpa!” he cried, rushing over.Andy’s grandfather lifted a trembling hand, patted Daniel’s head, and said gently, “Daniel, be a good boy. Always support your father. Stay by his side.”Daniel nodded earnestly. “I want to be by your side too.”A soft laugh escaped the old man. He patted Daniel’s head again, affection shining in his eyes. “I need to talk to your father.”Daniel hesitated, unwilling to leave. He turned to Andy, and Andy smoothed his hair, giving him a small nod. Only then did Daniel walk back to the door and step out into the corridor.When the door closed, the warmth faded from Andy’s grandfather’s face. His expression turned solemn.“I don’t have much time left,” he said quietly.“Grandpa,” Andy pleaded, “you can still fight it. Don’t give up.”The old man

    Andy gritted his teeth, anger tightening his jaw. He knew Regan too well—whether the man was hiding one of his twins or not, he would deny it to the end. Regan never changed his mind. He was ruthless like that.Andy met his gaze with icy calm and curled his lip. “Don’t think I believe your lies. I know you have my child. I don’t care if I have to turn the whole country upside down to find him. I’ll risk my life to bring my child home.”Regan lifted his arms in a careless shrug, utterly unbothered. “Go ahead. Why are you telling me? It has nothing to do with me.”With that, he strode forward. Andy, unwilling but forced to give way, stepped aside and watched him head into the ward where his grandfather lay. He lowered his eyes, brows drawn tight, thinking hard.Inside the room, Regan’s father stared as if he’d seen a ghost. Years had passed since he’d last seen Regan, and he hadn’t missed him—not once. He’d truly believed Regan was gone for good.But the thought that Regan might be hold

    Fifteen years later…Andy stood before a grave, one hand in his pocket. He came here every year, without fail.“Dad!” a small voice called.Andy didn’t turn. He just kept staring at the headstone.Ever since he’d lost Alicia, he’d lived like a man holding his breath. He’d tried to deny it—tried to believe she was still out there somewhere—but the DNA results, the ring recovered from the inferno… they had forced reality into his hands.Still, he refused to accept that she was gone.His eyes burned as he looked down, grief pressing so hard it felt like he couldn’t breathe.A small hand slipped into his.Andy lowered his gaze. His son looked up at him, lips trembling. “Sorry, Dad… don’t cry.”Andy swallowed and patted his head. “I still believe your mom isn’t dead.”He took the boy’s hand and led him back to the car. It was the weekend, so there was no school to rush to—only the familiar, quiet weight of home.When they returned, Andy handed his son over to the butler. The moment he turn

    Alicia lowered her eyelids, pursing her lips tightly. She didn’t respond immediately, but when she finally spoke, her voice was firm: "Are you going to help me with one of the babies or not?"Regan’s laughter echoed from the phone’s speaker before he said, “I wonder what kind of genius your baby will be.”Alicia hung up the call, already certain she had the confirmation she needed. Instead of sitting down, she stood by her window as the sky darkened, thunder rumbled in the distance, lightning flashed, and a heavy downpour began.At dawn the next day, she got out of bed and ate quietly, without informing anyone. Then, she quietly slipped into her car and drove off alone.When the butler realized she was gone, he immediately called Andy. Miles away, Andy was in a meeting; he ignored everyone and picked up the call.“Master, your wife left the house without—”Before the butler could finish, Andy sprang to his feet, worry creasing his face. He quickly issued several commands, heading towa

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S REBORN WIFE   Chapter 182: Is He Worth It?

    Emily’s eyes went icy with resolve, and over the next few days she quietly set a plan in motion.That night, Ethan brought food for Winnie. The two of them ate in silence. Halfway through the meal, Winnie’s expression contorted—her eyes widening, bloodshot with pain. She clutched at her throat, struggling to breathe as nausea and agony surged through her.“Argh!” she cried.Ethan shot to his feet, reaching for her—then a sharp, searing pain tore through his abdomen. He staggered back and collapsed onto the couch, face twisted, staring at the food in disbelief.The bedroom door opened.Emily walked in with a gun in her hand. She took in their writhing bodies and burst into a crazed laugh.Her gaze locked on Ethan, lip curling. “Do you regret it? After everything I did for you, you threw me away like trash—and you thought you’d live happily ever after?”Ethan’s voice came out strained, raw with pain. “Did you… poison the food?”Emily didn’t bother denying it. “Yes. I poisoned it,” she s

    Emily drew a deep breath, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Ethan as she forced her voice to stay calm.“We’ve caused each other so much pain. We’ve hurt each other and filled this marriage with regrets. But ending it like this isn’t right.” Her hands tightened in her lap. “I’ve decided I’ll be loyal to you—obedient and sensible. I won’t go out without your permission, and I won’t do anything without your approval. I’m not against you marrying Winnie. I just don’t want you to divorce me.”Ethan let out a sharp, arrogant laugh. He tilted his head, a grin spreading across his face. “And what makes you think I’m going to listen to you? What makes you think I’ll do any of that?”Emily sank to her knees.“I’m begging you, Ethan,” she pleaded, voice breaking. “Please—consider me. Don’t do this.”Ethan laughed again, slower this time, as if savoring it. “Emily… what happened to your arrogance? What happened to ‘we’re equal’?” His eyes narrowed. “Didn’t you swear that if I cheated, you’d do worse?
