THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER Chapter 128: A Rival Is Born in Silence
Cleopatra tilted her head slightly.“Fan?”Cornell’s smile deepened not forced, but strangely sincere.“Yes,” he said. “Not just a fan. I’d like to be more than that… I want to be your friend. Please, will you permit me?”A brief silence.Then Cleopatra smiled faintly.“Your phone.”Cornell’s eyes lit up. He quickly handed it over.Anthony’s jaw tightened so hard it looked like it might crack. His fist clenched at his side, gaze darkening as it locked onto Cornell like a warning.But Cornell didn’t look away.He met Anthony’s stare head-on still smiling.Unbothered.Unshaken.Almost challenging.“Here,” Cleopatra said, handing the phone back.“Thank you,” Cornell replied softly. “I promise I won’t bother you with messages.”“Just keep to your word,” she said lightly.“I will.”Cornell turned.And walked away.Just as he passed, a man in a face cap was entering the building.Bryan’s fingers moved swiftly across his screen, tapping with precise control as he worked.[Bryan: She just met

“Hey man… are you sure you’re not playing a dangerous game?”Simon’s voice crackled through the phone, low and uneasy.“No,” Calvin replied without hesitation.A pause stretched between them.“And what if something happens between them?” Simon pressed.Calvin’s tone didn’t waver. “Then I’ll break up with her. Completely. I’ll have nothing to do with her ever again.”Simon exhaled sharply. “The guy you planted there… won’t Anthony notice him? You know how sharp he is.”“Bryan is smart,” Calvin said coolly. “He’ll handle it neatly. He’s already managed to tail them all the way to Nadna River.”Simon’s voice spiked. “What? That’s wicked!”“Yeah,” Calvin replied, almost indifferent. “He even sent me pictures, Anthony was about to kiss her. But something in the bushes made a noise and interrupted them.”“…Man,” Simon muttered, stunned. “I don’t even know what to say. Just… brace yourself if it doesn’t go the way you’re hoping.”“It’s fine,” Calvin said quietly. “I’ll accept my fate.”A b

The gym studio buzzed softly under bright, unforgiving lights every line, every movement exposed. The photographer lowered the camera for a moment, eyes sharp as they studied the group.“Alright—hold it. Xander, shift your weight to your left leg… yeah, like that. Relax your shoulders, but keep the tension in your arms. Good. Don’t try too hard, you already look strong.”Xander adjusted, exhaling slightly as his posture settled into something effortless yet controlled.“Sabrina,” the photographer continued, stepping closer, “lean back against the bench but not fully. I want that balance, like you could move at any second. Chin up… eyes here.” A small pause. “Perfect. That confidence? Keep it.”Sabrina tilted her head just enough, her expression sharpening into something quietly daring.“Guinevere—straighten a little more. You’re power, not softness.” A hand gesture. “Rest your fingers on the dumbbell, don’t grip it. Yes… like you don’t need to prove anything.”Guinevere adjusted with
THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER Chapter 125: Fireflies Between Silence and Almost-Kisses
A sudden, breathtaking glow stretched across its surface like spilled moonlight had learned how to move. Soft blue currents shimmered beneath the dark, weaving through the flow like living constellations trapped under glass. And above it was Fireflies.So many she almost thought she was seeing wrongly.They drifted through the air in slow, floating dances, blinking gold and amber against the night. Some hovered just above the river, their reflections doubling the magic below. It looked like the sky had fallen in pieces and decided to breathe.Cleopatra’s steps stopped completely.“…What is this?” she whispered, almost like speaking too loudly might break it.Anthony, who had been watching her instead of the view, followed her gaze and then smiled faintly, like he’d been waiting for this exact moment.“I was hoping you’d see it like that,” he said softly.But she wasn’t looking at him.Her eyes remained fixed on the river, widening ever so slightly not in fear, but in gentle wonder, a

Anthony exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair as frustration flickered across his face.“No… I couldn’t get into her room,” he admitted, his voice low, strained. “And even if I had… I’m not sure I could’ve trusted myself to leave. I hate holding back.”A soft, knowing chuckle slipped through the line.“That’s hardly a problem,” Guinevere replied smoothly, her tone laced with quiet confidence. “By this evening, you’ll both be at Nadna River. You’ll have all the time you need… uninterrupted.”Anthony’s eyes darkened slightly, her words settling deep in his mind.“Then I’ll wait,” he said after a pause, his voice steadier now. “It’s almost afternoon anyway. I’ll see her this evening.”“Good,” Guinevere murmured. “The ball is in your court now.”The line went dead.Silence filled the room.Anthony stood still for a moment, then let himself fall back onto the bed, a faint, dangerous smile playing on his lips as he pulled a pillow into his arms.“Cleo…” he whispered, his voice th
THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER Chapter 123: She Stepped Into the Trap Smiling
The door opened from the inside, only for her gaze to fall on Guinevere.For a fleeting second, the air shifted.Then, as if entirely unbothered, Cleopatra turned on her heel and retreated back into the room, her steps calm, measured and controlled.Guinevere entered behind her.Like she belonged there.“Is that how you open your door so freely?”The voice cut through the silence deep, resonant, threaded with quiet authority.Cleopatra’s composure cracked just slightly.She flinched.Then turned.Anthony stood by the door.Click.The lock slid into place.A soft sound.“I suppose it’s because of me, Anthony,” Guinevere said lightly, a faint smile tugging at her lips as she walked past Cleopatra, close enough to graze her space, to assert her presence without a word.Deliberate.Provocative.Anthony moved without urgency, settling onto the couch like a man entirely at ease in a room that didn’t belong to him.“Guinevere,” he said, tone casual, almost indifferent, “what will you two be

‘Cal…’ he muttered under his breath, and memories he hadn’t dared touch in years surged forward, crashing over him like a river long buried, carrying the ache, the warmth, and the weight of a past he thought he had lost.”“What else can I serve you?” she asked again, a small smile curling at the co

“Now that’s the spirit, girl!” she exclaimed, her voice alive with excitement. “Getting into the spotlight won’t be easy. Start with backstage work for now, while I comb through potential brands. Securing even a few good ones will give your debut a real edge.”“Okay thanks Katie” Moments later, Cl

Guinevere staggered to her feet, her chest heaving as ragged breaths tore in and out of her lungs. “Why are you just standing there?!” she barked, her voice sharp and frantic. “Go catch her!”Cleopatra moved back again, but loose rocks tumbled into the sea below, forcing her to steady herself immed
THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER Chapter 2: At the Edge of the Abyss
Cleopatra dragged herself across the rain-soaked earth, mud and water clawing at her as her freezing clothes clung to her skin. Each movement tore a gasp from her throat, exhaustion crushing her with every inch she gained.She bit back the urge to cry out, forcing herself forward through sheer will
