Chapter 87

Emelia’s Pov

“I was right after all,” I murmured under my breath. My thoughts raced as I paced the length of my room. “A lady in the house gave them to me, however, not blatantly. She gave me a gift earlier and I found out about it by accident.”

“A gift?” Miranda’s voice was sharper now, more alert. “What sort of gift is it? By any chance, could it be something that is made with jade?”

I stopped dead in my tracks, my mouth parting in surprise.

“She gave me a jade bracelet,” I whispered. “But what does that have to do with anything?”

“That particular plant has a reaction when it comes in contact with Jade.” Miranda replied, her voice clipped.

I blinked, “Wait… What kind of reaction?”

“It oxidizes.” She explained, “But only under specific conditions. The asphodel variant you found, assuming that’s what it is, has a chemical compound that breaks down when stored near trace elements of jade. It doesn’t happen immediately, but once it does, it releases a byproduct which is u

  • The Billionaire's Obsession: Reborn For Revenge   Chapter 246

    Emelia’s Pov I walked into a very grandiose sitting room. The sitting room was too big for comfort, with its walls dressed in gold wallpaper, the curtains a deep crimson velvet that fell heavy against the windows, shutting out the sun. I sat rigidly on the couch, my hands folded so tightly on my lap that my knuckles had turned pale. Kevin sat on one side of me, Elijah on the other, both quiet but steady. Kevin had insisted on this meeting, insisting that it was time I was properly introduced to the Yule family, even though things were not exactly in order. Whatever “ not in order” truly meant, I wasn’t sure.Across from us, two older women sat together, their postures elegant but their eyes sharp enough to cut. The one on the left had her silver-streaked hair tied back in a neat bun, her expression unreadable. The other, slightly younger but no less severe, tapped her manicured fingers against the armrest, studying me as though I were some rare specimen on display.And then, to thei

    Nora's Pov The handcuffs around my wrists felt heavier with every step I took. The slight clinks of the metal rubbing against each sent a constant reminder of what had happened yesterday, the day the judge’s words slammed into me like a hammer.Two years imprisonment.The sentence replayed in my head over and over, twisting like a knife in my gut. Two years of my life, gone. Two years behind iron bars, locked away like some animal. I suppose I should thank the fact that I wasn't going to be imprisoned for life like Amelia. I walked slowly, my steps dragging, my body trembling in defiance of the steady pace the three officers flanking me tried to keep. My throat burned, my eyes stung, but I refused to let tears fall, not here, not in front of them.Still, I faltered. My legs buckled for half a second, and I stopped dead in the hallway. My hands clenched so tight the cuffs bit into my skin.This is all because of her.Emelia’s face rose in my mind, clear as day. If not for her, I woul

    Emelia’s Pov The day of the trial arrived faster than I expected. Two days passed like a blur, still Kaidon hadn't woken up. Now I was seated in the polished, wood-paneled courtroom, Liam sat on my right, Elijah on my left, and Kevin was next to Elijah. The murmur of voices around us filled the air; reporters scribbled notes, cameras were banned inside but that didn’t stop the flashing eyes of journalists hungry for every detail.And then the doors opened.The room shifted, the atmosphere dropping several degrees as Amelia was led in. I hadn’t seen her since the day she was dragged away in handcuffs, and the sight of her almost startled me. She was thinner, much thinner. Her once-glossy hair looked lifeless, falling out in uneven tufts that clung desperately to her scalp. Her skin had lost its glow, replaced by a dull, gray pallor, like someone already half-consumed by the grave.But when her eyes found me, none of that mattered. Hatred. Pure, venomous hatred erupted in her gaze, fi

    Emelia’s Pov “Parole?” Liam snapped, his voice rising louder than it should have in a hospital corridor. His arms flew up in disbelief, “You’re telling me parole? Are you kidding me right now?”His tone cut through the quiet like a knife, and even a passing nurse glanced over before scurrying away, muttering about “loud families.”Liam turned his glare from Elijah to Kevin, then back to Elijah again, his chest puffing with outrage, “You can’t be serious. Nora was right there with Amelia! She was involved in the near murder, she stood by and did nothing, she should be punished just as harshly! High sentence, maximum years, no mercy!”Kevin sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose as though he’d been waiting for this argument, “Calm down, Liam.”“Don’t tell me to calm down!” Liam shot back.Kevin kept his composure, his voice even but firm, “Judging by what Nora said in prison a few days ago… she wasn’t exactly there by choice. She admitted Amelia threatened her into joining hands. She s

    Emelia’s Pov I sat at the edge of Kaidon’s bed, my fingers gripping the sheet so tightly it wrinkled beneath my touch. It has been four days already. Four days since Kaidon was rushed to the hospital and he still hadn't woken up yet. Three days ago, his vitals suddenly dropped while I was with him and I had gotten quite scared, his face as pale as paper. Though recently, he started having colour on his cheeks. I searched his face again, his jaw slack, his skin pale, lashes lying dark against his cheeks. He looked peaceful. My eyes blurred, and tears started to well up in my eyes. I hadn't cried much since I was reborn but I already cried twice just because of this man! I lowered my head, biting hard on my lip, but the pressure wasn’t enough to stop the water from slipping free. My throat burned with the effort of holding back sobs.“Kaidon…” I whispered, so softly the word almost dissolved into the steady beep of the monitor, “Please. Please wake up. I don’t know how much longer I

    Nora's Pov The guards shoved Amelia against the wall, pinning her arms behind her back. My chest heaved, my hair wild around my face, sweat dripping down my temples as I scrambled away in fear. “You’ll pay for this, Nora!” Amelia spat, her voice hoarse, “Do you hear me?! You’ll rot! You think you can frame me, but I’ll make sure you suffer before the end!”Damien’s laughter cut through the chaos like a blade. “Well, well, well.” He drawled, stepping forward just enough for his shadow to fall over me, “If there was any doubt before… It's gone now. Amelia Redfield, unstable, violent, guilty as charged.”His smirk widened as he looked down at Amelia and I like we were some insect pinned beneath his boot, “Life imprisonment will be merciful compared to what you deserve.”And yet, even pinned and gasping, Amelia still screamed, her voice breaking against the cold prison walls.“I’M NOT DONE! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I’M NOT DONE!”“Take this one away.” Damien said to the other officers and they
