Elena gently extracted herself from Ethan’s embrace, careful not to wake him again. She pressed a soft kiss to his forehead before slipping out of the race car bed.

As she walked down the hallway toward her own room, she spotted Bernard's familiar figure at the end of the corridor, supervising a maid who was arranging fresh flowers in a crystal vase.

"Bernard!" she called out, quickening her pace.

The butler turned immediately, his professional composure never wavering. "Yes, Mrs. Carrington ?"

  • The Billionaire's Reborn Bride.    CHAPTER TWENTY: LAUGHTER, SCHEMES.

    Elena had pushed aside most of her work documents, accepting that she wasn’t going to get much done with Adrian around. Not that she minded, his energy was infectious, and after the tension of the past few days, his lighthearted presence felt like a breath of fresh air.“So,” Elena said, settling back into her chair with her own fresh cup of coffee, “you seem to know a lot about me or at least, about the fact that I exist and married your brother. But I know almost nothing about Damien beyond what I’ve seen in the past two days.”Adrian’s eyebrows rose. “Wait, seriously? How long have you two been together?”Elena felt heat creep up her neck. “It’s… complicated.”“That’s what Damien said too.” Adrian studied her for a moment, then seemed to come to some understanding. “Ah. One of those arrangements.”Elena didn’t confirm or deny, but her silence was enough.Adrian leaned back, crossing his ankles. “Well, my brother is many things, brilliant, ruthless in business, terrifying to most pe

    Adrian stopped halfway, dropping his arms with an exaggerated pout. "One of these days, big brother, you are going to let me hug you. One of these days.""Not today," Damien said flatly, but there was the barest hint of warmth in his voice that only someone who knew him well would catch.Adrian had always been the one closest to Damien. Growing up in the Carrington household, with their controlling mother and absent father, Adrian had somehow maintained his positiveness and joy, and he had never let Damien's cold exterior push him away completely.Adrian peered into the backseat and his entire face lit up. "Little champ!" he called out to Ethan.Ethan’s head whipped around, and for the first time since leaving the house that morning, genuine excitement crossed his face. He scrambled to unbuckle his seatbelt and practically threw himself out of the car, running straight into Adrian's waiting arms."I see you missed me!" Adrian laughed, lifting Ethan up and spinning him around. "I was o

  • The Billionaire's Reborn Bride.    CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: UNEXPECTED ARRIVALS.

    Damien knew he was attractive but after his wife passed away, he had not felt the same way for another woman. He had learnt to ignore advances with practiced ease."Good morning, Dr. Mitchell," he replied briefly , his tone making it clear he was here for business, nothing more.Dr. Mitchell turned her attention to Ethan, kneeling down to his level. "Good morning, little Master Ethan," she said warmly. "How are you feeling today?"Ethan stared at her silently, his face expressionless. No greeting, no smile, nothing. Just the same silence he had maintained for eight months.Dr. Mitchell straightened, not showing any disappointment, she was used to this. "Why don't you play with the toys over there while I talk to your daddy?" she suggested, gesturing to a corner of the office filled with age appropriate games and puzzles.Ethan walked over obediently but didn't actually engage with anything. He just sat down and stared at the wall, lost in his own world.Damien watched his son for a mo

  • The Billionaire's Reborn Bride.    CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: A FAVOR.

    The next morning, sunlight streamed through the tall windows of Elena's bedroom, painting golden patterns across the cream-colored walls. Elena stirred, her body protesting slightly from yesterday's tension, but the brightness of the new day felt like a fresh start.She stretched her arms above her head, working out the stiffness in her shoulders, then moved barefoot to the bathroom. The morning routine felt surreal in this luxurious space,the rainfall shower, the heated marble floors, the countertops lined with expensive toiletries she hadn't bought herself. It was like living in a five-star hotel, except this was supposed to be home now.She took a long bath, letting warm water soothe her nerves, and brushed her teeth. After her shower, she got dressed in comfortable jeans and a soft luxury knit sweater, another item from the stocked closet. She pulled her damp hair into a loose bun and headed downstairs, following the smell of fresh coffee and something sweet baking.As she ente

    The news Patricia heard stunned her.Patricia froze. "What? When?""She took them," George continued nervously. "All of them."Patricia clenched her fists, gripping the edge of George's desk. "What is that bitch up to? She's looking for something.""Did she say what?" George's voice was shaking slightly."Of course not. But it doesn't matter, she won't find anything. I made sure of it. Every transaction is buried under legitimate expenses, every payment looks like standard vendor fees." Patricia's confidence was returning, but there was an edge of desperation in her voice."Are you sure?" George asked. "Because Elena seemed different today. Like she actually knows what she's doing.""She's bluffing," Patricia snapped. "She doesn't know anything about running a company. This is just her throwing a tantrum because we hurt her precious feelings."But even as she said it, Patricia felt a flicker of doubt. The Elena she had known for years had been soft, pliable, eager to please. The woman

    Patricia stood up abruptly, her chair scraping loudly. "This is ridiculous! You can't just walk in here after years of absence and start making demands! The board has a financial responsibility….""The board has a responsibility to the shareholders," Elena interrupted, her voice sharp. "And I am the primary shareholder. Or did you forget that my mother left me fifty-one percent of the company in her will?"The color drained from Patricia's face."Oh, I know what you've been telling everyone," Elena continued, her voice dangerously quiet. "That I'm incompetent, that I don't care about the company, that I'm too busy playing socialite to be bothered with business. But here's the thing, Patricia, I've been studying. I graduated top of my class with a business degree. I've spent the last few years watching, learning, and understanding exactly what you've been doing."Elena picked up her phone again, pulling up a different file. "For instance, I find it interesting that our manufacturing
