Elara left the Vaughn house with Lisa and Felix at her sides in a good spirit.

The massive iron gates of the Vaughn estate closed behind them with a heavy, final clang, as if sealing away not just the house, but the chaos, the violence, the screaming, the insults, and the burning rage that had filled every corner of those walls moments ago.

For a second, Elara simply stood there, her heart still pounding so loudly she was sure the others could hear it.

Then Felix unlocked the car, Lisa climb

  • The Bride They Sacrificed: Reborn To Love And Kill   Investigate Ten Years Ago

    The city looked different at night. It felt colder and crueler.The glittering lights outside the tall glass windows of Annabelle Kingley’s penthouse reflected against the darkness like jewels scattered across black silk, beautiful and cold all at once. From above, the streets looked tiny, insignificant, filled with people who would never understand what it felt like to lose something that was supposed to belong to you.Annabelle stood near the floor-to-ceiling window with a glass of untouched champagne in her hand, still dressed in the elegant black outfit she had thrown on after leaving the spa.Her reflection stared back at her through the glass.Perfect makeup. Perfect hair. Perfect posture. And eyes filled with poisonous thoughts.The anger inside her had not cooled. If anything, it had become worse and more dangerous.The words from those headlines still echoed inside her skull like mockery.Lucian Hale and his wife, Elara Hale.Every time she thought about it, her chest burned

  • The Bride They Sacrificed: Reborn To Love And Kill   I Hate You Elara

    The attendants exchanged nervous glances at her sudden mood shift.Neither woman dared move or even question if they could help her with anything. Annabelle barely noticed they were still there. Her mind was unraveling too quickly.Because the public never officially learned their engagement had collapsed.In society’s eyes, Annabelle was still Lucian Hale’s future wife.This meant that everyone reading those headlines right now would immediately understand what had happened.She had been replaced publicly, humiliatingly. And not by someone powerful. Not by a woman from one of the elite families.But by Elara... That girl.That insignificant little nobody who somehow stole everything Annabelle believed belonged to her.Memories crashed into her all at once.The whispers during charity galas.The women pretending sympathy while secretly enjoying her humiliation.The subtle pity in businessmen’s eyes when Lucian stopped accompanying her to events.The tension in her parents’ faces ever

  • The Bride They Sacrificed: Reborn To Love And Kill   Annabelle’s Anger

    Annabelle Kingsley had always loved luxury because luxury reminded her of who she was supposed to be. Untouchable, desired, and chosen. She was not ordinary. Never ordinary. Everything around her reflected that belief with obsessive tendencies. The private spa suite occupied the highest floor of one of the most exclusive wellness clubs in the city, accessible only to elite members whose names carried enough power to open doors before they even touched them. The walls were lined with cream-colored marble veined faintly with gold, illuminated by warm recessed lighting that made everything glow softly like a dream designed for the rich. Expensive candles flickered in glass holders along the counters, releasing the scent of vanilla, lavender, and sandalwood into the air. A slow instrumental melody drifted through hidden speakers overhead, delicate piano notes blending with the faint sound of water trickling somewhere nearby. The atmosphere was designed to soothe people, to calm

  • The Bride They Sacrificed: Reborn To Love And Kill   You Are Not My Family

    Lisa stepped forward again, slower this time, more intimidating. She stopped in front of Aaron, her gaze locking onto his. “You,” she said quietly. And somehow, that was worse than shouting. “Start talking.” Aaron stiffened. For a brief second, just a second, hesitation crossed his face. Real, undeniable hesitation. Then he forced his voice steady. “We didn’t do anything.” But the words fell flat. Even he didn’t believe them. Lisa’s brow lifted slightly, her expression sharpening. “Oh?” she said softly. “So she just ended up like this on her own? Why does she look more distraught now? She wasn’t like this when we left her earlier.” She didn’t need to point. The slight tilt of her head toward Elara said everything. Elara’s eyes widened and she pointed at herself. When did she look distraught? Lucian looked at her and shook his head slightly, indicating that she should just watch another show. Elara was stunned and she tried to hide her smile and gave in to the act of acting

  • The Bride They Sacrificed: Reborn To Love And Kill   Don't You Ever Get Tired?

    BACK AT THE HOSPITAL Marjorie stepped forward too quickly, and that alone said everything. Panic was already creeping in beneath her carefully maintained composure because she could feel the situation slipping beyond her control, unraveling faster than she could contain it. The shift in her expression happened almost instantly, her features softening with practiced sweetness, her eyes glistening just enough to appear emotional without losing control completely. She looked... Fragile, heartbroken, and convincing. The kind of performance perfected over years of manipulation. She reached for Seraphina’s hands like she was searching for comfort, for understanding, for sympathy she had no right to ask for. “A-After everything…” she began softly, her voice trembling at exactly the right moments. “After everything we’ve done for Elara… I found her starving, abandoned… I begged to take her in… I raised her, protected her, loved her like my own…” Every word flowed too smoothly, too

    "Grab him!" The driver sprinted blindly toward the back of the building, panic making his vision blur. His breaths tore painfully from his throat. He almost made it around the corner... Before someone crashed into him from behind. The impact sent him slamming face-first into the dirt. Pain exploded through his ribs and he screamed. “LET GO OF ME! WHO ARE YOU? I SAID LET ME GO, FUCK IT!” Strong hands grabbed him instantly. Well, too many hands. One pinned his shoulders and another twisted his arm behind his back. “GET OFF—” A brutal punch slammed into his ribs. Agony burst through him so violently that he nearly blacked out. His scream broke apart into a choking gasp. Several men held him down effortlessly while he thrashed wildly beneath them like a trapped animal. “Who are you?!” he shouted frantically. “WHAT DO YOU WANT?!” No one answered and that terrified him even more. Rough hands yanked both his arms behind his back before a tape wrapped viciously

    Seraphina stood up so abruptly that her chair nearly toppled over behind her. Her eyes blazed, not with polite irritation, but with the cold, dangerous fury of a woman who had been patient for far too long and had just reached her limit. “That’s enough!” Seraphina snapped, her voice slicing throug

    Just then, Annabel stood up. The movement itself was not loud, not dramatic in the obvious sense, yet it felt so off, so carefully timed. Everyone shifted in their seats, the instinctive reaction of an audience that sensed, deep in their bones, that whatever Annabel was about to do would not end

    Lisa leaned in closer to Elara, her shoulder brushing against Elara’s arm as though grounding her there, as though making sure she didn’t drift away under the weight of the room, her eyes fixed sharply on the visitors gathered across the wide, intimidating living room. Her voice dropped into a whi

    Aaron’s eyes darkened. “You think this is funny?” he snarled, stalking closer. “You think you can disgrace this family and get away with it? How dare you make me look like a fool in front of all those people?!” Marjorie slapped her hand against her chest dramatically. “The guests,” she cried.
