All Chapters of Reborn as Elena Scarlet : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Tessa as Elena's POVAs the car pulled into the company grounds, my jaw dropped. Right from the entrance, it was clear—this wasn’t just any business.It was massive. A glass tower that seemed to disappear into the clouds. For a man known as the king of high-end real estate and luxury resorts, it made sense—Elena’s father had built half the skyline of this city.The security guards moved swiftly, opening the car door like they’d done it for royalty a thousand times. One of them gave a small nod, while another pointed me toward the main entrance. The scent of fresh orchids stayed in the air, and the atmosphere felt hushed, powerful, like money itself breathed here.As I walked toward the elevator, I could feel eyes on me. Some of the staff stopped mid-conversation, covering their mouths in disbelief, a few snapping quick photos with their phones.He had told the guards to take the public entrance—on purpose, I realized. Maybe he wanted everyone to see. The elevator chimed open, and the

Bella’s POVAs I sat on my bed, it all came rushing back—FLASHBACK – TWO MONTHS BEFORE ELENA’S ACCIDENT—After class, we were lounging in our private room when Elena’s phone buzzed.She scoffed, her face tightening with irritation.“Elena, what’s wrong?”“Don’t worry about it. It’s just some freak,” she muttered through clenched teeth.But minutes later, her mood shifted.“You know what? I’m meeting Gloria,” she announced, standing abruptly and walking out of the room.I was about to follow her when Emris held me back.“Allow her,” he told me, as I sat back on the sofa.A few minutes later, Elena walked back in, with a dark expression.“What’s up?”“That pathetic girl had the nerve to threaten me,” she snapped, her voice dripping with disgust.A sharp wave of anger surged in my chest.“What did she say?”“She claimed to know some secret about me,” Elena muttered, angrily. “And had the audacity to threaten me—told me to call off the arranged marriage with Adrian, since it wasn’t real

Adrian’s POVAs I passed through the hallway, I scribbled something quickly on a sticky note: Meet me at the rooftop.I slipped it into the hand of Rosa —Gloria’s friend—as I walked past her. There was no way I was going to stand beside her in public and risk people getting the wrong idea. The last thing I needed was for rumors to start about me being in any kind of relationship.I told Kade and Lucien I’d be right back and made my way up to the rooftop alone.The sky was dull and grey, the sun hiding behind thick clouds. A few minutes later, Rosa stepped out through the only door that led up. Her face was pale, her eyes looking around as if someone might be watching.“So,” I said coldly, as I blinked, “what do you know?”“Nothing,” she responded too quickly, with a tight voice. “I already wrote everything down. You saw it, right?” Her words spilled out fast, like she was scared she might say too much.I exhaled slowly, deciding not to push too hard yet.“Come on, Rosa,” I said more g

Tessa as Elena’s POV“What’s happening?” Bella asked the second the teacher left the room, her eyes wide with curiosity. “Did you cheat?” Emris added, tilting his head. “You even beat Adrian?” Bella gasped, then let out a disbelieving laugh. “That’s not supposed to happen.”I blinked at both of them, struggling to hide how suffocated I felt. Their voices were just noise in my ears. I wasn’t trying to be better than anyone—I was just trying to survive here. “Can we just forget this?” I muttered, brushing past them, needing space.Emris smirked. “The accident really brought a lot out of you, Elena.” I rolled my eyes, too tired to argue. I wasn’t Elena. I was Tessa—trapped in someone else’s perfect skin. “I’m going to see our math teacher,” I said simply, turning before either of them could press further.***The hallway felt cold as I walked alone, my steps echoing faintly against the floor. With every stride, the weight on my chest grew heavier. Gloria’s death, the anonymous texts

Tessa as Elena’s POV“Rosa killed her,” she muttered angrily as she stepped forward.“What?!” I gasped. “That’s not possible!” I shook my head in disbelief. “She’s been the one helping us all this while... giving us clues,” I added, still stunned.“Yes, I know,” she said quickly, turning around to make sure no one was following her.“She also deceived me, Elena,” she sighed deeply. “She told me you killed Gloria. That was why I sent all those threatening messages.”I stood there, frozen, my brain spiraling. Nothing made sense. The rain began to drizzle above us, like the sky was mourning with us.“My name is Mira. I’m Gloria’s younger sister,” she said as she stepped closer. I could finally see her better—she was thin, wearing worn-out jeans, and a hoodie that hung loosely off her shoulders. Her sneakers were soaked.“I don’t know why Rosa did that,” Mira whispered. “My sister trusted her… she let her into her space. But Rosa was lying all along.”She reached out and held my hand tigh
