All Chapters of Reborn as Elena Scarlet : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Adrian’s POVI lay on the bed that night, one hand absentmindedly stroking my cat’s fur as it purred softly beneath my palm. Vale should give birth in a matter of days — I’d been tracking the whole thing like it was my personal project.But something wasn’t adding up. The thought came suddenly. If Rosa saw Gloria being pushed into the water, why didn’t she scream for help when Lucas left?The pieces weren’t connecting, and the unanswered questions were starting to make my head ache. I was going to see Rosa tomorrow anyway; I’d get answers from her then.My throat suddenly felt dry, so I pushed myself up and padded downstairs for a glass of water. It was still drizzling outside, the night air smelling lightly of wet pavement. In the quiet flat, the soft hiss of the rain felt loud.I had just taken a gulp when the flat-screen caught my attention — Elena’s face filled the screen.What now? She was always in the headlines for something.I stood still, glass in hand, and listened.“Elen

Tessa’s POV“Mum, it’s nothing. Just forget about it,” I said quickly. “It’s just a random message from a fan,” I added, brushing it off as if it meant nothing.She only sighed, nodded, and stood up. “Let me allow you to rest since you’ll be going to school tomorrow,” she said.“Thank you Mum,” I replied as she walked toward the door.***The next morning, at exactly 6 a.m., I had just woken up and was getting ready for the day when Ayla knocked and stepped inside.“Ma’am, you have a live session with your fan base this morning.”“Oh, really?” I said, my face lighting up. There were fans of Elena who were genuinely loving, and I had to admit — that was something I truly enjoyed.“There have been so many requests for a live session after the news about you finding the real murderer went online.” she giggled.“What time?” I asked.“By 7 a.m., ma’am. Just thirty minutes, and you’ll be done.”“Alright, let me prepare.”“I’ll be here by 6:50 to set up the camera,” she said before leaving

Bella’s POVI lay in bed, still feeling that tingling sensation from what had happened back in school.Lucien and I had been going out on several dates, and I’d been eagerly waiting for him to make it official. I imagined it happening in some dreamy way — but I didn’t expect it today.He had pulled me aside earlier, looked straight into my eyes, and said he couldn’t wait any longer. That he wanted to get serious with me.I said yes immediately. Why wouldn’t I?My joy faded when Elena’s reaction came rushing back, like a sudden cold wave.Why couldn’t she just be happy for me? Just once, I wanted her warmth and genuine excitement for me. She couldn’t even give me that.Emris’s call came in unexpectedly.“Hey, what’s up?” I breathed.“I noticed you weren’t yourself earlier. What’s wrong?” His voice held concern.“It’s okay, Emris,” I replied. I almost told him I was now official with Lucien, but the thought that he might react just like Elena made me swallow the words.“Alright then, s

Adrian’s POVI woke up with a throbbing headache. I held my head, dragging myself downstairs to grab a glass of milk. I was at the dining table with the cup in hand when my dad stormed out of his study, looking furious. I just stood there, already wondering what I had done this time.“What’s this, Adrian!” he barked, slamming his tab on the table.I picked it up and nearly dropped it again. On the screen was a picture of me raising Lucy’s hand, in a way that looked like I was about to kiss her. The caption read: “Adrian chooses love over duty—goes for who he wants.”I exhaled slowly. My chest felt heavy. I knew it—something was in that drink yesterday. This picture just proved it.I cleared my throat, unsure how to respond. Wasn’t it supposed to be a no-media party? How on earth had someone captured this?“You’re only seventeen for crying out loud, Adrian! Do you know how this is going to affect the Company?” my father roared.“Dad, the media twisted it. I would never do this, and

Tessa’s POV (as Elena)I wiped my face with my hands as I sat upright on the bed.When would all this end?I was just a young girl fighting for her life, and now this?I had gone to the hospital three times, but nothing—no hint about how we were supposed to switch back. And now, I had to wait for some spirit… till heaven knows when?Zane’s call dragged me out of my thoughts.“Hey, Zane.”“Hey,” he said softly, almost in a whisper.“Come outside. I’m right at your door.”I blinked in surprise, “Okay.”I stood up and headed out.Zane was sitting in his car, leaning casually against the window. He wore a black leather jacket, ripped jeans, messy dark hair falling over his forehead, and that careless smirk that said he didn’t care what anyone thought.He signaled for me to hop in, and the moment I did, he sped away.We ended up at a private beach resort, and I couldn’t help wondering what we were doing there.“Hey, El,” he said with a smile, though his eyes were serious. “Back when you tol
