Semua Bab REBIRTH OF THE FORGOTTEN WIFE : Bab 21 - Bab 28

This was it. The full circle. Ivy had everything Eliana had once possessed: the fiancé, the social standing, the public adoration. The exact life Eliana had walked away from, the one that had led to her demise. The one she had foolishly given up before to give to a man who had only wanted her for what her family could offer him. But Eliana was no longer the naive heiress. She was a different woman, with a different path, and a different kind of power. And now, with Ivy firmly in place, Eliana was free to build her empire, unburdened by the ghosts of her past. Her phone buzzed. It was Damian. She hadn’t spoken to him much since her move, maintaining a distance to avoid suspicion and to allow her plan to unfold. “Eliana,” Damian’s voice, usually calm and composed, was laced with a rare agitation. “Have you seen the news?” “I have,” Eliana replied, her voice steady. “The engagement. It’s quite the spectacle, isn’t it?” “Spectacle? Eliana, it’s a betrayal!” Damian roared, his fru

At St. Jude’s, the air hung heavy with the scent of antiseptic and unspoken grief. She found Professor Hayes’s room, a sterile white box where a single IV pole stood guard. She lay still, her face ashen, a tube snaking into her nose. A nurse, a kind-faced woman with tired eyes, was adjusting her monitors. “Excuse me,” Eliana whispered, her voice hoarse. “How is she?” The nurse looked up, her expression sympathetic. “she's stable for now, but it was a massive stroke. The doctors are doing everything they can, but… it’s touch and go. She's been unresponsive since she arrived.” Unresponsive. Just like her, in those final moments, her body failing, her mind screaming. “Was she… was she alone when it happened?” Eliana asked, the question feeling heavy on her tongue. The nurse nodded slowly. “Yes, in her studio. A student found him. Said she’d been complaining of headaches for a few days, but brushed it off. We found a couple of broken bones and some fractured skull when she came i

The next day Eliana went to classes acting like everything was normal but inside she was planning.She hired a private investigator to look into professor Hayes’s husband. As expected he was the typical lowlife . He was just like Ethan, minus the wealth and prestige.On behalf of Her professor she had filed a restraining order against him, preventing in from coming near her for anything. What made the situation worse was that he’d takes out a life insurance in her name. It was obvious what he had been planning, the only thing he hadn’t expected was for his wife to survive the heart attack.Eliana was determined to make him regret every of his actions. She got to the music room for her rehearsals. Leonard was there. He’d been avoiding her since the night of the competition and her accident. She had more than enough reasons to suspect that he had a hand in what transpired but it was merely a suspicion. She had nothing tangible to lay a case against him. “Hey.” She turned to look. It w

“Auntie?”Her mother’s elder sister stood staring at her which every bit of condescending facial expressions in place.Eliana went to meet her.“How did you know my school and why are you calling me Mrs Blake ? I called off the engagement already.” She whined but her aunty was not having any of it.“I’ll call you whatsoever I choose and there’s nothing you can do about it and you’d be silly to think I can’t find out whatever information I want.” Her aunt said sounding somewhat smug.“I know.” Eliana muttered to herself.“Did you say something?” Her aunty asked.“No, not at all.” She lied.“Of course. Now come along we have somewhere to be.” She said turning and walking ahead.“I can’t auntie, not now. I have somewhere more important to be.”She said looking at Lucian.Her aunt caught her look.“A boy! How inappropriate. Is this why you called off the wedding? So you could be with boys!” She said.Eliana restrained the urge to roll her eyes.“No, auntie and he’s not just any boy. You’d
