All Chapters of THE BILLIONAIRE'S REBORN WIFE: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Ethan watched with a tightening jaw, fingers digging into the armrests until his knuckles whitened, a vein pulsing at his temple as every muscle in his body coiled with tension. Discomfort turned to agitation when Andy strode over to Alicia and Alexander; Ethan nearly lurched to his feet the moment Alicia leaned in and pecked Andy on the cheek.Emily, who had been trying to ignore him, finally snapped. She pinched his arm hard and shot him a glacial glare. “What do you think you’re doing?”Ethan grimaced but forced a brittle smile to mask the storm beneath. His bloodshot eyes betrayed him. “Emily, believe me—she’s Alicia. That woman is my ex-wife, not some ‘Catherine’ she’s pretending to be,” he said, voice tight with urgency.Suspicion darkened Emily’s face. Her lip curled. “I know what you’re plotting, but stop dreaming. She’ll never fall for you. And Andy isn’t someone you mess with. Not even my family could protect us if they came after us. So quit fantasizing about using your body

Alicia looked at Ethan with an unreadable expression. “I don’t know who you are,” she said calmly.Ethan’s face tightened. Refusing to give up, he pressed on. “It’s me. I’m Ethan. Think—really think. You can’t just forget me.”A firm voice cut in. “My wife doesn’t know who you are. Stop pestering her,” Andy said as he rolled closer in his wheelchair.Alicia’s lips curved when she saw him. “Honey, are you done with your meetings?”“Yes,” Andy replied.Alicia turned away from Ethan as if he weren’t there. “You must be tired,” she told Andy. “Come rest in my room tonight.”Ethan flinched as if struck. The vein on his forehead stood out; his fists curled at his sides. He watched numbly as Alicia took hold of Andy’s wheelchair and guided him toward the house.“Alicia!” he called after her.She didn’t so much as glance back. Andy frowned. “Why is he calling you Alicia?”“He’s a fool,” she said evenly, and kept moving.Ethan stood rooted, regret clawing at him as they disappeared into the ma

Alicia had no idea what the mother–daughter pair were plotting. When dinner was served, she came downstairs as usual.No sooner had they finished eating than Beatrice spoke up. “Alex dear, when is Catherine and Andy’s wedding? Some of my friends are already asking about the date, and I can’t keep everyone guessing.”Alexander’s face tightened. He was worried—more than anything—about Alicia ending up with a man who couldn’t give her children. He looked at Beatrice and replied, his tone cold, “Let them decide for themselves. We can’t tell them what to do.”Beatrice turned to Alicia, unable to hide her impatience. She wanted Alicia out of the house as soon as possible. “Have you talked to Andy about your wedding?”Alicia met her gaze without answering right away. The quiet weight of her stare unsettled Beatrice, who suddenly felt as if Alicia could see straight through her intentions.“When we’re ready,” Alicia said at last.Beatrice ground her teeth, realizing Alicia wouldn’t say more. W

Alicia exhaled in relief when it seemed Alexander had finally picked up on the clues she’d planted. Done speaking, he turned to his daughter and said, “Sleep well,” then rose to his feet and left the room.After he was gone, Alicia pulled out a photo of the real Catherine. She traced a thumb over Catherine’s face and murmured, “I’m going to fulfill your dreams. It won’t be long. Those who turned your life into a living hell will regret everything they did to you.”She paused, sighed, and whispered, “Now I understand why you were so strong. Facing what you faced… it would take unimaginable strength not to give up or lose yourself.”The next morning, Alicia had breakfast with her family as usual, then headed to the company in Andy’s car. Just like the day before, Ethan pulled up and got out.He ran after Alicia, who kept walking steadily without looking back. He reached out as if to grab her, but when he noticed the bandage around his own wrist, he pulled his hand away and said, “You cl

When Ethan heard Andy’s words, his face darkened. He knew all too well that insulting Andy could mean his company disappearing from the stock market the moment it opened the next day.He understood how terrifying Andy could be, so he only glared back and said, “The poor may not be as powerful or influential as the rich, but we have dignity and principles.”Andy scoffed. “You? Principles and dignity?”Color rose in Ethan’s cheeks. The look in Andy’s eyes told him everything—Andy knew him too well. He must have investigated him.“Stop buzzing around my wife like a housefly,” Andy warned coldly. “Or I’ll call your wife and ask her to put you on a leash.”Then he turned to Alicia, his tone softening. “Wife, let’s go to your office.”Alicia smiled, and the two of them walked in together. Ethan watched them with a cold, fierce gaze, his fists clenched tight.His phone suddenly rang. When he saw the caller ID—his wife, Emily—his expression changed drastically. Panic flashed across his face, a
