All Chapters of Reborn Of The CEO’s Cold-Hearted Wife: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Aurora had no choice now but to wait.Wait…and survive the fact that Lilith was living under the same roof as her.The drive home from the restaurant felt longer than usual. Not because of traffic, but because her mind wouldn’t slow down. Cole’s words echoed faintly, Bobby’s confirmation rang louder, and beneath it all was the constant, gnawing awareness that danger no longer lived outside the house. It lived inside it. Wore her face. Smiled with her mouth. Spoke with her voice.By the time Aurora stepped into the mansion, her shoulders were tight, her jaw clenched, her guard already raised.The house was quiet.But not too quiet.There was no sound of Xavier’s heavy footsteps and no familiar irritation humming in the air. The staff moved quietly, efficiently, avoiding her eyes the way they always did when tension had recently exploded in the house.Xavier wasn’t home, that much she could tell.That alone should have brought relief.Instead, it sharpened something in her chest.She wa

Aurora couldn’t breathe.Her back was still pressed against the guest room door, her knees pulled to her chest, tears soaking into the sleeves of her clothes. The room was quiet but her mind wasn’t.How could it be, after what she had just heard.Her chest rose sharply, then fell. Her fingers dug into her arms as if grounding herself would stop the memories clawing their way up.But it was too late.The present blurred.And the past rushed in.—She was only six years old when she realized she was alone.Not the kind of alone where someone steps out of the room and promises to come back. Not the kind of alone that ends with a hug or a familiar voice calling your name.This was the kind of alone that swallowed you whole.She remembered standing on the sidewalk, her small fingers clutching the hem of her dress, shoes scuffed and dusty. She remembered crying until her throat burned, calling out names that never answered back.“Mama?”Nothing.“Papa?”Still nothing.“Lilith”Only passing

Xavier sat behind his desk, shoulders squared and posture perfect, yet his attention was nowhere near the documents open in front of him.The office was quiet in the way only power-filled spaces ever were. Thick glass walls muted the world outside. The city skyline stretched endlessly behind him, but Xavier hadn’t looked at it once since he arrived that morning. His pen rested between his fingers, unmoving. The same page had been open for nearly ten minutes.“Sir,” Ms. Collins said gently, tablet tucked against her arm. “Your first meeting begins at ten thirty. Legal will be joining you for the quarterly compliance review. After that, you have lunch scheduled with the board at one.”Xavier didn’t respond.Ms. Collins glanced up from her tablet, pausing. She waited a beat, then continued, professional as always.“At three, you have a call with the European branch, followed by—”“Cancel the investor meeting,” Xavier said suddenly.Ms. Collins blinked. “Sir?”“The investor meeting,” he r

Lilith washed her hands for the third time after finally finishing the batch of drugs.She had been spending nights at the lab, sleeping on chairs, surviving on caffeine and adrenaline, and today was no exception. The fluorescent lights hummed softly above her as water ran over her fingers, carrying away the last traces of chemicals she no longer even noticed the smell of. Fatigue tugged at her body, but fear didn’t touch her.Not anymore.She had beaten the timeline Billy had given her.His messages had been coming in steadily throughout the night, one after the other, growing more impatient as the hours passed. She had ignored every single one. There was no need to rush now. The work was done.Lilith turned off the tap and moved through the lab with quiet precision. She wiped down every surface, cleaned every instrument, and disposed of every material properly. Counters were scrubbed until they looked untouched. Trash was sealed and removed. Files were locked away. By the time she w

Xavier’s voice came from behind her.“Who was that?”Lilith froze.Not visibly. Not dramatically. But something inside her seized hard enough that for half a second, her lungs forgot what they were supposed to do.She did not turn immediately.She inhaled first,slow and measured,then turned around with what she hoped passed for surprise rather than panic.“Xavier?” she said. “What are you doing here?”He stood a few steps away, jacket still on, phone in his hand like he had just lowered it mid-call. His expression wasn’t angry. That would’ve been easier. Anger was loud, obvious. This was something quieter. Watchful. Careful. The kind of look a man wore when he was putting pieces together and didn’t yet like the picture forming.“That’s not what I asked,” he said evenly. “Who was the man you were talking to?”Her heart thudded once. Hard.Lilith blinked, brows knitting together as if she were genuinely trying to remember.“I… don’t know,” she said. “He asked me something. I think he th
