Lahat ng Kabanata ng Reborn as The Billionaire's Wife: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

The crash of the ocean outside the glass walls echoed like a heartbeat wild, relentless, and terrifyingly alive. Elena stood at the window of the coastal estate, watching waves explode against the black rocks below. The storm had cleared hours ago, but its memory still clung to the air the scent of salt, ozone, and something burning faintly in the distance.She pressed her palm against the cool glass. The reflection that stared back was almost unfamiliar eyes shadowed, lips drawn tight. The woman who once trembled at danger was gone. In her place stood someone harder, quieter, forged by secrets and betrayals that cut deeper than steel.Behind her, the door opened with a soft hiss of air.“Elena.”Alexander’s voice was a low murmur careful, like he was approaching something fragile.She didn’t turn immediately. “You found it, didn’t you?”He was silent for a beat too long. “Yes.”Her throat tightened. “Project Rebirth.”He exhaled sharply. “The files confirm everything. Hale was experi

Elena’s POV ---The storm had quieted by dawn, but inside the estate, the chaos refused to settle.The screens were dead. The air smelled of burnt circuits and ozone. And I could still feel the faint hum beneath my skin a soft vibration like a trapped heartbeat that wasn’t entirely mine.Alexander was pacing near the shattered window, his shirt half undone, blood streaking his jaw from the fight. He hadn’t said a word since Hale’s message vanished from the surveillance screen. The silence between us was heavy, too full of things neither of us were ready to face.I stared at my trembling hands. “It wasn’t supposed to happen,” I whispered. “That light it came from me.”He stopped pacing. “I know.”“I hurt him. I could’ve hurt you.”Alexander’s gaze softened, though his voice stayed firm. “You saved me, Elena. Don’t twist that into guilt.”But guilt was all I felt. Because for every second Hale was out there, breathing and plotting, I couldn’t tell if I was truly free of him or still

Elena’s POV ---The steady hum of the jet’s engine filled the silence between us. Clouds stretched endlessly beyond the window, soft and serene a cruel contrast to the storm building inside me.Alexander hadn’t spoken a word since we left the compound. His jaw was set in that familiar way tight, unreadable, dangerous.I’d seen him furious before. But this this quiet restraint terrified me more.I folded my arms, staring out the window, trying to ignore the weight of his presence beside me. “You’re angry,” I said finally.He didn’t answer.“Fine. Then I’ll start. What the hell was that back there? You blew up half the facility without confirming if anyone was still inside”His head snapped toward me. “They were gone, Elena. Do you think I’d risk innocent lives?”“You didn’t even check!” I shot back. “You just reacted. Like you always do.”Something flickered in his eyes. Hurt. Or maybe regret. It disappeared as fast as it came. “You’re questioning my judgment now?”“I’m questioning yo

Elena’s POV ---The world didn’t end with fire.It ended with silence.Not the peaceful kind.The kind that presses against your skull, fills your lungs, and makes your heartbeat sound like thunder in a void.I floated somewhere between consciousness and nothingness. My body felt weightless. My mind… wasn’t mine.Not fully.Whispers curled around me thin, electric threads brushing against my thoughts like cold fingertips.Subject 07 detected.Neurolink active.Awakening sequence: 14%.I tried to scream, but the sound stayed trapped inside me.No.No, no, no.I forced my eyes open.The real world snapped back hard.The shattered window.Snow drifting into the room.Alex kneeling beside me, calling my name his voice sharp, desperate, terrified.But I barely heard him.Because something else was pulling me under.A flood.A memory.A program.A command.Project Rebirth wasn’t just inside my body.It was inside my mind rewriting, unlocking… invading.I clutched my head, nails digging int

Elena’s POVI didn’t remember walking back to the private suite.I only remembered Alexander’s hand wrapped around mine warm, steady, grounding guiding me through corridors that suddenly felt too bright and too cold. The world around me blurred into meaningless shapes, but the pressure of his fingers never loosened.Not once.When the door clicked shut behind us, silence fell like a velvet curtain.Only then did I realize… I was shaking.Alexander must have realized it too, because he didn’t let go. He didn’t even step back. Instead, he gently lifted my chin with two fingers, forcing my eyes to meet his.“Elena.” His voice was quite thunder. “Talk to me.”I swallowed hard. “What do you want me to say?”“That you’re here,” he murmured. “That you’re breathing. That nothing they planted in you can take you away from me.”My breath caught.He held my face like he was afraid I might vanish if he blinked.“I feel like I’m unraveling,” I whispered. “Piece by piece. Like I don’t even know wha
