All Chapters of Reborn as The Billionaire's Wife: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

For a full minute, Elena couldn’t breathe.The room felt small too small as if the walls were inching closer with every frantic beat of her heart. Alex’s hand was still on her shoulder, steady and grounding, but even that wasn’t enough to stop the tremor running through her.“Elena,” Alex said slowly, “tell me exactly what they said.”She swallowed, but her voice still came out thin and shaky.“They called me… Subject E-47. They said Project Rebirth is incomplete… and”Her throat closed.Alex finished the sentence for her.“and that it’s time you came home.”Hearing it in his voice made it real in a way she wasn’t prepared for.He stepped back just long enough to grab her phone, typing something rapidly.“Blocked number. Masked ID. Bounced through three countries before hitting you.” He set the phone down with a sharp exhale. “They wanted you to know it was them.”Elena wrapped her arms around herself.“It means they’re close.”“It means,” Alex corrected, voice hardening, “we’re tight

Elena’s POVThe following morning felt like waking up inside a nightmare that hadn’t ended. I barely slept every time I closed my eyes, I heard the distorted voice from the call.Subject E-47. We’ve been waiting for you.My stomach twisted.Who were “they”?How long had they been watching me?Were they following me now?I pushed the questions aside as I made my way into the kitchen of the coastal estate. The entire place was too quiet, too still beautiful, but heavy with tension.Alex was already there.He stood by the window, shirt sleeves rolled up, phone pressed to his ear, expression carved from steel. His posture told me everything: he’d been awake all night, calling every contact he had, every security team, every intelligence connection.And still didn’t have enough answers.His head whipped toward me the second I entered.“Elena.” His tone softened instantly, a stark contrast to the lethal edge it carried moments ago.I offered a faint smile. “You’ve been working since you wok

I didn’t realize I’d been holding my breath until the door slammed shut behind Richard’s men.The sound echoed through the underground corridor, metallic and cold, like the final punctuation mark in a sentence I never wanted to read. The dim lights flickered overhead, each pulse of brightness revealing more of the truth I’d been trying not to see Project Rebirth wasn’t just a threat.It was a countdown.And I was running out of time.My steps echoed as I moved fast down the narrow hallway, my fingers trembling as I clutched the folder I’d stolen. Not a file no. A weapon. Evidence. Proof of everything Richard had been doing in the shadows.My mind raced, my chest tightening with each step.He experimented on us. He chose us. He watched us break.And I was in every page.“Focus,” I whispered to myself, blinking back the burn in my eyes. “Just get out. Get to Alex.”Alex.The one steady thought in the chaos. He was out there somewhere, looking for me. I felt it in the same place I felt f

(Elena POV)The first thing I felt was light.Not warmth… not comfort…Just a blinding, sterile white light that stabbed behind my eyelids like needles.I gasped awake.A cold surface pressed against my back. Smooth. Seamless. Too perfect to be anything natural.My fingers twitched and brushed something that felt like tempered glass.I forced my eyes open.And froze.The room around me wasn’t a room at all it was a pod. A cylindrical glass chamber lit from the inside by soft blue strips of light embedded in the floor. I was lying on an elevated platform, no blankets, no restraints, but… no exits either.Only holographic screens floated around the pod, projecting data I couldn’t read symbols and numbers that flickered too fast to track.My throat tightened.This wasn’t a hospital.This wasn’t an abduction.This wasn’t anything human.“Hello?” My voice cracked. “Is anyone here?”The pod didn’t answer.But the lights dimmed like the room was listening.I sat up, dizziness washing over

Elena’s POV)The voice on the intercom slithered into the penthouse like smoke cold, distorted, and full of quiet threat.“Adrian Knight. Step away from the girl.”My heartbeat slammed against my ribs. Adrian didn’t move. Didn’t breathe. Didn’t even blink.He stood in front of me like a wall built of steel and rage.The elevator doors shuddered again, metal groaning as if something or someone was forcing it open from the outside.“Adrian” I whispered.He squeezed my hand once, a warning and a promise in the same breath. Stay behind me.With his other hand, he tapped a command on the security panel. The windows immediately darkened, the auto-locks engaged, and an almost invisible metal barrier began sliding down around the entrance.Almost.Because the elevator door exploded before the barrier sealed fully.A spray of sparks. A shriek of tortured steel. A gust of cold air rushed in.Three figures stepped onto the penthouse floor masked, dressed in all black, armed like shadows given fo
