All Chapters of The Grand Rebirth Of The Undermined Wife: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Celeste’s POV“What is this?”After the charity gala, which I absolutely enjoyed, Kade invited me to his place.The whole car ride, I was elated. People were listening to me for once. I felt seen, and I couldn't thank Kade enough, until we arrived at his place.When I realized what he had done, my blood boiled.It was the same house I came to earlier, the very spacious one with the shooting range and tight security.“Did I tell you to help me, or that I needed help?”Kade began to stalk towards me, his hands in his pocket, full of commanding aura.A shiver rippled through me. This man decided that I was going to move into this house, all by himself. That didn't sit well with me, but apparently, he didn't care.“Who says I'm helping you? I'm ordering you to move in. You're so stubborn, so you'll need to listen to me if you want to be safe. That's non-negotiable.”My brows shot up at his audacity. When my back hit the island, he still didn't stop walking towards me. He cornered me ag

Kade’s POVMy car rolled into the Miller mansion, peacefully and with no opposition. The building was quite impressive, but that was the only thing impressive about the Miller family, except the first daughter of course.Everyone else, an embarrassment waiting to happen. Eva Miller was seated, a fake forced smile on her face as she received me.“Welcome, Mr Thorn.”I settled into my seat, making myself at home.“Let me go straight to the point. I never authorized for a tanked merger to be sealed.”Colour drained from her face.“What? But I got a call—”“Through illegal channels that I never gave permission to. I'm ordering you to drop it and stop responding to them. Thorn pharmaceuticals will never merge with Miller Pharma. I hope I'm understood.”Something dark flashed through the old woman's eyes, something unsettling as she proceeded to glare at me.“Are you threatening me, Mr Thorn?”“What does it look like?”That's when she burst.“You were supposed to be my in-law! How could you

Celeste’s POVThe thing I had noticed about mother and Nancy is that while mother loved her daughter very much, she wouldn't hesitate to throw her under the bus to save herself.The perfect kind of karma.“Mother, how could…how could you tell me to do that after all she did to me? Is something wrong?”It seemed to set in then, even with all her silly, pretentious acting, that mother wasn't playing with her.“How can you pick her over me? You're on her side now?”I saw the pain in her eyes as they went red with tears brimming.“I don't have the time for this.”I saw the exact moment her jaw ticked, realizing her soft manipulation didn't work.“I will not do that, ever!” Nancy's face contorted into anger.“I will have the guards pin you down until every last blog has removed it from their pages.”That struck a nerve as soon as it left Mom's lips.Looking back, I suffered that fate. I didn't want to talk about my mother's cruelty anyway. Not now. I should be happy now. I was finally gett

Kade’s POVThe lab scientists all straightened when I quietly walked into the lab. The lab was one of the biggest in the country, and they knew to maintain neatness while mixing formulas. This lab was the main power house of Thorn pharmaceuticals, where all the magic happened.“Good day Mr Thorn.” They greeted me in unison.“Where's Connor?”“Sir!” He came right out from one of the inner labs, prostrating as usual. “Good day Sir.” He greeted me again.“What have you gotten so far?” I was in no mood to even be cordial, still boiling for days now, trying not to transfer the brewed aggression.That image refused to leave my head, especially when I received her call that night.Celeste had marks all over her body, and she was thoroughly shaken. She pretended to hold up and be okay, but the distance in her eyes gave me chills.She's suffered so much. Seeing her injured and beaten like that, set something off in my chest. The feeling tugged at it, like I had failed, even with all my prote

Kade’s POV“So it is true?” The woman finally let the gasp out, Mrs Dina.Celeste settled back into her seat, seemingly done messing around with me. Celeste always uses me like this. One day she'll pay for it.“Believe what you may. I wonder why everyone is so unwelcoming. I guess I'm not going to have a great time here like I thought, that sucks.” She clicked her teeth and shook her head like she was disappointed. This woman is crazy.“It's because you're an outsider with an agenda, that's why we can't accept you!” Mrs Dina burst out again, her eyes wide like she wanted to scratch Celeste everywhere.“You betrayed your own family somehow, and you're here. Obviously you'll do the same to us! Your partner tanked the merger, so of course you're here supporting him! You've seduced him, probably even opened your legs….” I've had just about enough of these unfiltered, rude board members. Celeste had held on for too long. I didn't want her to lose her winning streak just yet, so I tried to
