REBIRTH; Ex-wife's Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 13
Julian's POV“It’s an important occasion, and I have to attend it!” I insisted, my voice firm as I explained to Dr. Smith.I had been begging him for what felt like hours now, pleading with him to let me go. But he remained unmoved, his expression serious, as he continued to insist that I couldn’t leave the hospital yet.All I could think about was Ruby. The thought of being there for her, helping her, was consuming me. I had already rented the hall, made all the arrangements, and told my assistant to go get her this morning. Everything was set, but the one thing that kept me from being there was this damn hospital bed.I couldn’t even remember what my old self had discussed with Ruby before, but that didn’t matter. All that mattered now was being close to her. This was my chance,a second chance I never thought I’d get. I wouldn’t let it slip away. Not this time.“Please, doctor. It’s urgent!” I pleaded, my voice stronger now, frustration mixing with desperation.Dr. Smith shook hi

Julian's POV"It's not a crime to be here before you," Ruby said to Sophie, her voice steady but her smile clearly forced.I watched as Ruby tried hard to keep that fake smile on her face. It was obvious we were going to have to act like we came here just for the party, even though something darker hung in the air.Logan’s eyes locked on me, and I couldn’t quite read the look on his face, but it was intense. His brow furrowed deeply, and I knew he was wondering why I was here. His confusion was clear, but so was something else,something heavier.“I thought you didn’t want to come?” Logan asked, his voice louder than it needed to be. He wasn’t even looking at Ruby when he said it. His eyes stayed glued to me, sharp and piercing, like he was trying to figure me out or see through me.The way Logan stared at me was enough to make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I could feel his hatred,thick and heavy, almost suffocating. It wasn’t just in his eyes, it was in the way he stood

Julian's POV“Sophie!” Ruby shouted, her voice filled with fear as she saw the metal flying toward us.In a split second, Ruby pushed me aside, trying to shield me from the projectile. But I couldn’t just stand back and let her take the hit. My instincts kicked in, and I ran forward, throwing myself in front of her just as the metal struck.The impact hit my back hard, a sharp pain searing through me. I winced, feeling a wave of agony ripple across my skin. Thankfully, it missed the spot where I was already injured, but the pain was still enough to make me gasp. I clenched my teeth, fighting to hold back a cry as I tried to endure the hurt.“Julian!” Ruby exclaimed, her eyes wide with alarm as she turned to me. The worry on her face was palpable, and I could see the panic rising within her.She noticed my pain, and it tore at my heart to see her so frightened. I wanted to reassure her, to tell her I was okay, but the words caught in my throat. Instead, all I could do was hold my b

Ruby's POV. “What is this?” I managed to ask, my voice barely steady.My heart pounded as I stared at the receipt, my name printed clearly at the top. Why was my name there? I didn’t make that payment. I hadn’t arranged for any of this, especially since the car was supposed to crush me up first, not Julian. None of this made any sense.I glanced over at Julian, hoping for some kind of sign, something that might explain this strange mix-up. But he looked just as confused, his eyes narrowing as if he was trying to piece together a puzzle with missing pieces.He might think I planned it all. And worse, he might think I had something to do with the accident. My stomach twisted. Julian didn’t remember anything about that night, so what was he supposed to think now?Just then, the driver’s voice broke into my thoughts, sharp and accusing. “You’re not going to lie now, are you?” he sneered, a smug look on his face.I felt my blood boil. I shot him a cold, hard glare that could cut throu

Ruby's POV. I could feel it.something was definitely up. Give you everything? Over my dead body. I would never hand over my company to him, not in a million years.“Why do you want it?” I asked, keeping my voice steady, though my patience was wearing thin.He went silent, his face unreadable as he stood there, clearly searching for the right words. I watched him, waiting, though each second of silence made my irritation grow. Finally, I turned away, deciding I didn’t care to hear his answer. I walked to my wardrobe, pulling out my night dress, already done with this pointless conversation.Just then, his voice cut through the quiet. “I’m supposed to have the company. I’m a man,” he said, his tone almost entitled.I froze, feeling a wave of anger and disgust rise up inside me. Because you’re a man? He actually believed he deserved the company that I had worked so hard to build,something I had poured my heart and soul into.Without turning around, I spoke, my voice cold and firm. “

Ruby's POV. “Yeah, that’s what I thought. You’ve made a good decision,” Logan said, a smug smirk spreading across his face.A good decision? My blood boiled at his arrogance. I would never let him take my company, no matter how convincing he tried to sound. I stared at him, my face a mask of calmness, refusing to give him the satisfaction of knowing my true feelings.“So let’s get things done,” Logan added, his tone casual, as if he were discussing something as simple as the weather.Get what done? Did he really believe I would let him sign a contract and hand over everything I had worked so hard for? I stood there, glaring at him in silence, my thoughts racing.Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind, igniting a spark of hope and mischief within me. I couldn’t help but smile as I pictured how this could turn out in my favor. It was a risky plan, but if it worked, it would put me back in control.Logan frowned slightly, clearly puzzled by my sudden change in demeanor. “What are you s

Ruby's POV. “I… I…” Sophie stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.Her lips trembled as she struggled to form the words, but nothing coherent came out. A slow, satisfied smile spread across my face. This,this was exactly what I had been waiting for. Everything had unfolded perfectly, and Sophie had walked right into my trap, just as I had planned.My grandmother’s face was etched with deep worry, her brows knitted together as she glanced from Sophie to me. Her frail hand trembled slightly in mine, and I gave it a reassuring squeeze, silently telling her I had everything under control.Sophie still stood there, rooted to the spot, her eyes wide with shock and confusion. The silence in the room stretched, heavy and suffocating.“Look at what you’ve done!” I suddenly shouted, my voice cutting through the stillness like a blade. Without thinking, I surged forward and slapped Sophie across the face, the sound of the impact echoing in the tense room.She staggered back, clutching

Sophie's POV. I fell hard onto the cold floor, my cheek stinging from the slap Logan had just given me. For a moment, I was too shocked to even breathe. He had actually hit me. I couldn’t believe it. My face was hot with pain, and my mind raced, trying to understand what just happened.All because of that stupid contract. Something I hadn’t even touched or ruined. But Logan didn’t care. He blamed me anyway. When I looked up, I saw Ruby staring at us, her eyes wide with surprise, and even my grandma was frozen, unable to hide her shock.“You hit me over this worthless contract?!” I yelled, my voice shaking with anger and hurt. Logan glared down at me, his eyes filled with fury. “This is your fault! How could you be so careless, Sophie?” he shouted, his voice full of blame.I glanced over at Ruby again, and her expression had changed. She was smiling now, a small, twisted smile. She looked almost happy to see me like this, crumpled on the ground and broken. Seeing her smile made m

Sophie's POV. “What’s keeping her so long?” I muttered under my breath, tapping my fingers against the table impatiently.I glanced toward the restroom again, but there was still no sign of Ruby. The minutes ticked by, and the more I waited, the more annoyed I became. I picked up my glass and took another sip, letting the wine slide down my throat as I tried to calm myself.She really thought I’d apologize to her after everything she did to me? How pathetic. I smirked to myself, shaking my head at her foolishness. Ruby always had this ridiculous habit of trusting too much, and tonight, that naivety would be her downfall.“She’s so dumb for falling into my trap,” I whispered, a grin of satisfaction spreading across my face.She actually drank the wine I gave her without a second thought. The thought made my heart race with excitement. Everything was falling into place. The drug I’d slipped into her glass would be kicking in soon,if it hadn’t already.I leaned back in my chair, savo
REBIRTH; Ex-wife's Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 28
Julian's POV. I tried calling Ruby to warn her about Sophie, her sister. Something about Sophie’s behavior recently had been bothering me, and I couldn't shake the feeling that she was up to something dangerous. I needed Ruby to know now. But when I called her phone, it rang and rang. She didn’t answer.“Why isn’t she picking up?” I muttered, gripping my phone tightly. A knot formed in my stomach. Ruby had to know what was happening before it was too late. Sophie could be setting a trap, and if Ruby walked into it without knowing, I’d never forgive myself.I sat there, staring at my phone, waiting for it to light up with her name. Minutes felt like hours. Maybe she didn’t have her phone on her. Or maybe… maybe she already knew about Sophie’s plans? The thought barely comforted me. What if she didn’t? What if she was walking straight into danger?The clock kept ticking, and before I knew it, it was almost midnight. Still no call from Ruby. My heart sank. Was she that busy? Or worse
REBIRTH; Ex-wife's Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 27
Ruby's POV“I knew you had no good reason to invite me here,” I said, my voice steady but cold as I stared at her.My mind was racing, weighing my options. If I left now, it would be too obvious I’d practically be admitting that I knew what she was planning. So, I stayed. I sat there, pretending everything was normal, even though my instincts screamed at me to run. I would wait and see how far she was willing to go.Minutes dragged by, and then I heard the sound of footsteps approaching. My muscles tensed as I turned toward the doorway, my heart pounding. It was Sophie. She walked in with a stormy expression, her anger from earlier still written all over her face.I sat perfectly still, like I had no idea what she had done or what she was about to do. She dropped into her chair, her movements sharp and irritated. Her mood hadn’t improved since the waiter embarrassed her earlier.“How is all of this my fault?” Sophie snapped, her voice bitter as she picked up the glass of wine. The
REBIRTH; Ex-wife's Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 26
Ruby's POV:The next morning, as the soft sunlight filtered through my curtains, the first name that came to mind was Sophie. My chest tightened with unease. Why, after everything, did she suddenly want to apologize? It didn’t make sense. Sophie never did anything without a reason, and her reasons were rarely good.I pushed myself up, sitting on the edge of my bed as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. Reaching for my phone on the nightstand, I opened the message she had sent. Her words stared back at me, simple yet unsettling.“What if it’s a trap?” I muttered to myself, my voice low as if someone could overhear me. “Nothing good ever comes from Sophie.”A strange feeling clung to me, one I couldn’t shake. It wasn’t fear exactly, but it wasn’t confidence either. It was like being caught in the middle of a storm, unsure if it would pass or if it was about to get worse. Half of me wanted to hear her out, to see what this so-called apology was about. The other half screamed at me to s
REBIRTH; Ex-wife's Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 25
Ruby’s POV“I’m sorry about that. Shall we continue?” I said to the board members, my voice calm and composed.A confident smile spread across my face as I returned to my seat at the head of the table. My satisfaction radiated in every movement. The meeting resumed, but I could barely contain the quiet joy bubbling within me.Throughout the discussion, I couldn’t help the small, sly smile that kept tugging at my lips. Sophie had really fallen for it, and the look of humiliation on her face earlier had been priceless. It brought me a twisted sense of joy, fueling the fire of my carefully laid revenge plans.This particular part of the plan? Oh, it was the sweetest. It had unfolded perfectly, and the memory of Sophie’s embarrassment would keep me entertained for days.“Thank you all for your time,” I said as the meeting wrapped up. My tone was polite but carried an edge of triumph I couldn’t quite hide.The board members filed out one by one, their polite smiles and nods blending int

Julian's POV“What about the documents that were supposed to be submitted to the Prime Stone Company?” I asked, glancing at my assistant with a sharp gaze. My voice was calm but carried the weight of expectation.“They were submitted last week, sir,” he replied, his tone steady and professional.Hearing his answer, I felt a wave of relief and familiarity wash over me. Even though fate had rewound time and brought me back to the past, it was comforting to see that some things hadn’t changed. My assistant was still the same reliable, efficient, and someone I could count on in this chaotic second chance at life.I had avoided going to my company’s headquarters. I knew that if I stepped into that building, I would inevitably cross paths with the Thompson family. I wasn’t ready for that confrontation. Not yet. Instead, I chose to stay at home, working tirelessly in the quiet of my study.Work began piling up quickly, but I didn’t mind. Fortunately, my memories from my past life were int
REBIRTH; Ex-wife's Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 23
Sophie’s POV“What did you just say?” I shot back at Logan, my voice sharp and trembling with disbelief.I couldn’t believe what I’d just heard. Blackmail? Was this what we had come to after everything we’d been through together? The thought made my stomach churn.“A blackmail?” I asked again, my eyebrows drawing together in a tight frown. My voice was quieter this time, but there was no mistaking the edge in my tone.Logan didn’t say a word. He just stood there, staring at me with that desperate, determined look on his face. It was like he didn’t even realize what he had just done, how low he had sunk. I felt a surge of bitter anger rise in my chest.Wow. I didn’t realize he could be this desperate. Desperate enough to use my own secrets against me just to get hold of the company. It was pathetic. And it hurt.My whole body burned with anger, a searing ache that I couldn’t shake off. Everything was piling up, weighing me down. First, Ruby had the audacity to accuse me of something
REBIRTH; Ex-wife's Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 22
Logan's POVI stood frozen, my mind spinning as I tried to make sense of what I was seeing. Ruby and Julian? Together? What was happening between them?First, Julian had shown up at Sophie’s birthday party with Ruby. That alone had stirred something in me, questions I couldn’t shake off. And now, here they were again, together in her office, like there was some kind of secret they were keeping.I couldn’t piece it together, no matter how hard I tried. The answers felt just out of reach, slipping through my fingers like water. Yet, I couldn’t tear my eyes away. Standing there in Ruby’s office, I watched them through the transparent glass, their movements, their expressions it all seemed too familiar. Too close.“I need to figure out what’s going on between them,” I whispered under my breath, the words barely audible even to myself.I turned away and stepped out of her office, but the uneasy feeling stayed with me. The corridor was empty, and my stomach sank when I realized they were
REBIRTH; Ex-wife's Revenge After Divorce CHAPTER 21
Logan's POV"What just happened?" Did Sophie really just kick me out? My chest felt tight, my face frozen in pure disbelief.I know I shouldn’t have lost control like that. Slapping her in front of Ruby and her grandmother it was a terrible move, I admit it. But Sophie had pushed me to the edge. She cornered me, left me with no other way to react.I was furious, absolutely fuming. The frustration bubbled up inside me, making my whole body tense. What Sophie did… it wasn’t just a mistake. It wasn’t something small. She completely destroyed everything I had been working for.Everything I’ve waited for since marrying Ruby gone, just like that. It wasn’t about love. It was about that opportunity. The one thing I had my eyes set on when I walked down that aisle. And Sophie, she just snatched it away from me.Why? Why would she do this to me? What was going through her head? How could she be so careless, so cruel? The thought burned in my mind, over and over again. She knows. Sophie kno
