The sound of the door closing made Ashley looked back. She met his eyes that once mesmerized her so. She walked to the couch and made herself comfortable as she crossed her legs and said: “Where’s the divorce papers? You brought it, right?”

After what happened today, Ashley was more resolute in divorcing him as soon as possible. She saw the deep schemes in Talia’s eyes and the snake-like gleam that flashed across her eyes when she glanced at Scottie. For Ashley, Talia was a ticking time bomb.

Bombs should be eliminated as soon as possible.

Sitting upright like always, his sharp eyes scrutinized Ashley openly as if he really wanted to see if this divorce farce was only to get his attention or she was really serious. Immediately, Jaxon got his answer.

He coughed slightly, his fist covering his mouth as he averted his gaze to hide the emotions that quickly flashed across his eyes for a split second. He did not like this new side of him—the indecisive side that seemed to hesitate divorcin

    “Mommy, where’s Dad?” Scottie, who just woke up, rubbed his left eye as he walked towards his mother. He expertly sat beside his mother and curled like a cat against her arm before he used his mother’s lap as pillow.Ashley, who was drinking her coffee, caressed her son’s ruffled fluffy hair with a gently smile on her lips. “He went back to the Capital City last night, little dumpling. Your father still has a big company to manage, you know.”‘He is being a coward again,’ Ashley thought with a scoff.But she could not possibly tell her son these words, seeing how attached he was to his father. Though this realization made her comfortable, she knew that it was bad if her son harbored bad feelings to his father. The arguments of the adults should belong to the world of the adults. As parents, Scottie was their common ground that they could not taint no matter how painful it was. As a mother, she wanted to protect this save place for her son.Scottie was already satisfied when his father

Just like what Ashley said, even customers from other cities came to their store or flocked their store website for orders.As per Ashley’s instructions, Allen quickly flew to the Capital City and rented a 500 sq meter two-storey store located at the center of the east economic zone where luxurious brands were mostly situated. It had a good customer flow with the target customers concentrated in this area of the Capital City. In just two days, Allen was able to rent a storefront for the first branch of Rosemary Jewelry Store. With the newly injected funds, the construction for the subsequent renovation also began.“I looked for factories for sale in the suburbs but they are not so many which is within our budget. All of them are for lease only and it is renewable per year! Boss, you need to buy a land in the Capital City.”

    The moment Ashley saw Jaxon in the Old Man’s manor, she knew that the Old Man knew about the divorce. Her steps did not falter. Dressed in a simple long dress that reached her ankles but showed her slender arms, she walked leisurely to the living room, her eyes fixed on her son who was running towards her with open arms.Immediately, Ashley shoved Jaxon at the back of her mind as soon as she embraced her son’s warm body. Sniffing his soft hair before she carried him for a moment, she exclaimed: “Little dumpling, you will become a little bun sooner or later!”Laughing while poking Scottie’s protruding belly, she walked to the Old Man who was seated on the single grand chair in the living room. She sat at the opposite of Jaxon without pretense and let Scottie sit next to her.“Grandfather…” Ashley placed her home visit gift on the center table before she greeted the Old Man with a smile. Unlike before, she was no longer trembling in front of him. After decades, she had witnessed Old Man

    Where was she? This was Ashley’s thoughts as soon as she stepped inside the dining area. Though Talia was not here, Jaxon was absent either. She did not mind but it did not mean Scottie thought so too.“Where’s Dad, Grandpa?” He was smart for his age. He already guessed where his father was but he wanted to hear it from his Grandfather. He could not ask his mother—his little heart feared that she would be sad again. He had seen this situation too many times ever since he could remember.Vulcan, who was seated at the center of the awfully long table, sighed. He glanced at the indifferent Ashley then to the hopeful great-grandson of his. “He was seeing off a guest. Have a seat and we will start when your father comes back.”Scottie sat next to the Old Man which was to his left. The right side was reserved to Jaxon. Ashley was supposed to be seated next to Jaxon, but she turned around and sat next to her son instead. She helped her son settled down his seat even though she could see that

    Makeup done, dress checked… Ashley was good to go.She was used to the lights that centered on her as well as the lens of cameras pinned on her every move and reaction.Ashley wore an elegant white tube silk dress that created a noble vibe. It complimented the Imperial Green jade jewelries she wore around her wrists, her hair, and her neck. White and neck gave off such a classic elegant vibe.“Bravo! My friend, who recommended you for this cover is spot on. She was an amazing jadeite stone gambler and you will absolutely love her.” Frederick Lavioski walked to Ashley. There was a hint of expectation and delight in his eyes as he tried hard to tune in his excitement.“Thank you,” said Ashley, “The purple jade jewelry will be next.”“Off you go, Miss Ashley…” Frederick made himself comfortable as he sat next to Allen, th

  • REBIRTH: MR. CEO, Let's Divorce!   Lucas Greystone

    Ever since their first fight, life had not gotten any easier for Talia. If anything, it had become even harder.Lucas, once patient and composed, had grown irritable and restless. He hated being weak, hated relying on her, and the frustration bled into everything he did. He snapped more often, his words sharper than he likely intended, but the damage was done each time. And Talia—Talia, who had already carried so much weight on her shoulders—chose to step back instead of fueling the fire.Not for herself, but for Tasha.Their daughter, still too young to understand the depth of their struggles, had always been a bright spark in their darkest days. Talia refused to let that spark fade.So when Lucas’s voice took on that cold edge, when his temper flared over something as small as her adjusting his pillow or offering to help him sit up, Talia swallowed her own frustration and let it go. She bit back the pain, the hurt, and the urge to lash back. She stepped away before Tasha could see,

    The days had turned into months, and Talia had settled into a relentless routine.Between taking care of Lucas, working at the library, and making sure Tasha had everything she needed, there was never enough time. But today—today was different. Today, something miraculous had happened.Lucas had woken up.After months of watching him waste away in his coma, after months of feeding him, cleaning him, speaking to him without response—he had opened his eyes. He had whispered her name in a voice so weak and fragile that it had nearly broken her. But he was awake. He was alive.“W-Wife…” He whispered.Talia froze in shock for a split second before she cried out in surprise and happiness. “Lucas?!”And for the first time in what felt like forever, Talia saw hope.She had spent the day by his side, holding his hand, talking to him, helping him sip water from a straw. His body was weak, too weak to even sit up on his own, but he was there. He was present. It was more than she could have ever

    The days blurred into an endless cycle of exhaustion.Talia barely slept anymore.Between tending to Tasha at the hospital, checking on Lucas at home, and working at the library to keep them afloat, there was no time to rest. Every hour of her day was spoken for, every moment accounted for. It was a delicate balance, one that she couldn’t afford to lose, but the weight of it pressed down on her like a vice.Her body was slowly giving out.Tasha’s fever had finally broken, but she was still weak. The doctors wanted to keep her in the hospital for a few more days to monitor her condition. Lucas, on the other hand, had taken a turn for the worse. His body was growing frailer by the day, and without proper medical intervention, she feared the inevitable. She knew he needed professional care, but there was no money for that. Every cent she had went into keeping a roof over their heads and putting food—what little she could afford—on the table.She had no one to turn to. No allies. No suppo

  • REBIRTH: MR. CEO, Let's Divorce!   Talia's Karma

    The apartment was small—too small for three people, especially when one of them needed around-the-clock care. Talia stared at the single bed pushed against the wall, where Lucas lay unmoving, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm, unaware of the world around him. In the other corner, her daughter, Tasha, sat cross-legged on the floor, coloring with the few crayons she had managed to bring from their old home.Talia let out a slow breath, exhaustion pressing against her shoulders like an invisible weight. She had lived many lives, died twice, and yet, nothing could have prepared her for this.Her old lives had been filled with power, darkness, and control. She had never known the taste of struggle, not like this. It was absurd, really. Once, she had commanded armies of men, had resources at her fingertips, had struck fear into the hearts of people with nothing but her name. And now, she was in a rundown apartment with peeling wallpaper and a rickety heater that barely worked.

    Five months had passed since Ashley and Jaxon decided to give their family a true second chance.Now, seated in the plush back seat of their luxury SUV, Ashley’s fingers traced over the financial reports on her tablet screen. The elegant logo of Rosemary Jewelry and Rosemary Real Estate gleamed in the corner, a reminder of the empire she had built with her own hands. At the time, these companies were meant to be her insurance, a safeguard in case she had to walk away from Jaxon and start anew. But now, things had changed. She had chosen to stay. To build not just a business empire, but a family.The numbers on the reports reflected her hard work.Rosemary Jewelry, a brand that had once been a small passion project, was now a name whispered among high society. Celebrities, heiresses, and tycoons adorned themselves with her pieces, and international boutiques clamored for exclusive contracts. On the other hand, Rosemary Real Estate was a rising force, acquiring prime properties and maki

    The steam clung to Ashley’s skin as she stepped out of the bathroom, her damp hair cascading over her shoulders. A plush towel was wrapped securely around her body, but she hardly paid attention to the fabric covering her as she reached for the hairdryer on the vanity. The sound of movement near the closet made her pause.She turned her head—and then froze.Jaxon stood with his back to her, his broad shoulders flexing as he ran a towel through his damp hair. The dim lighting of their bedroom accentuated every ridge and valley of his toned muscles, the chiseled perfection of his body honed through years of discipline and training. But it wasn’t just the raw masculinity of his physique that stole Ashley’s breath—it was the dark, intricate ink stretching across his back.Her name was there.Ashley Elijah.Just beneath it, an elegant script detailed a date—one that sent an icy shiver down her spine. The date of her death in her past life.Her breath hitched in her throat, her pulse thrumm

    Jaxon Elijah sat in his office, his fingers pressed against his temples as he listened to Harold recount the details of Henry Deneuve’s confrontation with Ashley. The more Harold spoke, the more Jaxon’s fury burned like an unrelenting inferno. His jaw clenched, his breathing steady yet deep—a dangerous calm before the inevitable storm.Henry Deneuve had dared to threaten his wife? To speak to Ashley as if she were some scheming outsider rather than the woman who had suffered and endured to reclaim her rightful place? Jaxon would not tolerate it. Not now. Not ever."Prepare the package," Jaxon finally spoke, his voice devoid of emotion but carrying an unshakable weight. "Everything we've collected on Henry over the years. I want him to see every dark secret, every skeleton buried in his past."Harold nodded without hesitation. He knew his boss well enough to recognize that this was not a moment for questioning. This was a moment of execution. The Elijah Consortium did not deal in empty

    Ashley stood before the towering glass doors of an exclusive luxury boutique, her heart thudding in her chest. It was a strange sensation—one part excitement, one part apprehension. She had never done this before, never had the chance to bond with a mother over something as trivial yet meaningful as shopping. The mother she had known, the one who had raised her until she passed away, was a distant memory, blurred and bittersweet. And Camilla Connor, the woman who played the role of stepmother, had only ever used the idea of motherhood as a tool to manipulate and belittle her. But now, standing beside Uriel Deneuve, her real mother, Ashley was finally about to experience something she never had before.Uriel, graceful and poised, exuded the quiet confidence of someone who had spent her life in wealth and power yet carried an air of warmth that Ashley hadn’t expected. She reached out, gently squeezing Ashley’s hand. “Are you ready, ma chérie?” she asked in a soft voice, her foreign acce

    Ashley stood in front of the grand estate, her heart pounding against her ribcage. The Deneuve estate was nothing short of magnificent, with its towering gates, sprawling gardens, and a mansion that exuded centuries of prestige and power. She had been through countless battles in life—both emotional and physical—but standing here, waiting to meet the people who had given her life, felt like the hardest thing she had ever faced.Jaxon stood beside her, his presence a solid wall of support. He hadn't said much on the way here, knowing that no words could ease the storm brewing inside her. Instead, he simply held her hand, giving her strength in his silence. Ashley squeezed his hand briefly, grateful that despite everything, he was here.The gates opened slowly, revealing a long driveway lined with aged oak trees. A butler approached them with practiced grace, bowing slightly. "Madam Ashley, Master Jaxon, welcome. Mr. and Mrs. Deneuve are waiting for you inside."Ashley took a deep breat
