Ashley sighed after the call ended but the smile on her lips was there. When she turned around, the smile on her lips froze.

“What?” Ashley did not like how she sounded guilty. She looked at him with defiance and asked in a different tone this time: “What?”

Jaxon merely smiled gently, making Ashley shiver on instinct. Somehow, he looked more dangerous like this—so weird, so unfamiliar. “Are you going out?”

Hearing his question, Ashley assumed that he did not hear anything. She remembered her itinerary and quickly knew that she would not go out today. She wanted to keep a low profile while the internet was still in turmoil.

“No. I’m not. Don’t worry. I know that the danger is still out there. We’re out in the open and they’re lurking deeply in the shadow, watching us. I know this.”

She walked past him, l

    Ashley did not know how she went home, had dinner, and fell asleep after that. This was the first time she felt like this and she did not know how to describe this feeling. Was she scared?

With a kiss from her son and soft goodbye from Jaxon, she left the mansion in a daze.She was in a daze again.But as soon as Ashley entered the building where three company representatives of those three products were waiting for her to sign the contract, she was back to that graceful and confident Ashley once more.With Dylan’s guide, and her being able to read the contracts yesterday from Nexus, Ashley signed three endorsement contracts eas

    “Why are you the one here?” This was Ashley’s expression as soon as she saw Nexus entering her car. She was the one who proposed driving, thinking that another person would come. She did not like the thought that someone she did not really know was controlling the stirring wheels. But now, she did not think such worry was necessary.“Can’t I be that expert?” Nexus asked back with raised brows. Then, he took out his ipad and started doing his ‘techy’ stuff.The strings of numbers and letters flashing on the screen made Ashley look away—she was so dizzy just by staring at it. But Nexus…his long and defined fingers were expertly flying across the screen. He was now sporting a thick black-rimmed pair of glasses, making him look like a nerd—a sexy nerd.Ashley quickly chased away her dangerous thoughts, shoving them again at the back of her mind.

    Needless to say, with Ricky handling the dirty laundry of Sean Moris and Mark Gerald, Ashley only waited for their outcome. When people in the capital did not dare to accept the projects after such rumor, she chose to import a construction company from the nearest city.Thankfully, this construction company was on the atheist side. They did not believe on any illusory things. Hearing that a big project was waiting for them in the capital city, they dared not waste time! This would be their chance to expand their connection and experience! So by fortnight, the team arrived and the project resumed.On the first day of the resumption of work, the people who had lost their jobs after quitting were waiting—they were waiting for some sort of supernatural accident again. By then, they would gloat at them for accepting such job. Even when the salary was on par with the big real estates in the country, such rumors were really bad and their empl

    The people inside the dressing heard the one-sided version of the call but they knew what was going on. They totally forgot Ashley’s other identity! She was the Madam of Elijah Consortium that was second to none in the entire country!Sabrina Taylor was the first one to react. “Are you forcing us to make way for you? Are you using your power unscrupulously?! Aren’t you afraid to have another scandal?”Ashley smiled. “Do you dare guarantee that your entertainment company will stand against the Elijah Consortium?” This was a blatant threat. She had been accused of nepotism. She initially disdained using power to attack others. But after being pushed like this because Sabrina was ‘powerful’ in the industry, Ashley saw no sense if she would take it just like this when she had the capital to defend herself.After experiencing so much ups and downs, Ashley did not have the heart to deal with this to please the people. Those people who liked her for who she was would stay, after all, they kn

    “You shouldn’t have the need to scare me to prove your point, you know.” Ashley clicked the switched and the light went on again.The young woman, who was four points identical to Ashley, narrowed her eyes. This was not the expression she expected from Ashley. In her mind, she thought that Ashley would at lest collapse from fear. After all, the news of Scottie’s kidnapping reached their ears. And yet, Ashley dared to walk past her nonchalantly.While Ashley was changing clothes behind the partition, she said: “Why are you here?”The young woman crossed her arms arrogantly. “You did not go back for the holidays. Even the gifts weren’t delivered. Dad is worried.”Ashley paused for a moment before her lips evoked a very ironic smile. “I believe in ghosts more than your statement. Stop the bullshit. Why are you here?”For the second time, the young woman frowned. The Ashley before her seemed to be so different than the last time she remembered. And she felt uncomfortable with this change.

    “You’re going to T City?” asked Jaxon. He was seated as usual on his wheelchair. But one could see the cane next to him.

Now, upon seeing Ashley and the butler carrying her suitcase, he remembered the piece of information he received last night.Ashley took her keys and answered nonchalantly, “I just sent Scottie to his online classes. The child is upset, be a father and put down that damn magazine.”Jaxon, like a good schoolboy, put down the financial magazine slowly. “Are you going to visit Dad?”Hearing him call her father ‘dad’ so naturally, Ashley had goosebumps. As far as she could remember, he was never this enthusiastic in recognizing her natal family. After all, anyone with eyes could see that her family was leeching off the big tree.“You are really trying hard.” Ashley meant this as a compliment. She was not blind.

  • 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
