Ashley was basking under the sun with her son while eating their favorite pasta outside the cozy restaurant located at the suburbs of K City.

She did not participate in any bidding nor did she solve the raw jade stones. She just bought all the wools that she felt had a top-grade jadeite inside.

Now, the mother and son were exchanging notes about Ashley’s knowledge with wools and Scottie’s observation during the process.

They were laughing and talking animatedly as they enjoyed themselves when two devices rang at the same time. The mother and son looked at each other. The bigger one answered her phone and the smaller one answered the call from his smart watch.

“Hello?” They both answered, eyes looking at each other in bewilderment.

At the same moment, the two pairs of eyes widened in shock. The smaller one had fear, sadness, and worry in his eyes. The bigge

Her mind was in constant tension that she felt everything was so fast-paced that she could not even keep up with it—mentally and emotionally.The two led her to the parking lot where an SUV was waiting for her.

    There was a saying for the lovelorn teens that when only an individual lost the person would one realize what was affection.For Jaxon Elijah, who was born with a platinum spoon, this was the case.The middle-aged Ashley would not know but Jaxon knew what happened after he failed to hold that hand.Jaxon heard from his subordinates that when a person lost their important person, time seemed to slow down. He did not feel that. In fact, it was like a blink of an eye for him.One second the person he hated was alive, the next second she was gone. The time did not slow down. The world kept spinning. All his frustrations, anger, and hatred for that person was nowhere to be vented on.There was no scream that escaped from his throat. In fact, he looked calm as he if the body that fell from the rooftop was not a human—he was eerily calm.From that day onward,

    Taking care of Jaxon did not mean doing everything for him. Hell no!Ashley was only responsible on one role: being a caring wife. And to make sure she was ‘caring’ enough, the old butler was transferred back in the mansion while Jaxon’s butler was sent to the old manor. The old butler seemed to be doing all the stuff, arranging everything, and making sure the family of three was comfortable but in reality, the old butler’s real role was to serve as the Old Man’s spy.The old butler’s existence was like a hanging blade over Ashley’s head—a sharp and dangerous reminder of the deal between her and the Old Man.Ashley had no qualms about it. Being caring did not mean she had to wipe him up, to cook for him, to bathe him, or even feed him—no. Caring meant being a fucking decoration the entire time. And whenever Ashley would see the frown on the old butler’s face dur

    “Did you cook this?”Ashley—who was immersed on her phone while waiting for her son to finish his meal—looked up at Jaxon. She glanced at his untouched plate and merely raised one of her brows. “Yes.”In Ashley’s thoughts, stirring the content while letting others do the chopping and preparing was considered cooking. It was not a big deal anymore. Apparently, she chose to forget the memory of her past life where her hands were severely wounded just to learn to cook his favorite dish.She watched in wonder as he basically wolfed down his food as if he never ate for days. Even Scottie looked astonished. The little kid had never seen this side of his father—he had always seen him eating uprightly and elegantly.The mother and son were both left speechless until the dishes were cleaned up by others, leaving the three in an awkward silence.

    “We don’t have a family portrait, do we?”Ashley—who was busy designing the next year’s jewelry designs incorporating diamonds in her brand—looked up from her tablet. Her brows raised…again. “We don’t have that concept. Apparently, portraits are too ‘shabby’ according to you.”Scottie, who was also watching a movie from his laptop, looked up to his father and mother. He sat on the lavish rug with toys and gadgets surrounding him. In the vast living room of the mansion, his father was also doing something on his tablet while on wheelchair while his mother was also sketching something on her tablet. Everyone in the family was there but they were all doing their own stuff—and ever since Ashley ‘babysit’ her nominal husband, this kind of scenario became a norm.“We should get one.”Ashley glanced at his

  • 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.

  • REBIRTH: MR. CEO, Let's Divorce!   Ashley's Happiness

    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

  • REBIRTH: MR. CEO, Let's Divorce!   Family Or Not

    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
