Rebirth: Ice Queen Chapter 106: Welcome to the party
Ray tightened his grip on his phone as he stepped off the plane, the icy night air hitting his face like a slap. His pulse raced as the first bar of signal returned, and he immediately dialed Jerry’s number, his fingers trembling slightly.The line barely rang once before Jerry answered.“Where is she?” Ray’s voice was sharp, cutting through the static like a knife.“I’ve sent you the coordinates,” Jerry replied, his tone grim. “An old warehouse on the outskirts of the city. She’s still inside.”“I’m on my way.” Ray growled the words before ending the call abruptly.Jerry exhaled slowly, his hands shaking as he stared at the screen. The location pin glowed back at him. This wasn’t just a rescue—it was a race against time. Ray’s fury was palpable, even through the phone.Chloe paced outside the makeshift operations center they’d set up in a nearby safe house. General Lucas, Ray’s trusted ally in the Austrian military, had organized everything with surgical precision. Chloe had been tol

Her head tilted slightly as their gazes met, a teasing smirk tugging at her lips.“Hmmm, more people are joining the party. Me, I like,” she said, her voice laced with mockery but tinged with exhaustion. Her tone was unnervingly light, as though she was entirely unfazed by the chaos surrounding her.Ray’s steps faltered for a fraction of a second, his brain struggling to process what he was seeing. Around her, the men—hefty, rough-looking thugs who should have been towering over her in control—were kneeling. Their expressions were masks of terror, their bodies trembling like leaves in a storm.This wasn’t the sight he had imagined when he raced here. His Lilly, the soft, vibrant woman he’d sworn to protect, was supposed to be waiting for him, scared but hopeful. She wasn’t supposed to be… this.His jaw clenched as his eyes swept over her, taking in the blood streaking down her arm, the split in her lip, the bruises blooming along her skin. She was hurt—badly hurt—and yet she stood the

Ray’s heart twisted as he watched her, his mind racing. This wasn’t the Lilly he knew—but whoever this was, whatever had happened to her, he wasn’t going to let her face it alone.He straightened, his jaw tightening as resolve hardened in his eyes.“We’re leaving,” he said firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument.Lilly raised an eyebrow, her smirk deepening. “Oh, mister,” she said with a quiet laugh. “You you’re not in charge. I am. Back to my question who are you? I know you are cute and all which I like I still want to know, are perhaps the master they are talking about”Her words chilled him, but he refused to let it show. Whatever was going on here, whatever darkness had taken root in her, he was going to get her out. He had to.Ray’s jaw clenched at her words, but he forced himself to stay calm. The playful edge to her voice, the almost mocking way she spoke—it was as if she were testing him, waiting to see how he’d react.“I’m your husband. Ray Manchester. And no, I’m not

Ray didn’t wait for another challenge. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, scooping Lilly into his arms like a princess. Her body was lighter than he’d expected, as though she hadn’t eaten properly in weeks.Lilly gasped, her arms instinctively looping around his neck, her smirk never fading. “Oh, we’re doing this now, huh?” she teased, her voice dripping with amusement.“Lucas, Viktor,” Ray barked, his tone leaving no room for argument. “Handle the rest of the situation. Clear the area and get them back to HQ for questioning. I’m taking her to safety.”Lucas exchanged a look with Viktor, then nodded, his hand already moving to his earpiece. “Got it. We’ll clean up here.”Viktor eyed Lilly warily, his lips pressing into a thin line. “Be careful, Ray.”Ray didn’t respond. His focus was solely on the woman in his arms—the woman he loved, no matter how much she had changed.As they exited the warehouse, the dim glow of the setting sun cast a golden hue over them. Lilly rested her hea

The hum of the engine roared to life as the SUV sped down the uneven road, the distant echo of the confrontation in the warehouse fading into the night. Ray sat in the backseat, his arms wrapped protectively around Lilly’s unconscious form. Her head rested against his chest, her breathing shallow and uneven.Viktor drove with steady determination, the sharp lines of his jaw clenched as he navigated the bumpy terrain. Lucas sat in the passenger seat, constantly glancing back, his usual quips absent in the face of the gravity of the situation.Ray kept his focus on Lilly, pressing the blood-soaked gauze tightly against her side. The bleeding had slowed, but the crimson stain on her shirt had grown, each second feeling like a countdown he couldn’t stop.“Lucas,” Ray said, his voice low but commanding. “How many to the hospital?”“Fifteen minutes,” Lucas replied, his tone clipped. “Maybe less if Viktor keeps pushing the gas like that.”“Push harder,” Ray growled, his eyes not leaving Lill

Ray slumped back into the hospital chair, exhaustion weighing heavily on his shoulders. His gaze lingered on Lilly, still pale and fragile against the pristine white sheets, but alive. The doctor’s warnings echoed in his mind—her body was at its limit, and the baby was clinging to life by a thread.He pulled out his phone and scrolled to Damon’s number. As the line connected, Ray’s voice was low but steady, masking the turmoil inside him.“Damon, I need you to handle something for me,” Ray said without preamble.“Morning to you too, Ray,” Damon replied dryly. “What’s wrong?” ‘Does this dude even check the time before calling’ Damon thought, it basically 2 minutes after 1 am.Jerry has already told him about Lilly kidnapped and he was the one who gave them the location of the best hospital around the area with the best medical equipment, and efficient doctors that can attend to Lilly fast and could be trusted.“It’s Lilly,” Ray said, his tone softening. “She’s stable, but… she’s not h

Ray paced the hospital hallway, his phone pressed tightly to his ear. His voice was low but sharp, the tension in his tone unmistakable.“Did the alpha team call to inform you the kidnappers and do you have any idea who sent them yet?” he asked, his words clipped and precise.Jerry’s reply came quickly. “No. They’re hired mercenaries, but there’s a link to underworld. I’ve already got people looking into it.”Ray’s jaw tightened. “Good. Have those bastards sent to New York. I want to interrogated them personally. I don’t care what it takes.”“I’ll make the arrangements,” Jerry assured him. “But, big bro, focus on SIL and the baby for now. We can handle the rest.”Ray nodded absently, though Jerry couldn’t see it. “Speaking of bastards, I know you Jerry, do not cause too damage on them that will make them lifeless before my arrival”“Seriously big bro, they are basically a new set of toys they hurt my family and you want me to let them be till your arrival, that’s unfair” Jerry whined.

Water doesn’t have taste Chloe hesitated for a moment, caught between relief and the usual unease Lilly’s sharp tongue brought out in her. “Y-yes, Boss! Right away,” she stammered, standing abruptly and smoothing her skirt. “I’ll, um, see what I can find.” As she turned to leave, the door opened, and Ray stepped in, his imposing figure filling the room. Chloe froze mid-step, her eyes widening as though caught in a spotlight. She has never felt this much fear in her life but he couldn’t be blamed, if she hadn’t listened to her boss and followed his order this won’t have happened. “Excuse me,” Ray said evenly, his deep voice calm but commanding. Looking at her annoys him, he can’t believe in entrusted his family life into her hand, she basically incompetent. Chloe immediately backed away, nearly tripping over her own feet. “S-sorry, Mr. Manchester— I mean, Ray— I mean, sir!” she blurted, her words coming out in a panicked rush. Ray arched a brow, his sharp gaze sweeping over her

Rebirth: Ice Queen Chapter 166: Are You Really My Lilly
Evelyn felt the world tilt beneath her feet. Her breath came in short, sharp gasps as her mind raced, struggling to process the words that had just left Lilly’s mouth.What does she mean by ‘I raised her’? Evelyn’s fingers trembled as she clutched at her dress, her heartbeat thundering in her ears. My Lilly died. I buried her. The memory flashed in her mind like a cruel ghost—the small, lifeless body, the burial, the grief that had consumed her. I buried her. My baby is dead.Her throat closed up, panic clawing at her chest. What the fuck is going on?Her eyes locked onto Lilly, searching for a lie, for some twisted explanation. She said she’s Lilly… not Liliana. How is that even possible? Evelyn’s mind spiraled further. Is she trying to claim her twin’s identity? Is this one of the side effects of what David DeLuka did to her?The room felt like it was closing in on her.“No…” she whispered, shaking her head, her hands curling into fists. “No, this isn’t possible.”But Lilly’s gaze d
Rebirth: Ice Queen Chapter 165: I’m Lilly
Liliana’s voice wavered, but her anger burned steady. “What about the girl who grew up feeling unwanted?” she demanded, her hands trembling at her sides. “Do you have any idea what it’s like to be your daughter? To live a life where love was a distant dream?” Her breath hitched, her throat tightening. “Liliana’s life was miserable. Mine was too, growing up with you.”Evelyn flinched, her lips parting in a silent protest, but Liliana didn’t give her the chance to speak.“You said you were trying to protect me,” she continued, her voice thick with emotion, “but your protection felt more like a cage, Mother. Every single day, I felt trapped, suffocated by the life you built around me. I was always seeking, always pleading for freedom, even when I knew it was impossible.”Evelyn’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears, her expression contorted with guilt and confusion. “I—I only wanted to keep you safe…” she whispered.Liliana let out a bitter laugh, shaking her head. “Safe?” she spat. “You ca
Rebirth: Ice Queen Chapter 164: I Tried
Liliana’s breath caught, and she took an involuntary step back. “So you didn’t see her—my twin—after that? You didn’t even try to stop him?”Evelyn shook her head frantically, tears spilling down her face. Her shoulders trembled as she clutched her arms, her entire body wracked with guilt. Perhaps she was too caught up in her emotions to notice that Lilly was referring to someone else, her words laced with an underlying recognition that she herself hadn’t fully grasped yet.“I tried, Liliana,” Evelyn choked out. “I begged him to tell me where she was. But he wouldn’t answer. He just kept saying it was necessary, that I wouldn’t understand. And then he disappeared.” She sucked in a shaky breath, her voice barely above a whisper. “He left me alone. With no way to find him. No way to find her.”The air in the room felt suffocating. Lilly’s nails dug into her palms, her hands clenched into tight fists at her sides. She was shaking, fury and betrayal crashing over her in violent waves.“Yo
Rebirth: Ice Queen Chapter 163: You let him take her….I mean me.
Lily felt like her Liliana entire existence was a sham. She had been living a lie, dead believing in a lie and the truth was only now beginning to unravel. The man who had tormented her, whom she thought was her father, was actually not her biological parent. It was a shocking revelation, and she couldn't wrap her head around it. How could this be? How could her whole life be a fabrication?As she grappled with these questions, Lily's emotions were in turmoil. She felt like she was vibrating with anger and frustration, and she couldn't seem to calm down. Her existence, her identity, everything she thought she knew about herself was a lie.And to make matters more complicated, she had just discovered that she had a twin sister, who was somehow seven years older than her. It didn't make sense - how could two people be twins, yet be born at different times? It was a mind-bending concept, and Lily was desperate for answers.She hoped that the explanation she was about to receive would be
Rebirth: Ice Queen Chapter 162: That fool
Evelyn’s voice broke as she began, her trembling hands gripping the edges of the chair she sat on. She couldn’t meet Liliana’s eyes. Her gaze seemed fixed somewhere in the distance, as if reliving the memories she was about to unveil.“When I found out I was pregnant, I was overjoyed,” she began, her tone soft and uneven, every word weighted with emotion. “It felt like my whole world had fallen into place. I was carrying a piece of the love I shared with your father—your father, Liliana. He was my anchor, my safe haven.”Her lips quivered as a small, bittersweet smile appeared, only to disappear almost immediately. “I still remember the tears on his face when I told him. He held me so tightly, like he was trying to hold on to the moment forever. We had so many dreams, plans to build a home, a family. We talked about the little things—what color the nursery would be, what names we’d pick. Life felt… perfect.”Her voice cracked, and she brought a trembling hand to her face, swiping away
Rebirth: Ice Queen Chapter 161: I want to know
Evelyn walked slower when she saw her daughter’s figure from a distance, her voice carrying over, deeper with hurt. “You said you wanted to talk, right?” Liliana’s voice wavered, the tremble betraying the anger she tried to keep steady. She turned slightly, her hands clenched at her sides. “What do you want to talk about? Or are you here just to make sure I’m unhappy?” She laughed bitterly, her gaze falling to the ground for a moment before meeting Evelyn’s. “You know, Mother, if you really care as much as you claim, if you’re really here to make amends like you say, you wouldn’t have done what you did.” Evelyn stayed silent, her chest tightening as she watched Liliana brush at her cheeks roughly, trying to hold herself together. “Even if Ray had done something wrong,” Liliana continued, her voice sharp but trembling, “as a mother, you could have at least tried to hide it. Tried to make it seem like nothing was wrong. Do you know what I did, Mother?” She laughed again, this time s
Rebirth: Ice Queen Chapter 160: Why Are You Here 2
Ray’s protective instincts flared, his jaw tightening as he turned to Evelyn. “You what?” he demanded, his voice low and dangerous. Evelyn raised a hand, her expression placating. “Relax, Ray. That’s all in the past now. I came here to make amends, not to dredge up old wounds.” Liliana scoffed, folding her arms across her chest. “Amends? Is that what you’re calling this little stunt?” Evelyn smiled serenely, ignoring her daughter’s hostility. “Yes, darling. I’m here to make things right. You’ll see.” She turned her gaze back to Ray. “And as for you, young man, you seem like a good match for my daughter. I’m pleased she found someone who can handle her fire. But why are you cheating on her though.” Ray didn’t respond, his mind racing with questions and suspicions. He could feel Liliana trembling beside him, her emotions barely contained. He placed a reassuring hand on her back, silently promising her that he wouldn’t let this woman cause her any more pain. And that he didn’t cheat
Rebirth: Ice Queen Chapter 159: why are you here
Finally, she swung the door open. There she was. Evelyn Altee stood on the doorstep, her radiant smile as poised as ever, her eyes sparkling with an unsettling calm. She looked utterly at ease, as though she had every right to be there, as though she hadn’t faked her own death or threatened Lilly just weeks ago. “Hello, darling,” Evelyn said sweetly, her voice as smooth as silk. Lilly stared at her, unable to form words. Her mother looked almost exactly as she remembered from the few weeks back, only that this time she looked better and emotional state seems balanced and the guilt and fear from weeks ago was gone. Evelyn’s smile widened, and she tilted her head slightly. “Aren’t you going to invite me in?” Lilly’s lips parted, but no sound came out. A wave of emotions crashed over her—shock, anger, confusion, and an overwhelming sense of betrayal. “Why…?” she finally managed to choke out, her voice trembling with disbelief. “Why are you here? After everything? You—” She broke o
Rebirth: Ice Queen Chapter 158: Secrets at the Table
As they walked toward the dining room, Mitchell slowed her pace just enough to fall in step beside Ray, her expression calm but her eyes sharp. When she was sure Liliana wasn’t looking, she tilted her head slightly toward him and mouthed, “Have you told her? Or has she seen the news?”The weight of her question hit Ray like a ton of bricks. His smile faltered briefly before he quickly composed himself, shaking his head subtly in response. No.Mitchell’s lips pressed into a thin line, her eyes narrowing for a moment before she returned her attention to Liliana, who was inspecting a vase of fresh flowers near the dining room entrance.Ray inhaled deeply, forcing a smile back onto his face as he guided Liliana to her chair at the head of the table. “Here you go, baby girl. Sit tight, and I’ll get you settled.”But the moment he stepped back, Liliana’s gaze pinned him. Her eyes were sharp now, missing nothing. “What are you two hiding from me?” she asked, her voice cool and measured, devo
