Just as Alia’s thoughts began to spiral, a figure at the entrance caught her attention, interrupting her musings. It was her younger brother, Adrian. He had donned a tailored blue suit, enhancing his tall and handsome appearance. Every movement exuded the grace of nobility, yet he carried himself with an understated elegance, never ostentatious. His gaze, however, occasionally drifted, as if searching for someone.

Alia observed him closely and felt a subtle shift in her thoughts—he was indeed looking for Elise.

This didn’t surprise her. In her earlier conversations with Elise, Alia had taken the opportunity to ask about each family member’s past and personality. Elise had spoken confidently about everyone else, but when Adrian was mentioned, she uncharacteristically blushed and stammered, offering only a brief “The young master is very kind” before quickly changing the subject.

As a seasoned thief with a keen sense for human interactions, Alia immediately sensed something unusual. Cou

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 352 — Eryx’s Decision

    Night draped low over the city, and distant lights shimmered like a silent, restless tide.Eryx sat on the long bench of the old stone hall, a golden pocket watch turning slowly between his fingers. The faint cracks on its surface mirrored the slight crease in his brow. On the table before him lay a newly delivered anonymous letter—its cold, precise handwriting glaring sharply under the dim light.After a moment of silence, he lifted his gaze to Jim, who lounged against the wall nearby.“Is this your doing?”Jim—usually so casual—wore an uncharacteristically serious expression. He shook his head, voice stripped of its usual flippancy.“Of course not. But… whoever sent it has skill.”A rare tension threaded through his words.Eryx smoothed the letter out again, his eyes falling on the threat etched plainly into the lines: If you do not come, I will destroy the gem.His lips twitched faintly.“So this is their ultimatum. They want every holder of a Grail fragment in one place. It’s eith

    “I think… it’s time.”Marcellus turned the phone in his hand, his fingertips pressing down, trapping the faint glow of the message in his palm. “I’m convinced this came from one of the other factions. They’ve realized the fragments are converging. It’s likely a trap—but we’re at an impasse, and there’s no better move left.” His tone was steady, but beneath that calm lay a grim, cornered resolve.Alia’s eyes tightened as she listened. She folded her arms across her chest, as though shielding something fragile within. “You’re right. Before, I might’ve thought—if the Grail is destroyed, then so be it. But now things are different. If we want to bring Livia back, we need it. Still, we can’t just walk into their sights like fools.”Her voice carried both edge and clarity—a blade sharpened by reason, one that could cut through both fear and doubt.Elias stood by the window, his knuckles pale under the lamplight. “And that message,” he added quietly, “means they know how far we’ve come. They

    A faint trace of shyness still lingered in the air. Pale light slipped through the gap in the curtains, falling softly across Alia’s slightly flushed cheeks. She pressed her lips together and drew a slow breath, as though trying to hide her unease within it. After a brief silence, her composure returned—her voice calm, steady, and resolute once more.“I’ve put the Grail fragments back,” she said, lifting her gaze. Her eyes gleamed with a sharp, unwavering light. “We now have three. Jim holds the crucial cup handle, and we know that both Eryx and my father must have their own pieces. One way or another, the end is drawing near.”Her tone carried a strange certainty—almost prophetic, as if the gears of fate were already in motion.Elias leaned against the edge of the table, fingers tapping lightly on the wood as his mind worked quickly. “You’re right,” he murmured, brows furrowed. “But the real problem is, we don’t actually know if we’ve gathered all of them. And more importantly—how do

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 349 The Calm Before the Storm

    The stone door is behind her. The runes embedded in the wall shimmered faintly, casting a soft golden glow that drove back the shadows. The air was dense with the scent of age and secrecy, carrying that quiet stillness of a place untouched by time.At the center of the stone platform lay three fragments of the Holy Grail. Each glimmered with its own distinct light—one pale and cold as moonlight, another deep as the night, and the last flickering like hidden flame.Alia reached out and brushed her fingers across their surfaces. A faint resonance thrummed beneath her touch, something old and alive stirring between them, as though the fragments were whispering—longing to be whole again.She knew this was no coincidence.As the pieces gathered, the Grail’s power was awakening.Each new fragment seemed to draw the next closer, as if some invisible force were guiding them together. That was the Grail’s true nature—its pull growing stronger with every piece regained.“Almost there…” she murm

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 348 — Memory

    The night was deep, the air tinged with the quiet hum of wind. Moonlight slipped through drifting clouds, spilling silver patterns over the stone steps and tangled vines of the courtyard. Alia returned home soundlessly, her movements light and precise. She shed her outer cloak, locked the door behind her, and moved swiftly through the hallway toward the hidden stone door behind the fireplace.With a faint click, the concealed mechanism turned. The stone door slid open, its grinding muffled, revealing the staircase that descended into the earth. A familiar chill rose from below—clean, metallic, and ancient, with a hint of dust that had not been disturbed for centuries.Carrying a lantern, she descended step by step until the chamber appeared once more before her eyes—the secret room veined with runes and encircled by dark metal rings.It was utterly silent. On the stone altar lay the three fragments of the Holy Grail she had already gathered, arranged neatly, each breathing its own fai

    Jim’s gaze lingered on the two cup handles for a long moment, his expression unreadable—like a man weighing unseen possibilities. Then, after a brief search inside his coat, his fingers drew something out from beneath the folds of fabric.It was a shard—small, faintly luminous, etched with patterns so old and intricate they seemed almost alive. The light refracted off its surface like fire flickering in the dark.Alia froze, instantly recognizing it—the fragment of the Holy Grail that Jim had fought so ruthlessly to win at the auction. Her breath caught as the memory surged up: that same golden radiance flashing under the chandeliers, just as it glowed now.But what was he planning?The answer came a heartbeat later. Without hesitation, Jim flicked his wrist and tossed the fragment toward her.Alia instinctively caught it. The shard was icy to the touch, the chill biting through her palm, straight into her chest.“Thanks for the cup handles,” Jim said lightly, his tone carrying that f
