The Cold-hearted CEO's Secret love: My reborn Wife Chapter 10 ~ Thief
“Hey love, can we meet I miss you.” “Why have you been distant lately?” “I’ll come over and start staying with you, you’re scaring me.” “Are you there?” Kiana sighed as she watched the load of texts pop up on her screen. She was exhausted and spent all the energy on Arthur and now that Annabel was breathing down her neck, she wanted to change her apartment but knew she had to endure it to fool them. ’Eventually I’ll have to visit and play bestie with her when all I want is to peel her skin off!’ “Will you respond to that?” Arthur’s deep voice spoke after eyeing her closely. Kiana lifted her head to meet the most beautiful eyes she’s ever seen and had to fight her muscles from spreading into a smile. “No, but I have to go, Juliana needs me back at the office. When can I meet you? We have much to discuss and if you’re investing such an amount it’s only fair that I know your plans.” Kiana reasoned with Arthur but his lack of emotion made her feel uneasy. ‘When did he become a stone-

“What are you doing here?” Kiana asked with a frown on her face. Angela smiled her usual fake smile and stepped in while keeping her eyes locked between the two. Before Angela could even respond, Annabel walked in causing Kiana to frown as she took in the turn of events. ‘What is this now?’ “Mum, what are you doing here?” Daniel asked as he watched his mother’s face stretch into a cunning smile as she whipped her head and looked at Kiana. “I wanted to speak to my daughter-in-law.” She said flatly making Kiana half laugh at the desperate attempt. ‘So desperate to take my mother’s company I see.’ Annabel stepped in and spoke with her usual sweet voice as if she wasn’t filled with more venom than a viper. “Kiana, I think you’re being too rude to her.” “Rude? I haven’t even said anything to her!” Kiana responded but she knew very well that this was an attempt to paint Kiana black while she shined. ‘It was always like this but I was too dumb to see through her back then but now I know
The Cold-hearted CEO's Secret love: My reborn Wife Chapter 12 ~ Wrong text recipient
Kiana woke up in the middle of the night and stared up at the ceiling. She couldn’t sleep as she replayed each event she had experienced and compared it to her previous life. ‘So much has changed but it seems the ultimate goal remains the same. It’s now eleven months to my death and six months before I’m…’ “Oh my God!” Kiana jolted up with her eyes as wide as a bulb when she realized she had forgotten something very important. ‘Those drinks Daniel used to give me had drugs in them which caused me to have stomach cancer! Oh no, what if yesterday’s drink had a drug too? Oh, Kiana how could you have been so stupid?!’ With a pounding heart, Kiana grabbed her phone and dialed her doctor’s number but the line went unanswered so she wrote a text. Sleep was starting to hit her so she yawned as she pressed sent. “He will probably respond to me tomorrow,” Kiana mumbled as she drifted off to sleep. ********* Arthur was working late as he did every night after his meetings. Arthur had lost
The Cold-hearted CEO's Secret love: My reborn Wife Chapter 13 ~ To install a Camera
“What are you going to do?” Juliana asked as she watched with a worried expression. Her boss looked like she would have a heart attack any second! Kiana placed both her hands in her face, “I don’t know Jullie what does one do when they send a text that was meant for their doctor to their ex?” A gasp left Juliana as she moved closer, “He’s your ex? No wonder he’s been your hero lately, speaking of hero…” Juliana trailed off but Kiana knew what was going on in her mind. They still hadn’t found a way to bring out the meeting Daniel had behind her back but it was sure that it would reflect badly on her to the board. “I have two weeks until the next meeting, by then, I need to have enough evidence to show Daniel’s true intention. As for Arthur, yes he’s my ex but I don’t want to think about that right now.” Kiana said dismissively. Juliana watched the pain that flashed in Kiana’s eyes when she mentioned her ex so she decided to change the topic. “We have a new problem, and it’s worse th

In front of Kiana laid roses, the whole living room was empty except for the roses and the bed in the middle. The sight irked her but she decided to swallow the lump in her throat as she walked carefully towards the wall. ‘At least I won’t have to move beyond this place. It seems the two have quite several plans!’ Kiana thought in anger as she removed the tiny camera. The type of camera she had was an advanced kind. All she had to do was set it up on the wall and it blended in. Unless someone scratched it off, it was impossible to know it was there. The only way to know was unless you put it there in the first place. “Great! Now let me see you two talk rubbish after I catch you!” Kiana spat under her breath and stepped away. Her heart was beating wildly against her chest but she couldn’t help but smile with pride! ‘In my previous life, I could barely do anything. It’s been a few weeks since I was reborn and I’m now able to even plant cameras? The heavens must have added an extra
The Cold-hearted CEO's Secret love: My reborn Wife Chapter 15 ~ A distraction
“I know what you’re doing,” Kiana mumbled as sleep started consuming her. It had gotten late and Juliana had to leave because she couldn’t let her young sister sleep on her own. Arthur had walked in and found Kiana in a state of shock and wide awake making him extremely worried. “What am I doing?” Arthur asked as he brushed Kiana’s hair smoothly making her lean in closer. Arthur was highly affected by Kiana and it took great control for him to keep his hands down when all he wanted to do was to pin her and kiss her senseless claiming her in every way known to mankind but he couldn’t... Yet! “Trying to distract me. You know, I don’t know why you’re here this time. But I’m okay.” Kiana said as she turned her head to look up at him and found Arthur staring down at her with a warm gaze in gorgeous hazel eyes. Kiana was lying down on the bed while Arthur’s tall frame was seated with Kiana’s head on his lap as he brushed her hair back. This was what helped calm her down when they were in

“Thank you, Arthur.” Kiana smiled up at the man who was sitting across from her. Arthur looked handsome as usual in a beige sweater and khaki pants with his man bun tied neatly. Kiana was feeling so good despite what she had watched the previous night, so she decided to go for a short black skirt that held her curves in the right places with a white body suit and a jacket. Her short curls were loose and she wore minimal makeup as she met Arthur to plan their next move. Arthur stared at Kiana with a hot gaze that felt like he could see her soul making a blush creep up her cheeks as she sipped her coffee. Kiana’s big brown eyes stared at Arthur and they held each other's gaze for a few minutes without saying anything. Everything felt like it had vanished and now, it was only the two of them. For a moment, it felt like they were back to the moments from ten years ago when they were so deeply in love and couldn’t stay away from each other. The same thoughts went through their minds as
The Cold-hearted CEO's Secret love: My reborn Wife Chapter 17 ~ A problem
Arthur was in deep thought as he drove Kiana back to her apartment. Their lunch date ended abruptly when she received a text from Juliana about the Clear cosmetic new product formula and it wasn’t rocket science to know who leaked it when only a handful of people had access to it. “I have to check on something. Stay home in the meantime and don’t let anyone in especially Daniel, Joane will stand guard while I take care of something.”Arthur’s deep voice spoke as he packed the car outside Kiana’s apartment.“What do you mean stand guard? And who is Joane?” Kiana asked as she looked at Arthur but he didn’t respond to her. Instead, he reached over to open the door, his huge frame brushing against her. Kiana’s breath hitched and her heart pounded heavily as his tantalising scent seeped into her nose. He was too close to her…“The door is open Angel, you can open your eyes.” Arthur teased making a blush creep up her cheeks as she released a breath she didn’t know she was holding. “Arthur

Five years later:“I think you just have a problem!” Julina said angrily.“How can I not when you keep finishing the food before it goes where it’s supposed to go?” Caspian shot back.“That's not true!” Juliana defended herself as she looked at Kiana who looked down, she looked at Joane who suddenly wanted to grab her phone.Juliana scoffed in disbelief as she watched her best friends look anywhere but her as if siding with her husband. “I think it’s true but Uncle Caspian doesn’t seem to mind, he loves you!” Natalia said as she grabbed the cookie jar that Juliana was holding onto.They were at Juliana and Caspian’s house where they were celebrating their daughter’s second birthday.

Joane sat at the kitchen table, cradling a steaming mug of coffee in her hands. The aroma filled the room, but she hardly noticed it as her mind wandered. The weight of her sister's illness had been pressing down on her for weeks, making every moment feel like an eternity. She took a sip, as she searched for any donor on the website that Angela had told her about.Her phone buzzed on the table, jolting her out of her thoughts. She picked it up, seeing the name "Agness" flash on the screen. Her heart skipped a beat as she answered the call."Hello?" Joane's voice was shaky.For the past two weeks, that was the case with Natalie, she was getting worse and they were running out of time. Every time her phone rang and it showed “Agness” Joane would hold her breath in the hope that it wasn’t news of her sister’s death."Joane, it's Agness. You need to come to the hospital immediately. Natalia's condition has worsened, this might be her last few moments. You can come and say your goodbye.” S

Two weeks had passed and Nikolai had been taking Joane to see a psychologist to help her ease her trauma and that helped her get better.The guilt over John's death was still there but she felt better when his mother visited her and told her it wasn't her fault. She hugged her and they cried together that day. After Isabella’s arrest, Joane had visited her discreetly and injected her with slow poison, seeing Isabella in tears and begging for her life made her feel better about her child and John, someone she loved like family who were unjustly taken away from her. It somehow made her feel like they were avenged. Even though it would never feel the void, knowing justice was served made it easier to live with. *******Nikolai had decided to take Joane out for some air and they were on a yacht.

The Cold-hearted CEO's Secret love: My reborn Wife Chapter 96 ~ Finally Over!
The moment that Nikolai packed his car, he saw Isabella from his rearview mirror and informed Arthur to be on stand-by. When he stepped out and she asked him to throw the phone in the water, he pressed the SOS button to inform Arthur of how serious the situation had turned out to be.Arthur took the signal and with the help of Kayden’s great hacking ability, he was able to find Isabella’s car through every street camera. When they drove to their destination, Cade tagged along to help Arthur because he too had been searching for Isabella over the crimes she had done with Annabel.Nikolai’s pulse raced as the sound of sirens grew louder, the distant wail piercing through the tense atmosphere. Isabella's eyes darted around in a mix of panic and fury. Her henchmen exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of their next move.“Damn it,” Isabella hissed again, her grip on the gun tightening. “We need to move. Now!”But when she noticed they were surrounded, she got Confused and was unsure of where
The Cold-hearted CEO's Secret love: My reborn Wife Chapter 95 ~ Feel my pain!
Nikolai’s head throbbed as he slowly regained consciousness. The dull ache intensified with each heartbeat, and he groaned, attempting to move but finding himself restrained. As his vision cleared, he realized he was tied to a chair in a dimly lit warehouse. The air was thick with the smell of dust and oil, and a single, flickering overhead light cast long shadows on the concrete floor.Panic surged through him as he remembered the last thing he heard—Joane’s scream. He struggled against his bindings, feeling the rough ropes cutting into his wrists. Every fiber of his being ached to find her, to ensure she was safe.A soft whimper caught his attention, and his eyes darted around the room. He saw her in the corner, barely illuminated by the weak light. Joane was lying on the cold floor, her hands and feet bound, her face pale and streaked with tears. Anger and fear surged through him, giving him a boost of energy to fight against his restraints.“Joane!” he called out, his voice hoars

“It’s good to see you,” Leo said as Nikolai walked in.He found his mother sitting silently and wondered what made her extra low. Even after what had happened, Marjory wasn't the type not to jump when she saw her son so something felt off and he was going to speak to her,After talking to Leo.“I don’t have much time, so let’s get to the point,” Nikolai said.Leo cleared his throat as he eyed his son. Isabella had not told him what she had done with Joane but only told him to force Nikolai to marry her and because he wanted to be with Katherine, he gladly accepted to do so.“I’ve set the date for you and Isabella. You didn’t break off the engagement publicly as planned so they still think you’re together. This is your chance to make things right.” Leo said but didn’t get a chance to say the next words as Nikolai’s fist met with his cheek and made him stumble backward while grabbing his side of the face in pain.“What the hell!” He shouted.“Nik!” Marjory stood but didn’t even bother t
The Cold-hearted CEO's Secret love: My reborn Wife Chapter 93 ~ Searching
Nikolai paced the length of his office, his phone pressed to his ear. He had been trying to reach Joane for hours, but all his calls had gone unanswered. Worry gnawed at him, each unanswered ring heightening his anxiety.“Does she hate me that much?” He mumbled under his breath.Nikolai didn’t want to call Arthur because he felt like he was already putting his friend in an awkward situation by making him the middleman. He tried to deal with their problem on his own.After trying again, he decided to first reach out to Micheal in case he knew something. Who picked up on the second ring.“Hi.” He answered, “Do you need me for anything?”Nikolai froze for a few seconds. He had been thinking about what he had said to him and a part of him felt guilty because Micheal may not have told him he was his father, but he stood by him through it all, including in moments that he was too ashamed of talking about. Nikolai had a great relationship with Leo but it got stained after the day he caught h

Joane's brow furrowed in confusion. "What plan?"Isabella rolled her eyes, her expression turning cold and irritation evident on her face "Oh, you don’t know anything do you?” But she didn’t wait for a response when she continued while she paced around, "You see, my dear, this all started long before you came into the picture. My father was supposed to take over the Cooper Group. It was his birthright, and my birthright was to Marry Nikolai so we could be reunited as a family. Then you came along and ruined everything!"Joane struggled against her bindings, trying to understand what she had just heard but it wasn’t making any sense to her, having slept in a chair didn't help her body ache either but she remained focused on getting the confession out of Isabella, "Your father? What does he have to do with this? And how is marriage a birthright?" She half laughed at how ridiculous Isabella sounded. "Leo Cooper is my father. You dumb ass, and Nikolai is my soulmate. His purpose is t
