Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband by Isabella Reed

Chapter 102

4 Preaths

In a secluded corner of the bustling town stood an opulent mansion, its grandeur starkly contrasting with the quiet surroundings. The estate exuded an air of regal magnificence, with its tall gates and immaculate gardens. Inside the mansion, the ambiance was equally lavish. A spacious bedroom, adorned with rich drapes and ornate furnishings, framed a man standing by a floor–length window.

The figure at the window was strikingly handsome, as though sculpted with divine precision. His slicked- back brown hair gleamed faintly under the dim light, and his dark grey eyes, sharp and enigmatic, seemed to pierce through the night. His aura was a blend of allure and intimidation–irresistibly magnetic yet undeniably dangerous. Women who encountered him often found themselves unable to look away, captivated by his presence.

As he gazed at the star–studded sky, a sly smile played on his lips. It was the smile of a man who had been waiting, biding his time.

“Finally, I’m back.”

A knock on the door disrupted his thoughts. Without turning, he commanded, “Come in.”

The door creaked open, and a man entered, walking purposefully toward the window. His demeanor suggested he was no ordinary subordinate–he was someone trusted, perhaps even vital.

“Boss,” the man said, his tone respectful yet firm, “what are your orders?”

The man at the window finally turned to face him, his grey eyes glinting with malice. A low chuckle escaped his lips. “After all these years, I’ve returned. And what’s a return without a grand entrance? Let’s start with Ethan.

“Understood, Boss,” the subordinate replied with a nod.

“But,” the man added with a menacing grin, “make sure he doesn’t die. Not yet.”

“Of course,” the subordinate acknowledged, bowing slightly before exiting the room.

Left alone, the man’s smile widened into a sinister laugh. “I hope you enjoy the gift, Ethan,” he murmured to himself.

His gaze returned to the vast sky, now gleaming with a cold determination. The three great families… your reign is over. This time, I will take back everything you stole from me. Piece by piece, I will unravel your lives. Starting with you, my dear “friend.”
