All Chapters of The Bride They Sacrificed: Reborn To Love And Kill: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

The excitement inside the Vaughn household rose quickly, spreading through the house like an electrical current that refused to settle. What had begun as stunned disbelief slowly transformed into restless, almost frantic energy that filled every corner of the living room. Marjorie, in particular, looked as though she had just received the most extraordinary news of her life. She moved back and forth across the room with hurried steps, her hands fluttering in the air as if she could barely contain the rush of thoughts flooding her mind. Her imagination had already leapt far beyond the reality of the situation. In her mind, the Vaughn family was no longer trapped in financial uncertainty or struggling to keep their failing business afloat. The endless worries about shrinking contracts, unstable investments, and unpaid bills had all vanished in an instant. Everything had changed. All because of Elara. Or more precisely, because of the man Elara had married. Just thinking t

The sterile scent of antiseptic clung thickly to the air the moment the hospital’s glass doors slid open with a soft mechanical hiss, ushering the Vaughn family into a space that felt unnaturally still, cold, restrained, and suffocatingly quiet in a way that contrasted too sharply with the storm of greed, urgency, and unspoken schemes brewing beneath their composed exteriors. Their footsteps echoed against floors, each step deliberate, synchronized, carrying with it a tension that drew fleeting glances from nearby nurses, glances that were quickly averted, professionalism masking curiosity, though not entirely concealing the unease that trailed behind the family like a shadow. They did not belong in a place like this, not with those expressions, not with those intentions, and by the time they reached the reception desk, a nurse was already waiting, her polite smile perfect yet distant as she informed them that Lucian had left instructions and that they were to follow her. "Mr. Ha

The silence that followed was deafening. No... this was the kind that came before something worse, something inevitable, something irreversible.It felt heavy, almost suffocating, like it was pressing down on everyone at once. It was hard to breathe, hard to think, as if even the smallest movement might break something fragile and dangerous.No one moved or spoke. Because the man standing there had just made one thing painfully clear... there was a line, and he had drawn it himself. And everyone in that room knew, without a doubt, that crossing it would come with consequences.Lucian stepped a few steps away from Aaron Close enough that his presence dominated the space entirely, far too close for Aaron to pretend there was any escape left to him. Aaron remained on the floor, his palm pressed weakly against the cold surface beneath him as though it were the only thing anchoring him to reality, his fingers trembling despite his effort to steady them. His mind lagged behind the mom

“You don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said finally, quieter now, but no less strained. “You think you can just walk in and understand everything? You think you know her better than I do? I grew up with her! I've been with her throughout her life! You are just a stranger.” Lucian’s expression didn’t change. It was as if whatever that Aaron did couldn't get to him. “I don’t need to know her better than you did,” he replied. Another step forward. Now there was barely any space left between them. “I just need to know that I would never treat her the way you did.” That... That hit. Not like a blow. Like a truth Aaron couldn’t dodge. “You don’t know what I did,” he said, but his voice had dropped, lost its earlier force, like even he wasn’t entirely convinced anymore. Lucian tilted his head slightly, studying him, not with anger, not with hatred, but with something far more cutting. Like... Aaron was a nobody. “I know enough.” He said. Aaron’s hands curled into fists, his

But then... “You were part of this family!” he barked, his composure cracking over and over as he tried to rein in his impulse. “You lived under our roof—” “As what?” she fired back instantly. That question hung in the air like a blade, making Aaron falter. She was right. How was she under their roof? Elara’s lips curved into something bitter. “Say it,” she challenged. “Go on, don't keep me in suspense.” Aaron said nothing. Because he couldn’t. There was no true answer to her question. “Exactly,” Elara said. Her gaze shifted briefly, sweeping over the others... the so-called family she once belonged to. “I was never your daughter,” she continued, her voice quieter now but filled with something far more cutting than anger. “I was the adopted one. The extra. The one you tolerated until your real daughter came back.” Evelyn stiffened and her eyes instantly shifted towards Lucian. Marjorie’s lips parted. “Elara, that’s not...” “Don’t,” Elara snapped, her eyes flashing. “Don’t
