Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

After months of trying, Sophie and Colby finally got the exciting news they were expecting a baby, just two months after Alec was born. Sophie was taken by surprise, only realizing she was pregnant when her period was a no-show in the second month. As she stepped out of the hospital, her mind was spinning. Had she really gotten pregnant just six months into her retirement? Reflecting on the recent days of looking after little Alec, Sophie realized that life was about to get a whole lot busier. "Colby, when do you think... this happened?" Sophie asked, still a bit in shock as she slid into the car. Colby seemed lost in thought, mulling over the same puzzle.

"Was it that day in the car?"

"Or maybe on the balcony..."

"Colby!" Sophie's cheeks turned a bright shade of red as she shot him a look. "Just drive!"

Seeing Sophie snap back to her usual self, Colby grinned. "Honey, no matter when this baby came along, it's ours. You can't just deny that."

He said it with a playful whine in his voice, and Sophie gave him a mock glare. "This is all your doing. I wasn't quite ready yet!"

"Sweetheart, how's that fair?" Colby chuckled.

Once Sophie had mentioned wanting a baby, they'd ditched all birth control methods. Neither had expected it to happen so quickly. Clearly, this little one was in a rush to join the party.

Colby drove them back to their place, but with the pregnancy news, they packed up and moved to the Aldridge Estate, which had top-notch medical facilities.

That day, a strange letter showed up

at the Aldridge Estate. Colby and Adler were out shopping for baby supplies, Jenna was upstairs playing with Atec, and Harold was busy at Aldridge Global. The letter ended up in Sophie's hands.

It was an unmarked envelope, but clearly addressed to her. Sophie asked the security guard at the gate, "Did you figure out who sent this?"

"The courier said it was anonymous. It had been sitting at their company for a year, with instructions to deliver it today."

"Really?" Sophie was intrigued, but there was no doubt the letter was meant for her. She settled onto the couch and opened the envelope.

Inside, she found a check, several

bank cards, and a handwritten letter that looked like it had been sitting there for ages. As soon as she saw the neat handwriting, Sophie knew who it was from. en

Dear Sophie,

Though unsigned, I know you'll recognize my handwriting. Sophie, I never regretted meeting you. As I've said before, you're my other half in this world. There was more I never got to say.

I knew how things would end for me. By the time you read this, I'll likely be gone. Please live happily for the both of us. As long as you live, I live through you.noveldrama

The checks and bank cards are my savings from my time at S Corporation. Think of it as a gift for your future little nephew.

Even though Reece was just a fake

identity, it became a part of me, and you became not just my partner, but my only true friend in this world. You were the exception in my life, and you changed my perspective on everything.

I no longer wish to bring this world down, because it's a world with you in it-my best and only confidant.
