Reborn to Divorce My Ice-Cold Husband

"Even if you begged on your knees, naked and weeping, I would never lay a hand on you!"

That icy, contemptuous voice sliced through the air, piercing straight into my soul.

It was him. Alexander Valois. The man who wished I were dead.

My eyes flew open, a storm of shock, fury, and utter bewilderment raging within them.

"The day we married, I made it clear. My study is forbidden to you. You have violated that rule."

His words were sharp, his handsome face etched with unmistakable impatience. His gaze swept over my prone form on the floor, and he bit out, "Are you incapable of hearing? Get out. Immediately."

I finally stirred.

Pushing myself up from the cold hardwood, I glanced at his imposing figure. Then, I turned my head away and retched violently.

The sound of my dry heaving was the only reply he received.

Alexander's expression turned thunderous.

"If you must be sick, do it in your own quarters. Do not defile my space with your filth!"

I paid no heed to his venomous words. Clamping a hand over my mouth, I fled the room, rushing back down the hall to my own.

The moment the door clicked shut behind me, the nausea subsided slightly.

I leaned back against the solid wood, breathing heavily, my heart hammering against my ribs. After a moment, I stumbled toward the full-length mirror.

A youthful, unblemished face stared back at me. My breath hitched. My pulse skyrocketed.

My suspicion was confirmed.

I had been reborn.

I was back. Four years in the past. To this very night—the night I had crept into Alexander's private study wearing nothing but a scandalously sheer negligee, attempting a pathetic seduction.

If only I had returned just one day sooner… that humiliating scene would never have occurred.

The mere memory of having once loved such a cold, cruel man made my stomach twist again.

But a wave of grim satisfaction followed. Soon. Very soon, I would finally be free of him. The divorce would be mine.

Suddenly, the powerful roar of a car engine shattered the night's silence outside the window.
