What happens when she finds herself having feelings she shouldn’t despite his loyalty to another and tries to get closer to the man behind the mask?

Chapter: Chapter 151 The darkness had no beginning and no end. Sometimes, Elara thought she was standing in a long corridor with white walls and bright lights. Other times, she was back in the room where Vivienne had kept her prisoner, listening to the woman explain how her unborn child would change everything. No matter where the dreams took her, they always ended the same way. She tried to run; she tried to reach someone, but she could never get there in time. “Cassian!” Her voice echoed through the darkness. She ran through the corridor, one hand pressed against her stomach. Her feet felt heavy, as though invisible hands were dragging her backward. “Cassian, where are you?” A door stood at the end of the corridor. She reached for the handle, but it wouldn’t turn then Vivienne appeared behind her. “You should have stayed where you belonged,” the older woman said coldly. “You have no idea what you have done.” Elara spun around. “Where is my husband?” Vivienne smiled. “He sacrificed everything fo

Chapter: Chapter 150 The first month passed without Elara opening her eyes, then the second. Cassian learned to measure time by the small changes in her hospital room. The flowers Tony replaced every Monday. The doctors’ visits that always ended with the same careful assurances, the sound of the monitor beside her bed, reminding him that her heart was still beating and the steady heartbeat of the child growing inside her. That was what kept him going. Every morning, Cassian woke in the chair beside Elara’s bed, his back aching and his injured body protesting the hours he spent there. He would wash, change into fresh clothes, and review the reports Tony brought before the doctors began their rounds. By midday, he was usually in a meeting. By evening, he was back beside his wife. He had built an empire by teaching himself never to waste a second. Now he spent hours watching Elara breathe, as if the world could wait until she opened her eyes, and the world did wait. At least, the part that wanted somet

Chapter: Chapter 149 The ruins of Helix stood behind a security perimeter, surrounded by investigators, engineers, and emergency personnel. Cassian watched from the back seat of his car as workers carried sealed evidence containers away from the damaged facility. The search for Vivienne had been suspended until the structure could be stabilized. No one had confirmed her death officially, but the chances of finding her alive were almost nonexistent. He had spent the previous night in the hospital receiving treatment for his injuries and exhaustion. The doctors had wanted to keep him under observation, but he had insisted on returning to the site once he was stable enough. There was still work to do. Helix had been destroyed, but that did not mean Aegis was finished, not while its research existed in recoverable systems. “Sir,” Tony said from the front seat, “the investigators are ready for you.” Cassian opened the door and stepped out carefully, leaning on his cane. “Let's finish this.” The surviving

Chapter: Chapter 148 The alarm screamed through the facility; red lights flashed along the corridor as the emergency system continued its countdown. Vivienne remained beside the console, staring at the screens. “Move!” Cassian ordered. She barely glanced at him. “The core is still accessible. If I can restore the primary controls, I can stop the shutdown.” “You just told me the protocol was automatic.” “There has to be a way around it.” “Vivienne!” She turned sharply. “Don't stand there shouting at me! Help me!” Cassian stared at her in disbelief. Even now, with the facility threatening to collapse around them, she believed the answer was to save Helix. The only thing she cared about was Helix. He grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the console. “We're leaving. Now.” She fought him. “You don't understand! Everything I've sacrificed is in this facility!” “No. Everything you've destroyed is in this facility.” Her face twisted with fury. “You think you can walk away from this and pretend y

Chapter: Chapter 147 The last time Cassian Rooke entered Helix, he had been a prisoner. This time, he returned as the man to destroy it. Black vehicles stopped outside the facility shortly after midnight. Security personnel moved into position while investigators and technical specialists prepared to secure the remaining servers and retrieve the evidence Cassian had uncovered. The compound looked different from the last time he had seen it, but Helix was not dead. Not yet. A section of the facility still operated on an independent power supply. The investigators discovered encrypted transmissions from its servers, suggesting someone inside continued accessing the system even after the main network was compromised. Cassian knew who that someone was. Vivienne. She would not surrender simply because the world had begun to close in around her. “Sir,” Tony said beside him, “the technical team has confirmed activity in the lower laboratory. The remaining system appears to be isolated from the main network

Chapter: Chapter 146“Take your hand away from my wife.” Melissa froze.The voice was quiet, but it was the last voice she wanted to hear. She turned slowly. Cassian Rooke stood in the doorway, one hand gripping his cane, his scarred face cold with fury, and he had seen everything.Melissa stood beside Elara's bed, her hand suspended dangerously close to the medical equipment. Cassian remained in the doorway, gripping his cane, his face stripped of warmth.“Step away from her.”Melissa's hand dropped immediately. “C..Cassian.” She turned toward him, her face paling. “I—I wasn't doing anything.”He entered the room, closing the door behind him. “Really?”His voice was so calm that it frightened her more than shouting would have.“I…I came to visit my sister, that's all.” Melissa glanced at Elara, then back at him. “I…I w…wanted to make peace with her. You have to believe me.”Cassian looked at the flowers on the table, then at the medical equipment she had been reaching toward.“Is that why your hand was h
