FRACTURED VOW

FRACTURED VOW

Ava Collins believes she has the perfect life in New York—a loving marriage and a successful husband, Ethan Walker, a polished corporate strategist. But everything shatters when she receives a message: “Ask him about the Brooklyn apartment.” What begins as suspicion quickly unravels into a web of secrets. Ava discovers Ethan is not who he claims to be. Behind his calm exterior lies a double life filled with hidden financial dealings, a secret apartment, and a second phone he never meant her to find. With the help of Daniel, a man tied to Ethan’s hidden world, Ava is pulled deeper into a dangerous truth. Each answer raises more questions, blurring the line between protection and betrayal. The final blow comes when Ava realizes Ethan isn’t only a fraudster—he is also cheating on her with another woman, proving their marriage was never what she believed.

Chapter: CHAPTER 64: THE CHOICE
Genesis screamed.Not an alarm.Not a machine.A scream.It came from every wall, every screen, every chamber.Ava covered her ears."What is happening?"Ethan stared at her glowing palm."You're overriding it.""How?""I don't know."Elias smiled."I do."Ava turned toward him."Then tell me.""You finally stopped playing by its rules."The countdown on the screens accelerated.02:0001:5901:58Ethan moved toward the central console."We need to shut the system down."Ava stopped him."No."He looked at her."No?""If we shut it down, what happens to everyone connected to it?"Ethan's expression changed."They die.""Exactly."Ava looked around the laboratory.Hundreds of chambers.Hundreds of people.Some were still alive.Some were barely breathing.She couldn't destroy Genesis.Not like this.Elara stepped forward."Then what will you do?"Ava looked at her."Free them."Elara laughed."You can't.""Watch me."Ava placed her glowing palm against the Genesis Core.The moment she t

Chapter: CHAPTER 63: THE ORIGINAL
The figure stepped into the light.Ava's breath caught.He looked exactly like Ethan.Not similar.Not close.Exactly.Same height.Same dark hair.Same sharp jaw.Same eyes.Except there was something different about him.His eyes were completely black.He smiled."Hello, Ethan."Ethan didn't answer.Ava tightened her grip on his hand."Who is he?"The man looked at her."Surely you know."Ava shook her head."I don't."He smiled."I'm the part of him he buried."Ethan stepped forward."You're not real."The man's smile widened."Neither were they."He gestured toward Lily, Veronica and Ava."And yet here we are."Lily moved closer to Ava."He's lying."The man looked at her."Am I?"Lily's expression changed."You were never supposed to wake up.""Neither were you."Veronica stepped forward."Enough."The man turned toward her."Still pretending you're in control?"Veronica's jaw tightened."You don't control me.""No."He smiled."I created the rules you follow."Ava looked at Etha

Chapter: CHAPTER 62: DADDY
The voice echoed through the darkness."Daddy?"Ava's blood ran cold.Ethan's eyes were wide open.He wasn't looking at Ava.He was staring into the darkness behind her."Did you hear that?" Ava whispered.Ethan didn't answer.The voice came again.Closer this time."Daddy..."Ethan slowly pushed himself upright."No."Ava grabbed his arm."Ethan, what's wrong?"He looked at her.For the first time, she saw genuine terror in his eyes."I killed her."Ava's heart skipped."Who?"He shook his head."I killed her."Jonathan's face turned pale."Ethan..."Ethan looked toward him."You knew."Jonathan swallowed."You weren't supposed to remember.""Who was she?"Jonathan didn't answer.Ava stepped between them."Who was she?"Jonathan looked at Ava."The first."Ava frowned."The first what?""The first thing Ethan created."A metallic sound echoed beneath them.CLANG.CLANG.CLANG.The floor trembled.Lily appeared beside Ava."We need to leave."Veronica shook her head."It's too late."

Chapter: CHAPTER 61: THE MAN BEHIND THE SYSTEM
The word remained on every screen.ETHAN.Ava stared at it.Then she looked at him."No."Ethan didn't move.His face had gone completely still."Ava...""No."She stepped backward."You said his name."The woman who called herself Architect Zero smiled."I did."Ava shook her head."You said Ethan was the enemy.""I said the answer was Ethan.""That's not the same thing.""No."Architect Zero's smile widened."It is worse."Ethan finally looked at her."What do you want?"The woman laughed softly."Still pretending?""Answer me.""You really don't remember.""Remember what?""Building us."Ava's eyes widened.Ethan looked confused."I never built anything."Architect Zero walked closer."You didn't build us with your hands."She touched the side of her head."You built us here."Silence.Jonathan suddenly rushed toward the control panel."Ethan, don't listen to her."Ethan turned."Why?"Jonathan froze."Because she's trying to manipulate you.""Then tell me what she's lying about."

Chapter: CHAPTER 60: THE FOURTH ARCHITECT
The room went completely silent.Not peaceful.Not calm.Silent in the way a graveyard was silent before something crawled out of the ground.Ava's body remained suspended in the center of the chamber.Her head hung forward.Her hair covered half of her face.Energy moved beneath her skin like lightning trapped inside a human body.Ethan didn't move.He lay several feet away, his body unnaturally still."Ethan!"Ava tried to scream.But the voice that came from her mouth wasn't hers.It was Veronica's.Jonathan stepped backward.For the first time since Ava had known him, fear completely erased the confidence from his face."No," he whispered.The screens surrounding them flickered.One by one, they displayed the same message.SYSTEM REBIRTH: 72%Then,ARCHITECT COUNT: 4Jonathan stared."Genesis," he whispered.The word seemed to shake the entire room."What have you done?"A low laugh came from Ava's body.Veronica's laugh."You asked for an Architect."The lights went out.Then cam

Chapter: CHAPTER 59: THE VOICE OF THE PAST
“Hello, Father.”The voice that came from Ava's mouth was soft.Too soft.Jonathan froze.For several seconds, he simply stared at her.His daughter stood only a few feet away, but the woman looking at him no longer seemed like Ava.Her posture was different.Her expression was different.Even the way she breathed was different.Jonathan's face drained of color.“No.”Ava tilted her head.“Still afraid of me, Father?”Jonathan stumbled backward.“You can't be here.”A faint smile touched Ava's lips.“You said that twenty years ago.”Ethan immediately moved in front of Ava.“Get away from her.”Ava's eyes shifted toward him.Green.But there was something cold behind them.Something Ethan had never seen before.She smiled.“Ethan.”His jaw tightened.“How do you know my name?”“I know everything.”Her voice changed slightly.For one brief second, Ethan heard Ava's voice.“Ethan…”His heart jumped.“Ava?”Her expression flickered.Her fingers tightened.Then the cold smile returned.“Yo

Chapter: CHAPTER 95: THE BLOODLINE
The screen remained black.No one moved.The words from the final message still echoed in Amelia's mind.DAY NINE HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN.Damian stood in front of the monitor, his expression unreadable.Amelia watched him carefully.She could see the questions forming behind his eyes.Questions about his father.His mother.Samuel.And now...His own identity.Evelyn broke the silence."There's something you need to know before we go any further."Damian turned toward her."What?"Evelyn looked at the photograph lying on the table.The photograph of Damian as a child."I knew your mother."Damian's jaw tightened."You said that already.""No."Evelyn shook her head."I knew her before she married your father."Damian stared at her."How?""She worked with Samuel.""She was part of Project Reunion."Evelyn nodded."Yes."Damian looked down."Then why did nobody tell me?""Because Clara wanted you far away from it.""From what?"Evelyn hesitated."The organization believed your mother had

Chapter: CHAPTER 94: THE SON RETURNS
Don't open that file, Amelia.Amelia's heart slammed against her ribs.Someone was standing beside her.She could feel their presence.She tightened her grip around Damian's hand."Who said that?"No answer.Bennett immediately switched on his flashlight.The beam swept across the room.Evelyn.Noah.Nathan.Sophie.Eleanor.Damian.Adrian.Everyone was there.Everyone except,"Where's Daniel?" Nathan asked.Amelia's blood ran cold.Daniel had been standing near the entrance only moments earlier.Bennett turned toward the doorway."Daniel?"Silence.Then they heard footsteps.Slow.Measured.Coming from the corridor.Everyone raised their weapons.A shadow appeared.Daniel stepped into the room.His face was pale.His hands were raised."Don't shoot."Bennett lowered his weapon slightly."Where were you?"Daniel looked around."I heard something outside.""What?""A door closing."Nathan frowned."Which door?"Daniel hesitated."The old medical wing."Noah's expression changed."The m

Chapter: CHAPTER 93: THE THIRD RECORD
The baby's cry echoed through the underground chamber.Once.Then again.Amelia stood frozen.Her heart pounded so violently that she could barely breathe."That isn't possible," Nathan whispered.Bennett immediately raised his flashlight."Everyone stay together."Damian moved closer to Amelia."Don't go anywhere alone."Noah stared at the floor.His face had gone pale."I've heard that sound before."Amelia looked at him."When?"He shook his head."I don't know."Another cry echoed beneath them.This time, it sounded weaker.Amelia's hand instinctively moved toward her stomach."Someone is down there."Eleanor stepped forward."No."Everyone turned toward her.Eleanor's expression was tense."That's not a child."Amelia frowned."Then what is it?"Eleanor looked toward the steel case."A recording."The room fell silent.Bennett immediately examined the walls."An audio system?"Eleanor nodded."Samuel installed one.""Why?""To make sure whoever entered this room would hear it."N

Chapter: CHAPTER 92: THE LAST SECRET
"Sophie!"Amelia ran into the hallway.Damian caught up with her."Amelia, wait!""She was right there!""I know.""They took her!"Bennett and Nathan were already searching the corridor.Every door stood open.Every room was empty.No footsteps.No struggle.No sign of Sophie.Amelia's breathing became frantic."How could someone take her without anyone seeing?"Bennett crouched beside the floor."Because they didn't."Amelia frowned."What?""There are no footprints."Nathan looked toward the windows."They didn't leave through here."Noah suddenly turned toward the library."Then she never left."Everyone looked at him."What do you mean?" Damian asked.Noah pointed toward the wall."There's another passage."Bennett's eyes narrowed."Where?"Noah walked toward one of the bookshelves."The estate was built with hidden passages everywhere."He pressed his palm against the wooden frame.Nothing happened.He tried another section.Still nothing.Then Amelia noticed something."Wait."
