Chapter: CHAPTER 30"The nurse was murdered twenty minutes ago."The words hit the room like an explosion.Everything stopped.Julian stood frozen near the penthouse door.His phone still pressed against his ear.His knuckles white.His expression hollow.For a moment, nobody spoke.Nobody moved.The rain hammered against the floor-to-ceiling windows.A relentless rhythm that somehow made the silence feel even heavier.Dani stared at him.Hoping she'd heard wrong.Praying she'd misunderstood.But one look at Julian's face told her the truth.The nurse was dead.Really dead this time.The final witness.The woman who had been there.The woman who knew what happened.The woman who could have explained everything.Gone.Again, they had been too late.Again, someone had gotten there first.

Chapter: CHAPTER 29The results were stolen.For a moment, Dani thought she had misheard him.The city noise faded.The wind disappeared.Even the distant sounds of traffic seemed to vanish.There was only Julian.And those four devastating words.The results were stolen.Her hand instinctively moved to her stomach.Fear twisted inside her chest.Because suddenly the anonymous message from earlier felt much more dangerous.Not Julian's baby.Whoever had sent it had known something.Or wanted them to believe they did.Either possibility was terrifying."What do you mean stolen?"Her voice sounded thin.Barely recognizable.Julian's expression remained grim."The lab was breached."The answer did nothing to calm her."In person?""I don't know yet."The fact that he didn't know was almost wo

Chapter: CHAPTER 28Not Julian’s baby.The words glowed on Dani’s screen.Bright.Cold.Impossible.For a moment, she forgot how to breathe.The penthouse disappeared around her.The conspiracy.The murders.The switched babies.Elena Cross.The living nurse.Everything faded behind those three devastating words.Not Julian’s baby.Her hand instinctively moved to her stomach.A protective gesture.A frightened gesture.A furious gesture.Because whoever had sent the message had crossed a line.A dangerous line.Julian saw it immediately.The change in her expression.The tension in her body.The fear.“What is it?”His voice sounded sharp.Controlled.Dani couldn't answer.Not right away.Because if she said the words aloud, they would

Chapter: CHAPTER 27Elena Cross was holding a gun.Every screen in the penthouse displayed the same image.A live surveillance feed.A hospital corridor.Room 214.Present day.Not twenty-eight years ago.Not an archived recording.Now.The timestamp in the corner updated every second.Proof.Terrifying proof.Dani stared at the screen.Unable to look away.The woman who had supposedly died nearly three decades ago stood beneath the fluorescent hospital lights.Older.Grayer.But unmistakably the same woman from the photographs.The same woman Thomas Reed had been investigating.The same woman connected to the switched babies.And she was armed.Nobody spoke.Nobody moved.The room had become frozen.Locked in collective disbelief.Then Stella whispered:"Oh God.

Chapter: CHAPTER 26Three remain.One dies tomorrow.Choose carefully.The words seemed to burn themselves into Dani's mind.She stared at the paper.Read it once.Twice.Three times.Hoping the message would somehow change.It didn't.The list remained exactly the same.Julian Carter Vance.Stella Carter Vance.Elena Cross.Daniella Mitchell.Four names.Yet the note claimed three would remain.Meaning one of them was marked for death.Within twenty-four hours.A cold sweat broke across Dani's skin.For the first time since this nightmare began, the danger felt immediate.Personal.No more anonymous texts.No more mysterious photographs.No more decades-old secrets.Someone was threatening murder.Again.And this time, her name was on the list.---The underground garage had become absolute chaos.Police officers swarmed the crime scene.Detectives barked orders.Evidence teams photographed everything.Yet Dani barely noticed.Her gaze remained fixed on the page.On her own name.A name that absolutely

Chapter: CHAPTER 25Thomas Reed was alive.For a moment, Dani genuinely thought she was hallucinating.The penthouse seemed to tilt beneath her feet.The photograph on Julian's phone remained frozen on the screen.Clear.Sharp.Undeniable.An older woman exiting a black SUV.And beside her—Thomas Reed.Very much alive.Very much breathing.Very much not dead.Silence swallowed the room.Nobody moved.Nobody blinked.Nobody spoke.Because there was no logical explanation.Thomas Reed died three years ago.There had been a funeral.A death certificate.An investigation.A burial.People didn't come back from that.Yet the photograph existed.And the image looked recent.Painfully recent.The anonymous caller had made sure of that.Finally, Stella
