Eventually, Jessica pulled back slightly, her fingers still clutching Romeo's shirt. "What now?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Romeo exhaled slowly. "Now we figure out how to move forward.... together. No more pretending we're okay when we're not. No more running". Jessica nodded, brushing a tear from her cheek. "I'm scared, Romeo". He tilted her chin gently, eyes locking with hers. "So am i. But we've faced worse apart. Let's face this together". She managed a small smile. "Then we start with honesty. Even when it hurts". He nodded. "Even then". They sat down on the couch, the morning light casting a golden hue through the curtains. Jessica pulled her legs up, wrapping her arms around her knees. "

365 Days With My Fake Husband What Remains
They ran until the ground stopped shaking. The corridor twisted downward in long, uneven spirals, emergency lights flickering overhead like dying stars. By the time they reached the far end, the roar of collapsing steel had pulled into distant thunder angry, but fading. Then it stopped. Silence fell like a held breath. Jessica stumbled first, her legs finally giving out. She collapsed against the cold wall, dragging Aurora down with her. Miguel dropped beside them moments later, pulling Romeo down carefully, his back sliding against the metal until he hit the floor. No one spoke. They just breathed. Hard. Ragged. Alive. Claire stood a few steps away, hands braced on her knees, eyes fixed on the dark tunnel behind them as if expecting the ruins to chase them. When nothing happened, when the silence remained intact, she slowly sank to the floor. "It'
365 Days With My Fake Husband The Cycle Breaker
The Director pressed his thumb down.The device in his hand pulse once low, resonant like a heartbeat echoing through the vault.Immediately, alarms screamed to life.Red lights flooded the chamber as the pods along the walls hissed, their seals unlocking in staggered succession. Glass panels slide aside with mechanical precision, releasing clouds of cold vapor that curled along the floor like something alive.Jessica's breath caught. "Aurora...:"I know", Aurora said softly. The first figure stepped out of a pod.Then another. And another. They moved stiffly, as if the concept of motion itself was unfamiliar. Their eyes glowed faintly some blue, some amber, some an unsettling white. Each one bore fragments of humanity stitched together with something else: reinforced spines, synthetic veins, markings etched beneath translucent skin.Claire backed away slowly. "They're like her"."N
365 Days With My Fake Husband Beneath the Ruins
The descent was not a fall it was a controlled surrender. The emergency lift screamed as it dropped through the collapsing shaft, cables snapping above them like gunfire. Dust and debris rained down in choking waves, sparks flashing like dying stars in the dark.Jessica braced herself over Romeo, one arm around his shoulders, the other gripping the rail with white-knuckled desperation. Miguel stood planted beside her, jaw clenched, blood streaking his temple as he fought the violent sway of the lift. Claire crouched low, fingers pressed to the metal floor, whispering something under her breath prayer or memory, no and could tell.Aurora stood upright. Unmoving. Unafraid.Her faint glow pulsed softly, illuminating the cracked walls as the the lift plunged deeper beneath Sector Twelve beneath everything they thought they knew. ThenImpact. The lift slammed into the bottom platform with a thunderous c
365 Days With My Fake Husband The Fall of Sector Twelve
The world came apart behind them.Metal screamed as the ceiling plates tore free, crashing down in violent sucession. The floor titled sharply, throwing Jessica forward as she dragged Romeo with her, every step a fight against gravity and fear. Dust swallowed the corridor, thick and choking, turning the red warning lights into bleeding shadows. Aurora stumbled. Miguel caught her just before she fell, lifting her effortlessly as a section of the wall collapsed where she'd been standing seconds earlier. "THIS WAY!" Claire shouted, pointing toward a narrow passage flickering on her tablet. "Maintenance spine if it's still there!"Jessica's lungs burned. Romeo was dead weight now, his breath shallow, his body trembling as the tremors intensified."I'm slowing you down", he rasped. Jessica didn't even look at him. "Don't you dare".Another explosion rocked the sector. The corridor split open ahead of them, r
365 Days With My Fake Husband When the Silence Break
The metalic corridors vibrated low at first, like distant thunder rolling beneath their feet. Jessica tightened her grip around Romeo's waist as he tried to steady himself, still weak from the extraction but forcing his body not to collapse. Aurora clung to Miguel's sleeve, eyes wide as the distant rumble grew sharper... louder... closer.Claire lifted her tablet, her fingers trembling only slightly. "They shut down the pulse field manually", she muttered. "Which means they're close enough to override our interference".Miguel's jaw locked. "Then we need to move. "Now".But Romeo didn't move. He lifted his head slowly, eyes dark, fury simmering underneath exhaustion. "They dragged me into that chamber for one reason. Not to break me... but to delay me".Jessica swallowed. "Delay you for what?"A sharp metalic clang exploded above them.Then another.And another. Footseps dozens, maybe h
365 Days With My Fake Husband The Chamber of Echoes
The descent felt endless.Jessica's boots hit the steel grate with hollow echoes, each step swallowed by the darkness twisting ahead of them. The air grew colder, denser as if the facilty itself were holding it's breath. Aurora gripped her hand tightly, her small fingers trembling. Miguel walked slightly ahead, weapon drawn, shoulders rigid with a soldier's readiness.Claire moved beside the group, expression unreadable, scanning every shadow.Sector Twelve was not just another another part of the facilty. It was the core. The heart.The place where the Project started....and where it was meant to end.A thin vibration thrummed through the walls a low pulse, almost alive.Jessica's voice cracked the silence. "Claire... what is this place really?"Claire didn't look at her. "A vault. A prison. A testing arena. Depends who you ask".She exhaled, eyes hardening."For Romeo, though... it's a trap".
