Chasing his billionaire ex wife Chapter 26 : The woman he never knew
Elara did not go back to the lab the morning.She went to the office instead.Not the small control room that is underground.Not the quiet place with screens and wires and people speakingShe went to the floor of Hamilton Global.It has glass walls and a view of the city.It is a place of power.Silas was already waiting for her when she got out of the elevator.He did not say anything.He just handed her a tablet.She read the headline.It said that Voss Logistics is facing a contract suspension from three partners.She did not blink."Good " she said calmly.Ryan was standing a steps behind her.He was still wearing the shirt he wore yesterday.He looked like a man who did not sleep.He watched her read about his company collapsing.He looked like a person reading about a strangers death.He was not shocked.He was not angry.He just looked empty."Elara..." he started to say.She lifted her hand a little without looking at him.He stopped talking.Silas spoke instead. "Your board

The first alert did not come from a person. It came from a pattern.Silas noticed it before anyone else because he had trained himself to notice what did not belong. The lab was quiet in the late afternoon, Chloe sketching absent shapes on a notepad while Elara reviewed old logs from a decade ago. Ryan stood by the glass, phone in hand, pretending to read emails he had already read twice.Silas’s screen blinked once.Then again.A small anomaly in the external network monitor—so small it could be dismissed as noise. Except it wasn’t random. It had rhythm.He leaned closer.“Elara.”She didn’t look up. “Hmm?”“We’ve been pinged.”Her fingers froze on the keyboard.“From where?”“Outside our subnet. Not a breach. A… curiosity.”Ryan turned. “Speak English.”Silas rotated the screen toward them. A faint, repeated handshake attempt appeared on the log. Not aggressive. Not malicious. Just persistent.Like someone knocking gently on a locked door to see if anyone was home.Elara stood slowl
Chasing his billionaire ex wife Chapter 24 : Project Aura
The morning did not bring Elara any relief. It only made things clearer.Elara was alone in the lab. Nobody else was there yet. The screen in front of her was dark. The system behind it was working. She could feel it like an inventor feels the hum of something they made themselves.This feeling was familiar to Elara. She had not felt it in eight years.Then she heard footsteps behind her. Silas came into the lab holding a black tablet. He looked very serious.“Elara " he said quietly "we need to talk before Chloe gets here.”Elara did not turn around. "You found something " she said.Silas said, "Yes.”There was a pause.Then Silas said something that made Elaras chest feel tight.“This is contact " he said.Elara slowly turned to face him.Silas put the tablet on the table. Showed some old files from Hamilton Global. These files were from ten years ago.A name appeared on the screen: PROJECT AURA. Neural Adaptive Learning System.Elara let out a breath.“No " she said softly.Silas n
Chasing his billionaire ex wife Chapter 23 : The Rules Of Contact
The morning was really calm. There were no alarms or people running around. It was just quiet. The sun was shining through the blinds. The machines were humming along quietly. Elara was standing by the window in the observation room watching Chloe sleep in a chair. Chloe had refused to leave that chair. Silas was sitting at a table looking at some logs on a tablet. Ryan was sitting on the floor with his elbows on his knees staring at the ground. He looked like he was trying to understand something that was really hard to understand.Elara spoke up breaking the silence. "We need to make some rules before we do anything."Silas nodded in agreement. "I think that's an idea."Ryan looked up at them. "What kind of rules are we talking about?"Elara said, "Rules for when we talk to them. If we're going to do this we need to be in control. We need to set time limits and make sure we're monitoring everything. We need to have doctors watching too.. We can't just make things up as we go along."
Chasing his billionaire ex wife Chapter 22 : What they Wanted
The room was quiet except for the hum of the machines. There were no noises, no chaos, just a soft glow from the screen and the sound of Chloe breathing in and out. Elara stood next to her daughter with one hand on Chloes shoulder and the other hand on the edge of the console like it could help her stay steady.Elara had said, "I'm listening."Nothing big happened.There was no light, no shaking floor, no dark figures.The pattern on the screen started to change. The circles Chloe had drawn began to turn into lines and shapes that looked like a language trying to make sense. Silas leaned in closer his eyes wide open. He started recording everything that was happening.Ryan stood a steps back watching like a man who had walked into a place he did not understand and could not control. For the time in his life he did not try to interrupt. He just watched Elara and Chloe.Chloe spoke in a voice like someone talking about a dream they just had. "They are trying to make it easier for us to
Chasing his billionaire ex wife Chapter 21 : The Choice
Elara did not sleep that night. She sat by Chloe’s bed watching her daughter breathe like a kid.. Nothing about this was normal anymore. The machines were off. The servers were cold. The Door project was gone, at least in the building.. The screen still showed a steady pulse. The link had not ended. It had just moved.. It had picked Chloe.Chloe slept calmly. Every few minutes her fingers moved, like she was reacting to something no one could see. Elara held her hand. Whispered softly even though Chloe could not hear her. She was not trying to calm Chloe. She was trying to calm herself.Across the room Silas stood with a tablet looking at readings that made no sense. Chloe’s brain waves matched the part of the Door system. The same waves that showed up when the "figures" crossed over. The same waves that made bullets pass through shadows.Ryan stood by the window quiet. He had never felt so useless. He always fixed things with money, power or a loud voice. None of that worked here. Th
