The echo of the child’s cry lingered in Rowan’s mind long after the call ended.

It wasn’t loud.

It wasn’t dramatic.

But it was intentional.

Calculated.

Cruel.

Amara watched Rowan’s face carefully, her chest tightening as dread slowly replaced confusion.

“That wasn’t random, was it?” she asked softly.

Rowan shook his head once.

“No.”

Amara swallowed, fear threading through her voice. “Do you know whose child that was?”

Rowan’s fingers curled around his phone.

“That’s what scares me.”

  • Divorced while carrying his secret    Chapter 73: The judge of Helios

    “My name is Marcus Voss,” the man said calmly.He straightened his suit with quiet precision.“I represent the Helios Executive Council.”The garage felt colder somehow.Elena studied him.Marcus Voss didn’t look like a soldier or an enforcer.He looked like a banker.Quiet. Controlled. Dangerous in a way that didn’t need weapons.Lucian leaned closer to Rowan.“I don’t like him already.”Rowan didn’t answer.Marcus’s eyes moved across the group.Rowan.Lucian.Cassandra.Victor.Finally settling on Elena again.“You have activated the Helios master authorization.”Elena nodded slowly.“Yes.”Marcus spoke as if reading a report.“The system has recognized you as Primary Controller.”Victor folded his arms.“That’s a mistake.”Marcus didn’t even look at him.“The system does not make mistakes.”Lucian smiled faintly.“That’s debatable.”Marcus ignored the comment.He looked at Elena.“However… Helios operates under certain governance protocols.”Elena frowned slightly.“What kind of p

    Silence swallowed the underground garage.Every phone screen still glowed with the same message.PRIMARY CONTROLLER IDENTIFIED: ELENA HALELucian slowly lowered his phone.“…Well.”He looked at Elena.“You just became one of the most powerful people on the planet.”Elena stared at the tablet in Cassandra’s hand.Her voice was barely audible.“I didn’t do anything.”Cassandra smiled calmly.“You existed.”Victor’s expression had turned deadly.“You manipulated the system.”Cassandra shrugged.“I protected it.”Rowan stepped forward, placing himself slightly in front of Elena.“What exactly did she just activate?”Lucian answered before Cassandra could.“Helios isn’t just a network.”He lifted his phone again.“It’s a financial command system.”Rowan frowned.“Meaning?”Lucian looked at Elena.“Every hidden investment account inside Helios now answers to you.”Isabella whispered in shock,“That’s… impossible.”Lucian shook his head slowly.“No.”His voice dropped.“That’s hundreds of b

  • Divorced while carrying his secret    Chapter 71: The woman who shouldn't exist

    The underground garage had gone completely silent.Even the Helios agents seemed uncertain now.Victor Hale stared at the woman standing in front of the armored truck.For the first time that night—His composure cracked.“…Cassandra.”The woman smiled faintly.“So you do remember me.”Elena glanced quickly at Rowan.“Who is she?”Rowan’s voice was low.“I don’t know.”Lucian’s eyes narrowed as he studied Victor’s reaction.“But he does.”Victor slowly stepped forward.His gaze had turned cold.“You died twenty years ago.”Cassandra tilted her head slightly.“That was the official story.”Isabella suddenly sucked in a sharp breath.Lucian looked at her immediately.“You know her.”Isabella whispered,“She was Victor’s younger sister.”Elena blinked in shock.“Another Hale?”Lucian muttered under his breath,“This family tree just keeps getting worse.”Victor’s voice hardened.“You were buried.”Cassandra shrugged casually.“Closed casket.”Lucian smirked.“That should have been suspi

    Red emergency lights flashed across the hospital corridors.Alarms screamed through the building.For a moment, everything descended into chaos.“Move!” Rowan ordered.He pulled Elena’s hand while Lucian supported Isabella as they rushed down the hallway.Behind them, angry voices echoed.“They’re heading toward the east wing!”Victor’s calm voice cut through the noise.“Do not lose them.”Lucian muttered under his breath, “That man never raises his voice. It’s unsettling.”Adrian ran ahead, pushing open a heavy service door.“This way!”They rushed inside.The door slammed shut behind them.The space beyond was a narrow maintenance corridor. Pipes lined the ceiling and the air smelled faintly of disinfectant and metal.Isabella was breathing harder now.“I can’t keep this pace.”Elena held her arm tightly.“You’re doing fine.”Lucian glanced back toward the door.“We’ve bought maybe thirty seconds.”Rowan looked at Adrian.“Where does this lead?”Adrian pointed forward.“Service ele

    Lucian was the first to notice the SUVs.He stepped closer to the window and narrowed his eyes.“Well… that didn’t take long.”Rowan moved beside him.Four black SUVs had parked quietly along the hospital entrance.Men in dark suits stepped out.Not police.Not federal agents.They moved with calm precision.Elena felt a knot tighten in her stomach.“Who are they?”Lucian didn’t look away from the window.“If I had to guess…”He exhaled slowly.“Helios.”Adrian stepped forward immediately.“How many?”Lucian counted.“Eight… no, ten.”Rowan’s voice turned sharp.“They’re not here for Victor.”Isabella shook her head weakly.“They’re here for us.”Elena’s chest tightened.“Because we know about the network.”Lucian nodded.“Exactly.”Adrian pulled out his phone.“I’ll call my security team.”Lucian raised an eyebrow.“You think this is something a normal security team can handle?”Adrian didn’t answer.Rowan was already moving toward the door.“We’re leaving.”Elena grabbed his arm.“

    The room fell into a heavy silence.Adrian Vale stood very still.For the first time since he walked into the hospital room, the confidence on his face wavered.Lucian slowly turned toward Isabella.“…You’re serious.”Isabella nodded once.“The accounts Adrian exposed are only the outer layer.”Rowan’s eyes narrowed.“Victor built a decoy system.”“Yes,” Isabella said quietly. “The accounts the investigators found are real, but they’re not the core of the network.”Elena felt a chill.“So Victor let them find those accounts?”Lucian let out a low whistle.“That’s actually brilliant.”Adrian crossed his arms.“You’re suggesting Victor willingly sacrificed billions just to protect the real structure.”Isabella looked directly at him.“Yes.”Lucian muttered under his breath.“That man is terrifying.”Rowan nodded slowly.“Where’s the real money?”Isabella hesitated.Elena noticed immediately.“You know.”Her mother didn’t answer.Rowan stepped closer.“Isabella.”She finally spoke.“I h
