Chapter 10: The Sound of Ash

The recorder sat on the table like a live grenade.

I couldn't take my eyes off it. It was a small, sleek piece of tech, but in the dim light of my kitchen, it looked like a monster. My chest felt tight, like someone had wrapped a heavy chain around my ribs and was slowly turning the winch.

Twelve years. For twelve years, I’d told myself my parents died in a tragic, random electrical fire in our cramped South Side apartment. I’d built my entire life on the ashes of that night, telling myself that becoming a doctor was the only way to honor their memory.

And now, Bianca had just dropped a hint that the fire wasn't an accident. That it was "development."

I looked at Caspian. He hadn't moved an inch. He was still standing by the door, the gun hanging limp in his hand. He looked like he was staring at a ghost.

"Caspian," I said. My voice didn't sound like mine. It was thin, brittle, like dry leaves. "Is she lying?"

He didn't look at me. He was staring at

    Chapter 20: The Surgeon of Shadows The world narrowed down to the rhythmic, wet sound of Caspian’s labored breathing and the cold splash of the lagoon against the wooden pilings. The laser dot had vanished, but the silence that followed the gunshot was even more terrifying. It was the silence of a predator repositioning. "Caspian, look at me!" Jade hissed, her hands working with a terrifying efficiency. She ripped open his white shirt, the fabric stained a deep, sickening crimson. The bullet had entered near the sub-clavian artery. If she didn't plug the leak in the next sixty seconds, the "Ice King" would bleed out in the dirt of the Makoko slums. "Go... Jade... run," Caspian wheezed, his face turning a ghostly shade of gray. "Shut up and stay awake," she snapped. Her voice was like a scalpel—cold and sharp. She reached into her medical bag and pulled out a specialized hemostatic powder she had developed in secret—a "by-product" of her mother’s research. She poured it into the

    Chapter 19: The Predator and the Prey The air in the Makoko clinic was thick with the smell of damp earth and old bandages, a far cry from the pressurized, sterile environment of the Caspian villa. Jade sat at a rickety wooden table, the flickering light of a single bulb casting long, dancing shadows against the walls. In front of her lay the photo from the archives and her mother’s notebook. The name Liana burned into her mind like acid. It made sense now. Liana’s professional jealousy wasn't just about surgery; it was about a legacy she had helped steal. But as Jade stared at the photo of the black car with the Caspian crest, a cold shiver raced down her spine. If Liana was the partner, and the Caspians were the muscle, then her marriage wasn't just a business deal—it was a trap set years before she was even born. "They're coming, little doctor," Baba whispered, leaning through the doorway. His eyes were wide with a fear Jade had never seen in him. "Black cars. Men in suits. The

    Chapter 18: The Invisible Strings The afternoon sun hung low over the Lagos skyline, casting long, orange shadows across the villa’s courtyard. Jade stood by the window of her bedroom, watching the three black SUVs idling at the gate. Caspian wasn’t just protecting her; he had turned the villa into a fortress. Every exit was covered. Every servant was an informant. And somewhere in the house, Caspian was watching the monitors, waiting for her to break. He thinks he knows me, Jade thought, her fingers brushing the rough leather of her mother's notebook, which was now tucked into the lining of her medical bag. He thinks I’m a laboratory bird that will sing if he gives me a bigger cage. She spent the next three hours in her private lab, making sure the security cameras saw her working. She moved vials, adjusted the microscope, and scribbled furiously in a decoy journal. She needed him to believe she was obsessed with the formula, too busy to notice the walls closing in. At 7:00 PM,

    Chapter 17: The Glass Walls of Trust The morning after the secret lab visit, the air in the Caspian villa felt like it had been replaced by liquid nitrogen. Jade sat at the massive mahogany dining table, her fingers tracing the rim of an antique porcelain teacup. She hadn't slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she heard Liana’s voice echoing: He hunted you down. She looked at the luxury surrounding her—the gold-leafed ceilings, the silent servants, the security detail at every door. Was this a home, or was it a high-end containment unit for the research Silas had tried to burn? "You're not eating," a deep voice rumbled. Jade didn't look up. She didn't need to. The scent of sandalwood and expensive soap told her Caspian had entered the room. He sat at the head of the table, looking perfectly composed in a charcoal-gray suit, yet there was a new sharpness to his gaze. "I’m not hungry, Caspian," Jade said, her voice sounding thin and brittle to her own ears. "I’m wondering about t

    Chapter 16: The Midnight Laboratory The silence of St. Jude’s Hospital at midnight was an eerie, physical weight. The bustling hallways that had seen Jade’s triumph just hours earlier were now dim, lit only by the flickering blue hum of exit signs and the occasional soft squeak of a janitor’s cart in the distance. Jade moved through the shadows of the North Wing, her heart hammering a frantic rhythm against her ribs. She wasn't here as the celebrated wife of Caspian or the "Genius Doctor" of the Gala. She was here as a thief of time, desperate to prove the secrets hidden within her mother’s scorched notebook. Under her arm, she clutched a small insulated case. Inside was the raw base serum she had prepared in the villa’s basement. She knew she couldn't run the complex molecular sequencing she needed at home; the equipment at St. Jude’s was the only technology in the country capable of verifying her mother’s regenerative protein. Just one hour, she told herself, her breath hitching

    Chapter 13: The Scalpel’s Edge The sterile smell of St. Jude’s Hospital was a sharp contrast to the expensive perfume of the previous night’s Gala. At exactly 8:00 AM, Jade stepped through the sliding glass doors, her emerald gown replaced by crisp, midnight-blue scrubs. She wore her hair pulled back in a tight, professional bun, and her expression was as cool as the marble floors beneath her feet. She didn't have to look for Dr. Liana. The woman was already waiting in the glass-walled observation gallery, surrounded by a group of senior residents and board members. Liana looked down at Jade like a scientist observing a specimen in a lab. "You’re on time," Liana’s voice crackled over the intercom system as Jade entered the scrub room. "I half-expected you to hide behind Caspian’s lawyers this morning." Jade didn't look up as she began the meticulous process of scrubbing her hands and forearms. "Lawyers are for people who can’t defend their own work, Liana. I prefer to let my resu
