Dumped By The Alpha, I Married His Stepbrother Chapter 92
"How to reverse it."I stared at the folder in Marcus's hands, exhaustion warring against a sudden, sharp surge of hope."You're certain that's what it says," Lucien asked, taking it carefully from Marcus, turning it over in his hands as though the paper itself might dissolve under too much scrutiny."The label, yes," Marcus said. "I haven't opened it beyond confirming the title page. I wanted Doctor Anwei present before anyone read further, given everything that happened the last time information from this family arrived unexamined.""Wise," Doctor Anwei said, moving to clear a space on her desk. "Let's look together."She opened the folder carefully, the pages inside yellowed with age but remarkably intact, Cornelius's precise, cramped handwriting filling page after page with diagrams and notations that meant little to me but drew a low, focused breath from Doctor Anwei as she scanned them."This is decades of work," she said s

"Permanently."The word landed heavier than the collapsed compound behind us."What does that actually mean," I asked, forcing my voice steady despite the exhaustion still dragging at every limb. "Permanently how.""She's still analyzing," Marcus said, reading further down the message. "But she says early indicators suggest your body has begun producing the resistance marker naturally now, rather than simply carrying it as a fixed trait from birth. It's replicating, spreading, integrating into new cells as they form.""That sounds like an infection," Isolde said, alarm sharpening her voice."Or it sounds like evolution," Chloe said quietly, still sitting a short distance away. "Forced, violent, unwanted, but evolution nonetheless.""I don't want to evolve into something Cornelius designed," I said, my voice cracking despite my effort to hold it steady. "I want to be exactly who I was before he ever touched me."Lucien's

The groan beneath the floor deepened into something like a roar, and dust showered down harder from the ceiling above."What's happening down there," Marcus shouted, scrambling to his feet despite the shaking floor."I don't know," Cornelius said, and for the first time since we'd arrived, genuine fear cracked through his ancient composure. "This facility was built over an old fault line. I always believed it was stable.""Believed," Isolde repeated, disbelief sharp in her voice. "You've believed a great many things today that turned out to be wrong."The stabilizing agent burned through my veins, spreading warmth from my arm outward in slow, deliberate pulses, and I felt the pressure beneath my skin ease by fractions, the gold bleeding back out of my vision, though exhaustion crashed over me in its place with a weight that made my head swim."It's working," Lucien said, relief flooding his voice as he studied my face. "Elena, can you stand.""I think so," I said, though my legs still

My own eyes stared back at me, wrong in a way that made my chest seize with something colder than fear. "Lucien," I said, my voice sounding distant even to myself. "My eyes." "I see them," he said, holding my face steady between his hands, his own expression carrying a terror I'd rarely seen from him. "Stay with me. Whatever's happening, stay with me." Cornelius pushed himself upright from the floor, his exhaustion visible but his attention locked entirely on me, something between horror and fascination twisting his ancient features. "That's not supposed to happen this fast," he said, almost to himself. "The reaction should take hours, days even, not minutes." "What did you give her," Isolde demanded, gripping my shoulder as Lucien and Marcus helped lower me carefully against the wall. "A concentrated extraction compound," Cornelius said, his voice unsteady now. "Designed to draw out and isolate the specific genetic markers I required. It was never meant for direct injection in

"A failsafe."The hum grew louder, vibrating faintly through the floor beneath us, and every instinct in my body screamed to move, though toward what, I couldn't yet tell."Explain," Lucien demanded, stepping protectively in front of me."It's simple, really," Cornelius said, his composure fraying at the edges now, something almost manic creeping into his ancient voice. "A compound, aerosolized, released throughout the ventilation system. It will draw out and extract the specific markers I require from whoever carries them, regardless of consent.""You'll kill us," I said. "The same way your original experiment killed my grandmother.""Possibly," Cornelius admitted, with a coldness that turned my stomach. "But I've refined the process considerably since then. The odds of survival are better than they once were.""Better isn't certain," Marcus said, already scanning the room for any visible vent or access point."Nothing in this life is certain," Cornelius said. "I've simply learned to

"Unless every single person in this room agrees to exactly what I require."Cornelius's voice carried no urgency, no threat in the way most dangerous men delivered their demands. Simply certainty, the kind that came from a century of never once being told no and meaning it."We're not agreeing to anything," Lucien said, "until you explain what you actually want.""Direct," Cornelius said, something like approval flickering across his ancient face. "Your mother had that same quality, before she decided disappearing suited her better than confronting me directly."Mireille stepped forward, her composure cracking for the first time since we'd arrived. "You knew I was alive.""Of course," Cornelius said. "I've known everything about everyone in this room for years, Mireille. Watching you build your quiet investigation from that cottage was, frankly, the most entertaining development I've observed in decades.""Then why let it continue," she demanded. "Why let me gather everything I gather
