FOREVER CELESTE: From wife to aunt. Chapter 45: The Man Behind the Curtain
The notification appeared on Lucien's phone at exactly 11:17 p.m.EVE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.For several seconds, he simply stared at the screen.The color drained from his face.Arthur, who had been standing across the room reviewing security reports, immediately noticed."Sir?"Lucien slowly lowered the phone."Find the old biomedical institute."Arthur frowned."The North District facility?""Yes.""We already searched it.""You searched the building."Lucien's voice became dangerously quiet."I want everything beneath it."Arthur's expression changed."You think she found the laboratory?""I know she did."He reached for his coat.Arthur stepped forward."Sir, if Eve has been activated, going there personally could be dangerous."Lucien stopped."I don't care.""Lucien—"The older man looked at him.Arthur immediately fell silent.Lucien's expression wasn't that of a chairman protecting a corporate asset.It was the expression of a man who had just discovered the one secret he'd spen
FOREVER CELESTE: From wife to aunt. Chapter 44: The Eve Laboratory
The parking structure remained silent after the recording ended.Celeste stared at the blank laptop screen, unable to process what she had just heard.Her mother's face was gone.Her voice was gone.But her final warning remained.Never let Lucien take you to the Eve laboratory.Celeste slowly turned toward her father."Where is it?"Her father's face tightened."I don't know.""You know enough.""I know that looking for it will put you in danger.""I'm already in danger."She stood."Someone broke into your hospital room tonight. Someone knew about the box. Someone knew about my mother."Her voice shook with anger."I deserve the truth."Her father lowered his head."The Eve laboratory was built beneath the old Blackwood research facility."Celeste's eyes widened."Where?""The facility was demolished years ago.""That's not what I asked."He sighed."North District. Beneath the original Blackwood Biomedical Institute."Celeste immediately reached for her phone.Then stopped.Lucien'

The door handle turned.Celeste's entire body went rigid.For one terrifying second, she couldn't move.Then her father's voice broke through the darkness."Celeste, now!"She grabbed the black metal box and shoved it into her handbag.The door opened.A shadow appeared in the doorway.Celeste's heart slammed against her ribs."Who are you?"The figure stepped inside."Don't scream."It was a woman.She wore a dark security uniform, but there was something immediately wrong about her.The hospital badge hanging from her neck was upside down.Celeste instinctively stepped backward."You're not hospital security."The woman smiled faintly."Good. Your mother was right about you."Celeste froze."You knew my mother?"Before the woman could answer, a loud crash echoed from the hallway.Her expression changed."They're here.""Who?""The people who have been looking for that box."The woman pointed toward the bathroom."There's an emergency stairwell behind the service panel. Take your fat
FOREVER CELESTE: From wife to aunt. Chapter 42: The Warning
The photograph remained on the desk long after Arthur left.Celeste hadn't moved.Her eyes stayed fixed on the four words written across the back.Trust no Blackwood.And beneath them, the name that made the warning impossible to ignore.Especially Lucien.The room felt different now.Not because Lucien had changed.Because Celeste had.For the first time, a small crack had appeared in the certainty she had built around him.Lucien noticed.He always noticed everything."You don't have to decide what to believe tonight," he said quietly.Celeste looked up."That's convenient."His expression remained calm."What's convenient?""You're telling me not to trust you.""I'm telling you to think."She stood slowly."You've known about my bloodline.""I discovered it recently.""You knew my family's connection to yours.""Yes.""You investigated my life before I even knew you.""Yes.""And now I find a photograph of my mother with a man everyone believed was dead, and that man tells us I sho
FOREVER CELESTE: From wife to aunt. Chapter 41: The Man Who Never Died
For several seconds after the call ended, nobody moved.The study seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.Celeste stared at Lucien, searching his face for an explanation, but the man who had remained composed through boardroom wars, corporate scandals, hostile takeovers, and Adrian's endless mistakes now looked genuinely shaken."Marcus?" she whispered.Lucien slowly lowered his phone."Yes."Arthur's expression had gone rigid."That isn't possible."Lucien's eyes moved toward him."You heard the voice.""I did.""Then tell me what you think."Arthur swallowed."I think someone is impersonating a dead man.""He isn't dead."Lucien's voice was quiet."But the records—""Were falsified."The certainty in his voice silenced the room.Celeste stepped toward the desk."If Marcus is alive, why disappear for twenty-two years?"Lucien looked at her."Because he wanted the world to believe he was dead.""Why?""I don't know."Celeste glanced at the photograph still lying on the desk.The litt
FOREVER CELESTE: From wife to aunt. Chapter 40: The Enemy Within
The words remained suspended in the study.They're still alive.Celeste stared at Lucien, waiting for him to explain.For several seconds, he said nothing.The only sound in the room was the faint ticking of the antique clock against the far wall."Who?" Celeste finally asked.Lucien looked down at the letter again."I don't know."Her brows furrowed."You just said they're still alive.""I said the person responsible for what happened to your family is still alive. The letter doesn't identify them."Celeste stepped closer."Then what does it say?"Lucien handed her the paper.There were only a few lines written in dark ink.The truth about the Justin family was never meant to be discovered.Your father was not the first person they tried to silence.Seven years ago, they destroyed everything because Celeste was getting too close to the truth.And now that she knows about the bloodline, they will come for her again.Celeste's fingers tightened around the page."My father."Lucien's ey
