FOREVER CELESTE: From wife to aunt. Chapter 50 — The Memory Beneath the Memory
MEMORY RESTORATION: 1%The number glowed against the darkness.Celeste couldn't take her eyes off it.She could still hear the recording in her head.Her younger voice.Her mother's desperate plea.And Lucien's voice.She doesn't belong here.For years, Celeste had believed her memories were complete.Her childhood.Her parents.Her mother's disappearance.Her father's silence.Everything had always felt fragmented, but she had never questioned the gaps.Now she understood.They weren't gaps.They had been deliberately created.“Lucien.”He looked at her.“What did you erase?”His expression remained controlled, but something in his eyes had changed.Pain.Regret.“Everything that could lead you back here.”Celeste stepped closer.“You said my mother asked you to.”“She did.”“Did you agree because you cared about her?”Lucien's jaw tightened.“I agreed because she was terrified.”“That isn't an answer.”“No.”He looked directly into her eyes.“I agreed because I cared about you.”Cel
FOREVER CELESTE: From wife to aunt. Chapter 49 — The Compatibility
The alarm screamed through the underground facility.Red emergency lights flashed across the corridor, turning everything into fragments of crimson and shadow.COMPATIBILITY: 99.97%Celeste stared at the number.Then at Lucien.Then back at the screen.“No.”Her voice was barely audible.Lucien didn't move.Marcus was the first to speak.“That percentage isn't possible.”Celeste turned toward him.“Why?”“Because even siblings don't necessarily share compatibility at that level. Unrelated people certainly don't.”Elias's voice came through the speakers.“Unless they were selected.”Celeste's blood ran cold.“What does that mean?”“You're asking the wrong question.”“Then give me the right one.”Silence.Then Elias answered.“Ask yourself why your mother brought you to Lucien.”Celeste froze.“My mother never brought me to him.”“Didn't she?”Lucien's expression hardened.“Elias.”“Seven years ago, your mother came to me.”Celeste looked at Lucien.He didn't deny it.Her heart sank.“W

The words appeared across the screen in cold white letters.GENETIC AUTHORIZATION ACCEPTED.Celeste stared at them.For several seconds, she couldn't breathe.The underground facility hummed around them, its machinery awakening one system at a time. Thin strips of white light flickered along the walls. Somewhere beneath the floor, something enormous began to power up.Lucien stepped closer.“Celeste.”She didn't answer.Her hand was still pressed against the panel.The machine suddenly scanned her palm again.IDENTITY CONFIRMED.Then another line appeared.SUBJECT: EVE-01.Celeste's blood ran cold.“No.”Marcus looked at the screen.His face changed.“Eve-01…”Lucien's expression hardened.“What does that mean?”Marcus slowly shook his head.“I don't know.”“You're lying.”“I swear I don't.”A violent metallic sound echoed through the corridor.CLANG.The glass room containing Celeste's father began to change.The walls surrounding him became transparent, revealing dozens of tubes and

The elevator doors opened into the abandoned lobby of the Blackwood Biomedical Institute.Celeste stepped out first.Lucien followed closely behind her.Marcus came last, carrying the black drive containing the original Project Eve records.Outside, the rain had intensified.Thunder rolled across the city as Celeste walked toward the waiting black sedan.Lucien opened the rear door."Get in."She stopped."Where are we going?""Your father's hospital.""How do you know he'll still be there?""Because Elias wants us to find him."Celeste frowned."That sounds too easy.""It is."Lucien's expression was grim."This isn't a rescue. It's bait."Celeste stared at him."And you're still coming.""Of course.""Why?"Lucien held her gaze."Because you're going."That answer silenced her.She got into the car.Lucien entered beside her while Marcus took the front passenger seat.The vehicle pulled away from the institute.For several minutes, nobody spoke.Celeste stared through the rain-cover
FOREVER CELESTE: From wife to aunt. Chapter 46: The Man Who Should Be Dead
For several seconds after the screens went black, nobody moved.Celeste stood frozen in the center of the laboratory.Her mind raced through everything she had just heard.Her grandfather.A man who had supposedly died before she was born.A man whose existence had never been questioned because there had never been a reason to question it.Yet the stranger on the screen had looked directly at her and claimed to be him.Marcus was the first to move.He hurried toward the main terminal and began entering commands."Marcus."He didn't answer."Marcus!""I need to shut down the system."Celeste grabbed his arm."Who was that man?"Marcus finally looked at her.His face had lost all its color."Dr. Elias Justin."Celeste's breath caught."My grandfather?"Marcus nodded slowly."Your mother's father.""But he died.""That's what everyone was told."Celeste stepped back."Who told everyone?"Marcus's silence was answer enough."Lucien."Her voice dropped.Marcus looked away."Lucien was the

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
