He Lost Me Before He Knew About Our Triplets Chapter 58 — The Photograph That Shouldn't Exist
The photograph was impossible.Ethan stared at the screen without blinking.Four children stood in front of the Blackwood estate.Lucas.Lily.Noah.Evelyn.They were alive.They were together.And behind them stood Elena Reed.Beside Elena stood Helena Lancaster.But the man partially visible near the stone column made Ethan's blood run cold.Alexander Blackwood.The same Alexander who had been captured less than an hour earlier.The same Alexander Marcus had watched officers take into custody.The same Alexander whose hands had been restrained before he was removed from the hospital.Ethan slowly lowered the phone.“No.”Ava looked at him.“What?”He turned the screen toward her.She stared at the photograph.For several seconds, she said nothing.Then her face changed.Not fear.Recognition.“That isn't a live photograph.”Marcus immediately looked up.“What makes you say that?”Ava zoomed in.“The children.”Lucas was wearing the same dark blue sweater he'd had at the hospital.Li
He Lost Me Before He Knew About Our Triplets Chapter 57 — Elias Must Come Alone
The message disappeared.But the threat remained burned into everyone's minds.OR LUCAS DIES FIRST.Ethan stared at the dark screen.For five years, everyone had called him Ethan Blackwood.His father had called him Elias only in private.The hospital records had buried the name.Richard had erased it.Alexander had hunted it.And now someone beneath Saint Catherine's had demanded it.Ava stepped toward him.“No.”Ethan looked at her.“I haven't said anything.”“You don't have to.”She shook her head.“You're not going down there alone.”“They specifically asked for me.”“They don't get to decide that.”His expression softened.“Ava—”“No.”She stepped closer.“You spent years making decisions for everyone because you thought protecting us meant carrying everything yourself.”Her voice trembled, but she didn't look away.“You don't get to do that anymore.”Ethan reached for her.She caught his hand before he could pull her closer.“If you go,” she whispered, “I go.”He stared at her.
He Lost Me Before He Knew About Our Triplets Chapter 56 — The Choice Adrian Made
Adrian had faced gunfire, imprisonment, betrayal, and five years of being hunted.But nothing prepared him for the look in his son's eyes.Ethan stared at him as though the man standing in front of him had suddenly become a stranger.“You ordered her memory erased?”Adrian said nothing.Ava felt something inside her collapse.She had spent days rebuilding the truth from fragments.Every revelation had hurt.Every secret had forced her to question another memory.But this one was different.Because Adrian wasn't a distant figure from an old photograph anymore.He was standing in front of her.Alive.And Elena had just accused him of taking away part of her life.“Answer him,” Ava said.Adrian looked at her.“I did.”The silence that followed was devastating.Ethan's face hardened.“You did what?”“I authorized the memory suppression.”Ava took a step backward.“Why?”Adrian's voice was quiet.“Because you were going to die.”“That isn't an answer.”“It is the only answer that matters.”
He Lost Me Before He Knew About Our Triplets Chapter 55 — The Child They Were Ordered to Kill
Three children's voices came from behind the steel door.Alive.Terrified.Calling for their mother.Ava didn't think.She ran toward the door.“Ava!”Ethan caught her hand just before she reached it.“Wait.”“That's Lily, Noah, and Evelyn!”“I know.”“They're behind that door!”“I know.”“Then open it!”Ethan looked at Marcus.Marcus was already examining the locking mechanism.“Electronic seal,” he said. “No external release.”“Break it,” Ethan ordered.Marcus shook his head.“If Cross sealed it from the main system, forcing it could trigger something.”Ava stared at the door.“Trigger what?”Marcus didn't answer immediately.Then he noticed a small red indicator beside the frame.His expression changed.“Gas.”Ethan's eyes hardened.“How long?”“Maybe thirty seconds before the system activates.”Ava's face went white.“Then stop it.”Marcus pulled open the panel.Wires and circuitry filled the compartment.“I need time.”“You have ten seconds,” Ethan said.Ava pressed both palms ag
He Lost Me Before He Knew About Our Triplets Chapter 54 — The Woman Behind the Voice
The voice sounded exactly like Elena.That was what terrified Ava most.Not the gunshot.Not Cross.Not even the possibility that her mother had lied to her.The voice was too familiar.Too gentle.Too real.“Tell your mother who really took you.”Ava took one step toward the corridor.Adrian caught her wrist.“Don't.”“My son is calling me.”“And that's exactly what Cross wants.”Ava turned on him.“You said you've been trying to get back to your sons for five years. Then help me get to mine.”Adrian's expression tightened.“I will.”“Then let me go.”He released her.Ava ran.Ethan was beside her instantly.Marcus followed, weapon raised.They reached the end of the corridor just as another door slammed somewhere ahead.“Lucas!” Ava shouted.No answer.She pushed through the door.The room beyond was empty.A single speaker hung from the ceiling.Static hissed through it.Then Elena's voice returned.“Lucas, sweetheart…”Ava stared at the speaker.“No.”She stepped closer.“Mom?”Th
He Lost Me Before He Knew About Our Triplets Chapter 53 — Grandma's Memory
The voice came through the darkness so quietly that Ava almost missed it.“I remember now.”Lucas.Then the child whispered the word that turned Ava's blood cold.“Grandma.”Ava stopped breathing.The emergency lights flickered once, bathing the underground archive in a weak red glow.“Lucas?” she called.Nothing.“Lucas!”Her voice cracked as she lunged toward the corridor, but Ethan caught her around the waist before she could disappear into the darkness.“Ava, wait.”“My son is down there.”“I know.”“Then let me go.”“No.”She twisted in his arms, furious. “Ethan, let me go!”“I won't lose you too.”The words stopped her.For one second, neither of them moved.His arms remained around her, not controlling her this time, but holding her together.Then Ava whispered, “He said Grandma.”“I heard him.”“Elena.”Ethan's expression hardened.They both knew what that name meant.Not because Elena was unquestionably guilty.Because she had been everywhere this mystery had touched.The hos
