He Lost Me When He Chose Her The Choice That Changed Everything
Aniya’s POVThe vault doors burst open.A dozen armed men stormed into the chamber, their weapons raised and their faces covered with black masks.Lily screamed against my chest.I turned away from them, shielding her with my body.KC immediately stepped in front of me.“Stay behind me.”The first gunshot rang through the room.KC fired back.Chaos erupted.Corbin dragged me toward the side of the chamber while Marcus rushed to the control panel beside the vault.Madam Harlow disappeared behind two of her men, shouting orders.“Do not let Aniya leave!”Another bullet struck the wall above my head.I held Lily tightly and ducked behind a stone pillar.“Is she okay?” KC shouted.“She’s scared!”“Keep her down!”Corbin crouched beside me.“Give me Lily.”I glared at him.“Absolutely not.”“I can get her out through the service passage.”“You’ve lied to me too many times.”His face tightened.“Aniya, I am trying to save her.”“Then tell me the truth!”He glanced toward the gunfire.“There
He Lost Me When He Chose Her The Child They Tried to Erase
Aniya’s POV“Mommy, don’t let them take my blood!”Lily’s scream tore through the chamber.I wrapped both arms around her and turned away from the glowing handprints.“No one is taking anything from you.”Madam Harlow stepped forward.“You cannot stop what has already begun.”The symbols on the wall grew brighter.Lily began trembling in my arms.KC moved between us and the vault.“Shut it down.”Madam Harlow smiled. “You still don’t understand. The vault is responding to Aniya’s memories. It has recognized the second heir.”“Lily is not an heir to anything,” I snapped. “She is my daughter.”“She is both.”A sharp pain spread through Lily’s body. She cried out and clutched her chest.I panicked.“What’s happening to her?”Corbin rushed toward us, but KC raised his weapon.“Stay back.”“Let me see her!”“You knew about this,” KC said. “You don’t get to come near her.”Corbin’s eyes filled with desperation.“I didn’t know the vault would activate this way.”“You brought her here.”“I wa
He Lost Me When He Chose Her The Truth Behind the Blood
Aniya’s POV“Grandma said you were the one who killed her.”Lily’s tiny voice echoed through the chamber.No one moved.Madam Harlow stared at her, and for the first time, the calm expression on her face disappeared.“What did you say?” she asked.Lily buried her face against my neck.I looked at Madam Harlow. “Why would my grandmother tell Lily that?”“She didn’t,” Madam Harlow replied.Corbin’s eyes narrowed. “Then who did?”A slow smile appeared on Madam Harlow’s lips.“Your daughter has been hearing voices.”My blood ran cold.“What does that mean?”“She has been communicating with the vault.”I stared at her.“That’s impossible.”“Is it?”Madam Harlow walked toward the stone door.“The Harlow bloodline has always been more complicated than you were told. Your grandmother discovered that certain memories could be preserved through sound, images, and genetic triggers.”She placed her palm against the wall.“The vault was designed to recognize members of the bloodline. But it also r
He Lost Me When He Chose Her The Man Inside the Vault
Aniya’s POV“Finally, my little girl has come home.”The voice was familiar.Too familiar.My heart began to pound as a figure stepped out from the darkness beyond the stone door.Lily lifted her head from my shoulder.“Daddy!”She reached toward him.I froze.The man walked into the light, revealing a face I had spent months trying to forget.Corbin.Corbin Vale.My former husband.The man who had betrayed me.The man who had disappeared after leaving behind a letter claiming he had never stopped loving me.The man who had supposedly been protecting Lily.He smiled at our daughter.“Come here, sweetheart.”Lily struggled in my arms, reaching for him.I instinctively stepped back.“No.”Corbin’s smile disappeared.“Don’t be afraid, Aniya.”“You’re supposed to be missing.”“I was hiding.”“You let me believe you were dead.”“I needed everyone to believe it.”My voice shook with anger.“You let me think you abandoned us.”Corbin’s eyes darkened.“I had to keep Lily safe.”“By keeping he
He Lost Me When He Chose Her In the Dark
The darkness swallowed the room.For one terrifying second, nobody moved.Then someone grabbed my hand.I almost screamed.“It’s me.”KC.I immediately held onto him.“Stay behind me.”“I’m not leaving you.”“I didn’t ask you to.”His hand tightened around mine.A gunshot echoed from downstairs.Then another.Someone shouted.Footsteps thundered across the floor below us.“They’re coming up,” Samuel said.Margaret moved toward the wall.“There’s another exit.”I could barely see her silhouette.“Where?”“Behind the cabinet.”Samuel pushed the metal cabinet aside.A narrow doorway appeared behind it.I stared.“How many secret rooms does this family have?”“Enough to keep us alive,” Margaret replied.KC pulled out his phone and switched on the flashlight.The beam illuminated the room.“Everyone move.”Samuel went first.Margaret followed.I stayed between KC and my parents, my heart pounding as we slipped through the narrow opening.The passage smelled damp and old.The walls were cov
He Lost Me When He Chose Her The Price of Protection
Aniya’s POV“Mom!”I rushed toward her, but KC grabbed my waist and pulled me back just as another bullet struck the wall beside us.My mother lay on the floor, one hand pressed against her stomach. Blood spread across her blouse, dark and frightening.“Stay down!” KC shouted.His father fired toward the corridor, forcing Damian and his men to retreat behind the stone pillars.I struggled against KC’s hold.“My mother is hurt!”“And you’ll be dead if you run toward the gunfire.”“I don’t care!”“I do.”His voice cut through the chaos. His arms tightened around me as he dragged me behind a thick wall.Across the corridor, my grandfather was leaning against the wall, his face pale. My father knelt beside him, trying to keep pressure on his wound.Lily was crying silently in Maya’s arms.Everything was happening too quickly.My mother had been shot.My grandfather was bleeding.Damian was still somewhere inside the estate.And the truth about my family was becoming more horrifying with e
