Marrying My Ex’s Billionaire Uncle. Chapter 100: The Ninth Door
The helicopter touched down just after sunset.Amelia jumped out before the rotors had fully slowed.Marcus, Claire, Julian, Captain Nora, Samuel, Gabriel, Elias, and Seraphine followed close behind.The Carter Center was eerily quiet.Police vehicles surrounded the building.Emergency lights painted the walls in flashes of blue and red.Henry met them outside.A bandage wrapped around his forehead.Relief washed over his face when he saw Amelia.“You’re here.”She hurried to him.“What happened?”Henry looked toward the entrance.“They didn’t come to kill us.”“They came looking for something.”⸻Inside, the archive was in disarray.Books covered the floor.Display cases had been opened.Documents were scattered everywhere.Yet strangely…Very little had actually been stolen.Professor Moreau sat in a chair, exhausted but unharmed.“They searched every room.”“For nearly twenty minutes.”Marcus looked around.“What were they after?”Henry answered with one word.“Daniel.”⸻Amelia fr
Marrying My Ex’s Billionaire Uncle. Chapter 99: The Circle Awakens
The last fragment of the mirror struck the forest floor.Instead of shattering further, each piece dissolved into tiny sparks of silver light that drifted into the air before disappearing among the branches.No one spoke.Amelia stared at the silver circle that had appeared on her wrist.It felt warm.Not painful.Alive.Marcus stepped beside her.“Are you okay?”She looked at the mark.“I… I think so.”“But I don’t understand any of this.”⸻Elias picked up one of the remaining mirror fragments.Its surface had already turned to dust.“You weren’t supposed to.”Claire frowned.“What do you mean?”He sighed.“The Eighth Sanctuary was meant to awaken only when the Seven stood in perfect balance.”He looked toward the glowing cedar tree.“They’re not.”Julian folded his arms.“Because one has already fallen.”“Exactly.”⸻A distant clap of thunder rolled across the forest.Yet the sky above remained clear.Captain Nora checked the weather scanner on her tablet.“No storm.”Samuel looked
Marrying My Ex’s Billionaire Uncle. Chapter 98: The Awakening
Golden pillars pierced the sky.One.Then three.Then five.From the heart of forests, beneath forgotten mountains, across distant deserts, and beyond frozen seas, brilliant columns of light rose into the heavens.The Hidden Sanctuaries were awakening.Amelia stood beneath the ancient cedar tree, unable to look away.The Seed of Hope rested in her palm, warm and alive.She could feel it pulsing like a heartbeat.⸻Elias Arden stared upward, his face pale.“This has never happened.”Julian turned sharply.“You’ve seen the Sanctuaries awaken before?”“Not like this.”Elias shook his head.“They always awakened one at a time.”“Never together.”Seraphine whispered,“Someone has connected them.”⸻A powerful gust of wind swept through the clearing.The towering cedar tree glowed brighter.Its leaves shimmered like molten gold before returning to their natural green.The split in its trunk widened.Hidden inside was a narrow passage descending into the earth.Unlike the entrance they had d

The laughter echoed through the forest.Soft.Joyful.Innocent.It rose from the glowing chasm beneath the ancient cedar tree, lingering in the warm air before slowly fading into silence.No one spoke.Marcus looked at Amelia.“Tell me I’m not the only one who heard that.”“You aren’t,” she replied quietly.⸻Seraphine stood perfectly still.For the first time since revealing herself, the calm confidence in her face wavered.“The Sanctuary has awakened.”Julian turned toward her.“It wasn’t supposed to.”“No,” Seraphine admitted.“It only awakens when a Guardian arrives.”Her eyes settled on Amelia.“It has accepted you.”⸻The golden light spilling from the broken entrance became brighter.Instead of blinding, it felt comforting.Warm memories surfaced in everyone’s mind.Marcus suddenly remembered learning to ride a bicycle with his father.Claire saw herself laughing with Daniel on a rainy afternoon many years ago.Henry heard his mother’s voice singing the melody from the Sanctum.
Marrying My Ex’s Billionaire Uncle. Chapter 96: The Forest of Hope
The first light of dawn spilled across the Carter Center.Inside the conference room, maps, satellite images, and old journals covered every available surface.No one had slept.The revelation of the Seven Hidden Sanctuaries had changed everything.Amelia stood at the head of the table, studying a map of West Africa.Her finger rested on southern Nigeria.“If the Sanctuary of Hope is really here,” she said, “we don’t have much time.”Elias nodded.“We don’t.”⸻Professor Moreau placed a faded parchment beside the modern map.“The old records don’t mention cities.”“They mention rivers.”He traced a winding blue line across the page.“According to this, the Sanctuary lies where three ancient paths once met.”Captain Nora compared the parchment with satellite images.“The rivers have shifted over the centuries.”“But…”She zoomed in on a dense patch of rainforest.“This area has barely changed.”Samuel leaned over her shoulder.“How remote is it?”“Very.”“There are no roads leading int
Marrying My Ex’s Billionaire Uncle. Chapter 95: The Seven Hidden Sanctuaries
The last blue beam faded into the night.An uneasy silence settled over the Carter Center.No one spoke.Everyone stared toward the eastern horizon where the light had vanished only moments before.Elias Arden lowered his head.“The First Hidden Sanctuary has fallen.”His voice carried genuine sorrow.Not triumph.Not relief.Sorrow.⸻Marcus crossed his arms.“If you’re telling the truth…”He looked directly at Elias.“…then who destroyed it?”Elias didn’t answer immediately.Instead, he reached into his coat and unfolded an old piece of parchment.Its edges were worn smooth with age.He spread it across the cedar table.Unlike ordinary maps, it contained only seven circles connected by thin silver lines.Six circles glowed faintly.One had turned completely black.“The Seven Hidden Sanctuaries,” Elias said quietly.“They were built long before the Covenant.”“Long before the Seekers.”“Long before the First Circle disappeared.”⸻Professor Moreau adjusted his glasses.“I’ve spent fi
