My Ex, the Widowed Billionaire Chapter 121
The bridge was a flurry of activity, but beneath the controlled chaos, a taut thread of dread wound itself tighter around my chest. The unmarked Dominion ship loomed like a shadow on the display, a silent threat against the endless void outside the Solace’s hull.I paced slowly to the viewport, watching the cold stars blur past as the ship adjusted its course to intercept the Veritas. Callum stayed close behind, his eyes never leaving me. I wanted to say something—anything—to break the silence. Instead, I let the hum of the ship and the weight of the unknown fill the space.The seed, that ancient alien intelligence pulsing beneath my skin, throbbed faintly in sync with my heartbeat. I could feel it reacting—cautious, guarded. As if it understood the danger, even if I did not.“Kira,” I called, voice steady despite the turmoil inside. “Status on the Veritas?”She glanced up from her console, fingers flying across the controls. “They’re holding position just outside firing range. No agg

The Veritas hung in space like a dagger poised for the kill.Every inch of Solace’s bridge was wired tight. No one breathed too deeply. No one blinked too long.Even the hum of the consoles sounded quieter—as if the ship itself knew what loomed before us.I stood at the center, arms folded, jaw locked, but my mind was racing. Rael. The name meant nothing. But his voice—that cold familiarity buried beneath the polished malice—it unsettled something old in me. Something inherited.Callum stood by my side like a shadow forged in loyalty. He hadn’t said much since the call, but his presence kept me grounded.“Any movement?” I asked Elias.He shook his head. “They’re holding position just outside weapons range. But they're not here to wait. This feels like intimidation.”“Or a stall,” Kira added from her console. “While something else moves behind us.”I looked at her. “Are you saying there could be more ships?”“We don’t have Dominion sensor keys. If they’re cloaked, we wouldn’t see them

I watched the stars through the viewport in my quarters, alone in the dim hush of the ship. The silence was thicker tonight—like Solace itself was holding its breath.Rian’s warning echoed in my mind. The failsafe drive still rested on the desk beside me like a loaded weapon. And yet, it wasn’t fear that unsettled me the most.It was the weight of being seen—the way he’d looked at me, called me dangerous and precious in the same breath.And the way Callum had stood by me, unwavering.A soft knock broke my thoughts.Callum.Of course.“Door’s open,” I said.He stepped in quietly, not in uniform, just in a black thermal and worn boots, the kind of man who made simplicity look like armor. His presence filled the room like gravity, and suddenly, I wasn’t floating in chaos anymore.“You should be sleeping,” I said, trying to smile.“So should you,” he replied, his voice low.I nodded to the chair across from me. “Couldn’t. Too much... everything.”He didn’t sit. Just walked over to the vie

The stars thinned as we approached Lyria’s Drift.The asteroid belt spun lazily on the ship’s sensors, a scatter of ancient rocks and debris floating in silence. But beneath the silence, something stirred. My hands tightened on the command rail as Solace slowed to sublight, coasting into the dead zone where light seemed hesitant to follow.We were alone here.And yet… we weren’t.Callum stood beside me, eyes fixed ahead. His presence was grounding, a constant in a sea of unraveling truths.“You sure this is where the signal came from?” he asked quietly.Elias nodded, tapping at his console. “Triangulated and confirmed. The source is broadcasting on a quantum carrier. Short bursts, irregular timing. It’s like he wants to be found—but only by someone who knows how to listen.”“Typical Rian,” I muttered, the name bitter on my tongue.Callum turned to me. “You’re certain he’d do all this? Fake his death. Sabotage a project. And now—what? Warn us from a hideout in an asteroid field?”“No,”

The transmission came without warning.We were gathered in the arboretum, watching the seed pulse softly beneath the vessel’s domed glass ceiling. Its roots were growing steadily now, winding through the floor like veins of starlight. We had all started to feel it—the sense of becoming, like the ship itself was responding to us in real time.Then the light flickered.Just once.Barely noticeable, like a heartbeat skipping.But I felt it in my bones.Then a tone echoed through the air, different from anything we’d heard so far—low, deliberate, foreign.Elias looked up from his datapad. “Uh… that wasn’t us.”“Status,” Callum said immediately, rising to his feet. I was already moving toward the command deck, his voice just behind me.The vessel’s interface shimmered to life before I could speak, and a waveform scrolled across the screen—followed by a voice.Crackled, broken, but unmistakably human.“—na… Athena Presscot… Solace—this is Dr. Rian Halden. Please respond.”The name hit me li

My room wasn’t large. It didn’t need to be. But it held a quiet warmth—walls lined with soft starlight and pale birch panels. A window that opened onto a view that shouldn’t have existed: an endless sky streaked in gold and violet, stars blooming like flowers in the distance. And in the center of the room, a low bed wrapped in blankets the color of dusk.I sat at the edge of it, silent, still holding the moment the seed had awakened. The others had drifted to their own rooms, full of wide eyes and uncertain laughter. We were all pretending we weren’t overwhelmed.Callum hadn’t said much when I lingered in the corridor, looking back toward the heart of the ship. He had only reached out, brushed a knuckle down my cheek, and whispered, “Tomorrow, Keeper.”But now, the quiet of the room settled too easily on me. I couldn’t sleep.And I didn’t want to be alone.Before I could second-guess myself, I stood, crossed the room, and stepped through the threshold again. The corridors were dim and
