My Father's Rival Is My Lover Chapter 130
The Jakarta skyline was still lit by the soft glow of dawn when Grace stood on the hotel balcony, her thoughts knotted in shadows. The wind tangled in her hair, but she barely noticed. The events in the orphanage had shaken something deep within her, a fear she hadn’t faced in years.Adrian was still asleep inside, his body exhausted from the emotional and physical toll of the past few days. But Grace couldn’t rest. Not yet. Not when the clone of her lover had spoken so coldly. Not when Jade was still out there, playing a game of fire and vengeance with the ashes of the empire.And not when the name she'd buried long ago had resurfaced, uninvited.“Elijah.”The name escaped her lips like a curse.She hadn’t spoken it in years. Hadn't needed to. But now, her instincts screamed at her that he was the only one who could help them now. Even if his help came with a cost.Flashback: Six Years Ago, ParisShe remembered the narrow streets of Montmartre, the way they twisted like secrets. She’

The Swiss dawn crept slowly over the horizon, painting golden streaks across the sky as the Ashford Empire lay in smoldering digital ruins. The Black Tower stood cold and silent, its systems permanently shut down. No more secrets. No more surveillance. No more control.Adrian Ashford stood on the terrace of the lakeside villa, a steaming cup of espresso in hand. The chill bit at his skin, but he welcomed the sting. It reminded him that he was alive. Free. No longer a puppet in his father's twisted empire.Behind him, Grace stirred beneath the soft linen sheets of their shared bed. She had barely slept, and he didn’t blame her. What they’d uncovered in the Tower had cracked open wounds neither of them knew existed. But through the cracks, something new had begun to bloom, honesty, vulnerability, love.He sipped the espresso and stared into the sunrise. His empire had fallen. Now it was time to build something better.But first, he had to face the ghosts still walking among the ashes.T

The private jet sliced through the clouds above Europe like a dagger through silk. Adrian sat in silence, gazing out the window at the shrinking sky, his thoughts a whirlwind of anticipation and dread. Grace sat across from him, her fingers nervously tapping the armrest.“This isn’t just a building,” she said, her voice quiet. “It’s a vault of ghosts.”Adrian nodded. “Every dirty deal, every bloodstained dollar my father touched, it’s all archived there. Hidden beneath the surface of Geneva in a building disguised as a banking fortress.”“And we’re walking right into it.”He looked up at her, eyes firm. “We have to. If we’re going to dismantle the Ashford Empire, we need to see the beast for what it truly is.”The pilot’s voice crackled through the cabin: “Mr. Ashford, we’re making our descent.”Adrian fastened his seatbelt. Grace did the same. But as the jet dipped lower, she reached out and grabbed his hand.“I don’t care what we find in that tower,” she said. “As long as I leave wi

The moment Grace shattered the kill switch beneath her heel, the air in the Ashford Council Chamber thickened like smoke before a storm. Gasps rippled through the council members, some rising from their chairs in protest while others stared in stunned silence.Jade, eyes wide with disbelief, stepped forward. “You’ve doomed him.”“No,” Grace said calmly, standing taller. “I saved him.”Adrian’s heart was pounding. The device was gone. The last safeguard. But he felt more in control now than ever before. The ghost of Alaric was still inside him, but weaker, quieter. As if Grace’s defiance had disrupted the ancient algorithm of the Genesis Protocol itself.“This was never meant to be just about power,” Adrian said, sweeping his eyes over the council. “It was about control. Fear. Alaric ruled from the shadows, convinced emotions were weaknesses. But he was wrong. Love isn’t my weakness. It’s my strength.”“You sentimental fool,” one of the older councilwomen snapped. “You don’t understand

The soft hum of the Ashford vault echoed like a pulse. A single light overhead flickered before stabilizing, casting pale illumination over Adrian and Grace as their hands remained locked on the biometric pads. Neither of them moved. Neither could breathe.Then it happened.The room shifted.The air grew heavier, and the very walls seemed to pulse in time with Adrian’s heartbeat. Grace gasped, clutching her chest. Not from pain, but from something far stranger.A connection.She could feel Adrian. Not just his hand in hers, not just the physical closeness, but his thoughts. His fear. His memories. Fragmented pieces of his life flickered behind her eyes like distant thunder: a child hiding beneath a staircase, bruised and quiet; a teenager learning how to shoot with a shaking hand; a man staring into a mirror, trying to recognize the monster in his own reflection.And within him… echoes of a voice that wasn’t his own.Alaric Ashford.The system chimed.GENESIS MERGE: STAGE ONE COMPLETE

The blinking green light beneath the Ashford Estate pulsed steadily in the shadows, like the heartbeat of a buried monster. Far below the restored silence of the manor, the air was thick with electricity, ancient dust, and secrets that had waited too long to wake.On the monitor, lines of code unraveled like prophecy.PROJECT ALPHA_002: STATUS—ACTIVEPRIMARY HOST CONFIRMED: ADRIAN ASHFORDSECONDARY COMMAND: ENGAGE GENESIS MODESomewhere upstairs, Adrian stirred in his sleep.Grace’s DreamGrace didn’t know why she was crying in her dream, only that everything around her was falling.A ballroom.A chandelier crashing.A voice screaming her name.She turned and saw Adrian… not as he was, but younger. A child, barely ten, shackled to a chair with wires in his skin.Behind him stood a man in shadows. Faceless. Watching.“You can’t save him,” the voice said her own, but twisted.“I can try,” she whispered.“Trying costs everything.”Then the floor opened up beneath her and she fell into da
