Team POV

The amusement park's speakers crackled with static before Viktor's voice filled the night air, cold and triumphant.

"Eighteen minutes until dawn. Eighteen minutes until downtown becomes a crater." His laugh echoed off the abandoned rides. "Even if you find it, only my biometric signature can disarm it. Choose wisely how you spend your final moments."

David grabbed Elena's arm, blood still seeping from her shoulder wound. "The bomb, where would he put it?"

"City Hall," Elena gasped, pressing her hand against the bleeding. "Maximum casualties, symbolic destruction. He's always been theatrical."

"Go," Lyra shouted from where she knelt beside Ciara, whose breathing had become shallow, labored. "All of you, go!"

"We're not leaving you.." Chris started.

"Yes, you are." Lyra's voice broke no argument. "Thousands of people will die. Ciara and I will be fine."

Margaret was already moving, her phone pressed to her ear. "This is Agent Reynolds. We need immediate evacuation of a twelve-b

  • PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE    136: Legacy of Pain

    Rhys's POVThe warehouse fell silent except for the sound of my own breathing. My father lay on the concrete floor, blood pooling beneath his chest. The gun in my hand felt like it weighed a thousand pounds. I'd pulled the trigger. I'd killed my own father."Jesus Christ, Rhys." Chris's voice came from somewhere far away, though he was standing right beside me.Viktor stepped out from behind his cover, clapping slowly. "Magnificent. I knew one of you had it in you, but I wasn't sure which one.""Shut up," I said, my voice barely a whisper."Twenty-three years he fed me information about you. Every move, every plan, every weakness." Viktor smiled like he was discussing the weather. "He sold you out for money, and you still hesitated before pulling that trigger."My hands were shaking. The gun clattered to the floor."That's the difference between us, Rhys. I would have shot him the moment I realized what he was.""I said shut up." Chris stepped forward, his own weapon trained on Viktor

  • PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 135: Fathers and Sons

    Thomas (Rhys's Father) POVThe warehouse smelled of rust and decay, but the money in my offshore account smelled sweeter than any flower. Fifty million dollars. More money than I'd ever dreamed of having, all for doing what came naturally, looking out for myself."Thomas, you've done excellent work," Viktor said, pouring himself a glass of expensive whiskey. "Your sons have no idea how long you've been feeding me information about their movements."I shrugged, checking my watch. "Twenty-three years. Since before Chris was born."The truth was, I'd never been cut out for fatherhood. When Maria died giving birth to Chris, I was left with two boys I didn't want and bills I couldn't pay. Viktor's offer had been a lifeline, money in exchange for keeping tabs on my own children."Do you ever feel guilt?" Viktor asked, settling into a leather chair like he owned the world. Maybe he did."Guilt's expensive," I replied. "I can't afford it."Through the warehouse windows, I could see the city b

    Lyra's POV"No." The word tore from my throat like a physical thing. "Absolutely not."Finn stood in the center of the lab, his twelve-year-old face pale but determined. My son—my baby—was volunteering to die so strangers could live."Mom, it makes sense," Finn said, his voice steady in a way that broke my heart. "You have your whole life ahead of you. I'm just a kid.""Just a kid?" I grabbed his shoulders, feeling how thin he'd gotten during our ordeal with Viktor. "You're everything. You're my entire world."Chris stepped forward. "There has to be another way. What about using both of you? Split the transfusion somehow?"Mom shook her head, her medical training written in every line of her face. "It doesn't work that way. The serum needs to be concentrated, pure. Half measures won't save anyone."Outside, sirens wailed continuously. Through the lab windows, I could see people collapsing in the parking lot. A woman dragged her husband toward the building, leaving a trail of blood on

  • PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 133: Viral Threat

    Margaret's POVThe first scream echoed through downtown at 6:47 AM.I was still coordinating evacuations when my phone buzzed with emergency alerts. Water department sensors showing contamination. Hospitals reporting patients with rapid-onset neurological symptoms. My blood turned to ice as I read the clinical descriptions, hemorrhagic fever, organ failure, death within hours."David!" I shouted into my headset. "Elena's sacrifice stopped the bomb, but there's something else. The water supply..""I know." His voice cracked with exhaustion and grief. "Viktor's final gift. A biological weapon."Through the emergency command center's windows, I watched a man collapse on the street corner, convulsions wracking his body. A woman knelt beside him, screaming for help that wouldn't come fast enough.Twenty-seven years of medical practice, and I'd never seen anything spread this fast."Get everyone to the university lab," I said, grabbing my medical kit. "Now. Before this gets worse."+++++Th

    Elena's POV5:21... 5:20... 5:19...The red numbers burned into my vision as I stared at the bomb's display. My shoulder throbbed where Viktor's bullet had torn through muscle and bone, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the weight of failure crushing my chest."There has to be another way," David said, his voice desperate. He was examining every wire, every circuit, as if sheer determination could unlock the device's secrets."Viktor planned this perfectly," I whispered, my legs giving out. I slumped against the cold concrete wall, feeling blood seep through my makeshift bandage. "He never trusted anyone. Not even Ciara."4:47... 4:46... 4:45...On David's phone, Lyra's voice crackled through the speaker. "Dad, what's happening down there?""We're working on it," David lied, but I could see the truth in his eyes. We were going to fail. The city would burn because I hadn't been smart enough, fast enough, good enough.I closed my eyes and saw her face, Lyra, eight years old,
