RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE EX-HUSBAND CHASED ME BACK CHAPTER 191
Voss twirled Jeff's dog tags around her finger, the metal glinting with fresh blood. My stomach twisted as I pressed Mara and Lena behind me, their rapid breaths hot against my back."Let's make this simple," Voss said, her surgical mask fluttering with each word. "Give me Lena, and I'll let you walk away with your... daughter." Her gaze flicked to Mara. "Such a touching reunion."Nolan stepped forward, hands raised. "There's another way—"Voss shot him in the knee.He collapsed with a grunt as Lena screamed. Mara buried her face in my jacket, trembling. The armed men moved in, rifles trained on us.Voss sighed. "I'd hoped we could be civilized." She tossed the dog tags at my feet. "Jeff fought well. Pity his last words were about you."The world narrowed to those bloodstained tags. Jeff couldn't be—Lena darted out from behind me. "You're lying!"Voss's smile was a razor cut. "Am I?" She pulled a tablet from her coat, tapping the screen.Security footage played—Jeff pinned beneath tw

The photograph trembled in my hand—Saskia's younger face beaming at the bundle in her arms. My infant eyes stared back, the telltale D-28 scar already visible on my tiny shoulder.Jeff's boot crunched glass as he stepped closer. "Photos can be faked."Saskia didn't flinch. "So can memories." She reached slowly into her pocket and produced a vial of dark liquid. "My blood. Run the test yourself."Mara clung to my leg, her breath hot through my torn pants. Lena stirred in Jeff's arms, her blue eyes foggy with sleep. The weight of their trust—their need—pressed down on me like stone.Nolan snatched the vial. "What's your real play here, Doctor?""Same as yours." Saskia's gaze never left my face. "To protect my child."A gust of wind rattled the tunnel's ancient beams. Somewhere above us, the ryokan groaned.Jeff shifted Lena to one arm, his free hand finding my lower back. "Demi..."I knew that tone. The one that said this is a trap. The one that usually preceded gunfire.But Mara's tiny

The child's laughter echoed through the ryokan like wind chimes in a storm. She couldn't be real—this tiny girl with Jeff's eyes and my nose, barefoot in a yukata three sizes too big. Yet when she grabbed my hand, her fingers were warm."Lena missed you," she chirped, dragging me across the threshold.Jeff's knife clattered to the wooden floor.The interior was a time capsule—faded crayon drawings under plexiglass, a child-sized kotatsu with half-finished origami, a wall of photos showing a progression that made my stomach twist: Jeff holding an infant. Jeff teaching a toddler to walk. Jeff asleep on the tatami with a dark-haired girl curled on his chest.All with dates from fifteen years ago.Nolan leaned against the doorframe. "Memory suppression works both ways, brother. You trained her. Loved her. Then forgot her."Lena tugged me toward a sliding door. "Come see!"The room beyond was a laboratory disguised as a playroom. A IV drip hung beside a dollhouse. A biometric scanner was e

The safehouse shower ran scarlet for twenty minutes before the water cleared. I scrubbed until my skin burned, but the smell of smoke and antiseptic clung to me like a second skin.Jeff waited by the boarded-up window, his silhouette painted in streetlight and shadow. He'd been silent since Geneva, letting me process in that infuriating way of his—all quiet understanding and watchful eyes.I tugged the stolen journal from my duffel. The leather cover stuck to my damp fingers. "We need to talk about what's in here."Jeff took it like it might detonate, flipping to the marked page with careful precision. His eyes scanned Voss's neat handwriting, then froze.*"Subject D-28 shows promising adaptation to the genetic modifications. Unlike previous iterations, this one displays emotional resilience. The soldier assigned to her training—Lieutenant J. Ryans—has proven unexpectedly effective at establishing trust."*Jeff's throat worked. "That's not my name."I turned the page. A photograph flu

The keycard burned in my pocket as we sped toward Geneva in a stolen Audi. Rain streaked the windshield in silver ribbons, blurring the city lights into smears of color. Jeff hadn’t spoken since we’d left Zurich, his jaw set in a hard line as he navigated the winding roads.I traced the edge of the birth certificate I’d stolen from the wreckage—my birth certificate, with a date that shouldn’t exist. The paper was worn soft at the creases, as if someone had unfolded and refolded it a thousand times.Jeff’s fingers tightened on the wheel. “You don’t have to do this.”The unspoken please hung between us.I tucked the certificate back into my jacket. “Yes, I do.”The lab was hidden beneath a nondescript biotech firm on the outskirts of Geneva. Nolan’s keycard got us past the first security checkpoint, but the real test came at the retinal scanner beside the elevator.Jeff exhaled sharply. “You’re really going through with this.”I pressed my eye to the scanner. “You don’t have to come.”T

The photograph trembled in my hands as Jeff pulled me through the chalet's back kitchen. Snow lashed against the windows like frantic ghosts."Jeff—stop!" I wrenched free, my boots sliding on the marble. "Did you see that date?"His face was all sharp angles in the emergency lighting. "I saw a staged photo."A door creaked upstairs. Nolan's voice carried down the spiral staircase: "She deserves to know why her DNA was on file before she was born!"Jeff's fingers found mine, warm and rough. "We're leaving. Now."The garage door groaned open to reveal a vintage snowcat, its yellow paint peeling. Jeff hotwired it with practiced ease as I climbed into the passenger seat."You knew." My voice sounded hollow. "All this time, you knew."The engine roared to life. Jeff's knuckles whitened on the wheel. "Not everything."We plowed through snowdrifts, the chalet shrinking in the rearview mirror. The storm swallowed the road whole, reducing the world to white noise and the pounding of my heart.
