The elevator slowly ascends, floor by floor, and every second spent in this metal box resonates like torture. I feel my own heart pounding against my ribs, heavy, chaotic. My fingers are clenched around the cold railing, as if I must hold on to it to avoid bursting with rage or fear.

The top floor.

The one where only those who cannot be mixed with the rest of the world are welcomed. The floor of the founders, the powerful, those who must be hidden, protected… or monitored.

I think of my sister, Lyra.

Her name echoes in my head like a war drum. She is alive. She is breathing. And that is all that matters.

But when the doors open, a wave of smells assaults me: dried blood, disinfectant, iodine… I close my eyes for a moment, to prevent the rage from exploding now. Two guards in black suits are waiting for me, positioned in front of the large double door. They immediately lower their eyes and step aside, as if they understood that I am not in the mood to tolerate a single word.

  • Remember me naked   Chapter 82— The Weight of Evidence

    LyraI thought the storm had calmed after my parents' anger. But barely a few hours had passed before it rumbled again. The air in my room is heavy, saturated with electric tension. Lucas remains silent beside me, his eyes fixed on the door as if waiting for a verdict.My mother enters first. She has that hard, icy expression I have dreaded since childhood.— There is no room for doubt, she says. We are going to prove that you did nothing.I look at her in confusion.— Mom…She does not listen to me. My father arrives behind her, a block of contained anger, his phone still in hand. It looks like he just made a call that changed everything.— We spoke to the chief doctor, he begins, and we demanded that comprehensive tests be done.— Tests? I repeat, confused.— Not just for you, he says. For Cassandre too.I feel my breath catch.— Why… Cassandre?Lucas speaks up, his voice lower but full of gravity.— Because we need to know if she… caused the loss of her child.These words resonate

  • Remember me naked   Chapter 81 — The Truths That Tear

    LyraThe room seems to shrink around me. Every sound is amplified: the hum of machines, distant footsteps in the hallway, my own short and irregular breath. Lucas doesn’t take his eyes off me, as if he’s waiting for the precise moment to speak. I feel him hesitating, weighing his words, and that chills me even more than the silence.— Lyra, you need to know something, he finally says, in a low voice.His tone is serious, so serious that my heart tightens immediately.— What? What is it?He briefly looks away, runs a hand over his face as if to chase away a shadow. Then his words fall, relentless:— Cassandre… she lost the baby.The world stops, everything stops, my breathing, the beating of my heart, my thoughts. I feel like the ground is giving way beneath me as I am pinned to this bed.— No… no, Lucas… tell me it’s not true…I shake my head, my hands trembling with all their might. My eyes desperately search for a sign in his, a glimmer that would contradict his words. But Lucas rem

  • Remember me naked   Chapter 80 — Where Everything Collapses

    LyraA dull thud. Then another.My breath is heavy, as if I am fighting against an invisible sea. My whole body is numb, as if wrapped in a veil of cotton. I feel like I am floating, far from the world, trapped in a dream that clings to me. Yet, a voice pierces this fog. A voice that cuts through the darkness. A voice I would recognize among a thousand.— Lyra… my little sister…Lucas, my mind fights to surface, but my eyelids are heavy as lead. Something grips my hand. A vibrant warmth, almost burning, that pulls me from the drift. I cling to this contact as if it were a lifeline. Then, slowly, a breath passes over my lips, and my eyes open to a ceiling that is too white, too bright, assaulting my retina.The first thing I see is Lucas's face. His features are drawn, his eyes circled with shadow, his lips pressed together as if holding back a scream. And yet, he is alive, right there, just a few centimeters away.— Lucas…?My voice is a hoarse whisper, strangled. My throat is dry, my

  • Remember me naked   Chapter 79 — Where the World Tips

    LucasI don’t know how long I stay there, frozen, listening to Lyra's irregular breathing, my hand tightly clasped around hers. Time dilates. All I feel is this overwhelming weight in my chest, this rage simmering, ready to tear me apart from the inside. I feel the burn rising in my throat, but I don’t let go. I can’t. Not now.I slowly pull out my phone. My fingers tremble, not from fear but from too many intertwined emotions: anger, worry, a pain I hadn’t anticipated. I find my parents' number and press it.Three rings. Then my father's deep, familiar voice:— Lucas?I grit my teeth.— It’s Lyra. She… she’s in the hospital, but…A heavy silence falls on the other end.— But what? my mother replies, her voice pale, already trembling.I take a sharp breath, unable to say everything in one breath.— She’s pregnant, three months along.A crash is heard on the phone, as if my mother dropped something. My father doesn’t speak right away. When he resumes, his voice has that steely tone he

  • Remember me naked   Chapter 77 — Where Jealousy Ignites

    CassandraThe smell of hospital corridors is always the same: a mix of antiseptic, cheap medications, and fear that clings to the skin. The white walls, the flickering fluorescent lights like tired eyes, the hurried footsteps of nurses… Everything annoys me. Everything exhausts me. But tonight, there is something else. A tension that makes the air heavier, as if the entire building is holding its breath.I am sitting on the bed, my leg in a cast, my hair pulled back into a messy bun. The television mounted on the wall in front of me continuously broadcasts the news. The voices of the journalists form a background noise that I do not pay attention to. Until that name shatters the silence: Belval.My heart skips a beat. My fingers tighten on the rough hospital sheet. I suddenly lift my eyes to the screen.Lucas Belval.He is there, live. In front of a tide of microphones, cameras, flashes assaulting him like a storm. His dark suit, perfectly tailored, contrasts with his tense face, his
