Savage Reborn: Dumped Him to Marry the Billionaire Chapter 136
Neo-Veridia. Sector 4. Outside Hale Tower.Monday. 9:00 AM.The rain in this city didn't wash things clean. It just made the grime slicker.Vesper Thorne stood on the sidewalk, looking up at the monolithic steel spire of Hale Corp. He was soaking wet. His black hair was plastered to his forehead, and his trench coat—the only thing he had managed to salvage from his previous life—was heavy with water.He caught his reflection in the glass of the revolving doors.He looked like a tragedy waiting for a headline. High cheekbones, dark eyes that held too much shadow, and a mouth that naturally rested in a cynical smirk. He was handsome. Painfully so. It was the kind of face that made waitresses drop trays and made rich women open their checkbooks.It was also the face of a dead man.Vesper touched his chest. Under the damp shirt, his heart was beating.Thump. Thump.Yesterday, it had stopped.He remembered the screech of tires. He remembered the feeling of the guardrail giving way. He reme

The Grand Hotel Roof. Sector 1 (Past).October 14, 2024. 11:55 PM.The wind on the roof was strong enough to peel the paint off the ventilation units.Above the helipad, the sky was tearing open. A swirling vortex of violet and blue energy crackled, spitting sparks onto the wet concrete. It looked less like a science experiment and more like a hole in the universe."Stability is dropping!" Lyra shouted over the roar of the wind, clutching her laptop (which she had stolen back from the office). "We have thirty seconds before the window closes! If we miss it, we're stuck in 2024 forever!""I can't stay in 2024!" Leo yelled, holding his white dinner jacket closed against the rain. "The internet speed is garbage and I haven't invented my skincare line yet!""Jump!" Altair commanded, pushing them toward the swirling light. "On my mark! Three... two..."CLANG.The heavy steel access door behind them swung open.Altair froze. He spun around, putting himself between the portal and the intrude

The Grand Hotel. Staff Break Room.October 14, 2024. 11:30 PM.The party was raging three floors up, but down here, in the concrete bowels of the hotel, it was quiet.The break room smelled of stale coffee and industrial cleaner. A single fluorescent light flickered with a maddening bzzt-bzzt rhythm.Oryn sat on a folding metal chair. He was alone.He wasn't eating. He wasn't on his phone. He held a six-inch tactical combat knife in one hand and a whetstone in the other.Shhhk. Shhhk. Shhhk.The sound was rhythmic. Meditative. It was the only music Oryn understood.At twenty-eight years old, Oryn was already a legend in the underworld, but a ghost in the real one. He had no friends. He had no family. He had Cyprian Hale, who treated him like a dangerous but valuable tool.Oryn was fine with that. Tools didn't get their hearts broken. Tools didn't get lonely.The door creaked open.Oryn didn't look up, but his grip on the knife shifted. He calculated the distance to the door. Twelve fe

The Grand Hotel Ballroom. Sector 1.The Founders’ Gala.October 14, 2024. 10:00 PM.The ballroom was a sea of black ties and fake smiles. A string quartet played something inoffensive in the corner, drowned out by the clinking of champagne flutes and the murmur of corporate gossip.Standing by the shrimp tower, three figures in pristine evening wear surveyed the room.Altair wore a midnight-blue tuxedo that fit too perfectly for a mere bodyguard. Lyra wore a sharp black pantsuit with her hair slicked back. Leo wore a white dinner jacket, looking like a spy from an old movie.They each tapped their discreet earpieces—stolen from the Hale Armory an hour ago."Comms check," Altair whispered. "Status report.""Target Alpha (Dad) is by the bar, drinking scotch and glaring at anyone who comes within five feet," Lyra reported, adjusting her glasses. "Target Beta (Mom) is near the terrace doors, looking like she wants to stab someone with a cocktail stick.""And the vibe?" Leo asked, popping

Sector 4. The Alley.October 14, 2024. 8:15 PM.The switchblade was steady. The hand holding it was shaking, just barely, but the eyes behind it were dead calm."I asked a question," Young Vespera hissed. Rain dripped from her nose. "Who sent you? Was it Lysander? Did he hire a boy band to ambush me?"Leo, Altair, and Lyra stood in the dumpster, hands raised."Boy band?" Leo whispered, offended. "I mean, I have the range, but...""Shut up, Leo," Altair hissed. He stepped forward, putting himself between the knife and his siblings."We aren't with Lysander," Altair said calmly, using his 'Boardroom Voice'. "We're... independent contractors.""Contractors," Vespera repeated, eyeing Altair’s ruined three-piece suit. "You're wearing Italian silk in a garbage pile. You look like you fell out of a magazine that fell into a sewer.""It's a bold fashion statement," Lyra offered, adjusting her glasses. "Derelicte chic."Vespera narrowed her eyes. She looked at Altair. Then she looked at Leo.S

Hale Science Division. Sector 1 (Deep R&D).Sunday. 2:00 PM."I bet I can see Dad's mullet with this," Leo Hale said, leaning dangerously close to the containment field."Dad never had a mullet," Lyra replied, her fingers flying across a holographic keyboard. "He had a 'tactical mane.' There is a distinction.""Whatever. It was tragic," Leo insisted. "Crank it up. I want to see the 90s in 4K resolution."The Twins were currently standing in the center of the Forbidden Lab—the one Vespera had explicitly locked with a bio-metric seal that Lyra had bypassed in under three minutes.Between them hovered a cube of pulsating blue light.The Quantum Viewer.It was supposed to be a passive observation device—a window into the past using residual light particles trapped in the atmosphere. A glorified history channel."The stabilizer is at 80%," Lyra noted, taking a sip of her hazelnut latte. "If we push it to 100%, the temporal feedback might liquify our internal organs.""Details," Leo waved h
