The Daughter of the Shadow

The silence inside the library of Thorne Manor was suffocating, as if the oxygen in the room had just been sucked away by a horrifying reality.

Liora stared at the DNA test results Isabella had thrown at her, her hands trembling violently.

The black letters on the white paper looked like wriggling worms burrowing into her mind, poisoning every beautiful memory she had just built with Mavric.

  • THE BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN BRIDE: Reborn for Revenge    CHAPTER 180

    The Bloody ThroneThe Shard stood towering and arrogant, piercing London’s grey clouds a glass spear symbolizing absolute power. On the 72nd floor, in the boardroom surrounded by a 360-degree view of the city, the atmosphere was colder than the air at that altitude. Twenty of the most influential figures in Europe’s financial industry sat around a massive mahogany table. At the head of the table sat Damian, clad in a flawless charcoal-grey suit, a faint smile radiating the confidence of a winner who already held every ace in the deck."Our time is nearly up, gentlemen," Damian said, his voice smooth yet laced with forced authority. "Mavric Thorne has failed in his duties. He allowed personal emotions to endanger our assets in Switzerland and London. Pursuant to emergency clauses, I call for a vote to remove him permanently."The directors whispered among themselves. Most had been bribed or threatened by Konstantin through Damian. But just before the gavel could strike, the double

    The Shadow of the ReplacementThe London sky looked like a gloomy grey canvas as Mavric Thorne’s private jet touched down at Farnborough private airport. There was no red carpet welcome this time. Instead, there was a line of black bulletproof SUVs and dozens of fully armed security personnel led by Sebastian Vane. Mavric stepped down the aircraft stairs, carrying Liora wrapped in a thick wool blanket. Although Liora’s condition had stabilized after receiving the catalyst in Zurich, Mavric refused to let his wife’s feet touch the asphalt."Take her to the Mayfair mansion. Prepare a Level 1 medical team to monitor her heartbeat every second," Mavric ordered, his voice cold and sharp as a blade's edge.Liora tried to pull away slightly from Mavric’s embrace. "Alex, I can walk on my own. I feel much better."Instead, Mavric tightened his hold, his eyes gazing at her with an intensity of possessiveness that was almost suffocating. "No, Liora. You have just returned from the brink of d

    The Covenant Written in BloodThe air inside the underground Zurich laboratory was as freezing as the ice covering the Alps outside. Flickering neon lights cast an eerie glow over the confrontation between two powerful men in the shadows of the corporate world. Mavric Thorne stood firm, his weapon still aimed at the man claiming to be Marcus Valerius."Lower your gun, Mavric. You don't want your hand shaking when you inject this catalyst into your wife's body, do you?" Marcus Valerius spoke in a calm yet intimidating voice. He raised the vial containing the glowing blue liquid the only hope for Liora’s survival.Cold sweat trickled down Mavric’s back. His possessiveness over Liora made him feel as though his heart was being crushed. On the lab table, Liora breathed in short, ragged gasps, her heart rate monitor showing a rhythm slowing to a dangerous halt."What do you want, Marcus? If you are truly her uncle, you wouldn't let her die," Mavric growled.Marcus laughed, a dry sound t

    Ground Zero in the AlpsThe roar of the Thorne Group’s private Gulfstream G650 jet engines thundered at 40,000 feet, cutting through the darkness of night toward Zurich, Switzerland. Inside the luxurious cabin, the atmosphere was far from calm. The cabin lights were dimmed, leaving only the glow of medical monitors connected to Liora’s body.Mavric Thorne sat beside the emergency medical bed set up in the center of the cabin. His face, usually radiating authority, now looked gaunt. Dark circles hung under his eyes, and his black shirt was disheveled, stained with sweat and dust from the battle at the Tower of London. He held Liora’s hand, which felt ice-cold, occasionally kissing her knuckles with a desperation he never showed to the world."Her body temperature has dropped again to 34 degrees Celsius, Sir," reported Dr. Aris, Mavric’s personal trusted physician who had just joined them in London. "Her nervous system is shutting down. If we do not find the antidote or the recovery

    The Labyrinth of the Blood TowerA light drizzle began to dampen the ancient stones of the Tower of London, a fortress that had witnessed thousands of years of betrayal and executions. Under the cover of darkness, the shadow of the White Tower loomed like a giant watching over the River Thames. To Mavric Thorne, this place was no longer merely a historical site; it was the arena where he would retrieve his mother or end the Konstantin bloodline forever.Mavric checked his weapon magazine one last time. He wore a fitted black carbon tactical suit, designed to absorb light. Beside him, Liora stood with a gaze just as sharp. Although Mavric had insisted she stay in hiding, Liora flatly refused. She knew that only her mind could hack the ancient security systems modified by The Labyrinth."Two locations, Alex. Westminster is the bait to draw the national security forces, while the Tower of London is where they keep their valuable 'assets'," Liora whispered through the encrypted commun

    The Siege of Canary WharfStrong winds blew from the direction of the River Thames, carrying the cold scent of brackish water onto the balcony of the 45th-floor penthouse. London below looked like a giant, pulsating electronic circuit, but to Mavric Thorne, every streetlight now felt like the eyes of an enemy watching him. After Eleanor was taken or "rescued" by Konstantin’s units the previous night, Canary Wharf was no longer merely a financial center; it had become a besieged fortress.Mavric stood in the central control room, staring at rows of monitors displaying the building's perimeter. He was no longer dressed casually; he wore a tactical vest beneath his black shirt, and a weapon holster was strapped to his thigh. His face, usually handsome and arrogant, was now hardened, his jaw set firmly."They have cut off our logistics access at the private dock," Sebastian Vane reported through his headset. "London police are busy with an 'emergency drill' in Westminster, which means

    Shadows of the White PhoenixThe night before the Azure Gala was supposed to be a night of calm for Liora Thorne. Yet calm was a luxury she no longer possessed. Behind the tightly locked laboratory door, Liora sat surrounded by the blue glow of dozens of holographic monitors floating in the air.

    The King’s DeclarationThe storm that lashed the city overnight left the morning air damp and cool at Thorne Manor. Yet the temperature in Mavric’s private library was far more frigid. Beatrice Thorne stood in the middle of the room; her usually haughty face looked wilted, with lines of exhaustio

    The Emerald ViperThe morning sun at Thorne Manor had never felt so cold. Though golden light streamed through the crystal windows of the main dining hall, the atmosphere around the long table felt like a frozen battlefield. Liora sat to Mavric’s right the seat legally hers by right but at the fa
