Scarlett:Pov

The room was ice cold.

Scarlett stood frozen at the doorway, staring at the boy in the chair.

Young Dominic.

No older than sixteen.

His dark hair fell over his forehead, damp with sweat.

His hands were strapped to the metal armrests.

Wires ran from his temples into the glowing machine behind him.

His face was pale.

Terrified.

And yet there was still a spark of defiance in his eyes.

Scarlett's chest tightened painfully.

This was where it began.

The breaking.

The shaping.

The pain Ev

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BROKEN HEIR   Break Me Free

    Scarlett:PovThe black crystal pulsed in the center of the collapsing room.Dark.Alive.Like a heart made from pain.Scarlett stood frozen for one terrible second.Evelyn's final warning echoed through the falling walls.If you break it… you may never find your way back.Her breath caught.The white room around them was cracking apart, pieces of memory shattering into streams of blue light.The younger Dominic was gone.Freed.Only Scarlett and the present Dominic remained inside the collapsing machine.His eyes locked onto hers. "Scarlett."His voice was low.Careful.As if he already knew what she was thinking.Her heart pounded.If this crystal was the master command, then destroying it would sever the control system completely.It would free Dominic.It would stop the transfer.It would end Project Dawn.But at what cost?Her way back.Her life.Her future.A thousand thoughts crashed through her mind.Then Dominic stepped closer. "You can't do this."Her breath trembled. "Why?"

    Scarlett:PovThe machine screamed.Blue light cracked across the digital chamber like lightning.Scarlett's breath hitched.No.Not Dominic.Not him.Evelyn's laugh echoed through the corridor, cold and victorious."If not you…"Her voice curled through the system like smoke."…then him."Scarlett's chest tightened painfully. "No!"She rushed toward the crystal again, but the floor beneath her split apart into glowing lines of code.A barrier rose between her and the root core.Transparent.Shimmering.Unbreakable.On the other side, the crystal pulsed faster.Scarlett slammed both palms against it. "Stop!"The barrier sent a violent shock through her hands.She gasped and stumbled back.The machine was protecting the transfer.Protecting Dominic.No.No, no, no.In the real world, Dominic's body jerked violently beside the neural chair.His eyes widened.Scarlett could hear his voice through the fading connection. "Victor!"Then static.Victor's face darkened as the monitors flashed

"She planned this from the start."Victor let out a slow breath, one hand still pressed to his side. "The campus network connects to every building."Julian's face darkened. "Dormitories, labs, security systems, digital records…"Camille's eyes widened. "And student IDs."Scarlett's pulse slammed against her ribs.Thousands of students.All connected.All vulnerable.Luna's voice trembled. "She could use the entire campus as a live system."Silence.Because they all knew what that meant.This was no longer about hidden labs and secret archives.This was about e

"You don't have to go first."Despite everything, Scarlett gave the faintest smile. "I'm not scared of dark staircases anymore."Julian let out a breath that almost sounded like a laugh. "After everything tonight, that's what you're brave about?"Victor shot him a look. "Focus."Luna stood close to Scarlett's other side.Her face was pale, but there was a new strength in her eyes. "I know this place."Scarlett turned to her. "You've been down there?"Luna nodded slowly. "Once."Her voice lowered. "They took me there when they started the conditioning."Scarlett's chest tightened.This building had stole
