Scarlett:Pov

The gunshot cracked through the server room like thunder.

For one horrifying second, Scarlett could not breathe.

One moment he was beside her.

The next.

He was in front of her.

Shielding her.

A sharp gasp escaped his lips.

The silver drive slipped from his hand and clattered across the floor.

Dominic staggered backward.

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BROKEN HEIR   The Girl With My Face

    Scarlett: Pov Scarlett stared at the screen.Her breath stopped in her throat.The girl in the photograph looked exactly like her.The same dark hair falling over one shoulder.The same sharp eyes.Even the small beauty mark near her jawline.It was like looking into a mirror."No…"The word slipped out as a whisper.Her hands trembled. "This can't be real."Victor replayed the file.The image remained the same.The label beneath it burned into Scarlett's eyes.SUBJECT EIGHT : ACTIVATEDJulian straightened from the doorway, his usual sarcasm gone. "That's… impossible."Camille slowly shook her head. "She looks just like you."Scarlett's chest tightened painfully.Dominic, weak but awake, pushed himself up slightly against the pillows.His voice came out low and rough. "Zoom in."Victor enlarged the image.The girl's face filled the screen.Scarlett took a shaky step backward.No.This wasn't resemblance.This was exact.Like a copy.Like someone had taken her face and given it anothe

    Scarlett: POV "Dominic!"Scarlett dropped to her knees in the middle of the courtyard, catching him before his body hit the ground.The first light of dawn spread across the campus, but to her, the world had gone dark.Blood stained her hands.Her breathing came fast and uneven."Dominic, look at me."Her voice shook.No response.His face had gone pale, the sharp strength in his features replaced by a frightening stillness.Scarlett's chest tightened so hard it hurt.No.He couldn't leave her.Not now.Not after everything.Victor rushed forward first, dropping beside them. "Let me see."Scarlett moved slightly, tears burning in her eyes.Victor pressed his hand near Dominic's wound.His expression hardened. "The bullet went through."Scarlett's pulse quickened. "Is that good?"Julian, breathless from running, crouched on the other side. "It means it didn't stay inside."Camille knelt beside Scarlett and pulled off her jacket. "Press this here."Scarlett obeyed immediately, pressing

    Scarlett PovThe alarm screamed through the vault.Red lights flashed across the walls in sharp, violent bursts.Every second felt louder than the one before.On the wall, the countdown burned in red.VAULT PURGE IN 05:00Then 04:59Scarlett's heart slammed against her ribs.Five minutes.Only five minutes before the entire foundation vault, and every truth hidden inside it,would be destroyed."No."Her voice came out stronger than she expected.She turned to Dominic and her father, eyes blazing with determination. "We are not leaving without the files."Dominic's jaw tightened.For a moment, he studied her face.Then nodded. "Then we move fast."Her father leaned heavily against one of the consoles, breathing unevenly. "The master archive is in the core server room."Scarlett looked at him sharply. "Where?"He pointed toward a dark corridor at the far end of the vault. "Past the original chamber."A chill ran through her.The original chamber.The place where Evelyn's experiment had

    Scarlett:PovThe world disappeared beneath her.Scarlett's scream echoed in the darkness as the floor collapsed.Her hand was locked tightly in Dominic's.The only thing keeping her grounded in the terrifying fall.Then Crash.They hit something hard.Air rushed from Scarlett's lungs.Pain shot through her shoulder as she rolled across a cold metal surface.For a moment, everything went silent.Her ears rang.Her vision blurred.Then slowly, shapes began to return.Darkness.Dust.Broken concrete.And Dominic."Dominic!"Her voice came out hoarse and frightened.He groaned beside her.Alive.Relief crashed through her so hard that tears sprang to her eyes.She crawled to him quickly.His forehead was bleeding slightly, and his breathing was heavy, but when his eyes opened and found hers, Scarlett nearly broke."You're okay."Her voice trembled.A faint smile touched his lips.

"She's forcing the transfer."Scarlett's eyes snapped toward him. "What transfer?"His face darkened. "The board wants to move you to the upper tower."Her breath caught. "The board chamber?"Alexander nodded. "The final extraction room."Her stomach twisted.Everything in her screamed that if she walked into Evelyn's hands willingly, she might never come out.But Dominic…The timer dropped.00:02:42Scarlett rushed to the se
