POV: Elena

The cold wind coming off the river whipped my wet hair across my face. I kept my hands steady on the rifle, my eyes locked on the driver's window.

"Step out of the van!" I yelled into the megaphone, my voice tearing through the sound of the rain. "Do it now or I will fire into your engine!"

"Dr. Lin, you are committing a federal crime," Logan muttered from the driver's seat of the armored truck beneath me, his eyes darting to the side mirrors. "If they call for backup, we have about

    POV: Elena"Don't move a single inch!" I yelled.I scrambled up off the floor of the lift, shoving Maya and Leo behind my back while keeping my body pressed flat against Alexander's broad side. My hand reached for the pistol at my hip, but my holster was completely empty, torn away during the elevator fight.Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass, the glowing blue curve of Earth sat framed against absolute, pitch-black space. The sight made my stomach flip upside down. We weren't in Switzerland. We were floating miles above the atmosphere in a metal coffin."Put your hands down, Dr. Lin," President Vance said, taking a calm sip from his glass. "There are no guards in this room. No shock batons. No proxy soldiers. Just me, you, and the man you think you saved.""Where are my children's incubators?" Alexander growled, taking a heavy, lethal step out of the lift.His bare, bloodied chest rose and fell in short, furious hitches. The cobalt-blue web lines on his neck were pulsing red now, a da

    POV: Alexander"You aren't my baseline," I growled, taking a massive step over Skylar's bleeding body on the white tile floor.I didn't give him time to raise the silver revolver again. I drove my left shoulder straight into President Vance's chest, taking us both crashing through the reinforced glass partition into the outer corridor.The heavy glass exploded around us in a roaring shower of sharp green shards.I pinned him flat against the damp concrete floor, my right fist smashing straight into his jaw, snapping his teeth sideways. "I tore my own mind out of the silver lock to stay with her! You think a Forty-Year tag frightens me?""It doesn't... frighten you, Alexander..." President Vance wheezed, blood spraying from his broken mouth as his fingers clawed frantically at my bare, bloodied forearms. "Because you... still think you're the one holding the gun...""Alex, look out!" Elena screamed from inside the vault doorway.I cut my eyes sideways just as two heavy tactical guards

  • THE BILLIONAIRE’S UNWANTED HEIR.   Chapter 51 : The Firstborn Blood.

    POV: Elena"Maya?" The name tore out of my chest like a jagged piece of glass.I didn't care about the five hundred clones slamming against the iron blast doors outside. I dropped both incubators onto the padded deck, scrambling forward on my hands and knees across the cold white tile. Tears blinded my eyes, hot and heavy, blurring the tiny face staring back at me."Stay back, Elena!" Sarah Lin ordered, pulling a small black trigger from her pocket and holding her thumb over the red button. "You take one more step and the neural fuse in her collar fires!""Touch her and I tear your heart out with my bare hands," Alexander's voice echoed behind me, low, terrifying, and shaking with pure, unadulterated fury.He didn't stay behind the door frame. He stepped into the white vault like an armored demon, covered in black soot, green chemical residue, and fresh blood. His massive body blocked the entrance, his dark brown eyes locked onto Sarah Lin with a lethal, predatory promise."Look at he

    POV: Elena"Get back!" Alexander yelled.He shoved his shoulder against the heavy steel mesh hatch on the elevator roof, kicking the iron latch until it snapped with a sharp crack.I scrambled down into the lift cabin right behind him, cradling one incubator while he carried the other, Leo dropping light on his feet between us. My eyes swept across the vast, freezing underground chamber, and my stomach plummeted into a cold, bottomless pit.Dozens of floor-to-ceiling glass tanks stretched out in endless rows into the dim red darkness. Inside every single one, suspended in green liquid, was my face. My body. My exact jawline, my hair, my hands. Hundreds of copies, completely motionless, eyes closed, floating like dead fish in a net."Alex..." my voice cracked, my fingers gripping the handle of my baby's pod until my knuckles turned white. "Tell me I'm dreaming. Please tell me I'm dreaming.""You're not dreaming, Dr. Lin," President Vance said from across the central walkway.He stood b

  • THE BILLIONAIRE’S UNWANTED HEIR.   Chapter 49 : The Silver Lock.

    POV: Elena"Alex, stop!" I screamed, pulling against his grip with everything I had left.His hand felt like a cold iron cuff around my wrist. The skin of his palm was burning hot, but his eyes were completely dead, bright silver without a single fleck of the dark brown I loved."I asked you a question," he said. His voice was flat, totally devoid of emotion, like a machine running a cold diagnostic loop. "Identify yourself.""I'm your wife!" Tears burst from my eyes, freezing instantly against my cheeks as the howling arctic wind whipped my hair across my face. "Look at me, Alex! Look at Leo! Look at the babies!"He didn't look at the incubators. He didn't even glance toward Leo, who was standing three feet away with his small hands clenched into tight fists. Alexander just stared at my face, his silver eyes scanning my nose, my mouth, and my jawline like he was reading text on a glass monitor."File not found," he muttered softly.He didn't shove me. He didn't hit me. He just opened

  • THE BILLIONAIRE’S UNWANTED HEIR.   Chapter 48 : The Ghost In the Snow.

    POV: Elena"I said put the gun down!" I screamed, my fingers slipping on the freezing steel trigger.The wind howled across the white wasteland, dragging sheets of snow over Alexander's still body. I kept one knee planted firmly against his hip, my other foot braced in the ice, standing over him like a feral animal shielding its mate. Behind me, Leo held both incubators tight against his chest, his small frame trembling inside his coat."You think a bullet stops me, decoy?" the woman in the fur coat laughed, taking another slow, heavy step forward. "Look at your husband's face. Look at his neck. The neural circuit didn't fail because of the blast. It expired because its timer ran out.""He's not dead!" I shrieked.I didn't waste another word. I pulled the trigger.BANG.The heavy slug tore straight through her left shoulder, spinning her backward into the snowbank. She let out a sharp grunt, but she didn't scream. She didn't drop. She pushed herself up from the red-stained snow, her f
