POV: Elena

The freezing impact of the river hit my skin like thousands of needles.

Darkness swallowed me instantly, the roaring sound of the gas explosion muffled by tons of rushing water above. The current was an absolute monster, pulling my body down into the black void. My lungs burned, my instincts screaming for air, but my only thought was the double pulse in my womb.

Suddenly, a massive, powerful hand grabbed my upper arm.

Alexander.

Even in the pitch-black current, he found me. He pulled

    POV: Alexander"Pressure! Mark, give me the trauma pack now!"I threw myself onto the floorboards of the inflatable boat, my knees slamming into the hard plastic ribs as the dark red pool expanded under Elena. I stripped off my heavy wool jacket, rolling it into a tight ball, and jammed it hard against her thighs. My hands were immediately covered in her blood, hot and terrifying against my freezing skin."Alex," Elena choked out, her head thrashing against the wet rubber, her teeth clicking together so violently she could barely form the words. "The numbers... look at the watch... they are dropping too fast...""Don't look at the watch!" I roared, my palm pressing down with all my weight, my chest heaving as the rain beat down on us. "Look at me! Keep your eyes on my face, Elena! You are not dying here! Mark, where is that damn medicine?""The silver launch is coming back!" Leo shrieked from the bow, his tiny arms wrapped around the radar console as the boat rocked violently in the f

    POV: Alexander"What do you mean it is inside you?" I demanded, my hands tightening around her shoulders as the crimson target lasers painted our bodies in a bloody light.The roar of the incoming fighter jets was splitting the sky, the vibration rattling the metal grating beneath our boots. The navy battlecruisers were positioning their main cannons right at our crane."The matrix, Alex," Elena gasped, her fingers shaking as she jammed the micro-SIM card deeper into Leo's digital watch. The small screen instantly flashed with a gold sequence code that began to rapidly stream lines of data across the display. "My mother didn't hide me from Nathaniel just to save my life. She used her own body to synthesize the original antigen. When I injected the Swiss formula into my veins three weeks ago, it didn't just target Leo's marrow. It unlocked the dormant sequence she left in my DNA.""The viral leak downtown," I said, looking toward the smoking green haze of the financial district. "It's

    POV: Alexander"Elena! Elena, look at me!" I screamed, my voice tearing through the sound of the rain as I caught her falling body.Her skin went instantly cold, her limbs stiffening in my arms as the continuous beep of Leo's watch monitor pierced the night. I fell to my knees on the iron grating, pulling her head up against my chest. Her lips were turning an ashen gray, her dark eyes rolled back."Mom! Mom, wake up!" Leo shrieked, throwing his small body over her legs, his tiny hands desperately shaking her knees. "Dad, make her wake up!""Mark!" I roared into my earpiece, my hand crushing the fabric of Elena's wet shirt as I pressed my ear against her chest. Nothing. No thumping. No double pulse from the twins. Absolute silence. "Mark, get the medical team up here now! She's flatlining! The cytotoxin is shutting down her heart!""The elevators are jammed from the explosion, Chairman!" Mark's voice cracked through the static, sounding completely desperate. "The stairs are flooded! Yo

    POV: Alexander"I will rip your head off before that transmission reaches the coast," I growled, my fingers sinking deeper into the soft flesh of Nathaniel's neck. His heels were dangling over the edge of the iron crane platform, hundreds of feet above the churning black whirlpool of the destroyed vault."Alex, stop!" Elena screamed, her hands slamming against my shoulder blades, trying to haul my weight backward. "Look at Leo's watch! The countdown has already started! Thirty seconds!"Nathaniel didn't gasp for air. He didn't even claw at my wrists. His old, wrinkled face just twisted into a disgusting, confident grin as his eyes locked onto mine. "Go ahead, boy. Squeeze. Your wife loses her father, your son loses his marrow match, and your corporate charter defaults to the Swiss cartel by midnight. We all go down together.""Alex, please!" Elena's voice broke, her body shuddering against my back as she squeezed between me and the rusty iron rail. "Let him go! We can't let them kill

    POV: Alexander"Step into the cabin, Elena," I muttered, my voice flat, my left hand already dropping the crowbar and reaching for the throttle of the hidden harbor launch tied to the lower pylon.Eleanor West didn't lower her rifle. The red laser dot stayed glued right to Leo's chest, right where his little heart was slamming against his ribs. "Don't move that throttle, Alex. My finger is already at the pressure point. One click and the boy's chest cavity collapses.""You won't shoot," Elena said, stepping squarely into the path of the beam. She didn't look at the gun. She looked directly into Eleanor's cold, calculating eyes. "If you kill Leo, the biometric registry for the Astorian treaty shuts down permanently. Your family becomes worthless to the ministry by midnight.""I don't need the treaty anymore, Dr. Lin," Eleanor sneered, her silver hair whipping around her face as the yacht's engine backwash hit the concrete wall. "Diana Sterling just bought my family's remaining debt in

    POV: Elena"You are a monster," I whispered.My hands shook so hard against Leo's back that he whimpered, burying his small face deeper into my neck. The concrete beneath my feet felt like ice, the rain washing the soot down my legs. I stared at the old man in the brown coat. The obsidian eyes were exactly like Alexander's, but there was no soul behind them.Nathaniel Vance took a slow step forward, his leather shoes clicking against the wet rooftop. "Science is not monstrous, Elena. It is efficient. Your father, Arthur, thought he was clever by hiding you. But he was just managing my greenhouse. Every single piece of data you processed in Switzerland was fed directly to my technicians.""Get behind me," Alexander said.His voice didn't shake. He didn't look at the helicopters or the burning metal behind us. He just stepped sideways, his massive chest blocking Nathaniel from my sight. His hand reached back, his fingers locking onto my wrist with a grip so tight it cut off my circulati
