POV: Alexander

"What do you mean they're gone?" I roared.

The wind off the bay slammed against my bare, bleeding chest, but I couldn't feel the cold. I couldn't feel the steel of the submarine deck beneath my boots or the ten tactical rifles pointed directly at my head. I only felt the hollow, terrifying emptiness where Elena's body was collapsing in my arms.

"They're gone, Alex," Elena choked out, her face completely ghost-white, her fingers digging so deep into my shoulders her nails tore the

    POV: Alexander"You should have died in the river, Mark," I said, my voice low and dark as I pulled my hand away from Elena's bleeding palm.I didn't reach for a gun. I stepped right in front of the two glowing blue incubators, my body forming a solid wall between the camera lens on the wall and my family. The sub rocked hard under my boots, the heavy diesel auxiliary generators humming in the floorboards."I don't die easily, Chairman," Mark's voice crackled through the PA speaker, smooth and completely distant. "You know how the Cartel operates. We don't take sides in family rivalries. We simply collect the assets when the dust settles. You have fifteen seconds left on that timer.""Mark, look at me," Elena called out, stepping up right beside my elbow. Her left hand was wrapped in a strip of torn fabric from her shirt, fresh blood soaking through the cloth, but her posture was rigid. "You worked in my lab in Zurich for two years. You know the biological structure of those pods. If

    POV: Alexander"Put the gun down, old man," I growled, taking one heavy step toward him, my body positioning itself right between his gun barrel and my son.My knuckles were split wide open, blood dripping onto the steel floor, but I didn't feel it. I only saw the red flashing lights of the incubators behind me. The synthetic fluid was almost completely gone from the pods. The tiny hearts on the monitor screen were spattering into irregular, dying rhythms."Don't move, Alexander!" Nathaniel shrieked, his hands trembling so violently the pistol barrel shook in the air. "I built this entire network! I gave you life! I gave you those children! You don't get to walk away with my legacy!""Dad!" Leo screamed, clutching my leg from behind, his small body shivering against my wet trousers."Stay still, Leo," I muttered, my left hand reaching down to lock around my son's shoulder, holding him flush against the back of my thigh. "He isn't shooting anyone.""I will put a bullet through his head

    POV: AlexanderMy fingers were buried deep into Vivian's throat. I could feel her windpipe groaning under my palm, her feet kicking wildly against my shins, but I didn't let go."Alex, look at the screen! Let her go!" Elena's voice was a ragged scream behind me. She was on her knees in her own blood, her hands dragging my leg, trying to pull me off. "He's going to kill them!"I looked down at the tablet on the wet steel deck. Lucas was staring straight into the camera lens, his hand hovering over the clear glass pod holding my sons. His thumb was resting right on the plunger of the digital syringe."Three seconds, brother," Lucas's voice came through the small tablet speaker, flat and devoid of any human feeling. "Three. Two..."I shoved Vivian away. She hit the wet submarine deck hard, coughing violently, her hands clutching her neck as she gasped for air."Good choice," Lucas said on the screen, stepping back from the pod. "Now, Commander, clear the deck. Bring Dr. Lin down to the m

"The pulse on my wrist... the double beat... it stopped the second Julian touched that watch.""Step away from the asset, Vance!" the central commander shouted, taking two heavy steps across the wet submarine hull. He racked the bolt of his submachine gun, his eyes cold behind his black tactical visor. "You are an illegal biological vector. The council authorized immediate liquidation!""You shoot him, and I jump into the propellers!" Elena screamed, throwing her frail, bleeding fra

  • THE BILLIONAIRE’S UNWANTED HEIR.   Chapter 21 : The Zero Vector.

    Content Note: Contains intense scenes of medical experimentation and violence.POV: Elena"Get your hand off him!" I screamed, using every single ounce of strength left in my lungs to kick Nathaniel Vance straight in the mouth.My boot hit his jaw with a sick crunch. The old man gasped, losing his grip on Alexander's ankle and tumbling backward into the black river water as our rubber launch sank completely into the churning wake.Alexander didn't care about his grandfather hitting the water. He scrambled up the wet metal incline of the surgical ramp, his large, blood-soaked hands wrapping around my waist, pulling me off the cold steel table and holding me tight against his bare, bruised chest. His heartbeat was a wild, frantic hammering against my ear."Elena, stay still," he panted, his eyes dark with a protective fury as he glared at the woman in the clean medical coat. "Who the hell are you?"My mother didn't flinch as the heavy machine-gun fire from the flagship rattled off the h

    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
