"...No."

Nathan took an involuntary step back.

  • THE CEO LEFT ME.... THEN CAME BACK BEGGING   CHAPTER 103: DAY TEN

    Darkness swallowed the laboratory.For several seconds, there was nothing.No lights.No alarms.No voices.Only Amelia's breathing.Then Damian's hand found hers."I'm here."She held onto him."I know."A faint emergency light flickered on.Everyone was still there.Bennett.Nathan.Sophie.Adrian.Noah.Evelyn.Clara.Mara.Anastasia.Victor.Even Eleanor.But something had changed.The monitors were no longer displaying the laboratory.Every screen showed the same image.Alexander Hart.Amelia's father.He sat behind a desk.Calm.Composed.Almost as if he had been waiting for this moment.Then the recording began."Amelia."Her chest tightened."My daughter."She stared at the screen.Alexander continued."If you're watching this, then you've discovered the truth I spent your entire life trying to hide."Amelia's eyes filled with tears."Why?"The recording continued."I know you're angry.""I know you believe I betrayed you.""But there are things you still don't understand."Da

    Nobody moved.The name seemed to hang in the laboratory.Victor.Damian stared at the man standing across from him.For years, he had believed his father was dead.He had mourned him.Hated him.Missed him.And now...He was standing right there.Alive.Damian's voice was barely a whisper."You're dead."Victor smiled sadly."I was supposed to be."Damian's jaw tightened."You let me believe you were dead.""I had to.""You all keep saying that."His voice grew louder."Everyone had to lie.""Everyone had to disappear.""Everyone had a reason.""But nobody ever thought about what it did to me."Victor's expression softened."I did.""No."Damian stepped forward."You didn't.""You abandoned me.""I protected you.""You left me alone.""I stayed away because every person who came close to you became a target."Damian laughed bitterly."Then why come back now?"Victor looked toward Amelia."Because the danger has changed."---Bennett raised his weapon."Nobody moves."Victor glanced at

    The locked door clicked open.No one moved.The sound echoed through the medical facility.Once.Twice.Then silence.Amelia stood beside Damian, staring down the corridor.The empty crib inside the glass room suddenly seemed insignificant compared to whatever waited beyond that door.Eleanor stood several feet away, watching them."Go ahead," she said.Damian's eyes narrowed."You first."Eleanor smiled."Still protective.""Always."She stepped aside."I have nothing to hide."Bennett raised his weapon."That's not what I believe."Eleanor ignored him.Her eyes remained on Amelia."You've spent your entire life looking for answers.""Now they're waiting for you."Amelia took a breath.Then she stepped forward.Damian immediately followed.Adrian, Noah, Sophie, Evelyn, Clara, Nathan and Bennett followed behind them.Nobody stayed behind.---The door opened into a long laboratory.Unlike the rest of the facility, this room was remarkably clean.The machines were modern.The computers

  • THE CEO LEFT ME.... THEN CAME BACK BEGGING   CHAPTER 100: THE NEXT PHASE

    The silence inside the aircraft was unbearable.No one moved.No one spoke.The voice had disappeared, but the threat remained.Welcome to the next phase, Amelia.Damian tightened his grip around Amelia's hand."Stay with me.""I'm here."His eyes searched her face."Are you okay?"She nodded."I'm scared.""So am I."He glanced toward her stomach."But we're going to protect him."Amelia looked at him."You keep saying him."Damian smiled faintly."Because I know.""You don't know.""I do."She laughed softly despite everything."How?""Because every time something happens, he kicks."Amelia placed her hand over her stomach.As if responding to Damian's words, the baby moved.Damian smiled."There."Amelia shook her head."You and your son.""Our son."She looked at him."Our son."For a brief moment, the fear disappeared.Then the aircraft shook again.---The pilot's voice came through the intercom."We've restored navigation."Bennett immediately stood."Where is the other aircraf

  • THE CEO LEFT ME.... THEN CAME BACK BEGGING   CHAPTER 99: THE FLIGHT

    The road stretched endlessly beneath the darkness.Inside the vehicle, nobody spoke for several minutes.Everyone was exhausted.But nobody was sleeping.Not after everything they had discovered.Amelia sat beside Damian, one hand resting protectively over her stomach.The baby moved again.She smiled faintly.Damian noticed."Again?"She nodded."He seems very active tonight."Damian placed his hand beside hers."Maybe he knows we're finally leaving."Amelia looked at him."I hope that's what it is."Damian smiled."It is."Across from them, Adrian checked his phone."The flight is ready."Bennett looked at him."Are you certain?""Yes.""The aircraft is private.""The route has been changed.""And the passenger list?""Clean."Bennett nodded."Good."Amelia looked through the window."Where exactly are we going?"Adrian looked at her."London first.""And after?""Somewhere quieter."Damian frowned."Where?""That depends on what we find when we get there."Amelia nodded.She wasn't

    The tunnel was silent.Too silent.Amelia could hear nothing except the sound of their footsteps and the quiet rhythm of her own breathing.Damian's hand remained firmly around hers."Stay close to me," he whispered."I am."Behind them, Clara kept looking back.Bennett noticed."Are you expecting someone?"Clara shook her head."I'm afraid of who might already be ahead of us."Damian looked at her."You said this tunnel leads outside the estate.""It does.""Then who could be waiting?"Clara didn't answer.Amelia noticed the change in her expression."Clara?"She stopped.Everyone stopped with her."Something's wrong."Bennett immediately raised his weapon."What?"Clara pointed ahead."Listen."Everyone became still.At first, Amelia heard nothing.Then footsteps, coming toward them.Slow.Deliberate.Someone was walking through the tunnel.Damian moved Amelia behind him.Adrian stepped to her other side.Bennett raised his weapon."Who's there?"No answer.The footsteps continued.
