    The tunnel echoed with hurried footsteps.Detective Bennett led the way, his flashlight cutting through the darkness as the group raced toward the hidden exit beneath the greenhouse.No one spoke.The Curator's final message lingered in everyone's mind.> I've already sent someone to collect it.Amelia instinctively placed a hand over her stomach.The baby shifted gently.Damian immediately slowed his pace to stay beside her."You don't have to run."She shook her head."I do."He looked at her with concern."Amelia—""If that box is what they're after...""...then whatever Samuel hid has been in my bedroom this entire time."Damian nodded grimly."And we can't let them get it."---They emerged through the concealed entrance inside the abandoned greenhouse.Morning light spilled across the cracked glass roof.Outside, several police vehicles had already arrived.Officers rushed toward Detective Bennett."Sir!"Bennett turned."Report.""The estate has gone into complete lockdown."Na

  • THE CEO LEFT ME.... THEN CAME BACK BEGGING   CHAPTER 82: THE FACE BEHIND THE MASK

    The silence was suffocating.No one moved.The masked figure slowly lowered the disguise to the floor.Amelia's eyes widened."...No."Nathan took an involuntary step back."It can't be."Detective Bennett's jaw clenched."I knew something wasn't adding up."Standing before them was the cybercrime examiner who had assisted the investigation from the beginning.The same man who had recovered Samuel's files.The same man who had restored Victor Hale's photograph.The same man who had traced the mysterious transmissions.He smiled calmly."I was wondering how long it would take."Damian instinctively stepped in front of Amelia."You."The examiner inclined his head."Mr. Vale.""You've been manipulating the investigation.""I've been guiding it."Nathan tightened his grip on his weapon."You're under arrest."The man chuckled."On what evidence?""You've kidnapped Sophie."The smile disappeared."I didn't kidnap her."Everyone looked at Sophie.The examiner spread his hands."I rescued h

    Sophie's scream echoed through the Archive.Amelia's blood ran cold."Sophie!"She turned toward the entrance.Damian caught her arm."Wait.""She screamed!""I know.""Then we have to go!"Daniel moved toward the door."She's not here."Amelia looked at him."What?""That scream came through the Archive's sound system."Nathan immediately checked the equipment."He's right."The scream had not come from the corridor.It had come from the speakers.Someone had transmitted it.Amelia stared at the dark screen."Who?"A new message appeared.> YOU HAVE TEN MINUTES.Then another.> COME ALONE, AMELIA.Damian immediately shook his head."No."Amelia looked at him."Sophie could be in danger.""Which is exactly why you are not going alone."A third message appeared.> IF ANYONE FOLLOWS HER, SOPHIE DIES.The room fell silent.Amelia's heart pounded.Her mother stepped forward."It's a trap."Alexander looked at her."Obviously.""Then why are you still standing here?""Because I know who se

  • THE CEO LEFT ME.... THEN CAME BACK BEGGING   CHAPTER 80: THE PARENTS FROM THE PAST

    The door opened slowly.Amelia held her breath.A woman stepped into the light.For a moment, Amelia couldn't move.She had imagined this moment countless times.She had imagined seeing her mother again.She had imagined anger.Tears.Questions.But she had never imagined standing between both of her parents at the same time.The woman looked older than the photographs Amelia had seen.Her dark hair was streaked with silver.Her face was thinner.But there was no mistaking her.Amelia knew her.Even after twenty-two years.Even though the face had only existed in old photographs and childhood memories."Mum."The woman stopped.Her eyes filled with tears."Amelia."Amelia's entire body trembled.She took one step forward.Then stopped.Alexander immediately moved closer."Don't."The woman looked at him."You still think you can control her?""Stay away from my daughter."Amelia's heart pounded.Her gaze moved between them."Both of you stop."They fell silent.She looked at her mothe

    The words remained suspended in the air.> The girl you raised is not the girl I gave you.Amelia stared at the radio."No."The word came out quietly.Then again."No."Damian immediately moved toward her."Amelia."She took a step backward."That doesn't make sense."Daniel looked at the photograph in his hand."Maybe it does."Amelia turned sharply toward him."Don't.""I haven't said anything.""But you're thinking it."Daniel remained silent.Amelia's eyes filled with anger."I am not some mystery for you to solve.""No."His voice was quiet."But someone changed your identity."Her breath caught.Damian stepped between them."Enough."Daniel looked at him."She deserves to know.""Then we find out the truth properly."---Bennett's voice came through the radio again."Amelia, listen to me carefully."She grabbed the device."What?""The letter was not written in the same handwriting as the other documents."Amelia frowned."What do you mean?""The writing is your mother's.""But

  • THE CEO LEFT ME.... THEN CAME BACK BEGGING   CHAPTER 78: THE CALL FROM THE PAST

    The phone continued ringing.Once.Twice.Three times.The sound echoed through the Archive.Amelia stared at it."How long has that phone been here?"Daniel didn't answer."Daniel."His gaze remained fixed on the old black telephone."Twenty-two years."Amelia's heart skipped."It has been ringing for twenty-two years?""No."He looked at her."It stopped ringing after your mother disappeared."Eleanor's face had gone pale."Then why is it ringing now?"Daniel slowly shook his head."I don't know."The phone rang again.Amelia took another step toward it.Damian immediately caught her wrist."Don't."She looked at him."What if it's my mother?""Amelia, your mother disappeared twenty-two years ago.""So did Eleanor."Eleanor flinched."And Daniel was supposed to be dead."Amelia looked at the phone."Then I don't think we should assume anything is impossible."---The phone rang again.Daniel moved toward it.Amelia's voice stopped him."Wait."He turned.She looked at the old teleph

    “Amelia!”The sound of Damian’s voice echoed through the apartment with a panic nobody had ever heard from him before.Sophie gasped.Nathan froze.And Adrian immediately lifted Amelia into his arms as her body went limp against him.“Move.”His calm tone cut sharply through the chaos.Years of med

    The words slammed into Damian like a physical blow.“Don’t touch her.”For a second, nobody moved.Amelia’s body trembled weakly in Adrian’s arms, her face pale enough to terrify everyone in the room.“Move aside,” Damian said coldly.Adrian ignored him completely.“Get water,” he told Sophie calml

    Amelia’s heartbeat stopped for a second.No.Not now.Not tonight.Sophie looked between the door and Amelia in confusion before opening it wider.Standing outside was a tall man dressed in a dark coat, rainwater still glistening faintly on his shoulders. His sharp features carried the calm confide
