Ariana’s POV

I couldn’t relax.

Not after yesterday.

Not after Adrianne.

Not after the way she looked at me like she already knew.

It felt like something had shifted.

Like the game had changed—

And I was already losing.

Morning came too fast.

I barely slept.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face.

That smile.

That knowing look.

“You don’t look like her.”

My chest tightened again.

I forced myself out of bed and got ready.

Careful.

Precise.

Every movement controlled.

If she was watching—

  • .THE SUBSTITUE WIFE RETURNS   Chapter 43: The First Origin

    Ariana’s POVThe tunnel fell silent.Not the kind of silence that feels peaceful.The kind that comes right before disaster.The kind that warns you to run.Nobody moved.Nobody spoke.Every silver-eyed person stood perfectly still, their attention fixed on the darkness ahead.Waiting.Listening.Fearing.And that terrified me more than the roar itself.Because these were people who had survived decades underground.People who had escaped experiments.People who had endured horrors I couldn’t imagine.Yet they looked afraid.Truly afraid.My fingers tightened around Damien’s hand.He squeezed back immediately.Grounding me.Steadying me.Reminding me that no matter how strange this became—I wasn’t alone.Christopher broke the silence first.“Okay.”His voice shook slightly.“I know I ask this every ten minutes, but can someone please explain what exactly we’re running from?”Ethan answered.His voice was barely above a whisper.“The original.”The words settled heavily in the air.Da

  • .THE SUBSTITUE WIFE RETURNS   Chapter 42: The Ones Who Remained

    Ariana’s POV Welcome home, Ariana.The words echoed through the tunnel long after the woman stopped speaking.Nobody moved.Nobody breathed.The collapsing facility seemed to disappear around us.Even the explosions sounded distant.Muted.Unimportant.Because standing before us was something impossible.Dozens of people.All with silver light beneath their skin.All staring at me.Like they knew me.Like they had been waiting for me.For years.For decades.Maybe longer.My heart pounded violently.I tightened my grip on Damien’s hand without realizing it.Immediately, his fingers closed around mine.Steady.Protective.Grounding.The simple gesture stopped me from falling apart.The elderly woman stepped forward slowly.She didn’t look dangerous.She didn’t carry weapons.She didn’t move like a soldier.Yet somehow—She frightened me more than the scientist ever had.Because she looked at me with recognition.The kind of recognition that came from knowing a secret.And I was beginn

  • .THE SUBSTITUE WIFE RETURNS   Chapter 41: The Silver Awakening

    Ariana’s POVLight.Blinding.Endless.Silver consumed everything.The tunnel vanished.The soldiers vanished.Even Damien disappeared.For one terrifying moment, I thought I had died.Then I heard a heartbeat.Strong.Steady.Familiar.Damien.The sound anchored me.Pulled me back.The silver light trembled around me like a living ocean.Waves of energy rolled through the darkness, carrying fragments of memories that weren’t entirely mine.A little girl laughing.A woman singing softly.A laboratory hidden beneath a mansion.Scientists arguing.Someone shouting—“She’s reacting!”Another voice answered.“Impossible.”Then another.Fearful.Almost reverent.“Subject Origin.”The memory shattered.I gasped.My eyes flew open.The real world slammed back into existence.Smoke.Fire.Screams.The collapsing facility.I was lying on the cracked tunnel floor.Damien was beside me.His arms wrapped around me protectively.Holding me against his chest.For a second neither of us moved.Neith

  • .THE SUBSTITUE WIFE RETURNS   Chapter 40: Subject Origin

    Ariana’s POVSubject Origin.The words echoed through my mind long after the scientist spoke them.Not Ariana.Not Subject Nine.Subject Origin.The name felt wrong.Like a lock clicking open somewhere deep inside my head.Around me, chaos erupted instantly.Omega was still screaming.Its massive body convulsed violently as the silver device pulsed in the scientist’s hand.Blue light flashed beneath its skin.Metal groaned.Concrete cracked.The entire tunnel shook beneath the force of its pain.Yet the scientist simply watched.Calm.Satisfied.As if tormenting living beings was nothing more than routine.As if suffering was science.I hated him.Not the way I’d hated Richard.Not the way I’d hated the doctors.This was something deeper.Something colder.The kind of hatred born when someone steals entire lives and calls it progress.“Stop it!” I shouted.The scientist’s eyes shifted toward me.“There she is.”His smile widened.“The impossible child.”My stomach twisted.“Stop calli

  • .THE SUBSTITUE WIFE RETURNS   Chapter 39: The Truth They Buried

    Ariana’s POV“Ariana Hale.”The voice echoed through the tunnel like a death sentence.No.Not a death sentence.A recognition.Subject Omega knew me.The creature stood motionless in the shattered tunnel, its massive frame blocking the only visible escape route. Blue light glowed beneath its skin, pulsing like veins of electricity. Every instinct in my body screamed at me to run.But I couldn’t move.Because the way it said my name…It sounded familiar.Like it had known me long before this moment.Around me, nobody spoke.Christopher looked like he was trying very hard not to panic.Alina’s gun remained raised.Damien stood directly in front of me.And Ethan—Ethan looked terrified.Not of Omega.Of what Omega might say.The creature tilted its head slightly.Its glowing eyes never left mine.“You survived.”A chill ran through me.“What are you talking about?”The creature smiled.The sight was unsettling.Almost human.Almost.“After all these years… you survived.”Ethan stepped f

  • .THE SUBSTITUE WIFE RETURNS   CHAPTER 38 – THE THING BENEATH

    Ariana’s POVDarkness.Complete darkness.For several terrifying seconds, nobody moved.Nobody spoke.The emergency lights had died.The corridor that moments ago had been filled with red flashing alarms was now swallowed by blackness.The only sounds were heavy breathing, distant explosions, and the groaning of metal as the facility continued to collapse around us.Then—A roar echoed again.Deep.Ancient.Wrong.The sound rolled through the underground structure like thunder trapped beneath the earth.Every hair on my body stood upright.My pulse accelerated instantly.Beside me, Damien grabbed my hand.“Ariana.”His voice was low.Steady.Grounding.“I’m here.”The simple words somehow cut through the panic threatening to consume me.I squeezed his hand tightly.Then emergency lights flickered back on.Weak.Unstable.And what they revealed made my blood freeze.The scientist was gone.Vanished.So were half the guards.The shattered control device lay abandoned on the floor.Smoke

    Ariana’s POVWhite.Everything became white.Not bright.Not peaceful.Just… endless.Like falling into emptiness with no sky, no ground, no body.No pain.No sound.Nothing.Until—A voice.Soft.Familiar.“Don’t be afraid.”My breath caught.I turned instinctively.A woman stood in the distance.

    Ariana’s POVThat name left my mouth before I could stop it.“…Dad?”The corridor went dead silent.Even the gunfire outside felt like it paused for half a second—like the whole facility was reacting to the word.The masked figure didn’t move.Didn’t blink.Didn’t react like a human should.Then sl

    Ariana’s POVMy blood ran cold.⸻Dr. Morrison.⸻For a second—I genuinely thought I was hallucinating.Because nothing made sense anymore.Not the facility.Not the experiments.Not the things the older man had said about me.And definitely not the sight of the doctor who had spent years telling

    Ariana’s POVMy breath caught in my throat.⸻“…Alina?”⸻She stood motionless beneath the flickering red emergency lights, dressed entirely in black. Her dark coat brushed against the metal floor as smoke curled faintly behind her from the damaged corridor.For a moment—She didn’t look like my si
