.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
.THE SUBSTITUE WIFE RETURNS CHAPTER 37 – THE BOY WHO REMEMBERED
Ariana’s POVThe corridor exploded into chaos.Prototype Zero moved first.Or perhaps Ethan.I didn’t know what to call him anymore.The machine.The monster.The boy from my memories.The one who had once called me little star.All I knew was that he was no longer obeying.The scientist’s eyes wid

Ariana’s POVPain.That was the first thing.Not sharp.Not sudden.No—this pain felt alive.Like something inside me had cracked open and didn’t know how to close again.My knees slammed into the floor.A scream tore out of me before I could stop it.The world twisted violently.Voices.Images.F
.THE SUBSTITUE WIFE RETURNS Chapter 35 – Ashes and Answers
Ariana’s POVThe building was dying.You could feel it.Not metaphorically.Not dramatically.Literally.Steel screamed overhead like something enormous was twisting it apart. Fire crawled through the underground corridors in violent streaks, swallowing everything in hungry waves.And still—we ran
.THE SUBSTITUE WIFE RETURNS Chapter 34 – Prototype Zero
Ariana’s POVThe roar came again.Closer this time.Deeper.Wrong.The sound vibrated through the collapsing facility like something ancient waking up after years of being buried alive.Dust drifted from the ceiling.Steel groaned overhead.And suddenly—every instinct inside me screamed.Run.Not
