TOO LATE TO REGRET, EX-HUSBAND The Lab in the Alps
The world around me spun in a dark, terrifying circle.My knees gave out completely. If Arthur hadn't caught me around the waist with his massive, warm arms, I would have collapsed right there on the wet sand."Six more?" I choked out, my voice barely a whisper against the roaring sound of the ocean waves. "Marcus... what are you talking about? My mother wouldn't do that. She wouldn't create clones!"Marcus held up the tablet, his face completely pale under the fading orange light of the sunset."Your mother didn't do it, Vivian," Marcus explained, his voice low and heavy with disgust. "Victoria Vance stole your mother's genetic research twenty-five years ago. While your mother was trying to cure heart defects, Victoria Vance was using her lab notes to build a private supply of identical organ donors for the richest people in Western Europe."A cold, nauseating sickness washed through my stomach.I looked back at the porch where Victoria was standing behind the glass door, her large d

The sunset over the ocean was breathtaking.Deep pink and orange streaks painted the sky as the cool evening tide rolled in against the white sand. Down by the water, Leo and Emma were still giggling, taking turns chasing our new golden retriever puppy through the shallow foam.I leaned back against Arthur's chest, taking a slow sip of my warm tea. His broad arms wrapped securely around my waist, keeping the chilly ocean breeze away from me."Look at them, Arthur," I whispered, a happy smile warming my lips. "They look so peaceful.""They are peaceful, Vivian," Arthur murmured against my hair, resting his chin on my shoulder. "Because we made sure of it."My twin sister Victoria was sitting on the wooden steps of the porch, watching the children with wide, curious eyes. She held a warm blanket around her shoulders, her dark hair blowing gently in the wind. For twenty-five years, she had lived inside a dark, silent vault. Every little thing–the smell of the salt air, the sound of laugh
TOO LATE TO REGRET, EX-HUSBAND Breath in the Dark
The darkness inside the vault was absolute.It pressed against my eyes like a heavy weight. The moment the ten-ton steel door slammed shut, all sound from the outside world vanished instantly. No screaming, no alarms, no Arthur's voice. Just a thick, terrifying silence that filled my ears."Arthur!" I shrieked, scrambling onto my hands and knees on the freezing concrete floor. "Arthur! Can you hear me?!"I pounded my fists against the cold steel of the vault door until my knuckles throbbed with sharp pain. Nothing. The steel was a foot thick. Not even a vibration passed through it.Beep... beep... beep...A faint, sickly red glow flickered to life behind me.I whipped around, my heart hammering like a trapped bird against my ribs. The glass medical pod holding my twin sister was glowing softly in the dark. But the blue operational lights were gone. A bright red warning symbol flashed repeatedly across the small display monitor at the head of the pod.BATTERY POWER: 8%"No, no, no!" I

My hands shook as I stared down at the heavy metallic briefcase.The morning sun hit the dark glass of the hangar windows, painting long golden stripes across the floor. Out on the tarmac, our long-range private jet sat with its engines softly humming, ready to carry us back home to America.Inside the open case lay a small black media player and a yellowed envelope with my name written across the front in elegant, looping handwriting.My mother’s handwriting.My throat tightens until I could barely breathe. "She... she recorded this for me?""Twenty-five years ago," Dr. Miller said gently, his old voice soft and full of respect. "The night before the lab fire. She knew what Eleanor and Dimitri were planning. She knew she might not survive the night, so she left this with me. She made me promise to give it to you only when the Vance syndicate was completely destroyed."Arthur stepped up right behind me, his strong hands resting gently on my shoulders. His touch was warm, grounding me

Dimitri’s grip on Adrian’s throat was tighter than an iron clamp.Adrian choked, his face turning a deep, sickly purple as his legs dangled helplessly over the three-story drop of the balcony ledge. Below them, the stone courtyard was bathed in the flashing red and blue lights of Swiss police cruisers."Dimitri... please!" Adrian sputtered out, his hands clawing uselessly at his uncle’s thick wrists. "We can share... we can take the money and leave!""Share with a sniveling coward like you?" Dimitri sneered, his voice raspy and cold against the whistling night wind. "You burned the book. You brought the cops to our front door. You destroyed thirty years of work in five minutes."Inside the grand room, panic erupted. The corrupt board members screamed, knocking over mahogany chairs as they scrambled toward the back exits. But Dr. Miller’s guards stood firm, blocking the doors and forcing every last one of them back into the room."Dimitri, stop!" Julian called out, stepping toward the

Time seemed to slow down to a crawl inside that cold, echoing room.Eleanor Kingsley’s hand shook, but the pearl-handled revolver was pointed right at my chest. Her pale, arrogant face was twisted with pure, venomous hatred. The elegant silk dress she wore couldn't hide the ugly monster standing inside her skin."You ruined everything, Vivian!" Eleanor shrieked, her voice echoing off the high stone walls. "My son was supposed to rule this empire! My family was supposed to have it all!""Eleanor, put the gun down," Julian said, stepping forward with his hands held out open. His voice was calm, but his eyes were filled with a deep, painful sadness. "It’s over. Look around you. There is nowhere left to run.""Shut up, Julian!" Eleanor spat, her finger tightening against the metal trigger. "You were always weak! You let Rachel soft-talk you out of your inheritance, and now your bastard daughter thinks she can take what belongs to Adrian!""Mom, no!" Adrian yelled, taking a step back from
