​Alex stared at the armed men surrounding him, keeping himself firmly between them and his mother.

​"Put the contract down," Daniel ordered with a calm smile.

​Alex tightened his grip. "First, tell me what this is."

​When Daniel refused to answer directly, Alex turned to his weeping mother. "Mom, what is he talking about?"

​"I wanted to tell you," Evelyn sobbed.

​"Because the truth would destroy everything you believe about your family," Daniel interrupted coldly.

    Alex’s pulse hammered against his ribs as he stared at the woman standing beside the idling black SUV. Rain slicked the pavement, reflecting the harsh yellow glare of the streetlights. She clutched a newborn tightly against her chest, her knuckles pale. Instinctively, Javier’s hand moved to her stomach, her shoulders tensing beside him.​"Put the baby down," Alex demanded, his voice dangerously quiet as he took a rigid step forward.​"Relax, I'm not here to hurt him," the woman replied, her calm demeanor unnerving against the backdrop of the stormy night. "I brought him because he's already been marked by everyone—he was born with the same genetic marker as you."​Tires screeched as David’s sedan pulled up to the curb. He slammed his door open, weapon drawn and raised to eye level. "Step away from the vehicle! Hands where I can see them! Who are you?"​"My name is Rebecca, and this is Noah," she answered without flinching, turning slightly so the soft dimple of the baby's cheek was

    "What did you say?" Javier asked, staring at Camille in disbelief.​"Daniel said the baby must not be born," Camille repeated, her face pale.​Alex immediately took the phone from her and pressed it to his ear. "Daniel!"​"You finally understand," Daniel's voice sneered through the static.​"Stay away from my wife—and stay away from my child!" Alex growled, his fists clenching.​"Your child is the problem," Daniel replied coldly. "The Genesis system has identified the baby because the succession protocol didn't end with you—it continued to the next generation. Your grandfather already decided that child's future." The line suddenly went dead.​As Alex asked David to trace the call, he took Javier's hands. "I'm here. You don't have to face this alone. I promise."​Camille watched them silently before admitting that Daniel had called her because she knew how to access parts of Genesis. "Daniel isn't trying to take the Swan fortune anymore—he wants the next heir."​David returned, hold

  • The Anniversary He Forgot   Chapter 57 The Escape

    ​"We're wasting time—show me," Alex demanded, his voice slicing through the frantic hum of the server banks as the red warning light bathed the chamber in a sickening crimson. The countdown on the central terminal ticked down mercilessly: 03:58... 03:57...​Camille didn't hesitate, leading him toward a sleek, metallic scanner mounted beside the reinforced steel escape door. Alex jammed his hand against the glass plate, but a harsh buzzer echoed through the room as a bold banner flashed across the interface: IDENTIFICATION FAILED.​"Your blood," Camille urged, pointing to a sharp, hidden needle recessed beneath the glass panel. "The security protocol is hardwired into the family line. The system needs an actual blood sample."​"I've spent thirty years trying to keep you away from Genesis!" Kendall shouted, rushing forward and grabbing his son's arm with a vice-like grip. "If you do this, you bind yourself to it forever!"​"And now you're going to let me die because you're afraid of

    Alex stared at the woman standing beside Daniel, his vision blurring as the world tilted on its axis. "Camille?"​Camille smiled calmly, though her eyes remained unreadable. "Hello, Alex."​Javier looked between them in confusion, his hand tightening around the strap of his shoulder bag. "You know her?"​"She's the other heir," Evelyn answered softly from the shadows of the vault, her voice laced with a weary resignation.​"Camille Mia," Daniel added, stepping back to let her take the center of the room. He gave a small, mocking nod.​Alex shook his head in disbelief, stepping forward until the ambient glow of the server racks illuminated the dark circles under his eyes. "You've known about Genesis for years? You knew my mother was alive, and you still came back into my life?"​"I had to," Camille replied, her eyes narrowing as her calm demeanor cracked, revealing a deep, simmering rage. "Because your family stole something from mine."​Turning to Javier, Camille smiled bitterly. "

"Mom, what is he talking about?"​"I wanted to tell you," Evelyn sobbed.​"Because the truth would destroy everything you believe about your family," Daniel interrupted coldly. Pressing a button, he lowered a massive screen from the ceiling displaying old footage of a young Kendall, Evelyn, and Daniel inside this very facility.​Alex watched the video in shock as a younger Kendall argued over documents, complaining that his father had promised the company to an unborn child named Alex.​The screen shifted to show a pregnant Evelyn.​"Your mother was pregnant when Genesis was activated," Daniel explained. "It was a successor system created by your grandfather before you were born because he believ

  • The Anniversary He Forgot   Chapter 54 The Secret She Couldn't Tell Him

    ​Alex stared at the message glowing on his phone screen—AND DON'T TELL JAVIER—and quickly locked the display.​"Alex? What's wrong?" Javier asked, still standing by the study door.​"Nothing," Alex lied, forcing a tired smile.​Javier stepped closer, studying his face intently. "You don't look like nothing. Is this about your mother?"​"Yes... I found a lead, but I can't tell you where because it's dangerous, and I don't want you involved."​"Alex, I'm your wife! Stop shutting me out," she pleaded.​Alex stepped closer and kissed her forehead. "I promise I'll explain everything tomorrow when this is over. I have an important meeting with David right now."​Javier knew he was lying, but she didn't push. Her voice softened with concern. "Be careful, Alex. I don't know what's happening anymore, but I know you're carrying something alone. Please come back to me."​"I will," he promised, grabbing his jacket and heading out into the night.​In his car, Alex placed the Genesis contract on t
