Chapter 212

The silence that followed the disconnected call was heavier than death.

Zara stood frozen, staring at the black screen of Ethan’s phone. Her mind rejected the image. Her brilliant, untouchable boy, bleeding on the floor of his dorm room.

Five years of peace. Five years of believing they had built an empire high enough to protect their children. It had all been an illusion.

"Marcus," Ethan’s voice was barely a whisper, but it carried a vibration of absolute, apocalyptic violence. He

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Wrath of Aegis

    Chapter 21430,000 Feet Above the Atlantic Ocean.The Aegis hypersonic stealth jet tore through the stratosphere, breaking the sound barrier twice over. Inside the luxurious, high-tech cabin, the atmosphere was a pressure cooker of absolute, suffocating terror.Zara paced the length of the aisle, her hands trembling as she stared at the massive holographic map of the Swiss Alps projected in the center of the cabin."Marcus," Ethan’s voice cut through the silence. He was sitting at the primary comms terminal, his suit jacket discarded, his gray eyes locked onto the screen with predatory intensity. "Give me an update on the thermal imaging.""Boss, the satellite sweep over the Institut Mont Blanc is complete," Marcus’s voice crackled over the speakers from New York. "We tracked the snow-cat’s heat signature leaving the school. But... we lost it."Zara stopped pacing, her heart slamming against her ribs. "How do you lose a ten-ton armored vehicle on an open mountain road?!""Because ther

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Frozen Tomb

    Chapter 213The impact felt like being struck by a freight train made of concrete.The avalanche hit the stalled snow-cat vehicle with catastrophic force, instantly flipping the massive, ten-ton armored transport as if it were a child’s toy. The agonizing sound of screeching, buckling metal deafened Leo as the world plunged into a violent, spinning abyss of white and black.He slammed hard against the ceiling of the cabin, pain exploding across his ribs as the vehicle rolled down the embankment, swallowed completely by the roaring tide of snow.Then, abruptly, the violent motion stopped.Absolute, suffocating silence fell over the cabin.The emergency auxiliary lights flickered, casting a dim, eerie blue glow over the interior. The snow-cat was buried under at least twenty feet of densely packed ice and snow, resting upside down at an unnatural, sickening angle. The temperature inside the cabin began to plummet instantly.Leo lay crumpled on the ceiling—which was now the floor. His he

He lowered his gun from Vivian’s chest and pressed the comms device in his ear. "I want the Aegis hypersonic jet fueled and on the tarmac in ten minutes. Scramble the Alpha and Bravo strike teams. We are going to Switzerland.""Yes, Boss," Marcus’s voice crackled back, instantly recognizing the tone of a man ready to wage a global war.Vivian Vance let out a breathy, mocking chuckle. "You’re too late, Ethan. By the time your jet crosses the Atlantic, Leo will be in a black-site in Eastern Europe. T

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Obsidian Heiress

    Chapter 211New York City. Aegis Global Headquarters.Half a world away from the Swiss Alps, Zara Cole sat at the head of the massive obsidian table in the Aegis boardroom. The sheer power radiating from her was suffocating. The Ice Queen didn't just rule the room; she owned the air everyone breathed."The acquisition of the Vance Shipping conglomerate is non-negotiable," Zara stated smoothly, her manicured fingers resting lightly on the glass surface of the table. "You are bleeding capital. Aegis is offering a generous buyout. Take it, or we crush your stock into pennies by Friday."Sitting across the table were the terrified executives of Vance Shipping. They were sweating through their custom suits.But sitting at the center of their side of the table was a woman who wasn't sweating at all.Vivian Vance.She was twenty-five, stunningly beautiful, with platinum blonde hair cut into a sharp bob and eyes like poisoned emeralds. She was the secret, illegitimate daughter of Victor Vance

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Prince of Aegis

    Chapter 210Five Years Later.The Institut Mont Blanc, nestled high in the pristine, snow-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps, was not a normal high school. It was a forging ground for the global elite. The teenagers walking its mahogany-lined halls were the heirs to European sovereignties, tech monopolies, and oil dynasties.But even among the apex predators of the next generation, there was a hierarchy.And sitting entirely alone at the top of that food chain was fifteen-year-old Leo Cole.Leo sat in the back row of the Advanced Quantum Physics lecture hall, his long legs stretched out under the desk. He wore the school’s strict navy-blue blazer and gray slacks, but his dark hair was effortlessly messy, and his sharp, steel-gray eyes stared blankly out the window at the falling snow.He looked exactly like Ethan Cole had at twenty. Devastatingly handsome, infuriatingly arrogant, and terrifyingly intelligent."Mr. Cole."The sharp, nasally voice of Professor Dupont snapped through the qui

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The King’s Gambit

    Chapter 209The silence in the ballroom was deafening, broken only by the muffled, terrifying sobs of Aria coming through the live video feed.Zara stared at the screen, her heart shattering into a million irreparable pieces. Leo was looking directly into the camera. Despite being bound and gagged, the ten-year-old’s gray eyes weren't filled with panic; they were wide with a desperate, silent plea. He was looking at his parents, silently begging them not to surrender."Ten seconds, Zara," Elias Frost’s voice cut through the air, cold and merciless. "Ten seconds before Elara pulls the trigger."Zara fell to her knees.The Ice Queen the woman who had dismantled hostile takeovers, survived assassins, and built an empire of billions finally broke. She couldn't sacrifice her children. She would burn the entire world to ash, she would surrender her soul to the devil, if it meant Leo and Aria took another breath."I'll do it," Zara sobbed, pressing her forehead against the cold marble floor
