The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride The Prodigy's Gambit
Chapter 108A sharp, violent crackle of blue electricity erupted from the small device in Leo’s hand. Fifty thousand volts of localized current discharged directly into the femoral nerve of Chloe Sterling’s leg. It wasn't a lethal dose, but the physiological response was instantaneous and entirely involuntary. Chloe shrieked a high, piercing sound of absolute agony as her leg completely buckled beneath her. Her muscles spasmed violently, and the silver pistol flew from her grip, clattering harmlessly onto the wet concrete. She collapsed hard onto the pier, convulsing slightly as the residual electricity grounded itself. The standoff shattered in a fraction of a second. "Leo, run!" Ethan roared. The four-year-old didn't freeze in shock. He dropped the EMP device, spun on his heels, and sprinted toward his parents with the speed and singular focus of a miniature guided missile. Nikolai Rostova’s aristocratic facade completely vanished. He realized instantly that the leverage was

Chapter 107The rain had finally stopped by the time the armored SUV pulled back onto Pier 4. The heavy fog from earlier had rolled back in, obscuring the moonlight and turning the sprawling South Bay port into a gray, ghostly wasteland. The massive steel cranes loomed overhead like silent, rusted sentinels. Ethan parked the vehicle a hundred yards away from the edge of the pier. He looked at Zara. She was pale, but her chin was high, her posture rigid with corporate and maternal defiance. She didn't look like a hostage walking to her execution. She looked like a queen walking into a boardroom. "Stay directly behind me," Ethan murmured, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Do not break line of sight.""I know," she whispered. They stepped out of the vehicle, the wet concrete crunching beneath their shoes. The Panamanian freighter was still docked. But the pier was no longer empty. Standing in a wide semicircle near the gangway were twenty heavily armed syndicate mercenaries. They held auto

Chapter 106The armored SUV skidded to a violent halt inside the abandoned warehouse.The scene was entirely different from the quiet sanctuary Ethan had established earlier. The massive steel plate covering the bunker stairs was locked open. Two dead syndicate mercenaries in unmarked tactical gear lay sprawled across the concrete floor, their bodies twisted at unnatural angles.Julian had fought like a cornered lion.Ethan and Zara bolted from the vehicle, sprinting down the stairs. The bunker living area was a disaster zone. The heavy mahogany panels were riddled with bullet holes. The leather sectional was overturned, and the glass coffee table was entirely shattered.Lying near the kitchen counter, pressing a blood-soaked towel to his abdomen, was Julian."Julian!" Zara dropped to her knees, sliding across the linoleum. She pulled his hands away to inspect the wound. It was a clean through-and-through shot to his lower left side, but he was bleeding heavily."I'm fine," Julian gru

Chapter 105The fluorescent lights of the laboratory seemed to buzz louder, amplifying the horrific realization gripping the room."A decoy?" Zara asked. Her voice trembled. She stepped closer to Ethan, searching his pale face. "Ethan, what do you mean?"Ethan dropped the submachine gun. The heavy weapon clattered loudly against the linoleum. He didn't care. He grabbed Zara by the shoulders, his fingers digging into her jacket. The absolute panic in his gray eyes was completely unmasked."She wanted us to find that folder," Ethan choked out. His breathing grew rapid and ragged. "Victor was meticulous. He never left active hit lists sitting on unencrypted cloud sectors. Chloe planted the hospital blueprints in that directory. She knew Leo was monitoring the traffic. She knew I would brute-force the server.""She wanted you to think she was coming here to destroy your sanity," Dr. Hayes realized, leaning against the counter."She wanted to draw us out of the bunker," Zara finished. The

Chapter 104The black armored SUV cut through the flooded streets of the city like a shark navigating dark waters.Ethan gripped the steering wheel so tightly the leather groaned under the pressure. The wipers slapped furiously against the windshield, struggling to clear the torrential downpour. Beside him, Zara sat in absolute silence. Her hands rested over the cold steel of the Glock holstered at her waist. She wasn't shaking anymore. The sheer, overwhelming instinct to protect the man driving the car had completely frozen her terror into a solid block of titanium."St. Jude’s has four main entrances," Zara said quietly, keeping her eyes scanning the passing streetlights. "But Dr. Hayes runs his private synthesis lab out of the East Research Wing. It’s currently undergoing renovations. The staff traffic there is practically zero at this hour.""Which makes it the perfect target," Ethan replied. His voice was entirely devoid of warmth. It was a cold, tactical hum. "The syndicate won'

Chapter 103The decryption software tore through Victor Vance’s encrypted firewall like a battering ram.For twenty agonizing minutes, the only sound in the subterranean lab was the relentless, clicking clatter of the keyboard and the soft hum of the massive cooling fans keeping the servers from overheating.Zara stood beside Ethan, handing him a mug of black coffee. He took it without looking away from the screen, his concentration absolute. The lingering exhaustion of the Scopolamine flush seemed completely banished by the adrenaline pumping through his veins.Access Granted.The red flashing error message on the right monitor abruptly vanished, replaced by a sprawling directory of hidden folders."Got him," Ethan hissed, slamming his coffee mug down.He rapidly clicked through the digital maze. These weren't standard corporate files. They were labeled with cryptic, alphanumeric codes. Ethan ran a quick sorting algorithm, organizing the files by their last modification date.One fol
