Aria.

The noise from the drones was no longer just a distant sound, but closer by the second. My fear was palpable as the slight whirring tickled over me, reminding me of an evil call to safety.

"We must accelerate," Locke whispered.

He was glaring between the tunnel and the dark shaft, his hand gripping the edge of the vent cover. "Keep your distance and don't make any noise." (Fourth story).

The girl took charge, walking through the narrow passage in a manner that reminded her of her hundred experiences. The sound of our rushing footsteps, which could be heard from above, was louder than any other noise we had ever encountered. I found it difficult to remain composed with my heart racing in my ears and my breath being short.

His voice was delicate yet strained as he asked, "How far up?".

"Our journey is nearly finished," she stated, gesturing over her shoulder.

We have a service door up ahead, but we cannot be caught. Upon being detected, the drones will provide us with assis

  • The Billionaire’s Hidden Heir   Chapter Forty-Five

    Aria. I was pulled out of the door by Locke, who had his hand extended towards the back and was holding my arm. I only managed to keep track of the situation for a short time before he shoved me into a secluded space behind some carriers. Everything was drowned out by the roar of my pulsing heartbeat and an overwhelming metal/oil scent permeated everything. We were trapped. The reinforcements were coming. With his face in my grasp, Locke commanded someone to stop talking and maintain silence. My fear of speaking made me nod off. It's like breathing, I can't even say words. The metal hallway was filled with the sound of the guards' boots as they drew nearer. I breathed deeply, attempting to avoid making any sound. Each passing second was a moment of immense excitement and time. I was consumed by anxiety, anticipating the inevitable.' It appeared as though the walls were closing in.' I was aware that if they came across us here, there would be no way to escape. Even when things we

    Aria. I breathed deeply with a persistent chest tightening. Despite the guard's footsteps being barely audible, I couldn't shake the feeling that we were all out there. Locke didn't hesitate. After pulling me out of the closet, he grabbed my wrist with a firm but comforting grip. Upon entering the hallway, I felt like I was being pulled by the ship's weight as it slowly approached me, and the steel walls and dim lighting made everything feel like a cage. We sped wither, keeping our feet still as we looked out for danger. Locke whispered, with a low voice but strong words: "Shut up.". Despite being ahead, the girl didn't slow down. She maintained a strong presence of mind, her eyes fixed. Despite her fears, she couldn't conceal them. The clock had passed and there was no assurance of our escape. As we walked down the hallway, I could hear my heart racing in my ears and each time we turned around, it seemed more hazardous. Both of us felt vulnerable. Although the escape pods were

    Aria. The presence of armed guards in the distance caused me to feel a chill down my spine. There was no way to go back, there was nothing easy. Our only option was to get past them, and I wasn't sure how we could do it. Locke's hand pulled me along, holding his hand tightly. He whispered, "Stay behind me," and his voice was delicate yet unwavering. Girl, who had taken us all this far.’ She. With her face covered in a visor, she was already pushing ahead with activity. "Leave me alone," she said, scanning our surroundings once to confirm our proximity. Although I had no idea where we were going, I didn't have a lot of choice. As the guards approached, their footsteps were loud and steady, echoing off the cold metal walls. All my instincts led me to seek refuge, but I couldn't find anything to hide. Nowhere to hide from them. I could hear Locke's breath, shallow but subdued, right beside me. My wrist was under his constant tugging, as if to indicate that I might be in trouble soon

    Aria. The coldness intensified as the darkness caused my eyes to look back at me. I couldn't move. I didn't dare. They were plentiful, with shapes concealed in the obscurity that were barely noticeable but present. Children. When they first took me, I was not yet an adult. Yet, their silence caused my stomach to go crazy. Why? How many of us were left to rot? I whispered, "Who is this person?" with a low-pitched tone. She stepped forward, her eyes flickering as she stood between us and the children. “They're the ones who didn't make it,” she muttered softly, her voice abrasive but still muted. The ones who failed.”. I shivered. We were all supposed to be experiments, she said. "We paused and thought, 'Some of you -- we remember some of us.'". Remembering causes us to break. “Break?” Locke asked. “Break how?”. The girl breathed deeply and nodded in agreement. "The 'tests' were designed to transform us into weapons.". As our awareness increased, we rebelled. She reflected

    Aria. My run was marked by branches hitting my face, but I didn't slow down. They were thick, dark, and untamed but better than the lab. Better than being trapped again. Our steps were growing in proximity. Marcus remarked that the guards were not present and were moving too quickly. Locke concurred that the strike team was too structured. "This is a group of professionals.". With my eyes wide open, I asked why they were chasing me. According to Locke, the drive is sought after by them, and they would rather kill us than risk it escaping. My pocket became tighter and I held it tightly. Over my dead body. We sprinted down a tight spur, sliding over roots and dirt. Despite my burnt legs, they were still moving due to fear. Then Marcus shouted, “Left this way!”. After that, he drove past one of the gaps in the trees and we found ourselves walking across a narrow clearing. A low stone wall and an old storage shed were partially buried by the moonlight, leaving behind vines. “
