The words echoed through the underground chamber.

> ONE CHILD WILL LEAVE.

Ava's blood ran cold.

“What does that mean?”

Amara's fingers tightened around hers.

“It means the Serpent has chosen its final test.”

Ava looked at the machines surrounding her mother.

“No. You said you created it to destroy itself.”

“I did.”

“Then destroy it!”

Amara's eyes filled with tears.

“I can't.”

“Why?”

“Because I made one mistake.”

“What mistake?”

Amara looked toward Ethan.

Ava followed her gaze.

Ethan stood froze

    Every screen in the chamber displayed Celeste's face.Her expression was calm, almost gentle, but Ava felt a chill crawl down her spine.“Celeste?” she whispered.The woman on the screen smiled.“Hello again, little sister.”Ava tightened her arms around Amara, who was still struggling to recover from Evelyn's control. Across the chamber, Daniel pushed himself to his feet while Noah stared at the console, desperately trying to understand what had happened.“That isn't possible,” Noah muttered. “The merge was interrupted. The separation key shattered before the process could finish.”“Then explain why every facility has activated,” Ethan demanded.“I can't!”The screens changed simultaneously.Images appeared from different locations around the world: underground laboratories, abandoned hospitals, hidden research centers, and rooms filled with glass chambers. In each location, doors were opening.People emerged from the chambers.Some looked confused. Others collapsed immediately. A fe

    Amara's scream tore through the chamber.Ava rushed toward her mother, but Daniel caught her wrist before she could reach the console.“Don't touch her!” he warned. “The network is reacting to your presence.”“That's my mother, Daniel!”“And Evelyn knows that. She's using your feelings against you.”Ava tried to pull free, but Daniel held on.Across the chamber, Amara's body convulsed. Black veins spread across her face, and the screens behind her filled with rapidly changing symbols.PRIMARY SUBJECT: AVA.SECONDARY SUBJECT: ISABELLA.CONSCIOUSNESS MERGE: READY.Isabella stared at the display, her face drained of color.“No,” she whispered.Ava turned toward her. “What is it?”Isabella shook her head as though she could force the words out of her mind.“I remember something.”“What?”“The laboratory. The night we were born.”Ava's heart pounded.“You were there?”“Not physically. I mean, I remember it from inside the network. I used to think the dreams were nightmares, but they weren'

    The phone kept ringing.Nobody moved.Ava stood frozen beside Daniel, staring at the message flashing across the screens.SECONDARY SUBJECT LOCATED.IDENTITY CONFIRMED.CURRENT LOCATION: UNKNOWN.SUBJECT HAS BEEN LIVING UNDER YOUR PROTECTION.“Who is it?” Ethan demanded, stepping toward the central console. “Show us the identity.”The screen flickered.ACCESS DENIED.Noah immediately began typing. “Someone has locked the identity behind a biological signature. I can access the location data, but the name is being protected by the original system.”“Then break the lock,” Daniel ordered.“I'm trying!”Across the chamber, Amara stood perfectly still. Evelyn had control of her body again, and the black veins beneath her skin were spreading toward her neck.Ava couldn't stop looking at her mother.The memory of the hospital room remained painfully clear. She remembered Amara's desperate cries, the way she had held her newborn daughter, and the terror in her eyes when Evelyn threatened to t

  • The Billionaire's Runaway Bride   CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN: THE NIGHT AVA WAS BORN

    The moment Ava stepped through the door, the sound of a newborn crying filled the darkness.She froze.The room beyond the doorway was nothing like the underground facility. There were no glass chambers, no wires, no screens displaying terrifying commands. Instead, she stood inside a small hospital room illuminated by a single yellow lamp. Rain tapped against the windows, and the air smelled faintly of antiseptic.A woman lay on the bed, sweating and exhausted, her dark hair clinging to her forehead.Amara.She looked younger, perhaps twenty years younger than the woman Ava knew. Her arms trembled as she reached for the tiny bundle beside her.“My baby,” the younger Amara whispered. “Please, let me see my baby.”A nurse stood beside the bed, holding a newborn wrapped in a white blanket. Another baby cried in a cot near the window.Two babies.Ava's heart began to pound.“No,” she whispered. “This isn't possible.”Celeste appeared beside her, her face unusually pale.“This is the first

    “Mama?”Ava's voice trembled.Amara stood before the original core, her arms hanging loosely at her sides. The black veins beneath her skin spread from her wrists toward her neck, and her eyes had lost every trace of their familiar warmth.Ava took one step toward her.“Mama, look at me.”Amara slowly lifted her head.For a moment, something flickered in her expression.Then she smiled.It wasn't her mother's smile.“Hello, Ava.”Ava froze.Daniel immediately pulled her behind him.“Get away from her.”Amara tilted her head.“Still protecting her, Daniel? Even after everything you've learned about her?”“Whatever you've done to her, you're going to release her.”“Release her?” Amara laughed softly. “You still don't understand. I'm not holding anyone prisoner.”She pressed a hand against her chest.“I'm finally home.”Ava's heart pounded.“That's not my mother speaking.”“No,” Noah said from behind them. “It isn't.”He stared at the readings on his scanner, his face drained of color.“

    “It's time to finish what we started.”The voice came from the original core.Ava turned toward the glass column, her heart pounding. The woman who had worn Celeste's face stood motionless inside it, while the screens surrounding her flashed with warnings.WARNING: COMMAND REQUIRES THE ORIGINAL SUBJECT'S DEATH.GLOBAL AUTHORITY SYNCHRONIZATION: 04:58.Daniel tightened his grip on Ava's hand.“No.”The word was quiet, but it carried a promise.He stepped between Ava and the console, his blackened veins pulsing beneath his skin.“Whatever that command says, we're finding another way.”Ava stared at the screen. “What if there isn't another way?”“Then we keep looking.”“Daniel, thousands of people could die if Evelyn completes the synchronization.”“And you think I'm going to let you die to save them?”“I'm not asking you to let me die!”“Then stop talking as though your life is the only one we can sacrifice.”His voice cracked.For a moment, neither of them spoke.Ava had seen Daniel an
