The Billionaire's Runaway Bride CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO: THE MAN SHE REFUSED TO LOSE
The alarm screamed through the chamber.GUARDIAN TRANSFER: BEGINNING.Ava watched the words flash across the screen, her heart hammering against her ribs.Daniel stood in front of her, his body rigid, his eyes completely black. His fingers remained locked around hers, but his grip was growing weaker.“Daniel?” she whispered.He didn't answer.“Daniel, look at me!”His head jerked toward her.For one brief moment, his brown eyes returned.“Ava,” he gasped. “Don't let me go.”She grabbed his other hand.“I'm right here.”“No.” He shook his head violently, as if fighting something she couldn't see. “You don't understand. She's inside my head. I can hear her thoughts.”Evelyn's voice emerged from the speakers.“Your resistance is admirable, Daniel. Your ancestors resisted too. Every one of them eventually understood that fighting the Serpent was pointless.”Daniel clenched his jaw.“I'm not my ancestors.”“No. You are their finest creation.”“I am not yours!”The lights flickered.Daniel
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE: THE WOMAN BEHIND HER EYES
“At last, we’re home.”The voice inside Ava’s head sounded almost tender.That frightened her more than a scream ever could.She stood frozen in the center of the underground chamber, staring at the screen where the words CONSCIOUSNESS TRANSFER: SUCCESSFUL glowed in cold white letters.Black veins spread beneath the skin of her wrist.Then her fingers moved.Not because she wanted them to.Her right hand slowly rose toward her face, stopping just beneath her chin. Ava tried to lower it, but her muscles refused to obey.“Daniel,” she whispered.He was already moving toward her.“Ava!”He caught her left hand, holding it tightly between both of his. His eyes searched her face, desperate to find the woman he knew.“Look at me,” he said. “Whatever is happening, look at me.”Ava forced her eyes toward him.For one terrible second, she saw her own reflection in his pupils—but the woman looking back at her was smiling.Ava wasn't.Daniel's expression changed.“Who are you?” he demanded, star
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride CHAPTER SIXTY: THE WOMAN INSIDE AVA
“I'm standing here because I've been inside you since the day you were born.”Lydia's words left Ava speechless.She stared at the woman who shared her face, struggling to understand what she had just heard.“Inside me?” Ava whispered. “What does that mean?”Lydia tightened her grip on Ava's hand.“My consciousness was transferred into you before you were born. Grandmother believed she could preserve me by giving me a new body. But the transfer was incomplete.”Ava stepped backward.“Then whose memories are mine? Yours or mine?”“Both. But your choices, your feelings, and your experiences belong to you. I never wanted to take those away.”Daniel pulled Ava behind him.“Stay away from her.”Lydia looked at him sadly.“You still don't understand, do you? If you separate us carelessly, Ava could die.”“Then tell us how to stop this!”Before Lydia could answer, the alarm intensified.GLOBAL ACTIVATION: 00:06.Noah rushed toward the control panel.“We have six seconds before the remaining
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE: THE WOMAN AT THE DOOR
“My daughter.”The voice echoed through the chamber.Ava turned slowly toward the doorway.A woman stood beneath the flickering lights, wearing a white dress stained with old blood. Her dark hair fell over her shoulders, and her eyes were identical to Ava's.For a moment, nobody spoke.Then Amara whispered, “It can't be.”The woman smiled sadly.“Hello, little sister.”Amara staggered backward.Ava looked between them, her heart pounding.“Who is she?”Amara's lips trembled. “Celeste was my eldest sister. But this woman…”She swallowed.“This is Lydia. Our mother's first daughter.”The woman stepped into the chamber.“Not quite, Amara. I was the first daughter she acknowledged. There were others before me.”Noah immediately moved toward the control panel.“That's impossible. The system identified Celeste as the first subject.”“Because Mother wanted everyone to believe that,” Lydia replied.Her eyes settled on Ava.“But you don't need to believe anything anymore, darling. You only nee
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT: THE DAUGHTER WHO NEVER DIED
“I'm your grandmother's first daughter.”The voice coming from Daniel's mouth was soft, almost affectionate.“And I'm the one your mother killed to create you.”For several seconds, Ava couldn't breathe.The chamber seemed to shrink around her. The alarms had stopped, the countdown had frozen, and the lights flickered weakly overhead. Yet none of those things mattered anymore.She could hear only those words.Your mother killed me to create you.Slowly, Ava turned toward Amara.Her mother stood beside the shattered console, one hand pressed against her mouth. Tears streamed down her face, but she didn't seem aware of them. Her gaze was fixed on Daniel as if the man she had watched Ava love had suddenly become the ghost of someone she had buried long ago.“Mum?” Ava whispered.Amara shook her head.“No.”Ava took a step toward her.“Tell me she's lying.”Amara's lips trembled.“Please…”“Tell me!”The force of Ava's voice startled everyone.Ethan moved toward her, but Ava raised her ha
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN: THE MAN BEHIND THE BLACK EYES
“Hello, Ava. I’ve been waiting for you.” The voice came from Daniel’s mouth. But it wasn’t Daniel’s voice. It was deeper, colder, and ancient enough to make the air inside the chamber feel suddenly thinner. Every word seemed to travel through the walls before reaching Ava’s ears, as though the entire underground facility had spoken through him. Ava stared at the man she loved. His eyes were completely black. Not dark brown. Not shadowed by the dim lighting. Black. There was no visible white, no reflection, no sign of the familiar warmth that had always made her feel safe, even when the entire world seemed determined to destroy her. “Daniel?” she whispered. His head tilted slightly. The movement was so familiar that it hurt. Daniel used to tilt his head that way whenever she asked him a question he didn't want to answer. Sometimes he did it before kissing her. Sometimes before telling a terrible joke and pretending he expected her to laugh. But this time, there was no tea
