The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife Chapter 126: After the Fall
For a single, fragile second, the world seemed to stop. The gunfire faded. The alarms died. Even the constant hum of the warship went quiet, as if the vessel itself had finally given up. On the central screen, the last line of code disappeared. The Whitmore Protocol was no longer running. Victor leaned back from the console, breathing hard. “It’s done.” Emma stared at the blank display, almost in disbelief. “It’s really… over?” “No,” Sophia said, her voice steady. “Not yet.” The ship answered her. A deep, violent tremor shook the entire command deck. This time it wasn’t just damage it was collapse. The floor shifted sharply beneath them. Metal screamed. Somewhere deep inside the ship, something massive broke apart. Daniel looked up. “Yeah… definitely not over.” Lewis didn’t waste a second. “We move. Now.” The remaining guards were already falling back, their formation broken by the system shutdown and the instability of the ship. Without centralized control, their coo
The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife Chapter 125: The Choice That Stays
Victor’s hands did not stop moving. Lines of code disappeared one after another as he forced his way deeper into the system. The screens flickered rapidly, switching between command layers and security locks that were now breaking apart under pressure. “I’m shutting it down,” he said, his voice tight with focus. “But once I start, there’s no pause. It’s all or nothing.” Emma stayed close, reading every change. “Do it. We don’t have time to be careful anymore.” The ship groaned again, louder this time. A deep crack ran across the far wall, and the lights dimmed before stabilizing again. It felt like the entire structure was seconds away from tearing itself apart. Sophia shifted her position slightly, her attention moving between the door, the ceiling, and Vale. “We need to finish before this section collapses.” Daniel nodded. “Then finish it fast.” Lewis stood near Victor and Emma, but his awareness was not only on the system. It kept returning to Elizabeth. She was still stan
The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife Chapter 124: The Things He Didn’t Say
The impact echoed across the command deck. Metal rang under the force as Adrian Vale’s back hit the console. The screens behind him flickered, data breaking into fragments as systems struggled to keep up with the damage spreading through the ship. For a moment, everything slowed. Even the drones seemed to pause, their movements delayed by the disruption in the system. Lewis held Vale there, his grip firm, controlled. Not reckless. Not emotional in the way others might expect. But there was something different in his eyes now. Something deeper than strategy. Vale did not panic. Even with his back against the console and Lewis inches away, he remained calm. His breathing stayed even, his expression almost thoughtful. “You’ve changed,” he said quietly. Lewis didn’t loosen his grip. “No. I’ve just stopped pretending.” Vale studied him for a second longer, then gave a faint smile. “Is that what you tell yourself?” Before Lewis could respond, a sharp movement came from the side.
The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife Chapter 123: What Still Holds Them Together
The moment shifted fast. One second, it was just words between them. The next, everything became urgent again. Victor’s hands moved quickly over the console, trying to break through the locked system. Emma stood beside him, reading the data as it changed every second. “It’s resisting,” she said. “He’s blocking manual override.” Victor clenched his jaw. “Not fully. There’s still a gap… but it’s closing.” Daniel stepped forward, scanning the room. “Then we don’t stand here talking.” Sophia nodded once. “We move.” Lewis didn’t hesitate this time. “Victor, Emma get us access. Sophia, Daniel cover them.” They moved immediately. It was instinct. Training. Trust. Lewis turned to Elizabeth. “Stay close.” This time, she didn’t argue. But she didn’t look pleased either. “I’m not fragile,” she said quietly. “I know,” he replied. And he meant it. Still, he positioned himself slightly in front of her as they moved toward the center of the room. Not obvious. But intentional.
The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife Chapter 122: Too Close to Stay Unchanged
The command deck did not feel like a battlefield anymore. It felt… personal. The air was still tense, but not because of the screens or the failing ship. Something else had taken over. Something quieter, but far more dangerous. Lewis stood in front, facing Adrian Vale, but his focus was no longer divided between strategy and threat. It had narrowed. Sharpened. Everything now revolved around one thing. Elizabeth. The ship trembled again, harder this time. A low, grinding sound echoed through the walls, like the entire structure was beginning to tear itself apart. Victor checked his device quickly. “We’re losing stability fast. At this rate, we don’t have much time left.” Emma looked around the room. “Then we need to end this now.” But no one moved. Because the real tension was no longer just between them and Vale. It was between Lewis and Elizabeth. Elizabeth stood a few steps behind him, her expression calm, but her body was starting to show signs of strain. She tried to
The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife Chapter 121: The Line He Will Not Cross
The command deck felt different after the truth came out. No one said it aloud, but everyone felt it. The mission was no longer just about stopping Adrian Vale or protecting the Whitmore Protocol. It had become something more personal. Something deeper. Lewis stood a few steps ahead of the team, his eyes fixed on Vale. But his awareness had changed. Every sound, every movement in the room he measured it twice now. Not just as a strategist, but as someone who had something real to protect. Behind him, Elizabeth stood quietly. She did not move closer, but she did not step back either. There was a quiet strength in her posture, even though her body was not at its best. She knew Lewis was aware now. And somehow, that changed the space between them. Not weaker. Stronger. Vale watched them both with interest, like a man studying a new variable in an equation. “You’ve adjusted quickly,” he said, his voice calm as ever. “Most people would hesitate longer.” Lewis did not respond immed

Elizabeth had learned the sound of pressure long before it ever spoke her name.It was the way her phone rang twice before eight in the morning.It was the way her assistant’s voice tightened when she said, “You have a visitor.”It was the way the air in her office suddenly felt heavier expectant.

Lewis didn’t sleep.By dawn, the city outside his windows was washed in pale gray, and his phone lay face-up on the kitchen counter, silent but heavy with unfinished conversations.Elizabeth’s voice replayed in his mind.I won’t let them take this from me.She had never been a woman who spoke in ha
