Pagkatapos ng sinabi ni Yuhei, parang huminto ang lahat.Hindi dahil walang mangyayari—Kundi dahil masyadong marami ang puwedeng mangyari.Tahimik si Adrian.Hindi na siya ngumiti.Pero hindi rin siya nagbago ng stance.Parang ina-assess niya kung hanggang saan kayang dalhin ni Yuhei ang sarili niya.“You really think you can take down something you don’t even understand?” tanong niya.Hindi uma

The Cold Billionaire’s Bought Wife CHAPTER 115: THE RETURN OF VALERIE
The monitor remained black after Valerie's message ended. Nobody spoke, and nobody seemed willing to move. The name itself had already changed the atmosphere inside the sanctuary. Mira stood in front of the screen, her eyes fixed on the reflection of her own face. For years, she had believed her sister was gone. She had accepted the possibility that she would never see her again, even if a small part of her had always refused to believe it.Now Valerie was standing somewhere inside the facility.Alive.And apparently, she had been waiting for this moment.“Mira,” Yuhei called softly.His mother didn't respond.He approached her carefully. “Who is she?”Mira finally looked at him. Her expression was difficult to read, but Yuhei could see the fear behind her eyes.“She was my younger sister.”“Why didn't you tell me about her?”“Because I thought she was dead.”Yuhei glanced toward the monitor. “But she knows about Winter. She knows about this place. And she knows our family.”Mira nodd
The Cold Billionaire’s Bought Wife CHAPTER 114: THE NAME BENEATH HIS MEMORY
The Winter Core came alive.A deep mechanical vibration traveled through the sanctuary, making the glass panels tremble. The lights above them flickered repeatedly, while the monitors displayed hundreds of rapidly changing symbols. Yuhei remained beside Elijah, holding his shoulders as the latter slowly lifted his head. Something about his expression had changed. His eyes were open, but the familiar warmth that Yuhei had always recognized in them was missing.“Are you okay?” Yuhei asked.Elijah didn't respond.“Eli?”The name seemed to reach him. His eyes shifted toward Yuhei, and for a brief moment, the familiar expression returned. But it disappeared almost immediately when he looked toward Elias.“You came back,” Elijah whispered.Elias smiled. “Of course I did.”Yuhei's grip tightened around Elijah's shoulder. “What did you do to him?”“Nothing that wasn't already inside him.”“Stop speaking in riddles.”Elias looked at Yuhei with an almost amused expression. “You still have your
The Cold Billionaire’s Bought Wife CHAPTER 113:THE THIRD ARCHITECT
For several seconds, nobody moved.The room seemed to become smaller after Mira's warning. Yuhei's eyes remained fixed on Elijah, trying to understand why his mother had suddenly pointed at him. Elijah stood near the doorway, completely silent, while Leon and Riven looked between them with confusion written across their faces. Orion, on the other hand, didn't look surprised.That was what frightened Yuhei the most.“You knew,” Yuhei said quietly.Orion looked at him.“I suspected.”“Suspected what?”“That Elijah was connected to Winter.”Elijah's expression immediately hardened. “That's a lie.”Mira slowly stepped away from the central chamber. “No. Orion isn't lying.”Elijah shook his head. “I don't know what you're talking about.”Yuhei stared at him. “Then why did my mother tell me to look at you?”“I don't know.”His answer came too quickly.Riven noticed it too. He moved toward the nearest console and began searching through the sanctuary's database. “Give me a second.”Elijah lo
The Cold Billionaire’s Bought Wife CHAPTER 112:THE WOMAN BELOW
The hidden door slammed shut behind them, leaving the five of them trapped inside the narrow chamber. The sound of the metal locking into place echoed through the underground facility, followed by an uncomfortable silence. Yuhei remained frozen in front of the staircase, staring at the darkness below. The voice he had just heard was still playing inside his mind.Mira.His mother had spoken to him again.Not through an old recording.Not through a damaged file.It had sounded real.Alive.“Did you hear that?” Elijah asked quietly.Yuhei nodded without taking his eyes away from the staircase. “Yes.”Leon immediately approached the sealed door and tried the emergency release. Nothing happened. He pressed the control again, harder this time, but the panel remained completely dead.“Locked from the other side.”Riven was already examining the wall. “There isn't an electronic access point anymore. The entire section has been isolated.”Yuhei finally turned around. “Can you open it?”Riven
The Cold Billionaire’s Bought Wife CHAPTER 111:THE FACE HE REMEMBERED
For several seconds, nobody moved.Yuhei stood in the middle of Vault Zero with his eyes fixed on the dark monitor. The words I remember still seemed to echo inside his head, but what frightened him most was not the memory itself. It was the face attached to it.A face he knew.A face he had trusted.A face that should never have been there.His breathing became uneven as another fragment of the memory pushed through his mind. The corridor was burning. The air was filled with smoke, alarms were screaming somewhere above him, and Mira was holding his hand tightly. He remembered the warmth of her palm. He remembered the fear in her voice. He remembered Orion standing several meters away, shouting something he could no longer hear.And behind them stood someone else.Someone who had watched everything happen.Yuhei closed his eyes and pressed a hand against his forehead. The memory disappeared as quickly as it had arrived, leaving behind a painful pressure that made him stagger.Elijah i
The Cold Billionaire’s Bought Wife CHAPTER 110: THE MEMORY HE HID
The room remained completely silent after Mira’s recording ended. The faint blue light from the monitor continued to flicker across the walls of Vault Zero, illuminating the faces of Yuhei, Orion, Elijah, Leon, and Riven. Nobody moved. Nobody seemed willing to break the silence first. But for Yuhei, the words from his mother kept repeating inside his head, becoming louder with every passing second.Especially the person who has been protecting you from the beginning.Yuhei slowly lowered the watch in his hand. His fingers tightened around it as he looked directly at Orion. For years, that old watch had been the one thing he could associate with safety. It was the object Orion had given him when he was young, the object he had kept even when almost every other memory from his childhood had disappeared. He had believed that Orion gave it to him because he cared about him.Now, for the first time, Yuhei wondered if the watch had never been a gift at all.“Bakit?” His voice was quiet, but
