The Night My Best-Friend Ruined Me Chapter 151
Adrian’s POVThe hospital alert hit my phone like a physical shove.For a second I just stared at the screen, trying to make the words behave like something normal. The last word on the line was the only one that mattered to me.Leo.Aria saw my face change before I said anything. She was still at the console, one hand braced on the damaged frame, the other moving through the broken sequence with the kind of focus that only comes when a person is too scared to stop working. Julian was already halfway to the side door, scanning the corridor and listening for movement outside.“What is it?” Aria asked.I handed her the phone without speaking.Her eyes moved once across the screen, then widened in a way I had only seen when the world had already gone too far.“The hospital,” she said, almost flatly.“Yes.”Julian came back toward us immediately. “They are hitting the recovery wing?”“That is what the alert says.”Aria’s face drained of color. She looked from the screen to Leo in my arms
The Night My Best-Friend Ruined Me Chapter 150
Adrian’s POVThe alarms stopped so suddenly that the silence felt wrong.For one second, nobody in the control room moved. Veronica’s face had vanished from the main screen. Edmund was still half turned toward it, his expression tight. The countdown had stuttered out of rhythm. Aria stood with one hand on the chamber panel, breathing hard, staring at Leo. Julian had gone still near the side console, ready for another blast that did not come.I was the first to move.“Leo,” I said.My voice sounded rough even to me. I reached for the chamber latch and forced it wider. The lock gave with a hard metallic click. Cold air spilled out, carrying disinfectant and something chemical underneath it. Aria looked like she had forgotten how to breathe.“I know,” I said when she looked at me.Leo was not crying anymore. He was too frightened for that. His eyes kept moving between us and the chamber behind him. I held my hand out slowly and he reached for me with a shaking one. I lifted him out with
The Night My Best-Friend Ruined Me Chapter 149
Aria’s POVLeo screamed.The sound hit me so hard my whole body stopped for a second. Julian was still at the relay console, one hand pressed against the override, his face twisted in pain. The screens around us flashed white, then red, then white again. Adrian was already moving toward him. Veronica had gone very still. Edmund looked offended, which made me want to hit him.Leo screamed again.That broke me out of it.I ran.“Aria,” Adrian called behind me, but I ignored him. The corridor lights had dropped into emergency red, and the floor vibrated under my shoes because the system was fighting whatever Julian had forced into it. I followed the route we had marked earlier, barely seeing straight. Every door felt too slow. Every turn felt too narrow.Then I heard it.A high, thin hum.The same sound Leo had described in his nightmares.I stopped so fast my shoulder hit the wall. The sound was coming from deeper in the facility, near the chamber, and the lights flashing through a brok
The Night My Best-Friend Ruined Me Chapter 148
Julian’s POVEverything had gone wrong too fast.The control room shook again, hard enough to rattle the metal beneath my boots. Sparks burst from the ruined terminal. Veronica was screaming at someone through her comms. Edmund looked furious for the first time since I had met him, which honestly should have satisfied me more than it did.Instead, all I could think about was Leo.The kid was still trapped somewhere in this nightmare because every adult around him had turned his life into a battlefield.Aria pushed herself back to the damaged console, breathing hard. Adrian moved beside her immediately, steadying the broken screen with one hand while trying to read the shifting data. The two of them fell into step with each other so naturally it made something bitter twist in my chest.Even now.Even after everything.I hated that I noticed it.Another violent tremor ripped through the room. A warning siren started blaring overhead, low and ugly. I looked toward the far wall and saw th
The Night My Best-Friend Ruined Me Chapter 147
Adrian’s POVLeo’s voice cracked through the control room.“Mama.”It was barely a word, but it changed the room anyway. Veronica’s smile slipped for the first time. Edmund turned toward the screen so fast I thought he might break his own neck. The countdown on the wall stuttered, then flickered out of its clean rhythm. Aria moved immediately, hands already flying over the terminal, her face gone pale with focus. Julian shifted to the left side of the room, eyes on the guards, jaw tight. I felt my own chest go cold because Leo had spoken, and that meant he was awake enough to be afraid.Aria did not look at me when she said, “The synchronization just slipped.”“I see it.”The frequency Leo had triggered, or maybe echoed without meaning to, was disturbing the activation sequence. Not stopping it, not yet. Just throwing it off balance. I took one step toward the main console, and Veronica snapped, “Do not touch that.”I stared at her. “You already lost control.”“No,” she said. “I have
The Night My Best-Friend Ruined Me Chapter 146
Aria’s POVFor one terrible second, nobody moved.Veronica’s smile stayed in place. Edmund looked pleased with himself in a way that made my skin crawl. The screen behind them kept counting down, the numbers changing with a calm that felt obscene. Save your son, or save the world. She said it like she was offering us a fair bargain instead of a wound designed to split us open.My body went cold first. Then angry. Then oddly still.Leo flashed in my mind. His small hand in mine. I could not let Veronica turn my child into a bargaining chip. I could not let this be the thing that ended him.I heard Adrian inhale beside me. Julian shifted on my other side, already alert, already calculating. They were both waiting for me in different ways, and that almost made me laugh, because the world had become so cruel that even the men I barely trusted anymore were now standing with their hands half raised, expecting me to decide the shape of the next disaster.“Do not answer her yet,” Adrian said,
The Night My Best-Friend Ruined Me Chapter 9
Aria's povI stared at the black-and-gold invitation on my desk like it was a live grenade.A welcome gala. Mandatory attendance.Adrian was really leaning into the whole tyrannical billionaire thing, wasn’t he?I rubbed my temples, feeling the dull throb of a headache that had been my constant com

Aria's povThe morning was a complete disaster.Everything felt heavy, like I was walking through chest-deep water while someone threw rocks at my head.I was trying to get Leo’s socks on, but he was in one of those moods where he just wouldn't sit still.My hands were shaking, and it wasn't even f

Adrian POV I hadn't slept.I’d spent the last six hours in the dark, the blue light of my tablet searing my retinas as I stared at the grainy photos my private investigator had sent from Seattle.The timeline was a mess. It didn't make any sense how a girl who ran away with nothing could suddenly

Julian’s POVThe sun wasn't even fully up when my phone started ringing loudly on the nightstand.It wasn’t the normal ringtone I got when there was an incoming call. It was more like a high-pitched, jagged alert—the one I’d programmed into the smart-watch I bought Leo for his birthday. It was sup
