The first shot wasn’t fired in anger.

It was fired in fear.

A sharp crack split the air from somewhere beyond the perimeter, too fast, too sudden, and every instinct in my body screamed at once. People ducked. Weapons came up. Someone shouted a command that collided with another command and turned into noise.

The machines reacted before anyone finished breathing.

Not by attacking.

By stepping forward.

Concrete groaned as several of them shifted into a defensive arc, massive frames interlocking

  • Three Years With My Billionaire Husband   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE- The Trap

    Adrian’s POVThe phone rang.The sound exploded inside the narrow metal vent like a gunshot.My heart dropped.For one second, the entire world became silent.Then chaos broke loose below.“There’s something in there!” the female doctor shouted pointing towards my location.Her chair scraped loudly across the floor.“I knew I heard something! Check the vents!”My blood turned cold.Boots started moving quickly across the room.Metal trays clattered.“Call security!” someone yelled.I grabbed my phone quickly and tried to silence it, but it was already too late.My fingers trembled as I pressed the screen.Below me, several men were already pointing toward the ceiling.“There! Above us!”“Open it!”I began crawling fast through the vent.The metal tunnel shook beneath my weight as I pushed forward.Every movement made noise.Too much noise.Behind me, I heard the sound of metal being forced open.“They’re inside the vent!”My breathing became heavier.I crawled faster.Dust filled my n

  • Three Years With My Billionaire Husband   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY- The Place Where Hope Was Taken

    Adrian’s POVThe cold metal door closed quietly behind me.Darkness surrounded the narrow stairway leading underground.I paused for a moment.My chest rose and fell slowly as I listened carefully.No voices.No footsteps.Only silence.Every sound I made echoed back at me.I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small black mask. I couldn’t afford to be seen or recognized.I adjusted the black cap on my head. I was on all black. The more attractive the colors are then the better.A strange smell filled the air but I ignored it.Finding Liana was my top priority.Then I stepped forward.Slowly.Carefully.Every movement had to be quiet.Every step had to be controlled.Because one mistake could destroy everything.And more importantly—One mistake could get Liana killed.I pulled the door shut above me and carefully covered the entrance again so it looked exactly the way it had before.Then I walked deeper into the underground passage.The moment I reached the bottom of the stairs,

  • Three Years With My Billionaire Husband   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN- The Promise I Refused to Break

    Adrian’s POVThe engine roared as my car sped down the empty road.My eyes stayed fixed on the small blinking dot on the GPS screen.Liana.Her location flashed again.Still moving.Still alive.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white.My jaw clenched.“Hold on Liana… I’m coming for you” I muttered under my breath.The road ahead blurred as the speed increased.Wind rushed loudly against the windows.But I barely noticed.My mind was somewhere else.Back to the moment I placed the necklace around her neck.I remembered how gently I had done it.Like the necklace was something precious.But it wasn’t just jewelry.Hidden inside it was a tiny tracker.And something else.A listening device.I had known they would come for her.It was only a matter of time.Dr. Wally would never stop hunting for Amara.And Liana…Liana looked exactly like her.I had hoped they would take the bait.That they would bring her to their new factory.That they would lead me str

  • Three Years With My Billionaire Husband   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN- The Things They Turned Us Into

    Liana’s POVThe men dragged me through a long, dark tunnel.My feet scraped against the cold ground as I struggled to keep up with their pace. My ribs still burned from the beating earlier. Every breath felt sharp and painful.The tunnel smelled damp and rotten.Water dripped slowly from the ceiling. Drop by drop.The sound echoed around us like a slow ticking clock.I could only think of one person at the moment.Adrian.Save me, please.That was all my heart wished for.Fear still sat heavily in my chest.I had no idea where they were taking me.And something inside me whispered that wherever we were going… it was not a place people returned from.Suddenly the men slowed down.We passed a large metal cage.My head turned instinctively.And my heart stopped.People.There were dozens of people locked inside.Men.Women.Even teenagers.Their bodies were thin and bruised. Some had cuts across their faces. Others had bandages wrapped around their arms and legs.They wore a white gowns

  • Three Years With My Billionaire Husband   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN- The Fear That Broke My Silence

    Liana’s POVMy legs shook so badly the chair beneath me scraped loudly across the floor.I couldn’t stop it.My body refused to listen to me.Every muscle trembled as if my bones had suddenly turned weak.Dr. Wally walked slowly around me.Not hurried.Not angry.Calm.Too calm.His shoes tapped lightly against the concrete floor as he circled me like a man inspecting something he owned.My breathing became shallow.Each time he passed behind me, my shoulders tightened.Then he stopped.Right behind me.I felt his presence before he even touched me.My entire body stiffened.Suddenly—He leaned down.His nose brushed the side of my hair.And then he inhaled.Slowly.Like he was enjoying the scent of my hair.A wave of disgust crawled down my spine.My stomach twisted violently.My fingers curled helplessly against the ropes.My chest was beating so hard I thought it would burst open.Then he spoke.Quietly.Almost gently.“I know you did not lose your memories.”My heart slammed again

  • Three Years With My Billionaire Husband   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN- The Fear I Couldn’t Hide

    Liana’s POVI blinked several times.At first, everything was blurry.My eyes burned as they had been closed for too long. Shapes slowly moved in front of me, dark shadows shifting in the dim light.Then my vision slowly cleared.The first thing I noticed was the smell.It hit my nose so suddenly that my stomach twisted.The air smelled horrible.Rotten.Damp.Like old walls that had never seen sunlight.I swallowed hard, trying not to gag.Then I looked around.The room was small and dark. The walls were stained and rough, and there was only a single tiny bulb hanging from the ceiling above me. The weak light flickered slightly, making the shadows move across the room like ghosts.My heart immediately started racing.That was when I realized something even worse.I couldn’t move.My arms were pulled behind me, tightly tied to the back of a chair. Thick ropes pressed painfully against my wrists.My legs were tied too.My mouth—My mouth was covered with cloth.A muffled sound escaped

    The knock did not come from the door.It came from the building itself.A vibration ran through the walls first, low and ugly, like the structure was clearing its throat before saying something terrible. I sat up in bed instantly, heart already sprinting, brain lagging half a step behind, trying to

    The fence did not fall all at once.That was the mistake they made later when they tried to rewrite it.It bent first. Groaned. Shuddered under the weight of bodies and momentum and something louder than fear. Anger sharpened by clarity. The kind that comes when people realize the rules were never
