wounded Heart Chapter 135: Designed Lives
The digital countdown flashed menacingly at 02:48:37 as Alex turned to his team, mind racing to formulate a plan. The revelation that Marcel had been one step ahead of them all along burned like acid, but there was no time for self-recrimination."Franco," Alex commanded, "get on those terminals. Find out everything you can about the kill switch mechanism."The scientist nodded grimly, already moving toward the main workstation."James, help Eliana secure any research data. Download everything—we need to understand exactly what we're dealing with." Alex then turned to Geneva. "Contact your international connections. We need to identify as many Lazarus subjects as possible before time runs out."Sonia stood beside him, her expression resolute despite the shock of Marcel's revelations."What about me?"Alex met her gaze, struck by how even now, with the world literally counting down to chaos, her presence steadied him. "Help me find Marcel. He's still here somewhere—he wouldn't trigger

The sleek convoy of black SUVs wound its way along the narrow roads hugging Lake Como, the water's surface reflecting the late afternoon sun like scattered diamonds. In the lead vehicle, Alex sat beside Sonia, his hand still clasped in hers as though it were a lifeline. James occupied the seat across from them, his expression somber as he studied a tablet containing the schematics of the DuPont summer house—or what was officially documented of it.Behind them, Geneva, Eliana, and Franco followed in the second vehicle, along with a team of security personnel and medical staff equipped with the precious counter-agent. They had managed to synthesize twenty additional doses during their brief stopover, but it was a mere drop in the ocean compared to what they would need."We're five minutes out," the driver announced, his voice carefully professional.Alex nodded, then turned to Sonia. "Are you sure you want to come inside? This isn't your fight."She gave him a look that silenced him ins
wounded Heart Chapter 133: What He Left Behind
The message from Elisabeth flashed on the screen, its red letters casting an ominous glow across their faces."Contingency Omega?" Sonia repeated, her voice tight with dread. "What does that mean?"Geneva moved to the communications panel with surprising speed, her fingers flying across the keyboard. "It means Marcel had a failsafe. If he was ever captured, he could remotely activate all subjects who'd been given the Lazarus protocol.""How many people are we talking about?" Alex demanded, already reaching for his phone.Eliana answered, her face ashen. "Hundreds. Maybe thousands. People in positions of power across twenty-seven countries. Each one programmed with specific instructions to execute if this signal was sent."The jet's cabin, previously tense but controlled, erupted into urgent activity. Franco opened the case containing the counter-agent, revealing only twelve remaining vials."Not nearly enough," he said. "We need to mass-produce this immediately."Alex stepped away to
wounded Heart Chapter 132: The Last Hope
The Rodriguez private jet cut through cloud cover, its luxurious cabin now a makeshift war room. Six hours had passed since DuPont's arrest, and the group had retreated to neutral territory—thirty thousand feet above the Atlantic.Eliana sat beside Franco, their hands intertwined after years of separation. Across from them, Geneva occupied a single seat, her posture rigid despite her apparent victory. Alex and Sonia faced each other at the small conference table, documents spread between them, while James stood by the window, watching the endless blue horizon, his face unreadable."The board has frozen all DuPont Industries assets pending investigation," Alex announced, setting down his phone. "Elisabeth is cooperating fully. Forty-one of the forty-three affected individuals have been located and treated with the counter-agent.""And the other two?" Sonia asked."Missing," Alex replied grimly. "High-level government officials who disappeared from their scheduled itineraries within the
wounded Heart Chapter 131: The Awakening
Eliana Martinez had awakened sixteen minutes before Geneva's monitor detected her altered vital signs. The penthouse suite, for all its luxury, was unmistakably a prison. Thick curtains blocked the windows, and the elegant furniture couldn't disguise the electronic locks on the doors.She sat perfectly still on the edge of the bed, eyes fixed on the man standing across from her."You look remarkably calm for someone in your position," Marcel DuPont observed, swirling amber liquid in a crystal tumbler."This isn't the first time men have underestimated me," Eliana replied, her voice steady despite the fear coursing through her veins. Twenty years in academia had taught her to mask vulnerability. "I assume this is about Project Lazarus."DuPont's eyebrow arched slightly. "So you do remember. How fascinating.""Some things cannot be forgotten, Marcel, no matter how deeply you try to bury them." She glanced toward the door where two guards stood. "Carlos warned me this day might come.""C
wounded Heart Chapter 130: Countermeasures
The bunker descended into chaos after DuPont's departure. Franco paced frantically, his face contorted with fear for his wife. "We need to find her location immediately.""How could Mother be involved in Project Lazarus?" Sonia demanded, her world tilting on its axis. "All these years, she never said a word."Geneva approached her, compassion softening her normally stoic features. "Your mother was brought in specifically because of her ethics background. She was meant to be the conscience of the project.""And the counter-agent?" Alex asked, arm still around Sonia's shoulders."Eliana helped develop the neurological framework," Geneva confirmed. "When she discovered Marcel's intentions to weaponize the research, she and Carlos created a failsafe."Elisabeth, still processing her own betrayal, spoke up. "That explains why our attempts to perfect the long-term stability have failed. The original research was deliberately modified."James turned to her sharply. "You're saying DuPont knew
