wounded Heart Chapter 150: Unguarded Hearts Eternal
The spring air carried the scent of renewal as sunset painted the Rodriguez estate gardens in hues of amber and gold. One year after the confrontation that had nearly cost them everything, the grounds buzzed with anticipation. White chairs arranged in graceful arcs faced an elegant arbor where Alex Rodriguez waited, his gaze fixed on the garden path.James stood beside his brother, their matching charcoal suits a stark contrast to the vibrant flowers surrounding them. The past year had transformed their relationship—the neural bridge that had momentarily connected them during Project Lazarus had left echoes of understanding that neither could ignore."Nervous?" James asked, straightening Alex's tie with uncharacteristic brotherly affection."Not about marrying her," Alex replied, a smile softening his features. "About the speech later."The Rodriguez Foundation for Restorative Justice would officially launch tonight, immediately following the ceremony. What had begun as a whispered pr
wounded Heart Chapter 149: Boundless
The Rodriguez estate laboratory hummed with tension as technicians worked frantically to prepare for the unprecedented procedure. Six floors beneath the mansion's manicured gardens, Project Lazarus awaited its subjects—a gleaming chamber of curved glass and polished titanium that seemed to belong more to the future than the present."Vital signs stabilizing," Eliana announced, her voice steadier than her hands as she adjusted the neural interface. "The spike is receding."Franco studied the readings with narrowed eyes. "Not receding. Controlled. They're learning to manage the connection."James paced the perimeter of the lab, phone pressed to his ear. "Security perimeter confirmed. No unauthorized access within five miles." He lowered his voice. "Double the patrols anyway."Inside the shared consciousness, Alex and Sonia floated in a reality of their own making—a mental landscape where thought and emotion manifested as tangible things. Here, they appeared as themselves, facing each ot
wounded Heart Chapter 148: Between Two Souls
Thirty-six hours of neural stasis had transformed the Rodriguez Tower medical bay into a strange blend of cutting-edge laboratory and vigilant sanctuary. Franco and Eliana Martinez hadn't left their daughter's side, their exhausted faces illuminated by the soft glow of monitoring equipment while they worked tirelessly to prepare the restoration protocol."The genetic sequencing is complete," Eliana announced, studying results on her tablet. "The templates from Marcel's lab are uncorrupted."Franco nodded, rubbing his bloodshot eyes. "And the neural mapping?""Stable, for now," Eliana replied, gently touching the unconscious form that housed both their daughter and the man she loved. "The stasis is holding."James entered quietly, carrying fresh coffee. The past day and a half had etched new lines on his face, his usually impeccable appearance now rumpled from consecutive board meetings and security briefings."Any change?" he asked, handing the scientists their cups."We're ready to b
wounded Heart Chapter 147: Breaking the Partition
The eastern research wing of Rodriguez Tower blazed with emergency lighting as Alex/Sonia navigated the corridors, each step a negotiation between two minds controlling one body. James flanked them on the right, weapon drawn, while Thompson led the security team ahead."Marcel's operatives breached containment in Lab Seven," James reported, checking the tactical display on his wrist. "Four minutes ago.""The cryogenic storage," Alex's voice emerged, before shifting to Sonia's cadence. "He's after the original genetic templates."Their shared body stumbled, a neural misfire sending pain cascading through their nervous system. James caught them before they fell, alarm evident in his expression."This is madness," he hissed. "You need to be in medical. Both of you.""No time," they responded, the voices overlapping in eerie harmony. "If Marcel secures those templates, he controls the future of neural technology. Including our only chance to restore Sonia."The unspoken truth hung between
wounded Heart Chapter 146: The Cost of Love
The medical bay of Rodriguez Tower had transformed into a battlefield where life waged war against death. Alex and Sonia lay on adjacent beds, their bodies motionless but surrounded by frantic activity as medical staff worked to restart their hearts."Three minutes in cardiac arrest," a doctor called out, her voice clinical but edged with urgency. "Continuing resuscitation protocol."James stood in the doorway, his normally impeccable appearance disheveled, watching as the medical team fought to revive his brother and sister-in-law. Behind him, Franco and Eliana clung to each other, scientists' composure crumbling under parental terror."Their neural patterns are still active," Franco observed, studying the brain wave monitors with desperate hope. "Somehow, they're still connected to the system—and to each other."Within the digital landscape, Alex floated in a luminous void. The searing pain of neural feedback had faded, replaced by weightless suspension. He could no longer feel his
wounded Heart Chapter 145: The Legacy Reborn
The descent through emergency stairwells seemed endless as Alex and Sonia raced toward the vault level, Thompson guarding their rear. Each floor they passed displayed increasing signs of chaos—flickering emergency lights and security protocols failing in cascading patterns that made Alex's heart pound with growing dread."Three more levels," Thompson announced, his voice tight with urgency.Sonia stumbled, her hand flying to her temple. Alex caught her instantly, supporting her weight against him."It's accelerating," she whispered, eyes unfocused. "The neural feedback loop..."Alex studied her face, noting the blue veins now visible beneath her increasingly pale skin. "We need to get you to medical.""No," she insisted, straightening with visible effort. "The vault first. Everything depends on it."When she swayed again, Alex made his decision. In one fluid motion, he swept her into his arms, carrying her down the remaining flights."I can walk," she protested weakly."Save your stre
