All Chapters of Felon- A Dark Mafia Romance: Chapter 131 - Chapter 135

Chapter Thirty-Three: The People Behind the Pattern Emma Volkov The timestamp was still blinking when Lucas entered the room again. He had gone to check the physical systems. I had stayed behind. Neither of us trusted the screens anymore. That was the first change. We had spent weeks believing that information appearing on a display was something we could examine objectively. Now every line of data felt like a participant. Every number had context. Every context had a consequence. And every consequence changed the next number. Lucas stopped beside me. “Everything's normal.” I looked at him. “Normal?” “As normal as anything can be.” “That isn't an answer.” “No.” He glanced at the display. “Which is why I brought this.” He placed a small black drive on the table. I stared at it. “What's that?” “Offline archive.” “From where?” “Viktor.” My expression hardened. “When did he send it?” “While we were dealing with the synchronization event.” “You didn't tell me.

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Choice Beneath ArkEmma VolkovThe deeper we went, the less Ark looked like a building.It became a machine.The walls were no longer concrete alone.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Original Lie Emma Volkov The door opened somewhere beneath us. We heard it. A deep mechanical release. Then the sound of something heavy moving across rails. No one spoke. My father was staring into the darkness. Lucas stood beside me. Viktor had gone completely still. I looked at my father. “You said you disappeared because you discovered who created Ark.” “Yes.” “Who?” He didn't answer. “Dad.” His expression changed at the word. It was the first time I had called him that since seeing him again. Not Professor Volkov. Not Aleksandr. Dad. Something broke across his face. Regret. Then fear. “Come with me.” He walked toward the newly opened door. I followed. Lucas followed me. Viktor came last. The staircase descended farther than the previous levels. Much farther. The air became colder. The walls changed from concrete to exposed stone. This part hadn't been renovated. It felt older than Ark itself. My father kept one hand aga
