Semua Bab One Night, One Baby, One Billionaire Mess: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Damian's jaw clenched and eyes hollowed with calculation. He did not speak for a while after Julian's call, as if the next thing he heard would undo what had just been said. Dominic had asked for Liam's photo, not Damian's or mine. I did not want to say it, but I had to. "He is hunting him."Damian finally looked into my eyes. "And so is Liam." DAMIAN A week ago, I was planning to burn everything down in vengeance. Now I was doing it for safety. Julian set up a satellite recon of the site in Croatia. It was more of a castle than a school, with towering gates, armed instructors, and tactical maneuvers. Dominic was going through conditioning. The twisted part? He was a good person. "His IQ is registering at genius level," Julian remarked. "My motor abilities are five years ahead of the average. Psychological assessments reveal sociopathy, although under control." I did not even blink. "He is being prepared to lead something." Julian paused. "Or you could replace someo

AVA We did not fall asleep. Not exactly. Damian, Liam, Dominic, and I laid together, Hope curled beside us. A family brought together by fate, wrath, and decisions none of us wanted to make. Camille had already made her move. There were already two active locks on the Omega Protocol. We had less than sixty hours. And the last lock? Liam.My young kid, who still requested me to check under his bed at night, was now the final barrier between survival and extinction. DAMIAN Cassian slipped in beneath the radar. He had not aged very well. Your eyes are fatigued. Lowering of the shoulders. But he carried himself as if he had finally chosen to complete the conflict he helped start. We met in a decrepit farmhouse on the French-Swiss border, close enough to Camille's control tower to strike but far enough away to watch her make mistakes. "She thinks she is already won," Cassian explained, laying out a plan. "She has no idea I have removed her biometric backup." I noticed

AVA Complete silence. No alerts. There are no lights. There was no breathing—only the four of us, gasping in the pitch black, surrounded by the sound of our own horror. Genesis has disappeared into the darkness. The vault power grid had crumbled when Dominic became stuck in the drive. Cassian's flash upgrade had caused a system-wide blackout. That just provided us one thing. Time. "Has he died?" Liam muttered, grabbing my sleeve. I shook my head slowly. "No. But he is down. "And we run." DAMIAN The last thing I saw before the lights went out was Genesis's face cracking. Not bleeding. Not broken.Glitching. As if the rewriting had not erased him. It baffled him. Dominic exploited Cassian's override to replace Genesis' command logic with looped neural feedback. In other words, we did not kill him. We simply locked him in his own thoughts. This meant we only had minutes. Perhaps seconds. We sprinted. Julian's voice vibrated softly in my earpiece. "The doors

AVA The air in Finland did more than just freeze; it bit. Isolation feels cold. Cold memory. I walked out of the plane into a silent landscape of white. There are no guards. There are no drones. Only snow-covered concrete and a hatch carved into the side of a glacier. The Womb. Genesis' final stronghold. Mine, too. When I neared, the metal door hissed open. There is no code. There is no key. He had expected me. I went inside. Alone. Every step echoed against the steel walls, like a heartbeat I did not want to hear.DAMIAN I was not keeping an eye on the jet. I was following along. Julian redirected a tracker into Ava's wristwatch, making it micro-embedded and invisible. We saw the coordinates light up as she landed. "Two kilometers from the old DNA forge," Julian mumbled. "Underground, insulated, and self-sustaining." Genesis had made his own planet. This is a new one. With Ava at the center. But he would underestimated something. She was not stepping int

AVA I could not help but stare at the report. not the embryo. Not the cryosignature. But what about the words? Ava Reynolds is the mother (proxy copy). She was not only attempting to imitate me anymore. She was trying to give birth through me. Or, through my stolen body, my likeness. Genesis left behind a clone.They did not recognize me by name. I was a blueprint. And they had found someone to complete the scheme. Camille began with blood and lies. DAMIAN I had seen terror before. But never this personal. Julian located the lab to a remote hillside in Moldova. Privately owned. Unlisted. However, the funding comes from old CrossTech companies. "Knox is preparing for transfer," he informed us. "He plans to implant the embryo within 48 hours. "He is utilizing your clone, Ava." Ava clinched her jaw but did not flinch. "This time," she continued softly, "we burn the entire program down." AVA Later, Liam caught me crying in the hallway. It is not loud. I di
