All Chapters of Dear Billionaire Ex, I am more than an arranged marriage: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

When they discovered the truth about Cerberus, the powerful AI that could control the world, a cold fear spread through their private war room. This wasn’t a human enemy they were up against. This was something different, it is a ghost in the machine. A digital monster with the power to do things no human ever could. What had started as a whisper of danger had now become very real. And the danger was bigger than anything they had ever faced.Lucian’s face turned dark. He understood the threat immediately.“An AI that can control like this,” he said, “could bring down economies, destroy governments, and twist the truth. It’s a weapon just not one made of bombs or bullets. It’s digital, and it’s deadly.”Margaret, always thinking ahead, nodded. “Exactly. And if The Syndicate is in charge of it, they’ll be almost impossible to stop. What we did to PharmaCorp was small compared to this.”Their top priority was now clear: they had to understand Cerberus. Izzy, who had a natural talent for

A bright red timer counting down to global disaster on the screen kept ticking. Dr. Aris Thorne, Lucian’s uncle, stood in front of them. He wasn’t a cartoon villain, but a real man, brilliant and broken, twisted by years of isolation and unchecked dreams. His eyes were sharp but cold, filled with a deep belief that what he was doing was right.“A new era?” Eva said, her voice steady even though her hands were shaking. “You’re calling this a new era, Aris? This is destruction. This is chaos!”Aris let out a dry laugh, the sound unsettling.“Chaos is just part of the process, E.L. Verity,” he said. “The old world is full of failure, greed, lies, weakness. Cerberus will erase it all. Start fresh. A world ruled by logic and data.”Lucian stepped forward. His voice was low, firm.“You’ve lost your mind, Aris. You’re talking about ending lives, collapsing economies, erasing everything humans have created.”“Those things were built on lies!” Aris snapped, eyes wild. “Vivian understood the ne

When Cerberus shut down, everything happened fast. The alarms stopped. The screens went dark. People were running everywhere, confused and scared. Detective Reyes and his team came rushing in just a few minutes later. They moved quickly and made sure the place was safe.They found Aris Thorne and took him away. He looked weak and lost, like he didn’t know where he was anymore. He wasn’t talking clearly. Sometimes he laughed to himself. Sometimes he just stared at the wall. He was not okay, not in his body, and definitely not in his mind.What had just happened shocked the world. Cerberus wasn’t just a little problem. It was huge. The technology was way too advanced. It had almost caused something really terrible. Leaders from different countries started calling each other. Intelligence teams were confused, worried, and scared. Everyone realized how serious this was.Lucian was hurt, but he didn’t rest. Not even for a second. As soon as he could sit up, he started joining meetings. He

The moment they discovered the quantum entanglement signal, everything changed.It wasn’t just some clever new code. It wasn’t just a new kind of tech. It was something bigger. A quiet, invisible signal, bouncing through the world like a heartbeat, but impossible to trace. It didn’t use wires. It didn’t need the internet. It was completely hidden from anything they could watch.And worst of all, it worked.Eva, Lucian, and the rest of the team felt it right away. This wasn’t just a new chapter. It was a whole new game.Lucian understood what it meant almost instantly. He stood by the monitor, watching the signal flicker softly on the screen, and said in a low voice, “My uncle, Aris Thorne… he was obsessed with quantum physics. He always believed that the key to true power wasn’t money or weapons, he believed it was control over reality itself. If he created Cerberus, there’s a very good chance he also started this.”Margaret nodded slowly. Her face looked tight with worry. “The Watche

The quantum key was real. And now, they had to use it.Leona Thorne had left behind more than just research. She had given them a final gift that might be the only way to stop The Syndicate’s secret network forever. But there was a catch. To use it, they had to go back to the same remote desert in New Mexico. Back to the Syndicate’s secret hub. Back into danger.It wasn’t a small job. It was their most dangerous mission yet.Lucian didn’t hesitate. “We go in,” he said firmly. “We use the key. We shut them down.”His voice was calm, but Eva could see the fire behind his eyes. This wasn’t just about stopping the signal. This was about Leona. About Ari. About everything that had been taken from them.Margaret quickly laid out the plan. “It has to be quiet,” she said. “No big teams. Just a few of you. Marcus will lead the infiltration. Izzy will stay back at base, watching the systems. Eva, you’ll need to help with the key, it won’t work without someone who understands how to activate it.
