All Chapters of In His World : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Elena POVVictoria was still gripping Adrian's hand desperately and I could see the terror in her eyes, and I knew we needed to hear everything she had to say before someone discovered we were here."Please," I said moving closer. "Tell us what you mean about Vanessa being evil, we need to understand what's happening."Victoria's hands were trembling and she kept glancing at the door like she expected someone to burst through at any moment. "Vanessa has been obsessed with genetics since we were young girls, with the idea of creating perfect children.""Creating children?" Adrian's voice was strained. "What do you mean creating?""She studied genetics in university and became fixated on the idea that she could design babies, could select the perfect traits and combine them to make superior humans." Victoria wiped her eyes with her free hand. "Everyone thought she was brilliant but I saw the darkness in it, saw how obsessed she became.""And she's been doing this for forty years?" I ask

Elena POVThe twins are in danger and the words kept repeating in my head while I stared at Adrian holding the phone, and my blood ran cold because Vanessa was here in London and she wanted our daughters."We need to leave," I said and my voice came out shaky. "Right now, we need to get them somewhere safe."Adrian nodded and ended the call with Marcus. "Where do we go?""I don't know but anywhere is better than here if Vanessa knows where we live." I stood up and went to the bassinet where Rose and Violet were sleeping. "We need to pack quickly and get out before she makes her move.""Okay." Adrian grabbed his cane and stood up. "I'll call Lily and tell her what's happening.""And Marcus needs to know we're leaving." I started pulling baby clothes out of drawers. "We need everyone we trust to know where we're going.""Where are we going?" Adrian asked."I don't know yet but we'll figure it out once we're on the road." I grabbed the diaper bag and started filling it. "Just help me pac

Elena POV Chen sent the photos through an encrypted link and Marcus opened them on his laptop while Adrian and I stood behind him watching, and when the first image appeared on screen I felt my chest tighten. Lab equipment. Metal tables and machines and monitors filling a sterile white room that looked like something from a science fiction movie, and everything was labeled with numbers and codes. "What is all this?" I asked. "Research lab," Marcus said. "Medical equipment, high-end stuff." He scrolled to the next photo and I saw shelves lined with vials and test tubes, each one labeled with dates and specimen numbers. "Genetic samples," Adrian said. The photos kept coming showing more equipment and more samples, and then Marcus stopped on one that made my blood run cold. Photos pinned to a wall. Dozens of them arranged in rows. And I recognized every single face. "That's Grace," I said and my voice shook. "Sophia's next to her." Adrian's hand gripped my shoulder. I look

Elena POV Someone had put a camera in the nursery and that meant someone we trusted had been in our home with access to the twins, and I felt like I couldn't breathe properly while Adrian stood there holding the camera in his hand. "Who did this?" I asked and my voice came out shaky. "Who would put a camera in our babies' room?" "Someone who's been watching them," Adrian said. "Someone who had access to this nursery." I looked around the room trying to remember everyone who'd been in here over the past few months, and my mind was racing trying to make a list of anyone who could have planted that camera. "The cleaning staff," I said. "They come twice a week." "What are their names?" Adrian asked. "I don't know, the service sends different people each time." I pressed my hands to my face. "Oh God, it could be any of them." "Who else?" Adrian was still staring at the camera. "Who else has been in this room?" "Maintenance people when they fixed the heating last month," I said. "

Elena POV We sat in the SUV looking at the massive facility through binoculars and I felt my heart pounding because we were actually here, actually about to confront Vanessa after everything she'd done. "We need a way inside," Adrian said. "I have a plan," Marcus said from the front seat. "I'll go in first." "What?" I looked at him. "How are you going to get inside?" "I'll pretend to be a potential investor interested in genetic research." Marcus pulled out a fake business card. "I've done my research on what Vanessa's facility is supposedly doing publicly, I can sell myself as someone interested in funding her work." "And they'll just let you tour the facility?" Adrian asked. "Most research facilities are desperate for funding, if I present myself as someone with money to invest they'll be happy to show me around." Marcus looked confident. "While I'm getting the tour you two can sneak in behind me." "Sneak in how?" I asked. "There's a delivery entrance on the east side that
