All Chapters of In His World : Chapter 71 - Chapter 79

Adrian POVVanessa's hand moved toward her desk while she was still talking and I saw her fingers reach for something underneath, and then she pressed a button.Immediately alarms started blaring so loud the sound felt like it was splitting my skull open."What did you do?" I shouted over the noise but I already knew."Called security," Vanessa said and her voice was perfectly calm like the screaming alarms weren't even happening. "Did you really think I'd let you walk in here and threaten me?"My heart was already racing but now it felt like it was trying to pound through my ribs.The door burst open and armed security guards rushed into the room and I counted at least six of them all carrying guns, and my stomach dropped because we were trapped."Take them," Vanessa ordered pointing one manicured finger at Marcus and me."Run!" Marcus shouted at me.I turned toward the door but two guards were already there and they grabbed me before I could take a step, and I tried to fight them of

Adrian POVThey'd locked me in a small room with white walls and nothing else, and I heard them dragging Marcus somewhere down the hall away from me.We were separated.That was deliberate, I knew it was deliberate because Vanessa wanted to keep us apart so we couldn't plan anything together.I started pacing back and forth across the room because I couldn't stand still, couldn't stop moving, and my legs were still shaking from being forced to my knees with a gun pressed against my head.The room was tiny, maybe ten feet across, and completely empty except for one metal chair bolted to the floor in the center.I went to the door and tested it even though I already knew what would happen.Locked tight.The handle didn't even turn when I pulled on it, and when I threw my shoulder against the metal it didn't budge at all.Solid.Professional.I slammed my fist against the door. "Let me out!"Nothing.I turned and looked at the rest of the room searching for any other way out.There was a

Adrian POVDr. Shah was pacing around the small room like he was giving a lecture and I was his only student, and he kept looking at me with those cold analytical eyes that made my skin crawl."You need to understand what you are, Mr. Blackwell," Shah said. "You're not just a person who happened to be born, you're the product of advanced genetic engineering that took years to perfect.""I don't care," I said."You should care because you have multiple enhancements that make you fundamentally superior to normal humans," Shah continued like I hadn't spoken. "Enhanced intelligence that allows you to process information faster and retain it better, enhanced strength and endurance beyond what your frame should naturally support, enhanced resilience that let you survive a coma that should have killed you or left you brain dead.""So what?" I asked."So you're not just Richard Blackwell's heir," Shah said and his voice had an edge of excitement now. "You're the future of human evolution, you

Adrian POVElena had come for me and risked everything to get here, and I couldn't believe she was actually standing in front of me alive and real and holding me like she'd never let go."The twins?" I asked because I had to know first before anything else. "Where are Rose and Violet?""Safe, they're outside with security," Elena said quickly. "But we have to go right now, Adrian, we have to get out of here.""Marcus," I said pulling back. "We need to find Marcus.""Where is he?" Elena asked."I don't know, they separated us but he has to be on this level somewhere." I went to the door and looked out into the hallway.Lily was there with the security team and when she saw me she smiled. "Good to see you alive.""Good to be alive," I said. "We need to find Marcus, which cells haven't you checked yet?""Down that way," one of the security team members said pointing further down the hall.We ran down the hallway and I started shouting. "Marcus! Marcus, where are you?""Adrian?" Marcus's
