All Chapters of Pregnant With The Ex-Husband's Twins: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Life in the palace returned to a new normal.Jackson had converted the East Wing into the "Sterling Global Headquarters." He ran his business empire from a gilded desk, occasionally pausing to change a diaper."Stocks are up, gold is down," Jackson muttered, typing on his laptop while rocking Aurora's crib with his foot."Sir," Luke walked in, looking exasperated. "Prince Frederick is at the gate. Again."Jackson groaned. "What does he want this time? I already sent him a crate of vintage wine as a thank you for the key.""He says the wine gave him a headache," Luke sighed. "He insists on seeing Her Highness. He says it’s a matter of 'National Security'."In the Royal Drawing Room.Serenity sat on the sofa, trying to look patient. Prince Frederick was pacing back and forth, waving a document."It is a simple request, Serenity!" Frederick whined. "My Principality is small. We need a trade alliance. If you lower the tariffs on my cheese exports...""Frederick," Jackson walked in, button

New York. The outskirts of Queens.The black SUV stopped in front of a rusted iron gate. Beyond the gate stood a crumbling brick building covered in dead ivy.St. Mary's Orphanage.It had been closed for five years—coincidentally, it shut down the same year Serenity married Jackson and left."I haven't been back here since I was eighteen," Serenity whispered, staring at the dark windows. The wind blew through the dead trees, making a whistling sound."Stay close," Jackson checked his flashlight and handgun. "Luke, secure the perimeter. Alex, monitor thermal readings from the car. We are going in."They pushed the rusty gate open. Screeeech.The courtyard was overgrown with weeds. Serenity walked towards the main entrance, memories flooding back. Not all of them were bad, but now, they felt tainted."What do you remember?" Jackson asked, scanning the hallway as they entered."It was... strict," Serenity touched the peeling paint on the wall. "Matron Helsing was obsessed with our health

Two days later. The Pacific Ocean. 200 miles off the coast of Guam.A massive research vessel, The Sterling Explorer, bobbed in the waves. On its deck sat a sleek, futuristic vehicle shaped like a bullet. It was made of black titanium alloy.The Triton Deep-Sea Submersible."You built a submarine?" Serenity stared at the machine."I built it for deep-sea mining exploration," Jackson adjusted the seal on his suit. "But I added torpedo tubes. Just in case.""Is it safe for kids?" Serenity asked anxiously."The hull can withstand pressure at 36,000 feet," Alex answered for him, climbing up the ladder. He had repurposed his laptop to interface with the sub's sonar. "It's safer than a tank. Come on, Mom! We are going to the bottom of the world!"Margaret stayed on the main ship to monitor the comms with Luke. "Bring us back a souvenir," she joked, though her hands were gripping the railing tight.They sealed the hatch. HISS... LOCK."Dive sequence initiated," Jackson took the pilot's seat.

"Watch out!" Jackson shoved Serenity aside just as a massive stone fist crushed the floor where she was standing.The Sentinels were relentless. They moved with a jerky, unnatural rhythm, their eyes glowing with menacing blue light. Bullets simply sparked off their obsidian armor."We can't hold them!" Luke shouted, firing his assault rifle in bursts. "There are too many!"The Elders watched from their floating platforms, emotionless. "Resistance is futile. Submit."Alex huddled behind a piece of debris, his laptop glowing. "Dad! I can't hack them! They aren't running on code. They are running on raw bio-electricity. It's like a hive mind!""Then find the brain!" Jackson roared, pulling the pin on a grenade and sliding it under a Sentinel's legs. BOOM. The machine stumbled but kept coming."The brain is the Core!" Alex pointed to the giant glowing pillar in the center of the city. "But it's shielded! We can't touch it!"Serenity touched the locket on her neck. It was burning hot again

Back on the Sterling Explorer, the medics were treating Luke and Sebastian.Serenity stood on the deck, wrapped in a blanket, watching the divers recover debris from the ocean surface.Margaret walked up to her. The older woman looked tired, her age finally catching up with her after the adrenaline faded."He's not down there," Margaret said softly, looking at the water where the city had imploded."Are you sure?" Serenity asked. "The explosion was massive.""I can feel him," Margaret touched her heart. "Liam. The bond we shared... it was broken for twenty years when I was frozen. But now? It’s humming again."She pulled a small, wet piece of paper from her pocket."One of the sailors found this on the deck an hour ago. Before you surfaced."Serenity took the paper. It was an old-fashioned naval chart. On the back, scribbled in charcoal, were coordinates.The Himalayan Mountains."He left me a map," Margaret smiled, tears glistening in her eyes. "He isn't running away because he is sc
