Pregnant With The Ex-Husband's Twins의 모든 챕터: 챕터 141 - 챕터 150

They slipped out through the French doors onto the Grand Terrace.The cool night air hit Aurora’s flushed skin. Behind them, the music and chatter of the ballroom faded into a dull roar. Here, under the full moon, it was silent.Aurora kicked off her high heels (Alex’s reinforced titanium ones) and leaned against the stone railing. She took a deep breath, her hands still shaking slightly from the adrenaline."You move well," Kael stood beside her, leaning his back against the balustrade. He wasn't looking at the view; he was watching her."For a princess in a corset?" Aurora raised an eyebrow. "I had good teachers.""Liam taught you well," Kael nodded. He reached into his tuxedo jacket and pulled out a silver flask. He offered it to her. "Water. Don't worry, no vodka."Aurora took a sip. She looked at Kael—really looked at him. The scar above his eyebrow, the calluses on his hands, the way he stood, always ready to strike."Who are you, Kael?" she asked quietly. "Grandpa Liam... he di

Neo-Seoul. 11:00 PM.Rain mixed with neon light washed over the crowded streets. Holographic dragons and advertisements for cybernetic implants floated in the air. It was a city that never slept.The Sterling family stood in a narrow alleyway, sheltering from the rain. They had ditched their royal clothes. Now, they wore tactical urban streetwear—hoodies, leather jackets, and techwear."This place is loud," Aurora covered her ears. The psychic noise of millions of people was giving her a headache."Focus, Aurora," Jackson handed her a pair of noise-canceling headphones. "Block it out."Jackson looked at the map Alex projected from his watch."Okay, we split up," Jackson ordered. "Cassandra left breadcrumbs in two worlds.""Serenity and I will hit the Golden Dragon Casino," Jackson adjusted his collar. "The money trail suggests Genesis Corp is laundering funds through the VIP tables there.""And us?" Mia cracked her knuckles."You four take the Lower Sector," Jackson pointed to the dar

11:40 PM. The Base of Neo-Seoul Tower.Jackson and Serenity skidded their car into the service alleyway. Seconds later, a heavy armored van drifted around the corner.The back doors opened. Alex, Mia, Aurora, and Kael jumped out."Mom! Dad!" Aurora ran to them."You're okay," Serenity hugged them quickly. "We have twenty minutes before the Neural Link goes live.""The lobby is a kill zone," Alex pointed at the holographic schematics projected from his watch. "Thermal scans show fifty heat signatures in the lobby. Heavy machine guns. We can't go in through the front.""Then we go up the side," Jackson looked up. The tower disappeared into the rain and clouds above. "The external window-washing rig.""It's a suicide mission," Kael whistled, looking at the sheer glass cliff. "I like it."They broke the lock on the service gate and piled onto the wide industrial platform. It was basically a metal cage suspended by steel cables."Hacking the motor control..." Alex typed furiously. "Bypassi

"The supports are snapping!" Kael yelled, grabbing Aurora’s hand. "This whole building is going down!"The penthouse groaned like a dying beast. Cracks raced across the ceiling."Parachutes!" Jackson sprinted to a hidden panel in the wall—a panic room Chen had built but didn't have time to use. Inside were emergency base-jumping chutes."Grab a pack! Put it on! Now!" Jackson tossed them to his family."I’ve never jumped!" Mia fumbled with the straps."Pull the cord when you clear the building!" Jackson didn't have time for a lesson. "Three... Two... One... JUMP!"They leaped out of the shattered window, diving into the rainy, neon-lit sky of Neo-Seoul.The wind roared in their ears.SNAP. WHOOSH.One by one, six parachutes opened, blossoming like black flowers against the city lights. They drifted down, landing safely on the roof of a nearby parking garage.Moments later, the top ten floors of the Neo-Seoul Tower collapsed inward, crumbling into a cloud of dust and steel."We barely m

They descended into the fissure using repelling gear.The walls were not made of rock or ice. They were lined with millions of jagged violet crystals that pulsed in the dark like dying stars."Geiger counters are clicking," Alex noted, checking his wrist. "Radiation levels are high. If we weren't wearing these suits, we’d be dead in minutes.""It's beautiful," Aurora reached out to touch a crystal."Don't!" Kael grabbed her hand. "Beautiful things kill you the fastest. Rule number one."They reached the bottom. A twisting labyrinth of glowing tunnels stretched out before them."Which way?" Serenity asked."My scanners are scrambling," Alex tapped his screen. "The magnetic field is changing every second. We have to guess.""No guessing," Jackson stepped forward. "We stick together. Rope line."He tied a carabiner to his belt and passed the rope to Serenity, who passed it to the kids. They formed a chain.As they walked deeper, the air grew thick and heavy. The silence began to whisper.
