The back door closed behind Clara with a muted mechanical thud, sealing her inside the Eclipse Breed Organization’s private vehicle. After long driving and the vehicle finally stopped, she stepped out without hesitation and walked straight into the facility. The moment the gates began to part automatically, the illusion of abandonment dissolved completely.Armed guards stood in position at both sides of the entrance. She walked in deeper into the compound until she stopped in front of a building made of dark glass and reinforced steel. Clara adjusted her coat. The air felt different. Not just colder, but controlled.One of the instructor lowered his head slightly the moment she passed, while another stepped aside without being ordered. No one questioned her arrival. She was already expected.Clara walked forward steadily, her heels echoing faintly across the metallic floor of the inner corridor. People inside the facility paused briefly as she passed, not enough to stare openly, but

“There she is,” Mei announced proudly. “Mrs Rothwell herself standing outside like a normal citizen.”Clara entered the car with a quiet laugh. “Good evening.”Mei shut the door after her before entering the driver’s side again. “No seriously,” she said while starting the engine. “Why were you outside alone?” Her eyes narrowed slightly. “And where’s your driver?”Clara adjusted the seatbelt calmly. “I told him not to follow me.”Mei turned toward her immediately. “You told a Rothwell driver not to follow you?” she repeated slowly. “Wow. Marriage is really a good thing.”Clara rolled her eyes slightly. “It’s not that serious.”“Oh, it’s serious,” Mei replied dramatically while pulling the car back onto the road. “Look at you now. Secret shopping trips. Private outings. Next thing you’ll tell me is that you enjoy stress.”“One day, I’ll finally escape all this flattering.” Clara said while shaking her head softly.Mei gasped loudly. “Flattering?” She pointed at Clara briefly before ret

Clara looked at him through wet lashes while trembling slightly. “I couldn’t even look at myself,” she whispered.Jeffery’s chest hurt listening to her. He wiped her tears carefully with both thumbs before shaking his head slowly. “Nothing about this is your fault.”Clara bit her already injured lip while more tears rolled down her cheeks.He leaned forward and kissed her forehead. “You hear me?” he whispered against her skin. “Nothing.”Clara cried quietly against him again while Jeffery held her tighter.After a moment, he suddenly carried her into his arms. Clara gasped softly from the movement.Jeffery placed her carefully on the bed like she was something fragile. He immediately went toward the cabinet and returned with ointment and treatment supplies before sitting beside her again.“You don’t need to do this,” Clara whispered weakly.“I do.” His answer came instantly. Jeffery carefully adjusted the opened side of her nightdress slightly to expose the bruised area better. His ja

Chloe’s car had arrived directly behind theirs, but nobody cared anymore at all. The cameras refused to shift properly toward her because Clara and Jeffery had already swallowed the entire atmosphere completely. Even her arrival felt like it existed in the background of someone else’s moment.Chloe removed her sunglasses slowly after stepping out of the vehicle while watching reporters ignore them almost completely. Her lips tightened instantly as she realized no amount of presence was enough to compete with what was happening in front of her. The attention imbalance was too obvious to pretend otherwise. “That’s annoying,” she muttered quietly.Another celebrity also stepped out from her car. Her eyes were already locked forward, but her attention wasn’t on the noise or cameras anymore. It was fixed directly on Clara, who was already becoming the center of something she did not even try to control.Annoying wasn’t the right word anymore at all. Dangerous felt closer, because Clara di

The warning systems started beeping before anyone properly understood what was happening. Red emergency lights flashed repeatedly across multiple floors inside Rothwell laboratory while system alerts exploded aggressively on every monitor connected to the central network. Engineers immediately rushed across different departments trying to stabilize the situation, their voices overlapping with confusion as error messages multiplied faster than they could respond to them.One of the engineers quickly leaned toward the main control system, his fingers moving rapidly across the keyboard while sweat gathered visibly around his forehead. “The temperature is rising too fast,” he said urgently. “The cooling system is not responding anymore.”Another engineer turned sharply toward him after noticing smoke slowly escaping from one of the connected units near the core section. The smell of something burning started spreading through the room almost immediately.“Shut everything down now!” som
