DIVORCED, I QUICKLY MARRIED A BILLIONAIRE의 모든 챕터: 챕터 91 - 챕터 100

Maya made her decision the next morning.She would not fight Vasquez directly.She would not try to force Leo to leave.Instead, she would go home.She would get Marcus. She would get Nan. She would gather the people who loved Leo.And then she would come back.Because Leo would not listen to just her. But he might listen to all of them.She asked for a meeting with Vasquez.The guard brought her to a communication room.Vasquez appeared on screen."I want to go home," Maya said. "I want to see my family. Then I will come back."Vasquez studied her for a long moment."You are going to try to convince Leo to leave," Vasquez said."Yes," Maya said. "But not the way you think. Not by force. By showing him what he is missing.""He is not missing anything," Vasquez said. "His cognitive abilities have increased by eighty percent. His emotional stability is optimal. His life is better.""Maybe," Maya said. "But he is still a child. And children need family. Not just enhancement."Vasquez was

Three days after the extraction.They were safe.Or they thought they were.The safe house felt different now. It felt like home. Like a real home. Not a military facility.Nan was teaching Leo to bake bread."You have to let it rise," she said. "You cannot rush time. You cannot force it. You just have to be patient and let things become what they are supposed to become."Leo watched the dough rise. His enhanced eyes tracking every minute change.But his smile was real. Human. Not optimized.Marcus was on the phone with Kowalski, discussing the government's response to the remaining Phoenix cells."We have seventeen confirmed locations," Kowalski said. "We are moving on them simultaneously. By tomorrow, we should have eliminated eighty percent of Phoenix operations.""And Vasquez?" Marcus asked."Still missing," Kowalski said. "But with the extraction of Leo complete, she has lost her primary asset. She will either disappear or make a desperate move."Marcus hung up.He felt cautious

The helicopter landed outside Vasquez's facility in Switzerland at 2 AM.But Vasquez was waiting.She was in the courtyard. Alone. Unarmed. Smiling."Welcome, Maya," she said as they descended. "I have been waiting for you.""Where are the children?" Maya demanded."Safe," Vasquez said. "And ready. Activation begins in twenty-two hours now. I accelerated it further. Just to be sure."Marcus had his weapon drawn.But Vasquez raised her hands calmly."You cannot stop this," she said. "Look."She gestured to screens around the courtyard.On them, global coordinates appeared.Two hundred locations worldwide.Children in facilities. Children in schools. Children in ordinary homes.All of them enhanced. All of them connected. All of them waiting."They are everywhere," Vasquez continued. "And they are all synchronized. In twenty-two hours, they will activate simultaneously. They will do what they have been programmed to do. And the world will transform.""What have you programmed them to do

Three hours and fifty-seven minutes into the counter-enhancement protocol.The facility was quiet.Too quiet.Maya was in the observation room, watching Emma's neural patterns on the monitors.The transformation was working.Her enhanced pathways were integrating with her human neural structures.It was beautiful and terrifying to watch.Two versions of Emma fighting for dominance inside her own mind.Marcus brought coffee.He had not slept in thirty-six hours.But he was still standing. Still present. Still fighting."She is going to wake up," he said. Not a question. A statement of faith."You do not know that," Maya said."No," Marcus agreed. "But I believe it. And right now, belief is all we have."Leo was in the communication room.Still trying to reach the other children on the network.Still trying to prepare them.Still trying to keep them from activating."Sophia?" he signed through the network. "Can you hear me?"A frightened child's thought came back."Yes, Leo. I am scared

The facility was hidden beneath a mountain in Austria.An underground complex that predated the Phoenix itself.Leo and Emma were brought inside by armed guards.But the guards did not treat them as prisoners.They treated them as honored guests.As dignitaries.As the future.Vasquez was waiting in a central chamber.It was beautiful. Not what they expected from an evil scientist.It was a garden. Underground but alive. Plants. Water. Natural light filtered through some mechanism they did not understand."Welcome," Vasquez said. "I have been waiting for you both."She did not have Cross with her."Where is Cross?" Emma demanded, her enhanced eyes scanning the space for threats."Safe," Vasquez said. "Released as promised. She is probably contacting the federal government right now, telling them where I am. Telling them to come rescue you.""Then why are we still here?" Leo asked."Because they will not arrive in time," Vasquez said. "Because the activation sequence is about to begin.
