"Dani!" Julian caught her before she collapsed onto the stone floor. Her body folded against him, both hands instinctively cradling her abdomen. A sharp cry escaped her lips. Not from fear. From pain. Every person in the chamber froze. Victor remained perfectly still. The small silver remote rested loosely in his hand. "I told you," he said quietly. "The Legacy Project was never about buildings." "It was about inheritance." Julian looked up, his eyes burning with fury. "What did you do to her?" Victor's expression remained unreadable. "I did nothing." He held up the remote. "Not today." --- Ethan was already kneeling beside Dani. He checked her pulse. Rapid. Her breathing had become shallow. "What is it?" Julian demanded. "I don't know." Ethan carefully examined her without moving her too much. "There isn't any visible bleeding." Dani squeezed Julian's sleeve. "It hurts..." Her voice trembled. "...it feels like..." She coul

The music box stopped. Silence settled over the tunnel. Julian stared at the towering oak doors before them. Carved into the center were the words that refused to leave his mind. WHERE GRACE WAS NEVER MEANT TO LEAVE. Dani felt her stomach tighten. Not from the device implanted inside her. From dread. "What does that mean?" No one answered. Even Victor had become unusually quiet. Julian noticed. It was the first time since entering the tunnels that Victor wasn't smiling. That alone made Julian certain they had chosen the right path. --- Ethan stepped toward the doors. "They're old." He brushed his flashlight acr

The mechanical voice faded into silence.WELCOME HOME... SUBJECT GRACE.GESTATIONAL SUCCESSOR DETECTED.No one moved.The bright emergency lights bathed Foundation House in an unnatural white glow.Somewhere beneath them, heavy machinery groaned to life after decades of silence.Dani instinctively stepped closer to Julian.His arm immediately wrapped around her shoulders.His hand rested protectively over hers on her stomach.No matter what Genesis was...It wasn't getting anywhere near their child.---Ethan looked down at the scanner.The tiny metallic signal inside Dani continued to pulse."It's transmitting every three seconds."Julian's expression darkened."Can you stop it?"Ethan shook his head."If I try to jam it without knowing what it does..."He looked at Dani apologetically."...I co

The chamber fell silent.Six strangers stood beneath the vaulted ceiling of Genesis.None of them carried visible weapons.None of them appeared threatened.Yet the confidence with which they entered made Julian's instincts scream louder than any gun ever had.The silver-haired woman smiled politely."My name is Evelyn Rowe."Her gaze never left Dani."Welcome home, Grace."Julian stepped forward, placing himself squarely between them."She doesn't have another home."Evelyn's smile didn't falter."No."She said gently."She built one."Her eyes flickered briefly to Dani's stomach."And now she's building another."Julian immediately noticed the subtle emphasis.She wasn't interested in Dani alone.She was interested in the baby.---Dani instinctively rested a protective hand over her abdomen.Julian mirrored the movement, his hand covering hers.The gesture wasn't lost on Evelyn."Mr. Vance."She inclined her head."I've heard a great deal about you."Julian's expression remained un

Hope.It was more dangerous than fear.Julian had learned that years ago.Fear made people cautious.Hope made them reckless.As Sarah's final words faded from the recorder, he looked at Dani.Her eyes shone with something he hadn't seen since the investigation began.Belief."If he's alive..."she whispered.Julian took both her hands."We'll find him."There was no hesitation.No qualification.Only a promise.---Victor watched the exchange in silence.Finally, he spoke."You should temper your expectations."Dani turned toward him."My mother believed he survived."Victor nodded."She believed many things.""Did she believe the wrong thing?"Victor didn't answer immediately."I never saw Michael Cross die."The room became perfectly still.
