All Chapters of I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

The first bullet shattered the glass above my head.Everyone dropped.“DOWN!”Lucien pulled me against his chest as another burst of gunfire ripped through the laboratory.The alarms were gone.The lights were gone.Only emergency lamps flickered through the smoke.But I could hear them.Boots.Hundreds of them.They were coming for me.Nadia fired toward the corridor.“They’re through the eastern entrance!”Caleb dragged my mother behind a concrete pillar.“Stay down!”Richard grabbed a rifle.“Seraphina, we need to move.”I looked at him.“Where?”“Anywhere but here.”Another explosion shook the floor.Dust fell from the ceiling.Lucien grabbed my hand.“Stay with me.”We ran.Behind us, soldiers stormed into the laboratory.But they weren’t shooting at everyone.They were shooting at me.I realized it when one of them shouted:“PRIMARY TARGET SPOTTED!”My stomach twisted.I had become the target.Not Black Veil.Not the Vale Empire.Not Lucien.Me.“Left!” Nadia shouted.We turned

The photograph slipped from my fingers.The baby in my mother’s arms wasn’t me.I stared at the image again, desperate to find another explanation.But there was none.My mother was younger.Richard stood beside her.Samuel was behind them.Evelyn stood at the edge of the photograph.And Selene was there too.But the child in my mother’s arms was not the baby I remembered being told about.It was another child.Another secret.Another lie.“Who is that baby?” I asked.Nobody answered.I looked at my mother.“Mother.”Her lips trembled.“I don’t know.”“You don’t know?”“I don’t remember.”Isabella stepped closer.“That isn’t possible.”My mother looked at her.“What do you mean?”“I’ve seen this photograph before.”Everyone turned toward Isabella.“Where?”“In the original Black Veil archives.”My heart pounded.“What did the file say?”Isabella’s face became pale.“It said the child was the final survivor.”The words echoed through my mind.The final survivor.I looked at the photogr

The screen went black.For several seconds, nobody moved.Lucien was still staring at the place where his father’s face had appeared.“My father is alive.”His voice was barely a whisper.His mother closed her eyes.“Yes.”Lucien turned toward her.“You knew.”“I knew he survived.”“And you never told me?”“I couldn’t.”“You could have.”Her eyes filled with tears.“If I had told you, they would have used you to reach him.”Lucien laughed bitterly.“They already did.”He looked at the machine.“They turned me into his lock.”I stepped beside him.“Lucien.”He looked at me.There was pain in his eyes.But beneath it was something else.Determination.“We’re going to find him.”I nodded.“We are.”Before we could move, Evelyn spoke.“You won’t find the truth by chasing the system.”Everyone looked at her.“You need to understand who created it.”I crossed my arms.“Then tell us.”Evelyn stared at the wall of photographs.“Black Veil didn’t begin with Gabriel.”My mother stiffened.Evely

The elevator stopped.Nobody moved.The silence was unbearable.I could hear my own heartbeat as I stared at the metal doors.Whatever was behind them had been awakened by Sovereign Protocol.And the system had called it its true heir.Lucien stepped in front of me.“Stay behind me.”I grabbed his arm.“No.”He looked at me.“If something comes through those doors, I need you behind me.”His eyes softened for half a second.Then the elevator doors opened.Empty.Nadia raised her weapon.“Nothing.”Lucien didn’t lower his guard.Neither did I.Then something slid across the elevator floor.A black envelope.It stopped at my feet.My name was written across it.SERAPHINA VALE.I stared at it.“That’s impossible.”Lucien bent down and picked it up.“There’s no sender.”“Open it,” I said.He tore it open.Inside was a single sheet of paper.At the top was a symbol I recognized immediately.The Virelli crest.Below it were four signatures.ALESSANDRO VIRELLI.MARCUS VIRELLI.RICHARD VALE.

Marcus Virelli stood at the end of the corridor.Alive.For ten years, I had believed the Virelli family was powerful, untouchable, and responsible for the destruction of everything around us.Now the man everyone believed was dead was standing in front of me.And he was looking at me like he had been waiting ten years to tell me the truth.Lucien stepped forward.“You’re alive.”Marcus’s eyes stayed on his son.“I never stopped being alive.”Lucien’s jaw tightened.“Then why did you let me believe you were dead?”“Because the alternative was watching you die for real.”“You could have told me.”“I tried.”Lucien laughed bitterly.“No. You disappeared.”Marcus lowered his head.“I was forced to.”I stepped between them.“You said you would tell me what my father did after he shot you.”Marcus looked at me.“He didn’t just shoot me.”He paused.“He destroyed your family.”My heart tightened.“What does that mean?”Marcus walked slowly toward us.“Your family didn’t fall because of bad
