THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTAuthor: Esty’sChapter 35 — The Guardian’s SecretPart 1The black star stopped above the mansion.For several seconds, nobody moved.Nobody breathed.It hung in the sky like a wound in reality, enormous and perfectly still.Then the voice came again.“Guardian.”Adrian froze.Hope felt his hand become cold inside hers.She looked at him.“Adrian?”He didn’t answer.His eyes remained fixed on the black star.The silver ring around his pupils had returned.Hope squeezed his hand.“Look at me.”Slowly, Adrian turned.His eyes met hers.For a moment, he looked confused.Then afraid.“Hope…”“I’m here.”His breathing became heavier.“I remember.”Hope’s heart tightened.“What do you remember?”Adrian looked toward the others.Lucian.Serena.Luna.Lyra.Noah.Kael.Then back at Hope.“I remember the Gate.”Hope swallowed.“The Ninth Gate?”Adrian shook his head.“Before it.”A cold silence filled the room.Noah stepped closer.“What did you see?”Adrian clos

THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTAuthor: Esty’sChapter 35 — The Guardian’s ChoicePart 3“I remember.”Hope couldn’t breathe.Those two words seemed to silence the entire world.Adrian stared at her.His expression was different.Not because he was no longer himself.Because something ancient had awakened behind his eyes.Hope slowly reached for his hand.“Remember what?”Adrian didn’t answer immediately.He looked around the mansion.At Luna.At Serena.At Lucian.At Lyra.At Noah.Then back at Hope.“I remember the first time I saw you.”Hope’s heart raced.“Where?”“Beyond the Ninth Gate.”He closed his eyes.The memory came rushing back.A silver field.A little girl standing beneath a sky filled with unfamiliar stars.She was crying.He had approached her carefully.“Why are you crying?”The little girl looked up.“Because everyone keeps telling me what I have to become.”Young Adrian had knelt beside her.“What do you want to become?”She had wiped her tears.“I don’t know.”He s

THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTAuthor: Esty’sChapter 35 — The Guardian’s ChoicePart 5Hope fell.There was no ground beneath her.No sky above.No sound except the rushing darkness surrounding her.“Adrian!”Her voice disappeared into the void.“Lyra!”Nothing.She reached for her powers.Golden light appeared around her hand.Then vanished.Hope frowned.“My power…”A voice whispered from the darkness.“Not here.”Hope turned.“Who said that?”No answer.She tried again.“Adrian!”This time, she heard something.“Hope!”Her heart jumped.“Adrian!”His voice came from somewhere below.“I’m here!”Hope reached toward the sound.“I can’t see you!”“Neither can I!”Then another voice echoed through the darkness.“Hope!”Lyra.Hope smiled despite her fear.“Lyra!”“I’m here!”“Are you hurt?”“No!”Adrian shouted,“Can you both move?”Hope tried.Her body wouldn’t respond.“No!”“I can’t either,” Adrian answered.Lyra’s voice became nervous.“Something is holding us.”Hope looked around.

THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTAuthor: Esty’sChapter 35 — The Guardian’s ChoicePart 7“I do.”The voice came from behind the wall.Everyone froze.Hope stared at the place where the nursery had disappeared.“Who are you?”No answer.Then—Knock.The wall shook.Knock.A thin crack appeared.Adrian stepped in front of Hope.“Stay behind me.”Hope shook her head.“No.”He looked at her.“Hope.”“We face it together.”Lyra moved beside them.“She’s right.”Kael raised his weapon.“Whatever is behind that wall, it isn’t getting near my family.”Noah’s eyes remained fixed on the crack.“Don’t attack it.”Kael frowned.“Why?”“Because the wall isn’t holding it in.”Noah’s voice became quiet.“It’s holding us out.”The crack suddenly widened.Black mist poured through.Hope raised her hand.Golden light surrounded them.But the mist stopped before touching the light.Adrian stared.“Why isn’t it attacking?”Noah shook his head.“Because it’s waiting.”“For what?”Noah looked at Hope.“For

THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTAuthor: Esty’sChapter 35 — The Guardian’s ChoicePart 9Hundreds of faces stared through the broken doors.Every one of them was Hope.Different ages.Different clothes.Different expressions.But the same eyes.The same face.The same impossible resemblance.Hope stood frozen.Lyra whispered,“What are they?”Noah answered,“Possibilities.”Hope shook her head.“No.”She looked closer.“These aren’t possibilities.”Adrian glanced at her.“How do you know?”“Because they’re all looking at Elias.”The hundreds of figures slowly turned their heads toward the child.Elias stepped backward.“No…”One of the figures walked forward.She looked exactly like Hope.But her eyes were completely white.“Give him to us.”Hope stepped in front of Elias.“No.”The figure smiled.“You don’t understand what he is.”“I understand enough.”“He doesn’t belong to you.”Hope’s voice hardened.“He belongs to himself.”The figure’s smile disappeared.“You made that mistake be
