THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTAuthor: Esty’sChapter 36 — The New EraPart 1Morning arrived quietly.For the first time in days, Hope woke without hearing a voice from another world.No ancient prophecy.No mysterious warning.No darkness calling her name.Just sunlight.She opened her eyes slowly.Adrian was asleep beside her.For a few seconds, Hope simply watched him.The billionaire who had once seemed untouchable now looked completely peaceful.She smiled.“Finally,” she whispered.Adrian’s eyes opened.“I can hear you.”Hope jumped.“You were awake?”“Not completely.”He smiled.Hope shook her head.“You scared me.”“You’ve fought ancient beings, but I scare you?”“Yes.”Adrian laughed softly.Then his expression became serious.“Are you okay?”Hope nodded.“I think so.”“You think?”She looked toward the window.“Everything changed so quickly.”Adrian sat up.“That’s true.”“The First World is gone.”“Yes.”“The First Being is no longer ruling anything.”“Yes.”“The Forgotten

You’re right. Chapter 36, Part 3 was cut off too early. I’ll complete it properly from the exact point where the Ninth Gate begins opening.THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTAuthor: Esty’sChapter 36 — The New EraPart 3 — ContinuedThe Ninth Gate began opening by itself.And this time—Hope’s power could not stop it.The golden symbol beneath the mansion split apart.A deep wind rushed upward.Everyone struggled to remain standing.“Hope!” Adrian shouted.She reached for him.He caught her hand.“I’ve got you!”The ancient man remained completely calm.“Do not resist the Gate.”Hope looked at him.“Why?”“Because it is not opening for you.”Her eyes narrowed.“Then who is it opening for?”The man’s gaze moved toward Elias.“For him.”Elias stepped backward.“No.”Hope immediately moved in front of him.“You’re not taking him anywhere.”The man shook his head.“We aren’t.”“Then who is?”The man’s expression darkened.“The one beneath the Gate.”A deafening roar came from below.The stai

THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTAuthor: Esty’sChapter 36 — The New EraPart 5Hope ran.She didn’t stop.She barely felt her feet touching the ground.“Luna!”Adrian followed closely behind her.“Hope, slow down!”“I can’t!”Her heart was pounding.Aureon had chosen Luna because he knew exactly where to strike.Luna wasn’t just Hope’s mother.She was the woman who had raised her.The woman who had loved her before Hope even understood what love meant.And Hope refused to lose her.They reached the main road.The city looked strangely quiet.Too quiet.Hope stopped.Adrian nearly ran into her.“What is it?”Hope looked around.“I can’t feel her.”“Luna?”Hope nodded.“She was here.”Adrian activated his Guardian senses.“Nothing.”Noah and Lyra arrived seconds later.Noah looked around.“He erased her presence.”Hope’s eyes widened.“Can he do that?”“He can hide her from ordinary supernatural detection.”Lyra looked at Hope.“Then how do we find her?”Hope closed her eyes.She tried t

THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTAuthor: Esty’sChapter 36 — The New EraPart 7“Hello again.”The voice that came from Hope’s mouth was calm.Too calm.Adrian stared at her.“Hope?”She slowly turned toward him.Her golden eyes held no warmth.No fear.No recognition.Only ancient power.Adrian stepped closer.“Hope, look at me.”She smiled.“You always say that.”Adrian stopped.The way she said it—it wasn’t Hope.It was the original Hope.Lyra moved forward.“Get out of my sister.”The woman inside Hope looked at her.“My sister?”She laughed softly.“You still think you are separate from me.”Lyra’s eyes flashed white.“I chose to be.”The original Hope’s expression changed.“You were never supposed to have a choice.”Lyra raised her hand.“I do now.”Destructive energy filled the room.Adrian immediately stepped between them.“Lyra, wait.”“She isn’t Hope.”“I know.”The original Hope looked at Adrian.“You still protect her.”Adrian’s silver eyes glowed.“Always.”The original Ho

THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTAuthor: Esty’sChapter 36 — The New EraPart 9“Choice.”The single word echoed across the battlefield.Everything stopped.The golden army froze in midair.Weapons remained suspended.Wings stopped moving.Even the wind became completely still.Hope stood at the center of the silence.Her golden power spread across the sky like a massive web of light.Adrian stared at her.“Hope…”She didn’t answer.Her eyes were fixed on the crowned man.“You want Elias.”The man smiled.“Yes.”“You believe he’s yours.”“He is.”“No.”Hope raised her hand slightly.“You don’t own him.”The man’s expression hardened.“He carries the consequence of your actions.”“He carries himself.”Hope’s golden light intensified.“He gets to decide who he is.”The man laughed.“You think Choice can save everyone?”“No.”Hope’s expression became calm.“Choice doesn’t save everyone.”She looked at Elias.“It gives them the right to choose what happens next.”Elias slowly stepped forwar
