THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTCHAPTER 17 – THE FOURTH HEIRPart 3 – The Heir Who Must DieThe words echoed through Emily’s mind.Which heir lives… and which heir dies.She stared at Ethan.“Explain.”Ethan’s face remained serious.“Orion wasn’t designed simply to be controlled.”Alexander stepped forward.“Then what was it designed for?”“Selection.”“Selection of what?”“The strongest heir.”Emily frowned.“And the others?”Ethan looked at the four of them.“They were never supposed to survive.”Silence.Adrian shook his head.“That’s insane.”“It’s the truth.”Daniel looked at Ethan.“How do you know?”“Because I was created to execute the protocol.”Emily’s eyes widened.“You were created to kill us?”Ethan looked away.“Originally.”Alexander immediately stepped between Ethan and Emily.“And now?”Ethan looked directly at him.“Now I want to destroy the system that made me.”⸻THE ORIGINAL PROTOCOLThey returned to the abandoned factory.The building was damaged, but the undergro

THE BILLIONAIRE’S HIDDEN HEARTCHAPTER 17 – THE FOURTH HEIRPart 7 – The Two GrandmothersEmily stood frozen.Two women.Two identical faces.Two identical voices.One stood beside Jonathan.The other stood inside the hidden doorway.For several seconds, nobody moved.Then the woman in the doorway smiled.“Emily.”The Margaret standing beside Jonathan immediately shouted:“Don’t listen to her!”Emily’s heart pounded.“Which one of you is my grandmother?”Both women answered at the same time.“I am.”Alexander stepped in front of Emily.“This is getting ridiculous.”Ethan stared at the two women.“Not ridiculous.”He looked at the woman in the doorway.“Terrifying.”Adrian frowned.“Why?”Ethan pointed toward her.“Because she’s not a copy.”The woman smiled.“I’m not.”She slowly removed her gloves.“I am Margaret Kingston.”The other woman shook her head.“No. You are Miriam.”Emily’s eyes widened.“Miriam?”The woman in the doorway smiled.“My real name.”⸻THE TWIN SISTERSMiriam s
