Silence filled the room. My jaw tightened. Sector Nine. Even I knew about that place. An underground holding facility used for high-risk detainees. People sent there usually disappeared. “Who ordered her transfer?” The director hesitated. Jasper pushed the gun harder against his head. “Talk.”

“Run Or become the weapon.” Aurora grabbed Lila. “We’re not running.” She turned to the pods there were lots of them, each of them labeled with a date and a name in her mother’s handwriting, spidery and precise. Subject 001: Failure – 1998 Subject 002: Unstable – 2001 Subject 003: Aurora – 2003

She pressed a sequence into her console. The wall behind her split open with a hydraulic hiss, revealing a cylindrical containment chamber. Suspended in amber fluid, a girl floated in fetal position—her dark curls swaying in the current. Not a girl. A weapon. Luna's face. Anna's eyes. Rachel's smile. "Generation Nine," his mother breathed. The black veins pulsed as she approached the tank. "The first perfect hybrid."

"Favorability rating of capture target Quinn Langley: 100/100" "Status of capture target: Terminally ill." "Achievement time: Three days after the death of host Ariel Somer." I gazed at the prompt for a long time. The system asked cautiously, "Would you like to continue watching, Ariel? You haven't yet reached his ending scene." I smiled and turned off the monitor.

My husband thought I would never leave him. He was wrong. Ethan Cole proposed to me ninety-nine times before I finally said yes on his hundredth try. So on our wedding night, I gave him ninety-nine make-up cards. Every time he broke a promise, chose someone else over me, or hurt me badly enough to need forgiveness, he could use one. As long as there was still a card left, I promised myself I would give our marriage one more chance. For three years, Ethan never needed them. Then Madeline Avery came back. His childhood best friend. The woman who always needed help. The woman who always needed protecting. And somehow, every time she needed something, I was the one expected to lose it

Agnes whispered under her breath, her heart hammering in her chest. A sudden, blood-red file unlocked at the top of the queue: > **CLASSIFIED RECORD: OPERATION NIGHTFALL** > AUTHORIZATION: ARCHON MALAKOR / GRAND WOLF ASSEMBLY > EXECUTOR: MORRIGAN VANCE (STEP-MOTHER) > ORDER DETAILS: TOTAL INCINERATION / ASSET SEIZURE > Agnes’s breath hitched in her throat. Her eyes scanned the decrypted blueprint attached to the file—a highly complex, ancient Relic schematic stamped with her late mother’s personal crest: **The Apex Relic.**

Maybe I'd never listened close enough. Voicet pattern confirmed. Biometrictst pending. Enter code. Dominic typed. Six digits. A beep. Welcome, Mr. Blackwood. Sstandtanding orders purged. What are your instructions? "Lock this floor," Dominic said. "No one in or out without my voice. Cut external comms except this line. Bring med team to 901. Now. And send me the access logs for Directive 9.2. All of them. Since 1998."

For some reason, that gaze felt eerily familiar. I didn't think too much of it and went upstairs to pack a few important things. Tomorrow, not only would the baby be gone, but so would I and every trace of my existence. But as I was packing, I realized that the sapphire necklace I had recently bought was missing. I rummaged through my vanity and drawers, but I couldn't find it. Finally, my eyes landed on a gift box on Rylen's desk. It was exquisitely wrapped, clearly meant for someone else.

I hadn't accepted my fate; I was waiting. Waiting for him to hand me the knife for the 99th time, waiting for him to complete those 99 slow cuts. Then I would take the blade he gave me and end everything between us myself. Gary's vision suddenly darkened. He staggered backward, grabbing the edge of the bed to keep from collapsing. He had been wrong. Completely wrong. Right then, his phone buzzed. A news notification popped up on the screen. The headline was sharp and vicious.

That emotional glitch—that hiccup in loyalty—was the crack I needed. Sia appeared at her desk, punctual as ever. “You’re needed upstairs.” “Which floor?” Floris asked. “Nine.” Of course, floor Nine didn’t exist on the official blueprint. That was the point. When the elevator took her beyond what she thought was the top, her heart rate surged—109, then 123 bpm when the doors opened and my guards stepped forward. She didn’t scream or run.
