FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 119
The hidden safe house was quiet, a sharp contrast to the chaos and violence that had marked their journey.The dim light from a single candle flickered, casting long shadows on the walls.Juliet sat beside Louis, her hands shaking as she carefully cleaned his wounds.His breath was shallow, but his pulse was steady—barely.His body was covered in cuts and bruises, remnants of the harrowing escape from the monastery.Pearl’s absence weighed heavily on her heart. It felt wrong, like a piece of the puzzle was missing, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t fill the space Pearl had left.As Juliet gently tended to his injuries, she noticed something odd.Louis’s skin, where the Heart had touched him, was marked—glowing faintly under the dim light.It was subtle, almost imperceptible at first, but the symbols were unmistakable."Louis…" Juliet whispered, her fingers brushing over the marks.His body jerked, a groan escaping his lips.His eyes fluttered open, and he blinked, disorien

Suddenly, Juliet's phone buzzed in her pocket, a rare and unexpected break in the tense atmosphere.She pulled it out, her fingers tapping quickly as she read the message.“What is it?” Louis asked, noticing her sudden change in demeanor.Juliet’s eyes widened slightly as she looked up, her expression a mix of surprise and disbelief.“It’s from Kate,” she said, her voice thick with emotion.“Terminator X… He’s alive. He survived the explosion.”Louis’s heart skipped a beat."Terminator X? After everything… How is that even possible?"Juliet shook her head.“I don’t know. But Kate says he’s going to be here soon.”Pearl, who had been resting her eyes, sat up immediately, her face lighting up with hope.“He’s really alive?”“Yes,” Juliet confirmed.“It seems like he pulled through after all. It’s... a miracle.”A silence fell over the group as they processed the news.Terminator X had been their most unpredictable ally—his skills, knowledge, and unwavering loyalty had been crucial in th

As Louis was speaking ancient language, in frustration. He punched on the door.Boom!!!!!The door shattered into pieces.The campfire crackled softly in the still night, casting flickering shadows on the faces of those gathered around it.Louis sat a few feet away, staring at his hands, flexing his fingers as though trying to reconcile the strength that had recently revealed itself.Juliet and Terminator X exchanged wary glances from their spots near the fire.Juliet broke the silence first, her voice cautious.“Louis, do you want to talk about what happened back there?”Louis’s head snapped up, his expression a mix of confusion and frustration.“What’s there to talk about? I lost control, that’s all. I’ll figure it out.”Terminator X cleared his throat, stepping into the conversation with his usual bluntness.“Boss, it wasn’t just losing control. You shattered a steel door. That’s not normal—not even for someone like you.”Louis’s jaw tightened.“What are you saying? That I’m some

Terminator X stepped forward, his tone still respectful but firm. “Boss, you’ve got to take this seriously. Let us help you figure this out before it’s too late.”Louis let out a heavy breath, running a hand through his hair.“And how do you suggest we do that? There’s no manual for this kind of thing.”Juliet glanced at the journal in her hand.“There might be. Your mother left breadcrumbs, Louis. We just have to follow them.”Louis’s shoulders sagged slightly, the weight of their words sinking in.“You’re saying I have to trust a dead woman’s riddles to make sense of what’s happening to me?”Juliet nodded. “If it means keeping you safe, keeping all of us safe—yes.”The tension hung heavy in the air as Louis considered her words.Finally, he nodded, his voice quieter.“Fine. But if this is going to slow us down in taking out the Eternals—”“It won’t,” Terminator X interrupted. “We’ll handle it all, Boss. You’ve got a team for a reason.”Louis managed a faint smile, though it didn’t

The heavy thrum of helicopter blades echoed in the distance as Louis, Juliet, and Terminator X trekked through the dense forest surrounding the monastery.The tension was palpable; every rustle of leaves felt like a potential ambush.“Boss,” Terminator X said, his tone uneasy.“We need to find better cover. These guys aren’t amateurs—they’re tracking us.”Louis tightened his grip on the Heart of the Eternals, his jaw clenched.“We’ll keep moving until we find a defensible position. I’m not losing anyone else.”Juliet glanced at Terminator X, her concern evident.“You’re limping. Are you sure you’re good to keep up?”“I’ve had worse,” Terminator X replied, forcing a grin.“You worry about keeping the boss alive. I’ll handle the rest.”Louis’s eyes narrowed.“You’re not just ‘handling it,’ X. Stick close. We can’t afford to get separated.”They pushed forward for another hour, but the forest felt like it was closing in on them.Suddenly, Terminator X held up a hand, signaling them to st

Meanwhile, back at the ambush site, Terminator X lay gravely injured, his breaths labored.Blood soaked the ground beneath him, but his grip on his weapon remained firm.One of the operatives crouched beside him, sneering. “Where’s your precious boss now?”Terminator X spat blood, his defiance unwavering.“You’ll never get to him. Not while I’m breathing.”The operative smirked.“That can be arranged.”Before he could pull the trigger, a voice crackled through his earpiece.“Leave him. We’ve got what we need.”As the operatives retreated, Terminator X’s vision blurred. Despite the pain, a faint smile crossed his lips.“Stay strong, Boss,” he murmured.“I’ll catch up... somehow.”Darkness closed in, leaving his fate uncertain.******"You can't handle this power, you are just puppet of mine, " she smirked, snapped her fingers.And just as I heard snap of fingers.I lost my consciousness.When I opened my eyes, I saw a letter."She is gone, if you want her. Come and take her."Louis’s

Her head snapped toward him, relief flooding her face, but her expression quickly twisted in fear.“Louis, don’t—”The Seer, standing at the head of the altar, turned toward him, a knowing smile spreading across her face.Her eyes gleamed with a dark satisfaction.“You are too late, Louis,” she said, her voice smooth like velvet but laced with malice.“You’ve walked into my trap. You will submit to me, just like your mother did. Your destiny is already written.”Louis’s heart skipped a beat. His mother.The connection was clearer now, like a fog lifting from his mind.“You... you killed her,” Louis hissed, his voice thick with rage.“You killed my mother!”The Seer smiled, unfazed by his accusation.“I did what was necessary. Your mother was the key to unlocking the power of the Heart. But she was weak. She didn’t understand the true potential of the Eternals. I will show you the truth, Louis. The power of the Heart belongs to me—and you will help me wield it.”Louis’s body trembled w

Summoning the last of his strength, Louis reached out, feeling the pull of the Heart once more.The power surged through him—wild, uncontrollable, and blinding.He could feel his body breaking, but he didn’t care.He had to save her.Louis stood in the heart of the ritual chamber, his body trembling with the strain of the power coursing through him.The Heart pulsed violently within his chest, its force overwhelming.His body felt like it was on the edge of breaking, but he didn’t care.Not now.Not when Juliet was in chains before him.“Louis!” Juliet cried, her voice weak, but filled with undeniable fear.The cultists, who had been chanting around her, froze as Louis stepped forward.His eyes were wild, the red glow of the Heart reflecting off the stone walls.He had already broken through the first line of defense, sending two of the cultists sprawling across the floor, their bodies burned by the intense energy he was releasing.“Get away from her!” Louis growled, his voice low and

The room fell silent as Louis processed the revelation.His hands clenched into fists.“He’s making this personal.”Juliet leaned forward, her expression firm.“We can’t let him bait us. If we act rashly, we’re playing into his hands.”“I won’t let him use you to get to me,” Louis said, his voice low but intense.“Whatever his plan is, we’ll stop it.”Pearl entered the room, sensing the tension.“What’s going on?”Juliet handed her the document.“The Broker’s targeting me.”Pearl’s face darkened as she read the file.“If he thinks we’ll just stand by and let this happen, he’s in for a rude awakening.”The envelope arrived on Juliet’s desk early in the morning, sealed with a wax stamp featuring an intricate insignia. She unfolded the note inside, her heart sinking as she read:“Your presence is requested at an exclusive gathering of Apple City’s most influential figures. Stakes are high, secrets even higher. The Broker awaits.”She handed it to Louis, who scanned it with a grim expres
CHAPTER 185
The sound of hammering echoed through the AAA Group’s headquarters as workers repaired the damage from Vivian’s sabotage.The city, still reeling from the chaos, was beginning to rebuild. Louis stood by a large window, watching cranes move across the skyline.The city was recovering, but the scars of the battle remained.“Things are stabilizing,” Pearl said, entering the room with a tablet in hand.“Investors are returning, and the media’s finally painting you as the hero you are.”Louis sighed, his expression thoughtful.“It doesn’t feel like a victory, Pearl. Not with whispers of a new player already in motion.”Pearl raised an eyebrow.“The Broker?”He nodded.“Whoever they are, they’re making moves. Rumors of deals, alliances, threats—it’s too coordinated to ignore.”In a dimly lit café, Juliet sat across from a nervous informant, her voice low but firm.“You said The Broker has ties to The Eternals. I need names, connections—anything that gives me a lead.”The informant shifted u

The sun rose over the smoldering ruins of Vivian’s underground lab, its golden rays piercing through the lingering smoke.Louis pushed aside a broken piece of debris, his movements slow and labored.Cuts and bruises adorned his face, his suit tattered from the battle. But he was alive.“Louis!” Juliet’s voice cut through the silence, a mixture of relief and urgency.He turned to see Juliet and Pearl rushing toward him, their expressions a blend of worry and hope.“I’m okay,” Louis said, his voice hoarse but steady.“It’s over.”Pearl reached him first, helping him stand.“You look like hell,” she said, her tone light but her eyes filled with concern.“I’ve felt worse,” Louis replied with a faint smile.“Vivian?”They turned to see Terminator X dragging a dazed Vivian from the wreckage.Her once-commanding presence was gone, replaced by a hollow, defeated look.The faint glow that had once surrounded her body was extinguished, and her movements were weak.“She’s powerless now,” Termina

The force field hummed with a menacing energy as Louis and Vivian circled each other in the central chamber of the lab.The relic pulsed between them, its light flickering erratically as if sensing the tension.“You should have joined me, Louis,” Vivian said, her voice low but edged with venom.“We could have been unstoppable.”Louis shook his head, his stance steady.“Unstoppable? You’re destroying everything you touch, Vivian. That’s not strength—it’s recklessness.”Vivian’s eyes flared with energy, her body glowing brighter.“And you’re a fool for clinging to outdated ideals. Let’s see how far those ideals get you.”With a sharp motion, she unleashed a blast of energy, the force crackling through the air.Louis dove behind a piece of equipment, the heat of the attack scorching the ground where he had stood.“You can’t hide forever!” Vivian shouted, launching another wave of power that shattered a row of consoles.Louis emerged from cover, his voice calm despite the chaos.“I’m not

Louis sat in the dimly lit conference room, his arms crossed as he stared at Hector across the table.The once-confident tycoon looked haggard, his tailored suit wrinkled and his demeanor shaken.“I want immunity,” Hector said, his voice trembling slightly.“In writing. No legal consequences, no retaliation.”Louis’s eyes narrowed.“And in exchange, you’ll give me Vivian’s location?”Hector nodded, his hands clasped tightly on the table.“I know where she’s hiding. I know everything she’s planning.”Juliet, standing behind Louis, crossed her arms.“And why should we trust you? You’ve been in bed with Vivian this whole time.”Hector flinched at her words but kept his focus on Louis.“Because I want out. Vivian’s lost control. She’s not just going after you—she’s going to bring down the entire city.”Louis leaned forward, his voice low and measured.“Why now, Hector? What’s changed?”Hector hesitated before replying.“She doesn’t care who she hurts anymore. I thought I could manage her,

The first blackout hit during rush hour. Apple City’s skyline, usually shimmering with lights, went dark, plunging entire districts into chaos.Traffic snarled as signals failed, and emergency sirens wailed through the streets.In the distance, a faint, eerie glow emanated from an underground source.Louis stood in the AAA Group’s operations center, surrounded by his core team.The tension was palpable.“Report,” Louis ordered, his voice sharp.Juliet, seated at a console, scanned the live updates.“Blackouts in three sectors. Power grid’s overloaded. We’re looking at structural damage in at least two skyscrapers.”“It’s the relic,” Terminator X said grimly.“Vivian’s pushing it too hard. The energy output is destabilizing everything.”Louis clenched his fists.“She’s tearing the city apart just to get to us.”Pearl entered, her phone in hand.“I’ve got contacts in the elite circles who are willing to help, but they need proof that Vivian’s behind this. Right now, she’s spinning it as
CHAPTER 180
From a safe distance, Juliet and Pearl watched the duel unfold, their emotions a mix of awe and concern.“He’s holding his own,” Juliet said, her voice tense.“But she’s overwhelming him.”Pearl shook her head.“He’s not trying to overpower her. He’s making her expend her energy. It’s a classic tactic.”Juliet glanced at her, surprised.“You really trust him, don’t you?”“I do,” Pearl admitted.“But it’s not just trust—it’s understanding. He’s carrying more than anyone should have to.”Juliet’s expression softened.“You’re right. And maybe I’ve been too focused on my own frustrations to see that.”Pearl smiled faintly.“We both want the same thing—for him to make it through this. We just have different ways of showing it.”Vivian’s relentless attacks began to take their toll.Her movements became less precise, her energy surges less controlled. Louis noticed the change and seized the moment.“You’re slipping, Vivian,” he said, stepping out from his cover.“That power you’re so proud o

Louis turned to see her stepping out of the shadows, her figure illuminated by the faint glow of the relic’s energy coursing through her veins. Her movements were fluid, almost inhuman.“Vivian,” he said evenly.“We don’t have to do this. Whatever the relic did to you—”“It gave me clarity,” she interrupted, her voice rising.“For the first time, I see the world for what it is. Weak, chaotic, broken. And I’m going to fix it.”Louis stepped forward cautiously.“By tearing it apart?”“No,” she said, her eyes narrowing.“By rebuilding it in my image. I am the future of this city, Louis. You’re just a relic of its past.”With a flick of her wrist, Vivian sent a burst of energy hurtling toward Louis.He dove to the side, the blast narrowly missing him and leaving a scorched mark on the floor.“You see?” she said, her voice filled with dark glee.“This is what true power looks like. And you? You’re powerless against it.”Louis stood, his voice calm despite the tension.“Power doesn’t make y
CHAPTER 178
Vivian stood in the remnants of her ruined lab, her body trembling with pain and energy.Her once-perfect features were marred by faint glowing veins that pulsed with the same eerie light as the relic. Despite her injuries, she felt stronger than ever.She clenched her fists, watching as faint sparks of energy danced across her fingertips.“They think they can stop me,” she murmured, her voice low but filled with determination.“They have no idea what I’ve become.”Hector entered cautiously, his gaze darting to the relic still glowing faintly on the table.“Vivian, you need medical attention. You’re—”“Evolving,” she interrupted, turning to face him. Her eyes gleamed with an unnatural light.“The relic didn’t curse me—it awakened me. This is power, Hector. True power.”Hector’s unease deepened. “And what’s your plan? Destroy everything in your path?”“If that’s what it takes,” she said coldly.“Louis Kindsor is my first target. He’s been a thorn in my side for too long.”At the AAA Gr
