FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 126
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

Louis’s eyes never left The Seer as she stepped forward, her expression inscrutable.The air around him crackled with tension, and the Heart pulsed within his chest, the force throbbing like a living thing.He had unleashed a display of power mere moments ago, and now, as he stood trembling, the weight of the moment pressed down on him.Juliet’s voice was urgent, her hands gripping his arm tightly.“Louis, don’t listen to her,” she pleaded.“This is just another trick.”Louis’s eyes flicked toward her, the red glow in his irises dimming slightly.His chest rose and fell sharply as he locked eyes with The Seer again.The Seer’s lips curled into a smirk, her tone dripping with confidence.“You don’t believe me?” she said, taking a step closer. “Then let me show you.”She raised her hand, and a small, velvet-lined box appeared in her palm.With a flick of her wrist, she opened it, revealing an object that made Louis’s chest tighten.Inside lay a locket, tarnished with age but undeniably

Louis stood motionless, his gaze fixed on the locket still clutched in his hand.The weight of the truth was pressing down on him, each word The Seer spoke sinking into his chest like a stone."The Heart chooses its own."His mother's handwriting.The betrayal. The life he had built—shattered in an instant."Louis," Juliet said softly, her voice filled with both worry and determination.She stepped closer to him, her hand resting lightly on his arm. "You can’t trust her. She’s manipulating you. We’ll find another way—"Louis shook his head, cutting her off.His eyes were steely, the desperation for answers still burning deep within him.“I don’t know what to believe anymore, Juliet. But I have to know the truth.”The Seer observed them both with a calm, unblinking gaze, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips.“Wise decision,” she said, her tone smooth like honey.“The truth is exactly what I’m offering you, Louis. But you must first understand the scope of what’s at stake.”
FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 129
Louis’s heart pounded in his chest as the weight of her words sank in.His mother... the woman who had always been his guiding light, the one person he trusted unconditionally... was dead.Because of his own family.“You’re lying,” Louis growled, his voice strained as he stepped forward, glaring at The Seer.“My father—my family—they couldn’t have...”The Seer smirked, taking a step closer.“You think your father was a noble man? You think your family cared for anything but their own gain?They saw your mother as a threat, Louis.She was the one thing that stood between them and total control over the Eternals.They couldn’t allow her to remain alive.”Louis’s hands clenched into fists, his mind reeling.He remembered the last time he’d spoken to his father—how the man had claimed everything was for the family’s good.That his mother had chosen to leave them behind, to make sacrifices for their future.It was all a lie.A carefully crafted lie to hide their treachery.His own blood, h

Juliet’s voice, distant but clear, cut through the storm of his thoughts."Louis, please. Don’t let her control you. This is what she wants."But Louis couldn’t hear her.All he could hear was the voice of the Heart, the whisper of revenge.End them, Louis. End your family.He took a step forward, his mind clouded by the overwhelming desire for vengeance.His teeth gritted together as the markings on his skin blazed with a bright, dangerous light.The Seer stepped back, watching with an eerie calmness as Louis’s power grew.“This is what you want, isn’t it?” she whispered, her words seductive, coaxing him closer.“Revenge. The Heart will give you everything you need. Power, control... your family’s destruction.”Louis’s eyes flickered with a dark, violent determination.They deserve this, he thought. They deserve to burn.Juliet, still chained and watching from the corner of the room, screamed, her voice filled with desperation.“Louis, please, don’t do this. Don’t become like them. Y

Louis opened his eyes, and said," I won't do anything mom." He shook his head, and exhaled a deep breath."I won't let you go inside me, Seer." Louis snapped at her.Suddenly, he saw these visions provide critical clues about the true location of the Eternals’ central command—a hidden fortress known as the Shadow Citadel. The Heart of the Eternals pulsed faintly beneath his shirt, each throb sending waves of doubt through his already fragile mind.“It’s the Shadow Citadel,” Louis muttered, lifting his gaze. His voice was hoarse, his eyes distant.“The visions keep showing me... it’s there. Everything leads back to that fortress.”Juliet stood by the window, arms crossed, her jaw tight.“And you trust these visions?” she snapped.“How do you know they’re not just another way for The Seer to manipulate you?”Louis’s hands clenched into fists.“I don’t. But it’s all we have.”“No,” Juliet countered, turning to face him fully.“What we have is a choice. You’re letting this Heart consume

Juliet sighed, her shoulders slumping in frustration.“You’re both missing the point. This isn’t about proving anything. It’s about survival. Louis, if you keep pushing yourself like this, there won’t be anything left of you to fight with.”Before Louis could respond, a sharp beep echoed through the room.Juliet pulled out a small device from her pocket—a communicator linked to their hidden network.“What is it?” Terminator X asked, moving toward her.Juliet frowned as she read the message.“It’s from The Seer.”Louis’s breath caught, his heart pounding as Juliet read the message aloud.“‘Come to the Shadow Citadel, Louis. Face your destiny. Or run, and let your mother’s death mean nothing.’” Juliet’s voice wavered as she finished.Silence fell over the room, the weight of the challenge pressing down on all of them.Louis closed his eyes, his jaw tightening.“It’s a trap.”“Of course, it’s a trap,” Juliet snapped.“And walking into it would be suicide.”“Maybe,” Louis said, his voice
FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 133
“Focus, Louis,” Terminator X said, snapping him out of his thoughts.“We’ve got work to do.”As they approached the entrance, a surge of energy ran through Louis’s veins.His eyes glowed briefly as he sensed something shifting within the Citadel.There was a presence here, something ancient and malevolent.The gates of the Citadel groaned open as they neared, seemingly of their own accord.The darkened hallway beyond was lined with shadows that seemed to reach for them, pulling at their minds.“This place... it feels wrong,” Juliet whispered, her voice barely audible.Louis felt it too. The air was thick, oppressive.The Citadel was designed to break them down, to exploit their fears.They had no choice but to face it.“Stay close,” Louis warned, his voice steady despite the unease settling in his chest.They walked into the heart of the Citadel, every step echoing in the silent hall.The stone walls seemed to close in on them as the passage narrowed, and a low hum began to vibrate th

CHAPTER 286
The underground arena buzzed with silence—a stark contrast to the riotous roars from earlier.Silas lay crumpled on the steel floor, his face twisted in agony, his broken arm limp at his side.Louis stood over him, his chest heaving, body screaming in pain, but his mind was sharper than ever. The poison still burned through his veins, but fury drowned out the weakness.Silas’s eyes darted around the arena, searching for an escape. For an out.There wasn’t one.Louis grabbed him by the collar, yanking him up, his voice low, lethal. “You wanted this, Vance.”Silas tried to stumble away, but Louis wasn’t done.The crowd had gone eerily silent. The once-vocal supporters of Silas watched in uneasy awe.Pearl, standing in the VIP section, grinned. “Oh, I like this side of him.”Juliet, still focused on Louis’s condition, whispered under her breath. “Finish this.”Silas threw a sloppy punch, his movements sluggish, desperate.Louis sidestepped easily, punishing him with a brutal knee to the
CHAPTER 285
The underground fight club reeked of sweat, blood, and desperation. The walls vibrated with the deafening roar of the crowd, their voices a chaotic mix of excitement and bloodlust.Louis stepped into the makeshift ring, the brutal glow of the overhead lights casting long shadows on the concrete floor. His body ached from the poison still coursing through his veins, but his mind was sharp.Silas wanted a show.Louis was going to give him one.Pearl and Juliet stood in the VIP section, forced to watch from behind a bulletproof glass enclosure.Pearl’s fingers tapped against the metal railing. “I don’t like this.”Juliet’s eyes were locked onto Louis, scanning his movements. Something was off. His stance, his reaction time—it wasn’t just the poison.She grabbed her tablet, furiously typing as she tried to access the fight’s security feeds.Seconds later, she found exactly what she feared.Her voice dropped into a deadly whisper. “Silas drugged him before the match.”Pearl’s expression we

Ghost had done more than try to kill him.He had crippled him.Pearl noticed the change first. “Louis, what the hell is wrong with you?”Louis tried to answer—but the words didn’t come.His throat locked. His pulse spiked erratically.Juliet’s eyes darted to him—widening in alarm.“Shit. He’s going into shock.”She tapped frantically on her screen, scanning his vitals.“His blood’s flooding with foreign nanites. His body’s rejecting them—like an autoimmune attack.”Pearl cursed. “Translation?”Juliet’s jaw clenched. “If we don’t get him treatment, he’ll be dead in less than an hour.”Pearl’s grip on her pistol tightened. “Then let’s get the hell out of here.”The drive through Apple City’s backstreets was a blur.Louis drifted in and out of consciousness, his body locked in a constant war with itself.The car screeched to a halt outside an abandoned auto shop—one of Pearl’s safe locations buried beneath the city’s grid.They hauled Louis inside, where a lone medic was waiting.An olde
CHAPTER 283
Ghost skidded slightly, recalibrating. His brain was fast, but his body was now ahead of it. That meant errors.Louis smirked. “How does it feel, Ghost?”Ghost’s expression flickered. “What?”Louis wiped blood from his lip. “You’re fast. Strong. But your mind is lagging.”Ghost’s eye twitched. A small movement, but Louis saw it. A crack in the perfection.Juliet and Pearl had no time to watch the fight.The hallway outside the lab exploded in gunfire, guards flooding in, desperate to contain the breach.Juliet pressed herself against the nearest wall, her pistol firing in quick, precise bursts.Pearl crouched behind a toppled workstation, reloading as fast as she could. “This is getting messy!”Juliet muttered under her breath, hacking into the nearest control panel. “Tell me something I don’t know.”The screen flickered. New warning: CONTAINMENT BREACH IMMINENT.Juliet swore. “The virus chamber is cracking.”Pearl exhaled sharply. “And that means?”Juliet didn’t look away from the sc
CHAPTER 282
Louis’s eyes flicked across the lab—then he saw it.A row of pressurized chemical tanks.“Pearl—cover Juliet.”She didn’t argue. She opened fire, forcing the drones to focus on her.Louis vaulted over a counter, grabbed a scalpel from a surgical tray, and sliced through the control lines of the nearest tank.A hissing sound filled the room.The moment he fired his next shot, the explosion ripped through the lab.Two drones down. One left.The third drone adjusted, recalibrating.Louis turned—but before he could fire, a bullet pierced through its core.Pearl blew the smoke off her barrel. “Took you long enough.”Juliet slammed her hand down on the console. “Got it! Doors opening now!”The main exit hissed open.Pearl grinned. “And that’s our cue.”Louis grabbed Juliet’s wrist, yanking her toward the door. “MOVE!”The facility was collapsing around them. Sirens wailed, emergency lights flickered, and the stench of burning metal filled the air.Guards flooded the hallways.Pearl went in
CHAPTER 281
Dr. Mark Voss convulsed in his chair, sweat dripping from his pale face, his breath ragged. His pupils were blown wide, body trembling as the virus burned through his system.But instead of fear—he laughed.A deep, ragged, hysterical laugh that echoed through the lab, bouncing off the sterile white walls.Pearl cocked her head, unimpressed. “What’s so funny, dead man?”Voss’s bloodshot eyes flicked to her, then to Louis. His lips curled into a twisted grin, his voice a mix of pain and amusement.“I’d rather watch the world burn… than give you control.”Louis’s stomach clenched. No.Voss’s trembling fingers slammed down on the keyboard.Red warning lights bathed the room in an eerie glow.The computer’s synthetic voice echoed through the facility:“Security lockdown initiated. All exits sealed. Containment breach detected. Automated purge in progress.”Juliet’s eyes widened. “Shit.”Pearl snarled. “What the hell did he just do?”Voss’s laughter turned into a ragged cough, but the amuse
CHAPTER 280
The sterile hum of machines filled the vault, a stark contrast to the chaos outside. Louis stood frozen, his name still flashing in bright red on the massive screen behind him.Final Test Subject: Louis Kindsor.Juliet and Pearl flanked him, weapons drawn, but their eyes were locked on the man sitting calmly at the desk in the center of the room.Dr. Mark Voss.He looked exactly as Louis had imagined. A man who belonged in a high-tech lab, not in the middle of a warzone. His sharp features were devoid of fear, his crisp white coat unstained by the horrors he had created. He looked more like a professor preparing for a lecture than the architect of a mass extinction event.And the way he smiled—like he had already won.Louis clenched his fists.“You’re the one behind this,” he said, his voice deathly calm.Dr. Voss leaned back in his chair, adjusting his glasses as if they weren’t discussing a biological weapon meant to wipe out an entire bloodline.“Ah, Mr. Kindsor. I was wondering wh
CHAPTER 279
Inside, the stench of decay and antiseptic clung to the air, the eerie silence wrapping around them like a death shroud.Juliet moved quickly to a secured elevator panel, her fingers flying over the touchpad.“The main facility is buried four levels underground,” she murmured. “Security’s tight, but I can override it.”Pearl arched a brow. “You mean without setting off alarms?”Juliet hesitated.“…Mostly.”Pearl sighed. “That’s what I thought.”Louis exhaled, pressing the earpiece closer. “Do it. We’re on borrowed time.”Juliet typed in a series of commands, bypassing the biometric scans. A moment later, the elevator dinged softly, doors sliding open.They stepped inside, weapons ready.As the doors sealed them in, Pearl flexed her grip on her pistol. “How many guards are we expecting?”Juliet glanced at her tablet. “…All of them.”The doors slid open onto a hallway bathed in cold, sterile white.This wasn’t a makeshift lab like the last facility. This was something else.A temple to
CHAPTER 278
The underground lab was a maze of sterile white corridors, the air thick with the scent of disinfectant and something darker, more sinister.Juliet led the way, eyes darting between the blueprint on her tablet and the hallways stretching before them. “The main server room is ahead. If I can access the controls, I can wipe every trace of the virus.”Louis glanced at Pearl. “Stay sharp.”They moved in silence, shadows slipping through the corridors. Every step was calculated. Every turn a possible ambush.And then—They found the test chamber.A glass-walled room in the center of the facility, cold and sterile.Inside, strapped to a medical table—Elias Kindsor.Louis’s stomach clenched. His uncle looked barely alive. His skin pale, his body hooked up to machines.Pearl moved toward the glass. “What the hell did they do to him?”Juliet scanned the monitors. Her face darkened.“He’s the live test subject,” she whispered.Louis felt a slow, creeping rage coil in his chest.His uncle wasn’
