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

“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

“You could have everything, Louis. You could have the power, the Heart. Everything your family has ever wanted. All you have to do is let go of your morals, your petty notions of revenge. Embrace your destiny.”Louis’s breath came in shallow gasps as he struggled to contain the torrent of emotions swirling inside him.Embrace my destiny...He shook his head, the weight of his anger threatening to crush him.“Your destiny,” The Seer continued, stepping closer.“Is to rule, to bring the Eternals back to their rightful place. Your mother was weak. You, Louis, have the strength to finish what she started. You can be the one to lead them.”Louis’s vision blurred with fury, his muscles coiling as he prepared to unleash his powers.They killed her. They destroyed everything. I will destroy them all.“NO!” Juliet’s voice cut through the tension.She stepped in front of Louis, her expression fierce.“You’re not like them, Louis. You don’t have to give in.”But the anger inside him was suffocat

Louis stood at the center of the Citadel, his hands trembling as they hovered over the Heart, its pulse growing louder in his mind.The energy swirled, dark and bright, a contradiction of pure power.He felt it, all of it, coursing through him like wildfire."Louis," Juliet’s voice broke through his focus, sharp and desperate."You have to stop! This will destroy you."He turned to her, his face pale, eyes wide with the fevered intensity of the Heart’s influence."I have to finish it," he whispered, his breath shallow."The Eternals... they’ll keep coming. We can’t stop them unless I do this."Juliet stepped closer, her voice trembling."You’ll die if you do this. Please, Louis!"He didn't answer.The Heart pulsed once more, and the energy exploded outward in a surge of power."NO!" The Seer’s voice rang out, cracking like glass, filled with fury and disbelief."You think you can control it?!"The blinding light that followed drowned everything in its brilliance.Louis barely register

The journey back to Apple City was silent.Terminator X led the way, ever vigilant, while Juliet stayed close to Louis, her gaze never leaving his broken form.They had defeated the Eternals, but at what cost?Louis’s body, still scarred from the Heart's energy, was a reminder of the toll it had taken on him.But he was alive.And that, in itself, was something.As they entered Apple City, the streets felt quieter than ever.The Eternals had been dealt a massive blow, but they both knew, deep down, that their victory was far from final.The organization still lurked in the shadows, its leaders scattered but not defeated.Inside a dark, abandoned room far from the city’s reach, an Eternal leader stood, watching the reports unfold on the screen.His face was a mask of cold fury, his fingers curling into fists as he stared at the image of Louis’s collapse."Louis... you think you've won?" The leader’s voice was low, filled with venom."This is just the beginning. You will pay for what yo

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

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
CHAPTER 179
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

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
