FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 135
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

Louis looked at him, his curiosity piqued despite the overwhelming weight of the Heart's pull."What did you find?"Terminator X flipped open the journal and showed them the new discovery:a page filled with cryptic symbols and a detailed map.His finger traced the ancient text, his voice steady as he spoke."It’s a council of former Eternal leaders. They call themselves The Remnants," he said, his tone heavy with meaning."They were once part of the Eternals but broke away, exiled for opposing the corruption within their ranks. They’ve gone underground, and according to your mother’s notes, they guard something... something powerful."Louis frowned, his brow furrowing."What are they guarding?"Terminator X's finger moved to the next part of the journal, where a symbol resembling an ancient mirror was sketched."The Mirror of Truth. It’s said to reveal the true intentions of any wielder of the Heart."Louis’s pulse quickened at the mention of the Mirror. It sounded like the key to ev

The sun was low in the sky, casting golden rays through the towering trees of the Forgotten Forest.The air was thick with the scent of moss and damp earth, and an eerie silence hung over the group as they pressed deeper into the labyrinth of twisting paths and dense foliage.Louis walked with a noticeable limp, leaning heavily on Juliet's arm.His body still hadn’t recovered from the Heart’s toll, but the artifact's presence within him was stronger than ever.Each step seemed to pulse with energy, and with it came fragments of visions—memories that weren’t his."Are you sure about this?" Juliet asked, her voice barely above a whisper.She kept her eyes on the trail ahead, her other hand gripping a dagger tightly."This forest... it feels wrong.""I’m sure," Louis replied, though his voice lacked conviction.His eyes flicked to Terminator X, who was scanning their surroundings with a handheld tracker, its screen displaying the journal's decoded coordinates."We’re close. The Mirror is

Another figure spoke, their voice cold."Those who attempt to bypass the Judgment will find only death."Juliet stepped in front of Terminator X, her voice calm but firm."Let’s hear them out. If this is the only way to reach the Mirror, we’ll face it."The masked leader pointed a gnarled staff at Louis."The Heart chooses its bearer, but its power corrupts. If you are unworthy, it will consume you, as it has consumed others before you."Louis felt a surge of anger rise within him, but he forced it down."Then let me face your Judgment," he said, his voice unwavering."If the Mirror is the key to controlling the Heart, I’ll do whatever it takes."The figures exchanged glances, their masks revealing nothing of their thoughts.Finally, the leader nodded. "Very well. The Judgment begins."The air within the circle shimmered, and the ground beneath their feet seemed to tremble.Louis felt the pull of the Heart intensify, drawing him toward the center of the stones.He looked back at Julie

Juliet stood in a dimly lit room, the walls adorned with gilded mirrors that reflected her younger self.She was dressed in an elegant gown, her hair styled to perfection.In the largest mirror, her parents stood behind her, their faces solemn."This is all your fault," her father’s voice boomed, the accusation cutting through her like a blade.Juliet spun around, her chest tightening."No, I—I didn’t mean for it to happen!"The reflection twisted, her parents’ faces contorting into masks of disdain."You wanted independence," her mother hissed."You wanted to prove yourself. And look where it got us."The mirrors shattered, shards flying around her like a storm.Each piece reflected a memory of her parents’ downfall—their estate seized, their status lost, and their once-proud family left in ruins.Juliet fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face."I only wanted to help...""You destroyed us," the voices echoed.The shadows began to close in, and Juliet’s sobs grew louder.Term
FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 141
The darkness pressed in on Louis, suffocating and cold.The shadows taunted him, whispering his failures, his fears, and the inevitability of his fall.But this time, Louis didn’t flinch. The vision of destruction, the twisted reflection of himself—it was all a test."I’m not alone," he reminded himself, the memory of Juliet’s voice and Terminator X’s unyielding loyalty grounding him.With a guttural cry, Louis surged forward, the Heart pulsing brighter in his chest.The shadowy figure, his darker self, stumbled back, momentarily blinded."You think their faith will save you?" the doppelgänger sneered."It already has," Louis replied, slamming his fists into the ground.A wave of light burst from him, shattering the oppressive shadows.Juliet’s vision of her shattered family began to dissolve as she clung to the sound of Louis’s voice.She stood tall, staring into the broken shards around her."This guilt isn’t mine to carry," she declared."I did what I thought was right. I won’t let

Louis stumbled back, his breathing ragged as the Mirror’s surface returned to stillness.Juliet caught him, her arms steadying him as he fought to regain composure."What did you see?" she asked softly."Everything," Louis murmured, his voice hollow."Every choice I make... it leads to pain. But I can’t stop now."The leader of the Remnants stepped forward."The Heart’s influence grows stronger, Louis. Each choice will bring you closer to ruin or salvation. The Mirror has shown you what may come—but it is you who decides what will be."Terminator X placed a firm hand on Louis’s shoulder."Whatever happens, you’ve got us. We’ll face it together."Louis nodded, though his mind raced with the visions.The cost of wielding the Heart was clear, but so was his purpose.The fight against the Eternals wasn’t just about vengeance—it was about protecting those he cared for, no matter the price.As they left the stone circle, the leader of the Remnants called after them."Beware, Louis. The Hear

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’
