FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 155
The air in the underground chamber was stale and heavy, lit only by the faint glow of Louis’s hands as his powers reacted to the ancient artifacts around them.Juliet leaned against the cold, damp wall, wincing as she clutched her side where blood seeped through her torn shirt.Despite her injuries, her gaze was sharp, scanning the room for any signs of danger.“Louis,” she said, her voice strained but firm.“Whatever we came here to find, we need to make it quick. This place feels like it’s holding its breath.”Louis nodded, his golden eyes flickering with determination.“I know. But look at this.”He pointed to a pedestal in the center of the room.Resting atop it was a broken amulet, its fragments faintly glowing.As he approached, the light grew brighter, pulsating in rhythm with his own energy.Juliet straightened, ignoring the sharp pain that shot through her side. “What is that?”“I think it’s from the Eternals—their earliest days,” Louis murmured. His hand hovered over the ar

Juliet placed a hand on his shoulder, her grip firm despite her weakened state.“She sacrificed a lot to protect you, Louis. She didn’t want you burdened by her past.”Louis’s jaw tightened.“But now it’s my burden. And I won’t let her sacrifices be in vain.”Before Juliet could respond, a low rumble shook the chamber.Dust and debris rained down from the ceiling.“What was that?” she asked, alarmed.Louis’s eyes darted around the room.“The water reservoir above us—it must be leaking. We need to get out of here now.”Another tremor rocked the ground, and the sound of rushing water echoed through the tunnels.“Go,” Louis urged, grabbing Juliet’s arm to steady her.“I’ll hold the water back.”“Don’t be ridiculous,” she snapped, wincing as she moved.“We both get out, or neither of us does.”“Juliet, you’re injured!”“And you’re not leaving me behind,” she shot back, her tone brooking no argument. “Now move!”Together, they raced through the narrow corridors, the sound of water growing

Terminator X, their intel specialist, stood at the center of the room, his eyes glued to the holographic display.The rest of the team, including Louis and Juliet, circled around him, waiting for the latest update.“So, what’s the news?” Louis asked, his voice low but sharp.Terminator X didn’t turn away from the display but nodded slightly.“We’ve just intercepted a transmission from The Seer’s faction. They’re developing a new weapon—an energy cannon. It’s powered by the remnants of the Mirror.”Juliet’s brow furrowed.“The Mirror? But that’s—”“Yeah,” Terminator X cut her off.“It’s dangerous, and they’ve somehow managed to harness its power. The cannon is aimed straight at Apple City. If it’s what I think it is, we’re in serious trouble.”Louis crossed his arms, his jaw tightening. “How serious?”“The cannon’s power could rival the Heart itself,” Edward’s weak voice called from the corner.The group turned to see him sitting in a chair, looking far from his usual self.He was rec

The desert winds howled as the group crouched low behind a rocky outcrop, the massive domed structure of The Seer’s weapon testing facility looming ahead.The structure shimmered under the moonlight, surrounded by patrol drones and armed guards.“Everyone knows the plan?” Terminator X’s voice was firm, his sharp eyes scanning their surroundings.“Get in, find the blueprints, and disable the weapon,” Juliet said, her tone unwavering.“Simple enough.”Louis, however, looked less confident. “Except for the part where one wrong move blows us all to pieces.”Juliet placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.“Stay focused. I’ll be here if things get out of hand.”“Enough chatter,” Terminator X interrupted.“We move now. Stick to your roles.”The group slipped through the shadows, avoiding detection with Terminator X’s meticulous planning.A small opening in the facility’s vent system served as their entry point.Crawling through narrow ducts wasn’t ideal, but it was the safest route.“Julie

Louis's hands trembled as he worked feverishly at the control panel.Sparks flew, and warning lights flared, casting the room in an ominous red glow."Louis, we don’t have time!" Juliet yelled over the chaos, her voice sharp with urgency as she deflected another wave of guards with precise, calculated strikes.Terminator X stood beside her, firing shot after shot, keeping the advancing forces at bay."I know!" Louis shouted back, his voice cracking under the strain."But if I rush this, we all go up in flames!"The Seer’s forces were relentless.Drones buzzed into the room, their weapons locking onto the group.Terminator X fired at them with deadly precision, but for every one he destroyed, another seemed to take its place.“This isn’t sustainable!” Terminator X growled.“Louis, finish it!”Louis wiped the sweat from his brow, his heart pounding.The core of the cannon pulsed dangerously, and he could feel its energy vibrating through the floor."I'm almost there... just a few more—"

The cold, metallic hum of the high-security prison reverberated through its halls.Terminator X sat in a reinforced chair, his arms and legs bound with glowing restraints that pulsed faintly with energy, neutralizing his strength.Opposite him, a hologram of The Seer flickered to life.Her piercing gaze scanned him, the edges of her lips curling into a satisfied smirk.“You’ve been quite the thorn in my side,” she said, her tone dripping with mockery.“But even thorns have their uses.”“I won’t tell you anything,” Terminator X spat, his voice unwavering.The Seer chuckled softly. “I’m not asking for your permission, Terminator.Your defiance amuses me, but it won’t last.” She gestured, and the restraints tightened, eliciting a sharp grunt from him.“Now, tell me about the shard.”Terminator X met her gaze, his voice cold.“Go to hell.”The Seer’s smirk faltered.“You’re stubborn, I’ll give you that. But even the strongest will break when the stakes are high enough.”She leaned forward

The alarms blared louder as Louis worked feverishly to disable the restraints binding Terminator X.His fingers moved with desperate precision, beads of sweat dripping down his face.“Almost there,” Louis muttered under his breath.Terminator X glanced at the approaching guards.“You better hurry, kid. We’re out of time.”The door to the high-security wing burst open, and a squad of soldiers poured in, their movements unnaturally swift and coordinated.Their eyes glowed with a faint, eerie light, and a faint aura of energy surrounded them.“What the hell are those?” Louis asked, his voice tinged with fear.“Genetically enhanced soldiers,” Terminator X growled.“The Seer’s latest playthings.”Juliet’s voice crackled in Louis’s ear.“Louis, I’m almost to your location. Hold on!”The restraints finally clicked open, and Terminator X stood, his muscles flexing despite the toll of his captivity.“Get ready,” he said, his voice grim.“They won’t go down easily.”The first soldier lunged, a

The hideout was quiet except for the soft rustle of maps being unfolded.Louis traced his fingers over the aged parchment, his brow furrowed in concentration.The maps and artifacts recovered from the Kindsor estate were a maze of cryptic symbols and fragmented text.“This marking,” Louis said, pointing to an intricate rune near the center of the map.“It matches the glyphs we saw in the ruins outside Velron. It has to be connected to The Nexus.”Juliet leaned over his shoulder, studying the map.“But look at these coordinates. They lead to the base of the Umbra Peaks. That region is nothing but treacherous cliffs and ancient wards.”“Exactly why it makes sense,” Terminator X chimed in, his arms crossed.“The Eternals wouldn’t make their sanctuary easy to find. It’s meant to keep out anyone unworthy.”Louis nodded, though his expression was grim. “Then we’ll need to be ready for anything.”The group’s journey through the desolate wastelands brought them to a crumbling outpost, its st

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

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

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’
