FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 161
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 entrance to The Nexus was a towering stone gate carved into the mountainside, its surface etched with symbols that pulsed faintly in the dim light.The air around it seemed charged with an otherworldly energy, and Louis could feel the pull of the Heart growing stronger.“We’re here,” Juliet whispered, her voice tinged with awe.Terminator X stepped forward, examining the intricate carvings.“This place isn’t just ancient—it’s alive. The Eternals built it to protect their secrets.”Louis placed his hand on the gate, and the symbols lit up in response.The massive stone doors rumbled as they slid open, revealing a staircase spiraling downward into darkness.“Let’s move,” he said, his tone resolute.“Whatever’s down there, we need to find it before The Seer does.”The staircase opened into a vast underground sanctuary, its cavernous halls illuminated by floating orbs of light.Massive pillars stretched toward the ceiling, their surfaces covered in glowing inscriptions that shifted an

The chamber fell silent as The Seer’s soldiers halted their advance, forming a protective circle around her.She stepped forward with an air of supreme confidence, her piercing gaze fixed on Louis.Her voice, cold and commanding, echoed through the vast sanctuary."Enough of this pointless struggle," she said."You’re outnumbered, outmatched, and out of time. Let’s end this charade, shall we?"Louis’s chest heaved as he struggled to steady his breathing.The glow of his hands flickered weakly, a sign of his waning strength.He stepped forward, placing himself between The Seer and the obelisk.“You don’t get to decide when this ends,” Louis spat, his voice trembling with defiance.The Seer’s smirk widened.“Oh, but I do. You see, Louis, I’ve already won. You just don’t know it yet.”The Seer’s tone softened as she began circling him, her words laced with a dangerous allure.“You and I are not so different,” she said.“I, too, once fought to protect the balance. I was like your mother,

The ground beneath their feet trembled violently as The Nexus continued its catastrophic collapse.Chunks of the ceiling rained down, shattering into debris that blocked their path.The air was thick with dust, making it hard to see or breathe.“Move! Don’t stop!” Terminator X bellowed, shoving a falling slab of stone aside as he cleared a path for Juliet and Louis.Juliet grabbed Louis’s arm, trying to keep him steady.His face was pale, his breathing labored, and the faint glow of his hands had all but disappeared.“I’m fine,” Louis muttered, though the strain in his voice betrayed him.“Just keep going.”They sprinted toward the exit, the roar of collapsing stone growing louder behind them.A massive boulder crashed down, blocking their path.“Not this again!” Terminator X growled, slamming his shoulder into the rock. It shifted slightly but didn’t budge.Louis stepped forward, his hands trembling as he summoned the last dregs of his energy.“I’ll move it. Just… get ready to run.”

The skyline of Apple City was a stark contrast to the chaos they had left behind at The Nexus.The bustling streets hummed with life, oblivious to the battles fought in the shadows to protect them.Louis, Juliet, and Terminator X sat in a quiet corner of a rooftop overlooking the city, the weight of their journey evident in their tired expressions.The air was crisp, yet the silence between them carried an unspoken heaviness.It was Juliet who finally broke it.“So, it’s really over,” she said, her voice soft, though it carried a note of doubt.“Is it?” Terminator X replied, leaning back against the wall.“The Seer’s gone, but the damage she caused… It’s not something you just undo.”Louis, sitting with the shard in his hands, turned it over slowly, its faint glow a reminder of the power it held.“The network she built will fall apart without her,” he said quietly.“But this—” he held up the shard, “—this is what started it all.”Juliet shifted closer, her gaze steady. “What are you g

Louis sat in the corner of a modest café in Apple City, his hood pulled low to avoid the curious gazes of passersby.Juliet sat across from him, a determined look on her face, while Terminator X leaned against the wall, his arms crossed.“Have you seen this?” Juliet said, sliding a holo-screen across the table.It displayed a headline that read: “Hero or Threat? The Truth About Louis and the Nexus Collapse.”Louis glanced at it briefly before pushing it aside.“I don’t care what they’re saying.”“You should,” Terminator X said bluntly.“The city’s elites are turning you into public enemy number one. If you ignore this, it’ll only get worse.”Louis sighed, running a hand through his hair.“They don’t know what happened. They weren’t there. Why should I care about their opinions?”“Because their opinions shape the city,” Juliet countered.“And if you want any chance of rebuilding your life—or stopping future threats—you need to face this head-on.”Before Louis could respond, a notificat

Louis froze, the barrage of accusations hitting him like a wave.Juliet stepped in, raising her voice.“Back off! He’s not answering anything without context!”“Oh, let him speak,” Vivian said, her tone saccharine as she waved the reporters closer.“The people deserve to know the truth.”Louis clenched his fists, his voice low but steady.“The truth? The truth is that I stopped The Seer from destroying this city—and probably the world. But you don’t care about that, do you? You care about your headlines and your soundbites.”Vivian chuckled, her laughter light but cutting.“So defensive, Louis. That’s not a good look for someone who claims to be a hero.”Juliet stepped forward, her eyes blazing.“You want a story? Here’s one: Louis put his life on the line to stop The Seer. While people like you sat in your ivory towers, he was out there saving lives. So maybe show a little gratitude.”The crowd murmured, some nodding in agreement, others clearly skeptical.Vivian’s smile faltered for

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

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’
