FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 60
Juliet trailed behind Louis as he left the grand ballroom, her heels clicking softly against the pavement.She tightened her coat, her eyes locked on Louis’s retreating figure.“What are you hiding, Louis?” she whispered to herself, quickening her pace to keep him in sight.The streets grew darker and narrower as Louis turned into an unfamiliar part of town.Juliet hesitated at first but pressed on, determined to uncover the truth about his connection to Pearl.“This isn’t the place for someone like you,” a gruff voice called out, making her stop abruptly.“Well, well, look what we have here,” sneered a man with a scar across his cheek.His grin was menacing as his companions closed in around her.“Let me go!” Juliet shouted, struggling against their grip.Another man laughed.“Feisty, aren’t you? But you’re out of your depth, sweetheart.”Juliet’s heart raced.“What do you want from me?”The scar-faced man leaned closer, his breath reeking of alcohol.“It’s simple. Stay away from Lou

The leader laughed.“Oh, look who decided to show up. Mr. Big Shot. What are you going to do, call for help?”Louis’s lips curled into a grim smile.“I don’t need help.”Before the words fully registered, Louis moved.In one fluid motion, he crossed the distance and slammed his elbow into the nearest thug’s jaw.The man crumpled to the ground with a grunt.“Get him!” the leader barked, and the others charged.Louis sidestepped the first punch, twisting the attacker’s arm behind his back and shoving him into the wall.A second man swung wildly, but Louis ducked and retaliated with a precise kick to the ribs, sending him staggering.Juliet watched in stunned silence as Louis dispatched the attackers with practiced ease, his movements controlled and efficient.One by one, they fell until only the leader remained.“You’re going to regret this,” the man hissed, pulling a knife from his pocket.Louis’s eyes narrowed.“You already do.”The thug lunged, but Louis sidestepped, grabbing the man

Pearl stormed into the lavish Cavendish estate, her heels clicking against the marble floors as she approached her father’s study.Without knocking, she pushed the heavy oak doors open.Edward Cavendish looked up from his desk, his calm demeanor unwavering.“Pearl,” he said, setting his pen down.“To what do I owe this... dramatic entrance?”“Don’t play coy with me, Father.” Pearl’s tone was sharp, her eyes narrowing.“I know you’ve been hiding something about Louis. I want the truth.”Edward leaned back in his chair, studying her with a measured gaze.“Louis Kindsor? I wasn’t aware he was still a topic of interest for you.”“Don’t deflect,” she snapped.“Did you have anything to do with his exile from the Kindsor family?”Edward’s expression darkened slightly, but he kept his composure.“You should tread carefully with your accusations, Pearl. I had no hand in what happened to him.”Pearl crossed her arms, refusing to back down.“I don’t believe you.The timing of his exile, the rumo

Louis and Terminator X sat hunched over the Moonlit Grace, the engraved message glinting under a desk lamp.“‘For the truth, seek the Cavendish heir,’” Terminator X read aloud, tapping the words with a finger. “It’s cryptic, but it’s a start. What’s your move?”Louis exhaled slowly, his eyes fixed on the intricate engraving.“The Cavendish family has been circling this mess for years. Pearl might be the key, but I need solid answers before I confront her—or her father.”Terminator X smirked.“You’re lucky I’m good at puzzles. Look closer at these markings around the words—they’re not just decorative.”Louis leaned in, his brow furrowing.“Coordinates?”“Exactly,” Terminator X confirmed, typing the numbers into his tablet.A map appeared on the screen, zeroing in on a section of the sprawling Kindsor estate.“This points to an old structure on your family’s land. Abandoned for years, according to the records.”Louis’s expression hardened.“Abandoned, or deliberately forgotten?”“Only

ONE DAY BEFORE SAMUEL WENT TO MEET LOUIS----Vivian sat in her penthouse suite, the dim lighting casting long shadows across the room.Her lips curled into a smirk as Samuel entered, his posture stiff and uncertain.On the table before her was a sleek black bag, the zipper slightly open, revealing bundles of crisp bills.“Samuel,” Vivian greeted smoothly, her tone oozing false warmth.“So good of you to come. I was beginning to think you had second thoughts.”Samuel shifted uncomfortably, glancing at the bag of money.“I didn’t. But this… this doesn’t sit right with me, Vivian. Louis—”“Louis?” Vivian interrupted, her voice sharp as she leaned forward.“You mean the so-called self-made man? The fraud? The loser who spent years doing house chores and suddenly thinks he’s some kind of kingpin because he has Terminator X cleaning up his messes?” She let out a cold laugh, her manicured nails tapping against her wine glass.Samuel frowned but remained silent.“Oh, don’t look at me like tha

“How could Samuel do this?” Louis muttered, gripping the edge of his desk so tightly that his knuckles turned white.Terminator X stopped mid-stride.“He didn’t just betray you, Louis. He handed her exactly what she needed to spin the narrative in her favor.”Louis clenched his jaw.“Play it again.”With a grim nod, Terminator X hit play.Samuel’s voice came through the speakers, smooth and conversational.“Vivian and Halton won’t stop until they ruin me,” Louis’s voice said, though the context had been carefully edited.“If Juliet and Pearl are caught in the crossfire, so be it. I’ll do what I must to protect my empire.”The recording ended with a deliberate pause, leaving just enough room for speculation and outrage.“Twisted beyond recognition,” Terminator X growled.“They’ve made you sound like a calculating monster who uses women as pawns.”Louis leaned back in his chair, his mind racing.“The media is eating this up. They’ll dissect every word, every pause. Damage control will b

Juliet had been pacing her apartment, conflicted and overwhelmed by the whirlwind of accusations and betrayals swirling around Louis.Her phone chimed with a message from an unknown number.“I have information that will prove Louis is lying to you. Meet me at Blue Orchid Café at 3 PM. —V.”Juliet hesitated, staring at the message.She wanted answers, but trusting Vivian felt like walking into a trap.Her emotions, however, overpowered her logic.If there’s a chance to know the truth, I have to take it.At 3 PM, Juliet walked into the café, scanning the crowd until she spotted Vivian, sipping on a glass of wine with a practiced air of superiority.“You actually came,” Vivian said, smirking.“I wasn’t sure you’d be brave enough.”“I’m not here for games, Vivian. What do you have?” Juliet snapped, pulling out a chair.Vivian leaned forward, her expression sly.“I could give you all the proof you need to see Louis for what he is, but I need something from you first.”“What could I possibl

Louis moved like a shadow, catching the attacker’s wrist and redirecting the blade.The man stumbled as Louis struck his ribs with an elbow, following it with a swift kick that sent him sprawling to the ground.The burly man, despite his injured arm, charged again."You think you’re better than us?" he growled, swinging wildly.Louis ducked, his movements precise and calculated.He delivered a brutal uppercut, sending the man reeling back into a stack of crates."Better? No," Louis said, stepping over the groaning man."Smarter and faster? Absolutely."From behind him, the lean man scrambled to his feet, gripping a metal pipe he’d found among the debris.He swung it with force, aiming for Louis’s head.Louis turned just in time, raising his arm to block the blow.Pain shot through his forearm, but he didn’t falter.With a swift movement, Louis disarmed the man, twisting the pipe out of his grasp and tossing it aside.He landed a powerful punch to the man’s temple, sending him crashing

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

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’

Project Blood Moon was in motion.If they didn’t move now, Louis’s entire bloodline would be wiped out.Juliet sat at the desk, hunched over her screen, decrypting the last fragments of stolen files. Her fingers moved fast, but her face was pale.“We don’t have days,” she said, her voice tight. “We don’t even have hours. They’ve started the countdown.”Louis’s fists clenched at his sides. He already knew it. The clock was ticking.Pearl stood near the weapons table, methodically loading a magazine, her expression unreadable.“We take the facility,” she said. No hesitation. “We get in, we kill anyone in our way, and we erase that virus from existence.”Juliet exhaled. “It’s not that simple, Pearl. It’s a bio-secure facility. We can’t just waltz in and start shooting.”Pearl raised an eyebrow. “Sure we can.”Louis finally spoke, his voice low but firm. “Juliet’s right. This isn’t just about breaking in. We need to make sure the virus is destroyed permanently.”And that meant getting ins
CHAPTER 276
Pearl’s body tensed immediately. “You’re telling me this thing—” she gestured toward Louis, “—was made specifically to kill him?”Juliet shook her head. “Not just him.”She turned her screen, flashing an encrypted list that sent a shiver down Louis’s spine.Names. Birthdates. Genealogical data.Juliet pointed at the top. “They’ve mapped out your entire family line. Not just you, Louis—your parents, your extended relatives, anyone remotely connected to your lineage.”Louis didn’t react immediately. His mind sifted through old memories—names and faces from a past he had long since buried.His mother. His father. Gone.But his uncle, distant cousins—they were still out there.Pearl exhaled slowly. “How far have they gotten?”Juliet clicked through more files, her jaw tightening. “They’re not testing it on the streets yet. Not on live populations.”Pearl folded her arms. “Then where?”Juliet’s face darkened. “A facility. One of The Obsidian Ring’s black sites. The files list it as Lockdow
