FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 81
The neon lights of Apple City painted streaks across Juliet's face as she pressed herself against the cold brick wall.Her breath came in short, controlled bursts as she watched Vivian's silhouette disappear through the unmarked door.The building loomed before her – a ghost in the city's records but very much alive tonight."Damn it, Vivian," Juliet whispered to herself, checking her phone one last time.No signal.Perfect. Just perfect. If things go south, no one will even know where to look for my body.The metallic taste of fear coated her tongue as she crouched behind a dumpster reeking of last week's mistakes.Through the grimy window above, cigarette smoke curled like a serpent in the dim light."You're late." The voice sliced through the night like a blade – The Arbiter.So the whispers were true. The puppet master really does exist."Had to shake off some unwanted attention."Vivian's laugh was sharp enough to cut glass."But you should see Louis now. He's hanging on by a thr

Juliet’s chest heaved as she sprinted through the dense alley, her mind racing faster than her feet.The masked assassin had appeared out of nowhere, his movements silent and calculated.She could still feel the air displaced by the knife that had grazed her arm.Blood trickled down, but adrenaline kept her moving.The echo of footsteps grew louder, closer. Juliet turned a sharp corner, slamming into a solid figure.Her scream was muffled as a strong hand covered her mouth.“It’s me!” Louis’s familiar voice hissed.Relief washed over her as she collapsed against him, but there was no time to recover.The assassin’s footsteps echoed just around the corner.Louis pulled Juliet behind him, his body shielding hers as he raised his weapon.The assassin appeared, his mask glinting under the dim streetlights.Without hesitation, Louis fired a warning shot, forcing the attacker to dive for cover.The momentary distraction gave Louis enough time to pull Juliet into a nearby abandoned building.

Louis stared at his phone, the screen still bearing the haunting message. "Meet me where it all began, or lose everyone you care about.""We ready?" he asked, glancing back at Terminator X and Juliet.Terminator X checked his weapon, his jaw set. "As we'll ever be."Juliet nodded, her eyes scanning the eerie mansion before them. "Let's end this."They moved carefully through the property, each step measured. The dust-covered floors whispered stories of long-forgotten secrets."This is where my mother found everything," Louis murmured, approaching a stack of files in the center of the room. "Everything The Arbiter used to destroy me.""Stay sharp," Terminator X warned, his eyes continuously sweeping the room.Louis began sorting through the documents, his fingers trembling slightly. "Look at this. Proof of every manipulation, every false accusation."Juliet leaned closer. "These could change everything."Suddenly, a low, cold laugh sliced through the silence. Louis froze."Impressive,"

For a moment, everything seemed to freeze.Louis’s heart pounded in his chest as he stared down the barrel of the gun.His breath hitched, but his mind remained razor-sharp.He couldn’t let fear take over—not now.“You’ve lost, Louis,” The Arbiter sneered, his voice dripping with cold malice.“Everything you’ve built, everyone you care about—they’ll crumble before your eyes.”From the corner of his vision, Louis saw Terminator X shift slightly.“Not today,” Terminator X muttered, drawing his weapon and firing at one of the guards.The shot rang out, and the first guard collapsed.Gunfire erupted as the second guard retaliated, bullets ricocheting off the steel walls.Louis dove for cover, shouting over the chaos.“Get down! Juliet, Pearl—find cover!”Juliet grabbed Pearl’s arm, dragging her toward a row of large metal containers.“Come on! Stay low!” she urged, her voice tense.“We have to do something!” Pearl hissed, her voice trembling. “I can't let him die!”“don't be stupid,” Juli

Smoke and chaos clouded the air as The Arbiter’s men surrounded their leader, helping him to his feet.Blood trickled from the corner of The Arbiter’s mouth, but his eyes gleamed with malice as he turned to Louis, who was still catching his breath.“This isn’t the end, Kindsor,” The Arbiter sneered, his voice cold and venomous.“Next time, I’ll make sure you die slowly… mercilessly.”Before Louis could respond, a smoke grenade detonated, filling the chamber with a blinding haze.By the time the air cleared, The Arbiter and his men were gone.Back at the safe house, the atmosphere was thick with tension.Pearl sat stiffly on the edge of the couch, her face pale from both pain and frustration.Terminator X leaned against the wall, his sharp eyes scanning the room as if expecting an attack at any moment.Juliet stood by the window, her arms crossed, glancing between Pearl and Louis with a conflicted expression.“We need to talk,” Pearl said, her voice breaking the uneasy silence. Her tone

A bloodstained note accompanied it, the words scrawled in red ink:“One more step, and she loses more.”Pearl's face drained of color as she instinctively touched her wrist, realizing her bracelet was missing.Her voice trembled as she whispered, “What does this mean?”Louis’s grip on the note tightened, his jaw clenching as rage and fear coursed through him.“It means they have Juliet.”The severed finger with Juliet's bracelet sent a chilling silence through the room.Pearl pressed a trembling hand to her mouth, her mind racing.Louis’s eyes burned with fury as he reread the bloodstained note. Terminator X paced by the door, his face grim and calculating.“This changes everything,” Terminator X said, his voice low but urgent.“They’re baiting you, Louis. If we act without a plan, we’ll all end up dead—or worse.”“We don’t have time to wait,” Louis snapped, slamming the note onto the table.“Juliet’s life is on the line.”Pearl stepped closer, her voice shaking but resolute.“He’s ri

The abandoned manufacturing plant loomed in the distance, its rusted structure bathed in the pale light of the moon.Louis, Terminator X, and Pearl crouched behind a line of dense shrubs, surveying the guards patrolling the perimeter.“Three guards near the east gate,” Terminator X whispered, his eyes scanning the infrared feed on his wrist device.“Rotations every ten minutes. If we’re quick, we can slip past before they double back.”Louis tightened his grip on his gun.“What about inside?”“Heat signatures suggest at least twenty armed men,” Terminator X replied.“They’re spread out, but the central room is heavily guarded. That’s where they’re keeping Juliet.”Pearl adjusted the strap of her tactical vest, her jaw set with determination.“Let’s move. We don’t have time to waste.”Inside the facility, the trio moved like shadows, neutralizing guards with precision.Terminator X took point, disabling cameras and bypassing electronic locks while Louis and Pearl handled the guards.As

The sound of groaning metal and distant explosions filled the air as the facility began to collapse.Smoke and debris choked the corridors, but Louis refused to leave.His jaw tightened as Juliet tugged on his arm, her voice hoarse with desperation.“Louis, we have to go! It’s coming down!” she shouted.“Not without Terminator X and Pearl,” Louis growled, his eyes blazing with determination.He tore his arm free and charged back into the thick smoke.Juliet hesitated, her instincts screaming to follow, but her fear held her back.Inside, the chaos was relentless.Sparks rained down from exposed wires, and chunks of the ceiling crashed around Louis as he sprinted through the labyrinthine corridors.“Terminator! Pearl!” he shouted, his voice barely audible over the roaring destruction.A faint groan reached his ears.Following the sound, Louis turned a corner and found Terminator X slumped against a wall, his leg bleeding profusely.“You look terrible,” Louis said, crouching beside him.

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’

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
