FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 84
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.

Louis sat at his desk, the dim light casting sharp shadows across his face.His phone buzzed beside him, the screen displaying a name he hadn’t seen in years: Anton Devereaux.“Devereaux,” Louis said as he answered, his voice measured.“I need your help.”The voice on the other end chuckled dryly.“Straight to business, I see. What’s this about, Cavendish?”“The Cavendish archives,” Louis said without hesitation.“I need access.”Devereaux’s tone turned serious.“Those archives are a labyrinth of secrets. Are you sure you want to dig into that mess?”“I don’t have a choice,” Louis replied.“It’s about Pearl’s family. I need to know how deep their ties to The Arbiter run.”There was a pause before Devereaux spoke again.“Fine. But you owe me for this, Louis. I’ll get you what you need.”Louis ended the call and leaned back in his chair, his mind racing.He had always known that the Cavendish archives held answers to many questions, but he hadn’t anticipated needing them for something l

The dim glow of computer screens illuminated the tension-filled room.Terminator X worked furiously, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he decrypted files recovered from Samuel’s encrypted devices.Lines of data scrolled down the monitors like an ominous countdown, each revelation tightening the noose around the team.“It’s bigger than we thought,” Terminator X muttered, his voice breaking the silence.“The Arbiter isn’t just targeting us—he’s infiltrating corporations, politicians, tech giants. He’s building a web to control everything.”Louis stood behind him, arms crossed, his jaw clenched.“What’s the endgame?”Terminator X pointed to a cluster of flagged files.“Economic collapse, blackmail, and consolidation of power. They’re dismantling key industries and replacing leadership with their puppets. This isn’t just about you, Louis—it’s about total domination.”Pearl leaned against the wall, her arms folded tightly.“So we’re fighting an entire shadow empire? Great. Any good

The grand ballroom of the Kindsor estate shimmered with opulence, the laughter and clinking of glasses masking the underlying tension that Louis carried into the event.Every corner of the room was filled with Apple City’s elite, their superficial smiles hiding secrets that could destroy lives.Louis adjusted his cufflinks, his eyes scanning the crowd for familiar faces.He felt the weight of the journal in his hidden pocket—a symbol of both his leverage and his vulnerability. He knew this was a trap.He also knew it was his only chance to get closer to the truth.“You’re late,” Juliet whispered through her earpiece.Disguised in a sleek black gown and a wig, she moved among the guests with practiced ease.“I’ve got eyes on two Eternals operatives near the north wing. Pearl’s working the east side.”Louis murmured in response, his voice low. “Stay sharp. If anything feels off, pull back.”“Not a chance,” Juliet shot back.“I didn’t sneak in here just to be sidelined.”Across the room

The room fell silent as Louis processed the revelation.His hands clenched into fists.“He’s making this personal.”Juliet leaned forward, her expression firm.“We can’t let him bait us. If we act rashly, we’re playing into his hands.”“I won’t let him use you to get to me,” Louis said, his voice low but intense.“Whatever his plan is, we’ll stop it.”Pearl entered the room, sensing the tension.“What’s going on?”Juliet handed her the document.“The Broker’s targeting me.”Pearl’s face darkened as she read the file.“If he thinks we’ll just stand by and let this happen, he’s in for a rude awakening.”The envelope arrived on Juliet’s desk early in the morning, sealed with a wax stamp featuring an intricate insignia. She unfolded the note inside, her heart sinking as she read:“Your presence is requested at an exclusive gathering of Apple City’s most influential figures. Stakes are high, secrets even higher. The Broker awaits.”She handed it to Louis, who scanned it with a grim expres

The sound of hammering echoed through the AAA Group’s headquarters as workers repaired the damage from Vivian’s sabotage.The city, still reeling from the chaos, was beginning to rebuild. Louis stood by a large window, watching cranes move across the skyline.The city was recovering, but the scars of the battle remained.“Things are stabilizing,” Pearl said, entering the room with a tablet in hand.“Investors are returning, and the media’s finally painting you as the hero you are.”Louis sighed, his expression thoughtful.“It doesn’t feel like a victory, Pearl. Not with whispers of a new player already in motion.”Pearl raised an eyebrow.“The Broker?”He nodded.“Whoever they are, they’re making moves. Rumors of deals, alliances, threats—it’s too coordinated to ignore.”In a dimly lit café, Juliet sat across from a nervous informant, her voice low but firm.“You said The Broker has ties to The Eternals. I need names, connections—anything that gives me a lead.”The informant shifted u

The sun rose over the smoldering ruins of Vivian’s underground lab, its golden rays piercing through the lingering smoke.Louis pushed aside a broken piece of debris, his movements slow and labored.Cuts and bruises adorned his face, his suit tattered from the battle. But he was alive.“Louis!” Juliet’s voice cut through the silence, a mixture of relief and urgency.He turned to see Juliet and Pearl rushing toward him, their expressions a blend of worry and hope.“I’m okay,” Louis said, his voice hoarse but steady.“It’s over.”Pearl reached him first, helping him stand.“You look like hell,” she said, her tone light but her eyes filled with concern.“I’ve felt worse,” Louis replied with a faint smile.“Vivian?”They turned to see Terminator X dragging a dazed Vivian from the wreckage.Her once-commanding presence was gone, replaced by a hollow, defeated look.The faint glow that had once surrounded her body was extinguished, and her movements were weak.“She’s powerless now,” Termina

The force field hummed with a menacing energy as Louis and Vivian circled each other in the central chamber of the lab.The relic pulsed between them, its light flickering erratically as if sensing the tension.“You should have joined me, Louis,” Vivian said, her voice low but edged with venom.“We could have been unstoppable.”Louis shook his head, his stance steady.“Unstoppable? You’re destroying everything you touch, Vivian. That’s not strength—it’s recklessness.”Vivian’s eyes flared with energy, her body glowing brighter.“And you’re a fool for clinging to outdated ideals. Let’s see how far those ideals get you.”With a sharp motion, she unleashed a blast of energy, the force crackling through the air.Louis dove behind a piece of equipment, the heat of the attack scorching the ground where he had stood.“You can’t hide forever!” Vivian shouted, launching another wave of power that shattered a row of consoles.Louis emerged from cover, his voice calm despite the chaos.“I’m not

Louis sat in the dimly lit conference room, his arms crossed as he stared at Hector across the table.The once-confident tycoon looked haggard, his tailored suit wrinkled and his demeanor shaken.“I want immunity,” Hector said, his voice trembling slightly.“In writing. No legal consequences, no retaliation.”Louis’s eyes narrowed.“And in exchange, you’ll give me Vivian’s location?”Hector nodded, his hands clasped tightly on the table.“I know where she’s hiding. I know everything she’s planning.”Juliet, standing behind Louis, crossed her arms.“And why should we trust you? You’ve been in bed with Vivian this whole time.”Hector flinched at her words but kept his focus on Louis.“Because I want out. Vivian’s lost control. She’s not just going after you—she’s going to bring down the entire city.”Louis leaned forward, his voice low and measured.“Why now, Hector? What’s changed?”Hector hesitated before replying.“She doesn’t care who she hurts anymore. I thought I could manage her,

The first blackout hit during rush hour. Apple City’s skyline, usually shimmering with lights, went dark, plunging entire districts into chaos.Traffic snarled as signals failed, and emergency sirens wailed through the streets.In the distance, a faint, eerie glow emanated from an underground source.Louis stood in the AAA Group’s operations center, surrounded by his core team.The tension was palpable.“Report,” Louis ordered, his voice sharp.Juliet, seated at a console, scanned the live updates.“Blackouts in three sectors. Power grid’s overloaded. We’re looking at structural damage in at least two skyscrapers.”“It’s the relic,” Terminator X said grimly.“Vivian’s pushing it too hard. The energy output is destabilizing everything.”Louis clenched his fists.“She’s tearing the city apart just to get to us.”Pearl entered, her phone in hand.“I’ve got contacts in the elite circles who are willing to help, but they need proof that Vivian’s behind this. Right now, she’s spinning it as

From a safe distance, Juliet and Pearl watched the duel unfold, their emotions a mix of awe and concern.“He’s holding his own,” Juliet said, her voice tense.“But she’s overwhelming him.”Pearl shook her head.“He’s not trying to overpower her. He’s making her expend her energy. It’s a classic tactic.”Juliet glanced at her, surprised.“You really trust him, don’t you?”“I do,” Pearl admitted.“But it’s not just trust—it’s understanding. He’s carrying more than anyone should have to.”Juliet’s expression softened.“You’re right. And maybe I’ve been too focused on my own frustrations to see that.”Pearl smiled faintly.“We both want the same thing—for him to make it through this. We just have different ways of showing it.”Vivian’s relentless attacks began to take their toll.Her movements became less precise, her energy surges less controlled. Louis noticed the change and seized the moment.“You’re slipping, Vivian,” he said, stepping out from his cover.“That power you’re so proud o

Louis turned to see her stepping out of the shadows, her figure illuminated by the faint glow of the relic’s energy coursing through her veins. Her movements were fluid, almost inhuman.“Vivian,” he said evenly.“We don’t have to do this. Whatever the relic did to you—”“It gave me clarity,” she interrupted, her voice rising.“For the first time, I see the world for what it is. Weak, chaotic, broken. And I’m going to fix it.”Louis stepped forward cautiously.“By tearing it apart?”“No,” she said, her eyes narrowing.“By rebuilding it in my image. I am the future of this city, Louis. You’re just a relic of its past.”With a flick of her wrist, Vivian sent a burst of energy hurtling toward Louis.He dove to the side, the blast narrowly missing him and leaving a scorched mark on the floor.“You see?” she said, her voice filled with dark glee.“This is what true power looks like. And you? You’re powerless against it.”Louis stood, his voice calm despite the tension.“Power doesn’t make y

Vivian stood in the remnants of her ruined lab, her body trembling with pain and energy.Her once-perfect features were marred by faint glowing veins that pulsed with the same eerie light as the relic. Despite her injuries, she felt stronger than ever.She clenched her fists, watching as faint sparks of energy danced across her fingertips.“They think they can stop me,” she murmured, her voice low but filled with determination.“They have no idea what I’ve become.”Hector entered cautiously, his gaze darting to the relic still glowing faintly on the table.“Vivian, you need medical attention. You’re—”“Evolving,” she interrupted, turning to face him. Her eyes gleamed with an unnatural light.“The relic didn’t curse me—it awakened me. This is power, Hector. True power.”Hector’s unease deepened. “And what’s your plan? Destroy everything in your path?”“If that’s what it takes,” she said coldly.“Louis Kindsor is my first target. He’s been a thorn in my side for too long.”At the AAA Gr
