FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 91
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 ground shuddered as small explosives erupted outside the Kindsor estate, sending shards of glass raining onto the ballroom floor.Screams filled the air as chaos consumed the once-glittering gala.“Everyone, move to the exits!” Louis shouted, motioning frantically toward the panicked guests.Juliet grabbed a dazed woman by the arm and guided her toward the exit.“Stay calm and keep moving!” she urged, her own heartbeat thundering in her ears.Through the commotion, Terminator X’s voice crackled in Louis’s earpiece.“The Arbiter’s men are in the west wing, planting more charges. If we don’t stop them now, this place is coming down.”“Understood,” Louis replied. He turned to Pearl, who was scanning the room.“Can you handle the security system? We need to take back control.”Pearl nodded sharply. “Give me five minutes.”“You’ve got three.” Louis tightened his grip on his weapon and headed toward the west wing.In the security room, Pearl worked swiftly, her fingers flying over the k

The night sky over the Arlose Group headquarters was lit with flashes of gunfire and the wail of alarms.Smoke billowed from broken windows, and shouts echoed across the courtyard as The Arbiter’s mercenaries stormed the facility.“We’re outnumbered,” Terminator X said, crouching beside Louis behind an overturned vehicle.“But we’ve got the advantage of knowing this place better than they do.”Louis surveyed the chaos, his expression grim.“Pearl, take the east entrance and disable their communications. Terminator X, hold the west wing. I’ll clear the top floors and secure the control room.”Pearl hesitated, glancing at him.“Are you sure about splitting up?”“We don’t have a choice,” Louis replied, loading his weapon.“If we don’t act now, they’ll overrun the building.”Inside the facility, Louis moved with precision, using his knowledge of the layout to ambush the mercenaries. He took them out silently, his movements quick and lethal. As he reached the second floor, he paused, heari

Louis’s heart raced as he read the message from The Arbiter, the words sending a cold shiver down his spine: “Your dear father might be one reason you’re facing this fate.”The message was a direct challenge, and Louis’s frustration boiled over.Who was this mysterious threat, and why was The Arbiter so sure that the danger was close to him?He stormed into the Kindsor family estate, his mind whirling with thoughts of betrayal.The air inside felt colder than it had ever been, and every step toward his father’s office felt heavier.It was hard to ignore the weight of years spent in exile, but now, with his hands clenched into fists, Louis wasn’t a boy anymore.He had power, he had purpose, and he would find out the truth.When Louis entered the study, his father’s eyes lit up. A rare smile crept across his face.“Louis! It’s been too long,” his father said, standing from his desk and extending his arms.But Louis wasn’t fooled.The warmth in his father’s voice felt like a distant memo

“Your mother was weak. She would have ruined this family. Edward Cavendish and I ensured the Kindsor legacy would survive.”Louis’s fists clenched at her admission, his mind reeling.“You had her killed,” he said, his voice trembling with fury.“You orchestrated my exile. For what? Power?”His stepmother smirked.“Power is survival, Louis. You wouldn’t understand. You’re too much like her.”The room seemed to close in as Louis stepped closer, his fury boiling over.“You’ll pay for what you’ve done,” he hissed.Louis’s eyes burned with fury as he stepped forward, the years of suppression and pain surging inside him. “I’m done with your lies,” he growled, his voice low and menacing. “You’re going to feel everything you made her feel. You’re going to suffer for what you did.”“Terminator X!”At his call, Terminator X entered the room, his towering frame casting a menacing shadow.“Take her,” Louis ordered, his voice cold. “Make her feel every ounce of the pain she caused. Let her beg. Le

Louis stood in front of the dilapidated manor, the wind howling through the trees surrounding it. The manor, once full of life and warmth, now stood as a ghostly shell of its former self.The walls were weathered, and the windows were dark, yet there was an undeniable sense of familiarity that tugged at Louis’s chest."Oh mom. I miss you," he murmured.This place, once home to his mother, now seemed to mock him, reminding him of the unanswered questions and the betrayal that had plagued him for so long.As he stepped through the creaking door, a chill ran down his spine. It felt as if the house itself was holding its breath, waiting for him. The house was eerily preserved, as though frozen in time.He heard the voice of The Arbiter in his mind, echoing the words from the message: “Come alone, Louis. This is where it all began. Where your fate was sealed. Let us finish what we started.”The hallway stretched out before him, its old portraits hanging crookedly on the walls.Each one se

FLASHBACK CONTINUESIt was the night before Louis’s mother’s death. The house was quiet, the air thick with tension.His mother had been sitting on the couch, her expression soft but filled with an undeniable sadness.“Louis,” she had said, her voice a whisper in the stillness of the night.“Tomorrow is important. You need to be prepared for what’s coming. This world isn’t kind, and there are things you don’t know yet.”Louis had leaned forward, confused.“What do you mean, Mom?”She had reached into her pocket and pulled out a ring, its golden surface glinting in the low light. “This is for the woman you love, when the time is right,” she said, her voice gentle but firm.“It’s my blessing, Louis. I want you to know that no matter what happens, I will always be with you. Even when I’m not here.”Louis had laughed, trying to ease the tension.“You’re going to make me look like a handsome groom, huh?” he’d joked, holding up the ring.Her expression softened, and she smiled at him, the

Juliet and Pearl crouched in the shadows just outside the dilapidated manor, the chill of the night seeping into their bones.Despite Louis's explicit orders to stay behind, neither could bear the thought of letting him face The Arbiter alone.Armed with determination and quiet resolve, they had followed him, keeping a safe distance as he ventured inside.“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Pearl whispered, her eyes darting toward the dimly lit windows of the manor.Juliet shot her a determined look.“Louis may think he’s invincible, but he’s not. If he’s walking into a trap, we need to be there to pull him out.”They crept around the perimeter, their steps cautious and silent.It was Juliet who first noticed the faint outline of a trapdoor partially concealed by overgrown weeds near the manor’s side entrance.“Here,” she hissed, motioning Pearl over.“Help me get this open.”Together, they pried the rusted door open, revealing a narrow set of stone steps leading into darkness.“I’ll

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

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
