The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Another Empire Conquered
Muerte’s breath was shallow, his fingers curling around the armrest of his chair as his mind raced.This wasn’t possible.He had Hannah locked away—his most valuable leverage—yet she stood right there, safe in Andrew’s arms.Muerte’s voice was tight. “How… How did you—?”Andrew chuckled darkly, his arms wrapped protectively around Hannah. He let the silence stretch, watching the panic creep into Muerte’s expression. Then, with a smirk, he took a step forward.“You really think I’d just hand over the real drive without making sure I got her back first?” Andrew tilted his head mockingly. “Muerte, I don’t think you understand just how outmatched you are.”Muerte’s eye twitched, but his hands clenched into fists. “I had her secured.”Andrew sighed dramatically, then gestured lazily toward Hannah. “Oh, yeah. You did. Until you didn’t.”Muerte’s nostrils flared. “Tell me how.”Andrew’s smirk widened as he leaned against the chair across from Muerte. He exhaled, running a hand through his da
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Is She Dead?
Andrew's heart pounded as he chased after Hannah through the dimly lit streets. Her shoulders trembled as she ran, her breath uneven.“Hannah, wait!” he called again, but she didn’t stop.She was barely hearing him, barely thinking. The night air felt suffocating, her mind replaying everything.The kidnapping, the torture, Sean’s death, and now Muerte, crippled and screaming in agony.Andrew finally caught up with her, grabbing her wrist gently but firmly.“Hannah, please,” his voice was softer now. “Just stop for a second.”She ripped her hand away, staggering backward. “Don’t touch me!”Andrew took a step back, his eyes clouded with concern. “I...Hannah, I understand what you’re going through...”Her broken laughter cut him off. She hugged her arms, shaking her head furiously.“You DON’T understand, Andrew.”Her voice cracked, raw from the overwhelming pain in her chest.Andrew hesitated, guilt tightening his throat. “I do, Hannah. You went through hell. I know the trauma must be—”
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Fight For Life
Fredrick and Leon came rushing from the other side of the street, their faces pale as they saw Hannah’s motionless body.Leon grabbed Andrew’s shoulder. “Andrew—”Andrew jerked away violently.“DON’T TOUCH ME!” he barked.His chest heaved, his entire body trembling.Hannah’s fingers twitched weakly, trying to reach for him.Andrew caught her hand, squeezing it tightly.“I’ve got you,” he whispered, his voice breaking.Her breathing was shallow. Andrew felt something snap inside him, he couldn’t lose her.Not like this..Not after everything.His heart pounded painfully against his ribs.The sound of sirens wailed in the distance, but Andrew wasn’t sure if they’d make it in time.He pressed his forehead against hers, whispering.“Please, don’t leave me.”Her eyes flickered open, barely focused.“…Andrew…” Her voice was weak, fragile.Andrew squeezed his eyes shut, his grip on her never loosening.“Stay with me,” he begged. “I’ll fix everything. Just stay.”Her eyelashes fluttered, her f
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Released From Prison
Andrew stepped out of the ICU, his head heavy with exhaustion. Hannah was still alive, but barely.The steady rhythm of the machines monitoring her fragile state echoed in his ears as he took slow steps down the hospital corridor. His body was numb. His thoughts, chaotic.Then, just as he stepped into the open hallway—"Andrew Everest!" A commanding voice rang out.He barely had time to react before uniformed officers swarmed him, their boots echoing against the cold tile floor.Two men grabbed his arms, forcing them behind his back. The sharp click of handcuffs rang in his ears.“You are under arrest for escaping from prison and the attempted murder of your uncle.”Andrew didn't fight, he didn't resist, he simply stood there, letting them restrain him.His body was there, but his mind was still in that ICU room, where Hannah lay unmoving.As the officers started to pull him away, he barely registered the frantic shouts around him.But as they led him out of the hospital, one thought
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Where Is She?
Andrew sat on the alleyway as he back was slumpe against the cold brick wall of the alley. His breath came in sharp, uneven gasps, his chest heaving as he buried his face in his hands.“Damn it… why?” His fingers tightening in his hair.She had been right in front of him. Or at least, someone who looked exactly like her. Was it really her? Or was his mind playing cruel tricks on him?He clenched his fists. "No. It had to be her." “Andrew.” A familiar voice snapped him from his thoughts. He looked up, his red-rimmed eyes meeting Fredrick, Leon and Taylor.Taylor’s sharp gaze softened slightly when he saw the broken expression on Andrew’s face.Fredrick sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “Come on, man. It’s fine. Let’s go home.”Andrew stared at them for a long moment before shaking his head.“Not yet,” he murmured. Taylor narrowed his eyes. “Andrew—”“I need to see her.” Andrew’s voice was firm. “I need to know if she’s alive.”Fredrick, Leon and Taylor exchanged glances, then nodd
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain She Lost Her Memories
Andrew sat stiffly in the backseat of the SUV, his fingers gripping the edge of his seat as Taylor worked furiously on his laptop. The rhythmic clacking of the keys was the only sound in the tense silence.Fredrick and Leon sat nearby, waiting. No one spoke.Then, Taylor exhaled sharply, his eyes narrowing at the screen. “I found her.”Andrew’s head snapped up. Fredrick leaned forward. “Where?”Taylor turned the laptop around, showing an address on the screen.A small suburban neighborhood. Andrew frowned. The location was nowhere near the luxurious life Hannah once had. No penthouses, no five-star security.Just a simple, modest apartment complex. Andrew’s hands clenched into fists."Why would she be living here? Drive,” he ordered.Fredrick nodded and started the engine. The SUV pulled away from the curb, the city lights fading behind them.As they pulled up to the neighborhood, Andrew stared at the small apartment building ahead.It was nothing like the world Hannah once belonged
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Casually Drawn To Him
Andrew barely had time to react before Hannah grabbed his hand.“We need to run,” she whispered urgently. Andrew froze.What?Why?He stared at her, utterly confused. She didn’t know him—so why was she holding his hand like this?“Hannah!” Nelson’s voice boomed from behind them.But she didn’t stop. She only tightened her grip around Andrew’s hand and pulled him forward.“Come on!” Andrew staggered forward as she tugged him into a sprint.The wind rushed past them as they ran down the dimly lit streets, dodging pedestrians and slipping between narrow alleyways.Andrew could still hear Nelson’s furious voice echoing in the distance.But Hannah? She was laughing. Her face was filled wut happiness, as if she hadn’t felt this free in a long time.And that… shocked Andrew the most. Why was she acting like this?Why was she running away with him—a stranger she didn’t even remember? But he couldn’t focus on that now.He just ran, letting her guide him. They finally stumbled into a dark alley
The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Come Back 1
The moment Hannah screamed his name, something inside Andrew snapped. It wasn’t just anger—it was rage. His fists clenched, veins pulsing as his eyes darkened.The memory of Hannah walking away from him, telling him he couldn’t protect her, burned in his mind.Not this time. One of the men, the tallest of the group, sneered at him. “You wanna be a hero, tough guy?”Andrew didn’t answer, he immediately moved. His fist flew forward like a bullet, colliding with the man’s jaw.A loud CRACK echoed through the restaurant.The man’s head snapped back, his body staggering before he crashed into a table, flipping it over.Before the next thug could react, Andrew’s elbow smashed into his ribs, knocking the air out of his lungs.The man choked, doubling over in pain. Andrew grabbed his collar, lifted him off his feet, and slammed him into a chair.Wood shattered as the restaurant erupted into chaos.Customers screamed, dishes crashed to the ground, but Andrew didn’t stop.Another thug swung a p

Test Protocol
Days had passed, and Hannah had refused to even look in Andrew's direction. She’d barely eaten, barely spoken.Taylor stood by the door. He cleared his throat. "Hannah… we need to talk."Her voice came, cold and controlled. "About what?"Taylor sighed and stepped into the room, closing the door behind him. "No lies this time. Just about the stuffs I told you the last time ."She looked away. "Why would I help you?""Because you’re the only one who can access the biometric node at KAIROS. The data there might explain what they did to you… and to the baby."Hannah’s breath caught slightly. The child."I’m not doing this for him," she said. "I’m doing this to protect my baby. That’s all."Taylor nodded. "Understood."Outside the room, Andrew waited, pacing. When Taylor came out, he tried once again to approach the door, but Taylor stopped him. "She agreed," he said. "But she’s not ready to see you."Andrew didn’t argue. He just stood there, fists clenched, expression unreadable.Later th
I Love My Child: Abortion Wasn't the Answer
Andrew stood alone in the corridor outside the med bay, his back to the wall, arms folded tightly across his chest.It had been three days since she’d thrown a glass at him. Since she’d screamed that she hated him.Since she’d looked at him like he was a stranger.He hadn’t gone back in. Dr. Yuen had kept him informed—quietly, professionally. The scans were coming in clean. The baby was fine. Hannah was recovering. Physically.Emotionally? That was a different story.Taylor passed him once, pausing with a hesitant glance. “She’s still not speaking to you?”Andrew didn’t answer, Taylor didn’t press. He just gave a short nod and disappeared down the hall.Inside the med bay, Hannah sat curled on the edge of the bed, knees to her chest, gaze locked on the blank wall across from her. Her hair was pulled into a messy bun. Her IV had long been removed, but the tape still clung to her wrist.She hadn’t spoken more than five words to anyone since that night. Only to Dr. Yuen, and only when sh
She Knows
She collapsed in his arms the moment the second attacker hit the floor, Andrew didn’t breathe.For a few seconds, her head was against his chest and her breathe was shallow. He knelt, cradling her gently, brushing damp strands of hair from her forehead with his fingers still red from the fight.“I’ve got you,” he whispered. “You’re alright now. I’m here. He scooped her up, and walked out through the front door, boots crunching glass behind him. By the time he reached the secure exit and loaded her into the black SUV waiting in the alley, his voice was steady again — but his hands trembled.“Drive,” he told the AI. “Take us to fallback safehouse: Pudong sector. Level-three lockdown."He clenched his jaw, teeth grinding silently and that meant one thing: Liu Wenjie had just signed his death certificate.The SUV pulled to a hard stop in front of the secured safehouse. The reinforced doors slid open.Taylor, Leon, and Frederick stood waiting under the pale light of dusk.They barely had
They Don't Take A Break
Hannah was bored of staying at home as she wrapped her scarf tighter as she stepped out of the glass tower, with sunglasses shielding her eyes. She needed fresh air. Space to think. And for once, just feel normal.She was only going down the street. She didn't have a destination..maybe she might go to the Pharmacy, or a tea shop or maybe just walk back. But something felt wrong the moment she crossed the first intersection. The wind hit harder than it should have. "Ahhhh?" She felt pain he her stomach as she clutched her belle hard.The nearest pharmacy was only six blocks a familiar spot she’d passed during her first two days here. The route cut through a narrow café-lined street where. She kept her head down, one hand in her coat pocket.By the time she stepped into the pharmacy, her vision had begun to blur at the edges.The woman at the counter greeted her with a familiar smile. “Morning, Ms. Hannah.”Hannah forced a smile. “Hi.” She handed over her prescription card.The woman
What Did They Do To My Baby?
They sat under high-spectrum scan light, connected through a double-isolated channel into Taylor’s offline decoding rig. Three plasma monitors flickered to life, feeding raw signal patterns into algorithmic scramblers.Taylor’s eyes narrowed as lines of corrupted metadata unraveled in bursts of red and white static.“This is deep-locked military encryption,” he muttered. “But not national. Private-sector stuff. Unregistered… compartmentalized black-tier development.”Andrew stood over his shoulder, arms crossed, jaw tight. “Keep going.”“I’m looking at this code,” Taylor muttered, “but it’s like... Some of this feels familiar. But I don’t remember decrypting it.”Andrew didn’t move.“You did,” he said.Taylor looked up.“Four days ago,” Andrew continued, eyes fixed on the screen. “You hacked into Liu’s restricted medical network. You found a file tagged Carrier 6B. You told me Hannah was already being scanned.”Taylor blinked. “I… said that?”Andrew nodded. “Then you forgot.”Taylor t
Interception
The van rolled quietly through the east industrial corridor of Shanghai, escorted by silence and low fog. Its windows were blacked out. Its GPS route was shielded by encrypted pings feeding directly into Liu Wenjie’s private surveillance channel.To everyone in the command chain, everything was proceeding exactly as it should.But Andrew had built the lie before the route even began.Two Hours Earlier...In a dimly lit garage beneath a fake shell company in Baoshan District, Taylor stood beside an identical replica of the auction van. Same model. Same make. Same tires, even matched wear on the sidewalls.Andrew stood across from him, zipping up a matte-black delivery suit that bore the same credentials as Liu’s logistics personnel.“Thermal sync patch is ready,” Taylor said, holding up a small node. “Once you’re inside the real van, press this against the core. It’ll copy the biometric read pattern in case they try to match it later.”Andrew pulled gloves tight, checked the scanner ri
Operation: Lot Forty Three
Andrew stepped out of the car without a word, coat collar turned up against the wind.The driver didn’t wait. The door shut, and the sedan rolled off without hesitation.He stood at the entrance of what looked like a derelict opera house—abandoned, forgotten, walls choked in vines. But beneath the flaking columns, two men in black suits stood with biometric scanners.He approached slowly. “Invite,” one barked in Mandarin.Andrew handed over a sealed card embossed with a gold crescent. Inside was a chip and nothing else.They scanned it. No names were exchanged.The door opened with a soft hydraulic hiss, and Andrew stepped into a new world.The auction hall was nothing like he expected.Carved deep into a retrofitted bomb shelter, the chamber resembled a museum merged with a theatre. Velvet seats, polished floors, and glass exhibits under halo lights surrounded the central podium.No one spoke loud enough to be heard.Above it all, a massive chandelier shaped like a spinal cord rotated
Experiment
Rain fell slowly, steady rain drops fell across Shanghai skyline, turning the penthouse windows into a blur of lights and water. Andrew stood frozen in the hallway, his hand still gripping the handle like it might anchor him to something steady. But nothing about him felt steady.He had seen not just her bare skin — the soft curve of her shoulder, the flash of skin above her waistband — but the shock in her eyes. The way her arm moved, instinctively covering herself. “You idiot...Damn it, she is still as sexy as ever" he whispered, pressing a palm to his forehead.He leaned against the wall, chest rising and falling faster than it should’ve."You shouldn’t have walked in. You should’ve knocked, called out—anything." He swallowed hard, running a hand down his face.“I’ve seen it all before,” he murmured, almost in defense of himself. “There’s nothing there I haven’t held. Nothing I haven’t kissed.” It was a weak excuse. But it gave him a thread to hold onto. They’d shared a past—eve
What's Going On?
Andrew jolted upright, gasping. His breath came in short, ragged bursts as he scanned the room—dim morning light filtering through gray curtains, the quiet hum of the air vents, and the soft weight of his coat folded on the chair.He was in his room. “But… how?”His eyes darted around, confused. The last thing he remembered was… the rooftop. Hannah. The conversation. And Taylor—Taylor was tracing the KAIROS list.He staggered out of bed, his bare feet brushing the cold floor, tension rippling through every muscle.Something was off.He murmured, “I don’t remember coming back.”He rubbed the side of his neck, checking for signs. No injection point. No bruising. Just a faint pressure behind his eyes, like something had been pressed into his mind and then hastily pulled back.His gaze landed on the phone lying face-down on the desk.He walked over slowly, picking it up.“What was the last thing I did?” he muttered.“Taylor…” The memory came back in pieces. “We were tracking access to Han
