Chapter: Chapter: 78 Part 5: The Notice That Shattered Her CertaintyHis eyes followed Aurelia as she started toward the corridor. Then, an idea occurred to him.Nahir slowly raised a hand to his chest and tightened his fingers against his shirt; he forced his breathing to become shallow, drawing in one strained breath after another until the color drained from his face.“Agh—!”.Aurelia immediately stopped and spun around.Nahir bent forward, clutching his chest. “My chest...”“Nahir?” Aurelia called out in shock.He struggled to breathe as he leaned heavily against the bed. “I... I can't breathe.”Aurelia rushed back to him, all thoughts of Alexander temporarily pushed aside. “What happened?”Nahir lowered his head and allowed his expression to twist with pain. “Don't worry about me.”“You're in pain!” she said in confusion.“Just... get the doctor.” He forced himself to look at her, making sure she could see the helplessness in his eyes. “And then go after your husband.”Aurelia froze.Even now, she thought, he was encouraging her to repair her marr

Chapter: Chapter: 78 Part 4: The Notice That Shattered Her CertaintyAurelia stared at him, unable to believe what she was hearing. “What?”Nahir lowered his gaze as though he were struggling with the memory.“He was furious. I think...” He paused deliberately, allowing the unfinished thought to settle between them. “I think he couldn't stand hearing it.”The words sounded simple enough, but Nahir knew exactly what he was doing.He did not need to accuse Alexander directly. All he had to do was plant the suggestion in Aurelia's mind and allow her own guilt to fill in the rest.Nahir reached for her hand. “You shouldn't blame yourself.”Aurelia did not pull away, but she did not return the gesture either. “I should have cared for him too.”“Don't torture yourself,” Nahir said, his voice gentle and almost painfully reassuring. “I know what you're thinking.”He gave her hand a soft squeeze. “You didn't know how badly he was injured. You couldn't have known.”Aurelia stared down at their joined hands. “I should have known.”Nahir's expression tightened with

Chapter: Chapter: 78 Part 3: The Notice That Shattered Her CertaintyAurelia slowly opened it. Her eyes moved across the first few lines. Then they stopped. The color drained from her face.She read the words again. Then a third time. They still seemed impossible. (Multiple fractures.)Her fingers began trembling. She continued reading.(Potentially fatal internal injuries.)Aurelia's breathing stopped for a moment. "Multiple fractures..."Her voice was barely audible. She looked at the report again. "Potentially fatal internal injuries?"Nahir's expression changed. "Aurelia..."She did not answer him. Her eyes remained fixed on the medical report as the meaning of the words slowly sank into her mind.Then the memories returned: Alexander lying injured in the stairwell, blood soaking through his clothes. The unnatural paleness of his face.His trembling hands. His voice when he tried to explain. "My injuries are worse."And then her own response came rushing back. "You'll survive."Aurelia's throat tightened. She had believed he was exaggerating. She h

Chapter: Chapter: 78 Part 2: The Notice That Shattered Her CertaintyAurelia's expression gradually changed. "Was that true?"She lowered her gaze. "So he had been pretending to be seriously injured?"The possibility took root in her mind before she could stop it. "Then Nahir was right..".She shook her head. "But why would Alexander do that?"She had no answer.Before she could think any further, a hospital employee approached her. "Mrs. Aurelia?"Aurelia looked up. "Yes?""There are some documents for you." The employee handed her a sealed envelope.Aurelia frowned. "What is this?""I was instructed to deliver it directly to you." The hospital employee handed the envelope to her and walked away.She accepted the envelope. For some reason, it felt heavier than it should have. Aurelia slowly opened it. Her eyes immediately fell on the first page.She stared at the document for several seconds without moving.Then her expression changed. "Divorce acceleration?"Her voice came out barely above a whisper. She read the words again and then again.Her fing

Chapter: Chapter: 78 Part 1: The Notice That Shattered Her CertaintyAurelia spent most of the morning convincing herself that there was nothing to worry about.Alexander had always been like that.No matter how badly a situation seemed to turn against him, he somehow managed to endure it. Even when people looked down on him, even when circumstances treated him unfairly, and even when life seemed determined to crush him, Alexander always found a way to recover.That was why, when she finally learned that he had regained consciousness, the first emotion she felt was relief.Aurelia quietly released the breath she had been holding. "I knew he'd be fine."A faint smile touched her lips. "He always is."That single thought made everything seem less serious. Alexander had been badly injured, but he had survived. At least, that was what Aurelia continued telling herself.If he had regained consciousness and was speaking to people, then surely the danger had already passed.She glanced toward Nahir, who was resting nearby. "I'll go see him," she said.Nahir l

Chapter: Chapter: 77 Part 2: The Divorce That Cannot Be StoppedHis voice gradually became firmer. "Contact the best divorce lawyer in the city."The Crime Boss watched him carefully. "You've made up your mind?"Alexander closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again. "Yes."He looked directly at the Crime Boss. "I want this marriage ended as quickly as the law allows."The lawyer arrived later that afternoon.He carried a black leather briefcase filled with documents, but when he entered the room and saw Alexander lying beneath the hospital sheets with bandages covering his injuries, he hesitated."Mr. Kane, perhaps it would be wiser to wait until you've been discharged. You're in no condition to deal with something as complicated as a divorce."Alexander shook his head. "No. I want to handle it now."The lawyer glanced toward the Crime Boss.The Crime Boss gave him a serious nod. "Prepare everything."The lawyer opened his briefcase and removed several documents. "There are several forms that require your signature. Some of these concern

The Hidden In House Heir
Stephen is invisible — a quiet housekeeper in a ruthless billionaire household where humiliation is part of his daily routine. The five privileged heirs treat him like trash… all except the youngest son, whose small acts of kindness keep Stephen from breaking completely.
But across the city, a dying titan of industry is searching for the son stolen from him decades ago — the only heir to a vast multinational empire worth billions. With time running out, the old billionaire is ready to hand everything to the child he never found.
When Stephen sees the story on the news, something stirs. A forgotten past. A buried secret. A truth that shouldn’t be possible.
Stephen may be the lost heir.
As he digs deeper, the world around him turns deadly. The family that once abused him won’t let their servant rise above them. Powerful executives will kill to protect their control. Betrayed, framed, and cast out, Stephen is forced into a battle he never asked for — one that will decide who controls a global empire.

Chapter: Chapter 49: The Shape of the EnemyThe countdown reached its final minute.00:59.00:58.00:57.Every second felt heavier than the last.The reactor beneath Avalon groaned like a wounded giant. Massive vibrations rolled through the underground facility as structural supports continued failing under impossible pressure. Sparks rained from shattered conduits overhead, casting erratic flashes across the chamber.Yet nobody moved. Nobody looked away because the revelation hanging in the air was more terrifying than the approaching explosion.Subject Omega was not a person.It was a network, a living system hidden inside human civilization. Stephen stared at the fading Core. For several moments, he struggled to process what he had just heard.Then the truth finally settled into place. The infiltrated governments. The hidden corporate networks, the research facilities, and the financial systems.The thousands of invisible nodes are spread across the world. They were not supporting Subject Omega.They were Subject Omega.A ch

Chapter: Chapter 48: The Ghost Who Refused to DieThe reactor countdown continued its merciless descent.01:59.01:58.01:57.The numbers glowed crimson across every surviving monitor inside Avalon, bathing the collapsing facility in an ominous light that made the entire underground complex resemble a dying heart.Yet despite the imminent threat of annihilation, nobody focused on the countdown.Every eye was fixed on Adrian. The old man had gone completely pale. For the first time since Stephen met him, the architect of Avalon looked genuinely shaken, not angry, not calculating, not manipulative, afraid.The expression alone was enough to send a chill through Stephen's body because men like Adrian Crane did not frighten easily.The voice emerging from the speakers seemed to recognize that fact. A soft chuckle echoed through the chamber. “It's fascinating,” the voice said calmly. “After twenty-nine years, you still react the same way.”Stephen watched Adrian carefully. The old man's hands had tightened into fists. His breathing had be

Chapter: Chapter 47: The Second SuccessorThe words lingered in the void long after the Core finished speaking.They created their own host. For several heartbeats, nobody moved.The revelation settled over the fading digital landscape like a storm cloud gathering on the horizon. Around them, vast sections of the Core continued disappearing into darkness. Entire neural pathways collapsed one after another, taking decades of accumulated processing power with them.The intelligence was dying, yet somehow its final discoveries felt far more dangerous than anything it had revealed before.Stephen stared upward. “What do you mean, their own host?”The Core's voice returned, weaker now than at any previous moment. Each sentence sounded as though it required tremendous effort."COMPATIBILITY PROGRAM."A series of fragmented files appeared overhead. Most were corrupted beyond recovery. Others flashed only briefly before vanishing, but enough remained to paint a disturbing picture. Children, dozens of them, perhaps hundreds. Rows of m

Chapter: Chapter 46: The Last Gift of a Dying GodThe revelation shattered whatever certainty remained. Project Obsidian was not hidden beneath a mountain. It was not buried inside a secret facility. It was not waiting somewhere in the shadows. It was already woven into the fabric of civilization itself.The glowing map hanging above the void continued displaying thousands of illuminated points scattered across the planet. Every pulse revealed another connection, another hidden node, another unseen thread extending through governments, corporations, research centers, military networks, and financial systems.Stephen felt his stomach tighten. The scale was almost impossible to comprehend. For years, he had believed Avalon represented the center of the conspiracy. Now he understood the truth.Avalon had only been one player in a much larger game, and perhaps not even the most dangerous one. The reactor countdown continued relentlessly.03:57.03:56.03:55.The Core's immense structure dimmed further.Entire sections of its consciousnes

Chapter: Chapter 45: The Shadow Beyond the CoreThe revelation struck the void like a thunderclap. There is another system. For several seconds, nobody spoke.The reactor countdown continued ticking downward somewhere beyond the digital horizon, but even that imminent catastrophe seemed distant compared to the implications of what the Core had just revealed.Stephen stared upward at the fading neural structure. “What do you mean, another system?”The Core's immense consciousness pulsed unevenly.Large portions of its network were already shutting down as it prepared for self-termination. Entire clusters of glowing pathways vanished every few moments, disappearing into darkness forever.Yet despite its rapidly diminishing existence, the Core sounded more focused than ever."UNAUTHORIZED ARCHITECTURE DETECTED DURING FINAL NETWORK ANALYSIS."Daniel’s face tightened immediately. “That’s impossible.”Adrian looked equally shaken. “No,” he said quietly. “It isn't.”Everyone turned toward him.

Chapter: Chapter 44: The Price of TomorrowThe realization hit Stephen with devastating force. The Core had finally chosen peace.After decades of manipulation, obsession, and fear, the vast intelligence spanning continents had concluded its creator never could. It had learned how to let go.But Avalon was still dying. The reactor countdown continued relentlessly.07:58.07:57.07:56.Each passing second felt like a hammer striking against Stephen's chest.The endless void around him had changed completely. The oppressive darkness was gone. The threatening constructs had dissolved into drifting streams of light. The archived consciousnesses stood quietly around him, their forms brighter and more stable than before.For the first time, they looked at peace, yet none of that mattered if Amelia and the others died beneath Avalon.Stephen turned sharply toward the Core. "There has to be another way."The immense neural structure pulsed softly overhead. Its voice no longer sounded cold or mechanical. Instead, it carried a strange g
