Chapter 140 Camilla stared at the figure that had stepped out of the core. She couldn't see its face clearly because a bright white light surrounded it, but she could feel something inside her reacting to its presence. She growled, not in fear, but in recognition. “Camilla,” Dominic whispered. She didn't answer. The figure took another step forward the light slowly faded. Camilla's breath caught it was a man. Tall, dressed in black, with dark hair and a familiar silver ring on his finger. Camilla looked at the man standing beside her mother. Then back at the stranger, they had the same eyes. The same face, the same ring her mother covered her mouth. “No…” The stranger looked at her. “You kept her hidden for twenty-two years.” Her mother shook her head. “I was protecting her.” “You were protecting yourself.” Camilla looked between them. “Who is he?” Nobody answered. The stranger finally looked at her. “You don't remember me.” Camilla's heart began pounding. “Should

Chapter 142Camilla's eyes snapped open, she was standing in complete darkness.She couldn't see Dominic. She couldn't see Sophia. She couldn't even see her own hands.“Dominic?” No answer.“Mom?” still nothing.Camilla's heart began pounding, then she heard footsteps behind her.She turned around and still nothing.“Who's there?”A soft laugh echoed through the darkness.“You're still afraid of the dark.”Camilla froze, she knew that voice. It was her own.“Show yourself.”A figure slowly appeared in front of her.It was the woman from the chair, but she wasn't old anymore.She looked exactly like Camilla.She smiled.“You finally came back.”Camilla stared at her.“Who are you?”The woman stepped closer.“I already told you.”“You're not Aurelia.”The woman smiled.“No.”She touched Camilla's cheek.“I am the part of Aurelia they couldn't destroy.”Camilla stepped back.“What does that mean?”“It means you're looking at the person you were before they changed you.”Camilla shook her

Chapter 144Camilla's eyes widened as the red light beneath the cradle grew brighter.“What experiment?”Aurelia didn't answer, she was staring at the cradle as though she had seen it before.Dominic continued trying to force the door open.“Camilla, step away from it.”She didn't move, something about the cradle was pulling her closer.“Why do I feel like I've seen this before?”Aurelia's voice was quiet.“Because you have.”Camilla looked at her.“When?”“Before you forgot.”The voice from the speakers returned.“Subject Aurelia and Subject Camilla. Final synchronization will begin in thirty seconds.”Dominic stopped struggling with the door.“Synchronization?”Aurelia's expression changed.“They're trying to merge us.”Camilla's heart dropped.“Why?”“Because neither of us is complete.”The voice continued.“Twenty-five seconds.”Camilla shook her head.“No.”Aurelia stepped toward her.“Listen to me. You cannot let them finish.”“How do we stop it?”“You have to remember everythin

Chapter 146Aurelia sat silently in the passenger seat, watching the city disappear behind them.Kieran drove without saying a word.For several minutes, the only sound inside the car was the engine.Finally, Aurelia broke the silence.“Where is my sister?”Kieran kept his eyes on the road.“Safe.”“You said she had ten minutes.”“She does.”“To do what?”Kieran glanced at her.“To decide whether she wants to live.”Aurelia's expression hardened.“Don't play games with me.”“I'm not.”“Then tell me where she is.”Kieran remained silent. Aurelia reached for the door handle.“If you don't tell me, I'll get out.”“You won't.”She looked at him.“Try me.”Kieran suddenly stopped the car. Aurelia looked ahead.They were on an empty road surrounded by trees.Kieran turned toward her.“Your sister is in the old Blackcrest residence.”“Blackthorn?”He nodded.“She was taken there an hour ago.”“By who?”“Kieran.”She stared at him.“You're Kieran.”“Yes.”“Then who took her?”He looked away.

Chapter 148Aurelia couldn't move the voice from the basement had been small, almost innocent, but she knew it.It was her voice, it wasn't similar it's exactly hers.Camilla tightened her grip around Aurelia's hand. "Don't answer her."Aurelia swallowed. "Why?""Because that's what she wants."Their father watched them from the staircase, his expression almost amused.Kieran kept his gun pointed at him.
