Chapter 46- the woman that refuses to break
Valeria entered VIREX headquarters with her heart in her throat and her fists clenched so tight her nails dug into her palm. Two black-suited guards stood at the glass doors—silent, statuesque. She expected resistance, a challenge, even a gun in her face. But nothing came.They parted like curtains, eyes blank, and stepped aside.She slowed down, uncertain, glancing at one of them. He didn’t blink.They were told not to stop her.Her stomach twisted. The sweat underneath her silk blouse clung to her back. It wasn’t from the heat. It was fear. This wasn’t part of any plan. And she was doing it behind Elijah’s back.He’ll be furious.The moment spun in her mind like a reel: Elijah lying on the stretcher, shirt bloodied, face pale. The paramedics moved with urgency, trying to get a drip into his arm as they yelled instructions over each other. One of them had looked her in the eye and said, "If we came a minute later, the smoke would’ve shut down his system completely."Alec.He wa

Valeria slammed her shoulder into the metallic door for the twelfth time, her breath ragged, arms trembling with exhaustion. “Faster, Anna! Push harder—he’s in there!” she shouted, voice cracking with a mix of desperation and fury. Anna didn’t answer. She was beyond words, sweat dripping from her forehead as she swung a rusted pipe again and again against the welded seam. Every impact echoed through the corridor like a scream, but the damn door held tight, mocking their efforts. Clang! Clang! Clang! Valeria fell to her knees, chest heaving. “We’re not going to make it,” she whispered, but as she looked up—her eyes widened. Smoke. A thin trail of black smoke curled from the upper edges of the door m. Her heart jolted. “He’s alive. He’s trying to signal us—Anna, he’s right there!” That lit a fire under Anna. She gritted her teeth and raised the pipe again with a roar that didn’t sound like her at all—pure rage, pure fear. BANG! The metal groaned. Just barely. “A
Chapter 44-The truth
The gate groaned shut behind him. The armed guards didn’t follow. They didn’t need to. Inside the Glass House, there was no running, no escape. Only truth — and whatever pain came with it. Elijah stepped across the floor of the hall, The chandelier overhead sparkled. He knew the house. He remembered every inch. Every lie. He climbed the stairs two at a time.The guards had already radioed ahead. He wasn’t stopped. At the end of the hallway, two oak doors stood, slightly ajar. He didn’t knock. He burst in. And there he was. Joshua Quinn. Sitting behind a massive desk, his black robe falling from his shoulders. Eyes cold. Calm. As if he’d been waiting. “Elijah,” he said with a small smile. “You’ve finally arrived.” Elijah didn’t answer. Didn’t speak. He crossed the room in three strides and grabbed his father by the collar, dragging him from the chair like a bag of bones. Joshua didn’t resist. He merely raised an eyebrow, still smiling. “There it is,” he
