Chapter 675
Chance shook his head slowly. "No. They don't know yet. I've been carrying this alone." His voice was barely audible, heavy with regret.Wilfreda turned in her seat, her golden eyes fixed on Chance with a tenderness that made his chest ache. "Did you have any plans to tell them? Or were you going to keep carrying this alone forever?"Chance was quiet for a long moment, the weight of her question pressing down on him like a physical force. "I was going to tell them. I just... I didn't know when. I didn't know how." His voice cracked. "I was scared of how they would react. Of how it would change everything."Wilfreda's voice was gentle but firm, a steady hand in the darkness. "Then we tell them when we get back to the estate. Together. All three of us. They deserve to know the truth, Chance. And you deserve to stop carrying this weight alone."Chance glanced at Christopher in the rearview mirror. His brother's face was still guarded, but there was a flicker of something else in his eyes
Chapter 674
Chance and Christopher exchanged a glance—still raw, still wounded, but no longer at each other's throats. They had been played. Anaconda had used their pain as a weapon, and they had nearly fallen for it.Before either of them could speak, Anaconda moved. His men grabbed Vinita and her mother, dragging them toward the shadows. Vinita screamed, her voice desperate, her eyes wide with terror. "Chance! Please! Don't let them take me!"Chance's heart lurched. He lunged forward, his body moving before his mind could catch up, but Anaconda's men formed a wall, their weapons raised, their faces cold and unyielding. Anaconda stood at the edge of the darkness, his voice cold and triumphant, echoing through the warehouse like a death knell."You see, O'Connors? Your family has been divided for too long. But I can bring you together—just not in the way you'd hoped." He gestured to Vinita and her mother, now held firmly in his grasp, their faces pale with fear. "If you want to see them alive aga

The warehouse doors groaned as Chance, Christopher, and Wilfreda stepped inside, their footsteps echoing against the cold concrete floor. The dim light cast long shadows, revealing Vinita on her knees, her mother held captive by two of Anaconda's men. And in the center of it all stood Anaconda, his masked face tilted with amusement.Chance's voice was steady, cutting through the tension. "Let them go."Anaconda let out a low chuckle, his voice dripping with mockery. "Always the tough one, aren't you? Chance O'Connor, the magnificent." He turned his gaze to Christopher, then Wilfreda, his tone almost reverent. "And Christopher, the lost son. Wilfreda, the keeper of secrets. The three O'Connor descendants, finally together. How... poetic."Christopher's jaw tightened. "Where is the flash drive?"Anaconda waved a dismissive hand. "Oh, that? Secondary. Let's start with what's truly important."Wilfreda stepped forward, her golden eyes blazing. "What do you mean?"Anaconda's smile widened

Chance was already on his feet, his mind racing. "Vinita. It has to be her. She was lingering near the library earlier. She must have heard everything."Wilfreda's face was pale, her voice trembling. "She took it. She's going to hand it over to Anaconda."Chance grabbed his coat, his movements swift and urgent. "We need to stop her. Now."The three of them moved through the estate, their footsteps urgent. Christopher checked the guest room—empty. The bed was made, the coat gone, the photograph of her mother no longer on the nightstand."She's already gone," Christopher said, his voice flat.Wilfreda's hands clenched into fists. "She wants to give it to Anaconda. That's the only reason she would take it."Chance sighed, his voice heavy with certainty. "She wants to save her mother. She thinks this is the only way.""We can't let that happen," Wilfreda replied, her voice sharp. "If Anaconda gets that drive, he'll have everything he needs to find the Codex."Chance pulled out his phone a

The video continued, Helsin's voice growing more serious as she explained the true nature of the Codex."The Codex is not just a device, Wilfreda. It is a key—a key that can unlock the very fabric of our reality. It has the power to manipulate time, space, and matter. In the right hands, it could heal wounds that have never healed, restore what has been lost, and protect humanity from the shadows that threaten to consume us."She paused, her eyes filled with a deep, haunting sadness. "But in the wrong hands, it could destroy everything. It could unmake the world as we know it. That is why I hid it. That is why I could never tell you the truth."Wilfreda's hands trembled as she watched her mother's face, the weight of her words pressing down on her.Wilfreda, Chance, and Christopher studied the schematics spread across the table. The blueprints were intricate, filled with symbols and equations they could barely decipher. But one thing was clear—the Codex was incomplete.Chance pointed

The old house where Helsin and Wilfreda had once lived in was still the same as it had never been abandoned at all. Wilfreda stood at the front gate, her hand resting on the rusted iron, her eyes fixed on the building that held so many memories—some warm, some painful.Chance stood beside her, his voice quiet. "Are you sure you want to do this?"Wilfreda nodded slowly. "If my mother hid the Codex anywhere, it would be here. She trusted this place. She trusted its secrets."Christopher stepped forward, his gaze sweeping the house. "Then let's not waste time. We don't know how much of it we have."They made their way inside, the floorboards creaking beneath their feet. Dust motes danced in the thin shafts of light filtering through the grimy windows. The house smelled of age and memory.Wilfreda led them to the basement, her steps sure despite the months that had passed. She pulled open the heavy door and descended the narrow stairs, Chance and Christopher following close behind.The ba
