BEYOND BETRAYAL-THE REVENGE OF THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS Chapter 99
Miguel POVThe heart monitor’s rhythm had stabilized, but the tension in the OR was heavier than ever.I stood frozen against the glass, my palms pressed flat, watching Diego’s still body beneath the bright surgical lights. Dr. Chen’s voice cut through the quiet hum of machines.“Electrical interference detected along the neural interface. Vitals unstable. We need to contain it—now.”The dual heartbeat continued flickering on the screen, chaotic and unnatural.Dr. Kumar, the anesthesiologist, spoke rapidly. “BP dropping—systolic down to 80. He’s losing ground fast.”Dr. Chen’s hands were steady, precise. “Scalpel. I’m isolating the main lead. Dr. Martinez, be ready to assist with micro-suction once I expose the implant.”The air felt thick, every movement calculated. A surgical nurse handed over the scalpel with practiced calm.Miguel’s father broke the silence behind me, his voice low but strained.“If they can’t control the implant’s electrical feedback, it could trigger full neural

Miguel POVThe heart monitor's steady beeping echoed in the sterile quiet of the OR.Dr. Chen’s brow was furrowed, her gloved hands hovering above Diego's skull. His vitals had stabilized, but the unnatural dual heartbeat still flickered on the screen.“Something’s still wrong,” she said, her voice calm but tense. “That second implant—it's not fully deactivated. There’s a residual charge coming from the nerve bundle.”Dr. Kumar adjusted the sedation levels. “BP holding steady... but the electrical interference is active again. We have a window, but it’s closing.”Chen nodded. “We need a controlled electromagnetic pulse—targeted. Prep the micro-coil generator.”The surgical nurse handed over the small, cylindrical device.I watched, frozen on the other side of the glass, every muscle locked in place.Dr. Chen glanced up at the gallery.“This procedure is experimental,” she warned. “If the EMP disrupts the wrong cluster—”Miguel's father interrupted; his voice low but steady. “Do it. I’

Miguel POVThe steady beeping of the heart monitor was almost soothing now, a reminder that Diego was alive. Breathing. Stable.I was slouched in the uncomfortable hospital chair, my head resting against the cold steel bar. Sleep hadn’t come easily, but exhaustion had finally forced me under.The sound of a door clicking open stirred me awake.Isabel entered, holding two cups of coffee, her eyes tired but alert.“You look terrible,” she whispered, setting one cup on the tray beside me.I sat up, my back stiff. “Yeah, well... so do you.”Her lips curled in the faintest smile before she turned toward Diego.He was awake. Barely. His eyelids fluttered, lips parting as he tried to speak.I shot up, my pulse racing. “Diego? Hey—are you with me?”His head tilted slightly toward the sound of my voice. His pale skin seemed even more fragile under the harsh hospital lighting, but his breathing was steady.“Water,” he rasped, voice hoarse.Isabel grabbed the cup, holding it gently to his lips.

Miguel’s POVThe emergency lights cast pale shadows across the walls. Flickering. Uneven. Unsettling.I stood at the window, breath fogging the glass as I stared into the darkness beyond the security gate. The street was still—too still. A strange tension clung to the air like something was waiting to happen.The security feed on the wall glitched, static distorting the view.I saw movement. A figure."There was someone," I said, voice low as I leaned closer. "Just beyond the gate."Isabel was already at my side, her voice tight. "Who? Can you make them out?"My eyes narrowed, tracking the blurred shape. "They're walking away now. Too dark to make out details."Her next question made my stomach twist."Do you think... it could be Gideon?"I shook my head immediately. "No. He wouldn’t be that obvious. He knows this place is a fortress. If he’s watching us, he’d send someone else."Isabel’s face darkened. "You’re saying someone’s keeping tabs on us?""Exactly," I muttered, jaw tightenin

Miguel’s POV The beeping from Diego’s monitor shifted—rapid, stuttering, wrong. My pulse hammered to match it.I leaned over him, pressing two fingers against his neck. His pulse has increased, erratic and skipping in uneven bursts."His pulse is off," I said, voice tight with panic. "It's—it's like skipping beats. Something's not right." I said again as I looked at him unsure of what the next line of action would be.“I will make a call to Dr. Chen because I don’t think I know anything of this and to avoid losing Diego” she said her voice shaking and her expression very pale.Isabel was already dialing her phone with trembling hands.“Dr. Chen,” she whispered, her voice barely controlled. “It’s Diego—something’s happening! Please, we need help!”"Put me on speaker," Dr. Chen’s voice snapped through the line, calm but commanding. "Tell me everything you see. Now.” She said her tone commanding and calm."His pulse is irregular," I repeated, swallowing hard. “His breathing’s shallow. E

Miguel's POV The emergency backup generator kicked in with a low hum, casting a pale, flickering light across the room. Shadows danced against the walls as the power struggled to stabilize. The lights kept dimming every few seconds.The beeping of Diego’s monitor slowed but remained unsettling. His breathing was shallow. Too shallow.Marissa had the phone pressed to her ear, her hands trembling as she redialed Dr. Andrew.“Call him back. Now,” I snapped, voice harsher than intended. My knuckles were white as I gripped the back of a chair, the adrenaline burning through me.The line clicked. Then a voice—calm, measured."Marissa. You hung up too quickly last time."I snatched the phone from her hands, holding it close to my ear.“How do you know about Diego?” I demanded, my voice sharp.Dr. Andrew on the other end of the call chuckled softly. "Ah, the protective brother. Always so intense. I assumed you'd be the one calling me sooner." He said.“Answer the question.” I snapped my voic

Miguel's POV The headlights caught her face fully now, and there was no mistaking it.Our mother.Her face was pale, lined with the kind of exhaustion that only comes from years of pain, yet her eyes held that same piercing intensity I remembered as a child.Fifteen years. Fifteen years without a word. Without an explanation.I pushed open the car door. Cold air hit me, but my chest burned hotter than ever."Stay in the car," Dad ordered, his voice taut with authority."Like hell I will." I stepped out, heart pounding. "Fifteen years. And you think showing up now—like this—is enough?"She took a step forward. "Miguel, please. There's so much you don't—"I cut her off, my voice trembling. "Then explain it. No more riddles. No more secrets. Why now?"Behind me, Isabel’s voice cut through the tension."Miguel! Diego’s pulse is dropping again! We don’t have time for this!"Our mother’s face twisted with urgency."Let me help him. Please."I stepped back, blocking her approach."No. You

Miguel's POVThe security feeds flickered, showing Gideon's men closing in from multiple directions. Dr. Andrew stayed unnervingly calm, pressing a button under his desk. A voice echoed through the hidden intercom:"Protocol Sierra. All units mobilize."The response was swift. Armed security teams emerged from concealed positions throughout the facility, moving with professional precision. Andrew's eyes flicked to me, satisfaction clear in his voice."Did you think I wouldn't be ready for this? After what they did to my career? To my patients?"The sound of gunfire erupted beyond the walls. Maria remained at Diego's side, her hands trembling against his heads as the memory transfer progressed.60%... 63%...Diego's breathing turned shallow, the monitors reflecting his declining vitals. Maria's face paled, panic tightening her voice."Something's wrong," she whispered. "The neural pathways—they're degrading faster than I can stabilize them."Andrew's composure cracked as he examined th

"Feeding off what?" Caleb asked, his rifle sweeping the area.Before Finn could answer, a low growl echoed through the village. The team froze, their weapons trained on the source of the sound. From the shadows emerged creatures unlike any they had faced before. Their forms were barely humanoid, their bodies composed of writhing tendrils and jagged shards of obsidian. Their glowing eyes burned with malice."Contact!" Ruby shouted, firing the first shot.The creatures attacked with terrifying speed, their movements unnatural and erratic. Caleb fired at the nearest one, his bullets shattering its obsidian exterior but failing to slow it down. Selene charged forward, her blade glowing as it sliced through a tendril that lashed out at her."Aim for the cores!" Finn yelled, his device beeping wildly. "The glowing spots in their chests!"Ruby adjusted her aim, firing at a creature's core. The shot landed true, and the creature let out a guttural scream before collapsing into a pile of ash a

breath felt empty like the air was too thick to breathe. ''I'll feel better if I sleep, I told myself.Ghb yuu yuu y7u rrd tre oil uiuBut immediately as I was about drifting into sleep, I heard a sound that made me jump right up from bed.Asher's ears sparked in defense, his growl filling the whole room. The sound alone sent a chill running through my spine, but I couldn't look away from the window. There was a shadow outside that seemed to shift, stretching and bending unnaturally than they should have.I stood in fear, not being able to feel my legs which felt heavy. All I could hear was the sound of my heartbeat which kept on thundering in my chest. A loud bang at the door made me jump from my bed. I gasped out of shock, crawling on my knees in order to peep through the door. before I could even make it, the door burst open with enough force to slam against the wall. Two figures stood in the doorway, covered in dark shadows.GyyTheir eyes were glowing with yellow, a sight that

"Another kilometer," Finn replied, adjusting the scanner. "But the energy is… erratic. It's like the cluster is unstable, but it's pulling resources from somewhere."Ruby nodded, her grip tightening on her rifle. "Stay alert. The Shadow never makes things easy." The whole team were on high alert as they lifted their weapons higher ready to attack at the slightest movement The cluster appeared suddenly, nestled within a narrow gorge. Tendrils of dark energy snaked along the ground, pulsating faintly. At its center was a twisted structure, a crude spire of shadow and stone that seemed to breathe with unnatural life."Looks like a smaller version of the core," Finn murmured. "But it's… fractured. If we can destabilize it, the whole thing should collapse."Ruby surveyed the area. "Let's make it happen. You handle the spire. I'll cover you."As Finn approached the structure, the ground trembled. Creatures emerged from the shadows, their forms misshapen but vicious. Ruby fired a quick burs

Finn's scanner beeped intermittently, struggling to maintain accuracy. "The interference is worse than I expected," he admitted, frowning at the flickering display. "We're flying blind out here."Selene's eyes scanned the horizon. "Then we rely on instincts. This isn't the first time we've worked without a map."Zoe smirked faintly. "She's right. Besides, if anything jumps out, I'll just cut it down."Ruby kept her rifle at the ready, her voice cutting through the tension. "Stay sharp. Whatever's waiting for us, it knows we're coming."The signal led them to an ancient ruin, partially buried beneath layers of shadow-infused earth. The structure was unlike anything they'd encountered before—crumbling stone walls laced with veins of pulsing dark energy. Tendrils of shadow coiled and twisted through the air, moving as if alive.Finn's eyes widened as he studied the ruin. "This place… it's amplifying the signal. The core's energy is dormant but concentrated here. If we can disable it, we'

Ruby led the way, her voice cutting through the chaos. "Stay together! Keep moving!"A massive tendril slammed into the path ahead, cutting them off. Selene darted forward, her blade slicing through the tendril in a single, decisive strike. "Go! I've got this!"The team pushed forward, the exit coming into view just as the chamber let out a deafening roar. They burst into the open air, the ground beneath them trembling as the chamber collapsed entirely.Finn stumbled to his knees, his scanner clutched tightly in his hands. He stared at the screen, his face pale. "The energy… it's… it's heading somewhere else."Ruby turned to him, her expression grim. "Where?"Finn looked up, his voice shaking. "I don't know. But whatever it is, it's not good."The team's breaths came in heavy gasps as they stared out over the Wastes. The Shadow's remnants weren't just lingering. They were regrouping, gathering strength for something far worse.Ruby's grip tightened on her rifle. "We'll stop it. Whatev

The mechanical voice over the intercom had been haunting in its finality: "Containment protocol initiated. No one leaves."I bolted from the server room with my laptop clutched to my chest, my mind racing. Somewhere in these files was a way out, a weakness in the system I'd unwittingly helped build."Miguel!" I called, spotting him barricading the main corridor. His eyes snapped to me."What did you find?" he demanded, not pausing in his task of positioning wreckages for cover."More data on the project—but it's a mess. They've buried the important files under layers of encryption.""Then unbury them," he snapped. "We're running out of time!"I didn't argue. My hands shook as I knelt beside him, setting up my laptop on a nearby crate. The battle outside raged, but my focus was on the scre

The air in the resistance base buzzed with an energy that was equal parts anticipation and dread. Though Ruby and her team had delivered a crippling blow to the Shadow, the cracks in the landscape, the faint echoes of corruption still lingering in the Wastes, spoke to a danger far from eradicated. The Shadow's remnants were more than just scars; they were seeds, threatening to sprout into new horrors if left unchecked.Ruby stood in the command center, leaning over a table strewn with maps and tactical reports. The dim light overhead cast sharp shadows across her face. Evelyn's voice was sharp as ever as she discussed deployments with the council."We've dispatched scouts to all regions marked by Finn's residual energy readings," Evelyn said, her fingers tracing the map. "But reports from the south are troubling. A village near the Wastes border… it's gone dark. No communication. No survivors seen leaving."Finn adjusted his device, the holographic map flickering to life above the tab
