Sophie's POV The human genome was never just a scientific puzzle—it was a living, breathing canvas of infinite possibilities. Standing in the most advanced research wing of the Chen Foundation, I understood that my neural regeneration technology represented more than a medical breakthrough. It was a quantum bridge between human potential and scientific imagination. My relationship with Ethan Blake complicated everything. Where most saw a romantic entanglement, we saw a strategic partnership that transcended traditional boundaries. His background in quantum computing complemented my neurological research in ways that defied conventional scientific collaboration. "The latest test results are extraordinary," Ethan murmured, his fingers dancing across holographic interfaces that seemed to breathe with living data. "The neural regeneration protocols are showing unprecedented stability in long-term cognitive reconstruction." The research facility felt like a living organism. Advanced mo
Clara's POVThe elevator doors opened to the 50th floor of Reid Enterprises, and I smoothed down my cream silk blouse, clutching the handmade bento box closer. Three years of marriage, and my heart still skipped whenever I was about to see Alexander. The thought made me smile despite myself."You're such a fool, Clara," I whispered to myself, though my lips curved into a hopeful smile.The executive floor was oddly quiet today. Jessica's desk—my best friend and Alexander's secretary—sat empty. Strange. She was always here, ready with a warm hug and friendly gossip about the office drama. In three years, I'd never seen her station unmanned during business hours.My Louboutin heels clicked against the marble floor as I made my way down the corridor. The sound echoed in the unusually silent space, making me feel like an intruder rather than the CEO's wife.As I approached Alexander's office, voices drifted through the heavy mahogany door. I reached for the handle, then froze at Henderson
