WHY ME Chapter 110
**The Next Threat**One Week Later – Istanbul SafehouseThe dim glow of the holographic screen cast shifting blue light across Ayesha’s face.She sat motionless, staring at the anonymous message that had just appeared.“Revenant was never the only one.”Her mind raced.The past few days had been a blur—debriefings, cleanup operations, erasing traces of Revenant’s existence.She had believed it was over.She had wanted it to be over.And yet, deep down?She had known better.Adrian’s voice pulled her back.“You’re reading that message for the fifth time.”Ayesha exhaled, turning to him. “Because it doesn’t make sense.”Leena, sitting cross-legged on the couch, raised an eyebrow. “It makes perfect sense. There’s always another mess.”Ravi, tapping away at his tablet, added, “Who even sent it? No traceable IP, no signature.”Ayesha’s fingers drummed against the table.“It’s a warning.”Zayn, who had been silent this whole time, finally spoke.“No. It’s an invitation.”The room fell silen

**The Hunt for Safiya Shah**En Route to Paris – 24 Hours LaterThe private jet hummed softly as it cut through the night sky, heading toward Paris—the last known location of Safiya Shah.Ayesha hadn’t slept.She sat near the window, staring at the swirling clouds below, her mind spinning.Her mother was alive.Or at least, that’s what Kade wanted her to believe.The idea felt impossible.Safiya Shah had died when Ayesha was eight years old. She remembered the funeral, remembered the way her father had shut down completely.And yet…Project Phantom.A name that existed before Revenant.A name tied to her mother.Ayesha clenched her fists.If this was true, then everything she had known—**everything she had fought for—**had been built on a lie.The Team’s DivisionLeena dropped into the seat across from Ayesha. “You should get some sleep.”Ayesha didn’t look away from the window. “Can’t.”Leena sighed. “Because of him?”Ayesha finally turned, glancing toward the back of the jet.Kade.

**The Truth About Safiya Shah**Paris Safehouse – 12 Hours After the EscapeAyesha sat in the dimly lit room, the echoes of her mother’s voice still haunting her.“Run while you can, my daughter.”She clenched her fists.For years, she had accepted Safiya Shah’s death as fact.Now?She didn’t know what to believe.Leena, pacing near the window, muttered, “So, just to recap—your dead mother is alive, part of a secret organization, and instead of helping us, she let us almost get captured or killed.”Adrian sighed, sipping his coffee. “Yeah, that about sums it up.”Zayn leaned forward, his elbows on his knees. His voice was tight.“She wasn’t running, Ayesha.” He met her gaze. “She was leading them.”Silence.Ayesha’s chest tightened.She knew.Deep down, she had already known.Her mother hadn’t been a prisoner.She had been a part of it.And now?Ayesha needed to find out why.The Hidden MessagePriya’s voice crackled through the comms.“Okay, guys. I went through the footage from the

** The Mother’s Betrayal**Vatican Vault – The Hollow Order’s TrapThe doors slammed shut.Alarms blared, their shrill wail bouncing off the ancient stone walls.Ayesha’s breath hitched.She barely heard the sounds around her—her team shifting into defensive positions, Adrian cursing, Zayn pulling his gun.Because her mother—Safiya Shah—was right in front of her.Alive.Not a ghost.Not a memory.And she didn’t look surprised to see them.She looked calm.Like she had been waiting.Ayesha stepped forward, her voice sharp.“What did you do?”Safiya sighed, her eyes flickering to the vault’s heavy doors now locking them inside.“I told you not to come, Ayesha.”Ayesha’s stomach tightened.Because her mother’s voice wasn’t shaking.It wasn’t desperate.It was cold.Leena whispered, “I don’t like this.”Adrian’s gun clicked. “Neither do I.”But Ayesha wasn’t looking at them.She was staring at Safiya.Because there was something else.Something off.Then she saw it—The mark on her mother

** The Hollow Truth**Vatican City – The Hidden PathAyesha walked silently beside her mother, her heart pounding like a war drum.The Hollow Order operatives flanked them, their presence heavy and suffocating.Adrian, Zayn, and the rest of her team had been left behind in the vault.It was the first time in years Ayesha had felt alone.And yet—She wasn’t.Her mother was beside her.Alive. Breathing.And leading her deeper into the heart of the enemy.A Mother’s SecretsThe underground corridor beneath the Vatican was unlike anything Ayesha had ever seen.Ancient walls lined with forgotten manuscripts, maps, and coded messages carved into stone.Safiya walked ahead, her movements sure and controlled, like she had lived here for years.Ayesha clenched her fists.“Where are we going?”Safiya didn’t slow down.“To the truth.”Ayesha’s voice was sharp.“The truth about what?”Safiya paused.Then she turned, her gaze locking onto Ayesha’s.“About who you really are.”Ayesha’s stomach tigh

**The Fugitive’s Run**Vatican Underground – The Escape BeginsAyesha’s feet pounded against the cold stone floor as she ran.She didn’t look back.Didn’t let herself process the truth she had just uncovered.Didn’t let herself question who she really was.She just ran.The alarms wailed, red lights flashing along the corridor walls.The Hollow Order’s forces were mobilizing fast.Zayn’s voice screamed in her earpiece.“Where the hell are you?!”Ayesha dodged around a corner, gripping her pistol. “Running for my life, thanks for asking.”Adrian’s voice cut in. “Do you have an exit?”Ayesha’s heart pounded. “No.”Leena cursed. “We need to get to her before they do.”Priya’s voice was urgent. “I’m tapping into the security feed. Go left!”Ayesha didn’t hesitate.She sprinted down another corridor, her breath ragged.Then?The gunfire started.HuntedBullets ripped through the air as The Hollow Order’s operatives closed in.Ayesha threw herself behind a marble column, ducking just in tim

**The Fugitive’s Reckoning**Rome – Safehouse, 3 Hours After EscapeAyesha sat on the edge of the battered couch, her wet clothes clinging to her skin, her pulse still racing.The room was dimly lit, the air thick with tension.Zayn stood near the door, his arms crossed, his expression unreadable.Adrian paced near the window, checking his gun for the third time.Leena sat on the counter, absently spinning a knife between her fingers, while Priya scrolled furiously through hacked security feeds.No one spoke.Because no one knew what to say.Finally, Zayn broke the silence.“Tell us what happened.”Ayesha exhaled, her mind spinning.She looked up at them.And then she said the words that changed everything.“I was never supposed to exist.”The Truth About Project AzraelLeena’s knife stopped spinning.Adrian narrowed his eyes. “What?”Ayesha clenched her fists.“Project Azrael… it’s me.”Zayn stiffened.Leena’s face paled. “You’re saying they… made you?”Ayesha nodded.She inhaled sha

**The Storm Before the War**Somewhere Over the Mediterranean – En Route to the Hollow Order’s IslandThe hum of the aircraft was the only sound in the darkened cabin. The tension in the air was thick, heavier than the weight of the weapons strapped to their bodies.Ayesha sat in the front row, staring at the illuminated map of the island glowing on Priya’s tablet.They were less than an hour away.Less than an hour from facing Safiya.From ending this war.Adrian sat beside her, methodically checking his rifle for the tenth time."You’re too quiet," he finally said.Ayesha didn’t look up. "I’m focused."Adrian raised an eyebrow. "Focused or scared?"She shot him a look.Adrian smirked. "Just checking. You know, in case you planned on having a dramatic breakdown before we storm an evil organization’s headquarters."Leena, sharpening her knife, muttered, "I think this is her dramatic breakdown."Ayesha sighed. "I’m fine."Leena glanced at her. "You sure? Because this whole ‘I was genet

** A Love on the Brink**Ayesha barely had time to steady her breath before Adrian rested his forehead against hers. His hands lingered on her waist, his touch warm despite the cold night air.“This doesn’t change anything,” she whispered, though her voice lacked conviction.Adrian let out a low chuckle, his fingers tracing slow circles against her back. “You keep saying that, but I don’t believe you.”She pulled away, creating space between them. Space she desperately needed. “We can’t afford distractions right now.”Adrian’s expression darkened, the light teasing in his gaze replaced by something far more serious. “Ayesha, look around you. This war isn’t waiting for us to figure things out. We either take what little we can, or we lose everything.”She clenched her jaw, unwilling to admit how much his words rang true. She had spent her entire life choosing the fight over herself. Choosing survival over emotions.And now?Now, Adrian was forcing her to see a future she wasn’t sure sh

** A Love Caught in the Crossfire**The world outside was chaos. The remnants of battle still echoed in Ayesha’s mind—gunfire, betrayals, and the impossible return of her sister, Reva.But inside this dimly lit hideout, everything was still.For the first time in what felt like years, Ayesha wasn’t running.Wasn’t fighting.Wasn’t plotting her next move.She was just… here.With him.Zayn sat across the small, makeshift living room, wrapping his wounded arm in fresh bandages. His usually sharp, calculating eyes were softer than usual, flickering with something Ayesha hadn’t seen before.Something she wasn’t sure how to name.She swallowed. "Let me help."Zayn looked up, smirking slightly. "You? Helping? That’s new."Ayesha rolled her eyes but moved closer anyway, grabbing the bandage from his hand. He didn’t resist.She worked in silence, gently wrapping the fabric around his arm, aware of how close they were.The tension was different this time. Not from battle. Not from fear.But fr

**Whispers of the Heart**A Moment of StillnessThe night was quiet, save for the rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the shore. Ayesha stood near the balcony of their temporary hideout, overlooking the moonlit ocean. The past few days had been nothing short of chaos—escaping from the Genesis Facility, discovering the horrifying truth about Kier’s plans, and confronting the sister she thought had died.But now, for the first time in what felt like forever, she had a moment of stillness.A warm breeze swept through the open doors, ruffling the thin fabric of her shirt. Despite everything, the air smelled clean here—untouched by war, by blood, by betrayal.She should be thinking about their next move. About how to stop Kier before The Final Protocol took effect.But instead…Her mind kept circling back to him.Ayesha let out a slow breath, glancing over her shoulder.Zayn.He stood a few feet away, leaning against the wooden railing, watching her in that quiet, unreadable way he al

** Hearts Collide**The night was electric with anticipation, the full moon casting an ethereal glow over the sprawling garden. It had been weeks since they’d truly spoken to each other, their silence deafening despite the few interactions they shared in passing. Their love, once a burning flame, had turned cold — distant, untouchable, yet never quite extinguished.Sophia stood by the window, her fingers tracing the cold glass as her thoughts swirled around her. She had been waiting for Ethan to come to her, to tell her everything, to end this tension that hung like a thick fog between them. But he hadn't. And she didn't know why. Maybe it was pride. Maybe it was fear. Or maybe... it was something deeper — something they both needed to confront.As she gazed out into the darkened sky, the soft sound of footsteps broke her thoughts. She turned slowly, her heart quickening at the sight of him.Ethan.He stood in the doorway, his silhouette bathed in the pale moonlight, his face unreadab

**A Moment to Remember**The early morning sun spilled through the curtains, painting the room in a soft, golden glow. The air was cool, with the promise of a new day, yet the warmth of the previous night lingered. Emma lay on her side, her head resting on Lucas's chest, her hand curled gently around his. His steady heartbeat was a comforting rhythm beneath her ear, a sound that felt like home.Last night had been different. There had been no grand gestures, no forced confessions—just the quiet, tender moments they shared as they talked, laughed, and simply enjoyed each other's company. It had been the kind of night they both needed, a chance to reconnect, to find each other again after so much time apart. She could feel the love between them growing stronger, like a thread weaving their hearts closer together."I don't want to leave," Emma whispered, her voice barely a breath, her fingers tracing small circles on his chest. "Not today, not ever."Lucas's hand gently cradled the back

** The Breaking Point**Ayesha gasped as Reva’s dagger pressed against her throat.The sharp edge bit into her skin, just enough to send a trickle of warmth down her neck.For a heartbeat, everything stopped.Zayn had his gun trained on Reva. “Let her go.” His voice was steady, but Ayesha could hear the tension in it.Reva barely spared him a glance. “If you fire, she dies first.”Ayesha’s mind raced.Reva wasn’t bluffing.Her sister—**her own blood—**was about to kill her.And Ayesha was running out of options.The Fight for SurvivalAyesha moved.With a sudden, brutal twist, she jerked her knee up, slamming it into Reva’s stomach.Reva grunted but didn’t let go.Ayesha grabbed Reva’s wrist and wrenched it away from her throat, twisting hard until the dagger clattered onto the floor.But Reva was too fast.She lashed out with a sharp elbow, catching Ayesha across the jaw.Pain exploded in Ayesha’s head, stars dancing in her vision.She stumbled back—but so did Reva.Zayn took his cha

**The Ghost of the Past**Ayesha’s pulse thundered in her ears.She couldn’t move.She couldn’t speak.Because standing before her, alive and breathing, was a woman who had died years ago.Her sister.Zayn’s gun was up in a flash. “Ayesha?” His voice was tight, uncertain.Ayesha barely heard him. Her mind reeled.This wasn’t possible. It couldn’t be.She had buried this part of her past.She had grieved. She had bled.And yet—“Still slow to react, little sister?” The woman tilted her head, dark eyes gleaming with amusement. “Some things never change.”Ayesha’s fingers tightened around her gun.Her body screamed at her to shoot. To move. To do something.But she couldn’t.Because standing in front of her wasn’t just anyone.It was Reva.Her older sister.The sister who had died in a fire that Ayesha had started.The Fire That Changed EverythingYears ago, before Ayesha became who she was now, before she even knew the truth about her past—She had been someone else.She had been a girl

** Beneath the Surface** The Tunnel of Secrets The air in the tunnel was thick, damp, and laced with the scent of rust and decay. Every breath Ayesha took felt heavy, laced with the weight of unanswered questions. She led the way, flashlight in one hand, gun in the other. Behind her, the team moved carefully, their footsteps echoing off the narrow metal walls. Adrian’s voice was low, cautious. "How long does this tunnel go?" Damien, who had been eerily silent since they escaped, finally spoke. "About a mile. It leads to an old dock. If we keep moving, we’ll reach a safe house before sunrise." Zayn scoffed. "Safe? Funny word coming from you." Damien didn’t react. Ayesha, however, had had enough. She stopped abruptly, turning on her heel to face him. The flashlight beam landed on his face, casting shadows across his sharp features. "Talk." Her voice was sharp, demanding. "You knew this was coming. You knew they were going to attack us. You’ve been hiding something this entire

** The Betrayal Within**Unmasking the TraitorAyesha’s fingers tightened around the list, her breath coming slow and controlled as she stared at the name at the bottom.A name she recognized.A name that shouldn’t be there.Her gaze lifted, scanning the faces around her. Zayn, Priya, Adrian—all looking back at her with a mix of concern and curiosity.She swallowed hard. "One of them is here."Adrian frowned. "What do you mean?"Ayesha took a slow breath and slid the paper across the table.Adrian’s eyes widened the moment he saw the name. "No way."Zayn leaned in, his jaw tightening. "That’s not possible. It has to be a mistake."But Ayesha knew better.Priya’s fingers hovered over the keyboard. "If this is real… then they’ve been inside our team this entire time."Silence.The weight of Damien’s words settled over them like a dark cloud. The room felt smaller, the air thick with tension. Ayesha’s pulse pounded in her ears as she kept her gun trained on him, her finger hovering over
