The moment Henry saw the hidden passage, a thought struck him-hadn’t Perry once asked about
building an underground station for Kajit virus research? He'd said yes, but he hadn’t yet given any
orders to move forward. So how in the hell did Aubrey already know about this place?
The elevator carried them down, and what opened before their eyes was almost identical to the
scene Aubrey remembered from her past life.
Rows of equipment gleamed under the harsh white lights. For research on the Kajit virus, the setup
was much the same-though this time, the machines were newer, sharper, more advanced.
The second they stepped inside, the entire underground chamber flared to life, lights snapping on
one after another.
Aubrey'’s lips curved faintly, but her smile was colder than ice. She pointed up at the ceiling. “Let
what’s interesting about it?”
Her tone dropped to a bitter whisper. “From below, you can hear everything spoken above, crystal clear. But
when chaos breaks out down here? Up there, not a sound gets through.”
Her eyes dimmed, memories flooding in. She remembered the first time-newly dragged inside, still half-

shouting over and over. But above, the researchers talked casually, unbothered.
The medics at her side had only smirked, watching her like a fool. They didn’t even bother to stop her. She'd
shouted until her throat bled-and no one heard a thing. That was the first tdespair rooted in her bones.
Her gaze shifted, falling on a recessed panel. She stepped toward it, pressed a button, and a narrow passage slid
open in the wall.
“The emergency exit,” she said softly. “I remembered it. Once, | nearly got out through here.”
Her eyes grew sharper. “I broke my restraints that night, ran like hell. | was so close.” Her voice dropped, flat as
steel. “But they caught me. And for the attempt, they broke my legs. | never ran again.”
The words dripped into Henry's ears like poison.
Aubrey’s steps carried her deeper into the lab. She stopped before the cultivation tanks. Their faint hum was
achingly familiar.
Her fingers trailed across the cool surface. “These,” she murmured. “They cultivated a special strain of fungus.
Just for me.”
Her lips twisted. “The Lupine virus hid too well in me. When | resisted, they needed something to force it active.
All | had to do was inhale a little of this dust, and suddenly the virus burned inside me. Useful, right? They got
their data whether | wanted it or not.”
Her hand dropped from the glass. Her voice was calm, but Henry heard the blade beneath.
“There was just one side effect. Excruciating pain. Muscle wasting. Dehydration so severe | shriveled to skin and
bone. No matter how many nutrients they pumped into me. I still wasted away. Like a corpse.”

Aubrey touched her cheek lightly, then turned her smile on Henry-so lovely, and yet so cruel. “Tell me, Henry. Do
you think I'm beautiful now?”
For a moment, he was caught off guard, stunned by the shift. But he forced his voice steady, his answer raw with
truth. “Beautiful. Always. You're beautiful.”
Beautiful enough that sometimes he wanted to lock her away from the world. To keep her only for
himself
Aubrey'’s lips pressed together. She patted her own check twice, her eyes gleaming with a mocking
light “Then you can’t even imagineskin and bones, covered in bruises, looking like a rotting
corpse.”
Henry froze, confusion and alarm twisting through him. He didn’t understand what she was telling
him- not fully.
But the numb, broken smile on her lips told him one thing: she would not explain. Not to him. Not
now.
And he felt it deep in his gut-that if he didn’t act soon, if he didn’t find a way to break through this
wall between them-he would lose her. Completely.
