Semua Bab Betrayed, I Become The CEO'S Contracted Bride: Bab 301 - Bab 307

Alexander's revised files arrived before Elara woke.The transport route carried Hammond's emergency authority, the new camera specification and a schedule that kept Mira outside Lucia's medical wing for two hours each morning. No personal note accompanied the documents.Elara approved the final security change and moved the estate call into the completed column. The next required contact with Alexander was three days away, when Lucia's dosage review would bring both sites onto the same conference line.Three days was efficient. Nothing in the protocol required more.She began the morning with Maron's assessment files. Belgian investigators had recovered records from twenty-seven children, including five whose later medical histories suggested neurological intervention. None of the families remembered consenting to treatment.Elara built the comparison table and worked until the site staff brought lunch to the conference room. She ate without leavi

The witness officer approved Marcus's first non-case call three days later.The channel remained monitored, but Hammond did not attend. A notice at the top of the screen stated that the conversation could not address sealed evidence, active witness coordination or any person under current federal protection.Marcus joined at seven."Dr. Vance," he said."This is not a witness session."He paused. "Elara."She had agreed to the contact, but hearing her name from him without a case question behind it changed the room. Elara looked at the monitoring notice until the reaction passed."How is Lucia?" Marcus asked."Stable. The late extraction left deficits we are still mapping.""Does she know where she is?""She knows she is safe. Location and sequence are harder. Some days she remembers the estate. Other days she thinks the institute moved her into another assessment wing."Marcus did not tell Elara that Lucia

The calls continued for five weeks before Marcus spoke about the terms of his cooperation.He had mentioned interviews and the receiver's work, but never the structure around them. Elara knew the public filings. The sealed restrictions remained outside the case material she was permitted to see.That evening, Marcus joined from a different room.The walls were white, and the table had been fixed to the floor. A federal notice filled the space behind him where the apartment window usually appeared."Where are you?" Elara asked."Review office. The receiver found another Sterling account attached to Vass's trust. I have been here since morning.""Are you being questioned?""I finished three hours ago. The transport officer cannot return me until nine."Elara looked at the clock. Their call would end at eight twenty-five."You could have canceled.""I did not want to."He said it without lowering his voice or

Elara pressed the connect sequence on her primary console. The secure site around her maintained a steady, mechanical quiet. Her coffee sat cold in a plain paper cup on the edge of the desk. She took a small sip. The liquid tasted like aluminum and old grounds. She set the cup aside and focused on the center monitor.The connection established itself with a half-second of visual static. The encrypted feed from the estate medical wing cleared into sharp focus.Elara brought up the biometric overlays on her secondary screen. Dr. Chen had authorized the current dosage taper exactly four hours ago. Elara cross-referenced the active heart rate with the morning baseline. The numbers scrolled in steady green lines. The taper was holding.She looked back at the main video feed. She expected an empty room. She expected to see a sleeping child.Mira sat on the edge of the narrow medical cot. She held a damp white cloth in her right hand. She wiped a line of sweat from Lucia's forehead with care
