After His Mistress Destroyed My Life’s Work, I Took Revenge

Synopsis

The hum of the sterile lab usually quieted my mind. It was a specific frequency—sixty hertz of white noise that signaled safety, precision, and control. But tonight, standing at the frosted glass doors of Sector 4, the sound wasn't a hum. It was a thump. Bass. Heavy, rhythmic, and completely foreign to a Class-5 clean room. I swiped my badge. The light blinked red. *Access Denied.* My stomach tightened. I keyed in my override code, my fingers trembling slightly not from cold, but from a sudden, sharp spike of adrenaline.
