Chương 1: "The Gene Project"

The recent news of the Lemzil city.

Pregnant women are being kidnapped. About 50 women in a month have been abducted with no sign of return. The city is in chaos and the victim's family have started to protest.

On a big screen TV, a news reporter stated the main headlines.

After turning off the TV, the woman with glasses got up from the sofa and drank water directly from the water bottle coming from the fridge.

She then wiped her lips. Her eyes had large dark circle and in the dim light of her living room of the apartment she looked soulless and ghostly.

"I must put an end to it!" she muttered with low confident and swallowed.

Wearing a white laboratory coat, she took the keychain of her car and made her exit.

Driving for more than half an hour to reach the Lemzilvilla, she parked her car in front of a ghastly looking villa in midst of forest.

Her tired eyes scanned the front of the villa with a strange stench and she entered inside after knocking on the double door that made a loud creak noise.

The weather was not so good. Lightening in the dark night brightened her view inside the villa for a few seconds.

Candelabras everywhere inside the villa went off after the lightening with a gust of wind that entered the broken window.

Two stairs at either side leaded to the second-floor room which was locked with rust filled locks.

"Stop it Zina, just stop it already. You have done enough". Her deep voice sounded tired as she urged.

In the complete darkness, all she could feel was Zina silhouette in front of her and hear women cries in the locked room above the stairs of the ghostly villa.

"Didn't I said, I will kill your pregnant sister if you dare to make a move against me?" a cold voice with sneer greeted Cilia back.

They both were scientists in different fields. One liked to study on life while the other on physics. Both being friends for years only for Cilia to realize what a façade Zina has been putting to scheme her and others.

Cilia bit her lips and got on her knees with her head down, "Why must you play with human lives, Zina? Why? Even… now if you want then I will help you change for better. So please, I am begging you… let my sister and other patients go".

"It's impossible!" Zina replied firmly without looking shaken.

"The world I want to create… will turn the way I want. You have already got so much fame, so you don't know but I want to create a never-ending fame for my entire life," her lips curled up on the thought of receiving such fame.

Cilia brows curved down, she looked up and as another lightning struck, she saw Zina back and hand holding pistol.

Her face sunk as she saw her death nearby and stuttered, "Zina… playing with li-life is not a good thing. The Gene project will ultimately fail".

Her hands on the ground and chin up. She was staring at Zina silhouette.

The word 'fail' enticed Zina anger and she turned back facing Cilia with her fiery gaze, "Shut up, you bit*h. the project will succeed. My dream to create children with perfect genes will definitely succeed. Don't forget that your sister is still in my hands. One move and I will kill her and her child who will sooner enter this world".

She kicked Cilia haughtily as she loudly claimed to turn the course of nature.

Cilia who got kicked on her head chuckled wryly, "Challenging nature to become the god, Zina you can never win!".

A huge laughter echoed in the villa after Zina heard Cilia, "You… ha-ha… you indeed know me perfectly. Changing children's genes before their birth and making them into a human robot who will only follow me, my goal is both fame and power in this boring world. Hahaha…".

Her laughter ended when she was greeted by the loud horn of the police syren.

Her brows become furrowed and with her clenched teeth, she spoke while bending forward Cilia, "Bit*h, you won here but not completely. I knew someday you will go against me, so I kept your sister especially somewhere else, now die and take all the blame instead of me".

Cilia eyes turned big. She didn't expect for this to happen.

Her trembling and parted lips become blue all of a sudden in shock, "No… this-this… can't ha-ppen".

Her eyes lowered but Zina in rage held her hair with her one hand and with other forced her to hold the gun.

"Dear Cilia will kill herself after her plan was busted!". With a snicker Zina chuckled at her.

"No… they will not believe it. I called them, they will never!" Cilia shook her head slightly while bursting in tears.

"Because your boyfriend found out your illegal and dirty doings, you called for police and killed yourself to repent. No one else but your dear boyfriend will make this statement, darling," like a devil, her eyes glinted when another lightning struck.

Cilia shook her head in pain and stared Zina.

"You are thinking in the right direction, dear. Your boyfriend helped me to kidnap all of them including… your sister".

Zina sinister smile clearly shone in Cilia eyes and with another thunderstruck, Zina held her hand and put her fingers jointly at Cilia fingers and helped her pull the trigger near her head.

The last thing Cilia saw was the sinister smile of her boyfriend standing behind Zina.

…

As Zina wished, all the blame fell on the dead Cilia.

Her project remained hindered for months to avoid suspicion and later she again started her project.

While many women life was saved thanks to Cilia move that costed her life and reputation, other women started to become Zina's victim.

Cilia words that Zina will fail in her project came untrue because one of the children who was experimented on while Cilia was still alive was born in the world with exquisite features about whom Zina remained unaware.

Zina remained unaware about her first successful experiment because Cilia before her death succeeded in saving some of them.

Cilia herself got to know that her words were proven wrong because the girl child with exquisite features was her.

She was reincarnated in a one month old child body, who become the first successful experiment subject of Zina.
