Reclaimed By The Ruthless Billionaire CEO
"He vowed never to love her. Now he’ll stop at nothing to reclaim her.”
When ruthless billionaire Adrian Blackwood and a sharp witted journalist Elena Carter find themselves entangled in each other's arms, they had an intoxicating one night stand that leads to a scandal that threatens to tear their world down. Their solution was straightforward: a marriage of convenience. No love. No strings attached. Nothing but cold, calculated damage control.
Elena is faced with emotional neglect in a marriage that seems to slowly tear her apart. When framed for betrayal, Elena was sent packing and unknowingly to her she was pregnant. A secret she had kept hidden from Adrian.
Four years later, fate draws them back into each other's lives. Adrian, colder and more commanding than ever before, discovers the truth: Elena is more than just a ghost from his past. She’s a mother. His child's mother. And the child she’s fiercely protecting bears his storm-gray eyes.
Now, the CEO who once said love was a weakness is tearing the world apart to reclaim what is his. But Elena is no longer the woman he abandoned. Rising from the ashes of their failed marriage, she has created a life—and a legacy—that refuses to submit to his demands. But as explosive secrets resurface and old enemies emerge, Adrian and Elena are forced to play a deadly game in which the stakes are higher than pride or passion.
Someone wants Elena destroyed.
Someone wants Adrian broken.
And their daughter's life is on the line.

Chapter: On The News Again?I was not the type with secrets. Okay, maybe I have some things no one knows about—girls' stuff, the kind of things you take to the grave like your first celebrity crush or that time you accidentally called your teacher "Mom." But that didn't stop my brain from working overtime, spinning conspiracy theories like a tinfoil hat convention, wondering what could be wrong now.Another scandal?Was it about Adrian and me this time? My patience was running thinner than my bank account before this contract. While she was typing, I dialed her phone. She picked up at the second beep.There was silence on the other end before she said something, her voice coarse as if she had had a long night of partying. Or crying. Or both. Knowing Maggie, probably partying until she forgot her own name."You won't believe it," she muttered."I won't believe it if you don't tell me, of course," I said, my curiosity eating me up from within like a hungry little gremlin with a personal vendetta."It's about Adri

Chapter: Back To New YorkI didn't know how he would react. Would he shout? Would he strike back? Would he have me escorted out and thrown into the streets of Monaco like yesterday's trash? I could feel my heart against my ribs as I waited for the explosion.Adrian straightened himself, maintaining his composure like he had not just had a slap on his face. The red mark was already blooming on his cheek, a vivid reminder of what I'd done. His gaze darted towards the two men who stood by the door. With that, they stepped out without a word. The door closed behind us with a soft click, and suddenly his presence felt more dominant, more overwhelming. It was just the two of us now, and the room seemed to shrink around me.He didn't say anything. He didn't even try to caress his face to reduce the pain. His expression remained cold and indifferent, as if I had merely swatted a fly instead of delivering a full-force slap to his face.With a slow pace, he walked towards me. I didn't move. I stood there, my legs roo

Chapter: A Trip To Monaco"Mrs. Blackwood? Are you okay?" The driver asked, his voice laced with panic. He turned, his eyes scanning my body frantically to see if I was hurt. Technically, his life would be on the line if anything had happened to me. I could practically see the calculation behind his eyes—if she dies, I die—and honestly, that made me feel slightly better. At least someone cared about my survival, even if it was for selfish reasons."I'm fine," I said, not sure if I was telling the truth or just trying to convince myself. My hands were shaking, my heart was pounding, and I could still see the body on the pavement in my mind. The way the person had crumpled like a discarded puppet. But I was alive. That had to count for something.A notification came in, but it wasn't on my phone—it was the driver's. He glanced at his phone, and in a swift move, he stepped on the gas and drove off. He reversed like a pro, tires screeching against the asphalt as he executed a maneuver that would have made a stu

Chapter: A Bullet For My BrideSomething in me had snapped at the sight of Victoria, standing there in all her fairly used glory like a hand-me-down designer bag that had seen better days. At that moment, I knew I had to hit her where it hurt if I was going to survive her intimidation. She had walked in like she owned the place—and my future husband, apparently—and I was not about to let her bulldoze me in front of Ivy and a rack of couture that cost more than most people's houses.My blood ran cold. "What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice a mix of anger and dread."Why wouldn't I be here? I have eyes everywhere, Elena. I know everything in Milan. Including the fact that you're trying to marry a man who should be mine."Her eyes gleamed with malice, part of me wanted to laugh, scream, cry, and throw up all at once. The nausea from earlier hadn't fully gone away, and Victoria's presence was not helping.Instead, I smiled. The kind of smile that said, "I'm not scared of you." Even though I was. Even though my p

Chapter: The Unwanted GuestI walked into the hotel feeling a bit dizzy from throwing up, my legs unsteady beneath me, my stomach still churning with an uncomfortable queasiness that refused to subside. The lobby was grand, with marble floors that gleamed under the soft glow of crystal chandeliers, but I barely noticed any of it. My vision swam slightly at the edges, and I had to focus on putting one foot in front of the other just to stay upright.Fortunately, the receptionist spoke a little bit of English—broken but understandable—and I was able to find my way around the hotel down to my room. She handed me a key card with a polite smile, her eyes lingering on my disheveled appearance for a moment too long before she looked away. I mumbled a thank you and made my way to the elevator, leaning against the cool metal wall as it ascended.The room was spacious, elegant, but I barely registered any of it. My body was screaming for rest, for relief. I walked straight into the bathroom, and turned on the faucet. Th

Chapter: 24 Hours Till My Wedding"We've spoken about this before," Adrian said, he finally lifted his gaze from his plate, paying full attention to what was unfolding on the table. "That family tradition ends with me."The atmosphere was tense, so thick I could almost taste it on my tongue. His father stared at him as if wanting to rip him apart, his jaw clenched so tightly I could see the muscles twitching beneath his skin. My eyes darted from Adrian, to his father, then to his grandmother, trying to read the room, trying to understand what was happening. My heart pounded so loudly I was certain everyone at the table could hear it."Adrian, this is our tradition," his father reprimanded, his voice low and commanding. "She's not going to carry my child before marriage!" Adrian said, his voice rising for the first time since we had arrived. He clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white as if he was about to punch someone. Carry his child?The words hit me like a physical blow. That was not included in the contra

Chapter: Lylah's RebirthLylah's POV “Ethan! Leave!” I yelled. The footsteps of the guard kept coming closer and closer. It was too late, so I felt. I had to act fast. I lowered my head as I blew out the lantern. “Please Ethan, leave. I wouldn't want you to die because it wouldn't be worth living knowing you're dead.” I said. I had hoped this would change his mind. His grip slowly loosen, I felt a cool breeze blew past me and I knew he was gone. I broke down into tears as I curled myself up crying, just like the day my father was exiled and executed. Ethan had walked through these dungeon halls ever since he was a child, his mother spent months in the dungeon before being executed and Ethan was the one to run these hallways every night without lanterns to guide him just to give his mother enough food. They would never find him in the dark, not when he had lived there for too long. “Who were you talking to? Someone was here? Who was that?” The guard yelled as he approached me, his huge lantern shin

Chapter: The Cold NewsLylah's POV The evening came along with an indifferent cold. My body felt so cold as I curled myself up in a corner. I blew hot air from my mouth into my palms as I rubbed them together. I placed them on my face that was already frozen, I even thought it might fall off. The rats squealed at the other end, I could hear the sounds of them moving in distress within the walls of the dungeon, I guess they're equally as cold as I was. The guards that usually stood outside were unavailable today. In cold times like this they usually move to the upper layer of the dungeon. The hallway outside the dungeon was very dark as they left no light to act as a guide or even keep the dungeon warm. What an inhumane treatment, I might be an outcast but I'm still a wolf, just like them. I rested my head on my knees as I shut my eyes closed, hoping I might open it and all of this would be a dream. Suddenly, I felt a bright but subtle light that made me squint. I opened my eyes only to see a famil

Chapter: Lylah's Rejection“This is outrageous!” Alpha Harris yelled, his voice vibrated through the room which broke the domineering silence that once filled the room. A bead of sweat rolled down Lylah's neck. Was I just being rejected? She thought inwardly. The look in Alpha Harris' eyes was filled with utmost disgust and anger. She couldn't tell where it came from. “Who let an outcast into the sacred mating ball?” Alpha Harris questioned, however, his questioning was met with silence. This silence angered him further. Lylah took a few steps back as she could no longer feel her legs, it suddenly became numb. “Guards! Guards!” Alpha Harris yelled. Three guards trooped in. “Take her and lock her in the dungeon till I decide her fate!” The guards walked towards her as their hands enveloped her fragile arms and they dragged her out of the hall. She didn't speak, this wasn't the time to. Lylah remained silent as she was dragged out of the mating ball. She could feel the piercing stares of Victoria fro

Chapter: The Fourth Mating BallLylah's POV “This is the fourth mating ball in four years, we could say our alpha is impotent.” A man from within the crowd that filled the expansive and opulent hall said. As I walked through the crowd at a calculated pace, I could hear whispers from every corner of the room. It's been four years since Alpha Dawson mysteriously died and his son Harris was made Alpha of the Duskwood Pack. Ever since Harris' ascension, he had faced pressure from the council of elders and even his Beta, Malakai, to find a Luna for the pack. Several mating balls were held but it all ended in broken anticipations and disappointment. It was my first time attending the mating ball ceremony because I've been deprived of the privilege of attending because of my status—an outcast and an omega. My father was framed for treason and because of that, he was executed and afterwards my mother disappeared leaving me with my aunt, Malicia, who treated me like I wasn't one of them—like I didn't belong.
