His Bride Of Revenge
He tilted her chin up, his touch deceptively gentle.
“You’re trembling,” he whispered, brushing his thumb over her lips, slow enough to make her shiver.
“Is it fear…” his gaze lingered on her mouth. “Or me?”
Her pulse stuttered, betraying her. He was too close, and her body didn’t seem to remember which feeling came first, terror or desire.

Chapter: Chapter 77: Permission to Leave**Elena’s POV**My phone felt like a block of ice against my palm. I stared at the screen until the words began to blur into a dark, ugly smudge. Lucia’s message was a trap, and I was already falling into it. “If you tell him, you will never know the truth about who you truly married.”What did that even mean? Was Stefano more than a man with too many secrets and a dangerous name? My heart pounded against my chest.I shook my head and dragged in a slow breath, but it didn’t help. My mind felt loud and messy, like too many voices speaking at once. How did she expect me to leave this house without Stefano knowing? It almost made me laugh.After everything that had happened with Dante, stepping outside alone felt impossible. Fear had settled into my bones over the past days. I barely slept and barely breathed without checking the doors.I was still sitting on the edge of the bed when the door opened. I whirled around, shoving the phone under my pillow just as Stefano stepped inside. H

Chapter: Chapter 76: CityLife**Elena’s POV**I awoke with a start as the bedroom door groaned open. I wasn't a heavy sleeper anymore; every creak of the floorboards, every shift of the wind against the glass, sent my heart into my throat.It had been three days.Three days since Dante dragged me through that dark parking lot. Three days since I felt the cold bite of his knife against my skin. Since then, Stefano had been a shadow that never left my side.He was there when I slept, there when I woke. There when I showered, when I paced, when I stared out the window too long. If I shifted, he noticed. If I flinched, his jaw tightened. He hovered as if the world might snatch me away the second he turned his back.But I knew why. I guess the guilt was eating him alive because he hadn't been there to stop Dante.I lay back against the pillows, my fingers restlessly picking at the threads of the duvet. This was my life now: locked doors, armed men downstairs. Fear tucked into every corner of the house as if it belonged

Chapter: Chapter 75: Where Were You**Stefano’s POV**I held her in my hands.The moment my arms wrapped around her, Elena didn’t lean into me. She exploded, her whole body vibrating with terror so deep it felt like her bones might shatter. She let out a choked sound and started clawing at my chest, her small fists slamming into me again and again, panc driving her movements."Get off! Let me go!" she screamed, her voice thin and broken.I tightened my grip, pulling her against my chest to pin her flailing arms. I had to be careful; I was ten times stronger than she was, and the last thing I wanted was to bruise her further than she already was."Elena!" I shouted over her screams, trying to calm her through the panic. "Elena, look at me! It’s me, Stefano. You’re safe. I’ve got you."She froze.Slowly, she lifted her head. Her face was a mask of pure agony; mascara streaked down her cheeks like black ink, and her lips were swollen and bloodstained. The moment her blue eyes met mine, the fight drained from her. She went

Chapter: Chapter 74: Now or Never**Elena’s POV**Dante didn't stop. He didn't even slow down. He kept hauling me deeper into the darkness of the parking lot.My arm burned where his fingers dug into me. My heels slipped on the uneven asphalt, making me stumble every few feet. The parking lot felt endless, with row after row of dark cars, and the music from the ballroom was now distant, as if it belonged to another world.I thought he would shove me into one of the cars, but he didn’t.He kept pulling me farther away.My legs began to shake, and my calves screamed. Every step felt heavier than the last. I tried to twist free, my breath coming out in sharp, broken gasps.“Dante,” I wheezed, my chest rattling. “Please. Stop. I can’t... I can’t keep up.”He stopped abruptly, spinning around to face me. He looked down at me with a look of pure annoyance, like I was a broken toy that was no longer fun to play with.“We are almost there, Ellie,” he snapped. He jerked my arm, making me hiss in pain. “Stop being difficult.”I

Chapter: Chapter 73: The Moment Everything Breaks**Stefano’s POV**Moretti slapped his hand down on the oak table and stood up, a victorious grin stretching across his face. “It’s going to be a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Bernardo. People with your... vision are rare these days.”I stood up at once, my suit jacket pulling tight across my shoulders. I met his firm handshake with a controlled grip. Beside me, Marco surged to his feet, clapping his hands, his grin wide and satisfied. “Great! Fantastic,” he barked, his eyes bright with the thrill of the win. “I told you this deal was sealed.”Moretti smiled, pleased with himself, and gestured toward the door. “Shall we rejoin the party? I believe there is more champagne with our names on it.”We walked out of the quiet library, the heavy doors closing behind us. As we moved down the long, dim corridor toward the ballroom, something inside me felt off.Moretti led the way, rambling about shipping schedules and port authorities. I followed, but my mind was elsewhere. My hand dri

Chapter: Chapter 72: Blood on My Hands**Elena’s POV**Dante dragged me down the stone stairs, my feet barely touching the steps.My heels skidded across the ground, and my shoulder slammed into the iron railing with a sickening thud. A white-hot flash of pain shot down my arm, leaving my fingers numb. His grip was iron on my wrist, his thumb digging deep into the bone until I thought it would snap.This was real!It finally dawned on me that if I didn't put up a fight, it might be the end of me. I had escaped him last time by a miracle, but Dante wasn't the kind of man who let miracles happen twice. If I let him shove me into a car, I would never come back. I twisted my wrist frantically, trying to slip through his fingers. “Let go of me!” I hissed, my voice trembling.Dante didn't even slow down. He just tightened his hold, his nails biting into my skin.I let out a soft, broken cry as the skin on my wrist began to bruise. “Stop struggling, Ellie,” he muttered, his voice flat and chillingly calm. “You’re only making it

Chapter: Chapter 69: The Price of Letting Go“What the hell are you talking about?” Colt asked, his voice sharp, confusion cutting through him.The man didn’t flinch. He stood his ground, his jaw shifting as he ground his teeth together. His eyes weren't just cold anymore; they burned with raw hatred. “I’m talking about Lauren,” he hissed. “The woman you stole from me."Colt’s eyebrows pulled together. He felt a sickening crawl of suspicion move up his spine, settling at the base of his skull. He took a slow step forward, his expensive leather shoes clicking on the polished floor. “I don’t understand,” he said, the words coming out slow and dangerous. “How do you know her?"Logan’s chest rose as he drew in a deep, shaky breath. He adjusted the lapel of his suit jacket, a movement far too calm for the fire in his eyes. “I’m Logan,” he said. "Lauren’s fiancé.”The words hit like a punch.Colt shut his eyes tight. He dragged his hands down his face, his palms rough against his skin, trying to ground himself before he did something

Chapter: Chapter 68: The Door That Slams ShutColt was already dressed and ready to leave the house, his fingers trembling from a mix of caffeine and raw nerves. He stood before the full-length mirror, but he didn't see a billionaire. He saw a man holding a crumbling empire together with his bare hands.His phone buzzed on the dresser, vibrating against the wood. He snatched it up and checked the screen. It was Alex.He answered immediately.“Hey!” Alex’s voice came through bright and easy. “Just calling to check in. Today’s the big day, right? The Quantum merger meeting with the CEO?”Colt closed his eyes and let out a long, ragged breath. He leaned his forehead against the cool glass of the mirror. “Yeah, Alex. If this doesn't go through, the board is going to have my head on a stake. The headlines about Lauren have already wiped five percent off our stock.”“You’ll be fine,” Alex said, his tone turning serious. “I’ve heard the new CEO is a reasonable guy. He likes winners, and you’re the biggest one I know. Call me when you’ve

Chapter: Chapter 67: When Words Become WeaponsMia walked into the office at 7:55 a.m., but she already felt like she’d worked a double shift.The lights above her were too bright, stabbing at her eyes. Her head throbbed. She hadn’t slept a wink. Every time she closed her eyes, she heard Lauren’s voice on the phone, small and terrified. She had spent the night staring at her ceiling, wondering how the world could be so cruel to her best friend.She reached her cubicle, slung her leather bag onto the chair, and collapsed into it."Ugh."Mia leaned forward, burying her face in her hands. She pressed her forehead against the cold surface of her desk, hoping the chill would numb the pain in her head."Why do bad things happen to the best people?" she whispered to herself.Her chest felt tight. Lauren was pregnant, being dragged online, hated by people who had never met her. And here she was, stuck in an office, pretending to care about contracts and filing dates while her heart broke.She inhaled slowly, dragged her laptop toward her,

Chapter: Chapter 66: Where Love Turns DangerousLauren finally lifted her head and looked him dead in the eye.Her eyes were wet, hurt, and furious, all at once. She looked at him with so much hurt that Colt felt his own lungs seize.“She came here, Colt,” Lauren said, her voice shaking so hard it was barely a whisper. “Today, while you were at your meetings. She looked at me like I was something she found on the bottom of her shoe.”The words landed slowly and heavily. Colt felt the blood drain from his face, leaving him cold and lightheaded.“She opened her purse,” Lauren continued, a jagged, bitter laugh escaping her throat. “She offered me ten million dollars. Ten million to take my mistakes, your babies, Colt, and vanish from the face of the earth. She told me I was trash and a stain on your perfect family name.”He staggered back a step as if the floor had shifted under his feet. His hand found the edge of the dresser to steady himself.“My mother did what?” he asked hoarsely.Lauren didn't answer right away. She reached up a

Chapter: Chapter 65: When the Walls Close InColt didn’t leave the office until night had fully settled.Meetings had bled into one another until his brain felt fried. The legal team had barked about contracts. The PR team had whined about "image control." The board members had spoken in sharp voices, their eyes sharp with blame and fear. Every room smelled of tension and expensive cologne. Every question circled back to the same thing.Lauren. The pregnancy. The headlines.By the time he pulled his car into the garage, his shoulders felt as if they had been carved from granite. He loosened his tie as he climbed the stairs and massaged his jaw. It ached from his teeth being clenched for twelve hours straight.It was 9:30 p.m.He paused outside his bedroom door. He hoped Lauren was asleep. Sleep meant she hadn’t seen everything yet.He pushed his door open.It was empty. The bed was perfectly made and untouched. There was no sound of soft breathing, no familiar scent of her vanilla lotion in the air.His chest tightened. The empt

Chapter: Chapter 64: Venom and DesireCorinne stepped out of Madison’s sleek car, a slow, toxic smile spreading across her lips.The door shut behind her, and the car pulled away, its tires humming softly down the street. She stood on the sidewalk for a moment, closing her eyes and breathing in the cool air. She could feel the power thrumming in her veins, like a drug.Everything was falling into place. She had finally crawled into Madison Baker’s inner circle, into the money, the influence, and the power. Once she finished what she promised and Lauren was completely ruined, there would be no going back. Her life would be set forever.She lifted her chin, her heels clicking a sharp, arrogant rhythm as she headed toward her apartment building.Then, she stopped. Her eyes narrowed.A familiar car sat idling at the curb right in front of the entrance. The headlights flicked off, the driver’s door creaked open, and Logan stepped out.Her smile faded, and her brows pulled together. “So this is what you’ve been doing?” Logan s
