Beneath the Billionaire's Cold Heart
"Everyone leaves me eventually. So why should I let you stay, Eliana?"
Adrian Blackwood has everything a man could ever want—wealth, power, and a name that makes people tremble. Yet behind his fortune lies a man haunted by abandonment, drowning in rage, and slowly losing himself to his own despair.
To everyone else, he is a monster.
To Eliana, he is a broken man hiding behind a heart of ice.
She came into his life looking for a job, never expecting to encounter a man so terrifying, let alone discover the pain buried beneath his cruelty.
She should have stayed away.
Instead, she becomes the one person Adrian cannot bear to lose.
But Adrian’s fear of abandonment runs deeper than Eliana could ever imagine. The closer he lets her get, the more desperately he clings to her—until love begins to blur into obsession.
And when holding on becomes more important to Adrian than letting her choose, Eliana must face a question she never expected to ask:
Can she love the man beneath his cold heart without losing herself to the darkness within him?

Chapter: Chapter 7 : Behind Those Empty EyesEliana's attempts to get closer to Adrian had been going quite well. She could now enter the man's room freely without having to ask for permission.It had become a habit for her to tell Adrian all sorts of things. Whether it was about her favorite books, movies, or anything else she liked. Perhaps because she was lonely, Eliana didn't mind that he rarely responded to her stories. To her, simply having someone willing to listen was enough.That night, Eliana knocked before entering Adrian's room, carrying some snacks she had brought from the kitchen. However, when she stepped inside, she found that the man was nowhere to be seen. She walked further into the room and spotted Adrian standing on the balcony.She approached quietly, intending to surprise him, but then she noticed his vacant stare.Eliana stopped in her tracks, silently watching him.Ever since the last incident, Adrian had no longer displayed his anger as violently as before. Eliana had even begun to think that he was get

Chapter: Chapter 6 : A morning in the GardenCharles glared furiously at Julian, who was groaning softly as he tended to the wounds scattered across his face. “Julian, my son! What happened to you?” Rossa hurried toward him, her face filled with concern. Robert, who had been sitting on the sofa, immediately stood up. His brows furrowed at the sight of Julian’s injuries. “Who gave you permission to go to Adrian’s place?” Charles’s sudden outburst caught Robert by surprise. Rossa was startled by her father’s anger. She glanced at Julian before turning back to Charles. “Father, Julian is injured,” she said, trying to calm the old man down. “I’m sorry, Grandfather. I ...” “Shut up.” Charles cut him off. “Don’t blame Adrian for hitting you. You should never have gone to see him in the first place.” Rossa’s eyes widened. “Adrian did this to you?” Julian merely lowered his head, refusing to answer. “Father, hasn’t Adrian gone too far? He can’t even tell his own family apart anymore,” Robert protested, clearly displeased that

Chapter: Chapter 5 : FeverAdrian clenched his fists while wrapped in the girl's embrace. Feeling the warmth of another person after such a long time, he found himself wondering. Could he still feel warmth again? Adrian did not struggle. He rested his head on Eliana's shoulder and slowly closed his eyes. Eliana held Adrian for a while before realizing that the man had fallen asleep in her arms. She chuckled softly, not wanting to wake him. She tried to stand and help him onto the bed. She laid him down on the bed. Perhaps feeling the warmth suddenly disappear, Adrian reached for Eliana's hand and gripped it tightly. "Don't go," Adrian murmured weakly, his eyes still closed. Eliana abandoned her intention to leave. She did not pull her hand away either. Instead, she sat beside the bed and gently stroked his hand to calm him. Exhausted from everything that had happened that day, she wanted to close her eyes while still holding his hand. Some time passed before Adrian's restless movements woke Eliana. Sweat

Chapter: Chapter 4 : I am hereEliana had been working at the residence for a week now. She never expected to last this long. Fortunately, Adrian had been calmer over the past few days and had stopped doing the extreme things he had during their first encounter. As usual, Eliana knocked before entering Adrian's bedroom. "Adrian, I'm coming in," she said, carrying his breakfast. She set the food on the table while Adrian silently watched her. Eliana watched him begin eating in silence. When he reached his fourth bite, the man stopped. She let out a quiet sigh. Again and again, he would stop eating after just four bites. Eliana looked at Adrian's rather thin, unfit body. "You still stop after four bites." Eliana approached him and began clearing away the food. Being so close to Adrian made her study him more intently this time. Since he had not been taking proper care of himself, a mustache and beard had grown around his chin. His hair had also grown long, making him look unkempt. Adrian noticed the girl's lin

Chapter: Chapter 3 : The Blackwood familyCharles was still in the room when Eliana returned with breakfast. Strangely, Adrian did not react the way he usually did. There were no plates thrown. No shouting. Even when Eliana placed the food on the table, the man merely glanced at her before turning his gaze elsewhere. Eliana glanced at Charles. The old man simply gave her a small nod. Charles looked at his grandson with pity. "Try eating a few bites, Adrian," he said, attempting to coax his grandson into eating. Feeling that his grandson was not entirely comfortable with several people in his bedroom, Charles and the head butler left, leaving only Eliana and Adrian in the room. Eliana pulled out a chair near the table and sat down at a reasonably safe distance from him. "If you don't like the food, I can ask the chef to make something else." There was no answer. "Even if you want something specific, perhaps I could—" "Why do you keep coming here?" Adrian's voice made Eliana fall silent. For the first time since E

Chapter: Chapter 2 : Wrong wordAdrian's loud screams prompted the head butler and several others to rush into the room. "Quickly, restrain the young master!" Mr. Cole ordered as soon as he entered. Eliana immediately stepped aside and let the large-built guards do their job. She watched as Adrian continued screaming loudly and struggling violently. Some of the guards were even overwhelmed by the man's fierce resistance. "I'm sorry, Uncle. I accidentally said one word, and Adrian immediately flew into a rage," Eliana said regretfully. The head butler did not immediately blame Eliana. He called the Blackwood family's private doctor. "The young master is quite sensitive to certain words. I hope you will keep that in mind, Miss Eliana." "I'm sorry, Uncle." Eliana nodded as she listened to what the middle-aged man said. She was genuinely afraid of being fired on the spot. Mr. Cole did not seem to be blaming her, but rather questioning her professionalism. Eliana truly had not meant to say it. She had been overwhel

Erros immediately asked while his sister was still preparing her textbook."Wait a minute, I'm preparing my book."Actually, Milan was trying to distract her. She was used to wearing short pajamas like this, but why did she feel embarrassed to wear them now?He glanced at her brother, who didn't care about her appearance at all. "Calm down Milan, you have to calm down," she mumbled quietly.Seeing his sister finished preparing her textbook, Erros immediately walked closer to his sister."What part do you not understand?" Erros asked from behind Milan's body.Since there was only one chair at the study table, Erros stood behind his sister to supervise her lessons.The girl felt a breath coming from her neck. She knew that her brother didn't mean to tease her at all. But her body reacted because of the breath."I-I don't understand this part," she pointed nonchalantly.Erros looked seriously and explained i

Of course, hearing Laura's question didn't surprise her. Because she also knows that her friends have often done it."I don't even have a boyfriend yet. How can I already kiss?""Who knows, you've been. Ah, I think I just want to find a boyfriend," the girl complained.Milan chuckled hearing her friend's words. Unlike Laura, who wants a lover, she doesn't need it at all. According to her, her brother is more than enough. She doesn't need another man right now."I think you should find a boyfriend," Laura knew that the only man Milan had ever been close to was her brother. According to her, her friend is old enough to start a relationship with a man."I'm not at all interested," Milan said as she continued drinking her drink.Actually, Laura had guessed that her friend would definitely say that."No, no. You can't be with your brother all the time. You
