Description:
Sophia Bennett’s life takes a dramatic turn when she’s forced into a marriage of convenience with the enigmatic billionaire, Adrian Blackwood. Known for his immense wealth and sharp intellect, Adrian is also confined to a wheelchair—a fact that makes him an object of pity for some and a mystery to others. For Sophia, it’s a loveless arrangement meant to save her struggling family.
But beneath Adrian’s aloof exterior lies a man who sees through Sophia’s guarded heart. As days turn into weeks, Sophia discovers a side of Adrian that captivates her—a man who is warm, fiercely intelligent, and surprisingly vulnerable. Against her better judgment, she finds herself falling for him.
Yet, Sophia begins to notice inconsistencies in Adrian’s condition. The truth shatters her world: Adrian’s disability was a carefully constructed lie. Tired of women who pursued him for his money, he created the façade to find someone who would love him unconditionally.
Betrayed yet undeniably in love, Sophia must decide whether Adrian’s intentions justify his deception. Can she forgive the lie that brought them together, or will the truth tear them apart?

Chapter: Chapter 76 – The Reckoning BeginsThe boardroom at Blackwood Global was a glass fortress—high above the city, suspended between ambition and judgment. Every seat was filled. Shareholders, executives, legal teams, and media advisors watched with wary eyes as Adrian Blackwood entered, cane in hand, jaw set like steel.He didn’t limp for effect. He didn’t need to. Every inch of him radiated command, and today, he wasn’t playing the crippled recluse.He was the man reclaiming his name.Sophia followed him inside, poised and unshakable, a storm in heels and silk. The room shifted as they moved. Whispers buzzed. Mercer hadn’t arrived yet—but his absence was its own threat.Adrian reached the head of the table, placed the flash drive down like a sword.“This meeting is no longer about quarterly earnings,” he said, voice calm but carrying. “It’s about truth.”A few chuckles escaped. Someone tried to speak—but Adrian raised a hand.“I won’t waste your time. For years, this company has been shadowed by one man’s control—Victor

Chapter: Chapter 75 – Deals with the DevilThe city glimmered below like a thousand secrets, each light a whisper of stories no one dared tell.Lauren Evans stepped into the old Blackstone Warehouse at the pier—once a shell company for Adrian’s early holdings, now abandoned. Dust clung to the floor, and the silence hummed with memories. This was where she’d helped him fake the medical records. Where they’d first begun the charade.Now it felt like a graveyard.She didn’t flinch when Sophia emerged from the shadows.“I thought you’d bring security,” Lauren said flatly.“I figured if you were going to kill me, you wouldn’t have waited this long.”A beat of silence passed. Lauren smirked. “Fair enough.”Sophia crossed her arms, her expression unreadable. “Why did you come?”Lauren let out a slow breath. “Because I’m tired. Of Mercer. Of lies. Of pretending like I don’t know who I became.”“Then do something about it.”Lauren walked past her, stopping by the crates stacked like forgotten ghosts. “I gave everything to Adrian. Loyal

Chapter: Chapter 74 – Shattered Trust, Steeled HeartsThe silence in the hospital room was thick—too thick.Sophia sat by Adrian’s bedside, her fingers curled around his, her thumb tracing circles over his knuckles. He hadn’t spoken since they brought him in. Not much, anyway. Just mumbled fragments in between waves of pain and morphine.But now, in the sterile quiet of the private recovery suite, there was no distraction left. No tunnel walls. No gunfire. No one but the two of them—and the questions that hung in the air like ghosts.Adrian stirred. His eyelids fluttered open, slowly adjusting to the dim light. His gaze found hers instantly, like a magnet to steel.“Hey,” she whispered.He tried to smile. It was more of a grimace. “Hey.”Sophia leaned in, brushing his damp hair back from his forehead. “You scared me. Again.”“I know.” His voice was raw, raspy. “I’m sorry.”“You don’t have to be sorry for getting shot,” she murmured, voice trembling with the effort to stay light.His eyes searched hers, dark and unreadable. “Not just for

Chapter: Chapter 73 – Ashes and AftermathRain fell softly.Not a downpour. Not a storm. Just a quiet drizzle, like the world was trying to wash away the blood and lies that had soaked too deep into their bones.Sophia sat by Adrian’s hospital bed, a thin blanket draped around her shoulders. Her clothes were still damp from the forest, her knuckles scraped, her body sore. But none of that mattered. Not when the man lying unconscious beside her had nearly died—for the second time in as many weeks.The machines around them beeped with steady rhythm, his chest rising and falling with every breath. Each one was a small victory. Proof that he was still here.Still hers.Her fingers hovered near his, close enough to feel his warmth but afraid to touch him, as if contact would shatter the fragile peace that hung between life and loss. The room was dimly lit, shadows cast by the blinking monitors. The sterile scent of antiseptic clung to the air, mixing with the faint aroma of rain from the window left slightly ajar.It reminded her

Chapter: Chapter 72 – Ties That Choke and Threads That Break
Sophia couldn’t move.Her back was against the damp stone wall, Adrian beside her, barely upright, bleeding and pale. But it wasn’t his condition that stole her breath this time—it was the gun pointed straight at them.Lauren stood just feet away, framed by the flickering tunnel light, dressed in her usual tailored black but with an edge to her presence that Sophia had never seen before. Her cool, professional poise was still intact, but her eyes… they were wild. Sharp. Dangerous.Adrian's jaw tightened. “Lauren. You’re working with Mercer.”Lauren smiled, slow and cold. “Well, someone had to clean up after your messes. And Mercer offered a better position.”Sophia’s voice was barely a whisper. “You were his assistant. You said you believed in Adrian. That you chose him.”“I did.” Lauren’s expression faltered—just for a second. “But belief only gets you so far when you're treated like you’re invisible. Disposable. Do you even remember the last time you actually thanked me, Adrian?”Ad

Chapter 71 – Fragile Hearts, Dangerous Promises
The tunnel stretched on endlessly, winding through the cold earth like a forgotten secret. The only light came from Simon’s flashlight, flickering against the damp stone walls. Sophia kept her hand entwined with Adrian’s, though his grip had loosened—his steps slower, staggered. She could feel it now more than ever: his body was failing him.“Adrian,” she said softly, her voice barely rising above the echo of their footsteps. “You’re bleeding again.”“I’m fine.” His answer was mechanical, like it had been all night.She halted, refusing to move until he turned to face her. “No, you’re not.”He tried to tug her forward, but his strength faltered. The moment his weight shifted, he stumbled against the wall, groaning under his breath.Simon spun around. “That’s it. We’re stopping. He’s losing too much blood.”“I said I’m—” Adrian’s protest faded as his knees buckled.“Adrian!” Sophia caught him, her arms wrapping around his waist as he slumped into her.Simon moved fast, shrugging off hi

Chapter: Chapter 38: No Safe HavenThe warehouse still trembled from the explosion, dust and smoke curling into the air like ghostly fingers. The acrid scent of burning debris stung Elena’s nostrils as she coughed, trying to clear her lungs. Damien’s strong grip on her arm kept her steady as they both regained their footing.“Everyone okay?” Damien barked, his sharp gaze scanning the room.“We’re good,” one of the operatives called back, helping Kozlov’s daughter to her feet. The young woman looked shaken but unharmed, her terrified eyes darting around the ruined warehouse.Elena’s pulse pounded in her ears as she turned toward where their mysterious adversary had stood. The man was gone, but his words lingered like a ghost.“This was just the beginning.”Damien clenched his jaw, his expression dark and unreadable. “We need to move—now. There could be more explosives.”Logan’s voice crackled through their earpieces. “I’ve got satellite imaging up. No signs of additional heat signatures, but that blast was controlled. S

Chapter: Chapter 37: The AftermathThe echoes of the explosion still rang in Elena’s ears as she stumbled to her feet, coughing through the dust that clouded the air. Her heart pounded in her chest, each beat a reminder of how close they had come to disaster. Damien was already moving, his sharp gaze scanning the wreckage for threats. He pulled Kozlov’s daughter from the chair, cradling her limp form as he barked orders into his comm. “Logan, we need extraction—now!” Elena’s hands trembled as she reloaded her weapon, her senses on high alert. The debris was unsettling, shifting in unpredictable ways. The stranger’s mocking laugh still echoed in her mind, sending a chill down her spine. “He played us,” she said, her voice hoarse. “This wasn’t about the girl—it was a message.” Damien’s jaw clenched as he secured the girl in a safe corner. His dark eyes met Elena’s, frustration and anger swirling in their depths. “And we heard it loud and clear.” Logan’s voice crackled through their earpieces. “Team’s en route.

Chapter: Chapter 36: Shadows RisingThe air on the balcony felt heavier than before, the promises shared between Damien and Elena lingering like an unspoken vow. The city below glimmered with life, but for the two of them, the world seemed to shrink. In that moment, it was just them—holding on to the fragile threads of hope they had dared to weave.Elena’s hand remained clasped in Damien’s, their fingers intertwined like a lifeline. She glanced at him, her heart full but her mind restless. “Do you really think we can ever leave this behind?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Damien’s eyes met hers, the flicker of determination unwavering. “We’ll fight for it, Elena. I don’t care how long it takes or what it costs. I’ll carve out a future for us, no matter who stands in the way.”His words were a balm to her anxieties, yet an unsettling feeling lingered at the edge of her thoughts—a shadow she couldn’t quite shake.Just as she was about to speak, Logan’s voice crackled through Damien’s earpiece.

Chapter: Chapter 35: The Edge of TomorrowThe penthouse was unusually quiet, the only sound the faint hum of the city below. Elena stood by the large glass window, staring at the sprawling skyline, her thoughts scattered. The events of the previous night felt like a blur—a haze of gunfire, shouts, and the adrenaline that surged through her veins. They had captured Nikolai Kozlov, but the victory tasted bittersweet. A man like him might be caged, but his influence was far-reaching, and Elena knew that their fight was far from over.Damien entered the room, his presence as commanding as ever. He had shed the formal suit he’d worn during the mission and now looked more relaxed in a black sweater and dark jeans. But even in his casual attire, the weight of his responsibilities was etched into his sharp features.“You’ve been standing there for a while,” he said, his voice softer than she expected.Elena turned to face him, her arms crossed over her chest. “Just thinking.”Damien tilted his head slightly, studying her. “About Kozl

Chapter: Chapter 34: A Fragile PeaceThe city never truly slept, its hum of life a constant reminder of the chaos that seemed to find Damien and Elena no matter where they turned. The penthouse, perched high above the streets, was their sanctuary—a temporary reprieve from what they had barely survived. But as the silence settled over them, the weight of the night refused to let go.Damien sat at the edge of the balcony, his suit jacket discarded, the sleeves of his crisp white shirt rolled up to his elbows. His knuckles bore fresh bruises, a grim reminder of the fight against Kozlov. He cradled a glass of scotch in his hand, the amber liquid catching the soft glow of the city lights.Elena stepped out onto the balcony, her bare feet making no sound against the cool stone floor. She had changed into one of Damien’s shirts, the oversized fabric hanging loosely on her frame. Her damp hair framed her face, and though exhaustion lingered in her eyes, she carried an aura of quiet strength.“Couldn’t sleep?” she asked softly, h

Chapter: Chapter 33: The Face of the EnemyNikolai Kozlov rose from his chair with an air of calm arrogance, his imposing frame filling the room. His dark suit was tailored to perfection, the faint glint of a silver cufflink catching the dim light. The smile on his face was one of triumph, as if he had been expecting this very moment.“Damien Black,” he drawled, his voice low and smooth. “And the lovely Elena Carter. What a surprise.”Elena’s breath caught at the way his gaze lingered on her, but she held her ground, her hand instinctively brushing the small pistol tucked into the waistband of her jeans.“I wouldn’t call it a surprise, Kozlov,” Damien said, his voice steady as steel. “You’ve been sloppy. And now, it’s over.”Kozlov chuckled, his amusement genuine. “Over? You think you’ve won because you walked into my house?” He gestured around the luxurious study, his movements deliberate. “You’re playing on my chessboard, Mr. Black. The game has only begun.”Damien didn’t flinch, his gun trained steadily on the man before hi
