Billionaire’s shadow contract Ash
Chapter 26I stood at the window of the safe house, watching the first hints of sunrise bleed across the skyline. Blood had dried on my arm, pulling tight with every small movement. The wound was shallow, but it throbbed in time with my pulse.Riven was asleep on the couch with Lila curled against his side. For the first time in hours, his face looked peaceful. Fragile. Like if I touched him too hard he might break.I couldn’t stop staring at them.Marcus hadn’t just beaten me.He had made me watch myself lose.Fifteen years of contingency plans — wiped out while we were saving my sister. The empire wasn’t cracking anymore. It had been hollowed out in one precise strike.And still, the only things that truly mattered were sleeping ten feet away from me.Riven stirred. His eyes opened and found mine immediately. He carefully extricated himself from Lila and walked over, barefoot and silent. The air between us felt painfully fragile.“You haven’t slept,” he said.“Not yet.”He reached u

Chapter 25The van ride back was silent except for Lila’s quiet sobs against my chest.I held her tighter, one arm wrapped around her shaking shoulders, the other still gripping the gun I hadn’t put down. Damien sat across from us, face carved from stone, blood slowly soaking through the sleeve of his shirt. He hadn’t said a word since the message about his accounts.Fifteen years of contingency plans — wiped out while we were saving my sister.We got her settled in the new safe house. Medical team already waiting. I stayed with her until the sedatives kicked in and her breathing evened out. Only then did I step into the dimly lit hallway where Damien was waiting, leaning against the wall, blood drying dark on his arm.He looked exhausted. Not just tired — hollowed out in a way I’d never seen before.“They’re all empty,” he said quietly. No anger. Just fact. “Every account I could have used to fight back. Marcus timed it perfectly.”I stepped closer. The hallway smelled of antiseptic

Chapter 24We moved out under the cover of pre-dawn darkness.The van was unmarked, the team silent and efficient. Six men I’d kept off every official record for years. They didn’t ask questions. They took their money and followed orders. Tonight, their orders were simple: bring Lila home alive. Everything else was secondary.Riven sat beside me in the back, body rigid, eyes fixed on the floor. His knee bounced once before he forced it still. I reached over and gripped his thigh, grounding him. He didn’t pull away. Instead, his hand covered mine, squeezing hard enough to bruise.“She’s going to be okay,” I said quietly.“You don’t know that.” His voice was rough. “Marcus isn’t the type to play fair.”No. He wasn’t.I’d spent the last two hours pulling every string I still had. Satellite feeds. Backdoor access to traffic cameras. A favor from someone who owed me more than they should. The warehouse district was quiet on paper, but my people had already confirmed movement — armed guards

Chapter 23The words on Damien’s phone burned themselves into my brain.Lila is missing.For a second the world went silent. No penthouse hum, no city noise outside the glass, nothing but the roar of my own pulse. Then everything crashed back in — sharp, violent, suffocating.I snatched the phone from his hand, reading the message again like it might change if I stared hard enough. Two men down. Facility breached in the middle of the night. My sister — the only family I had left, the girl I’d sold my soul to protect — gone.“This is my fault,” I whispered, voice cracking.Damien’s hand closed around my wrist, firm but careful. “No. This is Marcus.”I pulled away and paced the living room like a caged animal. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking. All those years of hacking, lying, surviving on scraps and rage — and still I couldn’t protect her. The one innocent person in this entire nightmare was now paying for my choices.“If he hurts her…” My voice broke completely. “If he so much as touch

Chapter 22I watched Riven say the words — “I’m with you” — and something inside me locked into place with terrifying finality.No hesitation. No conditions. Just raw acceptance from the man who had once broken into my server room ready to destroy me. The weight of it settled heavy in my chest, equal parts victory and terror. For the first time in years, control felt like something I was willingly handing over.I pulled him closer, burying my face in his neck, breathing him in like he was oxygen and poison at the same time. His hands fisted in my shirt, holding on just as tightly, like letting go would make the world collapse around us.“We do this my way,” I said against his skin, voice low. “No heroics. No running to Marcus thinking you can bargain for time. You stay here. You stay with me. No matter what happens next.”Riven let out a shaky breath that ghosted across my collarbone. “And Lila?”“I already have people moving. She’ll be moved to a secure location by morning. New name

Chapter 21The message lit up my phone again an hour later.Unknown: Your sister’s facility has nice security. Expensive. Wonder how long that lasts if Voss loses everything.My stomach dropped. I deleted it instantly, but the words stayed burned behind my eyes. Lila. The one person I had left. The reason I’d broken into Damien’s world in the first place. Now she was collateral.Damien was in his office down the hall, voice low on a call. I could hear the steel in it — the billionaire masking the man who held me like I was the only solid thing left in his world. I hated how much I needed that version of him right now.I walked in without knocking. He ended the call mid-sentence when he saw my face.“What happened?”“Marcus texted me directly.” My voice sounded distant, even to me. “He’s threatening Lila’s facility. Security. Funding. Everything.”Damien’s expression didn’t change much, but I saw the shift — that dangerous stillness he got right before he destroyed something. He crosse
