Twenty-year-old Lyra Moreno appears to be nothing more than a cold, sleepy noble girl porcelain-doll beautiful, always wrapped in blankets, and seemingly uninterested in anything beyond her next nap. To her father, stepmother, and scheming stepsister, she's a burden. But beneath her drowsy charm lies a dangerous secret. Lyra is the anonymous founder of GALAXY, a covert hacker syndicate responsible for dismantling criminal empires from behind glowing screens. Living quietly under the doting care of her powerful grandparents, Lyra is named heir to their fortune but on one condition....she must marry Elias Vale, the ruthless, cold CEO of Vale Corp, who just so happens to be investigating Virgo.exe, her old hacker alias. Seven years older, Elias is brilliant, powerful, and emotionally walled off until fate throws him into the path of the sleepy girl he's been unknowingly watching. When her scheming stepmother and stepsister pay a criminal to ruin her, the two are dragged into a public relationship... and a private war they can't avoid. And even, secretly..... marriage. As they work together to uncover a traitor within Vale Corp, Elias begins to see the fierce strategist behind Lyra's sleepy façade. And Lyra, used to keeping the world at a distance, starts to wonder if she's finally found someone who sees all of her and wants her anyway. But with enemies in her own home and shadows from her past returning, Lyra must decide: can she let someone into her world, or is silence the only way to survive?

Doted by the Ruthless Billionaire Chapter 80: The Real Game Begins
“What do we do now, Liam? If Lyra has the real ring… what does she plan to do next?”Beatrice was growing more frantic by the second. The thought turned in her mind: If Lyra had the ring, that woman would surely be celebrating but if it turned out the ring was gone and she had nothing to show for it, Richard would never forgive her. He would be furious, and the punishment would be far worse than any loss of money.Her voice rose, shaking with fear.“It’s not just about the money anymore! If Richard finds out we lost the ring and sold a fake, he will blame me completely. He warned me not to touch it and now it’s gone. He won’t care about excuses he will make me pay for this, one way or another!”Liam stopped walking, his back rigid, and looked down the long corridor toward the far end of the ship. A cold, bitter smile touched his lips, though it held no warmth. He turned his gaze to Beatrice, his eyes sharp and cruel. He wanted nothing more than to snap at her right now, but he held bac

Beatrice gasped, stumbling back a step as if she had been struck. “What? That’s impossible! I kept it locked inside my personal safe for years! I took it out myself and handed it directly to the staff to prepare for the auction. How could it not be real?”Even she could barely believe it herself. She knew how tight the security on this ship was; guards were posted at every corridor, every entrance, and every deck, with surveillance cameras watching almost every corner. There was no way anyone could have gotten close enough to swap it without being seen… or so she had thought.“How could this have happened?” she whispered, her voice shaking with fear and disbelief. “Security here is so tight that there are guards everywhere and checks at every door. Who would dare do this? And how did they do it without anyone noticing?”Liam stared at the ring resting in his palm. It looked beautiful and flawless to anyone else’s eyes, but he knew it was nothing more than an expertly made copy. Beatri

He looked at them with polite curiosity, though his posture remained guarded and composed. He had known Liam for many years, ever since Liam began expanding his business interests overseas; their paths had crossed often enough to make them familiar acquaintances. Yet they had never been close friends, and Mr. Daley could not understand what could bring Liam to his private suite at this late hour, especially accompanied by a woman he did not recognize.“May I help you, Mr. Liam?” he asked calmly, his tone courteous but carrying a subtle edge of caution. “And who is the lady standing behind you? I believe we have not been formally introduced.”Liam offered a thin, practiced smile, the kind he used for business meetings, warm enough to put others at ease but revealing nothing of his true thoughts. Beneath that surface, however, his eyes remained cold, sharp, and searching, scanning the room as if already looking for something out of place.“Mr. Daley, it has indeed been a while,” he repl

“If I could not have happiness… if my life has been nothing but empty, miserable, and lonely since she died… then neither should they. That is the only reason any of this wealth and power matters now. That is the only goal I have left. I will ruin them. I will break them down, piece by piece, just like I was broken years ago. I will make sure they suffer every bit of pain I have carried all this time. And I will make sure that in the end, their lives are just as empty, just as miserable, and just as lonely as mine has been ever since Laurin left this world.”Beatrice had been searching for Liam ever since all the guests had boarded the ship and the auction had come to an end, but he was nowhere to be found. As time passed, irritation began to creep into her more and more….none of the plans they had carefully laid out had worked out as expected.Now, beneath her growing frustration, cold fear began to sink in. She needed to get that ring back, no matter what it took. If Richard ever di

Night clung to Vale Tower like a cloak. From the highest floor, the city below spread out in ribbons of light, cars crawling like sparks across the veins of steel and glass. The office was quiet except for the low hum of the air vents and the faint ticking of the clock on the far wall.Elias sat be

After breakfast, Elias left for the Vale office with his subordinates, their laughter echoing faintly in the hallway until the heavy double doors closed behind them.The house fell silent.It was the kind of silence that had followed Lyra since childhood…...deep, waiting, almost suffocating. She li

The morning light spilled softly through the curtains, golden beams dancing across the room. Lyra stirred, her lashes fluttering as she slowly woke. Warmth pressed against her side, and her body stilled. Someone was hugging her.Blinking the last haze of sleep away, she turned her head and her brea
