  • Doted by the Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 56: Smiles Beneath the Masks

    They entered the private suite that had been prepared for them for the night. Since the cruise ship would sail into the ocean for one night and two days, every guest had been assigned luxury rooms during the event. The moment they stepped inside, another staff member greeted them politely before asking,“Do you have any luggage left at the entrance, Miss? We can have it delivered to your room immediately.”Lyra shook her head lightly. “No. It’s fine.”Most guests had arrived with multiple suitcases, assistants, and personal staff following behind them, but Lyra came with almost nothing.If she needed anything, the ship already had private boutiques, designer stores, and luxury services available onboard, though everything there cost far more than anything on land. Still, Lyra had no intention of staying aboard long enough to care about any of it.She was here for only one reason: to watch, to see what her enemies were planning. After all, hiding quietly and pretending ignorance had ne

  • Doted by the Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 55:Beneath the Golden Lights

    Lyra stood quietly in front of the mirror inside the master bedroom, her reflection staring back at her under the soft night light. She was already dressed in the custom-made gown prepared for the gala, an elegant piece that fit her perfectly, as if it had been designed only for her. Her makeup was kept minimal yet refined, highlighting her delicate features without overpowering them, while simple jewelry added just enough sparkle to complete the look. She looked stunning, effortlessly beautiful in a quiet, controlled way that didn’t need attention to be noticed.A few moments earlier, her grandparents had called, reminding her to be careful and to avoid unnecessary risks. Their voices carried the same concern they always had for her, no matter how strong she appeared on the outside.Not long after, a message from Elias arrived as well, informing her that he and his people were already on their way to the venue ahead of her. Lyra understood why, no one outside their trusted circle kne

    Then finally…..A small smile appeared on Lyra’s lips. Not warm. Not happy. Just painfully broken, like something inside her had already accepted too much for too long.“I always felt like I killed her.”Elias’ expression changed instantly. The calm he had been holding together shattered: not into anger, but into something far more vulnerable, something deeply human. Without a second thought, he reached for her and pulled her into his arms, holding her like he was afraid she might disappear if he let go.“Lyra…” His voice came out low, steady but strained, like he was forcing every word to stay controlled. “You were just a child back then.”His arms tightened slightly around her, firm and protective, grounding her against him as if trying to pull her out of the memory itself.“And even if you had told anyone,” he continued, his tone darkening with restrained anger at the situation, “they might have come after you too. You would’ve been in danger as well.”He let out a slow breath, tryi

    “It was raining that day,” Lyra said quietly, her voice calm in a way that somehow made the memory feel even heavier. “Really hard.”Her eyes remained fixed on the tall windows ahead of them, distant and unfocused, as if she wasn’t seeing the room anymore but the past unfolding right in front of her again.“The kind of rain that makes everything outside look blurred.” A faint pause followed.“It was only around four in the afternoon, but the sky already looked dark because of the storm.”Slowly, she folded her legs closer to herself and rested her chin against her knees, silver hair falling loosely over her shoulder as silence settled around the room. The soft glow from the laptop screen illuminated the side of her pale face, but her expression remained unreadable.“Me and my mom were in the car back then,” she continued softly. “Then my father called.”Elias stayed silent beside her, his attention fully on her now. For the first time, he could clearly see it beneath Lyra’s calm exter

  • Doted by the Ruthless Billionaire   Chapter 52: The Girl Who Survived the Storm

    Lyra didn’t notice Elias walking toward her side. She was too lost in her thoughts, too deep in the memories pressing against her mind, that she didn’t even feel his presence until he was already there.Elias sat beside her quietly and pulled her into his arms, holding her gently. His voice came out low, calm, but filled with concern. “Why are you awake so early? Is something bothering you?”He knew her too well.Lyra wouldn’t be sitting like this at this hour unless something was weighing on her.But she only shook her head slightly. “Nothing.”A simple denial.Elias didn’t push further. Instead, his gaze shifted to the laptop on her lap. He wasn’t surprised that she had access to satellite systems he already knew what she was capable of. But his expression subtly changed the moment he saw the open windows on the screen.Beatrice.Serene.And the encrypted messages from Liam…his orders, his instructions to his people, carefully structured and dangerously precise. His eyes dimmed slig

    The next morning, Lyra woke up unusually early.The sky outside was still dark, the faintest hint of dawn barely touching the horizon as silence filled the room around her. For a moment, she simply lay there beneath the blankets, staring quietly at the ceiling while a strange restlessness settled heavily in her chest.It was unfamiliar.Lyra was never someone who woke up before sunrise unless necessary. Sleeping was one of the few things she genuinely loved, yet today her body woke on its own as if warning her that something was wrong.Her brows knitted slightly.“…Something bad is going to happen,” she thought quietly.The feeling lingered stubbornly in the back of her mind, difficult to ignore no matter how calm she tried to remain. But after a few seconds, she exhaled softly and closed her eyes again.Maybe it was because of the gala later.The Grande Crow.The danger waiting there.Anyone would feel nervous knowing they were walking into a place filled with enemies pretending to s

    Elias smiled against her skin as he listened to Lyra's needy moans. He increased the speed and pressure of his tongue and fingers, driving her steadily closer to climax. His free hand wrapped around her hip, holding her in place while his mouth worked relentlessly on her body. Her screams of pleasu

    Elias sat beside Lyra after a while, the two of them sinking into silence in the study room. From downstairs, faint traces of laughter and noise still drifted upward, but here, everything felt hushed, intimate.Lyra glanced at Elias from the corner of her eye. She knew he was handsome, sometimes im

    Meanwhile....Lyra sat in her office, high in the eastern wing of the house. The room was quiet now, Yani and the Shadow dismissed hours ago. Only the sound of the sea pressed faintly against the tall glass windows, the waves breathing steadily in the night.The black envelope rested on the table i

    Elias pushed open the front door, loosening the last of his tie as he stepped inside. The faint scent of tea and something sweet drifted from the living room.There she was. Lyra sat curled up on the sofa, a plate of mooncakes on the table beside her, nibbling quietly as if the world outside didn’t
