Chapter Thirty Four- First real date

last update 최신 업데이트: 2026-01-18 18:03:40

Eliana’s POV

I almost texted to cancel the whole thing twice before I’d even zipped up my dress. Nerves, excitement, dread—an entire storm churned in my chest as I adjusted my makeup in the mirror, smoothing on lipstick with a hand that wasn’t quite steady. The black dress I’d chosen was a little bolder than usual, the neckline dipping just enough to challenge expectations. It wasn’t for Alexander—at least, that’s what I told myself. But as I checked the clock, I couldn’t ignore the way my heart beat a little faster.

At exactly nine, my phone buzzed. Alexander: “I’m outside.”

I took a breath, squared my shoulders, and walked out to meet him. The elevator ride felt endless, my mind replaying every sharp word and heated exchange we’d ever had—how easy it was to push each other’s buttons, and how much harder it was to admit that underneath it all, something else was brewing.

When I stepped into the lobby, I saw him leaning against a sleek black car, one hand in his pocket, the other hol

  • Engaged To The Ruthless Billionaire    Chapter Thirty Three- Sooner than expected

    Eliana’s POV The morning began quietly, with sunlight spilling through the gauzy curtains and warming the edges of my bed. I’d been awake for nearly an hour, staring at the ceiling while my phone buzzed intermittently with reminders I had no energy to check.When the call finally came through—Father flashing across the screen—it startled me into sitting upright.“Good Morning Father,” I answered, trying to sound more alert than I felt.“Eliana.” His voice was brisk, as though he’d been waiting for me. “I need you to come home today. There’s something really important we need to discuss.”Something in his tone—measured, deliberate—made my pulse skip.“Is everything all right?”“I’ll explain when you’re here.”He didn’t wait for my reply before the line went dead.Typical.By the time I’d showered and dressed, the unease had settled deep in my stomach. I chose something simple—a cream sweater and tailored jeans—tied my hair back, and tried to remind myself that I was no longer the daug

  • Engaged To The Ruthless Billionaire    Chapter Thirty Two- Reporting back to the headquarters

    Eliana’s POV The Marlowe Club was one of those places whispered about at charity galas and family dinners but rarely described in detail. It wasn’t because the women who went didn’t want to talk. It was because the men who ran it made sure the details never left its black marble walls.It was high-gloss exclusivity, from the velvet-draped booths to the polished brass sconces casting warm shadows over tables filled with people who had more money than morals. Eliana always felt like a fraud walking through the door — but Katherine?Katherine was in her element.I found her perched behind the bar, one elbow on the counter, her hair pulled up in a high ponytail that screamed effortlessness even though I knew she’d spent half an hour perfecting it. She wore the Marlowe uniform — black silk camisole, sleek pants, stilettos — but she made it look like couture.The moment her eyes landed on me, she stilled, then narrowed them.“You’re glowing.”“I am not glowing.”She leaned forward. “Eliana

  • Engaged To The Ruthless Billionaire    Chapter Thirty One- Against the glass

    Eliana’s POV His mouth was still on mine when my back hit cold glass. The sudden chill against my overheated skin shocked a gasp from me, but Alexander didn’t let me breathe it in. His kiss swallowed everything—my sound, my reason, my ability to think beyond the hard press of his body caging me in.The city sprawled out beneath us, a galaxy of lights scattered across the skyline, but all I could see was him. All I could feel was him.The glass trembled with the force of his body slamming me into it again.God, he was relentless.My dress was gone in seconds, ripped down the middle like it offended him, like it had no right to exist between his hands and my bare skin. His palms branded fire wherever they touched—my hips, my breasts, the soft line of my throat as his thumb brushed over my pulse. I was shaking, not from fear but from the storm he was unraveling inside me. His hands were rough when he spun me around, pressing my palms flat against the cold glass. The city stretched out

  • Engaged To The Ruthless Billionaire    Chapter Thirty- The confession that broke everything

    Eliana’s POV A sickening crunch split the air.Matt’s head snapped back, a spray of blood painting the cream-colored rug as he staggered into the wall. His howl of pain was sharp, pathetic, and drowned beneath the low, feral growl rumbling out of Alexander’s chest.I couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe. My whole body froze as Alexander seized Matt by the collar and slammed him against the wall hard enough to rattle the frame of the painting behind him.The copper stench of blood flooded the penthouse, seeping into my lungs, into my skin.“Alexander—” My voice came out strangled.He didn’t hear me. His jaw was carved from fury, his eyes burning like a man possessed. He looked larger than life, all sharp lines and simmering violence, like the devil himself had risen from hell to claim his due.“You think you can come into my home,” Alexander snarled, his lips curling into something that wasn’t quite human, “and put your hands on my fiancée?”Matt sputtered through blood and spit. “She—she

  • Engaged To The Ruthless Billionaire    Chapter Twenty Nine- Don’t touch my wife

    Eliana’s POV The penthouse was too quiet without him.I should’ve been grateful for the silence. After what had just happened—after the way his hands had branded fire into my skin, after the way his voice had clawed through me like I was nothing but his possession—I should’ve been glad for the empty rooms and the soft hum of the city outside the windows.But the quiet wasn’t peaceful. It was suffocating.I paced the living room with my bag still slung over my shoulder, my heels clicking against polished marble. My chest rose and fell too quickly, like I’d sprinted up twenty flights of stairs. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him. The snarl in his mouth when he told me I was his. The bruising heat of his kiss. The way my body betrayed me—arching, trembling, wanting when I should’ve been shoving him away sooner. I couldn’t even focus on work without getting flashes of the most inappropriate things I actually wanted to do with him.Oh God, what was wrong with me?I told myself it was l
