The drive out took hours, far enough from the city that even the stars seemed to vanish. Robert Wolfe sat in the back of the car, silent, his reflection fractured across the tinted glass. Outside, darkness and trees blurred together, and the faint hum of the engine filled the silence he preferred.

Killian Jackson.

The name alone made something cold twist behind his ribs.

When they reached the facility, the driver stepped out immediately, opening the door and bowing his head slightly. The guards outside didn’t greet Robert; they simply stepped aside. This place wasn’t on any record. It was a graveyard with electricity and locks instead of dirt.

Robert walked through the narrow corridor, the tap of his cane echoing against concrete, steady, deliberate, and mercilessly precise.

The final door opened with a mechanical hiss. The air that spilled out was thick, stale, heavy with years of stillness. A single bulb swung lazily from the ceiling, slicing a thin line of light across the chained

For the first time, we meet Killian Jackson, the man whose absence has shaped decades of betrayal, silence, and pain. Robert Wolfe’s confrontation with him isn’t just about power, it’s about possession, control, and the kind of cruelty that hides behind elegance. The tone of this chapter was intentionally slow, chilling, and intimate, two men bound by one woman and a son who doesn’t yet understand that he’s the consequence of both love and war. From this point on, the story shifts gears. What’s been buried is waking up. What’s been hidden in the dark will start to unravel in the light, and none of them, not Robert, not Elena, and certainly not Killian Wolfe, will come out of it untouched.

  • His To Ruin   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Nine: A Son Not Chosen

    The hallway outside Victor’s wing smelled of liquor before Robert even reached the door.Not surprising. Not disappointing.Simply expected.He did not knock. He opened the door and stepped inside.The room was dim, curtains drawn, clothes on the floor, the faint blue glow of a TV screen left running without sound. Victor sat slouched on the edge of the bed, one hand wrapped around a half empty bottle of whiskey, his hair a mess, eyes glassy and unfocused.The image would have bothered most fathers.Robert was not most fathers.He closed the door behind him. “Stand up.”Victor blinked slowly. Confusion, then something like irritation crossed his face. “Dad?”“Stand,” Robert repeated.Victor tried. He got halfway to his feet before his balance wavered and he sat back down, bottle clinking against the floor. He laughed once, humorless. “I’m fine.”“You’re intoxicated,” Robert said. Not an insult, just a fact. “And we do not have time for you to sober up.”Victor rubbed both hands over hi

  • His To Ruin   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Eight: Standing side by side

    The storm had only grown heavier, the wind pushing against the windows as though the world itself was warning him to stop. Return. Rethink.He didn’t.Killian stepped through the door of the safe house, the air inside warm in contrast to the cold rain that clung to him like a second skin. The lights were dim, quiet, the place too still. Too watchful.Ivy sat on the couch, waiting.Not pacing.Not anxious.Just waiting, like someone who had already made a decision.She looked up at him, eyes calm in a way that unsettled him more than fear ever could.“You came back early,” she said softly.Killian nodded once. He didn’t speak yet. He was still carrying the adrenaline of the call, the confirmation, the reality that the next hours would either save a man or end everything.He closed the door. Locked it.Then spoke.“I came to move you,” he said. “We’re switching locations. You’re not staying here.”Ivy didn’t flinch. “Where?”“Another house. More secure,” he replied. “Away from this. Away

    The safe house was quiet in a way that didn’t feel peaceful.Not empty. Not abandoned.Just quiet in the way a heart becomes quiet after too much has happened and too much is still waiting to happen.Ivy stood where Killian had left her, her hand still resting on the doorframe even though he was long gone. It had been only minutes, but it felt longer. The echo of his departure clung to the air like smoke, warm, heavy, something that stayed in the lungs even after the source was gone.His voice still played in her head. "I’ll be back." A promise, said softly against her lips.She had nodded. She had held his face in her hands. She had looked him in the eyes like she believed him.But deep in her chest, beneath bone and memory, she knew something else:He was walking into something larger than both of them.Not fate.Not destiny.History.And history is never gentle.She crossed the living room slowly, as though the air itself was thick. Rain tapped against the windows at first like fin

  • His To Ruin   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Sixty: The Bait and the Blade

    The night pressed in like smoke, heavy, suffocating, and too still for comfort. Killian sat alone in the dim study, the low hum of the city outside swallowed by the storm that was breaking somewhere beyond the glass. His phone screen still glowed faintly with the call from his mother.Her voice lingered in his head. “Be careful, Killian… please.”He’d promised her he would be.But he knew promises like that didn’t belong in his world.Killian’s hand tightened around the phone until his knuckles turned white. He replayed every word Elena had said, every tremor in her voice, every pause that sounded more like fear than uncertainty.The location she mentioned.The file she “accidentally” found.A remote property, off the coast, long abandoned, supposedly under restoration by one of Robert’s companies.He could feel it in his gut.This was it.He rose from his seat and crossed to the side table, unlocking the small drawer beneath it. Inside lay the secure satellite phone, one that couldn’t

  • His To Ruin   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Five: The Calls That Changes Everything

    The rain hadn’t stopped since she left Robert’s study. It followed her back to her room like a ghost that refused to let go. Droplets slid down the wide glass panes, blurring the garden lights into trembling orbs. The house was quiet, heavy, as though it was listening.Elena sat at the edge of her bed, her mind racing with the information she just find. The words had burrowed into her chest like a heartbeat she couldn’t silence.She closed her eyes. Killian Jackson.She hadn’t spoken that name aloud in years. She could still see him, the man who once loved her before everything became politics and promises, before Robert Wolfe and the web he built around her life. Killian’s father. The man who’d disappeared from the world but never fully from her memory.Now, she had seen it, a trace, a location, a possibility. And the thought that her son, their son, might finally find answers stirred something reckless inside her.She reached for her phone, her hand trembling slightly.For a long mo

  • His To Ruin   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Four: A Trap in motion

    The estate itself was quiet, almost reverent, as Elena arrived in Robert’s study.Robert was already there, the large room filled with papers, folders, and carefully arranged documents. Every item, every sheet of paper, had been placed with intention.He moved deliberately, walking to the window to observe the rain over the city, leaving the desk, and the bait, within her reach.A single folder lay there, innocuous at first glance. Its edges were crisp, its cover unremarkable, but it contained precisely what he wanted her to see, a file that suggested the location of Killian’s biological father, a secret he had guarded for over three decades.He knew the moment Elena discovered it, she would tell Killian. And in doing so, she would unknowingly lead both Killian and Ivy directly into his trap.Robert allowed himself a moment to savor the inevitability. Every movement, every decision had been calculated. Elena would act as a messenger without realizing it. Killian, driven by curiosity, l
