His Vengeful Vow: The Billionaire’s Sweet Surrender Code Blue
Chapter 12BEEEEEEEEEEP.The high-pitched, continuous screech of the heart monitor sliced through the hospital room like a siren of death."Dad!" Elara screamed, her voice tearing from her throat. She lunged forward, grabbing her father's limp shoulders. "Dad, wake up! Somebody help!"The hospital room erupted into absolute chaos."Code Blue! Room 412!" a nurse yelled into the hallway, rushing to the bedside and aggressively hitting the emergency button on the wall.Within seconds, a team of doctors and nurses flooded into the room with a crash cart."Clear the room! We need space!" the lead doctor shouted, already charging the defibrillator paddles.Elara couldn't move. Her hands were locked onto the metal bedrail, her eyes wide with sheer terror as she watched the nurses rip her father's hospital gown open.Suddenly, a pair of massive, unyielding arms wrapped securely around her waist from behind."Let them work, Elara," Julian’s deep, gruff voice ordered in her ear.He didn't give
His Vengeful Vow: The Billionaire’s Sweet Surrender The Awakening
Chapter 11The ride to St. Jude’s Medical Center was a blur of sheer panic.Elara sat rigidly in the back of the Maybach, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. Her mind raced with a million terrifying scenarios. Her father was awake. It was a miracle the very thing she had prayed for every night since his stroke.But sitting across from her was Julian Vance, a man who looked like an executioner heading to the gallows.Julian stared straight ahead, his jaw clenched so tightly the muscles jumped. The brief, confusing vulnerability he had shown in the dining room was completely gone. The news of Richard Sterling's awakening had ripped him out of his romantic stupor and plunged him straight back into the icy waters of his vengeance.When the car finally pulled up to the hospital entrance, Elara scrambled out before the driver could even open the door. She practically sprinted through the automatic doors, ignoring the curious stares of the hospital staff."Room 412," Julian ordered coldly,

Chapter 10Elara didn’t sleep a single wink that night.She sat on the edge of the guest bed, wrapped in a plush white robe, staring at the glowing screen of her phone until her eyes burned.Ask him about the Thorne family. Don't let your husband kill the wrong man.The anonymous message mocked her from the screen. She zoomed in on the attached photograph for the hundredth time, examining her father’s signature. It was real. The specific loop of the 'R' and the sharp slant of the 'S' it was unmistakably Richard Sterling's handwriting.Her father had helped destroy Julian’s parents.A fresh tear slipped down Elara’s cheek, splashing onto the screen. Her father wasn't just a victim of a hostile takeover. He was guilty.But he hadn't acted alone.Arthur Thorne Victoria and Marcus's father was Julian’s right-hand man. He was the senior board member of Vance Empire. Julian trusted Arthur implicitly. He had allowed Victoria to drape herself over him for years, and he did massive amounts of
His Vengeful Vow: The Billionaire’s Sweet Surrender A Taste of Poison
Chapter 9It wasn’t a kiss meant to punish. It was the kiss of a starving man who had finally found the one thing that could keep him alive. Julian’s mouth was hot, demanding, and utterly consuming. He tasted like expensive champagne and dark, dangerous intent. One of his large hands moved from the stone balustrade, tangling deeply into Elara’s pinned-up hair, sending hairpins cascading to the terrace floor. He tilted her head back, deepening the kiss until she had nowhere to go, no air to breathe except his. Elara’s first instinct was to fight. She brought her hands up, pressing them flat against the hard, muscular wall of his chest to shove him away. He was the enemy. He was the man actively destroying her family. But as Julian let out a low, rough groan against her lips, his other hand slid down the bare expanse of her spine, gripping her waist and pulling her flush against him. The fight instantly drained out of her. A jolt of pure, liquid heat shot straight to her core. Her

Chapter 8The guest bedroom was beautiful. It was decorated in soft creams and warm golds, with a massive bed and a private balcony overlooking the city. It was infinitely more comfortable than the dark, imposing cavern of Julian’s master suite.It was exactly what Elara had wanted.So why had she spent the last two nights staring at the ceiling, feeling an uncomfortable, hollow ache in her chest?It’s just adrenaline, she told herself firmly as she sat at the vanity table on Friday evening. You’re just used to being on edge around him.A soft knock on the door pulled her from her thoughts. Mrs. Gable, the housekeeper, peeked her head in. She was a stern older woman who usually wore a permanent scowl, but her eyes softened slightly when she looked at Elara."The styling team has left, Mrs. Vance," the housekeeper said, stepping into the room. "And I must say... you look breathtaking."Elara stood up and turned to face the full-length mirror.Julian’s assistant hadn't exaggerated. The

Chapter 7When Julian opened his eyes, the storm had passed.Bright, crisp morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse. The blinding headache and bone-deep ache of the fever were completely gone, leaving him clear-headed.He shifted on the mattress, intending to sit up, but a strange weight pinned his right arm.Julian froze. He looked down.Elara was asleep, sitting on the plush carpet beside the bed with her upper body slumped over the mattress. Her dark hair cascaded over the dark silk sheets in a messy, beautiful halo. And there, resting right over his heart, was her hand, still loosely intertwined with his fingers.The memories of the night before hit him with the force of a freight train.The shattering glass. The burning fever. The cool, gentle stroke of a wet towel against his skin. He remembered the soft, soothing tone of her voice, and worst of all, he remembered the desperate, pathetic way he had begged her to stay.Stay. Just... stay.Ju
