Loving The Wrong Billionaire CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
Clara's pov The city was quiet now, but that quiet was dangerous. Too quiet. My chest still felt tight, my hands still shook from the adrenaline, but Adrian’s presence grounded me. He never left my side, not for a second. Not since the intruders came, not since the warning text flashed across the screen: “Next time, no warnings.”I sank onto the edge of the couch in the safe room, hands pressed to my knees. My body still trembled. The fear hadn’t left me. It wasn’t something that vanished in the moment the intruders fled. Fear stayed. It lingered, fed by memory, by instinct, by every heartbeat that reminded me how close I’d been to disaster.Adrian crouched in front of me, his dark eyes sharp, unyielding, scanning my face. “Clara,” he said, voice calm but insistent. “Look at me.”I forced my gaze up, into his. His presence was solid, unshakable, like a wall I could lean on. And for a moment, I felt a flicker of calm.“You survived,” he said. “And so did I. That’s what matters.”I wan
Loving The Wrong Billionaire CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
Adrian's Pov The warning on Clara’s phone burned in my mind like a live wire. “Soon.”I didn’t need anyone to tell me what it meant. I already knew. The attack wasn’t random. It was a message. And messages like this never came alone.Clara pressed herself close to me, her hands gripping my jacket, and I felt the weight of her fear as if it were my own. Her pulse hammered against my chest, fast, uneven. Panic laced her every movement, every breath. I had to calm her, focus her. Calm her enough so we could survive whatever came next.“Clara,” I said, voice low, steady, controlled. “Listen to me. You stay close. You don’t move unless I tell you. Do you understand?”She nodded, lips pressed tight together, hands shaking slightly. “I understand,” she whispered, though her eyes were wide, frightened.Good. That was step one. Control.I scanned the room, taking in every detail—the layout, every exit, every shadow. The intruders had tested us before. They’d watched, waited, learned. That mea
Loving The Wrong Billionaire CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
Clara's pov The city was alive with noise, but it didn’t feel like life. It felt like the pulse of something dangerous, something waiting, watching, ready to strike. I stayed low in the shadows of the alley, heart hammering so hard it felt like it could shatter my chest. Adrian was beside me, calm, controlled, every muscle coiled like a spring. His presence should have made me feel safe, but right now… nothing felt safe.“They know where we are,” I whispered, barely able to get the words out.Adrian didn’t flinch. His eyes scanned every corner, every shadow, every rooftop in the distance. “Doesn’t matter. We control the perimeter. We set the rules.”I wanted to believe him. I wanted to believe that we could handle this. But fear clawed at my stomach. It wasn’t just the intruders, the traitor, or the masked professionals. It was the certainty that the danger was always one step ahead. That someone knew every move we made before we even made it.Adrian knelt beside a low wall, pressing
Loving The Wrong Billionaire CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
Adrian's Pov The city felt alive, but in a dangerous way, like it had its own pulse, its own heartbeat—and tonight, that pulse was against me. Every shadow seemed longer, darker. Every sound, sharper. Every movement, suspicious.Clara was close, but not enough. She trusted me implicitly, and I trusted her. But the betrayal… that cut deeper than any blade. Someone we trusted had aligned with our enemies. Someone with access, knowledge, and the audacity to think they could destroy everything I had built, everything we had fought for.We were moving through the streets in silence, our steps precise, calculated. Clara stayed close, hands on the small weapon I insisted she carry. Her eyes were wide but focused. Fear lingered there, but beneath it, determination shone. She wouldn’t back down—not now, not after everything.I glanced at her, noticing how tightly she gripped the weapon, knuckles white. “You’re ready for this,” I said, voice low, almost a growl. “You’re stronger than you think
Loving The Wrong Billionaire CHAPTER THIRTY ONE
Adrian's Pov The video burned into my mind before I even pressed play. My fingers hovered over the screen, trembling. I wanted to look away, to pretend it wasn’t real. But something deeper told me I had to see it. I had to know.Adrian was beside me, silent, jaw tight, eyes locked on the screen. He didn’t say anything. He never did when it came to these moments. His presence was enough—solid, protective, unyielding.I pressed play.The video showed the intruders. But it wasn’t them alone. Someone else stood with them, laughing, confident, unmasked. Someone I knew. Someone I trusted.My stomach dropped. “No,” I whispered.Adrian’s hand tightened on my shoulder. “I know.”The image on the screen didn’t lie. The person smiling at them… it was one of our own. One of the people we thought was loyal, safe.Betrayal. The word echoed in my mind, sharp and painful. Every trust I had placed in anyone outside of Adrian’s control suddenly felt like a lie.“Who is it?” I asked, voice barely audib
Loving The Wrong Billionaire CHAPTER THIRTY
Adrian's Pov The room smelled of cold steel and strategy. Screens lined the walls, each displaying cameras, schematics, and maps of every known exit, entrance, and weak point around our building. My hands rested on the edge of the console, tense, fingers flexing, jaw tight. The attack from last night wasn’t just a warning—it was a declaration. And I intended to respond.Clara sat nearby, weapon in hand, eyes scanning monitors with me. She was tense, but she had learned quickly. Every second she spent at my side, she grew stronger, sharper. She was no longer just someone I protected. She was part of the fight. Part of the plan. And yet, even with that, I could feel the fear coiling inside her chest.“You’re quiet,” she said softly, not looking at me. Her voice carried a weight of trust that both humbled and unnerved me.“I’m planning,” I replied, voice low, almost a growl. “Every move. Every step. Every counter. They came once… they won’t make that mistake again.”Clara swallowed, eye
