The lights shattered with a burst of sparks, plunging the mansion into thick, consuming darkness. Elena's breath caught as the silence was ripped apart by the echo of gunfire.“Get down!” she shouted.Her instincts kicked in before thought could. She dove behind the wide marble column, dragging one of Killian’s guards with her. The other was already returning fire, his weapon spitting flashes into the pitch-black corridor, momentarily illuminating the silhouettes moving in the shadows.They weren’t just outnumbered.They were surrounded.She cursed under her breath, gripping her weapon tighter. This wasn’t just a trap—it was a message. Victor had known she’d come. And he had waited like a spider at the center of his web.“Elena!” the guard beside her growled. “Four hostiles. Two at the top of the stairs, two flanking right—”Another burst of bullets cut through the air, peppering the wall just inches from her head. Marble cracked. Plaster rained down.She didn’t flinch.Elena’s mind r

The sun filtered through the hospital windows in thin, cautious rays, as if it too was afraid of waking the city’s darkest secrets. Elena stood near the foot of Killian’s bed, the folder Ada had handed her still clenched tightly in her fingers. Her chest rose and fell in steady, controlled breaths—but beneath her calm exterior, a storm was stirring.She was done waiting.Done reacting.It was time to go on the offensive.Killian watched her from his bed, propped against the pillows. He was still pale, still healing, but his eyes were sharp now, the fog of pain and sedation long gone.“You’re really going to lead this?” he asked quietly, not with doubt, but with the wary awe of someone who knew exactly what kind of hell lay on the other side of a declaration like that.Elena nodded once. “I’m not doing it just for revenge anymore,” she said, her voice low and deliberate. “This is about survival. For us. For everyone you’ve built this empire to protect. Victor’s not going to stop. He’s

The quiet wasn’t peaceful.It was suffocating.Elena sat on the edge of the hospital bed where Killian lay, his skin pale, his chest rising and falling in that slow, shallow rhythm that mocked her with every breath. Machines beeped softly in the background—too soft, too indifferent—like they didn’t know who he was, what he meant.She hadn’t slept. Not really. There was a blanket draped over her shoulders, given to her by a nurse whose face she couldn’t even remember now. Her hands were cold. Her heart colder. But her eyes remained locked on him like they were stitched to his outline.Killian Graves—ruthless, brilliant, infuriatingly stubborn—had taken a bullet for her. And now here he was, caught between worlds, silent."I told you not to make this a story of sacrifice," she whispered, reaching out to brush the back of her fingers against his cheek. "You promised me we’d come through this together. So where the hell are you now?"The room didn’t answer. The silence was its own cruel l

The morning sky had barely begun to shift from indigo to gray when Elena stood in the training yard of the Graves estate, her hands wrapped in black bandages, her hair tied back, the chill of the dawn clinging to her bare arms.She struck the heavy bag again and again, each blow sharp, controlled, but trembling with something beneath the surface—rage, grief, fear. All of it twisted together like a storm in her blood.Killian watched her from the patio, leaning heavily on a cane Reid had forced him to use while his ribs continued to heal. He didn’t interrupt. He just watched. She needed this. Not because she was preparing for a war—though that, too, was inevitable—but because it was the only way she knew how to breathe right now.Each strike was a memory. Her mother’s scream. Her father’s empty eyes. Dante walking away. Victor laughing in the shadows. Killian bleeding on the floor. Every ounce of powerlessness she’d ever tasted came out through her fists.When she finally stopped, ches
Owned by Billionaire Chapter 143 – A Fragile Kind of Hope
The morning sun spilled through the windows, casting golden streaks across the marble floors of the estate. Everything was quiet—eerily so, as if the world was holding its breath in the wake of everything that had shattered, bled, and tried to rebuild. Elena sat at the edge of the bed, her hands folded in her lap, her gaze lost on the floor.Killian slept behind her, his chest rising and falling steadily. The wound—though brutal—was healing. Slowly. Painfully. But he was alive. That truth, fragile and brilliant, still hadn’t fully settled in her bones.She didn’t want to move, afraid that even the creak of the floor beneath her would break the fragile thread tethering them to this moment of peace.Peace.That word felt foreign on her tongue.“Elena,” came a rasp behind her, and she turned instantly.Killian’s eyes were open, a bit bleary but alert. He was propped on one elbow, looking at her as if she were the only constant he could trust in this unraveled world.“You’re awake,” she w

The silence after Sophia’s surrender felt deafening.Her gun lay forgotten on the floor, its cold metal glinting beneath the overhead lights. She didn’t cry. She didn’t scream. She just knelt there on the hardwood, shoulders squared as if even defeat had to be carried like a weapon.Elena stood frozen in the threshold, heart pounding in the hollow of her chest. Her breath came in shallow, jagged bursts. Every muscle ached from tension, but she didn’t let herself move—not until she was sure this moment wasn’t going to fall apart like the dozens before it.Killian gave a sharp nod to Reid, who moved forward and restrained Sophia with practiced efficiency. She didn’t resist.“I want the rest of the estate cleared,” Killian said, his voice like steel. “Top to bottom. Anyone left standing gets questioned. Anyone who shoots—”“Gets dropped,” Reid finished without missing a beat, already signaling the team through his comms.Dante stood unmoving in front of Elena. His chest rose and fell, ey
