Silence throbbed in the warehouse after Victor's last breath escaped his body. The triumph was meant to taste like release, like the tempest had passed—and instead, it tasted like the eye of something far larger. A warning, and not an end.

Elena cradled Dante, still dazed, as Killian stood gazing down at the piece of paper in his hand as if it contained poison.

"The true enemy is already inside."

The words clawed at his instincts, and suddenly a weight bearing down onto his chest.

This wasn't over. Not even close.

"Killian," Elena stood up. "What does that mean?"

He didn't respond immediately.

His gaze roamed over the destruction—Victor's dead bodies, his battered corpse, the destruction they'd just escaped. Then he saw Dante. The boy—no, the man—who had pleaded Elena to flee from Killian, sitting bound and bruised now from Victor's treachery.

Killian curled his fingers tighter around the note. "We have to leave. Now."

"But—"

"Now," he barked, and Elena did not protest.

They piled int

  • Owned by Billionaire   Chapter 127: A War of Shadows

    Killian’s voice was rough, but his eyes were clear.“Tell me everything,” he said, fingers lacing through Elena’s with surprising strength. “No lies. No soft edges.”Elena didn’t sugarcoat it.She told him everything—the truth about Victor’s confessions, about Margot’s faked death, the hidden auction in Montenegro, and Sophia’s betrayal. She recounted Dante’s findings and how Margot had manipulated them all from the shadows, using Victor as a pawn, and how her goal was nothing short of obliteration—of Graves, of the Romanos, of everything their families had built.Killian listened silently, jaw clenched, the rhythm of the heart monitor spiking slightly every time her voice trembled.When she finished, he let out a long breath, his fingers tightening around hers.“She always liked to make the kill look like a game,” he muttered. “And I always underestimated just how deep her hatred went.”Elena studied him. “Why didn’t you ever tell me more about her? The truth?”His eyes met hers, fil

  • Owned by Billionaire   Chapter 126: Blood Ties and Betrayals

    The hospital corridors were unusually quiet the next morning, bathed in soft sunlight that spilled through the tall windows. Nurses moved silently, speaking in low murmurs, and the scent of antiseptic clung to everything. Elena stood at the window of Killian’s room, arms crossed tightly over her chest, watching the day break over the city.He hadn’t woken up yet.His vitals were strong, the doctor had reassured her. The surgery was successful, and he was expected to make a full recovery. But that didn’t stop the unease crawling through her ribs, the tight coil of dread that hadn’t eased since the warehouse.Behind her, the monitor beeped steadily—comforting and terrifying at the same time.“You look like hell,” a familiar voice said gently.Elena turned, her face softening as Reid stepped into the room with a thermos in hand. “That’s because I feel like hell.”He handed her the thermos. “Fresh coffee. Not the hospital kind.”She took it gratefully and gave him a tired smile. “You’re a

  • Owned by Billionaire   Chapter 125: The Price of Silence

    The city outside the hospital window was still cloaked in the murky blue of early dawn. Elena sat alone in the sterile waiting room, her fingers clutching the lukewarm coffee Reid had brought her hours ago. She hadn’t taken a sip. Across from her, Dante leaned forward, elbows on his knees, jaw clenched in a hard line. The silence between them had turned from awkward to suffocating.“Killian’s stable,” Reid said softly, stepping back into the room. His eyes were tired, dark circles etched beneath them. “Doctors say he lost a lot of blood, but the bullet missed vital organs.”Elena didn’t breathe until those words settled. Relief surged through her like a wave, but it did nothing to calm the storm brewing in her chest. “He saved me,” she whispered, voice brittle. “Without hesitation.”Dante looked away, shame flickering across his face. “He shouldn’t have had to.”Elena turned her eyes to him, gaze steely. “But he did.”There was no point in sugarcoating it. What Killian had done in tha

  • Owned by Billionaire   Chapter 124 – The Beginning of the End

    The sky had fully awakened by the time Elena emerged from Killian’s room. Pale golden light bled through the windows of Graves Tower, brushing over the corridors like a quiet promise that the world hadn’t ended — not yet.But Elena felt like she was walking out of a different lifetime. One where her hands had held a man as he bled for her. One where the line between enemy and ally, family and stranger, had thinned until nothing remained but choices.Reid was waiting outside, perched on the edge of a bench, phone in hand. When he saw her, he stood.“Well?” he asked, voice low, rough.“He’s stable,” she said. Her voice was hoarse, exhaustion soaking into every syllable. “He woke up for a moment. Said my name.”Reid exhaled a breath like he’d been holding it for hours. “That bastard never stays down long.”Elena gave a ghost of a smile. “He’s not allowed to.”She turned to find Dante still lingering at the end of the hallway. He hadn’t moved since she’d gone in, hadn’t said another word

  • Owned by Billionaire   Chapter 123 – In the Echoes of Blood and Silence

    The world contracted.Time shattered into pieces—screams, blood, metal, breath.Elena's fingers clenched tighter on Killian's wound, his blood sliding between her fingers, warm and horrifying. She hardly noticed Reid's yell, the mayhem tearing around them, or even the acrid smell of gunpowder thickening the air.All she saw was him.Killian.Stilled, half-conscious, lips ghosting a breath that quivered against her skin."Stay with me," she breathed, her voice raw, shaking. "You stay. Do you hear me? Don't you dare leave me, Killian."His lids opened with reluctance, the glazed look of pain masking the depth she knew so well. "I'm still here," he croaked. "Still yours."And God, it almost shattered her.Reid barked orders to the others, dragging Victor back in metal cuffs while the remaining guards were either disarmed or shot. Dante crouched beside Elena now, his hands hesitant, unsure.“We need to move him,” Reid said. “Now. We’ve got less than ten before reinforcements show up.”“I’

  • Owned by Billionaire   Chapter 122 – A Throne Carved in Silence

    The days that followed Killian’s shooting passed in a tense, surreal blur. Elena stayed by his side, refusing to leave even when nurses insisted she rest. She couldn’t—not while uncertainty loomed over everything. While Killian's condition improved, the shadows circling outside the hospital only grew darker. Whispers filtered in through Reid’s updates. Board members expressing concern. Stock values dipping. Internal betrayals surfacing like bloated corpses.Killian had built an empire so wide and unshakable that Elena once believed no one could touch it. But now, it was clear—his throne had cracks.And Ada Blackwood intended to split it in two.On the fourth morning, Elena stepped into the hallway after a restless night. Her eyes burned from lack of sleep. Reid leaned against the vending machine nearby, sipping bitter hospital coffee. He looked like he hadn’t slept either.“She’s making calls,” he said without looking at her.Elena rubbed her forehead. “Ada?”He nodded. “She met with
