Owned by Billionaire Chapter 150 – The Edge of Reckoning
The silence that followed the aftermath of the explosion was unnatural.Elena’s ears rang with the sharp hum of shock. Dust clung to her skin, her lungs burning with the acrid sting of smoke. She blinked, slowly at first, until the flickering lights above gave her the clarity she needed—Killian’s body, half-shielded over hers, and Reid crouched beside them, bleeding from a deep cut above his brow."He's breathing," Reid muttered, voice hoarse.Elena's heart lurched as she shifted beneath Killian. Her hands fumbled against his chest, searching for the wound. Blood was everywhere, but he groaned lowly, which was more hope than she'd dared to wish for."Killian," she breathed, her voice raw. "Come back to me. Stay with me."His eyes fluttered open—barely, but enough."I'm not... leaving you," he rasped, pain etched into every syllable.A beam above them creaked ominously, threatening to collapse at any moment.Reid stood and grabbed Elena’s arm. “We have to move. Now.”Elena helped him l

The light from the overhead bulb flickered as Elena turned another page of the ledger. She sat at the long mahogany table in Killian’s private library—one of the only places in his estate no one entered without permission. Thick bookshelves lined the walls, every inch steeped in a kind of quiet power, like the air was holding its breath for what would come next.She didn’t notice any of that now.Her focus was narrowed, laser-sharp, and almost terrifyingly calm.Each name on the page was a knife. A buried truth. A match waiting to be struck.“Governor Kline accepted three payments under shell accounts,” she muttered. “Each disguised through offshore trusts. And here—here’s the transfer linked to the chemical plant fire. He signed the permit two days before the explosion. Twenty-six people died.”She looked up. Killian stood across the table, hands braced against the surface. His jaw was tight. Eyes stormy. Every inch of him screamed fury barely leashed.“That’s enough to take him down

The cold bite of the early morning wind didn’t shake Elena as she stared out over the tarmac of the private airstrip. Her jaw was tight, arms crossed, every muscle in her body coiled like a spring.It was nearly five a.m., and the sky was turning the color of bruises—faded purples and blues bruising into gray. A single jet sat at the edge of the runway, its engines quiet, but the air around it was electric.She knew what was inside.Or at least, what might be.The ledger.The original, unburned, untouched ledger her father had kept. The one that could tear Victor’s empire to pieces. If the files Dante intercepted were right, it would be onboard in less than an hour, bound for Switzerland under a fake diplomatic seal.She couldn’t let that happen.She wouldn’t.“Elena,” Reid’s voice cut into her thoughts. He walked up beside her, his black tactical jacket zipped to the neck, eyes alert. “Perimeter is clear. No sign of movement yet, but I don’t like how quiet it is.”“That’s because the

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
