THE BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN BRIDE: Reborn for Revenge CHAPTER 150
The Throne Above the WatersThe cold, murky waters of North Jakarta slammed against Mavric and Liora’s bodies the moment they plunged from the pier, five metres above. The blast from the Duke’s sabotaged yacht still echoed in their ears, sending heavy ripples surging outward through the dark sea. Beneath the surface, Mavric’s hand clamped firmly around Liora’s wrist, pulling her upward until they broke through into the open air, right in the shadow of the towering concrete pillars supporting the satellite control centre.“Liora! You still have it?” Mavric gasped for breath, seawater streaming down his bruised, battered face.Liora coughed violently, spitting out water from her lungs. With trembling fingers, she raised her hand high. The silver pendant was still there, bound tight to her wrist with the flare cloth, now soaked through. “The chip… its temperature plummeted the moment we hit the sea. We’ve bought ourselves time, Mavric. We have to get up there fast before they lower t

Race Against the SunThe roar of a Kawasaki KLX 250 engine tore through the quiet of Jakarta West’s narrow alleys. Mavric Thorne gripped the handlebars until his knuckles turned white, while Liora Thorne clung tightly to his waist, her left hand clutching the silver pendant, which now felt like a burning coal pressed against her palm. Above them, the dark silhouette of the Duke of Westminster’s Eurocopter helicopter loomed constantly, the rhythmic thud of its rotor blades blending with the deafening noise of the city below.“Mavric! The temperature’s rising again! The indicator light on the pendant is flashing red!” Liora screamed into his ear, her voice almost completely drowned out by the rushing wind. “This chip has highly sensitive thermal sensors. If the metal reaches 42 degrees Celsius, the self‑purge protocol activates. We’ll lose all the stored data within thirty minutes!”Mavric glanced at the side mirror and spotted two black SUVs belonging to the Duke’s men emerging at t

Dust and Blood on Home SoilThe hot, humid air of Jakarta greeted Mavric and Liora as they stepped out of the private jet terminal at Soekarno‑Hatta Airport. There was no red carpet, no line of bodyguards in tailored suits surrounding them as usual. This time, they arrived like shadows. Liora wore a loose T‑shirt, cargo trousers and a baseball cap pulled low over her face, while Mavric known as the Dragon of London looked distinctly out of place in a simple linen shirt and sunglasses, trying his best to blend into the crowd.“How long has it been, Liora?” Mavric asked quietly, his voice barely audible above the honking horns and shouts of taxi drivers in the distance.“Five years,” Liora replied tersely. Her eyes scanned their surroundings warily. “The last time I was here, I was just an orphan girl running away from the debts left behind by my mother’s medical bills. Now I’m back to retrieve the key that could either destroy or save the world’s economy. Life is ironic, isn’t it?”

Secrets Behind the Walls of BlackwoodThe air inside the underground laboratory beneath Blackwood Manor felt static, as though time itself had ceased to tick away ever since the fire that raged here thirty years ago. The scent of ozone and cold metal hung heavy in the room, lined with rows of old servers that hummed softly despite their age kept alive by hidden backup circuits deep within the structure. Standing calmly in the centre of the room was Thomas White, holding a silver encryption drive that glinted under the flickering neon lights overhead.Mavric Thorne did not lower his weapon. His breathing remained ragged, his body still trembling slightly from the narrow escape from the exploding bookshop. The wound on his shoulder, caused by flying shards of glass during the blast, seeped fresh blood that soaked through the expensive fabric of his shirt. Even so, his gaze remained locked on the man whom, for decades, he had believed to be his father’s most loyal and trusted servant

Shadows Over LondonThe sky over London was the colour of leaden grey, veiled in a fine drizzle that dampened the asphalt outside the Thorne Group headquarters in Canary Wharf. Mavric Thorne stepped out of his black Rolls‑Royce this time, without the aid of a walking stick. Though his stride still held a slight stiffness, his chin was held high with unyielding pride. Beside him, Liora Thorne looked striking in a navy blue power suit, her hair tied back in a low ponytail that gave her an air of professional competence mixed with quiet deadliness.Their return was not that of defeated fugitives, but of conquerors who had just brought the de Montfort dynasty crashing down in Paris. Yet the atmosphere in the building’s main lobby was heavy and awkward. Staff members kept their heads bowed, too afraid to meet the gaze of the dragon who had returned to collect the debts of loyalty owed to him.“Don’t let them feel safe and comfortable, Mavric,” Liora whispered as they made their way tow

Bloody Banquet in ParisThe Eiffel Tower glistened in the distance, usually a symbol of romance for millions of people, but to Liora Thorne, its light felt as cold and unforgiving as an interrogation lamp.A replacement private jet from the Thorne Group’s reserve fleet had just touched down at Le Bourget private airbase.Mavric Thorne was the first to step out. His walking cane had been replaced by a tactical support device that assisted him as he moved on his still‑injured leg.Yet his eyes showed not the slightest trace of weakness; he looked like a wounded dragon that had only become ten times more deadly as a result.Walking beside him, Liora was dressed in a premium wool black trench coat.Her face was pale, yet her expression was firm and resolute. In her hand, she gripped a satellite phone continuously displaying coordinates located within the exclusive district of Avenue Montaigne.“They have taken him to the de Montfort Mansion,” Liora said, her voice trembling with suppresse

The Shadow of DoubtThe morning after the confrontation at the vault was supposed to be a moment of reconciliation. But for Liora Thorne, every sweet word spoken by Mavric now sounded like a string of encrypted code. Even though Mavric had explained about his uncle, Miles Thorne, Liora’s skeptica

Shadows of the White PhoenixThe night before the Azure Gala was supposed to be a night of calm for Liora Thorne. Yet calm was a luxury she no longer possessed. Behind the tightly locked laboratory door, Liora sat surrounded by the blue glow of dozens of holographic monitors floating in the air.

The King’s DeclarationThe storm that lashed the city overnight left the morning air damp and cool at Thorne Manor. Yet the temperature in Mavric’s private library was far more frigid. Beatrice Thorne stood in the middle of the room; her usually haughty face looked wilted, with lines of exhaustio

The Trojan HorseAfter being shamefully expelled from Thorne Manor, Isabella did not run and hide. Instead, she rented the most expensive suite at the Savoy Hotel, using the last of her family’s influence to gather investors from the "Council" and representatives from Vane International.Night in
