THE ONLY THING I’D LET RUIN ME CHAPTER 11: WHERE ARE WE GOING?
Halle’s POV My heart hammered against my ribs like it wanted to escape. Sensing my unease, Adrian placed his hands over mine. “We need to leave. Now,” He crossed the room to get my suitcase. Adrian didn’t raise his voice. Didn’t rush. He just did everything at his own pace. “What about Rena? I won’t leave her behind,” I protested. “Rena is safe with Larry,” He continued, “You aren’t safe here,” Unease settled in my stomach, “I don’t like this,” He walked toward the door. And I followed because apparently, my survival instinct now has his name on it, my feet moving before my brain can catch up. “Where are we going then?” “You’ll see,” He never gave a complete answer. And I hated it. … The private jet felt quiet. It was exactly what Adrian Vale would own. Nothing excessive. Nothing that needed to prove itself. Dark leather seats, clean lines, a bar cart nobody touched. The kind of wealth that had stopped caring what you thought of it a long time ago. T
THE ONLY THING I’D LET RUIN ME CHAPTER 10: SUITE 1608
Adrian’s POVHer eyes softened briefly, but she quickly masked it, slamming her walls back up.I meant what I said. She matters too much to me.And she hated that she felt the same. “Don’t,” she said. “Don’t what?” “Don’t say shit like that when everything is falling apart,” “Nothing’s falling apart,” “It is,” she shot back. I stepped closer, holding her gaze.She shoved my chest. “This isn’t romantic,” “I never said it was,” Her brows furrowed.That did it. I was getting to her, and I liked it.She shoved me harder this time. “Stop doing that,” “Doing what?” I asked. “Talking like I’m signing a contract.” She was clearly annoyed. The corner of my mouth almost lifted. “You don’t sign contracts with me,”Her mouth opened slightly. “You’re not funny,” “I’m not trying to be,”She turned away and moved toward the couch, dragging her fingers through her hair.Then she spun back around. “You’re impossible.” “Not to you, Starlight,”A knock sounded at the door, cutting throug
THE ONLY THING I’D LET RUIN ME CHAPTER 9: BECAUSE YOU MATTER
Adrian’s POV The phone buzzed persistently against my hip. I froze, my mouth still pressed to her frantic pulse in her throat, salt and the faint sweetness of her gloss lingering on my tongue. Her nails dug into my shoulders as she arched her body against mine, seeking friction. Then the vibration cut through again. I wanted to throw the damn thing out the window. But I knew better. It was important. It had to be. Halle’s hands remained wrapped around my neck as I pulled back. Her lips were swollen, eyes dazed and searching mine, flickering with confusion as the world pulled us apart. I almost ignored it. Almost took her mouth again, deeper, consequences be damned. It buzzed once more. “Don’t stop…” she breathed. Her pleading voice was one inch away from ruining me. My jaw clenched tightly. “I have to take this,” I said, stepping away from her—the loss of contact felt like tearing skin. I lifted the phone. “Speak,” Silence. Then a slow, mocking clap. “Well done, Va
THE ONLY THING I’D LET RUIN ME CHAPTER 8: DO YOU WANT ME TO?
Halle’s POVMy lips parted on a silent gasp. Heat flooding my cheeks unbearably.He pulled away stepping back as his hand swept through his hair. “You were going to kiss me,” I whispered, the words slipping out before I could stop them. My mouth was clearly faster than my brain.The sudden distance stung. “Yes.” Something dark and feral flashed in his eyes. “Then, why don’t you?” I breathed, barely audible. He stepped closer, slow and deliberate.His hand rose to my jaw again, gentle, controlled, yet trembling with restraint. “Do you want me to?” he murmured, thumb brushing my lower lip, parting it just enough to feel the soft drag. I stopped breathing for a moment. “Yes…” I shamelessly breathed, my gaze falling to his lips, heavy-lidded, helpless. I slipped my hands around his nape tiptoeing, fingers threading into the short hair at his nape, tugging him down. I needed him closer.Needed to feel him. His mouth hovered over mine. This time, no interruption. Just u
THE ONLY THING I’D LET RUIN ME CHAPTER 7: YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE ASKING FOR
Halle’s POV We stood in his hotel room minutes later, tension thick. I’d packed quickly but resentment bubbled in me. He won this time. “You think I’m some fragile thing you need to shield,” “No,” he said quietly. “You’re the one variable I can’t afford to lose,” He said as his eyes skimmed through something important on his tablet. Those words did something to me. “Why do you care so much about what happens to me? I mean, you didn’t seem to care when you let me leave two years ago,” I finally addressed the elephant in the room. Silence. “I had to let you go,” he said , his eyes not leaving his tablet. “What do you mean?” “You can't be exposed.” “Exposed to what?” I asked, confused. He dropped his tablet, stood up, and stepped closer. “Me.” The honesty startled me. “Especially, whoever is trying to reach me through you.” Something twisted in my stomach. “So I’m bait?” I asked in realization. His expression darkened. “You’re leverage,” My breat
THE ONLY THING I’D LET RUIN ME CHAPTER 6: I DON’T NEED YOUR PROTECTION
Halle’s POV My heart raced as my trembling hands held the card. I flinched hearing another knock at the door.I grabbed a lamp as a makeshift weapon, then checked again. Adrian stood outside. I felt relieved seeing him. I quickly flung the door open and launched myself at him, crashing into his chest with desperate force. My arms wrapped around him like he was the only solid thing left in a world that had been crumbling around me…tight, trembling, as if letting go even for a second might shatter everything. I buried my face against his shirt, inhaling the familiar scent of him, and the tears I'd been holding back finally spilled over. My hands fisted on his shirt, clutching harder than I meant to, like I could anchor myself to him and keep the fear, the threats, the violations from pulling me under. He stiffened for half a heartbeat.Surprised.Then his arms came around me, one hand cradling the back of my head, the other pressing between my shoulder blades, holding me s
