The room went completely still.
Outside, the East River slapped against the pilings under the floorboards, but inside the empty harbor house, the only sound was the wind finding its way in around the seal of the front door.
I stared at Killian, my heart going hard against my ribs.
Lazy Spider.
I remembered exactly how Kateryna had frozen the first time he said

The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 184: The Paris Threshold
--- Elowen's POVTwo weeks passed in a blur of physical strain and small victories.My mother stayed in Málaga for four days before flying back to her home outside Lyons. We didn't try to cram years of lost time into ninety-six hours. We couldn't. But we exchanged numbers, talked on the terrace every morning over tea, and promised each other that Paris wouldn't be the end of our reconnected lives. It would be the start.By the time Dr. Navarro signed my travel clearance, I could move from my wheelchair to a standing frame with only light assistance from Elena. My back still burned after twenty minutes upright, but the sharp, terrifying spasms had settled into a dull ache I could manage.The flight to France was fast and quiet. Leo sat beside me in the executive cabin, pointing out the window like a kid on his first vacation, while I kept my hand wrapped around the brass key in my pocket.When the car turned off the main avenue onto Rue de l'Université, the noise of afternoon traffic f
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 183: Ties That Remain
--- Elowen's POVFor a long time, neither of us said a word.She stood inside the entryway, her coat draped over her arm, watching me with a stillness that made my chest ache. The room was quiet except for the distant sound of the sea outside."Say something," I said. My voice sounded thin, sharper than I intended. "You don't get to just walk in here after all these years and look at me like you were only gone for the weekend."My mother took a small step forward, her eyes never leaving my face. "I know, Elowen.""Where were you?" The anger came up fast, hot and bitter, boiling over before I could stop it. "Do you have any idea what it was like? Dad lost everything, the lawyers took the house, and you were just... gone. We searched everywhere for you. Leo and I thought you were dead. We thought you abandoned us because we weren't worth sticking around for."I gripped the blanket on my lap, my knuckles white. All the years of carrying that quiet hurt, of feeling like a ghost left behin
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 182: The Woman in the Mirror
--- Elowen's POVThe morning sun came through the sheer white curtains and laid pale shapes across the marble floor. Three days had passed since Leo and I first opened the digitized municipal archives on my laptop, leaning over the screen like two people digging up a map from another life. Three days of coming back to that one line of text—a legal entry proving that a piece of my mother's heritage still existed in the heart of Paris, untouched by the debt and greed that had taken our family apart back home.And still, my body refused to cooperate."Breathe smoothly, Elowen. Chin steady. Don't let your shoulders curl." Elena's hands were firm against my lower back as I sat upright on the edge of the rehabilitation mat, trying to hold my balance without the raised backrest.My arms shook under my own weight. Every muscle from my upper back down to my lumbar spine screamed at the pull of gravity. The titanium rods and screws fused along my vertebrae felt heavy and stiff, like a metal cor
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 181: The Parisian Deed
--- Elowen's POVThe brass key felt unnaturally heavy against my palm, its cold edges pressing into my skin like a physical anchor.I sat in my wheelchair near the open terrace doors, the cream parchment resting on my lap alongside the small velvet box. The afternoon Mediterranean breeze rustled the sheer curtains, carrying the faint tang of salt air, but my mind was miles away—anchored to a single address in the 7th Arrondissement of Paris.Held in trust under your mother's maiden name.My mother had been missing for years—forced into exile after my father's ruinous gambling debts and Diego's predatory financial acquisitions destroyed her family's firm. I had spent so much of my life searching for any trace of her, assuming everything connected to her legacy had been liquidated. Erased. Swallowed whole by the corporate vultures that fed on our family's collapse.&
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 180: The Price of Restoration
--- Elowen's POVBy the third morning after Killian left, the bright Mediterranean sun stopped feeling warm and comforting. It felt harsh and unforgiving, pouring through the sheer glass doors and lighting up every single corner of my room.The quiet routine that had kept me numb shattered at eight in the morning.Dr. Navarro arrived with Elena and a heavy metal frame that clicked and locked as they pushed it into the center of the room. The gentle leg stretches in bed were over. Today brought cold metal and real strain."Your spine has healed enough from the surgery to handle your own weight," Dr. Navarro said, looking over my latest scans on his tablet. "Today, Elowen, we see if your body is ready to stand. We see how much weight you can take."Leo sat in the armchair holding a half-empty cup of coffee. The lazy, relaxed posture he always had completely vanished the second Elena unbuckled the heavy leather straps on the frame. He leaned forward, his knuckles white, his jaw tight as
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 179: A Crowded Room
--- Elowen's POVI stayed frozen in my wheelchair near the glass doors, watching them.The stranger didn't give Killian a second to breathe. Her fingers wrapped around the crook of his arm with a practiced, possessive familiarity, pulling him toward the open entrance before he could even finish the sentence he had started with me. She was laughing, her voice high and musical, speaking in swift, low bursts of French that blurred into the quiet hum of the lobby air conditioning.Killian didn't push her away. He didn't tense up, and he didn't glance back over his shoulder. He simply let himself be led out into the cool night air, his tall form disappearing through the heavy glass doors into the back of a sleek dark sedan waiting at the curb.The pneumatic doors closed behind them with a soft, final sigh.The clinical escort pushed my wheelchair toward the private el
