The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 178: Built From the Ruin
--- Elowen's POVKillian didn't move. He just stood there, framed by the open terrace door, holding a small dark package tied with a clean black ribbon. His shadow spilled across the polished marble like something spilled and left to stain, cutting a dark path through the warm amber light bleeding in from the balcony lamps."Happy birthday, Elowen," he said again. His voice was low, scraped raw at the edges—the sound of a man who hadn't slept in over twenty hours and was running on nothing but will and caffeine.I stared at him from the bed, the white duvet pulled up to my waist like a shield. My hands lay motionless against the fabric, pale and useless."You said you weren't coming," I whispered. The words came out smaller than I wanted them to. Smaller than I was.Killian crossed the room. His steps were quiet against the smooth tile—deliberate, unhurried, the gait of a man who never rushed because the world waited for him. He set the small dark box on the wooden nightstand, right b
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 177: He Said He Wouldn't Come
Elowen's POVTwo days passed in a quiet, steady blur.Post-op recovery at the Malaga clinic was nothing like Bellevue. There were no harsh fluorescent lights, no blaring alarms, and no rushed shifts.A dedicated team of caretakers managed my schedule with quiet efficiency. Every four hours, they shifted my position, inspected the surgical dressings on my spine, and guided my legs through light physical therapy to keep my joints supple.The facility sat high in the hills above the coast. White stone walls, wide open arches, and cool Mediterranean marble surrounded me. Through the open terrace doors of my suite, the ocean breeze carried the clean, salt-tinged air straight to my bed.During his morning check-in, Dr. Navarro brought me a small piece of news that felt like a major victory."Once your physical therapy moves into the second phase, w
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 176: At His Mercy
Elowen's POVThree days after Killian walked into Room 412, the transfer happened with the kind of seamless, terrifying efficiency only his money could buy.There were no delays, no paperwork disputes, and no waiting around for discharge authorizations. At seven on Thursday morning, a private transport team lifted me onto a specialized gurney, wheeled me out through a restricted service corridor, and loaded me into an executive medical ambulance.Leo stayed beside me the entire way, his duffel bag slung over his shoulder, holding my hand as we drove onto the private airfield in New Jersey.A white medical transport jet sat waiting on the tarmac, its engines idling with a low, steady rumble.The interior didn't feel like an aircraft. It looked like a mobile intensive care suite, complete with a secured hospital bed, advanced monitoring equipment, and two flight nu
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 175: I Take Care of My Own
Elowen's POVThe glass door slid shut behind him with a soft, airtight hiss.Killian stepped into the room.He wore a dark charcoal wool overcoat over an open-collared white dress shirt, tailored trousers, and leather dress shoes that made barely a sound against the linoleum. He looked completely out of place against the pale institutional walls, the scuffed floor tiles, and the humming plastic machinery.My breath locked tight in my chest.Beside my bed, the heart monitor began to pick up speed.Beep. Beep. Beep-beep-beep.The green line on the display spiked into frantic, jagged peaks, loud and rhythmic in the quiet room.Killian’s silver-blue eyes flickered toward the glowing screen, then drifted slowly down to my face. The faint shadow of travel fatigue sat beneath his eyes, but his expression was entirely controlled, smooth, and unbothered."Relax, Elowen," he said, his voice low, dry, and steady. "I'm not a ghost."He stopped at the foot of the bed, resting both hands in the poc
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 174: Standing in the Doorway
Elowen's POV"Leo?" I gripped the phone, my knuckles white against the plastic case. "Where are you?""I just got off the train at Penn Station," Leo said, his breathing hard, his words tumbling over each other against the screech of subway brakes and echoing terminal announcements. "El, what happened to you? Why the hell didn't you call me?"The raw distress in his voice hit me straight in the chest, cutting through the dull numbness that had held me all week."I... I didn't want to bother you, Leo," I whispered, my voice breaking slightly. "You were just getting settled in Lisbon. You had your job on the docks, and you were finally away from all of this. I didn't want to drag you back into another disaster.""Drag me back?" Leo sounded incredulous, almost angry. "You're lying in a hospital, El! What kind of brother does that make me if you have to go through so
The Billionaire’s Blood Debt: Ruined by My Enemy Chapter 173: He Was Here
Elowen's POVI woke before the dawn light had even touched the window blinds.For days, the first thing that hit me every morning was the suffocating reek of the hospital: rubbing alcohol, scorched heating coils, bleach, and the bitter trace of iodine.This morning was different.I took a slow, shallow breath, and my chest seized.The stale hospital air had been cut through by something entirely foreign to this room—a crisp, sharp scent of cold terrace rain, dry cedarwood, and the heavy, unmistakable musk of tailored cashmere and amber soap.Killian.My eyes snapped wide.My heart gave a violent, erratic thud against my ribs, sending a high, nervous spike across the monitor screen. I whipped my head to the side, ignoring the white-hot ache flaring in my neck and pelvis, my gaze darting straight
