The Billionaire's Exception: Elena's Revenge Chapter Thirty
***Elena's POV***I wanted Hartwell torn apart piece by piece.I wanted Marcus to feel what it was like to lose control of something he thought belonged to him.I wanted Vivienne to choke on whatever lies she had told to stand beside him.I wanted the board, the executives, the polished parasites, the whole rotten structure that had helped bury me, to begin to collapse under its own greed.And I had the perfect place to begin.I looked at Dominic again.He was still unconscious, still quiet, still impossibly difficult to read.“Thank you,” I murmured under my breath, though I did not know whether I was speaking to him or to the strange fate that had delivered me here.Then I stood.I went up to my room to have a nice long warm bath. Dressed up in a decent tailored gown the maids had arranged for me. One of them also helped with styling my hair and put on light makeup for me. I checked myself out in the full body mirror. I looked just like I had wanted. Quality. Superior.A woman wi

***Elena's POV***“Elena.”The sound of my name in that tone made me stop walking.“What is it?”A pause.Then, very clearly, Juliet said, “He moved his fingers.”For a second I didn’t understand.Then the words landed.My entire body went still.“Moved?” I repeated, too quickly.“Yes,” Juliet said. “Just now. It was small, but it was there.”My throat tightened.The corridor around me blurred slightly at the edges.She went on, her voice quieter now. “He may be waking more fully soon.”I could feel my heartbeat in my throat.Dominic.Waking.The idea hit me all at once, sharp and bright and terrifying.I had no idea why my eyes suddenly burned. Perhaps because I had spent so long guarding the edge of his silence that the possibility of hearing his voice again felt too large to hold.“I’m coming,” I said.“Drive carefully—”I had already ended the call.I turned and headed for the elevator so fast I nearly forgot how tired I had been a moment ago.The private black Rolls Royce was wai
The Billionaire's Exception: Elena's Revenge Chapter Twenty eight
***Elena’s POV***By the time I walked into the President's office, my shoulders felt like they had been carrying the entire weight of North Hill on them.The meeting replayed in my head like a flash. I had kept my face composed until the very last stakeholder had left the conference room.I should have felt triumphant.I did... a little.But under it all was something quieter.Something that had been building ever since I had walked into the conference room and realized Dominic would not be there to sit beside me.A strange ache.Not fear.Not exactly.More like the feeling of missing a wall you had not realized you’d leaned on until it was gone.I hated that feeling.It was inconvenient.The older stakeholders had finally stopped underestimating me by the end.That alone should have been enough to make me smug.Instead, all I could think about was what Dominic would have said if he had seen it.He would have probably insulted my posture.Or told me I’d talked too much.Or looked at
The Billionaire's Exception: Elena's Revenge Chapter Twenty seven
***Elena's POV***I chose a tailored cream blouse with sharp cuffs, fitted charcoal trousers, and a jacket that made my shoulders look stronger than my nerves felt. I pulled my hair back cleanly, not too severe, not too soft. Then I added small earrings and low heels that made me walk with purpose even when I wanted to crawl back into Dominic’s room and sit beside him until he woke up on his own.When I looked at myself in the mirror again, I did not look like a guest.I looked like someone who belonged at the table.Good.That would have to do.Dominic's personal chauffeur drove me to the headquarters. I was accompanied by bodyguards and the same respect accorded to Dominic was accorded to me. It felt surreal. With Ethan, I was treated like shit, never even acknowledged as his wife but with Dominic, even though our flash marriage was just based on a contract, I had supremacy.I stepped out of the black Rolls Royce, the door held open by one of Dominic's bodyguards. Rook comes out fr
The Billionaire's Exception: Elena's Revenge Chapter Twenty Six
***Elena's POV**“There are things piling up” I heard Rook say, all of a sudden. Emotionless. I was immediately annoyed. “That’s not my problem.” I blurted out not caring. That's their headache, not mine. Isn't he Dominic's right hand man?? My concern rignt now is for this annoying man to open his eyes. I just want him to get the fuck up and bicker with m like we used to.Oops! Did I just use the f-word?! Rook's mouth twitched faintly. “It is now.”I stared at him. “You’re joking.”“No.”I looked over at Dominic. Still asleep. Still infuriatingly silent. Then back at Rook. “I don’t know how his world works.”“You know more than you think.”“That… is not comforting.”“It was not meant to be.”He opened one of the files in his hand, then shut it again as though deciding he hated the contents. “There are signatures needed. Transfers. Approvals. Two legal matters. One external review. And at least one ministry document that can’t sit another day.”I folded my arms tighter. I looked int
The Billionaire's Exception: Elena's Revenge Chapter Twenty Five
***Elena’s POV***The surgery was successful.The words should have made me breathe again.They did not.Not properly.Not all at once.They hovered in the room like a blessing that had arrived too late to feel simple. The machine beside Dominic’s bed kept beeping steadily now instead of in those sharp, frightening bursts that made my stomach lurch every time I heard them. The doctors had stepped back. Juliet had stopped looking like she was one breath away from physically climbing into the operating table herself. Rook had gone very still in the corner, his arms folded tightly, his jaw set so hard I thought it might crack.And Dominic—Dominic was still not awake.That was the part that lodged in my chest and refused to leave.He lay there so still it was almost offensive. Too pale. Too quiet. His shirt had been replaced with a clean hospital gown from North Hill’s private medical wing, and the bandaging around his side was thick enough to make my throat tighten every time I looked a

***Dominic's POV***The outer perimeter was secured, but that did not mean it had been watched properly. The two were not the same, and idiots often confused them because both involved men in dark clothing standing near walls.I moved through the side corridor and out toward the west grounds, where

***Elena’s POV***The message with my name on it should have scared me senseless.Guess what?... It didn'tInstead, it made me angry.That was the thing about fear—it rarely arrived alone. It dragged other things behind it. Rage… Pride... Stubbornness. The urge to stand your ground just because som
The Billionaire's Exception: Elena's Revenge Chapter fifteen
***Elena’s POV***The sound of the alarm cut through the house like a wound opening.For one frozen second, nobody moved.Not me.Not Dominic.Not even the body at his feet.The intruder’s head had turned at an angle no human neck should ever know, and the sight of it hit me in a way I had not expe
The Billionaire's Exception: Elena's Revenge Chapter fourteen
***Elena’s POV***The house felt wrong the moment I woke.Not quiet.Wrong.There was a kind of silence that belonged to peace, to sleep, to empty rooms and closed windows.This was not that.This was the kind of silence that waited for something to break it.I lay still for a few seconds, listenin
