  • The Billionaires ruin   Blood on his hands

    The blood was still wet. Aria stared at the dark stain spreading across Lucien’s coat sleeve while her heartbeat pounded unevenly against her ribs.For one horrible second, she couldn’t breathe. “Where is he?” Her voice came out sharper than intended as she turned toward the guard standing outside the office. The man immediately straightened. “Mr. Moretti is fine.” Fine.The word did nothing to calm her. “Then why is there blood on his coat?” Silence. That silence terrified her more than any answer could have. Aria grabbed the coat from the chair with trembling fingers. The expensive black fabric felt cold beneath her hands, heavier than it should have been. Something about seeing blood on his clothes made everything suddenly real again. Lucien wasn’t just a billionaire. Not just powerful.He was dangerous. Truly dangerous. And deep down… She had always known it. “Tell me what happened,” she demanded quietly. The guard hesitated again before answering carefully.“There was an incident

  • The Billionaires ruin   The Consequences

    The next morning felt painfully awkward. Aria realized that the moment she stepped into the dining room and found Lucien already seated at the long marble table, reading through several documents while black coffee sat untouched beside him. He looked composed. Cold. Perfectly controlled. As if he hadn’t kissed her like he was starving only hours ago. Aria stopped near the doorway, suddenly unsure what to do with herself.Lucien glanced up briefly. “You’re late.” That was it.No mention of the kiss. No lingering tension in his voice. Nothing.Confusion twisted painfully inside her chest. “Oh,” she said quietly. “Sorry.” Lucien returned his attention to the papers immediately.The distance between them felt sharper than before. More deliberate. Aria slowly sat down across from him while staff quietly placed breakfast on the table. Silence stretched heavily.Usually she would’ve snapped something sarcastic just to break the tension. But now?Now she just felt hurt. Because last night had

  • The Billionaires ruin   The first real touch

    The storm arrived just after midnight. Aria woke to the sound of thunder shaking the windows hard enough to rattle the glass. For a few disoriented seconds, she forgot where she was. Then lightning flashed across the enormous bedroom, illuminating unfamiliar walls, silk sheets, and the massive city skyline beyond the windows. Lucien’s mansion. Reality settled back over her instantly.Another loud crack of thunder split through the sky. Rain slammed violently against the windows while wind howled outside like something alive. Aria sat up slowly, pressing a hand against her chest as her heartbeat steadied. She hated storms. Ever since childhood, they always made her anxious. Her mother used to sit beside her during thunderstorms and tell stories until she fell asleep again. The memory made something ache softly inside her. Lightning flashed again.Then suddenly— Darkness. The entire room went black. Aria froze. A second later the air conditioner shut off too, leaving only the violent so

  • The Billionaires ruin   Secrets behind cold eyes

    The dinner ended after midnight. By the time the last guests finally left the mansion, Aria felt emotionally exhausted. Every smile she gave had felt forced. Every conversation carefully watched. Every movement analyzed by strangers trying to understand why Lucien Moretti suddenly seemed interested in a woman nobody had ever heard of before. But nothing unsettled her more than his uncle. The man’s cold smile still lingered in her mind long after the ballroom emptied. People close to this family tend to die young. The words had wrapped themselves around her thoughts like poison. Aria stood quietly near one of the massive windows upstairs, staring out at the dark city below while trying to calm the uneasiness inside her chest. The mansion had become quieter now. Lonelier. Somewhere downstairs she could hear distant voices from staff cleaning after the party, but otherwise the estate felt strangely hollow. Her gaze shifted toward the engagement ring resting on her finger....Large, Beauti

    The engagement announcement broke the internet in less than twenty minutes. Aria learned that while sitting frozen in front of Lucien’s office television as reporters practically shouted over one another. “Billionaire CEO Lucien Moretti shocks the city with sudden engagement—”“Sources claim the mysterious woman has been secretly involved with Moretti for months—”“Questions are already rising regarding the timing of the announcement amid ongoing tensions within the Moretti empire—” Photos flooded the screen. Pictures of Lucien entering buildings. Pictures of her beside him from earlier that day. Headlines. Speculation. Rumors. It felt like her entire life had been ripped away overnight and handed to strangers for entertainment. “I can’t breathe.” The words slipped out quietly. Lucien looked up from his phone immediately.“You’re fine.”“No, I’m not.” Aria stood abruptly and walked away from the television, wrapping her arms tightly around herself. “This is insane.” She laughed shakil

  • The Billionaires ruin   Dangerous Care

    Aria stood frozen for half a second after Lucien actually sat down. She hadn’t expected him to listen. A man like Lucien Moretti didn’t seem like the type to take orders from anyone. Yet there he was, sitting calmly on the edge of the leather sofa while blood slowly stained the white fabric beneath his shirt. Watching her. Waiting. The realization made her suddenly nervous again.“Well?” he asked quietly. Aria cleared her throat quickly and forced herself to move. “I need a first aid kit.” Without a word, one of the guards near the entrance disappeared immediately. That alone reminded her exactly who she was dealing with. Lucien didn’t ask for things. People anticipated them. The first aid kit arrived less than a minute later. Aria took it carefully before sitting across from him at the coffee table. Up close, she could see the exhaustion hidden beneath his controlled expression. Faint shadows beneath his eyes. Tension sitting permanently in his shoulders. The kind of exhaustion sleep
