The Ruthless Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 34
Lucas paced in his office, his jaw clenched as he skimmed through the latest reports on his desk. The walls were closing in.Adrian was getting too close to the truth.For years, Lucas had orchestrated everything with precision—pulling strings from the shadows, making sure Elena took the fall while he walked away untouched.He had played his role well, wearing the mask of a loyal right-hand man, always standing by Adrian’s side, always trusted.And it had worked.Adrian had turned against the woman he loved. The deal had gone through. Lucas had climbed the ranks, solidifying his position.But now…Now, everything was falling apart.His fingers twitched as he sat down at his desk, gripping his pen so tight. He needed to think. To fix this.The missing files.The bank transfer Elena had uncovered.One by one, the loose ends were slipping from his control.Lucas closed his eyes, inhaling deeply, trying to steady the rising panic in his chest. He had worked too hard for too long to let it

Adrian stood outside Lucas’s office, his jaw tight, his hands clenched into fists. He hadn’t planned to stop here—his focus had been to get to his own office and see what he can do.But then, as he passed by, he heard his name.And Elena’s.Something in Lucas’s voice made him stop.Inside the office, Lucas paced back and forth, his voice tense."You think I wanted things to turn out this way?" he snapped at whoever was on the other end of the call. "Do you think I planned for Adrian to find out?"Adrian’s heart pounded.Find out what?He leaned against the wall, listening.Lucas exhaled sharply. "I did what I had to do. If I hadn’t set Elena up, she would’ve ruined everything. She was getting too close. If Adrian had listened to her back then, you think pulling the money will be that easy? I had to set her up as a cover for it."Adrian’s breath caught in his throat.Set her up.The words echoed in his mind, slamming into him like a fist.For years, he had believed Elena had betrayed h

Adrian barely slept that night.Lucas’s confession echoed in his mind, a cruel reminder of how deeply he had been deceived.He had spent years trusting Lucas, and all along, the man had been orchestrating a betrayal so elaborate, so ruthless, that Adrian felt like a fool for not seeing it sooner.When morning came, it did so with unrelenting chaos.His phone vibrated constantly—calls, messages, emails flooding in at an alarming rate. Of course, something was wrong, but, Adrain wasn't bothered about it.Then, in the office, Sophie burst into his office, her face pale and eyes wide with urgency."Sir, you need to see this."Adrian took the tablet she handed him, the blood in his veins turning ice-cold as he read the headline splashed across the screen.EXPOSED: Lucas’s Secret Deals and Shady Transactions Unveiled.His grip on the tablet tightened. Beneath the headline was a leaked report, an exposé detailing years of fraudulent transactions, backdoor dealings, and off-the-record financi

The scandal surrounding Lucas had erupted like wildfire, spreading faster than anyone could contain it.Every news outlet ran the story in relentless cycles, dissecting every detail, every transaction, every whisper of betrayal.The company's investors were panicking, and Adrian knew one thing for certain—Lucas wouldn’t go down without a fight.He had already vanished from the public eye, slipping into the shadows like a man who had rehearsed his escape plan long before the storm hit.Adrian clenched his jaw.Lucas was covering his tracks.But Adrian wasn’t about to let him get away with it."Sir, we’ve gone through every financial report for the last five years, as you instructed," Sophie said, walking into his office with a thick folder in her hands. Her usually calm demeanor was edged with urgency. "Lucas hid things well, but we found inconsistencies in the overseas accounts."Adrian took the folder and flipped through the pages, his sharp eyes scanning the numbers. The patterns em

Adrian sat in his office, the soft glow of his laptop screen casting harsh shadows across his face. His jaw was clenched, his breathing steady but tense, as his eyes darted over the damning emails displayed before him—the emails from the flash drive Elena had given him.Each message was another blade to the truth—sharp, undeniable, and brutal. Another nail in Lucas’s coffin.Lucas had orchestrated everything.The financial leaks.The deception.The ruin of Elena’s career and reputation.Adrian’s fingers curled into fists, his nails digging into his palms. The weight of the past pressed down on him, heavier now than ever before. For years, he had believed a lie—one so meticulously crafted that he had never thought to question it.He had walked away from Elena, turned his back on her without hesitation, condemning her for something she had never done.And now, the proof sat before him.It wasn’t enough.It would never be enough.He needed more.Something irrefutable.Something that woul

Adrian clenched his jaw so tightly it ached. His pulse pounded in his ears, and his hands curled into fists at his sides. He wanted to hunt Lucas down, drag him back, and make him pay for every single thing he had done.For the betrayal.For the lies.For what he had taken from Elena.But no amount of justice would undo what had been done to her.No matter what he did now, it wouldn’t erase the years of pain she had endured because of his blindness.The thought gnawed at him, sharp and relentless, as he turned toward the door.Just before he could step out, Sophie’s voice cut through the silence."Sir?"Her face was grim, her usually composed expression carrying a rare weight of concern.Adrian paused, his shoulders stiff."What happened?" she asked.His grip on the doorknob tightened. "Lucas is on the run," he said, the words laced with barely contained fury.Sophie’s eyes widened slightly. "Sir?"She hesitated, studying his face."Are you okay?"A bitter laugh escaped Adrian before

Adrian stood outside Elena’s apartment, his heart pounding harder than it had in years. He had faced ruthless business tycoons, taken risks that could have cost him billions, but nothing had ever felt as terrifying as this moment.Because for the first time, he had no control over the outcome.He had rehearsed the words in his head over and over, but now that he was here, they felt meaningless. What could he possibly say to undo the years of pain he had caused?Lifting his hand, he knocked.Seconds stretched into eternity before the door creaked open.Elena stood there, her expression unreadable.For a moment, neither of them spoke.Then, she exhaled sharply. "What are you doing here, Adrian?"Her voice wasn’t angry, but it wasn’t welcoming either.Adrian swallowed. "I need to talk to you."Elena crossed her arms. "I don’t think we have anything left to say."She tried to shut the door, but Adrian caught it gently, not forcing it—just pleading."Please," he said. "Just hear me out."S

The Ruthless Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 141
The private jet lifted smoothly into the evening sky, slicing through layers of clouds bathed in the golden hues of the setting sun.Inside, Adrian and Elena sat side by side, fingers loosely intertwined, the weight of the past months slowly dissolving with every mile that carried them away from the chaos they had conquered.It wasn’t just a trip.It was a declaration.A declaration that they had survived.That they had emerged victorious.And now, it was time to truly breathe again.The destination was a well-guarded secret, carefully selected by Adrian himself:A hidden island in the Mediterranean, known only to a few, where white sand beaches stretched into infinity and the waters shimmered in endless shades of blue and green.The world could wait.They had earned this.Arrival at ParadiseThe jet touched down smoothly on a private runway tucked between lush palms.A sleek black car awaited them, its driver greeting them with a respectful nod before whisking them along a winding co

The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting golden beams over the towering skyline.For Adrian and Elena, it was more than just the end of a day.It was the end of an era of betrayal—and the beginning of a reign no one could challenge.After the thunderous conference that shook the city's business world, the ripple effects were immediate and unstoppable.Phone lines buzzed.Emails flooded in.Messages of congratulations, partnership offers, and investment proposals poured into the company headquarters, one after the other, as if the heavens themselves had opened in their favor.Top executives from around the world who had once been hesitant—cautious to align themselves with a company mired in scandal—now rushed to forge new alliances.Within 24 hours:Three major international corporations signed fresh partnership deals with Adrian's company.Investment firms scrambled to buy stakes, their confidence in Adrian’s leadership soaring.Prestigious philanthropic foundations offered collabor

The day had come.The city buzzed with anticipation.Whispers had already started circulating through media houses, financial circles, and social platforms:Adrian would make a public statement today.No one knew exactly what to expect.Was he stepping down? Announcing bankruptcy? Surrendering?They couldn’t have been more wrong.The conference venue was a masterpiece of design—elegant and powerful, a mirror of Adrian's legacy. Thick marble columns lined the entrance, and luxurious carpets paved the way to the stage, where a massive backdrop displayed the company’s emblem in bold gold letters.Security was tight.Top executives, loyal board members, press agencies, and investors gathered. Their murmurs filled the vast hall, blending curiosity with tension.Inside a private waiting room, Adrian stood before a full-length mirror.He adjusted his dark suit—a deep navy tailored perfectly to his recovering frame. His shoulder was still bandaged beneath the fabric, but he carried himself ta

The soft murmur of the household quieted as the evening crept in, but inside Adrian's estate, the fire had just been lit — not in the hearth, but in the hearts of Adrian and Elena.Adrian sat in the lounge, dressed in a comfortable but elegant set of dark clothing, his injured shoulder carefully supported. The doctors' words still echoed in his mind: "Take it easy. Build your strength."But Adrian had never been the kind of man to sit idle while the world moved around him.Especially not now.Elena entered the room, a tablet and a thick file of papers in her arms. She set them down carefully on the coffee table in front of him and took a seat by his side, her expression serious but calm."You shouldn’t stress yourself yet," Elena said softly, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear.Adrian reached out, covering her hand with his. "Sitting still isn’t healing me, Elena. Planning our next move is."She saw the fire in his eyes—the determination, the quiet fury—and she knew better than to

The day had finally come.After days of careful treatment, endless tests, physical therapy sessions, and emotional battles fought silently in the quiet hospital room, Adrian was ready to go home.It was a crisp morning—the kind of morning that smelled like new beginnings. The sun gleamed against the hospital windows, lighting the room with a soft, golden glow. It felt symbolic, as if even the heavens recognized the rebirth happening inside these four walls.Elena stood by Adrian’s side as the doctor completed the final discharge procedures. She clutched his hand tightly, her fingers warm and reassuring around his."Congratulations, Mr. Adrian," the doctor said with a smile. "You’ve defied the odds. Your recovery has been nothing short of remarkable. Just make sure you take it easy for the next few weeks. No heavy stress, no strenuous activities yet. Let your body continue to heal."Adrian nodded, gratitude filling his chest. "Thank you, doctor. For everything."The doctor patted his g

Morning came with a soft, golden light flooding the hospital room. The air was lighter somehow, infused with a sense of hope that had been missing for days. Elena sat by Adrain’s side, her hand intertwined with his as he drifted between sleep and wakefulness. This time, it wasn’t the heavy, unconscious kind of sleep—it was natural, healing.When the doctors arrived for their rounds, they were greeted by the sight of Adrain awake and more aware than the day before."Good morning, Mr. Adrian," the head doctor said with a wide smile. "Ready for a little work?"Adrian gave a faint smirk. "I’ve been working all my life. What’s a little more?"Elena chuckled softly, squeezing his hand.The doctors set about their task with efficiency, conducting a series of tests and scans. They wheeled in portable imaging machines, taking fresh X-rays of his shoulder and his chest. Blood was drawn to check for infections or hidden complications. Heart monitors were attached to assess the rhythm and strengt
The Ruthless Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 135
The hospital room was hushed, bathed in the golden hue of the late afternoon sun filtering through the blinds. The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor had become a strange kind of lullaby to Elena, as she sat upright, holding Adrain’s hand like a lifeline.It had been days now. Days of endless waiting, silent prayers whispered into the sterile air, and tireless vigilance.Elena’s eyes fluttered open after a brief doze. As she shifted slightly, her phone buzzed on the small table beside her. Picking it up with careful hands, she quickly dialed a number — the chief house staff.The call connected immediately."Hello ma'am," the man’s voice was steady and respectful.Elena didn’t waste time. "Please make sure the house keeps running. I want everything maintained as usual. No changes. No slackness. I need the house ready for Adrain when he returns home.""Of course, ma'am, "he responded without hesitation. "I'll oversee everything personally. Everything will be perfect for Mr. Adrain's
The Ruthless Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 134
The hours dragged by with agonizing slowness.Elena remained rooted to the chair beside Adrain’s hospital bed, her hand never leaving his. The steady beep of the heart monitor was the only assurance she had that he was still here with her, still fighting his silent battle to wake up. Despite the doctor’s reassurances, a small, stubborn part of her heart refused to relax. Not until she saw his eyes open and heard his voice.She refused to leave him.Not even for a second.Nurses came and went, quietly checking vitals, changing IV bags, and recording notes, but Elena barely noticed them. Her whole world had narrowed down to the rhythmic rise and fall of Adrain’s chest.Sitting there, in the dim, sterile light of the hospital room, her mind couldn’t help but drift—back through time, reliving the journey they had traveled together. The memories played like an old movie reel before her tired eyes.She remembered the first time she met Adrain, the strength in his voice, the kindness hidden
The Ruthless Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 133
The soft murmur of voices around her slowly pulled Elena from the depths of her sleep. Her body, sore and stiff from the long hours of remaining in the same position, slowly began to stir. The cool surface of Adrain's hand beneath hers was the only comfort she needed to anchor herself in the waking world.She shifted, trying to blink the sleep from her eyes, feeling the weight of exhaustion still hanging on her shoulders. As her gaze focused, she realized the warmth she had sought in her sleep wasn’t the faint echo of her own body, but Adrain's hand, still clasped in hers.She didn’t want to let go. But she had to.A soft knock on the door broke the quiet."Mrs. Elena?"The voice was kind and familiar, and Elena turned toward the sound, her eyes still bleary from the long night of worrying. The doctor entered, a warm smile already playing on his lips. He was the same doctor who had reassured her last night, and his calm presence helped settle the anxiety that had started to rise in he
