The Ruthless Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 8
What was Adrian going to say?Elena wasn’t sure she wanted to hear it.The air around the dinner table thickened, the weight of unspoken words pressing against her chest. The client, a seasoned businessman with years of experience reading people, watched Adrian closely, waiting for his response.Adrian held the client’s gaze, his expression unreadable. Then, in a calm, controlled voice, he said, “Elena stays because I say so.”A quiet chuckle rumbled from the client’s throat. He leaned back, swirling the wine in his glass. “That’s not an answer, Adrian.”Adrian’s smirk was sharp as he mirrored the man’s movements, his fingers lightly tapping against his own glass. “It’s the only answer that matters.”Lucas, seated beside the client, raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued by the sudden tension.The client tilted his head, studying Adrian with interest. “So, you’re saying you trust her?”Adrian’s jaw tightened slightly, a flicker of something unreadable passing through his gaze. “I’m sayi

Adrian dropped Elena at home and went straight to his office. The drive back had been silent, tension hanging thick in the air between them. He hadn’t looked at her when she stepped out of the car. He hadn’t spoken a single word. And yet, something in him had shifted.Now, alone in his office, he loosened his tie and sat down, his chair creaking under his weight. The city stretched endlessly beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, the twinkling lights a stark contrast to the storm brewing inside him. His fingers pressed against his temples, but nothing could stop the memories from crashing over him.Elena had been his everything once.He had met her at a corporate gala—one of those lavish events where everyone was trying to impress someone. It had been a room filled with power-hungry executives, men and women who measured their worth by the weight of their wallets.But she hadn’t been like them.She had been sharp, ambitious, fearless. Yet beneath all that confidence, there had been some

Back to the office and work was going well.Elena had just finished sorting through reports when a sharp, purposeful knock echoed against her office door.It wasn’t hesitant. It wasn’t polite.She already knew who it was.Lucas.Sighing, she placed the documents aside, straightened her shoulders, and braced herself. “Come in.”The door swung open, and Lucas stepped inside with his usual calculated composure, his face unreadable.But Elena wasn’t fooled.Beneath that calm façade, his sharp gaze carried an undercurrent of distrust—a silent, relentless accusation.He closed the door behind him with a quiet click, crossed his arms over his chest, and fixed her with a steady stare. "We need to talk."Elena leaned back in her chair, forcing herself to appear unaffected. "I can't imagine we have much to say to each other."Lucas let out a dry laugh, though there was no amusement in his eyes. "You’d be surprised."He moved forward, resting his hands on her desk, leaning just enough to make hi

Elena sat alone in her office, her fingers trembling as she clutched the pen in her hand. The reports in front of her blurred, the words swimming together, meaningless.She blinked rapidly, trying to push back the burning sensation in her eyes, but it was no use.Lucas’s words from earlier echoed in her mind."You should have stayed away, Elena.""You’re poking a bear that won’t hesitate to strike."She wasn’t afraid of him. Or at least, she told herself she wasn’t. But it wasn’t just about Lucas. It was the whispers in the office, the way people looked at her, the way the weight of the past never seemed to leave her alone.She had thought she could handle it. That if she kept her head down and focused on her work, things would eventually settle.But she was wrong.A sharp knock at the door made her flinch. She quickly wiped at her eyes, forcing herself to straighten.“Come in,” she said, her voice strained but steady.The door opened, and Adrian stepped inside.Elena’s breath caught.

Elena was buried in paperwork when the knock came. The door opened, and Adrian stepped inside.Even without looking, she felt his presence. It was the kind that took over a room effortlessly, making everything else feel smaller in comparison.Her back straightened instinctively.She had been careful since their last conversation—since that handkerchief. Careful not to let her emotions slip.She couldn’t afford to.Adrian leaned against her desk, arms crossed, watching her with the kind of patience that unnerved her."Pack your bags," he said.Elena blinked. "Excuse me?""We’re leaving tomorrow."Her frown deepened. "Leaving? For what?""A business trip." His tone was matter-of-fact, as if this was already decided.She put her pen down and met his gaze. "You want me to go with you?"Adrian’s expression didn’t waver. "Yes. I need someone who understands this deal. Someone sharp, quick on their feet."She let out a small, humorless laugh. "And you think that’s me?""You wouldn’t be here

The city was alive with soft golden lights.Elena sat at the small balcony table, her fingers wrapped around a glass of wine she had barely touched. The evening air was crisp, but not cold enough to make her go inside. She needed the fresh air, the space to think.She shouldn’t have come.This trip was a mistake.Everywhere she turned, memories clawed at her—old wounds that she had fought so hard to bury. And worse, Adrian was here, stirring up everything she had locked away."You always did love city lights." Adrain said.Elena stiffened.She turned slightly, finding Adrian leaning against the doorframe, his sharp eyes watching her. He was holding a drink, though she doubted he’d had much of it.She swallowed hard and looked away. "You remember that?"His voice was quiet. "I remember a lot of things."Silence stretched between them, heavy with unspoken words.Adrian finally moved, stepping out onto the balcony. He pulled out the chair opposite hers and sat down. His presence was too

They were back from their trip, and Adrian was already in his office, but the tension in Adrian’s office was suffocating.Lucas stood across from him, hands clenched into fists at his sides. His usual composed expression was gone, replaced by something fierce and desperate."You need to stay away from her," Lucas said, his voice low but firm.Adrian leaned back in his chair, his expression was unreadable. He had expected this confrontation sooner or later, but seeing the sheer determination in Lucas’s eyes irritated him."Why?" Adrian asked coolly.Lucas’s jaw tightened. "This isn’t a game, Adrian. I’m trying to protect you."Adrian let out a humorless chuckle. "Protect me? From what? From Elena?"Lucas flinched, but he didn’t back down. "She betrayed you."Adrian’s gaze darkened. "Did she?"Lucas stiffened. "You’re starting to doubt it, aren’t you?"Adrian didn’t respond.Something had shifted inside him after last night.Elena’s words still echoed in his mind—Because I never stopped

The office was unusually quiet. Most employees had left for the day, leaving only the soft hum of the air conditioning and the occasional rustle of papers. Elena sat at her desk, staring at the computer screen, but her mind was elsewhere.Lucas’s warning from the other day still echoed in her head."Leave before it’s too late."Why was he so desperate to push her away?Sighing, she rubbed her temples. There were too many unanswered questions, and the past was pressing in on her like a heavy weight.She needed to focus.Adrian had assigned her a report to review before his next meeting. It was a standard financial summary—nothing unusual. She flipped through the documents, scanning numbers and signatures.Then something caught her eye.A file, slightly thicker than the others, was wedged between the reports. The label on the folder read: "Confidential – The Elena Deal."Elena’s heartbeat quickened."The Elena Deal? What was this all about?" She said.Her hands trembled slightly as she

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 Ruthless Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 137
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
