The rhythmic hum of the private jet filled the cabin, a stark contrast to the turbulence that had once dominated their lives. Sophia sat by the window, gazing at the endless stretch of clouds below, the golden hues of sunset painting the sky in shades of fire and honey.

Beside her, Adrian poured them both a glass of wine, his fingers brushing hers as he handed her the crystal flute. "To new beginnings," he murmured, his deep voice sending a shiver down her spine.

She turned to him, her heart swelling. "To us."

Their glasses clinked softly, the sound a quiet promise between them. Sophia took a sip, letting the crisp taste linger on her tongue before setting her glass down. She watched Adrian, the way the warm glow of the cabin lights softened his sharp features. For years, he had built walls around himself, but here, now, they were gone.

"You’re staring," he said, a smirk tugging at his lips.

Sophia rolled her eyes playfully. "Maybe I just like what I see."

Adrian chuckled, setti

  • The billionaire's secret vows    Chapter 76 – The Reckoning Begins

    The boardroom at Blackwood Global was a glass fortress—high above the city, suspended between ambition and judgment. Every seat was filled. Shareholders, executives, legal teams, and media advisors watched with wary eyes as Adrian Blackwood entered, cane in hand, jaw set like steel.He didn’t limp for effect. He didn’t need to. Every inch of him radiated command, and today, he wasn’t playing the crippled recluse.He was the man reclaiming his name.Sophia followed him inside, poised and unshakable, a storm in heels and silk. The room shifted as they moved. Whispers buzzed. Mercer hadn’t arrived yet—but his absence was its own threat.Adrian reached the head of the table, placed the flash drive down like a sword.“This meeting is no longer about quarterly earnings,” he said, voice calm but carrying. “It’s about truth.”A few chuckles escaped. Someone tried to speak—but Adrian raised a hand.“I won’t waste your time. For years, this company has been shadowed by one man’s control—Victor

  • The billionaire's secret vows    Chapter 75 – Deals with the Devil

    The city glimmered below like a thousand secrets, each light a whisper of stories no one dared tell.Lauren Evans stepped into the old Blackstone Warehouse at the pier—once a shell company for Adrian’s early holdings, now abandoned. Dust clung to the floor, and the silence hummed with memories. This was where she’d helped him fake the medical records. Where they’d first begun the charade.Now it felt like a graveyard.She didn’t flinch when Sophia emerged from the shadows.“I thought you’d bring security,” Lauren said flatly.“I figured if you were going to kill me, you wouldn’t have waited this long.”A beat of silence passed. Lauren smirked. “Fair enough.”Sophia crossed her arms, her expression unreadable. “Why did you come?”Lauren let out a slow breath. “Because I’m tired. Of Mercer. Of lies. Of pretending like I don’t know who I became.”“Then do something about it.”Lauren walked past her, stopping by the crates stacked like forgotten ghosts. “I gave everything to Adrian. Loyal

    The silence in the hospital room was thick—too thick.Sophia sat by Adrian’s bedside, her fingers curled around his, her thumb tracing circles over his knuckles. He hadn’t spoken since they brought him in. Not much, anyway. Just mumbled fragments in between waves of pain and morphine.But now, in the sterile quiet of the private recovery suite, there was no distraction left. No tunnel walls. No gunfire. No one but the two of them—and the questions that hung in the air like ghosts.Adrian stirred. His eyelids fluttered open, slowly adjusting to the dim light. His gaze found hers instantly, like a magnet to steel.“Hey,” she whispered.He tried to smile. It was more of a grimace. “Hey.”Sophia leaned in, brushing his damp hair back from his forehead. “You scared me. Again.”“I know.” His voice was raw, raspy. “I’m sorry.”“You don’t have to be sorry for getting shot,” she murmured, voice trembling with the effort to stay light.His eyes searched hers, dark and unreadable. “Not just for

    Rain fell softly.Not a downpour. Not a storm. Just a quiet drizzle, like the world was trying to wash away the blood and lies that had soaked too deep into their bones.Sophia sat by Adrian’s hospital bed, a thin blanket draped around her shoulders. Her clothes were still damp from the forest, her knuckles scraped, her body sore. But none of that mattered. Not when the man lying unconscious beside her had nearly died—for the second time in as many weeks.The machines around them beeped with steady rhythm, his chest rising and falling with every breath. Each one was a small victory. Proof that he was still here.Still hers.Her fingers hovered near his, close enough to feel his warmth but afraid to touch him, as if contact would shatter the fragile peace that hung between life and loss. The room was dimly lit, shadows cast by the blinking monitors. The sterile scent of antiseptic clung to the air, mixing with the faint aroma of rain from the window left slightly ajar.It reminded her

    Sophia couldn’t move.Her back was against the damp stone wall, Adrian beside her, barely upright, bleeding and pale. But it wasn’t his condition that stole her breath this time—it was the gun pointed straight at them.Lauren stood just feet away, framed by the flickering tunnel light, dressed in her usual tailored black but with an edge to her presence that Sophia had never seen before. Her cool, professional poise was still intact, but her eyes… they were wild. Sharp. Dangerous.Adrian's jaw tightened. “Lauren. You’re working with Mercer.”Lauren smiled, slow and cold. “Well, someone had to clean up after your messes. And Mercer offered a better position.”Sophia’s voice was barely a whisper. “You were his assistant. You said you believed in Adrian. That you chose him.”“I did.” Lauren’s expression faltered—just for a second. “But belief only gets you so far when you're treated like you’re invisible. Disposable. Do you even remember the last time you actually thanked me, Adrian?”Ad

    The tunnel stretched on endlessly, winding through the cold earth like a forgotten secret. The only light came from Simon’s flashlight, flickering against the damp stone walls. Sophia kept her hand entwined with Adrian’s, though his grip had loosened—his steps slower, staggered. She could feel it now more than ever: his body was failing him.“Adrian,” she said softly, her voice barely rising above the echo of their footsteps. “You’re bleeding again.”“I’m fine.” His answer was mechanical, like it had been all night.She halted, refusing to move until he turned to face her. “No, you’re not.”He tried to tug her forward, but his strength faltered. The moment his weight shifted, he stumbled against the wall, groaning under his breath.Simon spun around. “That’s it. We’re stopping. He’s losing too much blood.”“I said I’m—” Adrian’s protest faded as his knees buckled.“Adrian!” Sophia caught him, her arms wrapping around his waist as he slumped into her.Simon moved fast, shrugging off hi
