The billionaire who couldn't steal my heart CHAPTER 55: STRIKING CLOSE TO HOME
ANNABELLE POVI woke that morning with a lingering sense of unease. Even after the late-night planning session with Ronan and Alec, something prickled at the edge of my mind—a warning I couldn’t ignore.The first text came just after breakfast. No name and an number that I’ve come to recognize and dread.:“You’ve protected yourself well, but those closest to you… they are vulnerable.”I froze remembering her last words to me, I just hope Sofia and Ronan would be safe..I really hope so, I look at the words again as my heart started to beat rapidly, cutting through the calm I had tried to build. My stomach knotted as I read it for the third time.Ronan, noticing my stillness, stepped closer. “Annabelle… who is it?”I shook my head, pressing my phone to my chest. “It’s… Victoria. She’s making her next move.”Ronan’s jaw tightened. “What move might that be?” I didn’t even bother saying anything, I just handed my phone to him. He looked up sharply at me as his face contorted in anger. “Tar
The billionaire who couldn't steal my heart CHAPTER 54: COUNTERSTRIKES AND SHADOWS
ANNABELLE POVThe sun hadn’t even fully risen when I was already sitting at my desk in my living room, the city still quiet outside the window, oblivious to the war brewing inside these walls.Ronan was already there, leaning against the side of the desk, arms crossed. His eyes were dark, alert, restless. Alec sat opposite me, flipping through the documents we had gathered yesterday, his movements precise, almost mechanical.I inhaled deeply, letting the weight of the past day settle in. Victoria’s subtle strike, her audit, the anonymous tip, the threatening messages. Had indeed rattled me, yes but it had also sharpened something within me.“This isn’t just about where I work anymore,” I murmured, more to myself than to them. “It’s about everything she’s tried to take from me… and I won’t let her win.”Ronan stepped closer, resting a hand lightly on my shoulder. “Annabelle, whatever you decide to do next, we have to be careful. She’s watching every move and anticipating it all. One wr
The billionaire who couldn't steal my heart CHAPTER 53: THE PRICE OF DEFIANCE
ANNABELLE POVThe moment I walked into the office that morning, I knew something was off.The receptionist, normally calm and precise, avoided my eyes. The hum of computers felt sharper somehow, the air was thicker and my instincts, honed through months of fear and uncertainty, prickled with warning.“Annabelle,” Lara called from her desk, voice tight and uneasy. “You… you need to see this.”I followed her to the back office and my heart was pounding as she handed me a stack of papers. I barely recognized my own name in bold headlines.“Annabelle Blackthorne Under Investigation for Financial Irregularities?”I blinked as my vision blurred, my hands trembling slightly.“This… this isn’t real,” I whispered.She shook her head. “It is. They called an anonymous tip to your company’s headquarters last night. They’re looking into every transaction you’ve made since you started working here. They want a full audit, they said you might be involved in embezzlement.”My stomach dropped, my ches
The billionaire who couldn't steal my heart CHAPTER 52: MAKING A MOVE
ANNABELLE POVI’ve come to learn that power doesn’t announce itself instead it moves quietly and strategically like a shadow sliding across a wall before the storm hits.Even Alex confirmed it and now, sitting in a private conference room with the blinds drawn and the air thick with anticipation, I finally understand what he meant.“This,” Alec says calmly, sliding a folder across the table toward me, “is where we begin.”Ronan stands beside the window, arms crossed, jaw tight. He hasn’t said much since we arrived but I can feel the tension radiating off him like heat. Marcus is seated across from me, flipping through documents with a frown so deep it looks carved into his face.I open the folder and my breath catches.Inside are screenshots, bank statements, shell companies, timelines—connections so carefully hidden they almost look innocent. Almost.Almost doesn’t save you in court or in war.“This is…” I swallow. “This is enough to bury her.”Alec shakes his head slowly. “No, This
The billionaire who couldn't steal my heart CHAPTER 51: ANNABELLE’S TURNING POINT
ANNABELLE POVI sit alone in my apartment, the city lights flickering against the window. Outside, life continues as if nothing has changed but inside, everything has shifted. Every lie Victoria Blackthorne told, every threat she made, every moment I’ve lived in fear—it all comes rushing back.I close my eyes, trying to steady my racing heart. I think about the courtroom, about the gavel banging, about the way my voice trembled but refused to break and then I think about my other brother, Alec—his presence, his calm control, his words that cut through the chaos like a knife.I can’t let fear rule me anymore.I open my eyes and glance at the stack of papers on my desk: court documents, evidence logs, and notes on Victoria’s past maneuvers. For months, she’s orchestrated every step, manipulating everyone around her. Ronan, Marcus, even the lawyers, they all dance to her tune and for too long, I’ve been reactive. Running, hiding and hoping someone else would protect me.No more. My mothe
The billionaire who couldn't steal my heart CHAPTER 50: ALEC ENTERS THE GAME
ALEC POVThe city skyline glimmers under the fading sun, but I don’t notice it. The lights, the cars, the oblivious people moving about, they’re all irrelevant. All that matters is that crazy woman, Victoria Blackthorne and the chaos she has unleashed again.Ronan is a problem while Annabelle is a vulnerability and Victoria… Victoria is a storm that refuses to be controlled.I pause outside the building where Annabelle has been holed up. There are security cameras everywhere, guards, locked doors, thanks to Ronan but none of it matters. If there’s one thing Harrison Blackthorne taught me it’s how to navigate the world when it hides behind polished surfaces. When it pretends to be untouchable.I take a deep breath and step inside. Once the door is opened by her friend, I see her immediately…Annabelle. She’s sitting at the dining table, surrounded by papers, phones, and the faint remnants of panic. She jumps slightly when I enter, she probably didn’t even hear when I knocked but the fe
