The billionaire who never wanted a bride chapter 10 : What the flames could not destroy
The room felt colder after they left. Not because of the air, but because something vital had been taken with them. Isabella sat on the edge of the hospital bed, her mother’s hand clasped tightly in hers. The steady rise and fall of her chest was the only thing keeping Isabella grounded in reality. Every few seconds, she checked the monitor, half expecting it to betray her again. Her mother stirred slowly, eyelids fluttering. “Bella?” her mother whispered. Isabella leaned forward instantly. “I am here. You are safe.” Her mother’s eyes focused on her face, confusion knitting her brow. “There were men. They said they were doctors.” Isabella swallowed. “It is over now.” But even as she said it, she knew it was a lie. Alexander stood a few feet away, phone pressed to his ear, issuing orders in a voice so controlled it bordered on lethal. “I want every exit tracked. Every camera pulled. If anyone accessed this floor without clearance, I want names within the hour.” He ended the

The hospital lights were too bright.They burned Isabella’s eyes as the car screeched to a halt at the emergency entrance, the sound of sirens still echoing behind them. Alexander was already out of the vehicle before the engine fully died, gripping her hand as if letting go might make her disappear.Everything smelled like antiseptic and fear.“They said Saint Mary’s,” Isabella whispered, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it might crack her ribs. “This is where my mother comes for her checkups.”Alexander’s face was rigid, unreadable. “Which is exactly why they chose it.”Security guards glanced their way as they moved quickly through the sliding doors, but one look at Alexander’s expression made no one dare to stop them. Phones were already ringing. Doctors and nurses rushed past, unaware that a war was unfolding in their hallways.Alexander pressed his phone to his ear. “Lock the building down quietly. No alarms. No panic. If they hear chaos, she dies.”He ended the call and

The city looked peaceful from above.That was the cruelest lie of all.Isabella stood by the penthouse window, phone clutched tightly in her hand, the image of her mother burned into her mind. The photo had been taken only minutes ago. She could tell by the familiar crack in the pavement outside their old apartment, the same one she had stepped over a thousand times as a child.They were close.Too close.“They cannot touch her,” Isabella repeated, her voice barely more than a whisper.Alexander stood a few feet away, his posture rigid, his face carved from stone. His phone was pressed to his ear, his voice low and lethal as he issued orders to his security team.“Lock down every Voss property. Double surveillance on Saint Mary’s Hospital. I want eyes on every board member and their private assets. Now.”He ended the call and turned to her.“They will not take her,” he said firmly.“You do not know that,” Isabella replied, her chest tight with panic. “They already found her. That me
The billionaire who never wanted a bride chapter 7: The Truth Between us
Morning arrived quietly, as if the city itself was exhausted from the violence of the night before. The rain had stopped, leaving Manhattan washed and gleaming, but inside the penthouse, nothing felt clean.Isabella sat on the edge of the guest room bed, hands clasped tightly in her lap. She had not slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw shadows moving through rain, heard gunfire tearing the night apart, felt fear gripping her chest until breathing became difficult.The room still smelled faintly of antiseptic and cold air. Security had swept through hours earlier, checking every corner, every window, every entrance. They had left behind silence and questions no one was eager to answer.The door opened softly.Alexander stepped inside.He was not wearing a suit. No sharp lines. No polished armor. Just a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and exhaustion written plainly across his face. He looked different this way. Older. Humans. And somehow more dangerous because of it.“Y

The penthouse was silent, the storm outside having passed, leaving only a damp chill and the lingering smell of gunpowder. Isabella sat on the edge of the couch, fingers tracing the cold marble, still trembling from the night’s chaos. The city lights flickered like distant stars, oblivious to the chaos within these walls. Alexander leaned against the window, his silhouette sharp against the glow. His gray eyes were fixed on the horizon, unblinking, unreadable. He hadn’t spoken since the security team left, and the quiet pressed on Isabella’s chest. “I can’t believe this,” she said finally, her voice low, shaking. “They tried to kill me. And for what? Just because you married me?” Alexander’s jaw tightened. “Not because you married me. Because you exist in their world now.” Her pulse quickened. “Their world?” He turned to her, expression dark. “The board. My father’s enemies. They’ve been waiting for a reason to move. You were it.” Isabella stared at him. Her stomach churn

The silence after the gunfire was worse than the noise itself.It pressed in on Isabella’s ears until all she could hear was her own breathing ragged, uneven, terrified. Glass crunched beneath Alexander’s shoes as he slowly lifted his head, scanning the shattered windows, the dark city beyond.“Stay down,” he said quietly.She didn’t argue. Her body refused to move.Somewhere far below, sirens wailed louder now, echoing between buildings. The sound felt unreal, like something happening in another life.Alexander reached for his phone, fingers moving fast, controlled. “This is Voss,” he said when the call connected. “Penthouse breach. Four shots minimum. West-facing windows. I want a full sweep now.”He ended the call and finally looked at her.Blood streaked down his temple.Her heart stuttered. “You’re hurt.”“It’s nothing.”“You’re bleeding.”“I said it’s nothing.”His voice softened when he saw her hands shaking uncontrollably. He crouched in front of her, placing his hands over he
