All Chapters of Ride Or Ruin The Biker Who Owned My Soul: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Elara’s POVThe photograph stayed on Ruin’s phone screen longer than either of us expected. It showed me standing near the estate wall with my hand resting on my abdomen. The angle suggested it had been taken from a distance, possibly from the tree line or one of the surrounding rooftops.The message below the image remained simple.Congratulations.My chest tightened as I looked at it. Ruin lowered the phone slowly, and the tension in his expression hardened into something colder.“They were close enough to photograph you,” he said.“Yes,” I replied.His eyes moved briefly toward the dark perimeter of the property. Riders still stood guard near the gates, and several men were inspecting the security cameras and outer walls.“They are watching every move,” Axel said as he approached us again.Ruin handed him the phone without speaking.Axel studied the image carefully. “That is recent,” he said.“Yes,” Ruin replied.“They know about the pregnancy already,” Axel added quietly.The word

Elara’s POVThe night air outside the club carried the sharp smell of smoke and metal. I stood near the shattered entrance while chaos unfolded around us. The first battle against the Bratva had begun only an hour earlier, yet it already felt as though the night had stretched into something endless.Men shouted orders across the courtyard. Engines roared as armored SUVs repositioned along the street. The bright club lights flickered over broken glass and dark stains on the pavement.The situation was not how I imagined my life would turn out. Ruin swept through the scene with the intensity of a relentless storm. His coat hung open as he issued commands to the remaining fighters. His voice stayed calm, but the tightness in his shoulders revealed how much pressure he carried.I wrapped my arms around myself and forced my breathing to stay steady. My body still felt weak from the sickness I continued to hide. The knowledge of the child growing inside me made every gunshot echo deeper in

Elara’s POVThe room smelled faintly of antiseptic and clean linen when I opened my eyes. For several seconds I could not remember where I was. The ceiling above me looked unfamiliar, and the low hum of medical equipment filled the quiet space. My body felt heavy as if I had been sleeping for days.Then the memories returned all at once. The battle unfolded as Ruin collapsed into the SUV and the safe house, while the medic shouted that I was bleeding.My heart jumped violently inside my chest.I pushed myself upright too quickly. A sharp wave of dizziness forced me to grab the edge of the bed. The movement caught the medic's attention, who stood across the room, reviewing something on a tablet.“You should not sit up so fast,” he said as he approached.“Where is Ruin?” I asked immediately.The medic placed a steady hand on my shoulder. “He is alive.”Relief rushed through me so strongly that my eyes stung.“Is he awake?”“He regained consciousness an hour ago.”“Why did nobody wake me

Elara’s POVThe safe house remained tense long after the report about the Bratva vehicles reached us. The men moved through the hallways with controlled urgency. Some carried weapons, while others spoke quietly into radios. Every door stayed locked, and every window remained covered.I stood near the kitchen counter while watching them prepare for the possibility of an attack.Ruin had ordered everyone to stay alert, but he refused to leave his bed despite the danger outside. The medic had threatened to sedate him if he tried to stand again.I knew Ruin hated feeling helpless. I also knew he would ignore every medical warning if the situation worsened.Axel walked into the kitchen with his usual confident stride. His dark hair still looked damp from the shower he had taken earlier.“You look like someone who has been thinking too much,” he said as he grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator.“I have a good reason to think too much,” I replied.“That sounds serious.”“Ruin was s

Elara’s POVThe moment Ruin said the words about the timer, every sound around me seemed to fade. The guard beside me stared at the radio as if he hoped the device would suddenly correct itself.“What kind of timer?” he asked into the receiver.The answer came after a short pause.“Industrial explosives,” Ruin said. “The wiring runs along the support beams and the center floor.”My pulse hammered in my ears.“How much time?” the guard asked.Another pause followed. “Ten minutes,” Ruin replied.The guard cursed quietly. I felt the blood drain from my face.Ten minutes.That amount of time was barely enough to escape the building, let alone free Axel and dismantle the explosives.“What is your plan?” the guard asked.Ruin’s voice stayed calm. “We cut Axel free and leave immediately.”“And the explosives?”“They will detonate after we are gone.”I stepped closer to the guard. “What about the surrounding buildings?” I asked.He hesitated before repeating my question on the radio.Ruin ans
