All Chapters of Ruin Me,DADDY: Chapter 181 - Chapter 189

Chapter 55: Young Love in Danger The secure line went dead, but Alexander’s panicked words still echoed in the medical suite like gunshots. *Maya’s gone. Her father took her.* My stomach twisted violently. Maya Voss—sweet, resilient, the girl who had stolen my son’s heart despite the blood feud between our families—was now another pawn in this nightmare. Lucian’s face had transformed from post-intimacy softness into something cold and lethal. Even pale and bandaged, the ruthless billionaire was back in an instant. “We’re not trading you,” he said immediately, voice like steel. “Not for anyone.” I squeezed his hand, grounding us both. “I know. But we’re also not abandoning that girl. Alexander loves her, Lucian. Really loves her. We help her for his sake. As a family.” He stared at me for a long moment, jaw tight. The battle between his protective instincts and the new promise we’d just made—to be true partners—played out ac

Chapter 57: Warehouse ShowdownGunfire shattered the night like thunder.I pressed myself harder against the rusted shipping container, heart slamming against my ribs so violently I could barely breathe. Victoria’s shot meant for Lucian cracked through the air, but he was already moving—twisting with that predatory grace that made him legendary in dark circles. The bullet grazed his shoulder instead of hitting center mass. Blood bloomed on his tactical shirt, but he didn’t slow down.“Lucian!” I screamed, my voice raw.“Stay down, Lila!” His roar cut through the chaos via the earpiece and across the open lot. Even wounded twice now, he was a force of nature—returning fire with deadly accuracy. Two of Derek’s men dropped before they could reach cover.Everything had gone to hell in seconds.Our team poured out from hidden positions. Bella’s voice barked commands over the comms from her sniper perch. “Hostiles at three o’clock! Tak

Chapter 59: Poisoned BloodThe medical suite had become a prison of beeping machines and whispered prayers.I hadn’t left Lucian’s side for fourteen hours. My back ached from the uncomfortable chair pulled right against his bed. My neck wound pulled with every movement, but the pain was nothing compared to watching the strongest man I’d ever known slowly deteriorate in front of my eyes.The poison was winning.Dr. Harlan had increased the dosage of supportive treatments, but the specialized antidote was still hours away—if Bella’s contact came through. Lucian’s skin burned with fever. Sweat slicked his forehead and chest, making the fresh bandages on his shoulder and side cling transparently to his skin. His breathing had grown shallower, more labored.“Lila…” His voice was a cracked rasp.“I’m here.” I leaned forward, pressing a cool cloth to his forehead. My free hand never left his. “Right here, baby. Fight it. Please fight it

**Chapter 61: Old Friend, New Doubts**The weight of Ryan’s words settled over the medical suite like a shroud. *Damian wants her taken alive. He plans to make you watch while he breaks her.* My stomach churned. Lucian’s grip on my hand became iron, his recovering body radiating pure, lethal fury despite the lingering weakness from the poison.Ryan stood awkwardly near the door, hands in his pockets, looking every bit the concerned friend who had inserted himself back into our chaotic lives. His eyes flicked to me with genuine worry—the same steady gaze that had once comforted me during my darkest days with Ethan and Mira. But today, that gaze only seemed to pour gasoline on Lucian’s fire.“You’re sure about this?” Lucian’s voice was dangerously low, each word sharpened like a blade. He tried to sit up straighter, wincing as the movement pulled at his stitches.Ryan nodded. “I’ve been running independent surveillance for weeks. Quietly. I didn’t w

**Chapter 63: Ambush**The world was a blur of shattered glass, gunfire, and Lucian’s solid body shielding mine in the wreckage.My ears rang violently as Lucian dragged me from the mangled SUV, his arm like a steel vice around my waist. Fresh blood trickled from the cut on his forehead, mixing with the sweat of exertion and lingering poison recovery. He shouldn’t have been moving like this. He should have been in bed, healing. Instead, he was roaring orders like the ruthless king he was.“Stay low!” he barked, firing two precise shots into the darkness. A masked assailant dropped behind a concrete pillar.Bella was already in motion, dragging Chuck behind cover while returning fire with deadly accuracy. “They’ve got us pinned! Extraction ETA ninety seconds!”Alexander and Maya had been in the rear SUV. I spotted them scrambling from their damaged vehicle, Alexander half-carrying Maya whose face was pale with terror. My heart clenched. Th
