Ruined By Design Novels & Stories

"Next time, we build a home." The Penthouse: The Ruin of Order Silas sat in the darkness of the MOCAA penthouse. The windows were shattered, the cold Atlantic wind whistling through the room. His white suit was charred, his hands trembling. The "Architect’s Workspace" in his mind was a smoking ruin, the white void filled with the jagged, unyielding shapes of Cape Granite. He looked out at his dark city. "She didn't fight the design," he whispered to the wind. "She used the design against itself. She... she adapted."

I had been careful not to leave fingerprints, and I would be long gone before anyone discovered the damage. I saved Vanya's design studio for last. This was where she created the jewelry patterns that had made her famous, where she spent hours working on the pieces that customers loved so much. It was the heart of her success, and I was going to rip it out. I destroyed her drafting table, smashed her design software, and tore up hundreds of sketches that represented months of creative work. Then I poured paint over everything, making sure that nothing could be recovered or repaired. Standing in the ruins of Vanya's workspace, I felt satisfied for the first time in months. This would teach he

We need to understand each flaws and it’s the same for other people. “Ellaine is a good friend. She knows I don’t want to be entangled with her despite what her father did and so she grabbed a guy from out of nowhere and introduced it to her father as someone she holds dearly in her heart.” I nodded. “Uncle also accepted it and just let Ellaine be happy with whoever she wanted and just like that… she also found herself falling for the same man despite it starting as a pretend to escape an arrange marriage. The two got along well and even came to a point of starting a relationship. They were happy. Ellaine was now happy until…,” he paused for a moment. “…she found Carlos cheating on her.” Dae

“You are trying to dismantle the safeguards we spent ten years building. You are taking a carefully balanced, controlled structure and turning it into something wild. Something unpredictable. Something that could destroy everything we worked to protect.” “Wild?” Kael stepped into the light, his voice sharp with frustration and professional urgency. “We just sealed a critical structural failure your design created. The whole dome would have collapsed right now if we had followed your rules. You built a system that rejects its own greatest potential. You built it to fear what it cannot box in.”

"Using a flash drive?" Her breathing became shaky. Mr. Shawn stepped forward angrily. "Do you understand the level of damage you've caused? Because of what you did, those Meridian designs are now in a competitor's hands. The company's lawyers are already being brought in to handle this and someone will be held fully responsible!' "I didn't mean—" "Nora could've been sued because of this!" "I said I didn't mean to!" Her voice cracked loudly. Tears filled her eyes instantly. I just stood there staring at her. This girl used to hug me. God. People were terrifying.

I didn’t care how savage I looked, I wanted them to know the kind of beast they were dealing with. “ It was a warning" Leonardo breathed out rubbing his temple as if a headache can undo the damage .“ Rowan Moretti has officially started his games, he didn’t only attack your front gates, Nikolai . He used that exact hour to bomb and destroy my goods and warehouse that just landed, causing me to lose billions in a single night, billions gone in smoke, Nikolai!” I squeezed my fist under the table my rage instantly flaring, Billion’s ? This pathetic man was sitting here whining about money like my brother getting shot at our gates was a minor inconvenience.

“How am I supposed to trust you when you literally married me to ruin me and also took my father’s company, making us believe you were helping?” “You’re half right,” he said. “I didn’t take your father’s company under mine. It’s still yours. I just made it look that way to scare you...and it worked. And as for ruining you…” His eyes darkened, his voice dropping into something sinful. “That’s always been the plan. To ruin you in bed.” Her jaw dropped. “You’re disgusting. You say these things like they’re nothing.”she said wondering how he got this bad. “Why? Does it get you wet?”

She muttered to herself, "It’s over. It’s all over." By masquerading as Uncle Royce’s daughter, Wendy had managed to accumulate a massive fortune through criminal channels. However, she squandered every cent before receiving a ten-year prison sentence for her fraudulent activities. Though a promising life once lay ahead of her, she ultimately brought about her own ruin. Nonetheless, I had no interest in their self-inflicted downfall. I was ready to start a new chapter and embrace a brighter future.

The disposable spare. The discarded omega. They were two sides of the same tarnished coin, both deemed unworthy, both cast aside by the same cruel family, the same brutal pack ideology. Kael had been the prized heir, the perfect Alpha. Caius, his identical reflection, had been deemed a surplus, a threat, a ghost to be erased. She had been the perfect Luna, cherished and paraded, until the moment she wasn’t, and then she too was discarded like trash.

I tapped the screen lightly. “This—” I pointed at the fluctuation. “—this is neural activity.” Aiden didn’t speak. I could feel his attention sharpen. I turned back to the screen. “Something triggered it,” I continued. “Or something stopped suppressing it.” “Suppressing?” he repeated. I exhaled slowly. “Everything about this system is designed to keep him stable,” I said. “Too stable. Controlled.” “And?” Aiden pushed. “And this…” I gestured at the spike. “This breaks that control.”
