BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS' REVENGE Chapter 131
It’s been a week since Adrian stopped talking to me.Seven long days of walking through the same halls, sitting through the same meetings, breathing the same air and pretending not to notice him.He doesn’t look at me.Not once.Not even when I speak during meetings. He keeps his eyes on the screen, his tone polite, his face unreadable. Like we never shared anything. Like I don’t exist.People have started to notice.Whispers float around the office like dust…quiet, and impossible to ignore.Did something happen between them?Why doesn’t Mr. Adrian talk to her anymore?Maybe she made him mad.I tell myself it doesn’t matter. That I deserve the silence. But some nights, when I can’t sleep, I replay that last look on his face, the anger, the hurt and it cuts deeper than I expect.By Thursday, the office buzzes with talk about the big presentation and the company gala that will follow. It’s for the new partnership deal with an international firm. Everyone’s excited. Everyone but me.At

ELLIE'S POV The office felt colder than usual that morning.Maybe it was the air conditioner. Maybe it was the stares.I could feel them before I even reached my desk…eyes, whispers, the kind that crawl under your skin and stay there.I kept my head down, pretending to scroll through my phone.But I heard it, soft laughter, a name I didn’t want to hear.“Did you see them?”“In his arms! All night?”“I thought she hated him…”I wanted the ground to open and swallow me whole.I sat down quickly, pulling my chair close to the desk. My heart wouldn’t slow down. I could still feel the weight of Adrian’s arm around me from last night. The warmth, the peace that had wrapped around me like a blanket after days of trouble.And now… shame.Every time I looked up, I saw people’s eyes shift away too late. They’d been staring. Whispering.When I finally gathered enough courage to look toward Adrian’s office, the door was closed. Frosted glass. His name shining in gold letters like it always did

I didn’t plan to see her again.Clara.But all morning, I couldn’t stop thinking about what Ellie said.Her voice kept replaying in my head, shaking, like she was holding something too heavy to say out loud.Now I know why she’s been avoiding me.Now I know who she really is.Clara’s sister.The woman I almost married.And the woman I can’t stop thinking about.I sit behind the wheel for a long time before I move. I don’t even know what I’ll say.I just know I can’t stay quiet anymore.When I finally park outside Clara’s house, my chest feels tight. Everything looks the same. The same tall gate, the small white car, the curtains drawn like always. I sit there for a minute, staring.Then I walk to the door and knock.It opens after a few seconds.Clara stands there in a silk robe, holding a cup of tea. She looks surprised, but not shocked.Like she expected this one day.“Adrian,” she says softly. “You shouldn’t be here.”“I know,” I say. “But I had to come.”She studies me, then steps

Chapter 125The whole day feels wrong.Even after everyone stopped talking about what they saw in the office that morning, I could still feel their stares on my skin. I could still hear the small laughs, and the side talks I told myself not to care. I told myself to focus on my work, but every time I looked at my screen, the image came back … Adrian’s arms around me, the warmth of him, the way my body had fit against his like I was made to stay there.I shouldn’t have let that happen.I shouldn’t have fallen asleep.I shouldn’t even have been close to him.By noon, I was already tired of pretending.I kept my head down, typing, replying emails, acting like nothing happened. But my mind was running wild, scared, guilty.When the office finally went quiet again, I didn’t leave. I just sat there, alone, letting the silence fill the room. My chest hurt. My hands shook. I didn’t even know why I was crying until I tasted salt on my lips.That was when I heard him.Adrian’s footsteps. Slow.
BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS' REVENGE Chapter 127
ADRIAN'S POV The rain starts as a whisper, soft against the glass, then turns wild. I can barely see her through it. Ellie is just a shadow running down the street, small against the storm, her coat flapping behind her.I don’t think. I just go after her.The cold hits me as soon as I step outside. The wind slaps my face, the rain finds every open space on my skin, but I don’t stop. All I can see is her. She walks fast, like she wants the rain to wash something off her. Like maybe she’s trying to forget everything that happened between us.“Ellie!” I shout, my voice breaking through the sound of the rain. She doesn’t turn. I push forward, my shoes splashing through puddles, the water soaking through my shirt.When I reach her, she’s trembling. Her hair sticks to her face, and she won’t even look at me.“Ellie, stop. Please.”She stops, but she doesn’t face me. Her shoulders rise and fall, heavy and tired. For a moment, the rain is the only thing talking between us.“What do you want,
BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS' REVENGE Chapter 126
Chapter 123The office feels colder today.Maybe it’s the air conditioner, or maybe it’s him.Adrian Cole.He’s been here only two days, but it already feels like he’s everywhere - in every meeting, every email, every corridor I walk through. His name keeps coming up in conversations, in whispers, in my head.I keep telling myself it’s fine. That it’s just work. That I can handle this.But every time I hear his calm and low voice, I remember that hotel room.And the way silence felt like a heartbeat between us.I sit at my desk, trying to focus on the spreadsheet in front of me. My fingers hover over the keyboard, typing words that don’t make sense. June sits across from me, humming softly, unaware that I’m falling apart in slow motion.“He’s in his office,” she says suddenly, glancing at me. “You know, the new guy. Mr. Cole. Have you seen his watch? It probably costs more than my rent.”I laugh weakly. “You notice the strangest things.”“I notice everything,” she says, leaning clos
