Irreversible.Liam Carter had been stupid enough to challenge him.And now?Adrian was about to show him exactly what that mistake would cost.A War in the MakingThe drive to his private headquarters was silent.Daniel sat beside him, eyes sharp as he scrolled through his tablet.“Liam’s move was calculated,” Daniel muttered. “He’s not acting alone.”Adrian knew that already.Liam Carter was a coward.The kind of man who hid behind others—using them as pawns to shield himself.Adrian leaned back in his seat, fingers tapping against his knee.“How much damage?” he asked.Daniel’s jaw tightened.“The leak hit the press an hour ago,” he said grimly. “They’re already running with it.”Adrian didn’t need to check the headlines to know what was being said.They would paint him as a corrupt businessman.A fraud.His empi

A Battle of ConscienceAdrian Blackwood was not a man who hesitated.He had built an empire on ruthlessness, calculated precision, and a willingness to do what others wouldn’t.He didn’t second-guess his choices.Until now.Claire’s words hung in the air like a silent bomb waiting to detonate."If you do this, Adrian… there won’t be anything left of the man I—"She had cut herself off.But the damage was already done.Because Adrian heard it.Felt it.And for the first time in years, he was standing at the edge of a decision that could change everything.Would he step forward and erase Liam Carter from existence?Or would he listen to the one woman who had ever made him pause?A Deadly CountdownDaniel watched the silent war unfolding between Adrian and Claire.The room was thick with tension, the air almost suffocating.Adrian’s men were waiting for a signal—one word.If Adrian said it, Liam would be finished before the night ended.But if he didn’t…Daniel wasn’t sure what would ha

A Past That Won’t Stay BuriedAdrian Blackwood had built his life on control.And tonight, he had given it up.For Claire.For the one woman who had made him pause.But control was a dangerous thing to surrender.Because the moment you let go, the past had a way of gripping you by the throat.And Adrian’s past?It was coming for him.The Aftermath of MercyThe silence between Adrian and Claire stretched long after the call had ended.The hit was off.Liam Carter would live.But at what cost?Adrian could feel it—the weight of a decision that wasn’t truly his.Claire had made it for him.And the part of him that craved power?It hated that."Are you satisfied now?" he asked, his voice unreadable.Claire studied him, searching his face."You think I did this for me?" she challenged.Adrian let out a bitter laugh."You always think you see the best in people, Claire.""I see the truth.""Then tell me, what truth do you see in me?"Claire didn’t hesitate."I see a man who's spent his life

A Reckoning in the DarkAdrian Blackwood stood at the edge of his penthouse balcony, a glass of whiskey untouched in his hand. The city sprawled beneath him—a kingdom he had built with his own hands.But tonight, it felt like it was slipping through his fingers.Because for the first time in a long time, Adrian wasn't just fighting for power.He was fighting to protect Claire.And that was dangerous.Because when you cared about someone—you gave your enemies a weapon.And Adrian Blackwood had too many enemies.The Enemy He Couldn't IgnoreClaire watched him from the doorway, arms crossed.She hadn't slept.Neither had he.Something had shifted between them last night—something unspoken, something raw.But now wasn't the time to untangle it.Not when danger was closing in.Not when Adrian’s past was knocking at the door."You haven’t told me who it is," Claire said finally.Adrian didn't turn."Because knowing won’t change anything.""It changes everything."Her voice was steady, but h

A Game of ShadowsThe silence in Adrian Blackwood’s penthouse was suffocating.Claire sat on the edge of the bed, her mind racing. The revelation of Victor Moretti’s return still echoed through her like a warning bell.She had faced betrayal. She had survived prison.

The Night She Lost EverythingThe wedding gown felt heavier with each step Claire Donovan took. Layers of delicate tulle and intricate lace, once a symbol of purity and love, now clung to her like shackles. Every pearl and embroidery thread seemed to weave a cage around her, tightening with each breath. The grand ballroom of the Donovan estate gleamed in opulence—golden chandeliers dripped with crystals, their warm glow casting an ethereal light over the gathered elite. Everything about the night was perfect. Too perfect.Yet, beneath the facade of laughter and raised champagne flutes, Claire felt the first prickle of unease. It slithered along her spine, an unnamed dread curling in the pit of her stomach.Something was wrong.Her fingers trembled slightly around the bouquet of white roses as she stood poised at the centre of attention. Her father, Richard Donovan, a man known for his iron-clad control and ruthless business acumen, lifted his crystal glass. The room fell into a revere

Bound by RevengeThe crisp, white pages of the marriage contract stared back at Claire Donovan, taunting her with the weight of the decision she was about to make. Each carefully typed word, each legal clause, felt like another nail in the coffin of her past life. This wasn’t just a contract—it was a gamble, a risk that could either grant her justice or destroy her completely.Across from her, Adrian Blackwood sat in his imposing leather chair, the picture of effortless power. The dim glow from the office’s pendant lights cast sharp angles across his face, accentuating the quiet menace in his gaze. His elbows rested on the mahogany desk, fingers steepled together as he studied her with an intensity that sent a shiver down her spine.This wasn’t a man who made requests. He demanded.And she was about to sign herself over to him.Claire tapped the pen against the table, her lips pressing into a thin line. “So, let me get this straight—you want me to be your wife, in name only, and in re

A Dangerous GameClaire had spent years dreaming of this moment—watching Liam and Ava’s carefully curated world crumble, seeing the shock on their faces, the betrayal in Liam’s eyes, the cracks forming in Ava’s perfectly constructed facade. But even in her wildest fantasies, nothing could have prepared her for the sheer satisfaction coursing through her veins at this very moment.Her engagement to Adrian Blackwood.The man Liam could never compete with.The press erupted like a swarm of hungry vultures.“Miss Donovan, how long have you and Mr. Blackwood been together?”“Liam, what do you think about your ex-fiancée moving on with your biggest business rival?”“Ava, any comments?”Flashes of cameras illuminated the tension in the air, highlighting the tight set of Liam’s jaw, the way his fingers twitched slightly at his sides. Claire had learned how to read him in the years they were together, and right now? He was barely holding it together.But it was Ava’s reaction that truly fed Cl

The Storm Before the WarClaire Donovan knew she had made a mistake.A terrible, irreversible mistake.The moment the words had left her mouth, she had seen the change in Adrian’s expression.The raw betrayal.The dangerous glint in his stormy gaze.She had meant to hurt him.She had wanted to push him away.But now, standing in the center of Adrian’s penthouse, watching as he poured himself a drink with slow, deliberate movements, she felt something she hadn’t expected—Regret.Adrian hadn’t spoken a word since she had told him.Hadn’t looked at her.And that silence?It was suffocating.Claire swallowed hard."Say something," she finally whispered.Adrian took a slow sip of his whiskey, his fingers tightening around the glass.Then, he turned.His eyes were unreadable. Cold. Calculating."Say something?" His voice was calm—too calm. "What do you want me to say, Claire?"She flinched.Because that wasn’t just a question.It was a warning.She had expected anger.Expected rage.But th

A Deal with the DevilAva’s breath came in short, sharp gasps.She had always known Adrian Blackwood was dangerous.But this?This wasn’t the cold, ruthless businessman she had manipulated in boardrooms.This was something else entirely.This was death staring her in the face.His blue eyes were like ice, his body coiled with tension, a predator assessing whether the kill was worth the effort.And she?She was prey."Adrian," she tried again, her voice cracking. "I—I can explain—"A flicker of amusement—mocking, sharp—passed over his face."Can you?" he mused.Then, faster than she could react, his hand shot out and grabbed her by the throat.Not tight enough to choke—not yet.But enough to make her still.Enough to remind her that she was helpless."You tried to have Claire killed." His voice was soft. Too soft.It was the kind of softness that preceded violence.Ava clawed at his wrist. "I didn’t—I just—"Adrian’s grip tightened.Not enough to crush.But enough to warn."I should k

The Fire WithinBlood.Claire felt the warmth of it trailing down her arm, soaking into the fabric of her prison-issued shirt.But the pain?She didn’t feel it.Not yet.Adrenaline drowned out everything else—pain, fear, hesitation. The only thing she registered was the weight of Adrian Blackwood’s body shielding her from the next bullet."Stay down."His voice was sharp. Controlled. Deadly.Claire’s pulse thundered. "You think I’m just going to sit here and wait to die?"Adrian’s jaw clenched, his blue eyes burning like ice set aflame. "That won’t happen," he growled. "Not while I’m alive."Another gunshot.The mirror behind them exploded into a thousand razor-sharp fragments, raining over them like deadly confetti.Adrian moved swiftly, his every action precise. Calculated. He pulled out his phone, dialing a number without even looking."Daniel. We have a sniper. Get here. Now."A pause.Then his voice dropped, ice-cold."And find out who the hell put a target on her back."Claire a

The Devil’s PriceThe night air was thick, suffocating, even in its cool embrace.After months of prison walls—gray, suffocating, endless—freedom should have felt like a breath of fresh air.It didn’t.Instead, it felt dangerous.Like a battlefield waiting for its first casualty.And standing at the edge of that battlefield, watching her like a shadow, was Adrian Blackwood.His imposing frame was stiff with restraint, his sharp suit unwrinkled despite the chaos he had caused to get her here. His expression was unreadable as he reached for the car door, swinging it open with a quiet finality."Get in," he ordered.Claire hesitated.Not because she feared him—she never had.But because she knew a truth that most people learned too late:Adrian Blackwood never did anything for free.If he had ripped her from that prison cell?It was because he wanted something in return.She lifted her chin, locking eyes with him for just a second longer than was wise. Then, without a word, she slid into
