His Runaway Bride’s Revenge Chapter Ninety Two
The Storm Before the WarClaire paced back and forth in Adrian’s penthouse, her mind spinning with a thousand worst-case scenarios. It had been two hours since he left to meet Liam. Two hours of suffocating silence. Two hours of staring at her phone, waiting for a call or a message—anything that would tell her he was still okay.But there was nothing.She had tried distracting herself. She had tried not caring. But it was useless.The sound of the elevator chiming made her whirl around.The doors slid open, and Adrian stepped inside.Relief crashed over her so violently that it took her a moment to register the blood splattered on his sleeve.Her breath caught. "What the hell happened?"Adrian’s expression remained unreadable. "It’s not mine.""That’s not an answer!" she snapped, rushing toward him. Her hands hovered near his arm, hesitating. "Were you attacked?"A ghost of a smirk tugged at his lips, as if amused by her concern. "I handled it."Her stomach twisted. "Handled it how?"

Secrets in the DarkThe night air was thick with tension. Claire sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers gripping the silk sheets, but her mind was far away.Adrian had fallen into a brooding silence ever since their conversation on the balcony. He stood near the window now, whiskey in hand, staring at the city skyline as if it held all the answers.It didn’t.Claire sighed. "Are you going to tell me what’s really bothering you?"Adrian didn’t turn around. "You already know."Claire rolled her eyes. "No, I don’t. Because you always act like the weight of the world is yours alone to carry."Adrian finally turned to her, his gaze sharp. "Because it is."She stood, crossing the room toward him. "Not anymore," she said, her voice softer.Adrian studied her for a long moment before setting his glass down on the table. "Liam has something. I don’t know what yet, but I saw it in his eyes before I left."Claire frowned. "And you think it’s worse than what he’s already done?"Adrian’s jaw tigh

The First MoveThe night was restless.Claire lay awake in bed, staring at the ceiling as the weight of their latest discovery pressed down on her. Ava. The very name sent a cold chill through her veins. She had spent three years in prison because of that woman, had lost everything while Ava thrived. And now, she wasn’t just a pawn in Liam’s game—she was an active player.She turned her head slightly, watching Adrian as he sat in the armchair by the window, sipping whiskey in the dim light. His expression was unreadable, but she knew his mind was already strategizing, mapping out their next move."You’re not sleeping," she murmured."Neither are you," he countered, taking another sip.Claire sat up, pulling the sheets around her. "Because I know this isn’t over. Ava being involved means we’re walking into something bigger than we thought."Adrian leaned back in his chair, studying her. "Do you think she’s just Liam’s puppet, or do you think she has her own agenda?"Claire scoffed. "Av

A Firestorm UnleashedThe walls were closing in on Liam Carter.By the time afternoon arrived, every major news outlet had latched onto the scandal surrounding Carter Enterprises. Reports flooded financial networks, online forums, and social media, dissecting the fraudulent dealings, the bribery, the offshore accounts—all of it.Claire scrolled through the endless stream of articles on her phone, her pulse racing with anticipation."Liam’s losing control," Adrian murmured beside her, his eyes fixed on his laptop screen. "His board is already holding an emergency meeting."Claire looked up at him. "Will they cut him loose?"Adrian smirked, a slow, dark expression that sent a shiver down her spine. "Not yet. But they’re scared. That’s all we need for now."Daniel, standing near the window, checked his phone. "Liam’s been making desperate calls all morning. He’s trying to keep the investors from pulling out."Claire set her phone down. "And Ava?"Daniel’s expression darkened. "Silent. Bu

Turning the TablesClaire had spent years being painted as the villain, the traitor, the weak and foolish girl who had been used, discarded, and forgotten.But not this time.This time, she wasn’t going to let Ava or Liam control the narrative.As she stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of Adrian’s penthouse, overlooking the glittering city below, a fire burned inside her. It wasn’t just about revenge anymore. It was about reclaiming who she was.Behind her, Adrian lounged on the sleek black leather couch, watching her with a calculated expression."You’re thinking too much," he murmured, his voice laced with amusement.Claire turned to face him, arms crossed. "I’m thinking about our next move."Adrian smirked, swirling the whiskey in his glass. "Good. Because I have an idea."Claire narrowed her eyes. "Tell me."Adrian leaned forward, setting his drink aside. "Ava just made herself the martyr. The concerned ‘sister’ looking out for you, subtly making it seem like you’re be

The Battle BeginsClaire had played her opening move, but this was far from over.The charity gala had set the stage for a war, and she knew Liam and Ava wouldn’t back down without a fight. If anything, she had just provoked them into retaliation.As she and Adrian walked out of the grand ballroom, the weight of what had just transpired settled over her. The media would be running headlines about her public defiance against Ava’s manipulation. The public opinion was shifting, and Claire was finally getting control over her own narrative.But there was still one problem.Liam and Ava wouldn’t sit back and watch her win.A Dangerous PropositionBack at Adrian’s penthouse, Claire paced near the windows, staring at the city skyline. Adrian leaned against the bar, pouring himself a glass of whiskey."You’re overthinking again," he noted, taking a slow sip.Claire shot him a glare. "And you’re too calm."Adrian smirked. "That’s because I don’t fear people like Liam and Ava. They’re predicta

Liam’s DesperationLiam Carter had spent years crafting a perfect image—the golden boy of high society, the heir to a flourishing empire, the man everyone respected. But now, his world was crumbling.Sitting in his office, he stared at the headlines flashing across his laptop screen. His blood boiled.EXCLUSIVE: AVA DONOVAN’S SECRET DEALINGS EXPOSED – FRAUD, BLACKMAIL, AND MOREThe article had gone viral within hours. Business partners were backing out, investors were demanding explanations, and the public was turning against them.And he knew exactly who was responsible.Claire.Adrian.The two of them had done this together.Liam clenched his fists, his vision darkening. He had underestimated Claire, believing she was the same naïve woman he’d discarded years ago. But she had returned with vengeance, standing at Adrian Blackwood’s side like she belonged there.A knock on his office door made him snap out of his rage."Come in," he barked.The door opened, and Ava stepped inside, her

The Battle BeginsClaire stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows of Adrian’s penthouse, the city stretching before her like a battlefield. The headlines were everywhere, flashing across news stations, social media, and financial forums.ADRIAN BLACKWOOD UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR CORPORATE ESPIONAGEHer heart pounded as she turned away from the view. She had spent years planning her revenge, fighting for her freedom, but she hadn't anticipated that Liam would strike back this hard.Behind her, Adrian stood near the bar, pouring himself a glass of whiskey. His face was unreadable, but Claire had come to understand his silences. The tension in his shoulders, the way his fingers tightened around the glass—he was furious."We need a plan," Claire said, crossing her arms. "Liam isn’t going to stop unless we destroy him first."Adrian took a slow sip before setting the glass down. "Destroying Liam is the easy part," he murmured. "The problem is the government investigation. If we don’t handle i

His reflection in the glass was as cold and merciless as the storm raging outside.Daniel had been working all night, trying to control the media, but the damage was already done."Ava played this perfectly," Daniel muttered, his voice laced with frustration. The circles under his eyes told Claire that he hadn't slept, and she doubted Adrian had either."She won’t win," Adrian said, voice like steel

The Trap is SetAva Donovan wasn’t stupid.She knew when she was being hunted.And Adrian Blackwood had made it very clear—this was a war.But he’d underestimated her.Everyone always had.They thought she was just a spoiled heiress with a sharp tongue and expensive taste. But she had survived in a world that crushed the weak. She had built an empire, one deal, one manipulation at a time.And she wasn’t about to let Claire and her billionaire husband take it all away.So, she did what she did best.She planned.Planned a counterstrike that would turn Adrian’s empire against him.Claire’s Growing Fear"You need to be more careful," Adrian’s voice was sharp as he paced the penthouse.Claire folded her arms, frustration simmering beneath her skin. "I’m not the one who sent a death threat in the form of a sniper video."Adrian shot her a look. "No, you’re just the one she wants dead."Claire flinched.He wasn’t wrong.Since the security footage had arrived, Adrian had doubled his security

The Game BeginsThe city skyline stretched endlessly before them, but Claire’s mind was elsewhere—trapped in the suffocating realization that her own stepsister had tried to have her killed.Ava had never just wanted to ruin her.She had wanted her gone.Permanently.Adrian stood beside her on the penthouse balcony, his hands gripping the railing like he was barely containing his fury. He hadn’t spoken much since their return from Liam’s.Claire could still feel the weight of his promise."She’s not walking away from this."Adrian’s threats weren’t empty. He didn’t deal in warnings—he executed."You’re quiet," she finally said, her voice breaking the tense silence.Adrian didn’t look at her. "Thinking.""About?"He exhaled sharply, pushing off the railing and turning toward her. His gaze was piercing, cold. "How best to destroy her."Claire’s chest tightened. "Adrian—""You don’t need to convince me to show restraint." His tone was clipped, his temper barely in check. "This isn’t abou

A Web of DeceptionThe world tilted.Claire’s breath hitched as Liam’s words echoed in her skull.Ava.Her stepsister. The woman who had framed her, stolen her fiancé, and watched as her life crumbled into dust.Adrian was silent beside her, but she could feel the sheer force of his rage. His entire body had gone still—the kind of stillness that came before a storm.Liam’s smirk lingered, enjoying every second of their shock."You look surprised," he mused, sipping his drink like he hadn’t just detonated a bomb in the room. "But really, you shouldn’t be. Ava has always been… ambitious."Claire’s nails dug into her palms, her mind racing. "You’re lying."Liam arched a brow. "Am I?"Adrian stepped forward, his presence like a blade against Liam’s throat. "You’re going to tell us everything. Now."Liam let out an amused sigh, setting his glass down. "You’re so tense, Blackwood. Fine. I’ll give you a little more."He walked to a sleek black desk, pulled open a drawer, and tossed a thin fo

Confronting the PastThe drive to Liam Carter’s estate was a quiet storm.Claire sat in the passenger seat of Adrian’s sleek black car, her hands clenched in her lap. Adrian had barely spoken since they left the penthouse, his grip tight on the steering wheel, his knuckles white with tension.Daniel followed behind in another car, a security team flanking them, prepared for anything.Claire’s heart pounded against her ribs. It had been years since she had seen Liam face-to-face. The last time, he had watched her life crumble, his silence cutting deeper than any betrayal. And now, he might be the one trying to end her life.She had thought she’d moved past the pain. That she had buried the old wounds beneath layers of anger and survival.But as they neared the Carter estate, she realized something terrifying.The scars still burned.The Estate of a SnakeLiam Carter lived like a man who had never tasted suffering.His estate loomed ahead, a sprawling mansion nestled in wealth and secre

No Safe HavenThe ride back to the penthouse was suffocating.Claire’s fingers were still laced with Adrian’s, but neither of them spoke. There was nothing left to say—not when the reality of their situation had become so brutally clear.Someone wanted them dead.And that someone had money, power, and the means to make it happen.As the car pulled into the underground garage of Adrian’s building, Daniel was already waiting. His sharp gaze flickered between them, instantly sensing the weight in the air."What happened?" he asked, pushing off the sleek black car he was leaning against.Adrian let go of Claire’s hand, his movements tense. "Romano confirmed it. There’s a hit on us."Daniel’s jaw tightened. "Both of you?"Adrian nodded.Daniel muttered a curse under his breath, then turned to Claire. "I assume you didn’t just sit at home like you were supposed to?"Claire lifted her chin. "I went to the club."Daniel swore again. "Damn it, Claire—""Don’t," Adrian cut in, his voice sharp.

Walking Into the FireThe city blurred past the car window as Claire clenched her fists in her lap.She didn’t have a plan.Not really.All she knew was that Adrian was in trouble, and she was done being sidelined."Where to, Miss Donovan?" the driver asked, glancing at her through the rearview mirror.She hesitated for half a second. "Vincent Romano’s club."The driver’s grip on the wheel tightened. "Are you sure? That’s not the kind of place—""I didn’t ask for your opinion," Claire cut in, her voice sharper than she intended.The driver nodded stiffly and changed lanes, speeding toward the high-end, private club where Adrian had vanished.Claire’s pulse pounded as she gripped her phone.No messages.No calls.Adrian was keeping her in the dark.And she was about to change that.The ClubThe moment Claire stepped inside the dimly lit lounge, she knew she didn’t belong.Not in the way the men in expensive suits smirked at her.Not in the way the women, draped in silk and diamonds, lo

A Line in the SandThe tension in the penthouse was suffocating.Claire sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the city lights outside the massive window, her fingers curled into the silky fabric of her robe. Adrian’s words from earlier still echoed in her mind."Losing you isn’t an option."She wasn’t sure how to process it.Adrian Blackwood was a man who wielded power like a weapon, who controlled his world with ruthless precision. But tonight, just for a moment, she had seen something else—something unguarded.Something real.A knock at the bedroom door snapped her out of her thoughts. She turned just as Adrian stepped inside.His presence filled the room, dark and commanding."You should get some sleep," he said, his voice quieter than usual.She studied him. The sharp angles of his face, the tension in his shoulders. He was just as unsettled as she was."Is that an order?" she asked.His lips twitched slightly. "Would you listen if it was?"She huffed a quiet laugh. "Not a chanc

Lines That Shouldn’t Be CrossedClaire stood in front of Adrian, her pulse thrumming in her ears.His dark eyes pinned her in place, the weight of his gaze heavy with suspicion. He knew something was wrong. He could sense the shift in her."You went to see him, didn’t you?" Adrian’s voice was low, controlled, but there was a lethal edge beneath it.Claire lifted her chin. "Yes."His hands clenched into fists at his sides. "Why?"She hesitated. She had spent years learning to hide her emotions, to keep her mask in place. But Adrian—he had a way of stripping away every layer of her defenses."Because Liam has information we can’t ignore," she said finally.Adrian’s lips pressed into a thin line. "And you thought it was a good idea to meet him alone?"Claire exhaled sharply. "I can handle myself, Adrian. I don’t need you watching my every move."He took a slow, deliberate step forward. "When you make reckless decisions that could get you killed? Yes, you do."Her breath hitched. He was t
