His Runaway Bride’s Revenge Chapter Sixty Two
The UnravelingThe Silence Between ThemThe days that followed Claire’s admission of needing time were some of the longest of her life. The silence between her and Adrian grew heavy, suffocating the once-vibrant space they shared. He had given her the space she asked for, but the tension between them was undeniable. Every glance felt like an unspoken question, every touch like a question neither of them dared to ask out loud.The penthouse, once her refuge, now felt more like a gilded cage. The walls seemed to close in around her as she paced from room to room, struggling to make sense of everything. Adrian had given her his ultimatum, but now she was left with the impossible choice of either staying in his world or walking away. The problem was, Claire wasn’t sure she could do either.She had always known that Adrian was powerful, that his world was full of dark corners and unspeakable pressures, but now, more than ever, the weight of it all was becoming too much to bear. His empire

The Price of FreedomThe AftermathThe sound of the elevator doors closing behind her echoed through the hallway, a sound that seemed to reverberate through Claire’s entire being. For a moment, she simply stood there, her hand still hovering over the button that would take her down to the lobby, away from everything that had once been her life.She had done it. She had walked away from Adrian. From the life she had built with him. From everything she had known. But now, as the doors closed and the elevator began its descent, Claire felt the weight of her decision crush her chest. She had wanted freedom—she had needed it—but now, all she felt was the absence of him, the absence of everything that had defined her.The elevator doors opened, and Claire stepped out into the bright, cold light of the lobby, her heart pounding in her chest. She could feel the weight of the city pressing down on her. She had no idea where she was going. No idea what she was doing. But she couldn’t stay there

RebuildingThe Weight of SolitudeClaire hadn’t expected it to be this hard.When she had left Adrian’s penthouse, she had thought that the hardest part would be walking away, making the decision to take back her independence and reclaim her identity. But now, as the days stretched on, she realized that leaving Adrian wasn’t just about escaping his world—it was about rediscovering herself. It was about learning to stand on her own, without him.She had spent the past week in the small, bare apartment she had rented, and the silence was overwhelming. At first, it had been a welcome relief, a stark contrast to the constant buzz of Adrian’s world. But now, the silence pressed in, and Claire found herself wondering if she had made the right choice. She had taken a step into the unknown, but now, she wasn’t sure where to go.She wasn’t sure who she was anymore.The apartment was a blank canvas, just like her life. There were no pictures on the walls, no familiar pieces of furniture that ha

The Ties That BindThe Moment of TruthThe call from Adrian had unsettled Claire more than she cared to admit. She had expected it, but when it came, it was different. His voice had held an edge of finality, as though he wasn’t simply trying to bring her back into his world, but was preparing for a confrontation that would define both their futures.Claire sat in the small, sparse apartment she had rented, her fingers trembling as she stared at the phone, still warm from the call. She knew Adrian was used to getting what he wanted. But she had walked away. She had chosen herself.At least, she thought she had.But now, with the call still echoing in her ears, Claire wasn’t so sure.Her heart still ached at the thought of him. She had been so sure about walking away, about escaping the prison of his world. Yet, with his voice in her ear, his words full of dark promises, she felt the pull again. The power he had over her was something she could never completely shake, no matter how hard

The Firestorm of BetrayalAdrian Blackwood had mastered the art of control. In business, in life, and especially in his emotions. But standing there, frozen in the doorway of his office, control was the one thing slipping through his fingers like grains of sand.Claire’s voice still echoed in his mind, her words ringing like a gunshot through the silence."Adrian can never find out."His pulse pounded against his temples. His fingers curled into fists, and his jaw clenched so tightly it ached. He had expected many things from Claire. Resistance. Defiance. Even outright hatred. But this?She had been hiding something from him—his child.The realization burned through him like wildfire, scorching every rational thought.He stepped forward, the polished marble beneath his shoes cold and unyielding. Claire hadn’t noticed him yet, too caught up in the hushed conversation on her phone.“I just need to be sure,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. “If the results confirm what I s

A War of SilenceClaire’s footsteps echoed through the long corridors of Blackwood Tower, but the storm raging inside her was louder.Her heart pounded, her hands trembling as she clenched them into fists. She had walked out of Adrian’s office, but she could still feel his presence, his words clinging to her like a chain she couldn’t break."You already belong to me."The way he had said it, the quiet authority laced with possessiveness, sent a shiver down her spine. And the worst part? He wasn’t entirely wrong.No matter how much she hated it, Adrian owned her. Their contract said so. Their twisted, tangled relationship ensured it.And now, there was something else. Something neither of them had planned for.A baby.Claire pressed a hand to her stomach as she stepped into the elevator, her chest rising and falling in uneven breaths. She still didn’t know for sure, but the signs had been there for weeks—the nausea, the exhaustion, the undeniable feeling that something inside her had s

No Way OutClaire didn’t sleep that night.She lay in the vast emptiness of her bed, staring at the ceiling as the weight of everything threatened to crush her.The truth was out. Adrian knew.And now, the war between them had taken on an entirely new dimension.She turned onto her side, curling her knees toward her chest as if that would somehow shield her from the inevitable storm. Adrian wasn’t the kind of man who let things go. He wouldn’t simply accept this and walk away.He would claim what was his.The terrifying part was—Claire wasn’t sure if she could stop him.She wasn’t even sure if she wanted to.The thought made her chest tighten, and she squeezed her eyes shut, trying to silence the voices in her head.She had spent three years locked away, dreaming of her revenge, planning every move, ensuring she would never be powerless again.And yet, here she was. Trapped.Not by prison walls, not by chains—but by Adrian Blackwood.By the life growing inside her.By the undeniable,

A Battle of WillsClaire sat motionless on the plush sofa in the penthouse’s sunlit lounge, her fingers tightening around the edges of the medical report Adrian had left behind. The sleek Blackwood logo was stamped in the top right corner, a reminder of his reach—his power.She hadn’t even needed to open it.Adrian had already confirmed what she feared.She was pregnant.A shuddering breath escaped her lips as she stared at the words in front of her. It should have felt real now, tangible. But it didn’t. It still felt like something distant, a possibility that had yet to sink in.But Adrian had made it real.And now, the question wasn’t whether she was having this child.It was what she was going to do about Adrian.Her thoughts were cut short by the sound of the door opening. She stiffened as the familiar presence filled the room.Adrian.She didn’t turn to look at him, didn’t acknowledge him at all. But she could feel him, the quiet intensity of his stare burning into her.He moved

Shadows of the PastSecrets Never Stay BuriedClaire’s heart stopped.The interrogation room was cold, sterile—designed to make people crack.Detective Marshall Hale leaned forward, his sharp gaze cutting through her like a blade."What do you know about my father’s disappearance?"Claire forced herself to breathe, to push down the rising panic.Her fingers curled into fists beneath the steel table.Richard Hale.She knew that name.Everyone did.A powerful businessman. Ruthless. Corrupt.And—gone.Vanished without a trace years ago, leaving behind whispers of foul play but no proof.And now his son sat across from her, looking at her like she held all the answers.But she didn’t.She barely knew anything about Adrian’s past—at least, not the parts he didn’t want her to know.Her voice came out steady. Calm. Controlled."Why are you asking me this?"Hale’s jaw ticked."You’re Adrian Blackwood’s wife. His closest ally. The person he trusts most."She almost laughed.Trust?Adrian Black

A Queen in ChainsThe cold of the prison seeped into Claire’s bones.She sat on the stiff metal bench, staring at the gray walls, her wrists still sore from the cuffs. She had promised herself she’d never be here again.Yet here she was.Accused of fraud. Embezzlement. Corporate espionage.Crimes she did not commit.But none of that mattered. The world believed what it wanted to believe.And Ava had made sure to paint Claire as the perfect villain.The guard’s footsteps echoed down the hall, stopping in front of her cell."You have a visitor," the officer said gruffly.Claire lifted her head, heart racing.For a brief, desperate second, she thought it was Adrian.But when the door opened, and Ava Donovan stepped in, Claire’s stomach turned to steel.The Poisoned SmileAva was dressed to kill.In a sleek designer dress, not a hair out of place, she looked like a woman at the peak of her victory.And she was smirking."Well, well," she purred, stepping closer. "Look where we are."Clair

The ArrestThe pounding on the penthouse door shattered the silence.Claire sat up in bed, her breath coming fast. For a split second, she thought she was dreaming.Then she heard it—loud, forceful, undeniable."Open up! This is the police!"Her blood turned to ice.Adrian was already up, throwing on a shirt, his movements sharp, controlled—but Claire could see the flicker of something lethal in his eyes.The pounding grew louder."Adrian," she whispered, her pulse hammering. "What’s happening?"But deep down, she already knew.Ava had made her next move.And this time, she was coming for Claire.Dragged into the FireThe front door burst open.A wave of officers flooded into the penthouse, weapons drawn, their presence suffocating.Claire’s breath caught in her throat.Adrian didn’t flinch.

The Fall of a KingFor the first time in his life, Adrian Blackwood was powerless.He stood in his office, staring at the stock market graphs that painted a picture of destruction. Red lines, plummeting numbers, flashing warnings—signs of a kingdom crumbling beneath his feet.His empire was collapsing.And outside, the world watched, hungry for his downfall.The headlines were relentless:BLACKWOOD EMPIRE UNDER GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONRICHARD HALE’S DISAPPEARANCE—NEW EVIDENCE POINTS TO ADRIAN BLACKWOODIS THIS THE END FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE?Adrian had fought against powerful men before. He had crushed rivals, outmaneuvered politicians, and turned enemies into ghosts.But this wasn’t a corporate takeover.This wasn’t about business.This was a death sentence.And Ava Donovan had been the one to deliver it.He had underestimated her.

A Dangerous GameThe world believed Ava Donovan.That was the problem.Less than twelve hours after her press conference, the internet was flooded with headlines:AVA DONOVAN EXPOSES ADRIAN BLACKWOOD’S BRIBERY ATTEMPT!CLAIRE BLACKWOOD: PAWN OR ACCOMPLICE?BILLIONAIRE ADRIAN BLACKWOOD UNDER FIRE – A POWER PLAY GONE WRONG?Every news outlet, every business blog, even social media was consumed by the scandal.And inside the penthouse, Claire could feel the weight of it crushing them.Adrian stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, his posture rigid, his phone gripped in his hand like a weapon. 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
