His Runaway Bride’s Revenge Chapter Sixty Seven
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

A Dangerous ChoiceClaire sat frozen, staring at the contract in front of her. The inked words blurred together, but their meaning was as clear as the man standing across from her.Adrian was offering her something she had never expected—a choice.And that scared her more than if he had simply demanded her compliance.She should have known he would do this. He never fought the way people expected. No, Adrian Blackwood preferred to play the long game, to twist the board until his opponent made the move he wanted.And yet… this didn’t feel like manipulation.It felt like desperation wrapped in the illusion of control.“Say something,” Adrian said, his voice breaking the silence.Claire swallowed, forcing her thoughts to steady. “I don’t trust you,” she said finally.Adrian didn’t flinch. “That hasn’t stopped you before.”She shot him a glare. “This isn’t the same. You’re asking me to stay—to extend this marriage beyond the contract, to—” She exhaled sharply, her voice quieter now. “To b

The Calm Before the StormClaire barely slept that night.Even after signing the contract, even after officially agreeing to stay in this twisted marriage, her mind refused to settle.Adrian had barely said a word after she signed. He had taken the contract, tucked it away in his desk, and simply told her they would talk in the morning.She hated how calm he had been.She hated even more that she had wanted him to say something—anything.But she wasn’t about to ask for his approval.No, she had made her choice. And she wasn’t going to second-guess it now.Still, as she lay in the massive bed of Adrian’s penthouse, staring at the ceiling, an unease settled deep in her chest.What had she just committed to?Could she really do this?A part of her wanted to believe that this would get easier. That somehow, this wasn’t just another move in their never-ending battle for control.But Claire knew better.This wasn’t a fresh start.It was just a new battlefield.Morning Came Too SoonWhen Cla

The AnnouncementClaire had always hated the spotlight.Growing up in high society, she had been paraded around at charity events, forced to smile for cameras while her stepfather and Ava played the perfect family. She had been a pawn in their games, a means to an end.And now, she was doing it all over again.Only this time, she wasn’t the girl trapped in their shadows.This time, she was Claire Blackwood.A name that came with power. Influence. Fear.She wasn’t the same woman who had walked into Adrian’s life months ago. And she certainly wasn’t the same woman who had been dragged out of her wedding in handcuffs.But that didn’t mean this was easy.She stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection as she smoothed the silk of her deep crimson dress. The color was bold—dangerous. It was the kind of dress that made a statement.It told the world she wasn’t just Adrian Blackwood’s wife.She was his equal.A sharp knock at the door made her tense. She already knew who it was.A

A Dance with the DevilThe gala was already in full swing when Claire and Adrian arrived.Stepping onto the red carpet, Claire felt the heat of the cameras flashing, the press desperate for any hint of a scandal. Murmurs filled the air—some in awe, some in suspicion, and some in pure, unfiltered envy.She was used to this world. The high society elites who smiled to your face while plotting your downfall behind closed doors.But tonight, she wasn’t the naive girl who had once been at their mercy.She was Adrian Blackwood’s wife.And that made her untouchable.Adrian’s grip on her waist was firm as he guided her through the entrance of the grand ballroom. The venue dripped with opulence—chandeliers casting a golden glow over the room, champagne glasses clinking in the hands of billionaires, and soft music playing in the background.Claire’s dress, a deep crimson silk that clung to her curves, made heads turn. She could feel the weight of the stares, but she kept her chin high.She was

The WarningThe silence stretched long after Harold Donovan’s unconscious body had been dragged out of the ballroom.Claire could feel the weight of a hundred eyes on her, whispers crawling through the crowd like a living thing.Adrian’s hand on her back was the only thing anchoring her.“Let’s go,” he murmured in her ear, his voice low but firm.Claire nodded stiffly, letting him guide her out of the ballroom. The second they stepped into the corridor, the noise of the gala was muffled behind the heavy doors.The moment they were alone, Adrian turned to her, his dark eyes sharp with suspicion. “What the hell was that?”She swallowed hard, still processing what had just happened.“I don’t know,” she admitted. “I haven’t seen my stepfather since—” She stopped herself. Since the trial. Since he had sat back and watched her go to prison without lifting a damn finger to help her.Adrian’s jaw clenched. “And yet, he comes back now. Screaming warnings like a lunatic.”Claire shook her head,

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

The First StrikeAdrian Blackwood never made empty threats.When he promised to end someone, he didn’t mean ruin them financially.He meant destruction.Complete. Absolute. 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

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

A Battle for FreedomClaire sat on the edge of the stiff infirmary cot, pressing a rag against her wounded side. The fabric was already damp with blood, the dull sting a reminder of just how close Evelyn Shaw’s blade had come.The cut wasn’t deep.But it was enough to remind her—She was running out of time.Evelyn had delivered her first warning.Next time, Claire wouldn’t be lucky.She gritted her teeth as the prison nurse—a middle-aged woman with tired eyes and a guarded expression—wrapped a bandage around her side. The woman’s hands were steady, but the way her gaze flicked around the room made it clear: She knew something Claire didn’t."This is just the start, you know," the nurse muttered under her breath.Claire’s sharp eyes snapped to hers."What do you mean?" she asked, voice low.The nurse hesitated, glancing at the open doorway before leaning in slightly."They’re testing you," she whispered. "Seeing how much fight you have before they finish the job."A cold chill ran dow

A Reckoning BeginsClaire wasn’t naïve.She knew that prison didn’t just break people—it swallowed them whole.She had seen it in the hollowed-out faces of inmates who had lost the will to fight. In the whispered threats that carried through the dimly lit corridors. In the way power was not granted but seized.And she refused to be swallowed.For days now, Evelyn Shaw had been watching her.Studying her.Like a predator tracking its prey, waiting for the right moment to strike.But Claire wasn’t going to wait.She was going to act first.Because if there was one thing she had learned from Adrian Blackwood, it was this—Power wasn’t given. It was taken.And in this hellhole?Survival meant being the one to strike first.Adrian’s Ruthless CounterattackAdrian Blackwood stood in his office, his gaze locked on the sprawling cityscape before him.The skyline glittered beneath the night sky, a kingdom of glass and steel—his kingdom.But his mind wasn’t on the view.It was on war.Ava.

His Runaway Bride’s Revenge Chapter 119
The First StrikeThe storm was coming.Claire could feel it in her bones.Prison was already a battlefield—each interaction a game of power, every glance a silent challenge. But the moment Evelyn Shaw stepped into their shared cell, Claire knew the war had just reached a whole new level.Because Evelyn wasn’t just any inmate.She was a hired weapon.A mercenary wrapped in the disguise of a convicted criminal. And Claire had no doubt that someone—whether it was Ava, Liam, or David Carter—had sent her.Evelyn smirked as she tossed her thin mattress onto the cot across from Claire’s.The air between them grew charged, heavy with unspoken threats."Don’t look so nervous, sweetheart," Evelyn murmured, amusement lacing her voice. "I don’t bite… unless I have to."Claire didn’t react.She wouldn’t give this woman the satisfaction.She had learned long ago that fear was a weapon—and she refused to hand Evelyn a blade.Instead, she lifted her chin slightly, keeping her expression impassive, co
