His Runaway Bride’s Revenge Chapter Twenty Six
When the King FallsThe Aftermath of Fire and FuryThe warehouse was silent.The gunshot still echoed in Claire’s ears, even though the smoke was already dissipating into the stale air.Adrian had come for her.And he hadn’t come as a businessman.Not as a billionaire.Not as the controlled, calculated man she had spent months fighting beside.No.Adrian Blackwood had come as a storm.His gun was still aimed at Ava, his finger steady on the trigger.Ava had gone pale, her usual smirk long gone.For the first time, she looked afraid.Claire should have felt triumphant.She had wanted this for so long.To see Ava powerless.But now, as she sat there, her wrists raw from the ropes, she felt something else entirely.Unease.Because this wasn’t just a game anymore.It wasn’t about revenge.It was about who Adrian was willing to become for her.And that?That scared her more than Ava ever could.Ava’s Final GambleAva licked her lips, trying to mask the panic in her eyes.“You’re not going

Running from the DevilA Flight in the NightClaire didn’t stop walking until she was far from Blackwood Tower.Her pulse still roared in her ears, her chest tight with adrenaline.Adrian’s words echoed in her mind."Don’t run from me, Claire. Because if you do… I’ll chase you."And she knew—he meant it.Because Adrian Blackwood didn’t make idle threats.She had seen it firsthand.The way he had almost pulled the trigger on Ava.The way he had burned everything in his path to get to her.And the worst part?She had let him.Claire sucked in a breath, pulling her coat tighter around herself as she stepped into the street.She needed space.Needed to breathe.Because right now?Right now, she wasn’t sure if Adrian was her savior or her downfall.And if she didn’t figure it out soon—she might not get a choice.Adrian's ObsessionAdrian stood in his penthouse, staring at the door she had walked out of.His fingers tightened into fists.She had run.And now?Now, he was going to find her.

No Way OutA War on Two FrontsThe moment Adrian stepped into the room, the air shifted.Claire’s spine stiffened, her heart slamming against her ribs as his dark, unreadable gaze locked onto her.“You’re not going anywhere,” he repeated, his voice calm, but edged with warning.Liam tensed beside her, his fists clenching.Claire inhaled sharply, forcing herself to stay steady.She had spent years learning how to stand her ground.She wasn’t about to start folding now.Her voice was low, firm. “Move, Adrian.”He didn’t.Didn’t blink. Didn’t shift. Didn’t even pretend to consider her words.Instead, he exhaled slowly, tilting his head.And that was always a bad sign.Because when Adrian tilted his head like that—Someone always lost.Liam took a step forward, his shoulders squared. “Let her go, Blackwood.”Adrian’s gaze flickered to him, cold, dismissive. “This isn’t your concern.”Liam’s jaw ticked. “It is now.”Adrian smirked, his voice dropping. “You think you can take her from me?”

The Illusion of FreedomWalking Away Doesn’t Mean She’s FreeClaire walked out of the warehouse, her hands shaking, her mind spinning with everything she had just learned.Adrian had been involved.Not just connected.Not just watching from the sidelines.He had been a part of it.And the worst part?He hadn’t told her.He had let her trust him. Let her fall into this war, thinking they were on the same side.But now?Now, she didn’t know what was real anymore.She felt sick.Like the ground beneath her was crumbling.And the only thing she could do was keep walking.Because if she stopped?She might not be able to move again.Adrian Watches Her GoAdrian didn’t move as he watched Claire walk away.Didn’t call after her. Didn’t stop her.Not yet.Because right now?She wouldn’t believe anything he said.Ava had planned this moment perfectly.Had known exactly where to hit, exactly how to make Claire doubt him.And she had succeeded.For now.Daniel Vaughn stood a few feet away, arms c

Captured by the King The Knock That Changed Everything Claire stared at the door, her heart slamming against her ribs. The knock came again. Slow. Patient. A warning. She swallowed hard, forcing herself to breathe. She had run. She had left him behind. But Adrian Blackwood had just found her. Her fingers tightened around the edge of the nightstand. She could pretend she wasn’t here. Could pretend that she hadn’t heard him. But she knew better. Adrian wasn’t a man who knocked twice. If she didn’t open the door, he would find another way in. And she didn’t want to know what that would look like. Claire exhaled slowly. Then—she unlocked the door. And when she pulled it open— Adrian stood there. Dark suit. Cold gaze. Presence so suffocating it made the room feel smaller. He looked like a man who had already won. Because in his mind? He had. Claire’s throat tightened. She had spent years learning how to be strong. But in front of Adrian

A Game of Life and DeathThe Sound of ChaosThe first gunshot shattered the silence.The second shattered the window.Claire’s breath hitched as glass exploded around them, shards slicing through the air like deadly confetti.Adrian moved first.In a blink, he grabbed Claire and dragged her down, shielding her body with his.More gunfire ripped through the room, tearing into the walls, the furniture, everything in its path.Claire’s heart slammed against her ribs.They were trapped.Surrounded.And the one person who would do anything to see her dead?Ava was behind it.Adrian’s Unbreakable HoldAdrian didn’t hesitate.He had spent years in boardrooms, dominating ruthless men, controlling everything with a single command—But this?This was different.This was war.He pressed Claire against the floor, his body shielding hers as bullets whizzed overhead.“Stay down,” he ordered, his voice calm. Absolute.Claire’s pulse roared.She wasn’t used to being protected.Wasn’t used to needing

A Line That Can’t Be UncrossedThe Aftermath of MercyAva coughed violently, her hands clutching at her throat as she collapsed onto the cold, debris-strewn floor.Adrian had spared her.Barely.But that mercy?It had nothing to do with her.It was for Claire.Only for Claire.Adrian exhaled slowly, straightening as he looked down at Ava with something far colder than hatred.Indifference.“You’re done,” he murmured.Ava’s head snapped up, her eyes burning with fury.“You think you’ve won?” she rasped, her voice raw.Adrian smirked, adjusting his cuffs like he hadn’t just had his hands around her throat.“I don’t think,” he said, his tone smooth, unshaken. “I know.”Claire watched them, her heart still hammering from what had just happened.She should have felt relieved.Should have felt safe.But as she looked at Adrian—at the man who had nearly crossed a line he couldn’t come back from—All she felt was fear.Not of Ava.But of him.Ava’s Final WarningAva let out a low, bitter lau

The Freedom That Never WasA Life That Doesn’t Feel Like HersClaire didn’t stop walking.Didn’t stop running.Not until she was back in her hotel room—alone.She closed the door behind her, pressing her back against it as her breath came in shallow, uneven gasps.Her hands trembled.Not because of fear.Not because of Ava.But because of Adrian.His words still echoed in her mind."Run, Claire. But don’t forget—I always bring back what’s mine."She squeezed her eyes shut, willing herself to breathe.She was free.She had left him.She had finally escaped.So why did it feel like she had just walked into a different kind of prison?Adrian’s Unshaken ControlAdrian sat at the edge of his penthouse, staring out over the city he owned.Daniel Vaughn poured himself a drink, watching him carefully.“She left,” Daniel mused, swirling the amber liquid in his glass.Adrian didn’t respond.Daniel smirked.“But you don’t look worried.”Adrian exhaled slowly.Because he wasn’t.Claire could run.

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.

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

A Storm UnleashedClaire sat frozen, her heartbeat thundering in her ears.David Carter’s gaze didn’t waver, his message clear.She had stolen something from their family.And now, they were coming for her.For Adrian.For everything.Detective Hale leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, watching her reaction like a hunter observing its prey."You see, Claire," he said smoothly, his voice a measured blend of amusement and menace, "this isn’t just about the past anymore. You’re caught in the middle of something far bigger than you realize."Claire forced herself to breathe, to remain calm.She couldn’t let them see her fear.Because in a war like this?Fear was weakness.And weakness got you killed.She shifted her gaze toward the one-way mirror, knowing there were more eyes watching her. How deep did this conspiracy go? Who else had Ava and David Carter roped into their vendetta?The door to the interrogation room creaked open, and another officer stepped inside. He whispered someth

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. He stood like a king in his castle—untouched, unshaken—but his eyes burned with quiet fury.The lead officer stepped forward. "Adrian Blackwood?" he asked, voice clipped.Adrian’s lips curled in a

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. He had believed she would break, that she would fold under the weight of his retaliation.Instead, she had burned his empire to the ground.Adrian’
