Rescuing the invulnerable Billionaire Chapter Seven : He's sweeter!
The air felt electric—charged with a tension that neither of them seemed willing to break. For a heartbeat, silence stretched taut, only the faint hum of distant machinery filling the space.Then Adrian leaned in just enough for her pulse to hammer against her ribs. "Clean it... thoroughly," he murmured, his voice softer this time—almost a whisper, yet the authority behind it was unmistakable.Without another word, he stepped back and watched her do the job.The basement air still carried the faint chill of that unsettling moment, but Elena forced herself to steady her breath as Adrian Blackwood’s gaze bore into hers. His presence alone seemed to weigh down the space, his tailored suit a stark contrast against the industrial walls.“What’s your name?” he asked, the sharp edge in his voice leaving no room for hesitation.“Elena_Boss,” she answered quickly, pulse still uneven. “Elena Martinez,” she added, her voice steady despite the lingering tremor in her chest.Adrian's fingers brush

The faint click of the door locking echoed softly against the walls. The air shifted, thick with a tension that seemed to hum beneath her skin. Elena’s breath hitched as Adrian stepped forward, his polished shoes soundless against the floor. His gaze never wavered—dark, intense, and unreadable—as though the space between them had vanished with the turn of a key.Her pulse pounded beneath her ribs, her mind urging her to move, to speak—to do anything—but her body refused to obey. Heat prickled along her skin as he closed the distance, each step slow and deliberate. The faint scent of his cologne drifted toward her—Without a word, Adrian lifted his hand, the brush of his fingertips feather-light as he tilted her chin upward. The warmth of his skin against hers was electric, igniting a rush of heat that swept through her chest. His thumb grazed the curve of her jaw, tracing a path that seemed to burn beneath his touch as his eyes locked onto hers.His gaze was a storm—dark, consuming, a

Bob continued lowering his voice slightly, “that Adrian’s father was killed by hooligans and drug lords. Guess some people didn’t like the way he ran things—kept shutting down their dirty deals and pushing them out of the city.”“My mom said he was drugged to death outside the States. That was years ago,” Elena replied, her fingers tightening around the cleaning supplies she carried.“Yeah, that’s what most folks heard,” Bob said, his tone quieter now. “But some of us think there’s more to it. Adrian’s security team—they’re solid. No way these random attacks would happen so often unless something’s off. And Adrian… he’s no fool. The man moves like a damn ghost half the time—always slipping in and out without anyone noticing. You’d think that would keep him safe.”He paused as the distant blare of a truck horn echoed from the loading dock below, its deep sound vibrating faintly through the walls.“But the attacks…” Bob’s gaze darkened slightly. “It’s like they’re waiting for him.

Elena froze at the deep, commanding voice."My office, Elena. Now!"She gripped her phone tighter, immediately recognizing it.Adrian.Her heart pounded. Why was he calling her? What did he want this time?She turned to Piper. "Let me have your number. I have to rush—Black Tower’s boss is calling me.""You mean Mr. Adrian? The heir of the late Mr. Blackwood?" Piper’s eyes widened."Yes.""Wow. I’ve never met him, but I’ve heard a lot from my boss. I usually meet his P.A. or some of his executives, but I see him from a distance when he talks to my boss.""Oh," Elena muttered, her mind distracted."I hear he’s very handsome. Honestly, I admire him a little. My friends would do anything to meet him."Elena found herself more interested in the conversation but shook it off."We’ll talk later. I need to go now."She reached the 98th floor. The highest in Black Tower.The air felt heavy. She had sent her team earlier, hoping to avoid Adrian, but now, there was no escape.She approached a gu

Adrian had thought about that woman every day since the incident. He never spoke about it, never mentioned the soft but determined voice that had urged him to hold on. Instead, he let the world believe he had saved himself. It was easier that way. He wasn’t the kind of man who admitted to being rescued."You need to be more careful, Elena." His voice came out firmer than he intended.She blinked up at him from where she steadied the ladder. "I didn’t know it was wet. I’ll be more careful next time."Adrian narrowed his eyes. Something about her voice—it stirred something deep in his memory. Should he ask her where she was from? No, that was ridiculous. There had to be a million women who sounded like that—especially when startled, angry, or…He cut the thought off. He had enough experience to know voices could be deceiving. Still, his gaze lingered on her, searching for something he couldn’t quite name.The sudden, loud chime of an incoming call jolted the room."Incoming call. Incomi

The bell rang for class break, and Adrian slipped into the restroom, needing a moment to himself. As he stepped out, still adjusting his zipper, Pearl appeared—suddenly, as if she had been waiting for this exact moment.She didn’t hesitate. Her eyes burned with desire as she pressed against him, trailing a finger down his chest, teasingly brushing over his waistband before moving back up."I had to taste what I've been hearing about," she murmured, her lips dangerously close to his.Adrian smirked but said nothing. He could feel the heat between them, the tension tightening like an electric current. She started unbuttoning his shirt—first one, then the second, her breath hitching as she inched closer.By the third, he caught her wrist. His grip was firm but not rough. Slowly, he leaned in, letting his lips graze her neck, then lower, tracing a path down to her collarbone. She let out a soft moan, her fingers gripping his shoulders.Without breaking eye contact, he lifted her effortles

Adrian tore open the seal, unfolding the paper inside. His eyes skimmed the first few lines, and immediately, a slow exhale left his lips.**"I didn’t really know how to approach you, and I don’t want to bug you, so I learned the old ways. A man in love writes to his woman, or a woman in love writes to her man. So I’m writing to you, Adrian, to express the deepest part of my heart.I see you in my dreams.And even in my dreams, my heart melts for you.With your hands on my body, I feel your touch, the way your lips claim mine, the way your breath becomes mine. You kiss me, slowly, deeply, and I surrender. We make love—intense, passionate, raw. And you are incredible.Adrian, I long for your arms around me. You, as my love. My man.I want to feel your fingers trace my skin, to have your warmth pressed against me. I want you to taste me, to explore every inch of me until I’m yours in every sense. Until I’m drowning in you.I want my heart to be yours and your heart to be mine. I want yo

She froze when she saw him, as if contemplating running the other way. But it was too late. They were already standing face to face.“I saw your letter… You never said anything.”Her lips parted slightly, voice barely above a whisper. “You were with Vivian,” she said eyes searching his. “Adrian, I can’t hide my feelings anymore. I want you to myself. I love you. I mean it.”She hesitated for a second, then gently grabbed his arm. “Come with me. Let me show you something.”Without much resistance, he let her lead him to her class.And then—he saw her.Susan.The new girl. Sitting in the middle of the classroom, casually listening to a conversation, completely unaware of the way his world had just shifted.Mary kept talking, but her voice faded into the background.All he could focus on was the girl sitting in his goalpost.And his goal had to be scored.“Mary, I’ll respond to your letter,” he said, eyes still locked on Susan. “We could hang out sometime. But—who is that girl?”Mary fol

Adrian didn’t expect university to feel this new.The place was big, the buildings wide and full of people. Every hallway smelled like paper and strong coffee. He wore his regular jeans and sneakers, trying not to stand out too much. No one knew he was the son of a billionaire—and that was just how he liked it.He was studying Energy and Mineral Resources Management—a course that mixed science and business. They learned about oil, gold, and how to find valuable things deep under the earth. It was hard, but he liked it.He sat in front during classes, always taking notes. Some of his classmates already respected him, not because of who he was, but because he worked hard and asked smart questions.But even with all of that, he still thought about Susan sometimes.He hadn’t seen her since graduation. He didn’t know where she went, or if she still remembered him. Maybe she had moved on. He tried to stop thinking about her, but some people are just hard to forget.One afternoon, after clas
Rescuing the invulnerable Billionaire Chapter Twenty Six: Lost again
Rafiq, Jonathan, and Susan were standing in the middle of the hallway. Behind them, some students were holding a huge, fancy cake. It looked expensive, and it had bright colors with the words “Welcome Back, Champion!” written in shiny gold icing.Adrian stopped walking and stared. He was shocked—in a good way. Then his eyes landed on Susan. She was smiling a little, her hands behind her back. Something about seeing her there made his heart beat faster.“Thank you! Thank you, all of you!” Adrian said, smiling big.Then he looked right at Susan. Their eyes met, and he held her gaze. She looked down quickly, her cheeks turning pink.“Thank you,” he said again, this time just to her.Classes were put on hold. Music played from someone’s speaker. People laughed, danced, and passed slices of cake around. It felt like a dream.---Days went by, and exams were getting closer. Adrian had something on his mind—Susan.Lately, she had been acting cold. She didn’t wait for him after class. She sto
Rescuing the invulnerable Billionaire Chapter Twenty five: Ended not as expected
It was finally time. Adrian sat with his teammates, Luke and Richard, their eyes locked on the other team just a few feet away. The air was thick with tension. No one moved. No one blinked. Even the audience had gone quiet. The announcer stepped up to the mic. “For this final round,” he said, “each team will get their own questions. If you answer all your questions right, you’ll gain the lead. But if you miss any question, you lose points—and your question goes to the other team as a bonus. If both teams get all their questions right, there will be one final question for both of you. First team to answer it wins.” Everyone listened closely. “Right now, both teams are very close in points. So this could go either way. Pay attention and don’t panic.” Adrian nodded slowly, trying to calm the storm in his chest. Luke’s leg bounced nervously. Richard was stiff, focused like a hawk. “Team Solaris, come forward,” the announcer called. Adrian's stomach turned. They wanted the other team
Rescuing the invulnerable Billionaire Chapter Twenty four: Walking Assignment
The next question came up on the screen.Before anyone could even breathe, Adrian hit the answer button.“Option C,” he said quickly.The judges blinked, surprised. Nobody had answered that fast since the competition began.The whole room went silent for a moment.“Did he just—?” one of the judges whispered.Luke looked at Adrian with wide eyes. “Bro… are you secretly a robot?”Adrian grinned. “If I am, I need better batteries. These questions are getting harder.”And they were. Each round was tougher than the last. Everyone was thinking harder, breathing faster. Some students looked like they were ready to cry.One by one, teams were knocked out.After about one hour and forty-seven minutes, only four teams were left. Adrian’s team was still in—but just barely. They were now in fourth place. The rest—eleven full teams—were gone.The room felt hotter now. Some students were sweating like they had just run a marathon.Luke wiped his face with his sleeve. “This is crazy.”Richard leaned

As they walked up, Adrian whispered, “Guys… that’s a Fisher equation question. We got this.” The three took their seats. The screen lit up again with the same question. Adrian stared at it. “Alright,” he muttered, grabbing a pencil. “Inflation: 6.2%. Base rate: 4.5%. Real rate = nominal - inflation, right?” Luke nodded, already writing: “That gives us -1.7%. Negative real interest.” Richard added, “That discourages saving, encourages borrowing. Short-term boom, long-term… risky.” Adrian looked up at the clock. Still 18 seconds left. He turned to the judges. “We’re ready.” The room grew quiet. Adrian leaned forward and answered, breaking down the calculation clearly, then linking it to expected consumer trends. He sat back. There was a short pause… then a soft ding. The screen flashed green. Correct. A wave of applause followed. The judges gave approving nods. As the team walked off the stage, Adrian leaned toward Richard. “You still owe me lunch for the last one.” Richa
Rescuing the invulnerable Billionaire Chapter Twenty two: Easy to tough
The hall felt tense. Everyone sat quietly, eyes locked on the stage where three students faced a glowing screen. In front of them was a smaller monitor only they could see, and behind them, a huge screen showed the same thing for the crowd. Before the contest started, the rules had been explained. If a team can’t answer their question and another team gets it right, the team that answers will earn one extra chance if they run out of time later. It was a smart way to keep things fair—and exciting. Right now, it was the Japanese team’s turn. They sat stiffly, eyes focused, fingers tapping the table nervously. The question on the screen was tough. Adrian Scholl sat with his team, waiting. He should’ve been thinking about the competition. But instead, his mind wandered—to home. To San Francisco. To Susan. He didn’t even hear their names being called. “Adrian,” someone whispered urgently. Still nothing. “ADRIAN!” a voice said louder. A quick tap on his shoulder snapped him b
Rescuing the invulnerable Billionaire Chapter Twenty one: China
For the next two days, Adrian and Susan were almost inseparable. From him showing up outside her classroom to her stopping by his, from quick chats at the counter to working on assignments together—they were always within reach of each other. Their connection felt effortless, as if an invisible string kept pulling them closer. On the second day, as school ended and students spilled out of the gates, Adrian and Susan strolled toward the waiting area where their drivers would pick them up. The warm evening breeze played with Susan’s hair, and Adrian found himself watching her more than he should have. "Tomorrow, I’ll be leaving for China," Adrian started, his voice carrying a weight she immediately picked up on. "We’ll be lodging there before the main events. You know, it's a long journey." Susan nudged him lightly, her smile teasing. "Make us proud, dude." Adrian chuckled but before he could reply, his phone rang. It was his driver. "Looks like I have to go," he said, glancing
Rescuing the invulnerable Billionaire Chapter Twenty: Bullies.
Halfway to Prime Bites, shouting made them stop. Ahead, two junior students—both large for their age—had a smaller kid cornered near the gym. One of them kicked him hard in the ribs.Heat surged through Adrian’s veins. His fists clenched.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” His voice cut through the air.One of the bullies barely glanced at him. “None of your business, genius.” He drove his foot into the boy’s stomach again.Adrian was on him in seconds. His fist slammed into the bully’s jaw, sending him stumbling. Before the second one could react, Adrian grabbed his collar and shoved him against the gym wall.“Touch him again,” Adrian growled, his grip tightening, “and you’ll regret it.”The first bully recovered and lunged. Adrian dodged and drove his elbow into the guy’s stomach, making him double over. With a swift move, Adrian kicked his legs out from under him, sending him crashing to the ground.The second bully struggled in his grip. “Let go, man!”Adrian twisted the g
Rescuing the invulnerable Billionaire Chapter Nineteen: Running away
“Well…” Susan lifted her head, her voice calm but distant. “I’ve been really busy. My dad sent me here to study, so I need to stay focused.” She hesitated for a second, then added, “By the way, I heard you got selected for the international competition. Congratulations.” Her tone was polite, but her eyes held no warmth.“Thanks,” Adrian said slowly, stretching the word as he studied her. She was acting cold, but he wasn’t fooled. He took a step closer, his tall frame almost towering over her. His deep eyes locked onto hers. “So, what’s up?” His voice was low, smooth, as if daring her to look away.Susan’s heart skipped a beat. His presence was too strong, too close. She stepped back a little, trying to steady herself, but Adrian’s sharp eyes caught everything. A small smirk tugged at his lips.“Nothing much,” she muttered, turning her face away as warmth rushed to her cheeks. But she knew he saw it.Adrian watched her closely. She was running—not because she felt nothing, but because
