Betrayed. Broken. Stripped of everything she once called hers. Elysia Sinclair thought she had already lost it all—until she lost the one thing that truly mattered. Her baby. Left bleeding and abandoned in a cold hospital room, she swore revenge. But what could a woman with nothing do against the man who destroyed her? Enter Adrian Blackwood. Ruthless, calculating, and as dangerous as they come. He doesn’t do charity. He doesn’t do kindness. But when he looks at Elysia, he sees something more—something raw, something familiar. "Sign these papers, leave him, and marry me," he says, his voice a dark promise. "I'll help you get your revenge." It’s a deal with the devil himself, but Elysia is too shattered to refuse. One signature, and she goes from the discarded ex-wife of a billionaire to the new bride of a man even more powerful. But Adrian didn’t just want a wife. He wanted her. And as he slides his ring onto her finger in front of the man who betrayed her, a shiver runs down her spine. Because in Adrian’s eyes, this isn’t just a contract—it’s possession. Now, tangled in his world of power plays and whispered threats, Elysia must ask herself— Is she using Adrian to destroy her past? Or is he using her to rewrite his own? One thing is certain: when you strike a deal with the devil, there’s no turning back.

Saved By the Ruthless Business Man Chapter Seven – An Unspoken Understanding
Elysia sat motionless long after James had left, staring at the ring Adrian had slipped onto her finger. It felt foreign, heavier than it should, as if it carried the weight of a thousand unsaid words. The cool metal burned against her skin, not with pain, but with an awareness she couldn’t shake.She had been stripped of everything—her dignity, her baby, her trust—but here Adrian was, filling the void with something else. Something powerful.Was it protection? Ownership? Or something deeper she wasn’t ready to name?The room felt suffocating, and she exhaled slowly, trying to process the mess that had become her life.Adrian, who had remained still beside her, finally let out a low breath. “You did well,” he said, his voice quiet but firm.Elysia scoffed, shaking her head. “Did I?” she whispered bitterly, her fingers tightening around the sheets. “I lost everything, Adrian. My child, my family, my home—” her voice cracked, but she swallowed down the lump in her throat. “And now, I we

Elysia barely had time to adjust to the tumultuous rollercoaster feelings swirling inside her when the door to her hospital room swung open with a force that rattled the walls. James Carter stormed in, his face flushed with rage, his eyes burning with fury. His whole presence radiated anger, and Elysia felt herself shrinking in the bed, as if her body instinctively knew the storm was coming.“You sued me?!” James bellowed, his voice echoing off the sterile walls. “How dare you?” His fists clenched, his knuckles white, his body tense with a barely contained rage. He stepped toward her, each movement filled with authority, but also desperation. Elysia could see it now—the cracks in his veneer of control.Before she could even speak, Adrian was already on his feet, a commanding presence between her and her ex-husband. His posture was unwavering, his eyes cold and merciless. It was as though the air had thickened with his energy, and in that instant, Elysia saw him as something else entir

Adrian stood by the door, watching Elysia with an unreadable expression. The divorce papers were now signed, and the weight of the decision hung between them like a fragile thread. “That’s a good decision,” he said finally, his voice low, but there was an undeniable softness in it. A part of him seemed to understand exactly what she was going through. He seemed to know the pain in her heart, the confusion, the endless ache. He’d felt it before. He didn’t speak further, but for a moment, his gaze lingered on her, as if trying to communicate something unspoken, something more than just business, something buried in the depths of his own heart. A shared understanding of loss. A shared pain that they both wore like shadows, even though neither had ever spoken of it before. He stepped back, breaking the silence. “Get some rest. You’ve had a rough day.” His voice was quiet, almost gentle. It wasn’t his usual tone, the cold, calculating man who took what he wanted without hesitation. This

The sterile, white hospital room felt suffocating as Elysia lay there, trapped in a body that ached and a heart that shattered. The steady beep of the heart monitor seemed like a cruel joke, marking the pulse of someone who had already died in every way that mattered.Her world had been stolen—first her family, now her future. Betrayed, discarded, abandoned. All the pieces of her life that once held meaning were scattered like broken glass, and she was left with nothing but the jagged shards.Adrian Wolfe’s presence in her room was like a constant weight pressing down on her chest. He had come to her with truth—his brand of truth, harsh and brutal, delivering the revelation of her husband’s treachery with no hesitation. And now, instead of leaving her to drown in the wreckage of her life, he stood there, silently observing her, as if waiting for something.Elysia’s gaze lifted to meet his, the anger simmering behind her eyes. She was tired of pretending, tired of the pity she could se

Silence thickened the air between them, tense and suffocating. The steady beeping of the heart monitor was the only sound in the room.She stared at him, trying to process the weight of his words."Your company."A laugh, dry and humorless, escaped her lips. “You must be mistaken, Mr. Wolfe. Carter Industries belongs to me. My father—”“Your father is dead,” Adrian cut in, his voice even, devoid of sympathy. “And Carter Industries no longer belongs to you.”Her breath hitched. A sharp pang stabbed through her chest, but she shook her head, gripping the thin hospital blanket like it was the only thing keeping her grounded. “No. That’s impossible. I haven’t sold my shares. I haven’t signed anything away.”Adrian tilted his head slightly, a ghost of a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “Oh? Is that so?”The room felt smaller, suffocating.“Why don’t you call your lawyer and ask him?”His words were like a slap.Her throat tightened, but she didn’t hesitate. She grabbed her phone fr

The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor drummed in the silence. The smell of antiseptic clung to the air, sharp and sterile. The dim hospital room felt cold, almost lifeless, except for the heavy weight of grief pressing down on her chest.She stared at the ceiling, her throat raw from crying. The weight of what had happened pressed down on her, suffocating.Her baby was gone.Her marriage was over.Her life—everything she had built, everything she had loved—had crumbled in a single night.And yet… she was still here.Her fingers trembled as she wiped away the tear that had slipped down her cheek. She could still hear his voice echoing in her head, the disgust, the dismissal."You can’t even carry a pregnancy properly."Her stomach twisted. A fresh wave of nausea crawled up her throat.No.She wouldn’t break. Not for him. Not for anyone.Taking a slow breath, she shifted to sit up, ignoring the dull ache in her abdomen. The IV tugged at her skin, reminding her of just how weak she w

The scent of antiseptic burned her nostrils. The fluorescent hospital lights above were too bright, almost blinding, as she forced her heavy eyelids open. A sharp, agonizing pain coiled in her lower abdomen, making her breath hitch. Her hands trembled as she reached down, pressing against the thin hospital gown covering her stomach. It was flat. Empty.No.A sob clawed its way up her throat. She could feel the sting of IV lines in her wrist, the steady beep of the heart monitor filling the sterile silence around her. But none of it mattered.“My baby…” she whispered, her voice hoarse, breaking on the last word.A nurse standing beside her stiffened. Pity flashed across her face before she glanced at the doctor at the foot of the bed.The doctor exhaled. “I’m sorry. We couldn’t save the baby.”The world tilted.No. No, no, no.Her fingers clutched the thin sheet, twisting the fabric as if she could anchor herself, as if she could hold onto something—anything—to stop the overwhelming we
