The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride The Court of Public Opinion
The morning after the Regars scandal broke, the city awoke to a changed world. The revelations about Daniel and his family had spread like wildfire overnight, dominating every conversation from subway cars to coffee shops, from university lecture halls to corporate boardrooms.By dawn, a crowd had gathered outside the Regars Enterprises headquarters. What began as a few curious onlookers quickly grew into hundreds of protesters. Their angry chants echoed off the glass and steel exterior of the once-proud building.“Shame on Regars! Justice for the victims!” they shouted, waving hastily made signs bearing slogans like “Corrupt Regars Must Fall” and “No More Corporate Criminals.”Sarah Lin, a former Regars employee who left the company two years ago due to harassment, was among the protesters. She stood at the front of the crowd, her voice hoarse from shouting.“I tried to speak up,” she told a cluster of reporters, her hands shaking slightly. “But they silenced me, threatened me with m

Elara’s phone buzzed as she rolled over in bed. She slowly opened her eyes and picked up her phone, her friend’s name flashing on the screen.“Hello, baby girl,” Tessa’s cheerful voice rang out. “Don’t tell me you’re still sleeping.”“Yes, I am,” Elara replied, rubbing her eyes.“Do you know what today means?” Tessa asked, excitement lacing her voice.“About what?” Elara mumbled.“Today is the downfall of the Regars!” Tessa screamed.“Oh, right!” Elara’s eyes flew wide open. Today was the day—the day Daniel and his family would finally fall. “I need to get ready.”“You should,” Tessa agreed. “I won’t be able to come. My parents didn’t allow me.”“Okay, make sure to watch the news,” Elara responded before ending the call. She quickly jumped out of bed and stripped off her clothes, heading for the bathroom. After a quick shower, she dried off, applied lotion, and slipped into a short, elegant dress. She combed her hair, then hurried out of her room.“Hurry up, Damian,” Elara called impa

Elara’s footsteps echoed in the empty lobby of her former firm, the polished marble floors gleaming under the harsh fluorescent lights. As she rode the elevator to the top floor, her heart pounded in her chest—a mix of trepidation and determination coursing through her veins.This was it—the moment she had both dreaded and anticipated. After weeks of careful planning and strategizing with Damian, the time had come to confront Charles Montgomery, the man she had once trusted with her very future. The same man who ruined her life.The elevator doors slid open, and she strode down the familiar hallway, her heels clicking with purpose. She paused briefly outside the ornate double doors of Charles’ office, taking a deep, steadying breath before pushing them open.Charles looked up from his desk, his eyes widening in surprise at the unexpected visitor. “Elara! What a...” his voice trailed off as he took in her deadly expression. “What can I do for you?”“Save it, Charles,” she said, her voi

Elara’s eyes blazed with anger as she listened to Charles’ words, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. “Selfish?” she seethed, her voice trembling with barely contained rage. “How dare you call me selfish after all that you’ve done?”Charles stood frozen, his eyes flickering towards the door, contemplating his escape. But Elara was far from done. She advanced towards him, her voice low and menacing. “You betrayed me. You sold me out to the Regars, and now you have the nerve to beg for forgiveness? To expect me to show you mercy?”Elara’s words cut through the tension in the room like a knife. Charles stayed silent, his face pale, as she continued speaking.“I worked my entire life for the career you helped destroy. I climbed out of the dirt, out of poverty, taking care of my mother and brother along the way. I trusted you!” Her voice cracked under the weight of betrayal. “And now you want me to just let it go because you’re scared of the consequences?”Charles tried to speak, b

Elara’s heels clicked against the pavement as she walked toward her car, her body still trembling with rage. The confrontation with Charles had left her emotionally drained, yet somehow empowered. She had finally stood up to him, laid bare his hypocrisy, and made her intentions clear. As she reached for the car door handle, a chill ran down her spine. Something felt off.She glanced around the dimly lit parking lot, seeing nothing out of the ordinary. Yet, the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. Her years of experience had sharpened her instincts, and right now, they were screaming danger.“Mrs. Blackwood!” her driver, Marcus, called out as he hurried toward her. “Is everything alright? You seem upset.”Elara forced a smile. “I’m fine, Marcus. Just a... challenging meeting.” She hesitated, then added, “Actually, could you do a quick check around the car? I have a strange feeling.”Marcus nodded, his expression serious. He’d been with the Blackwood family long enough to trust E

“Welcome to my hell, honey,” he whispered, his sinister smile making Elara shudder.“Stay away from me,” she hissed.Charles scoffed, smoothing her hair with his hand as he smiled like an innocent gentleman. It was the same smile she was familiar with, the one that had once made her think he was a good guy—a sweet, innocent soul.“You still don’t get your situation, honey, or are you playing dumb like an idiot?” He smirked, his gaze pinning her down. Her body trembled under his scrutiny, but she knew better than to show weakness to the devil standing before her.The atmosphere in the dimly lit room was suffocating. Elara’s heart pounded, her mind racing to make sense of her new reality. She had known Charles was capable of cruelty for selling her out, but this? This was beyond anything she could have imagined.Her gaze flicked to Asher, standing off to the side with his arms crossed, watching with cold amusement. She didn’t know him, but she could sense the sadistic nature in the way

After he left, Asher turned around, giving her a deadly vibe. Elara hoped and prayed he wouldn’t harass her like before.“What’s with the dead stare?” he asked with a scoff. “Do you think that’s gonna help you in this situation?”“I’m not staring at you,” she said, trying to play her cards right. Maybe she could convince him to let her go.“Then what the hell are you doing?” he asked, approaching her. Each step sent fear through her. The room felt colder with every step he took, the air thick with an unspoken threat. Her heart pounded in her chest, the sound almost deafening in the silence. She could see the malice in his eyes, and each second felt like an eternity. Was he planning to do that to her again? “I can’t believe I’ve actually turned into a kidnapper.” He dug his hand into his hair, clearly annoyed. Elara’s eyes flared with hope. If he wasn’t a kidnapper, maybe he could help her escape. Maybe Charles forced him into this, or maybe he needed money. She could offer him money i

Asher’s WarehouseElara’s mind raced. Every fiber of her being screamed at her to run, to fight, but the sheer terror of Asher’s words rooted her in place. A killer? Her body felt cold, numb, as the reality of the situation began to sink in.“Why me?” she asked, her voice trembling. “Why are you doing this?”Asher leaned in, his breath warm against her face, but his presence sent shivers down her spine. “You’ll find out soon enough,” he whispered, his voice dripping with malice. “But don’t worry, I like to play with my food before devouring it.”“Why?” she screamed again, her voice desperate.“I don’t know,” he replied with a scoff. “You shouldn’t have offended him.”She recoiled from him, fear flooding her senses. She couldn’t die here. She wouldn’t die here. Not like this. Desperately, she tried to think of a way out, but every option seemed impossible. There had to be a way to break through to him. There must be something, she thought. Anything.“Please,” she whispered, trying a di

The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride Introducing my new project
Six Ten years. Ten fucking years of blood, bullets, and brotherhood.I stared at the ornate ceiling of Don Vicenzo's study, counting the cherubs painted in some long-dead artist's vision of heaven. Ironic, considering the hell that transpired in the room below them."You understand what you're asking, Six?" The Don's voice carried the weight of tradition. Of rules written in blood. "La fratellanza is for life."I kept my expression neutral, years of training holding my features in check. "I understand, Don Vicenzo. But I've served faithfully. I've never asked for anything before."The Don's fingers drummed against his mahogany desk – the same desk where I'd pledged my loyalty a decade ago. A frightened kid with blood on his hands and nowhere else to go. Now I was his best enforcer, the shadow that kept La fratellanza's enemies awake at night."The number six," he mused, "has become quite the legend. Our rivals whisper about it. The police have entire task forces dedicated to it." A wr
The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride Epilogue: Legacies and Redemptions

The world of Damian and Elara had transformed, each piece falling into a complex but harmonious puzzle of success, love, and calculated revenge.Jackson and Tessa’s relationship had blossomed into something unexpected and profound. What had begun as a professional connection had gradually evolved into a passionate romance. Jackson, now known for his cold, calculated approach to business, had found a softness in Tessa that he never thought possible.She brought light to his structured world, her carefree spirit balancing his intense personality. They had married a year after Damian and Elara’s epic wedding - a celebration that had been the talk of high society.That wedding - Damian’s grand gesture to Elara - had been nothing short of spectacular. He had spared no expense, transforming an entire historic estate into a breathtaking venue. Thousands of white roses lined the pathways, crystal chandeliers hung
The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride The Prison Visit
Elara stood at the doorway, waving at Tessa until her car disappeared down the driveway. A soft smile lingered on her lips, but it quickly faded as she turned back to the house, her thoughts drifting back to Damian.His presence always left her both breathless and overwhelmed, and the way he had looked at her this morning stayed imprinted in her mind. She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts.Walking back inside, she passed a few maids tidying up the living room. They greeted her with polite smiles, and she returned the gesture before heading to Ace’s nursery. She found him sound asleep, his tiny hands curled into fists. Elizabeth had decorated the nursery in soft pastels, filling it with warmth and love. Elara stood by the crib, watching her son’s chest rise and fall.***The concrete walls of the women’s correctional facility felt cold and unforgiving. Elizabeth walked with measured steps, her elegant demeanor unchanged despite the stark surroundings. Her purse was carefully

They rested for a while before Elara stood up.“I need to bathe,” she said, rising to her feet.“Are you sure?” Damian asked, noticing her legs trembling slightly.“Yes,” she replied. She knew she needed some space from him; otherwise, he might take her again. “I’ll be back.” With trembling legs, she carefully made her way to the bathroom. Under the spray of the shower, she sighed contentedly, still feeling the lingering warmth of Damian’s affection on her skin.She quickly washed herself, then reached for a towel to dry off. Wrapping it securely around her, she walked back to the bedroom. At the nightstand, she found her moisturizer and began applying it to her skin. Her body trembled under Damian’s intense gaze, which followed her every movement.“Stop looking,” she said, glaring at him.“Why should I? I can never get enough of you.”A blush crept onto her face as she turned away. “Don’t say that,” she whispered.“I won’t get tired of saying it, honey. You’ll just have to adapt.”Ela
The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride Elara
The first light of dawn gently filtered through the sheer curtains of the penthouse, casting a warm, golden hue across the room. Outside, the world was slowly waking up, but inside their bedroom, a peaceful stillness enveloped them, as if time had paused.Elara was nestled against Damian, her head resting on his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. His arm was wrapped around her, his hand gently tracing circles on her bare shoulder.Damian stirred, his eyes fluttering open to find Elara already gazing at him. Her soft smile greeted him, and for a moment, he allowed himself to bask in the serenity of her presence.“Good morning,” she whispered, her voice still husky from sleep.“Good morning, love,” he replied, his voice deep and warm. He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead, his lips lingering as if savoring the simplicity of the moment. “Did you sleep well?”Elara nodded, her fingers tracing the defined lines of his chest. “I always sleep well when you’re here.”A

“She’s finished,” Jackson said quietly, his voice filled with grim satisfaction. “There’s no coming back from this.”Damian nodded, though his mind was already elsewhere. “She made her choice.”Jackson glanced at his friend, studying the hard lines of Damian’s face. “And Daniel?”“He won’t get far,” Damian replied, his voice low and confident. “By the time he realizes his escape route is compromised, it will be too late. The authorities will handle the rest.”For a moment before Jackson spoke again. “Do you think she meant it?”Damian arched a brow. “Meant what?”“When she said she loved you.”Damian’s lips curled into a cold, humorless smile. “Love?” He scoffed. “Vera doesn’t know the meaning of the word. What she feels isn’t love. It’s an obsession. An insatiable need to possess what she can’t have.”Jackson exhaled softly. “I guess I always knew. I just hoped…” He trailed off, shaking his head. “It doesn’t matter now.”Damian’s gaze softened briefly. “You deserved better, Jackson.
The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride Truth
Vera stumbled backward, her legs shaky beneath her as the walls of her reality closed in. Her heart raced, and her mind screamed for a way out, for a lifeline, but none appeared.The calculated calm she once wielded like a weapon was shattered, leaving only the raw, frantic fear of a woman cornered.“You... you don’t know anything!” Vera spat, her voice trembling with a mix of fury and desperation. “You’re bluffing.”Jackson’s smirk only deepened. “Am I?” He leaned against the edge of the mahogany desk, arms crossed, watching her unravel with an almost clinical detachment. “Let me guess, you’re thinking of running, aren’t you?” His eyes gleamed with amusement. “Trying to calculate how far you can get before we catch you?”Damian’s cold gaze remained fixed on her, unyielding and unmerciful. “You’re not going anywhere, Vera. Not until you answer for your sins.”“I’ve committed no sins!” she shouted, her voice cracking under the pressure. “You’re just trying to pin your failures on me. Y
The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride Trap
“Jackson.” Vera’s voice echoed through the silent room. She had been called by him, and now she stood in his study, surrounded by towering bookshelves and the lingering scent of old paper.She smiled as she walked around, her fingers trailing along the spines of leather-bound volumes, searching for something she couldn’t quite name. The late afternoon light filtered through heavy curtains, casting long shadows across the Persian rug.She was still searching the room when Jackson walked in. His footsteps were nearly silent on the thick carpet, but something in the air changed – a shift in pressure, perhaps, or just the weight of his presence.“You’re here.” His voice startled her, making her stop immediately. She rose to her feet, trying to compose herself. “Vera.” His tone was cold, like ice, as he walked toward her.“Yes,” she replied with a smile. A smile she knew Jackson always looked forward to. “You called me here? Is something wrong?” She placed her hand on his chest as Jackson
The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride Illusions of Victory
The sterile lights of Damian’s penthouse cast a cold, artificial glow across the room, but the atmosphere between him and Jackson was anything but sterile. It buzzed with an undercurrent of controlled chaos, the final pieces of a counter-plan falling seamlessly into place.Damian leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled beneath his chin, his sharp gaze locked on Jackson. “You’ve done well, Jackson. Vera and Daniel need to know who they were planning for. I will make them suffer and regret ever thinking of hurting me or my loved ones.” His voice was calm, but the satisfaction lurking beneath it was unmistakable.Jackson met his gaze with equal confidence. “She underestimated me. So did Daniel. They thought I was nothing more than a pawn.”Damian’s lips curved into a faint, dangerous smile. “You’ve proven otherwise.”Jackson appreciated the rare acknowledgment, but his mind was already on the next move. “Daniel will act soon. His pride won’t let him sit idle. He’s desperate, and despe
