Lahat ng Kabanata ng Surrendering to the Billionaire: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

The night was thick with anticipation, the city humming beneath them as Adrian’s car sped through the darkened streets. The air inside the armored SUV was electric, the hum of the city passing in a blur beyond the tinted windows. Not from the mission ahead, but from something far more dangerous, the raw tension between Adrian and Amelia.Adrian sat in the backseat, his expression unreadable as he checked his gun, sliding a full magazine into place with a sharp click. Across from him, Amelia mirrored his movements, her fingers steady as she followed his lead. She wasn’t the same woman who had walked into his life months ago.Now? Now she was part of the game.She could feel his intensity, the way his hand gripped the gun too tightly, the rigid set of his jaw. He hadn’t spoken much since leaving Black Enterprises, but his energy filled every inch of the car.The interior of the car was dim, the faint glow of streetlights casting sharp angl

The world outside Adrian’s penthouse blurred in streaks of city lights, but inside, it was chaos. Not the kind of chaos that came with gunfire or threats. This was different. This was Adrian Black unhinged, dangerous, possessive, and completely unraveling beneath the weight of what had just happened. He had spent his life controlling every variable, staying five steps ahead of every enemy. But tonight? Victor Calloway had flipped the board. And worst of all, he had used Amelia as the bait. She stood by the window, wrapped in nothing but Adrian’s silk sheets, watching the rain smear against the glass. Her skin still burned where his hands had gripped her, where his mouth had claimed her. But despite the f

The dust had barely settled, the stench of gunpowder still clinging to the air, but for Adrian Black, the war was over. Victor Calloway was done. Or at least, for now. Amelia stood over Victor, her gun pressed against his forehead, her pulse still pounding. She had expected Adrian to stop her, to tell her that killing Victor would be crossing a line she couldn't return from. But when she flicked her gaze toward Adrian, all she saw was approval. “Go ahead,” Adrian murmured, voice dark and edged with something deadly. “Put a bullet in him.” Victor laughed, blood dripping from his lips. “You don’t have it in you, sweetheart.” 

The ride back to the city was steeped in heavy silence. The tension from the meeting lingered, stretching between Adrian and Amelia like a taut wire ready to snap. The revelation of Ethan’s supposed son had disrupted the balance of power, a move Elizabeth Cavendish had played with calculated precision. Adrian sat rigidly in the back seat of the Maybach, one hand drumming against his knee, the other gripping the armrest with barely contained restraint. His stormy gray eyes were fixed on the city lights streaking past the tinted windows, but Amelia knew he wasn’t seeing them. His mind was elsewhere, dissecting Elizabeth’s words, weighing every possibility, every consequence. Amelia, on the other hand, was caught in a whirlwind of emotions she refused to acknowledge. Betrayal wasn’t new to her, not when it came t

The jet cut through the dark sky, slicing across the Atlantic like a blade. Inside the cabin, tension crackled in the air, thick and unrelenting. Adrian sat in his seat, his fingers tapping against the armrest as his mind worked through every possible scenario. The photo of the boy rested on the table before him, its edges slightly curled from being handled too many times. His eyes didn’t leave it. Amelia sat beside him, her arms crossed, her stomach twisted in knots. “Adrian,” she said quietly, watching him with cautious eyes. “What if we’re walking into a trap?” Adrian exhaled slowly, his gaze still locked on the photo. “Then we make sure we’re the ones holding the leash.” Marcus, seated across from them, checked his ta
