Semua Bab The Ruthless Billionaire's Revenge: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Adrian sat in his office, staring at the cityscape beyond the glass walls. The skyline stretched before him, a dazzling sea of lights, but he barely saw it. His thoughts were tangled in the past, in memories he had long buried but never truly escaped.For years, he had been certain of what had happened that night—the night everything had fallen apart. The night he had walked into his office and seen the undeniable proof of Elena’s betrayal.The night he had let her go.Yet now, an unsettling doubt curled its way into his chest, wrapping around his ribs like iron chains. It was an ache that refused to fade, a whisper that refused to be silenced.Had he been wrong all along?He exhaled sharply and leaned forward, elbows resting on his desk. His fingers curled into a fist as he forced himself to relive that night in excruciating detail.The office had been dimly lit, the glow from his desk lamp casting eerie shadows across the room. The moment he stepped inside, he knew something was off

Elena sat in her small apartment, staring at the city lights through her window. The past few days had shaken her. Secrets were surfacing, truths unraveling. Adrian was beginning to see that she had never betrayed him.But did it matter?Her fingers traced the rim of her coffee cup as she tried to ignore the ache in her chest. She had spent years trying to hate him. She had told herself over and over that the man who destroyed her didn’t deserve her love.And yet…She closed her eyes and let the memories flood in—memories she had buried deep, but never truly let go of.She had loved Adrian from the very first moment. He wasn’t just a billionaire CEO wrapped in an intimidating aura; he was kind beneath the ice, fiercely protective, and the only man who had ever truly seen her.Their love had been a wildfire, intense and unstoppable.He had held her like she was the most precious thing in the world. Whispered promises in the dark. Made her believe she was the one thing in his life that

Adrian stood outside Lucas’s office, his jaw tight, his hands clenched into fists. He hadn’t planned to stop here—his focus had been to get to his own office and see what he can do.But then, as he passed by, he heard his name.And Elena’s.Something in Lucas’s voice made him stop.Inside the office, Lucas paced back and forth, his voice tense."You think I wanted things to turn out this way?" he snapped at whoever was on the other end of the call. "Do you think I planned for Adrian to find out?"Adrian’s heart pounded.Find out what?He leaned against the wall, listening.Lucas exhaled sharply. "I did what I had to do. If I hadn’t set Elena up, she would’ve ruined everything. She was getting too close. If Adrian had listened to her back then, you think pulling the money will be that easy? I had to set her up as a cover for it."Adrian’s breath caught in his throat.Set her up.The words echoed in his mind, slamming into him like a fist.For years, he had believed Elena had betrayed h

The scandal surrounding Lucas had erupted like wildfire, spreading faster than anyone could contain it.Every news outlet ran the story in relentless cycles, dissecting every detail, every transaction, every whisper of betrayal.The company's investors were panicking, and Adrian knew one thing for certain—Lucas wouldn’t go down without a fight.He had already vanished from the public eye, slipping into the shadows like a man who had rehearsed his escape plan long before the storm hit.Adrian clenched his jaw.Lucas was covering his tracks.But Adrian wasn’t about to let him get away with it."Sir, we’ve gone through every financial report for the last five years, as you instructed," Sophie said, walking into his office with a thick folder in her hands. Her usually calm demeanor was edged with urgency. "Lucas hid things well, but we found inconsistencies in the overseas accounts."Adrian took the folder and flipped through the pages, his sharp eyes scanning the numbers. The patterns em

Adrian clenched his jaw so tightly it ached. His pulse pounded in his ears, and his hands curled into fists at his sides. He wanted to hunt Lucas down, drag him back, and make him pay for every single thing he had done.For the betrayal.For the lies.For what he had taken from Elena.But no amount of justice would undo what had been done to her.No matter what he did now, it wouldn’t erase the years of pain she had endured because of his blindness.The thought gnawed at him, sharp and relentless, as he turned toward the door.Just before he could step out, Sophie’s voice cut through the silence."Sir?"Her face was grim, her usually composed expression carrying a rare weight of concern.Adrian paused, his shoulders stiff."What happened?" she asked.His grip on the doorknob tightened. "Lucas is on the run," he said, the words laced with barely contained fury.Sophie’s eyes widened slightly. "Sir?"She hesitated, studying his face."Are you okay?"A bitter laugh escaped Adrian before
