His Rules, Her Ruin
I had a one-night stand with the man who destroyed my brother’s life. Unknown to me, he’s the man I’m supposed to be investigating… Now, I’m carrying his child—and he’s the only thing keeping me alive.
Jenny Havans neatly controlled lifestyle all changed the night she had a reckless encounter with a man she didn’t know would spark a desire she couldn’t resist… and unknowingly, tie her to the man who was behind the destruction of everything she's ever loved.
Adrian Red… he's a well known, respected business man to everyone else. But a scheming mafia boss behind closed curtains. Adrian offers her a choice… The Contract. And as their forced proximity gradually turned their hatred into a forbidden desire, Jenny later uncovers the most heartbreaking truth of all… that one night wasn't just a random encounter. But she was collateral.
Years ago, her father used her as collateral to get a loan, and if he couldn't repay… she would be taken. Adrian didn't just stumble into her life—he bought her. Now, stuck between her mission for vengeance and a craving she can’t escape… Jenny is pregnant with the heir to an empire she once swore to ruin.

Chapter: ADRIAN POV. THE OFFER Chapter 10 • ADRIAN POVIt been hours since, after she had left. I stayed where I was. Not a single step toward the door. Just my thoughts and the distant sound of the city sprawling beneath me. lights blinking from below like distant stars. Cars weaved, people moving, lives unaware of the games played above them.From my office balcony, I could see it all… the city I once ruled in shadow. The domain I once thought was untouchable, now… threatened. Not by another rival…But by a woman.The silence of the office pressed in. I poured myself a glass of whiskey, letting the amber liquid catch the light. I didn’t drink it. Not yet. My mind was elsewhere. A chessboard. Moves and countermoves spinning faster than my pulse.I replayed every second. Every word. Every flash of defiance in her eyes. I had already considered killing her. It was the cleanest, easiest way to eliminate a threat and bury the problem permanentlyBut, she wasn’t just any problem. She was something else entirel

Chapter: ADRIAN POV I was watching her before she even stepped into the building. Camera three caught the taxi slowing by the curb. Camera four caught the door opening. Camera six caught her stepping out. She paused for half a second before finally entering the building. The building had that effect. Tall glass. Cold steel. No warmth. It was designed to make people feel small before they even reached the elevator. She adjusted her bag on her shoulder and walked in anyway. No hesitation. Interesting. I leaned back in my chair and watched the screens. My office was quiet. Too quiet. No assistants. No guards inside. Just me and the low hum of the monitors. She passed through security without issue. I had made sure of that. No alarms. No interruptions. I wanted her calm. Calm people revealed more. The elevator camera caught her reflection. Her jaw was tight. Her eyes were focused straight ahead. She held herself like someone walking into danger but refusing to acknowledge it. Not brave. Controlled

Chapter: Adrian pov- Dead people can't answer questionsADRIAN pov:“Dispose of him quietly.” I ordered, leaving them behind as I made my way back into the van. “Yes, sir.” They're voice responded in a sharp sync, as they carried his half-breathing body, into the back.The city blurred past the windows as we drove back in silence. No talk. Just focus. Jenny had vanished, yes, but chaos hadn’t followed yet. That’s what matters.The meeting place sat hidden in plain sight. An old private club that had gone bankrupt years ago, with it's name stripped from the records. But what no one knew was that behind those bars was a fingerprint lock and a steel door. Where the real room waited there.They were already there when I arrived. Three of them. The only men I trusted enough to sit across from. Men who have bled with me, laughed with me, buried problems with me. Business partners and friends, depending on the night.“Adrian,” Luca said first, slowly lifting his glass, his voice giving away the fact that he was completely under the influence of

Chapter: Adrian povADRIAN POV“They know sir.” The words cut through the quiet of my office. I did not look up immediately. I finished signing the document in front of me, capped the pen, and set it aside with practiced calm. “Who knows,” I asked calmly, “and what do they know?” There was a brief pause on the line. I could hear breathing. Timid but slightly controlled.“Two auditors,” the voice said. “They took up the case tonight. The girl came in a few hours ago. She was… shaking. Paranoid.”Interesting, I thought to myself. “What did she report?” “From what I overheard sir. Redwell Biotech was mentioned.” That… got my attention.I leaned back in my chair slowly. Redwell was a name that did not surface unless someone had already stepped too close into actually finding out something.“Who is ‘she’?” I asked. “And who exactly is handling the case?”“She’s the sister to the man who died at the warehouse yesterday, sir,” the insider said. “She knows a lot sir. T-too much, she wasn’t guessing at all.”

Chapter: A Dangerous ProposalJenny's pov The next morning came within the blink of an eye, my head was still really heavy. Weighing me with memories from last night. Replaying. The alley. Daniel’s last words, and Adrian’s cold voice over the phone. The thudding in my chest gradually began beating unevenly, as each memory graced through my mind in a brutal pictorial remembrance. I moved through my apartment out of habit. Taking a quick bath. Although, the warmth of the water splashing gently against my skin did very little in terms of easing my nerves. I closed my eyes, letting the water soak through my hair. Feeling the coolness it offered as it graced down my scalp. But regardless, the memories kept replaying in an endless loop. I could still smell the scent of his blood mixed with the thickness of the air of that alley. I immediately shook my head, attempting to pull myself out of my own mind. “You’ve handled worse,” I muttered to myself, in a low voice. “You’re Jenny Havan. You dont back down. Yo

Chapter: Blood in the AlleyI lifted my head slowly, my hands still slick with Daniel's blood, my breath caught halfway in my chest. Polished shoes stopped a few feet from us.They were expensive. Immaculate. Completely out of place in the filth of this alley.My gaze carefully traveled upward. To tailored trousers. A dark coat and a hand hanging loosely at his side. The gun was almost casual in his grip. My breathing hitched unevenly.I followed the line of his arm, forcing myself to look up, even as every instinct screamed at me not to. That was when I saw his face.... Calm, controlled. Adrian Red.I knew who he was. Everyone in the city knew the Redwell Biotech logo; it was on every hospital, every pharmacy, every government health directive. He was the man who kept the city alive... and apparently, he was also the man who'd decide on who lives or not.His cold stern gaze moved from Daniel's body to me. A flicker of recognition sparked in his eyes... not the way a stranger looks at a face, but the way a coll
