His Ruin Chapter 27
DrisanaHis jaw clenched so tightly I thought it might crack."Don't." His voice was low. "I mean it, Drisana."I let out a bitter laugh. "There you go again, threatening me.""I'm warning you.""No…” I shook my head, “…You're trying to save yourself."His eyes searched mine desperately."I don't care what you think about me.""Clearly.""But you need to stop.""I won't.""I can protect you."That made me laugh. "Protect me?"I looked at him like I'd never seen him before."From who?"Silence. My smile disappeared."Exactly."I stepped around him."I'm done listening to you.""Drisana."I didn't stop walking."Drisana."His voice followed me through the hallway. I kept going. I heard his footsteps. Then they stopped. For reasons I couldn't understand, he didn't follow me.The café was nearly empty.It sat at the edge of downtown, tucked between two old brick buildings where hardly anyone paid attention to who came and went.I chose the table furthest from the entrance.

His Ruin Chapter 25
DrisanaThe quarterly strategy meeting dragged on, but I barely heard a word anyone was saying.Graphs filled the projector screen while department heads debated budgets and expansion plans. I nodded whenever someone looked in my direction, pretending to follow the conversation.My phone vibrated against the conference table.Unknown Number. I almost ignored it. Instead, I unlocked the screen.“You should've left the ledger alone.”“Destroy the drive.”“This is your only warning.”For a second, my mind went completely blank. The room around me faded. My heart lurched painfully against my ribs.The encrypted files. No one else knew about it.No one except… Armani.My fingers tightened around the phone. The words he'd spoken the night before replayed in my head."Whatever you're thinking of doing...""Don't."I remembered the way he'd looked at me. The way he'd refused to answer my questions. Something inside me shattered. He knew. He'd known all along. He wasn't trying to protect me.
His Ruin Chapter 24
ArmaniThe mansion was unusually quiet the next morning. Sunlight spilled through the dining room windows, illuminating the untouched breakfast spread between us.Drisana arrived a few minutes after I did. The faint redness on her cheek had faded overnight. She didn't look at me. She quietly poured herself a cup of coffee before taking a seat across from me.Neither of us spoke. The silence was hostile.Now and then, I'd glance up from my coffee.She was reading through emails on her tablet, completely unaware that I'd spent half the night trying to erase every trace of what she'd done.My jaw tightened.Stubborn. Reckless. Infuriating.If she had simply talked to me...If she'd trusted me…None of this would've happened.She picked up her handbag. The same handbag. The one carrying the flash drive. My eyes lingered on it for a fraction longer than I intended.She noticed.Her fingers instinctively tightened around the strap. She thought I was watching her.In reality, I was watching
His Ruin Chapter 23
ArmaniThe bedroom door clicked shut behind me.I didn't stop walking.The hallway was empty, the mansion silent at this hour. I took the staircase down instead of the elevator, crossed the west wing, and stopped in front of what looked like an ordinary bookshelf inside my private library.My thumb pressed against a carved wooden panel. A soft mechanical click echoed. The bookshelf slid sideways.Cold air spilled from the hidden room beyond. I stepped inside. The door sealed itself behind me.Rows of monitors lit up one after another, bathing the room in a pale blue glow.Most people believed this room was where I monitored SpectraGuard's cybersecurity systems.They were only half right. The center screen came alive first.DRISANA VARMA. A timeline appeared beneath her name.Phone. Tablet. Desktop. Laptop. Vehicle GPS. Home activity.I sat down. My fingers moved across the keyboard almost automatically. The system replayed everything she'd done after leaving the mansion.The cameras
His Ruin Chapter 22
Drisana A sharp sting spread across my cheek, followed by a dull throb. I tasted blood where my teeth had caught the inside of my lip.I didn't look at him. I couldn't."That's what happens," my father said through gritted teeth, "when an ungrateful daughter forgets her place."A pair of polished shoes stopped beside me. I knew who it was before I even looked.Armani.His hand rose slowly. I flinched on instinct. His fingers paused for the briefest second before gently cupping my cheek.The complete opposite of the hand that had just struck me. His thumb brushed lightly beneath my eye."So..." he said quietly. His voice was calm."Did he hurt you anywhere else?"I swallowed. "No."His gaze lingered on the growing redness across my face. His jaw tightened. I watched the muscle tick beneath his skin.My father scoffed. "This is a family matter."Armani didn't even look at him."You've made enough of a scene," my father continued. "Leave. What happens between my daughter and me is none
His Ruin Chapter 7
Drisana My hands were at my throat. I pulled them down and pressed them flat against the mattress, waiting for my breathing to even out. My neck was stiff. My shoulder was numb. I didn’t even remember when I drifted off to sleep. The dream was still sitting on my chest like it always did aft

Armani I stared at her message on the screen. See you in class tomorrow, Rian. She knew. Not suspected or guessed. She fucking knew. I sat completely still in my chair and pressed my thumb hard into the scar on my left hand until the skin split and stung. I thought I still had weeks left
His Ruin Chapter 5
DRISANA He was already smirking when our eyes met. Chills ran down my spine. “Mr Stalker?” I didn’t mean to say it, but that was the first thing that came out of my mouth. The smirk vanished as soon as I turned to face him. “W—What? I wasn’t stalking—” he began. “How do you know about th
His Ruin Chapter 8
Armani She was asleep beside me, breathing soft and even, and I was losing my fucking mind. The silk scarf she had found earlier still sat in the drawer like evidence. I had watched her go very still when she saw it. She had pretended nothing was wrong, but I saw the slight tremble in her finger
