All Chapters of The Billionaire's Exception: Elena's Revenge : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

***Elena’s POV*** “Congratulations, Mrs. Hart. You’re three weeks gone.” For a moment, I thought I misheard. Me?? Pregnant??!! “I’m… I'm what?” My voice came out thin, fragile, like it might shatter if I pushed it too hard. The doctor smiled gently as he slid the report across the desk. “Pregnant. Everything looks normal so far. You just need to rest properly from time to time and do not stress yourself.” My hands trembled as I grabbed the paper. My eyes skimmed the lines once. Then twice. Then again. Positive. Yes, positive. The word stared back at me, bold and undeniable. I sucked in a sharp breath, my chest tightening as disbelief gave way to something hot and overwhelming. Joy. Relief. Hope. Real, dangerous hope. “Thank you,” I whispered, already standing, feeling adrenaline rush through me. I didn’t wait for anything else. I rushed out of the clinic with the report clutched tightly in my hand, my heart racing as if it wanted to outrun my body. I called fo

***Dominic's POV***“You sure not one survived?” I asked, my voice cutting through the silent night air like a blade.Rooks, my personal assistant and right-hand man replied. “Yes, Boss. We made sure to clear them all. Not a single gangster is left breathing.”As much I wanted to believe him, I couldn't. I needed to confirm myself. I've always been like that. Seeing was believing so I started walking towards the place that used to be their hideout.I’ve learned, much in a harsh way—never take anyone’s word as truth. In my world, I don't get to sleep with my both eyes closed.Not after I had witnessed betrayal firsthand when I was just six. The memory never faded, and I don't think it ever will. My father, Chief Alfred, once hailed as the fiercest and most successful CEO in the Blackhood lineage, knelt with a golden dagger –his own dagger buried in his heart. His best friend and right-hand man stood over him, blood dripping from the blade with a triumphant smirk tugging on his lips.I

***Elena’s POV*** Entertaining?? I scoffed internally. What the hell does he mean by that?? The word echoed in my mind long after Dominic left the study. I didn’t know if he meant work… or humiliation. Given the sharp gleam in his eyes, I suspected both. The maid escorted me back to the room where I’d first woken up. My mind was a storm of thoughts — confusion, hatred, curiosity, fear. Mostly fear though. But beneath it all lay a small, stubborn ember of defiance that refused to die no matter how battered I was. I had survived hell once already… I would not break again. I sank into the sofa near the massive window. The morning light cut through the glass, spilling gold over polished marble floors. Somewhere below, I could hear the faint buzz of activity — guards, men talking, engines running. This is Dominic’s world… Ruthless. Efficient. Dangerous. Sadly… mine now, too. Juliet appeared not long after. Her kind eyes studied me carefully, like she already knew so

***Elena’s POV***The words "file under Elena Hart’s name" kept replaying in my head long after the guard left the room.My spine had gone rigid the moment I saw the look on Dominic’s face.Not anger.Not even surprise.Something colder.Something that made the air feel too thin.He had stood there for a second, silent and still, with that unreadable expression that made men lower their voices and women forget their names. Then he took the call from the intercom without looking away from me.“Bring it to my office,” he said.The line went dead.He didn’t explain. He didn’t need to.My pulse had already started racing, my palms slick with sweat. My mind was moving too fast, tripping over itself.I had withheld my last name for a reason. I had known it would brew trouble the moment it left my mouth. But I had also known there was no taking it back once Dominic decided to dig.Dominic wasn’t stupid. He was far too dangerous for that. No one else could be the Elena Hart on that file.My t

***Elena's POV***“Before we begin,”Dominic said, his voice calm enough to be insulting, “there is something you should all know.”No one said a word.He reached into his pocket and placed the marriage certificate on the table.A couple of men blinked.Someone actually made a strangled sound.Dominic’s gaze swept the room.“This is Elena Blackwood... My wife.”The silence that followed was so complete it felt physically heavy.Then came the shock.“Your what?” one of the board members blurted before he could stop himself.Dominic looked at him as if he had just found a particularly loud insect on the table.“My wife.”Another man leaned forward sharply. “When did this happen?”Dominic turned his head slightly. “That wouldn't be any of your concern.”That nearly broke the room.A woman in the political bloc actually looked faint.I almost felt bad for her.Almost.One of the older directors narrowed his eyes. “This is highly irregular.”Dominic gave a thin smile. “You say that as thoug
