The Billionaire's Little Brother
**This book is the second book in the Billionaire series. It can be read as a standalone novel, but it is highly suggested that you read The Billionaire’s First Glance prior to this novel.**
I, Zander Cavanaugh, the all-American football quarterback, have done something that could get me killed. I fell in love with the brilliant, curvy mafia princess Isabella Aventini at first sight. Everything about Isabella called to me: her captivating blue eyes, her soft caramel skin, every dip and curve of her voluptuous body was just the start. Isabella was smart, kind, and funny. The kind of girl you can’t help but fall in love with. I know she felt the same way as I did. We were drawn together like magnets, but that’s not how the mafia works. Isabella is a commodity to be sold or brokered for the sake of alliances and has been promised to the ruthless and cutthroat DeMarco family since birth — a fate she neither wants nor needs. Isabella’s father, Mafia Don Salvatore Aventini, has managed to keep us apart by sending Isabella away to finish high school. However, when fates aligned, Isabella not only ended up attending the same university as me, but she’s also my college-assigned tutor. I know there is no chance for us, and still I fell in love with her, knowing it could mean my death.

Chapter: Chapter 42 – My IzzyIsabella’s POVI’m just about to leave the Economics building when one of my professors stops me.“Great work on your last paper, Isabella,” the professor stated. “Very insightful. I see you used a lot of Dutton Marks' work to support your paper.”“Yes, he actually is my Economic hero,” I giggled.“We’ve been trying to get him to come down and speak to the students, but he’s been so busy we haven’t been able to coordinate it,” he informed.“My parents' friend is best friends with Mr. Marks,” I advised. “I could see if they could reach out to him on behalf of the university.”“Oh, that would be brilliant, Isabella,” Professor Martin replied. “Let’s discuss it tomorrow. You need to go home, young lady. You spend far too much time here.” He chuckled.“My second home, you know,” I laughed.“Have a good night, Isabella,” Professor Martin said before walking away.“Good night, professor,” I responded.I walked out the doors of the Rotunda. It was a nice leisurely walk back to my apartment,

Chapter: Chapter 41 - TutorTwo Months LaterZander’s POVThe last three days have been a whirlwind of activities. I flew home to New York for the Quints' first birthday. It was a huge party. Ame had promised James Irvine, her journalist friend, an exclusive on a day in the life of the Michaels’ family. There was a photo shoot and everything. I might be a bit bias, but I think they are the cutest kids on the planet. Plus, now I’m officially Uncle Zan. The first time I heard Aurora say it, I can’t lie, it made my heart clench with joy. Now, I’m on the plane heading back to Baton Rouge. I’m scrolling through my phone, looking at all the pictures of Dante and Samson with chocolate cake and icing from head to toe and tons of pictures of hugs from everyone. I really do miss my family when I’m away, especially Logan. We have definitely developed a strong brotherly bond. Eliza cried when I had to leave, and it nearly broke my heart. Nathan promised her they would fly down for one of my games, and she’s already planning

Chapter: Chapter 40 – Rain ShowersIsabella’s POVI stepped off the plane with a huge, gigantic smile on my face. This is the first time ever I’ve been on my own. Like, truly on my own. No relatives, no bodyguards, and thank goodness, no Antonio DeMarco. He had returned three times when I was over in Italy. The first time, I was able to fake being sick. The second time, I suggested taking Bianca out for supper to get to know her better. I could tell his anger was building because he couldn't control me. The third time he returned, I couldn’t make up an excuse, but luckily, just as we were about to leave, my Mama showed up like a guardian angel. She had apologized to Antonio and said there was a family emergency with my great zio in Rome and that I was needed. I never returned to Milan. I had written my last exam the day before. After visiting a very healthy Zio Patricio, we flew back to New York. Papa contacted Pasquel DeMarco, and Antonio was told to back off and leave me alone until the wedding, when I was 21.So, he

Chapter: Chapter 39 – On the MoveTen Months LaterZander’s POVI stepped off the jet. I can’t believe I’m here. Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I feel like I need to pinch myself. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would get all the attention I’ve gotten from LSU. They are the premier university for producing quarterbacks who go on to the big leagues, and they wanted me, the boy with the golden arm. I check my phone to see the time, but in reality, I check it to look at Isabella’s picture. I made her my screen saver last year, and I‘m not changing it. I don’t care that I haven’t heard from her in ten months; she will be my wife one day. I think something happened with the mafia when she was in Italy. Regardless, I’m not giving up. The picture on my phone reminded me of that.“Zander!” A male voice called to me.I look up to see Mr. Poplin walking towards me. “Mr. Poplin,” I said, smiling.He reached out to shake my hand. “Zander, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Murray?” he chuckled.“Sorry, just a habit

Chapter: Chapter 38 – My Good Little DollIsabella’s POVThere was a commotion in the corner. I tried to pretend I wasn’t looking or hearing anything.“My name isn’t Isabella, Antonio!” The woman screamed as she climbed off Antonio. “It’s Naomi, you know that. How many times have you fucked me? Who’s this Isabella bitch?”“Calm down, Naomi,” Antonio called back to her as she stomped off towards the bathroom.I could hear the guys at the bar laughing as Antonio approached them.Fabio, one of Antonio’s security team, patted him on the back and said, “Provi dei sentimenti per la tua piccola mucca?” (Are you catching feelings for your little cow?)Antonio replied, “Certo che no, perché dovrei volere una mucca piccola quando posso avere tutte quelle belle puledre nella stalla?” (Of course not, why would I want a small cow when I can have all the beautiful fillies in the stable?)They all laughed and looked over at me.One of the servers came over to me and handed me a bag.“Isabella, I’m Elise. Capo Antonio would like you to go to

Chapter: Chapter 37 – ClubIsabella’s POVBy the time I came to, from fainting, Antonio’s security was throwing Vincenzo’s body into the gorge. So that’s why the villa was conveniently on the edge of a cliff. I looked around, and no one inside was even looking our way. So, either the glass was soundproof, people inside knew to mind their own business or a combination of both.“Isabella, are you ok?” Antonio asked, hovering over me.“No, I’m not ok,” I snapped. “You killed a man in front of me.”“He touched you,” Antonio stated. “That is a death penalty.”“You don’t own me, Antonio,” I scoffed.“You are mine, Isabella,” Antonio proclaimed. “Whether I like it or not. I protect what is mine. No one touches what is mine.”I went to stand up, and Antonio scooped me into his arms.“Put me down, you jerk!” I exclaimed.“No,” Antonio said, bluntly.“Antonio, put me down!” I screamed.“Still no, and don’t scream at me,” Antonio smirked.I huffed and crossed my arms.“You know, when you’re angry, you’re adorable,” Antoni

Chapter: Bonus – The Billionaire’s Friends – Tiff and Samuel – TenSamuel’s POVTiff isn’t answering my calls, and she’s not responding to my texts. What the fuck did I do wrong? I don’t understand. The other night was basically the best night of my life. I know that it was hers, too, but here I am about to arrive at Carrington’s mansion for the rehearsal and dinner with no word from her. Perhaps I can speak with her alone when I get there.I pull up to the front of the mansion, and Carrington has valet parking. Of course, he does — nothing but the best for Carrington. I walk in the front door and walk into organized chaos. There have to be 20 people working on decorating for the big day tomorrow. I catch my pretty little Red over with Morgan. She doesn’t look up at me at all. I wanted to run over to her, take her in my arms, and steal every one of her breaths with my kisses. I will bide my time, though.“Samuel!” Carrington exclaimed. “Great, everyone is here, now we just need the bride and groom. Come have a drink.”“Am I late?” I asked, puzzled.“

Chapter: Bonus – The Billionaire’s Friends – Tiff and Samuel – NineSamuel’s POVI checked the security camera for my place, and Tiff is no longer there. I sent her a text.Samuel: Hey, my beautiful Red. Hope you have a wonderful day. See you tonight :)There was no reply. She must be busy, so I’ll try her again later. I can honestly say I’ve been completely unproductive today. I was attentive and on point at the three meetings, but as far as any time spent at my desk, I was a pylon. I just sat at my desk and thought about every curve of my sweet little Red.“Knock, knock,” Cynthia said, leaning on the door of my office.In the past, I would have jumped at her beck and call, but now, she was my past. Tiff is now my future and is better than anything I had with Cynthia.“Hey Cynthia,” I said, leaning back in my chair. “What brings you to floor forty-two?”“Now, now, Samuel. Is that any way to greet me?” Cynthia purred as she entered my office, closed the door, and put on the privacy glass. “It’s been a long time, Samuel.”Cynthia slinked over to my des

Chapter: Bonus – The Billionaire’s Friends – Tiff and Samuel – EightSamuel’s POVI hated getting up and leaving her, but I had a really important meeting first thing this morning. We were up most of the night as I couldn’t get enough of my sweet little pretty one. By the time we slept, Red was exhausted. So, here I am in the shower, regretfully washing off the smell of sex and of Red. I wish she were in the shower with me, but I don’t have the heart to wake her up. When my alarm went off this morning, she didn’t even flinch.Peter is a fucking idiot for leaving her, but I’m certainly glad he did. Every inch of her body was made for me. Last night, I think I touched, licked, or kissed every inch of her, too. I don’t think Peter ever worshipped her like the goddess she is. Well, fuck you, Peter, she’s mine now, and she will never settle for less than what I can give her, and right now I’m willing to give her everything, including my soul.I hopped out of the shower and headed to my closet. I chuckled to myself, remembering how she ripped the buttons off

Chapter: Bonus – The Billionaire’s Friends – Tiff and Samuel – SevenTiff’s POVI slowly crawled along the mattress. Something in Samuel’s command lit my inner sex goddess. I didn’t know if I looked it, but I sure felt it.“Fuck. Yes. Just like that, Red,” Samuel groaned.When I reached Samuel, I kneeled up, grabbed the front of his dress shirt, and pulled it open, hard. Buttons flew everywhere. I had seen it done in a movie and had always wanted to try it; it actually worked!“Hey,” Samuel smirked. “That was my favorite shirt.”“Oh, I’m so sorry,” I gasped.“I’m teasing, Red,” Samuel chuckled.I play slapped Samuel on the chest and giggled. My hand lingered on his rock-hard chest. Fuck, he must work out constantly.“Getting rough with me, Red?” Samuel chuckled as he shed his shirt to the ground.I went to lift my hand off his chest, and Samuel stopped it. He dragged my hand down to his belt.“I still need help with these,” he grinned.I gulped hard, and my other hand went to his waist.“Don’t be timid, Red,” Samuel said in a low rolling growl.Fuck. I

Chapter: Bonus – The Billionaire’s Friends – Tiff and Samuel – SixTiff’s POVSamuel drove so fast on the way back to his place that everything was a blur. We pulled up to a brownstone façade building.“You live in a brownstone?” I said, shocked.“Yes, are you surprised?” Samuel asked.“How much is Nathan paying you?” I giggled.“It’s actually a family property I inherited when my Aunt passed away,” Samuel advised.“Oh, I’m sorry for your loss,” I uttered. “I didn’t mean to be so rude.”“You weren’t rude,” Samuel said, touching my face. “I like that you’re curious.”“It must be hell to find parking,” I declared.“Actually, I have a parking spot across the street. I thought I’d drop you off so you don’t have to walk,” Samuel informed me.“I can walk with you,” I said, smiling.“Are you sure?” Samuel asked.“Positive,” I affirmed.“Ok,” Samuel grinned. “You’re the first girl ever to say that.”Samuel pulled out into the road and turned into the parking garage across the street.“How many girls have you had over, man whore?” I joked.Samuel laughed loud

Chapter: Bonus – The Billionaire’s Friends – Tiff and Samuel – FiveSamuel’s POVTiff and I have been missing each other on text for the last two days. I’ve been so busy with acquisitions that I’ve been at the office day and night. I did, however, manage to convince her to meet me for dinner this evening.It’s 7:00 pm, and I’m seated at a table at the Modern, when I see Tiff walk in. She is dressed in a sage green floral dress. She looks edible. Classy with a hint of mischief.I stood up and pulled the seat out for her as she approached.“I hope I didn’t keep you very long, Samuel,” Tiff exclaimed, then she sat down. “Thank you, Samuel.”“You’re not late, I just enjoy the opportunity to watch my date walk into the restaurant,” I grinned, retaking my seat. “You can tell a lot about a woman by how she carries herself.”“Well, I’d love to hear what intel you gathered from me walking in,” Tiff smirked.“You don’t take any crap. You’ve been known to take down people who disrespect your friends,” I stated. “You like sports over ballet, but you are a true th
