Lia’s POV

Kade searched my face like he was trying to read the truth I hadn’t said aloud, “What the fuck did you just say?” His voice came out low and dangerous. I swallowed hard, my heart pounding like a drum in my ears as the elevator doors had just closed again.

“I said you were right,” I whispered, “About Julian.” Kade’s eyes narrowed as his chest rose and fell heavily. “What about him?”

My throat burned with so much I wanted to say, and I forced it out either way, “Julian has been lying t

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    FOREVER BEGINS TODAY

    Lia’s POVNine Months Later****The first thing I heard that morning was crying.The crying that somehow sounded far louder than something coming from a six-month-old baby should.Before I even opened my eyes, I was smiling."Kali."The crying continued through the baby monitor; meanwhile, beside me, Kade groaned into his pillow. I turned my head toward him and found one eye barely open, his expression carrying the deep suffering of a man who had been asked to do the impossible."Your daughter is awake.""Our daughter.""Your daughter right now."The crying grew louder, as if Kali had decided neither of us was moving fast enough. Kade stared at the ceiling for several seconds, clearly hoping the problem would somehow solve itself.With the heaviest sigh imaginable, he pushed himself upright."I'm being bullied.""You've been saying that since she was born.""Because it's true."A soft laughter escaped me as he disappeared from the room.A few minutes later he returned carrying a very

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    A NEW BEGINNING

    Lia’s POVOne month later.Morning sunlight streamed through the apartment windows, spilling across the hardwood floor in soft bands of gold while the scent of freshly brewed tea lingered in the air. I stood in the kitchen with a warm cup between my hands, listening to Noah and Damien argue from the other side of the room."That wasn't what happened.""That is exactly what happened.""No.""Yes.""No.""Yes."I closed my eyes briefly and shook my head.Neither of them even noticed.Somehow, over the past month, Noah and Damien had become completely unbearable whenever they were together. Every conversation and disagreement became a battle neither of them was willing to lose.The argument continued in the background as I took another sip of tea and let my attention drift elsewhere.For the first time in longer than I could remember, life felt quiet—no emergency phone calls in the middle of the night. No waking up wondering what disaster was waiting around the corner. After everything

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    THE SHOWDOWN

    Lia’s POVThe gunfire outside erupted again.The deafening cracks tore through the warehouse, echoing off the metal walls until it felt as though the entire building was trembling.Julian's smile vanished as he turned sharply toward the warehouse entrance, and another round of gunfire rang out. His attention shifted to Noah before returning to the entrance."Take them deeper inside."Three men stepped toward us instantly. But before they could reach us, another burst of gunfire exploded outside. One of the men near the entrance suddenly jerked backward as a bullet punched through the warehouse door beside him.He hit the ground instantly."Move!" One of the men shouted.Julian spun around and drew his gun, rushing outside the warehouse. The remaining guards rushed after him, and within seconds, they were charging toward the entrance.The warehouse, packed with armed men only moments ago, suddenly felt half-empty. Silence settled between us as Noah looked at me, and I looked at him too

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    WE MEET AGAIN

    Lia’s POVBy the time I reached the place Julian had sent, my hands shook so badly I could hardly hold the steering wheel. The cold metal kept slipping under my palms. At the same time, the old warehouse appeared ahead at the edge of the abandoned industrial area, surrounded by rusted containers and broken fences that sagged like forgotten bones under the dark sky. I sat inside the car for a long moment, my heart pounding hard against my ribs until it hurt, the clock on the dashboard counting down the little time I had left. Noah was still my brother, no matter how many times he had picked Selene, no matter the lies and betrayals that had ripped us apart, and I could not let him die alone in this empty place. I pushed the door open, the cold night air hitting my face like a warning, and stepped out onto the gravel that crunched too loudly under my shoes.The warehouse entrance stood open like a black mouth waiting for me, as if Julian had known exactly when I would come and what I

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    ONE HOUR

    Lia’s POVDamien hadn’t even reached the door when Kade’s voice sliced through the room.“Who did it?”The question carried a dangerous edge, sharp and controlled, tightening the air around us. Damien paused mid-step and turned slowly, his shoulders tense. He didn’t speak right away, as the weight of the truth seemed to press down on him.“Julian.”The instant the name left his mouth, everything inside Kade went completely still, that familiar shift settling over him—the one I’d seen before everything turned to chaos. His eyes hardened, calculating.“What?” Kade said quietly.“They hit the safe house with precision. I don’t know how he knew the routes, the guard changes, and the timing. And it wasn’t just an attack.” He paused, his jaw clenched tight. “This is war.”Kade exhaled slowly through his nose, the sound barely audible. When he spoke again, his voice had dropped lower, colder. “Gather all my men. Tell them Julian doesn’t leave this alive.”Damien hesitated for half a second

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    THE GOOD NEWS

    Lia’s POVI didn't know how long I stood there after Kade told me Noah betrayed him. The apartment had grown quieter after Damien left to deal with the men outside. Broken pieces of wood still littered the floor near the entrance, a reminder of Julian's visit, but for the first time since I'd arrived there, I didn't feel like someone was about to kick the door down.Kade was standing near the window, speaking into his phone. His voice was low and controlled as he gave instructions to someone on the other end of the line.I watched him without meaning to.The last few days had changed him.Or maybe they had stripped away the parts he usually kept hidden.There was exhaustion written all over Kade's face. It showed in the dark circles beneath his eyes, in the tension locked into his shoulders, and in the way he rubbed the back of his neck after ending the call. It was the kind of tiredness that no amount of sleep could fix.When he finally turned around, he caught me staring. For a mom

    Lia’s POVI woke up to the weight of his body. Not his arms, but the heat of his body beside mine as we still lay on the couch. Our bare skin tangled against the sheets.My chest tightened as the memories of last night came flooding back into my mind. The anger, how hard I had pushed him. My tears,
