MasukLia’s POVThe soft lighting in the expensive bridal boutique made everything look dreamy and perfect. Still, I felt absolutely nothing as I stood in front of the tall mirror wearing yet another heavy white gown covered in delicate lace and sparkling crystals that caught the light with every small movement. “Oh my goodness!” The consultant clasped her hands together, beaming at me in the mirror. “This one is absolutely stunning on you! The way it hugs your waist and flows down… It’s like it was made for you, darling. Julian is going to lose his breath the moment he sees you walking down the aisle. You look like a real princess!”I forced a bright smile, turning slightly in front of the mirror as I ran my hands over the sparkling lace. “It’s beautiful… really beautiful,” I said softly, trying to sound excited. “I can already imagine Julian’s face when he sees me in this. I feel like the luckiest girl alive.”This dress, this wedding, this entire life I was stepping into, none of it fe
Lia’s POV“Please, Julian, I need you so much right now,” I whispered against his ear, my voice low and needy as I pressed my body closer to his, letting his shirt slip further off my shoulder so he could see my bare skin glowing in the dim light of the study.Julian’s hands tightened on my waist, his breathing growing heavier as suspicion slowly gave way to hunger in his eyes. He pulled me flush against him, his mouth crashing down on mine in a deep, possessive kiss that tasted like both love and control. I kissed him back just as eagerly, sliding my hands up his chest and into his hair, moaning softly into his mouth to make him believe every second of it.“You’ve been acting so strange tonight,” he murmured against my lips, but his hands were already moving, sliding under the hem of his shirt I was wearing and gripping my bare ass. “But fuck, Lia, when you talk like that I can’t think straight.”I smiled against his mouth and whispered, “Then don’t think, just take me, right here,
Lia’s POVThe house was completely quiet except for the soft sound of Julian’s steady breathing beside me as he slept deeply after the long stressful night at our engagement party, but sleep refused to come for me no matter how hard I tried. My mind kept racing with thoughts of Kade and that dangerous look he gave me across the ballroom, the way he had taken me so roughly in the bathroom, and most of all the recording that Julian still held over my head like a weapon. I had to find it, I had to destroy it if I ever wanted any real chance of freedom from this mess I had created. I had waited until I was sure Julian was fast asleep, then I carefully slipped out of bed, my bare feet making almost no sound on the cool wooden floor as I picked up his discarded shirt and pulled it over my naked body. The hallway felt endless and shadowy in the middle of the night, every small creak of the floorboards making my heart jump into my throat while I moved silently toward his private study. I
Kade’s POVThe city lights blurred past the tinted windows of the SUV as we drove away from the engagement party, the silence inside the car, while Selene sat beside me with that sharp, knowing smile playing on her red lips. I could still taste Lia on my tongue, still feel the heat of her body wrapped so tightly around me in that bathroom, the way she had moaned my name even while her fiancé waited just outside the door, and the memory made my blood run hot even as anger and frustration boiled underneath my skin.Selene shifted closer on the leather seat, crossing her legs slowly, her expensive perfume filling the small space between us and making the air feel even heavier. “You really couldn’t help yourself tonight, could you?” she said softly, her voice sweet but dripping with venom. “Dragging me to your little whore’s engagement party just so you could watch her smile at another man, pathetic, Kade, truly pathetic.”I kept my eyes fixed on the passing buildings outside, my jaw ti
Lia’s POVMy hands were still shaking as I quickly smoothed down my dress one last time, wiped the tears from my cheeks, and tried to fix my messy hair in the mirror, my heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of my chest. Kade had slipped out through the back exit just seconds before, but I was still terrified he might have left something behind. I took one last deep breath, forced a weak smile on my face, and finally unlocked the door.The moment I opened it, Julian was standing right there, his face filled with worry and growing suspicion. His eyes immediately scanned me from head to toe, taking in my flushed cheeks, slightly swollen lips, and the wrinkles in my dress that I couldn’t fully hide.“Lia, what the hell took you so long?” he asked, his voice tight. “You sounded strange through the door. Are you sure you’re okay?”I tried to block the entrance casually with my body, smiling as best as I could even though my legs still felt weak from everything Kade had ju
Lia’s POVMy eyes widened in pure panic as Julian’s voice came through the door again, sounding more worried this time, and Kade was still buried so deep inside me, his thick cock twitching with every small movement while his hot release slowly leaked down my thighs, making my skin feel sticky and warm. The marble counter felt ice cold against my bare skin, but Kade’s body was burning hot pressed against me, his familiar scent of sandalwood and something darker wrapping around me like a dangerous drug, mixing with the heavy smell of sex that now filled the elegant bathroom.“Lia?” Julian called again, his voice louder and closer to the door. “Baby, are you okay? You’ve been in there too long, talk to me.”I opened my mouth to answer but Kade chose that exact moment to slowly roll his hips forward, pushing his still-hard cock even deeper inside me. A broken whimper escaped my throat before I could stop it. My walls fluttered around him helplessly, still so sensitive from the intense
Lia’s POVFor a moment everything stopped between us—the noise, the music, and the world itself.All I could feel was his breath on my lips and the wild pounding of our heartbeats against each other.I didn’t even think it through before coming here. One moment, I was standing in front of my house—
Lia’s POVJulian’s touch had vanished. The warmth of his body on me that had been fire a second ago felt like nothing now. I blinked, trying to understand what had changed in him as his body grew tense; his chest rose and fell too fast.“Julian?” My voice came out quieter than it should have. “What

Lia’s POVJulian didn’t waste time as he tore off my left underwear impatiently, just as soon as he said those words to me. After he had smelt it, he threw it to the side of the bed once satisfied.“Lia” he called out, getting more erect as he saw my exposed vagina as I just lay there watching him
