Lia’s POV

The suitcase lay open on my bed as I folded the last silk blouse—the emerald one I wore the first day I crashed into Kade’s world. I pressed it down harder than necessary. The fabric resisted, wrinkling under my palms. I smoothed it anyway, over and over, until it had finally surrendered.

Today is the day I was finally leaving the country with Julian.

I could still feel the ghost of his thumb tracing that same line months ago…the night I made that stupid deal with him to save my broth

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    The Start Of War

    Julian’s POV“Where the fuck is she?!”My voice echoed through the sprawling penthouse like a gunshot. I stormed forward, fists clenched so tight my knuckles cracked. Selene sat there on her pristine white sofa, legs crossed elegantly, that signature smirk playing on her lips like this was all some amusing game.She took a slow sip of her wine, completely unbothered. “Julian, darling. You’re going to have to be more specific. Where is who?”“Don’t play dumb with me, Selene!” I roared, closing the distance between us. “Lia is gone. Her suitcase was dumped in the hallway. Her phone is switched off. She was supposed to meet me ten minutes ago so we could leave the country. Now tell me what the hell you did with her!”Selene arched a perfectly groomed eyebrow, setting her glass down on the marble table with a soft clink. “Lia’s missing? Oh no… how tragic.” Her tone dripped with sarcasm. “And you immediately assume I had something to do with it? That’s rather insulting.”I laughed bitterly

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    Vanished

    Julian’s POVThe city traffic had been kinder than usual, almost like the universe was finally giving us a break. I glanced at the dashboard clock—right on time. Ten minutes, just like I’d told Lia. My fingers drummed lightly on the steering wheel as I pulled into the underground parking of her building, a small smile tugging at my lips despite the nerves twisting in my stomach.This was it. Today we were leaving everything behind. The drama, the danger, the shadow of Kade Vander that had loomed over us for far too long. A new country, a fresh start. Just Lia and me. I could already picture her beside me on the plane, her head on my shoulder, finally breathing easy for the first time in months.I grabbed the bouquet of white lilies from the passenger seat—her favorite—and headed up to her floor. The elevator ride felt longer than usual. When the doors opened, my smile faltered.The hallway wasn’t empty.Lia’s suitcase lay abandoned in the middle of the corridor, tilted on its side l

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    A Rough Lesson

    Lia’s POVMy back was still pressed against the cool wall, wrists pinned above my head in Kade’s iron grip, when the last of my resistance shattered.His mouth claimed mine again—harder this time, deeper, like he was pouring every ounce of pent-up fury and possession into the kiss. I moaned against his lips, the sound muffled and desperate. My body betrayed me completely, arching into him even as my mind screamed that this was wrong. Julian was waiting for me to be on a plane right now.But Kade didn’t care about any of that.“You’re mine,” he growled against my mouth, biting my lower lip hard enough to sting. “Say it.”I shook my head, panting. “No—”He spun me around so fast the room blurred. My chest slammed against the wall, his powerful body molding to my back. One large hand kept my wrists trapped high above me while the other yanked my blouse open with a sharp rip of fabric. Buttons scattered across the marble floor like tiny casualties.“Kade—” I gasped.His hand slid inside t

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    Mine To Keep

    Lia’s POVMy head throbbed like someone had taken a hammer to my skull.I groaned, eyelids heavy as lead, and tried to lift my hand to my face. The movement sent a fresh wave of nausea rolling through me. Everything felt wrong—the air too cool, the sheets too soft, the silence too complete. My lashes fluttered open, and for a second, the world was nothing but blurred gold and cream.This wasn’t my apartment.I bolted upright, heart slamming against my ribs. The room spun for a moment before settling into sharp, expensive focus. A massive four-poster bed with black silk sheets. Floor-to-ceiling windows draped in heavy velvet curtains that blocked out most of the light. Crystal chandeliers hung from a ceiling painted with delicate gold filigree. On the nightstand sat a vase of blood-red roses so perfect they looked artificial.This was a cage wrapped in luxury.Memories slammed into me one after another. The hallway. The leather glove over my mouth. The sickeningly sweet smell of chlor

The fabric resisted, wrinkling under my palms. I smoothed it anyway, over and over, until it had finally surrendered.Today is the day I was finally leaving the country with Julian.I could still feel the ghost of his thumb tracing that same line months ago…the night I made that stupid deal with him to save my brother.“Stop thinking about him, Lia!” I muttered to myself, and I yanked my hand back as if the blouse had burned me.No. He wasn’t mine anymore…he had never really been. Five days from now he’d stand at an altar in a black suit that cost more than most people’s rent, and get married to that evil bitch.I zipped the suitcase shut, the sound echoing through my quiet apartment. Too final.RING!The sound of my phone buzzing on the nightstand shattered through my thoughts. I turned instantly to see

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    Fear Has A Face

    Kade’s POVThe moment I stepped into my penthouse, I could already feel her sitting there. The scent of her perfume suffocated as she sat on the velvet couch, her legs crossed majestically.She held the glass of red wine in her hands like she owned the world, “Where have you been Kade?” Her smile was slow and deliberate as she spoke, which dripped with nothing but fake concern. I shut the door behind me and locked it, my movements too calm and controlled—the kind that only comes before I snapped. She could feel it as I stepped closer, “Where’s the video?”Selene blinked once, the practiced kind of surprise that appeared on her face anytime she wanted to fake that stupid innocence. “Video?” she repeated, tilting her head, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”“Don’t play games with me,” I snapped. My voice is low, dangerous, “You know exactly what I’m talking about.”A bitter laughter tore out of her as she swirled her wine. “Kade, you’re scaring me. Why would you think I’m hiding

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    The Lie I Tell Myself

    Lia’s POVI woke up to the sunlight sneaking through the curtains—the kind of morning light that pretends nothing happened the night before.For a second, I almost believed it was an ordinary morning. Then I shifted, and the ache between my thighs reminded me of what Kade did to me last night.His

    Lia’s POV“Let me go!!” I snapped, trying to keep my voice steady. Kade’s jaw tightened with rage even more, “You think I can, after everything you said? After you let that fucking cunt touch you?”I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat before then parting my lips to speak. “You don’t get to

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    The Deal

    Lia’s POVI had no idea what the hell I was thinking when I agreed to follow Julian back to his place. Maybe it was the fact that he’d just offered me twenty thousand dollars like it was pocket change. Or because his eyes lingered on me for too long like I wasn’t invisible the way everyone else ha

Wonder what she’s been up to these past few days.I’d already gotten used to a thousand rejections in my life but crushed them all into dust. But hers—hers lingered too long that it w
