Kade’s POV

I’d poured myself another drink, though I’d stopped tasting anything hours ago because the whiskey burned but not enough to quiet what kept replaying in my head.

The way her body pressed against mine when those shameless moans escaped her lips when she called out my name. I slammed the glass down on the counter, watching the amber liquid spill across it.

“Enough,” I murmured more to myself than anyone. But my heart didn’t listen no matter how much I hated her for what she was doing t

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    We Meet Again

    Lia’s POVKade stood there for a long moment, his fists clenched so tightly at his sides, his dark eyes burning with rage as he looked at my bruised face, but something in my broken whisper must have reached him because he finally took a small step back, his jaw still tight as he exhaled slowly through his nose. He didn’t say another word, he just stared at me with that intense look that made my chest ache even more. Then, he gave one sharp nod, allowing Julian to carry me out of the boutique while the whole place remained frozen in awkward silence, everyone watching like they were afraid that he might do something worse.Without wasting any time, Julian held me closer against his chest and rushed me to the car, his movements careful but urgent as he settled me gently in the passenger seat and drove straight to the hospital, his hand never leaving mine the whole way, squeezing it every few seconds like he was scared I might disappear. “I’m so sorry, baby,” he said, his voice full of

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO CHOICES

    Lia’s POVJulian held me tightly in his arms as he carried me toward the boutique's exit, his steps fast and urgent. At the same time, he kept whispering soft words of comfort against my hair, telling me everything would be okay and that he was taking me straight to the hospital. My cheek throbbed painfully with every movement, the swelling already making my eye feel tight and heavy, but the real pain was deeper, sitting heavy in my chest as I tried to process everything that had just happened, the way my brother had looked at me with such disgust, the way Selene had smiled like she had won, and worst of all, Kade’s presence filling the entire room like a storm about to break.But before Julian could push the door open, Kade stepped forward and blocked the exit completely, his tall, powerful body standing like a wall in front of us, his shoulders squared and his dark eyes burning with fury. His dark eyes were locked on my face, on the bruise that was quickly forming on my cheek, and

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    THE FIGHT

    Lia’s POVJulian walked straight toward us, his hand reaching for my arm as he pulled me closer to him protectively, his body tense like he was ready to fight whoever had hurt me, and his eyes moved quickly between Noah and Selene with growing suspicion. “What the hell is going on here?” he demanded, his voice sharp and demanding as he held me tightly against his side. “Why is Lia crying? And why do you both look like you’re in the middle of something? Selene, did you say something to her again?”Noah crossed his arms over his chest, his face still cold and hard as he glanced at Selene before answering, almost like he was proud to stand beside her. “She was about to slap Selene for no reason, Julian. My sister is completely out of control, embarrassing herself and our family in public while wearing a wedding dress. Selene was only trying to be nice and congratulate her on the wedding.”Selene stepped forward with that fake soft expression, dabbing at her eyes like she was the poor v

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    FAMILY KNIFE

    Lia’s POVBefore I could say a word, Noah yanked my wrist down hard and pulled me away from Selene toward a quieter corner near the fitting rooms, his grip tight and unforgiving like he was ashamed even to touch me right now. I stumbled after him in the heavy wedding dress, the fabric dragging across the polished floor as my chest tightened with shock and sharp pain, tears already burning at the corners of my eyes.“Noah, please, it’s not what it looks like,” I whispered quickly, trying to pull my hand free, but he wouldn’t let go, his fingers digging in harder as he dragged me further away from the curious eyes of the boutique staff.He stopped suddenly and turned to face me, his eyes dark with pure contempt as he looked me up and down in the beautiful white gown, as if it were something filthy. “Not what it looks like?” he said bitterly, his voice low but filled with so much anger it made my stomach twist. “You were about to slap her in public, in the middle of your wedding dress

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    WHITE LIES & RED VENOM

    Lia’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

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    DESK OF LIES

    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,

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    My Obsession

    Kade’s POV“Don’t fucking lie to me, Mark,” my voice dropped low and dangerous. “Tell me the truth, or I will peel your skin off piece by piece.”Mark was on his knees. Blood dripped from his mouth, one eye shut while the other was wild with fear. My fist cracked across his jaw with a more brutal f
