Lia’s POV

I 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 had made me feel at that damn event. Maybe it was just that, for the first time since Kade, someone wanted me—and not to use me or throw me away like some trash.

At least, that’s what I told myself.

But the second I stepped into his penthouse, my breath caught in my throat. It was stunning. From the floor-to-ceiling windows casting city lights shadows inside, to the black marble clean floors and clean, modern furniture.

The walls were decorated with paintings of different kinds that screamed money and taste. It reeked of wealth, power, and a life I’d once gotten too comfortable in when I lived in Kade’s world.

And that was the problem.

Because the more I looked around, the more it reminded me

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    Fractured Truths

    Kade’s POVGuests left the ballroom one by one, their murmurs fading like dying echoes when they walked out. But I could still feel their glare burning into my skin as I stood there with my jaws clenched tightly.All I could hear was the sound of my own heartbeat—and Selene’s cries somewhere in the distance which did nothing but echo in my ears like a broken record.The silence that came afterwards was worse, because that was when the truth pressed down on me — I’d told Lia to leave. Fuck! I could still see the look on her face when I said it, the confusion in her eyes before she turned away.That wasn’t supposed to happen. But I had no choice because if I’d pulled her close or even showed a flicker of my feelings for her, Selene would’ve torn her apart.So I’d done the only thing that could keep her safe — made it look like I didn’t care, like she didn’t mean a damn thing to me. I walked to the bar to grab myself a bottle of whiskey, gulping the liquid down my throat even though it d

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    The Humiliation

    Lia’s POVI didn’t have to turn to know who stood at the door of the restroom before I even heard her voice. “I knew it,” Selene hissed. “My fiancé and his little slut all alone doing God knows what.”The air left my lungs, Kade going completely numb beside me while his hand hovered midair from our argument moments ago.A thick and heavy silence immediately filled the room, as if the entire restroom had stopped breathing to watch the scene unfold. The only sound heard was just the distant hums of violins coming from the ballroom.Glasses clinking, with the murmurs of a hundred people celebrating what was supposed to be Selene and Kade’s perfect night. Meanwhile here, everything felt like it was falling apart.Selene stood framed in the doorway, her silver gown shimmering under the restroom lights. “This is perfect, “she said softly, each word laced with venom,” “I should’ve known all along that this was the reason you’ve been so distracted, Kade.”I swallowed the lump forming in my th

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    Collision

    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—angry at what had transpired between me and Julian. And the next thing I know, I’m here kissing Kade. My body had moved before my mind could stop it.The air between us felt charged with something both dangerous and beautiful at the same time…the kind of feeling you spend your whole life running from, only to find yourself running straight back to it.Kade’s lips found mine again in a kiss that wasn't gentle, like he’d been holding himself back for far too long and I could feel the tension vibrating through his body. His fingers gripped my waist, pushing me too close as if letting go would destroy him.Before I could think my hands moved on their own, gripping his shirt as he breathed agains

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    The Mask Of Love

    Kade’s POVThe ballroom shines under the lights of the golden chandeliers, the sound of clinking glasses and laughter filled the air as cameras flashed from every corner, journalists whispering different things to themselves, socialites draped in wealth and power.Engagement party of the year, they called it—the perfect union between Kade Valen and Selene Blackwell. Two heirs of different dynasties.What a fucking joke.I stood there in a tailored suit with an empty smile plastered on my face as Selene tightened her grip on my arm as though she would vanish if she didn’t hold me. “Smile, darling,” she whispered in my ears, “You look like someone just died.”“Maybe something did.” I shot back, faking a smile for the media that didn’t quite reach my eyes. She giggled — high, sharp enough to get on my nerves and then she leaned in closer, her perfume wrapped around me like smoke. The reporters in front of us cheered for a picture, their camera flashes exploding in quick bursts of whit

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    Cracks In His Canvas

    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’s wrong?”He didn’t say a word, he just turned away from me and ran a hand through his hair, muttering something under his breath I couldn’t catch. I sat up slowly, confusion clawing through me. “Did I… do something?”“Don’t,” he snapped, his voice low but sharp enough to cut through me.My breath caught. “Don’t what?”He turned back to face me, and the look in his eyes wasn't funny at all— a type of look that I had never seen in his eyes. This Julian was different—dark and distant.“You need to go,” he said as he forced himself away from me and started putting on his shirt and trousers again. “What?” The word tumbled out of me in disbelief.“Leave.”For a moment, I thought I misheard him.

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    A NIGHT OF PASSION

    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 eat me up with his eyes. He kissed my pussy, making me moan with a louder pitch this time and I sat up again, filled with a tingling sensation but lay back on the bed.He kissed me again, making my toes curl as I wriggled on the bed. “F….fuck….” The shameless word left my mouth before I could stop it. I couldn’t take it anymore when he began sucking my pussy, it made me lose it as I moaned loudly now. I tried pushing his head away but he was weakened by the pleasure to do so.“You look so tight,” Julian growled as he finally stopped. I tried to close my legs but his hands were there to stop me as he parted them wider. I just lay there watching him as he was about to put his face between my l
