Lia’s POV

I 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 name flickered through my mind like a curse and a prayer at once, not to talk of the scent of his cologne that still clung to my bedsheets, dark, possessive.

“God….what have you done, Lia?” I raised

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    THE BREAKING POINT

    Lia’s POVThe moment Julian’s voice cut through the silence—calm, controlled, but sharp enough to freeze my blood—I knew there was no hiding anymore.“I know you’re in here. Come out now.”For a second, I stayed where I was behind the curtains, my body pressed so tightly against the wall it felt like I was trying to disappear into it. My heart was beating so fast I was sure he could hear it. Every thought in my head collided at once, none of them making sense, all of them screaming at me to run even though there was nowhere left to go.Slowly, I stepped out.The curtain slid behind me with a soft rustle that felt louder than it should have. The study suddenly looked different from this angle—smaller, tighter, like the walls had moved closer while I was hiding.Julian stood near the desk, not moving, just watching me.His expression wasn’t loud or dramatic. That was what scared me most. It was controlled. Too controlled. Like he had already decided what the truth was and was waiting fo

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    CAUGHT IN THE ACT

    Lia’s POVI had been discharged from the hospital earlier that morning with strict instructions from the doctor to rest, avoid stress, and keep ice pressed against my bruised cheek. Julian had taken every word seriously, standing beside my bed like he intended to personally enforce the recovery plan. Even after we got home, he barely let me move without asking if I needed something.I tried to play along for a few hours. I stayed in bed, took the medicine, and kept the ice pack against my face while pretending I could relax. But the recording wouldn’t leave my mind.It was somewhere in this house.Somewhere inside Julian’s study.And as long as he had it, I wasn't safe.The moment he left for an emergency meeting, reminding me one last time to rest, I knew I wasn’t staying in that room another minute.The ache in my face flared the second I sat up. The swelling had gone down slightly, but the bruise still pulsed with a deep, stubborn pain that medicine hadn’t fully touched. I pressed

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    A Dangerous Silence.

    Lia’s POVThe footsteps grew louder outside the door, voices murmuring about checking on patients, and my heart pounded so hard I thought it would burst out of my chest while Kade’s fingers were still deep inside me, moving slowly but relentlessly, pushing me closer to the edge even as terror flooded my veins. I stared up at him with wide, panicked eyes, silently begging him to stop, but he only smirked darkly, his thumb pressing firmer circles on my clit as he leaned down and whispered hotly against my ear.“Stay quiet, baby, or they’ll hear how wet you are for me,” he murmured, his breath sending shivers down my spine while his fingers curled inside me again, hitting that spot that made my legs tremble uncontrollably.I bit down hard on my lip, trying desperately to hold back any sound as the door handle started to turn. At the very last second, Kade pulled his hand away, quickly sliding under the hospital bed and disappearing into the shadows just as the door opened and a young nu

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    HUSHED DESIRE

    Lia’s POVKade stood right there, hovering over my hospital bed, his dark eyes locked on mine as he said those words that sent my heart racing even faster.“I’m not going anywhere,” and the way he said it, low and final, made my whole body tremble under the thin hospital sheet. My cheek was still throbbing badly from the punch, the swelling making my eye feel heavy and sore, but all I could focus on was him, the way he looked at me like I still belonged to him completely, even now, even in this mess.He reached out slowly and gently brushed his fingers across my bruised cheek, his touch surprisingly soft, but I could see the fury burning in his eyes, the way his jaw clenched as he took in the damage. “Who did this to you?” he whispered roughly, his voice thick with anger. “Was it Julian? Tell me the truth, Lia.”I shook my head quickly, tears slipping down my face again as the pain and guilt crashed over me all at once. “It was an accident, Kade, Noah swung at Julian and I got in 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
