Lia’s POV

He stood at the door.

Kade.

His suit jacket was gone this time, his shirt wrinkled and half-unbuttoned, the white fabric stained beside the collar. His hair was messy, as if he had run his hands through it many times.

But it was his eyes… that glued me to a place. Then the smell hit me next: whiskey. It was strong and sharp, clinging to him like a second skin. Kade stood in the frame, his face shadowed, but his rage was unmistakable.

His jaw clenched, hands balled into fists at his sides. Something inside him had snapped. “Get up,” he commanded, his voice low and cruel. This wasn't the calm, controlled Kade I’d known, this was something else…something dangerous.

I didn’t move, rather my legs refused to.

“Lia!” He barked, “Get the fuck up.” The sound echoed off the walls as he stepped inside, closing the door with a slam that made me flinch. “I said, get up.”

I stood up slowly, my palms pressed against the wall to steady myself. My pulse is pounding loudly in my ears. He clos

  • 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 Goodbye and the Promise

    Lia’s POV“Please, Lia. Don’t walk away from me, not again.” Kade’s voice came out quieter than intended the moment his dark eyes held mine as though I would disappear if he looked away for one second.“I have to,” I whispered, “If I stay back, Selene will destroy both of us.” He shook his head, his voice shaking. “I don’t care what she does to me, I can’t take it. But I can’t—” He paused for a while and then swallowed hard, “I can’t lose you again.” Before I could think I reached up and brushed my fingers against his jaw before speaking, “You’re not losing me again, Kade. You’ll have to let me go.” For a heartbeat, neither of us moved, the next thing I knew he grabbed my waist, pulling me into him in an embrace that felt final. His arms wrapped around me like he was holding on to a dream that was already slipping away. When he finally let go, his voice came out as a whisper against my hair, “Then I guess there’s nothing left to fight for.”I felt his lips brush the side of my head

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    Final Goodbyes

    Lia’s POVKade searched my face like he was trying to read the truth I hadn’t said aloud, “What the fuck did you just say?” His voice came out low and dangerous. I swallowed hard, my heart pounding like a drum in my ears as the elevator doors had just closed again.“I said you were right,” I whispered, “About Julian.” Kade’s eyes narrowed as his chest rose and fell heavily. “What about him?” My throat burned with so much I wanted to say, and I forced it out either way, “Julian has been lying to me about everything…”The words tumbled out before I could even breathe. “He…he wasn’t who I thought he was, because all this while Selene had hired him weeks ago. She paid him to seduce me and sleep with me.”Kade’s expression went still as I continued to speak, his jaw clenched tight I could see the veins in his neck. “Selene wanted him to film when fucked me so that she would use it to humiliate me so badly that u would leave the city.”For a moment, Kade didn’t move. Then suddenly, he turn

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    My Feelings for You

    Lia’s POVIt’s been two days since that incident with Julian at the hospital's parking lot but the world felt quieter, and inside me everything was chaos.My phone buzzed on the counter, and I picked it up lazily to see the most shocking thing in my life, the phone nearly slipped from my fingers as I looked at the notification on the screen.Breaking News: Kade Valen and Selene Blackwell to marry in five days.The headline stared at me in bold letters as if it was mocking me. A photo of them at a boutique flashed underneath, Selene dressed in an expensive gown while Kade stood beside her with his hand in his pocket.I couldn’t breathe, and for a second I swore I heard my heart crack. No, it couldn’t be. He wouldn’t—I pressed the phone to my chest as I tried to steady my breathing, but it didn’t help. Every inhale and exhale came out in shallow gasps.Kade and Selene are getting married in just five days. My mind scrambled for reason, some explanation that didn’t feel like betrayal—bu

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    The Perfect Groom

    Kade’s POVI sat in the corner of the boutique, which smelled like roses and money — the kind of place where everything was too good to be true. All I could do was watch Selene spin slowly before the mirror as the fashion designer fussed with the lace on her gown. But all I could think about was how wrong it looked on her, not because she wasn’t beautiful but it wasn’t supposed to be her.“Well? How do I look?”She turned to face me with that smug smile on her face as her voice dragged me back to the present, and I realized I hadn’t said a single word in ten minutes.“It’s… fine,” I muttered.The designer’s face lit up the moment I said that, as if I’d just given a royal decree.“Fine! That's wonderful! We’ll make the final adjustments right away.” Then, he walked away, leaving us surrounded by glittering fabrics and silence.Selene studied me through the mirror with those eyes, calculating even behind the sweetness of her painted smile, “You’re quiet again,” she said softly, stepping

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    The Lies Between Us

    Lia’s POVI didn’t even bother looking back as I stormed away from Julian’s hospital room, my hair was soaked and my hands were shaking. The image of Selene’s smiling face in that picture wouldn’t leave me.It replayed in my head over and over, louder than the rain which was pounding heavily on me. I could still hear her voice echoing from the hallway moments ago when we exchanged words. That smug look on her face when I saw her coming out of Julian's room, for the first time in my life I didn’t know who to believe anymore.I pushed open the hospital doors as I stepped into the parking lot, my heartbeat thudding louder with every step that I took.“Lia!”Then I heard my name as the voice echoed behind me. I turned and saw him — Julian stumbling out of the glass doors in his hospital gown, his hand clutching the side of his bandaged head.“What are you doing?” I shouted over the rain, taking a step back, “Go inside before you make your injuries worse!”He didn’t stop, If anything he k
