Kade’s POV

I 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

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    NO WAY OUT

    Lia’s POVThe moment the study door closed behind Kade, the air in the room changed. Julian didn’t speak immediately. He didn’t need to. I could feel it already—his attention had fully turned back to me.I stayed where I was near the desk, my fingers still slightly curled from how tense I’d been moments earlier, trying to steady my breathing. I told myself to stay calm, to act normal, but that thought didn’t last long.Julian moved.One second he was across the room, the next he was right in front of me, and before I could even step back, his hand had already closed around my wrist.He turned me sharply and pushed me back against the wall.The impact knocked the air out of my lungs.“Julian—” I started, but my voice broke as his grip tightened and both my wrists were pinned above my head.He didn’t look angry at first. That was the worst part. His expression was too calm, too controlled, like whatever he was feeling had already been decided and contained.But his grip told a different

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    AN INVITATION TO WAR

    Kade’s POVI didn’t rush when I arrived at Julian’s house.There was no reason to.People like Julian always expected urgency, as if the world were supposed to bend to their command. I had learned a long time ago that the best way to deal with men like him was to never mirror their energy. If he wanted tension, I gave him calm. If he wanted control, I gave him distance.Still, I couldn’t ignore the feeling that something was off the moment I stepped inside.The house was exactly how I remembered it—clean, expensive, and carefully maintained in a way that made everything feel almost staged. But tonight, it didn’t feel peaceful. It felt tight. Like the silence had weight in it. as something had already happened before I got there, and whatever remained was just the aftermath settling into place.The housekeeper didn’t say much when she led me down the corridor. She only opened the study door and stepped aside.That was when I saw him.Julian stood near his desk like he owned the entire

  • 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

    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
