Kade’s POV

The city lights blurred past me in flashes, but all I saw was rage. The image of Lia tied to that chair, Noah’s gun pressed to her head. Selene’s fucking laughter burned its memory into my skull.

Every bone in me vibrated with the need to kill. Rip that bitch apart limb by limb. Gut Noah and hang him with his own balls. I regretted sparing that bastard’s life every second, I should have put a bullet in him the moment he stole from me.

“Two minutes,”

I murmured under my breath, “Two

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    ONE HOUR

    Lia’s POVDamien hadn’t even reached the door when Kade’s voice sliced through the room.“Who did it?”The question carried a dangerous edge, sharp and controlled, tightening the air around us. Damien paused mid-step and turned slowly, his shoulders tense. He didn’t speak right away, as the weight of the truth seemed to press down on him.“Julian.”The instant the name left his mouth, everything inside Kade went completely still, that familiar shift settling over him—the one I’d seen before everything turned to chaos. His eyes hardened, calculating.“What?” Kade said quietly.“They hit the safe house with precision. I don’t know how he knew the routes, the guard changes, and the timing. And it wasn’t just an attack.” He paused, his jaw clenched tight. “This is war.”Kade exhaled slowly through his nose, the sound barely audible. When he spoke again, his voice had dropped lower, colder. “Gather all my men. Tell them Julian doesn’t leave this alive.”Damien hesitated for half a second

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    THE GOOD NEWS

    Lia’s POVI didn't know how long I stood there after Kade told me Noah betrayed him. The apartment had grown quieter after Damien left to deal with the men outside. Broken pieces of wood still littered the floor near the entrance, a reminder of Julian's visit, but for the first time since I'd arrived there, I didn't feel like someone was about to kick the door down.Kade was standing near the window, speaking into his phone. His voice was low and controlled as he gave instructions to someone on the other end of the line.I watched him without meaning to.The last few days had changed him.Or maybe they had stripped away the parts he usually kept hidden.There was exhaustion written all over Kade's face. It showed in the dark circles beneath his eyes, in the tension locked into his shoulders, and in the way he rubbed the back of his neck after ending the call. It was the kind of tiredness that no amount of sleep could fix.When he finally turned around, he caught me staring. For a mom

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    A BITTER END

    Selene’s POVThe words hung in the air like a loaded gun. I watched Kade’s face closely, savoring the way his composure finally cracked—just a fraction, but it was enough. Shock flickered in those cold eyes, followed quickly by something darker.I let out a weak, pained laugh, pressing my hand tighter against my bleeding shoulder. The wound burned like fire, but the rush of power was stronger. Slowly, painfully, I reached under the sofa cushion with my good hand and pulled out the slim, leather-bound book I’d kept hidden there for months. I held it up, my fingers smearing blood across the embossed cover. “Noah gave this to me,” I taunted, my voice hoarse but triumphant. “He handed it over without a fight when I had him kidnapped and begged me to spare his life. Said he’d do anything. Pathetic, really. All that loyalty to you, and in the end, he chose to save his own skin.”Kade’s jaw clenched so hard I thought it might shatter. His gun hand wavered for the briefest second, his gaze

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    AN INTENSE FACE-OFF

    Selene’s POVThe city lights sprawled endlessly beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse, glittering like scattered diamonds against the dark water below. From up here, everything looked small—the people, the cars, the endless noise, all the petty problems that consumed everyone else.For the first time in years, a deep sense of calm settled over me. The engagement was over. Lia was gone. Kade’s perfectly controlled world was finally cracking apart at the seams. Finally, I thought, a quiet laugh bubbling up inside me. After all these years, it’s happening.For the first time in what felt like forever, a deep sense of calm settled over me. Kade didn’t die as I wanted but his poor little Lia was fighting for her life in the hospital. And Kade’s perfectly controlled world? It was finally cracking apart at the seams, piece by piece, just as I’d planned.I took a slow sip, letting the rich flavor linger on my tongue.If things keep going my way—and they will—he’ll finally see i

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    THE AFTERMATH

    Lia’s POVThe apartment fell strangely quiet after Julian left alone, the echo of his footsteps long since faded down the hallway, leaving only the broken front door hanging crooked on its frame and cool air drifting in through the splintered wood scattered across the floor.Just seconds earlier the room had pulsed with armed men and suffocating tension. Still, now silence pressed in, broken only by the heavy hammer of my own heartbeat as I stood there, fingers still clutching the back of Kade’s jacket like it was the only solid thing left in the world. Slowly I let go, and the moment my hand dropped a strange distance seemed to open up between us. For the first time since the engagement, for the first time since I had thrown myself in front of a bullet meant for him, we stood face-to-face. Kade’s gaze moved over me carefully, lingering on the fresh bruises circling my wrist until his jaw tightened, the muscle flexing once, then twice before his eyes returned to my face.“You okay?”

  • A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire    THE FACE-OFF

    Lia’s POVThe lock clicked into place for what felt like the tenth time. I stood in the middle of my apartment, staring at the front door as if sheer willpower could make it stronger. The deadbolt was locked. Every window was closed, every curtain drawn. Still, it wasn’t enough.My hands wouldn’t stop shaking. I wrapped both arms around myself and forced a deep breath. The apartment was silent except for the ragged sound of my own breathing and the faint hum of the refrigerator in the kitchen.I grabbed my phone again and called Kade. It rang. And rang. Then voicemail. Again.A frustrated sound tore from my throat. “Pick up…”I hit the call once more, straight to voicemail. I pressed the phone against my forehead, eyes burning.The last few hours had been a nightmare that refused to end—the pregnancy, Julian finding out, me telling him the baby wasn’t his, and the pure rage on his face. A loud bang suddenly echoed through the apartment. I jumped so hard the phone nearly slipped from

    Lia’s POV“….Lia.”Kade’s voice cut through the room like a blade, the sound of my name on his lips pulling the air straight out of my chest.I snapped to the bed to see his eyes…those dark, merciless eyes on me. They were open, weak but staring straight at me.“Kade,” I whispered, rushing towards

I couldn’t do it… No matter how much I told myself I hated Kade

My brother. My
