Chapter Seventy One: A Long Way Ahead

"Careful there, Louis."

Lorenzo's hands were gentle as he guided Louis onto the bed, his touch careful, almost reverent.

Louis let himself be settled against the pillows, his body still weak, his mind still foggy, but his voice sharp as ever.

"I can do that myself," he said, though his body betrayed him by sinking into the softness of the mattress. "I'm not an invalid."

Lorenzo stepped back, a small smile playing at his lips.

He looked up at the ceil

Okay so... I have a confession. I literally wrote the ASMR scene from my own experience. I'm neurodivergent and I use ASMR to sleep almost every night. So Lorenzo trying to help Louis sleep with whispering and tapping? That was personal 😭 (Also Louis is anti-AI and honestly? Real.) Lorenzo has come a long way and still got a long way to go. The hardest part is still ahead…earning Louis's trust and love again, not because Louis is trapped, but because he chooses to stay. Don’t get too comfortable . Next chapter, Louis might be stepping back into the public eye. Rushing back to work. And we all know how the media feels about him right now. 👀 Drop a comment…do you think Louis is actually ready to face the world again, or is he just running from Lorenzo? 🖤

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   THE VOW

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE: THE VOW The greenhouse was quiet, the only sound the soft rustle of leaves in the evening breeze. The fairy lights cast a warm, golden glow over Lorenzo’s face, highlighting the dark circles under his eyes. He looked exhausted. He looked human. Louis stood his ground, his arms still crossed. "Five minutes. Start talking." Lorenzo took a slow breath, gathering his thoughts. He didn't try to close the distance between them. "I was wrong," Lorenzo said, his voice stripped of its usual commanding tone. "Not about how I feel about my mother. But about how I handled it. I shouldn't have lied to you." "You made me look like an idiot in front of William," Louis said, his voice sharp. "You let me sit there and talk about how nice it would be to have a mother-in-law, knowing full well you'd seen her." "I know and I am sorry. I would never do that again." Lorenzo’s jaw tightened. "But Louis, you have to understand…when I saw her, it was like being a child ag

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   THE SECOND CHANCE

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR: THE SECOND CHANCE By midnight, the penthouse was suffocatingly quiet. Louis was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the wall. His posture was rigid, his jaw set in a hard line. He wasn't crying but was just waiting. The door opened. Footsteps across the floor. The rustle of a jacket, a watch hitting the nightstand. "You're still awake," Lorenzo said. "Couldn't sleep." Louis didn't look at him. "You're late today again, Lorenzo” "Meetings ran long." The bed dipped as Lorenzo climbed in beside him. He smelled like cold air and expensive cologne. His hand found Louis's hip, sliding under his shirt, drawing him closer. His lips brushed the sensitive skin of Louis's neck. "I'm pausing all travels till after the wedding," Lorenzo murmured. "No more trips. Just you and me. I miss you so much baby” Louis didn't lean into the touch. He sat perfectly still, a statue of coiled tension. "Lorenzo." "Hmm?" The kisses trailed lower. "I was wondering

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   THE PERFECT FIT

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THREE: THE PERFECT FIT The glass doors slid open, curtains parting like water as Lorenzo guided Louis into the bedroom. The penthouse was quiet, warm, lit soft gold from the lamps Lorenzo had left on. "How did it go, love?" Lorenzo's hand found the small of Louis's back, steadying him as they walked. "You must be so tired." Louis was already pulling away, shedding his coat, his energy a restless buzz. "You would not believe the way they treated my staff. The makeup artists… Lorenzo, they had them working fifteen-hour days with no breaks. Fifteen. And the lighting crew?” “They were drinking energy drinks like water because production refused to hire a second shift. I had to step in myself, I told them if they didn't fix it I was walking, and then…" "Oh really?" Lorenzo followed him, unbothered by the rant. "…and then the director had the nerve to say I was being difficult. Me. Difficult. Because I wanted my people to not collapse on set…" "Yeah?"

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   THE WOMAN IN THE ROOM

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWO: THE WOMAN IN THE ROOM The phone rang three times before someone picked up. "Volterra residence." Louis tucked the phone between his shoulder and ear, toeing off his shoes by the door. "Hey, it's Louis. Is Aunt Gia around?" The housekeeper hesitated. It was a small thing…a beat of silence that lasted a second too long….but Louis caught it. "Signora Gia is not available at the moment." "Not available?" Louis frowned, padding into the kitchen. "It's eight in the morning there. She's always up by six." "She took a trip, Signore. An emergency trip." "A trip?" He stopped at the counter, fingers drumming against the marble. "Where?" "America." "America." He repeated it slowly, like the word might rearrange itself into something that made sense. "Aunt Gia flew to America." "Yes, signore. She left last night." Louis pulled the phone away from his ear, stared at it, then put it back. "She's in her eighties. Isn't she a little old to be flying across t

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   SHE’S ALIVE

    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND ONE: SHE’S ALIVE Louis pushed open the door to the penthouse, his body aching from a long day on set. His feet were sore, his shoulders tight, and all he wanted was a hot shower and a quiet night with Lorenzo. Then the smell hit him. Rich…warm and delicious. He stopped at the dining room , his eyes landing on the dining table. It was set for two…candles, champagne, plates arranged with care. The food was already on the table, steam rising from the dishes. Lorenzo looked up from the kitchen, a smile spreading across his face. "Finally, you're here." Louis blinked. "You cooked?" "I did." Lorenzo crossed to him, his hands finding Louis's waist. "I made all of this. For you." Louis's eyes swept over the table. "This is... a lot." "You deserve a lot." Louis laughed softly, leaning into the touch. "I would get a shower first. I smell like set." "I'll survive." Lorenzo kissed his forehead. "Go. I'll wait." Louis showered quickly, the hot water loosening the

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   FACE THAT FEAR ?

    CHAPTER HUNDRED: FACE THAT FEAR? The applause was deafening. Lorenzo stood at the podium, the lights hot on his face, the crowd on their feet. The new car…the most advanced model the company had ever produced…was displayed behind him, sleek and silver, catching every flash of the cameras. He didn't care about any of it. His eyes found Louis in the front row. Louis was smiling, clapping, his eyes bright with pride. The bandage on his arm was barely visible beneath his sleeve. Lorenzo didn't wait for the applause to die down. He stepped off the podium and moved through the crowd, his strides long and purposeful. People tried to stop him…handshakes, congratulations, questions…but he ignored them all. He reached Louis. "You did well," Louis said, his voice warm. Lorenzo didn't answer. He pulled Louis into his arms and kissed him…deep, hungry, full of everything he had been holding back. Louis laughed against his lips. "Lorenzo…people are watching…" "I don't care." Lorenzo ki

    CHAPTER FOUR: THE CORNER TIGHTENS Louis walked into St. Jude's with a heavy heart and a lighter wallet. The candy in his hand…cheap lollipops, the kind Chloe pretended to hate…felt pathetic, but it was all he could afford now. All he could afford ever now, apparently. Three jobs gone in one we

    CHAPTER THREE: THE ART OF REFUSAL Louis's eyes fluttered open to white ceiling, beeping machines, and that smell. The hospital smell that hits him right in the gut and says "somebody's about to get a bill they can't afford." Then a face was hovering right above him. "GAH!" Louis jolted so hard t

    CHAPTER TWO: THE CONTRACT AT THE DOORSTEP Louis’s eyes snapped open to the same cracked ceiling and for one blissful second, his mind was quiet. Then yesterday crashed back in like a wave of cold water…the weirdo at the door, the bodyguards, those crazy words. ‘My husband.’, “who the hell says

    CHAPTER ONE: INTEREST ON MY LIFE “Uncle Vinnie ain’t a charity, Louis. The vig don’t sleep. You’re two weeks light.” The voice was a low growl in the dark, right against his ear. Marco’s forearm pressed into Louis’s throat, pinning him to the damp brick wall of the alley behind his apartment.
