CHAPTER TWENTY TWO: IN THE UNDERGROUND

Louis opened his eyes to white ceiling and beeping machines.

The hospital smell hit him before anything else…antiseptic and clean and cold. He blinked, trying to remember. Water. Dark water.

Anya's hand gripping his collar, pulling him up, up, up toward light.

A helicopter somewhere above them, the blades beating like a second heart.

"Lorenzo," he whispered. The name came out before he could stop it. The first word his mouth made. Because Loren

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   Trust That Terrifies

    Content Warning: This chapter contains homophobic language and slurs. Reader discretion is advised.Chapter Ninety Six: Trust That Terrifies The bar was empty…dimly lit, smelling of stale beer and old secrets. The kind of place that didn't ask questions and didn't remember faces. Louis had chosen it for exactly that reason.Theo was already there, sprawled across a table like he owned it, his legs dangling off the edge, that infuriating smile plastered on his face. He looked like a golden retriever who had just been told he was a good boy. It was almost disarming.Almost.Louis stood a few feet away, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. His mind was already working…cataloging exits, noting the distance between them, calculating how fast he could reach the door if this went wrong.‘He's Giuseppe's right hand. He's dangerous. He's unpredictable. Don't forget that.’"I didn't think you were going to come," Theo said, tilting his head. His voice was light, almost playful. "

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   WARM SHEETS

    Chapter Ninety Five: Warm Sheets Louis stood by the window, his arms crossed, his reflection staring back at him in the dark glass. Lorenzo was in the chair behind him, his walking stick resting against the armrest, his eyes fixed on Louis's back. "He offered to help," Louis said quietly. "Theo. He said he could be useful. He said he's tired of being a tool." Lorenzo's voice was flat. "Don't you even think about it…baby” Louis turned to face him. "I'm not saying I trust him. I'm saying there might be something we can use." "Use?" Lorenzo's eyes narrowed. "You want to use a man who kills people for Giuseppe? A man who you mentioned calls him father?" Louis took a step closer. "He called Giuseppe father. But he also said he's just a tool to him. That kind of relationship can sour. It can crack. And if it does…” "It won't." Lorenzo's voice was sharp. "You don't understand. I know men like Theo. I've been around them my whole life. They don't turn…. don't betray. They follow until

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   WITHOUT ME

    Chapter Ninety Four: Without Me The room was tall and luxurious, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city like a kingdom Lorenzo had built but couldn't yet walk through. A treadmill sat in the center, and Lorenzo moved on it slowly, his steps measured, his jaw tight with concentration. His feet had been getting better…he could feel the strength returning, the muscles remembering what they were meant to do. But he trained in secret, only when Louis was there to watch, only when the world wasn't watching him struggle. Louis sat on the edge of the bed, glasses perched on his nose. The screen exposure these days had caught up with him…late nights reading reports, scrolling through intelligence, piecing together Giuseppe's moves. He looked older, more tired, but there was a softness in his eyes when he watched Lorenzo move. "You should at least have your trainer here," Louis said, his voice light. "Someone professional. Someone who knows what they're doing." Lorenzo shook

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   The Price of Loyalty.

    Chapter Ninety Three: The Price of Loyalty Louis woke up tied to a wooden chair, his head pounding from whatever they had injected him with. The room was dim, lit by a single lamp that cast long shadows across the walls. Across from him sat Giuseppe, calm and composed, a glass of wine in his hand like he was hosting a dinner party. Behind Louis, a man whistled softly….a cheerful, almost jaunty tune that felt entirely out of place. Giuseppe sighed. "Theo, would you please stop hovering?" Theo…the head guard….grinned, stepping into Louis's line of sight. He was tall and broad-shouldered, with a face that looked like it had been carved from stone. But his eyes sparkled with mischief, and his grin was infectious. "Sorry, boss," Theo said, twirling a knife between his fingers. "I just want to see how this plays out. He's got a reputation, this one. The model who stood up to the board. The husband who told you to go to hell. I'm a fan." Giuseppe's jaw tightened. "Theo." "Righ

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   I’m Just Selfish

    Chapter Ninety Three: I’m Just Selfish The safe house was modest compared to the Volterra estates….plain walls, simple furniture, the kind of place that was meant to be invisible. Giuseppe sat across from Isabella, a glass of wine in his hand, studying her like she was a puzzle he was trying to solve. "Are you faring well?" Giuseppe asked, his voice soft. Isabella was quiet for a moment. She stared at her hands, her fingers thin and pale. "I don't know. Sometimes I don't remember where I am. Sometimes I think I'm still in that room." She looked up, her eyes hollow. "He kept me there for so long. I forgot what the sky looked like." Giuseppe's expression softened. He leaned forward, his voice gentle. "I've missed you so much, sister. You have no idea. What could I have done without you?or your love?” Isabella's lips curved. "You would have survived. You always have." He smiled. "I suppose." Then his tone shifted. The warmth faded. His eyes grew sharp, calculating. "But do

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   Not Blood

    Chapter Ninety One: Not Blood The entrance was hidden behind a false wall in a laundromat that had definitely been a front for something since the 1980s. Matt pulled open the dryers, revealing a narrow staircase that descended into dim light. The air smelled like damp concrete and secrets. William followed close behind, his heart pounding. "This is where you get your information?" Matt glanced back at him, a smirk playing on his lips. "This is where I get everything. Information. Contacts. The kind of people who don't exist on paper." "Right." William swallowed. "And you brought me because…" "Because you're the only person I trust." Matt's voice was quiet, sincere. "And because I wanted to show you who I really am." William's chest tightened. He followed Matt down the stairs. The underground was a labyrinth of narrow hallways, flickering lights, and doors that led to rooms William didn't want to know about. Men in dark suits stood against the walls, their eyes scanning ever

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   THE CORNER TIGHTENS

    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

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   THE ART OF REFUSAL

    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

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   THE CONTRACT AT THE DOORSTEP

    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

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   INTEREST ON MY LIFE

    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.
