CHAPTER SIXTY ONE: POISON AND RESENTMENT.

Louis's eyes opened to a ceiling he didn't recognize.

The light was wrong. The shadows were wrong. Even the air smelled different…clean, but not the clean of the mansion.

Not the clean of anywhere he had ever woken up before.

He lay still for a moment, his heart pounding, his mind scrambling to remember. The drive…nausea. Adrian's voice on the phone. Chloe in the backseat. Then nothing.

Adrian walked in carrying a glass of water, his footsteps sof

Happy Pride month 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 ********** Louis is poisoned, vulnerable, and alone. Adrian is whispering in his ear while offering comfort. And somewhere in his chest, a tiny seed of doubt about Lorenzo has been planted. Adrian isn’t some good guy. Can we talk about Anya? She figured out Damian was fake. She fought him…and landed hits. She's been searching for Nadia alone. She's dealing with a drunk, desperate Lorenzo. And she's still the smartest person in this story. Protect Anya at all costs, (I love my lesbian)

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   HOLDING THE LINE

    CHAPTER EIGHTY NINE: HOLDING THE LINE Days has rolled into weeks had passed. The hospital room smelled like antiseptic and stale coffee. Louis sat beside Lorenzo's bed, his fingers wrapped around Lorenzo's hand, his eyes fixed on the pale face that hadn't opened its eyes in days. Lorenzo's chest rose and fell with the help of machines. The steady beep of the heart monitor was the only sound that kept Louis sane. The door opened. Anya walked in, her face tight, her tablet tucked under her arm. "Louis." He didn't look up. "Any change?" "Not yet. But that's not why I'm here." Anya sat across from him, her voice low. "Lorenzo being in this state is dangerous. I can feel something stirring between the higher ups. They're testing boundaries." Louis finally looked at her. "What do you mean?" "Lorenzo has extended family overseas. Cousins, uncles, people who have been waiting for a moment like this. They've never had power before…but now they see an opening." Anya paused. "Loren

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   WHO IS GOING TO TAKE THE FALL?

    CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT: WHO IS GOING TO TAKE THE FALL? Lorenzo stepped out of the station, his jaw tight, his eyes scanning the street. The car was there. The guards were there but William wasn't. Louis followed close behind, his phone already in his hand. "Where is he?" Lorenzo's jaw tightened. He walked to the driver's side and motioned for the driver to step out. "I'll drive." He slid behind the wheel, and Louis climbed into the passenger seat. The guards scrambled into the car behind them, ready to follow. Lorenzo pulled out, his hands gripping the wheel. "What is he thinking? We just got him out of the station…only for him to disappear. Where would he even go? How would we find him?" Louis's voice was calm, steady. "Calm down, baby. If he's with his phone, we can get a hang of his location." He pulled out his phone and tapped the screen. "I put trackers on both Chloe and William's phones. After the attack. I wanted to make sure I could find them if anything happened."

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   INTO THE NIGHT

    CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVEN: INTO THE NIGHT William couldn't stay still. The hospital bed felt like a cage. The white walls felt like they were closing in. He had been lying there for hours, staring at the ceiling, replaying the attack, the kiss, the way Matt had pulled away. He was an idiot. He was a fool. But he had to see Matt. He didn't care about the rules. He didn't care about the warnings. He didn't care that Matt had told him never to come to his house. William had already broken every other rule…what was one more? He managed to get out of bed, his body screaming in protest. His arm throbbed. His ribs ached but he didn't stop. He pulled on his clothes, slipped past the nurses, and made his way out of the hospital. The night air hit him like a slap. He hailed a cab, gave Matt's address, and tried not to think about what he was doing. When he reached the house, he found the gate locked. He didn't hesitate. He climbed over it, ignoring the pain that shot through his inju

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   A LINE CROSSED

    CHAPTER EIGHTY SIX: A LINE CROSSED The hospital room was white and sterile, the kind of place that smelled like antiseptic and quiet fear. William lay in the bed, his face bruised, his arm in a sling, a bandage wrapped around his forehead. He looked smaller than usual…fragile in a way that made Louis's chest ache. Louis sat beside him, his hand gently stroking William's hair. "You're going to be fine. The doctors said you're going to be fine.” William tried to smile, but it came out lopsided. "I know. I'm tough." "You're an idiot," Louis said, but there was no heat in it. "What were you thinking? You should have stayed in the car. You should have…” "I was protecting Chloe." William's voice was quiet. "I wasn't going to let anyone hurt her. She got a strong Uncle”, he taps his chest lightly. Louis's throat tightened. He squeezed William's hand. Lorenzo stood by the window, his arms crossed, his jaw tight. His eyes were fixed on William, but his mind was elsewhere..calculat

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   SHADOW AND SILENCE

    CHAPTER EIGHTY TWO: SHADOW AND SILENCE Louis waited for the bullet…his eyes were closed. His face was pressed against Oliver's chest. He could feel the man's heartbeat..fast, erratic, desperate. He could feel the cold metal of the gun against his skull. He could feel Oliver's finger tightening on the trigger. This is it…This is how I die. Lorenzo…Chloe The click. Then….blood. Warm, wet, sudden. It splattered across Louis's face. Oliver's grip went slack. His body crumpled, his weight falling away from Louis's back. Louis's eyes snapped open. Oliver was on the ground, a dark stain spreading across his chest, his hand still reaching weakly toward the gun that had fallen from his grip. Louis didn't think. He kicked the gun away. Men burst through the door…security, police, armed and shouting. They formed a shield around Louis, their bodies blocking him from the chaos. Then Lorenzo was there. His hands were on Louis's face, turning it left and right, checking for wou

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   COMFORT POSITION

    CHAPTER EIGHTY ONE: COMFORT POSITION Lorenzo's phone rang. He answered before the first ring finished…his hand shaking, his voice sharp. "Tell me you found him." "Signor Volterra." The voice on the other end was tight, professional. "We found Anya. She was unconscious in a supply closet at the venue. She's been taken to the hospital. She's stable." Lorenzo's grip on the phone tightened. His knuckles were white. "And Louis?" Silence. Lorenzo's chest caved in. "WHERE IS MY LOUIS?" "The car broke formation. We lost visual near the outskirts. But…" The voice paused. "Your company produces those vehicles. We can track them. We already have the location." Lorenzo was already moving, his legs carrying him before his mind caught up. He grabbed his jacket, his hands trembling as he shoved his arms through the sleeves. "Send it to me. Have a team ready. I'm going myself." "Signor Volterra, we strongly advise…” "I don't care what you advise." Lorenzo's voice cracked. "That's my husba

    CHAPTER FORTY: EXCEPT YOU. Louis dragged himself out of the pool with water dripping down his body and cameras clicking from every angle. Assistants rushed toward him with towels and robes, their hands fussing over his hair and his skin and his makeup. Matt appeared from behind a light reflect

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   BREAK AND THE DARK

    CHAPTER THIRTY TWO: BREAK AND THE DARK The yacht swayed gently beneath him with the Mediterranean sun warm on his skin, and Louis was trying very hard to focus on his book. But the sea was making him drowsy…the rhythm of the waves, the salt in the air, the weight of the past few days catching up

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US.

    CHAPTER TWENTY THREE: THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US. The mansion felt different with Chloe in it…brighter, louder, like someone had turned up the volume on a song Louis didn't realize had been playing too low. She sat in a wheelchair, not because she couldn't walk but because she tired easily, her bod

    CHAPTER SEVEN: THE BLOOD ON THE STREET The private jet sat on the tarmac, engines humming, ready to take him to Zurich. Lorenzo stood at the bottom of the steps, one foot on the first stair, when his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen. The estate. "What." The voice on the other end wa
