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

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   THE CUT THAT ALWAYS BLEEDS

    CHAPTER SIXTY THREE: THE CUT THAT ALWAYS BLEEDS Lorenzo stepped out of the car, his jaw tight, his eyes hollow, running on less than two hours of sleep. His body was moving, but he wasn't really there. He hadn't been there for weeks. He had been forced to get back to work. Meetings. Handshakes. Decisions he didn't care about. His mind was elsewhere. It had been elsewhere since the day Louis drove through those gates. He thought about the bottle waiting for him at home. The one he would drown himself in when this was over. "You've gone through the proposal…" Anya said, walking beside him. Lorenzo didn't answer. He didn't hear her. They walked into the building…Lorenzo, his bodyguards, Anya trailing behind. The lobby was cold, marble floors, voices echoing off the walls. Then he stopped. Adrian was standing there, leaning against a pillar, smiling like he had been waiting all day. "Lorenzo," Adrian said, stepping forward. "I didn't know you were invited to this." Lorenzo'

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   SEARCH AND RESCUE.

    CHAPTER SIXTY TWO: SEARCH AND RESCUE. Lorenzo sat in his study, staring at nothing. His head pounded. His eyes were dry like the ground on a hot summer day. His chest felt hollow and tight, like something had been carved out of him and never put back.It had been days since he had seen Louis. Days since he had heard his voice. Days since he watched him drive through the gates and disappear because of his own stupid mistake.Is this what dying feels like? he wondered.He didn't care about work. Anya would handle it. She always did when he was like this.He pulled open a drawer to reach for a bottle…anything to make the noise in his head stop…when he heard a commotion in the hallway."Get your hands off me! I have to see Lorenzo! I swear you will get fired!"He knew that voice.The door burst open.Sofia stood there in a tight red dress and sharp heels, her eyes blazing, her chest heaving. She looked like she had fought her way through every guard in the house.She spotted Lorenzo

    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 soft on the wooden floor. "You've been sleeping for two days," he said, setting the glass on the nightstand. "How do you feel? Are you even well?" Louis pushed himself up slowly, his body heavy, his head throbbing. "I'm fine. Where's Chloe?" Adrian sat on the edge of the bed, close enough that Louis could smell his cologne…something expensive, something subtle. "She's in the other room. She's been checking on you constantly since yesterday. She was worried. We both were." Louis swung his leg

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   BREAKING POINT

    CHAPTER SIXTY: BREAKING POINT Still groggy and tired, Lorenzo made his way into the mansion. His head pounded like an heartbeat and his mouth was dry. He didn't remember much about what happened last night…just flashes, just blurred edges, just the sick feeling that he had fallen into Sofia's trap. He cursed under his breath. The anger of that, mixed with the possibility of Louis cheating, was sending him into hell, making his heart tighter than anything that had happened so far. He found Louis in the room, reading, curled up on the chaise like nothing was wrong, like the world wasn't burning. Louis looked up. "How are you doing? I was surprised you didn't come home last night." Lorenzo's jaw tightened. "It's nothing." Why does he care? he thought. If I did sleep with Sofia last night, isn't that justified? He was the one cheating with some director. Louis stood and stepped closer. "Are you alright?" His hand reached out…then stopped. His eyes fixed on Lorenzo's shirt. A lips

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

    CHAPTER FIFTY NINE: THE TRAP "You don't get to treat me like that!" The set was buzzing with activity…lights shifting, cameras adjusting, crew members whispering into headsets. Louis stood in front of the green screen delivering his lines, his voice steady, his movements precise. He was getting better. He could feel it. Adrian watched from the shadows, his eyes never leaving Louis's face. Not for a second. Damian appeared beside him, adjusting his glasses, his voice soft and shy. "Signor Louis is improving so much. His acting is becoming... believable." Adrian didn't look away from Louis. "He is talented." "Very talented." Damian paused. "You seem to be a fan of my boss." Adrian's lips curved. "I want to be more. But he is closed off." Damian leaned in slightly, lowering his voice. "That is because of how jealous his husband can be. It is... scary." Adrian's eyes flickered toward him. "Louis actually talks about you," Damian continued, rambling now. "He said he would have

  • Contracted: The Billionaire’s Husband From The Commercial   PLAY A CHARACTER

    CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT: PLAY A CHARACTER The door opened and Sofia's heels clicked against the marble floor like a countdown, her red dress matching her killer lipstick. Damian sat in a chair already waiting, his glasses catching the low light. Sofia didn't bother with greetings. "I hope everything is going as planned," she said immediately. Damian nodded. "The swapped medications have started. He takes them every night." "Make sure there are no skips." "There will not be." Damian adjusted his glasses. "Louis cannot sleep without his pills. He is dependent on them now. Quite fragile." Sofia smiled…cold, satisfied. "The drugs are high class. Almost undetectable. Even in an autopsy." She poured herself a drink, swirling the liquid before taking a slow sip. "Anything else? I need something to create a misunderstanding between Louis and Lorenzo." Damian leaned back. "There is someone we could use. A director. He owns a film company and a school. Adrian Cross. He has taken a keen in
