Ethan’s POV

Adrian left for Italy saying he has some work for a week. Seven days. Though my heart was at unease I consolidated myself that he will be fine and return soon. But even after one hundred and sixty-eight hours being completed… he did not give a single reply.

Not a “I’m busy.” Not a “I’ll call later.” Not even a cold, one-word response.

Nothing.

At first, I told myself he was occupied.

As Adrian was never the kind of man who lived a slow life—his world ran on deadlines, decisions, and

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 84: Maybe I Ruin Everything

    Ethan’s POV:Sleep never came peacefully anymore.Not after the blood, the screams, seeing Adrian standing there bleeding because of me.The safehouse room was dark and silent except for the rain softly hitting the windows outside. I lay curled beneath the blanket staring blankly into nothing while exhaustion dragged heavily against my body.But every time I closed my eyes—I saw it again.The blade.The blood.Adrian throwing himself in front of me.My chest tightened painfully. I turned onto my side quickly trying to breathe normally.It’s over.You’re safe.He’s safe.But my mind wouldn’t listen. Because deep down something ugly had already started whispering inside me."People get hurt around you."I squeezed my eyes shut hard.No.But the memories came anyway.Mom screaming my name.Dad holding me behind him.Men shouting and glass breaking.Blood.Always blood.A shaky breath escaped me.The debt collectors came when I was fourteen. My parents borrowed money trying to keep our li

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 84: Smoke and Blood

    Seraphina’s POV:The warehouse smelled like blood, rust, and burnt wires.Cold rain hammered against the metal roof overhead while dim yellow lights flickered across the underground room. The man tied to the chair in front of us was barely conscious now.Good.Nick leaned against the steel table nearby cleaning blood from his knuckles while two guards stood near the entrance silently. The masked attacker coughed weakly, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth onto the concrete floor.Still refusing to talk.I exhaled smoke slowly from between my lips while watching him struggle to breathe.Pathetic.“You people really have impressive loyalty,” I muttered calmly.The assassin spat blood near my boots.“Go to hell.”I tilted my head slightly.Then smiled.“You first.”I stepped forward and grabbed his jaw hard enough to force his head upward. His face was swollen beyond recognition now from hours of interrogation.Yet still—No answers.My irritation grew.“Who hired you?”Silence.

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 83: The Things We Almost Said

    Adrian’s POV:The room went silent after Ethan’s words.“The man downstairs called you boss.”For one dangerous second, nobody moved. I watched the thoughts forming behind Ethan’s exhausted eyes. Confusion. Suspicion. Fear. He was trying to connect pieces that were never supposed to fit together.Before I could speak, Nick stepped forward smoothly. “That was me.”Ethan blinked slowly and looked toward him. Nick kept his expression calm. Controlled. “I manage part of Adrian’s Budapest office operations when he’s away. Old habit.” He shrugged lightly. “I call him boss sometimes.”The tension in Ethan’s face loosened slightly, though not completely. “And Seraphina?” he asked weakly.Seraphina crossed her arms calmly. “I work under him too.”Technically true. Just not in the way Ethan thought.Nick gave me a subtle glance telling me he’d handle the rest. Good. Because right now my mind was too exhausted to keep building lies without slipping.“We’ll step outside,” Nick said finally.Se

    Adrian's POVEthan fainted in my arms as his body turned cold, and panic erupted inside me. I quickly picked him in my arms, and rushed outside to my car. The car was damaged and it infuriated to me. Those bastards should not be spared. I want them death but before that they will beg for mercy.Taking my phone out and walking out to the road, I finally found network on my phone. Quickly booked a cab and waited impatiently on the streets as I try to call Ethan."Open your eyes Ethan..", I grunt.Frustration bubbling inside me while my patience going thin. Just as I was trying to go by walking to the hospital the cab arrived.The driver was first hesitant by seeing me. As my shirt was soaked in blood and my wound with the pressure arising on it due to holding Ethan was oozing blood. I share the OTP and ask him to rush me to the hospital."Ok."He said after a pause. And the wheels started rolling soon.The 10 minutes ride to the nearby hospital was feeling like an eternity which passed

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 81: The Sound of Losing You

    Ethan’s POVSitting upstairs alone while Adrian disappeared downstairs felt like torture.Every second stretched too long. Every sound made my heart stop.I paced restlessly inside the bedroom, my hands trembling as another loud crash echoed through the villa. Something shattered downstairs followed by heavy footsteps and a grunt of pain that made my stomach twist violently.Adrian.My breathing grew uneven instantly.I tried convincing myself he could handle it. Adrian was always composed. Always terrifyingly calm under pressure. But somehow that made everything worse because I had seen the look in his eyes before he left.Alert. Dangerous. Prepared for violence. And now violence was happening downstairs while I sat here completely useless. Another loud thud shook the floor beneath my feet.I flinched hard.“Oh God…”I dragged both hands through my hair and started pacing again. Sit. Stand. Walk. Stop. Repeat.My mind wouldn’t slow down.What if he gets hurt? What if there’s a gun? W

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 80: Attacked by the Assassinate

    Adrian’s POVThe moment I heard the crash downstairs, every instinct inside me sharpened. Wrong. Someone was inside the villa.I moved instantly.No hesitation. No emotion. Only calculation.By the time I reached the lower floor, the first attacker was already waiting near the entrance dressed completely in black. His stance alone told me enough.Professional.Not some desperate thief. His blade flashed toward my throat without warning.I caught his wrist mid-strike and twisted hard enough to hear the joint crack before driving him straight into the wall. Another one appeared from my blind side immediately.Too coordinated.My eyes narrowed. They knew what they were doing. Which meant this wasn’t random.A second blade sliced toward my ribs. I stepped back barely in time, feeling fabric tear beneath the edge of the sword. Pain burned across my side, sharp and immediate, but I ignored it.“Where’s the file?” one of them demanded coldly.There it is. The mining project.Of course."Sera
