Elena's POV

"Elena, I can't believe how beautiful you've become," Jake said, his eyes filled with unfiltered amazement and greed.

Caroline shot me a look that dripped with jealousy.

I glanced down at the black dress hugging my body. Her jealousy gave me a brief sense of superiority, but Jake's hungry stare made my skin crawl.

Just yesterday, he humiliated me in public, said I was nothing but a means to finish his design. I used to think he didn't have feelings for me and was just using me for convenience - maybe he truly liked Caroline. After all, he kissed her right in front of his friends.

But now, one expensive dress was all it took to get his desire back on me like a bee flitting between flowers. Was that all his love was worth?

And Caroline, someone I used to consider a friend in my short time in college, couldn't even fake a smile anymore just because of this dress.

Everything - the dates with Jake, lunch breaks with Caroline, the laughter I once thought was genuine - suddenly f

    Elena's POVNoah's grip on me was like steel, unyielding and burning hot where his fingers dug into my skin. His blue eyes were darker than I had ever seen them, fury simmering in their depths as if every breath I took insulted him."You even thought about running, huh?" he muttered, his voice low and lethal, which made my pulse stutter."Put me down!" I shout again in panic, especially when I feel the uneven movements as he takes the stairs.He didn't reply, and my heart went frantic as he entered a room, doors slamming behind us."Is this his room?"I tried to twist away, and he finally let me go. But my relief didn't last long when I realized what the soft object he had thrown me onto – on the bed! A bed???My mind went into turmoil, and my heart's about to explode.Before I could jump up and run away, his body pinned me to the bed. His closeness was suffocating, every inch of him radiating heat and power.My eyes widened.His hands began to roam my body with sudden, rough authori

    Noah's POV"Don, Marco wants to see you. Something about Jake," Caleb told me as I slid the signed contract across the table.Perfect timing. I didn't even get a chance to breathe before the next fire needed putting out.It had been three hours since I'd left the estate. I wasn't sure how my little pet was doing in her new cage, but I was sure Jake and my ever-annoying sister had gone crying to my father.Thirty minutes later, I walked into my father's villa, only to be told Jake and Monica had already left. Figures. That little jerk wouldn't dare face me after the chaos in the shopping mall today."Sit," my father ordered. His voice was sharp but calm—the kind of calm that warned you not to push it.His office always smelled of polished oak and old cigars—two things I'd never liked.I stayed standing. "I'm not changing my mind. Jake deserved it."Marco leaned back, folding his hands over his stomach. "You punished a family member over a girl? Don't tell me you've fallen for your neph

    Elena's POVThe clang of the dog food can and the maid's Italian still rang in my ears."I'm not a dog, even if I was sold to him." Pet or not, I was still human.But the more I repeated it, the hollower it sounded.I pushed the can aside and sat on the floor, knees drawn tight to my chest. The air in this so-called room was damp enough to glue my hair to my skin.The maid grabbed a fistful of my gold-brown hair, yanking my head back."What? Still daydreaming about being Mr. Marlowe's escort?" she sneered, opening another can with a sharp crack before tossing it at me. "You're nothing but a cheap pet, worth less than his dog."I bit my lips to hold back my tears. Above me, footsteps sounded, measured, deliberate, and far too heavy to belong to the younger maids.Is it Noah?I dared to hope.The door swung open.In waddled the head maid, Fidelia, the middle-aged woman with a pinched face and a body thickened by years of idleness.My chest sank. Whatever flicker of anticipation I'd felt

    Elena's POVThe car stops right at the doorway of the mansion that looked like it belonged in one of those glossy magazines my mother used to flip through when life was still good. White stone walls, columns wrapped in ivy, and a circular driveway with golf-course quality grass in the middle.I didn't get to gawk long. How could I when Caleb was already at the door, opening it for us? Noah, or Mr. N, whatever name floats his boat, took me by the arm and led me inside without a word.I struggled, but of course, it was all in vain.The interior of the said mansion was even worse. It was... beautiful. High ceilings, chandeliers that probably cost more than my mother's medical bills for a year, and walls adorned with art I wouldn't dare put a price on. Marble floors, winding staircases, hallways that stretched farther than I could see.Damn, I literally feel like I'm in a Hollywood movie. Being in a mansion this grand almost feels surreal."You live here?" I asked before I could stop mys

    Elena's POV"Apologize!"Noah said it with a look that could snap steel.My stomach twisted into a knot. What was I thinking, expecting fairness from a Mafia boss?He was Jake's uncle. Of course he'd take his side. Even if Jake was a liar, I was the one making him look bad. In Noah's eyes, that was enough.Jake smirked like he'd just won the lottery."See? Even Uncle Noah agrees you owe him an apology. ""No." Noah's voice cut in.Jake's smug expression evaporated. Like someone had yanked the plug on his ego and all the slime drained out."You and the blonde owe her an apology." Noah's voice was calm, but sharp enough to cut bone.Wait—what? Caroline froze mid-hair flip like someone had slapped her with a wet flip-flop. "Wait, what? We—"I blinked at Noah, too stunned to even blink again. His cheekbones were tense. Jaw locked. He looked like a man holding back an explosion.Was he... taking my side?"For a stupid twenty-thousand-dollar piece of fabric and a damn card, you injured a g

    Elena's POV"Jake, did you seriously just hit a woman?"Noah's voice was dangerously calm, like he was one second away from putting a bullet between Jake's eyes.And for once, I wasn't focused on Jake because Noah had taken off his mask.I had a rough idea of what he might look like. Sharp jawline. Tall, commanding presence. The kind of man who could walk through a crowd and part it without saying a word.But seeing him up close without that mask was something else entirely.His dark hair had the richness of roasted chestnuts, thick and just messy enough to look deliberate. His eyes were icy blue like sapphires buried in fresh snow. They were beautiful and cold in the same breath.His nose looked like it was stolen from a Roman sculpture. The kind of bone structure that made you wonder if angels ever got jealous.And that jawline - sharpened by a shadow of stubble - looked like it could cut through fabric and lies alike.Put all those features together and you'd get a man who belonged
