Julian’s POV

I never knock. I never have tried that. Not even once.

When we were twenty-one in college, she left the pool-house door unlocked the night Leon passed out drunk at his own birthday party, and I took her body, her everything that she offered without saying a damn word.

So why the hell would I start knocking now?

The handle turned really smooth under my hand. The lock was already off. I opened the door and stepped inside like I still owned the place, which I did in a way.

  • Claimed Raw by my Husband's Ruthless Best friend    157 — Morning Feeling

    Ava’s POVI woke up in his bed the next morning, soft morning light came through the curtains, warming my face up. My head felt clearer than it had in weeks, feeling so much better now. I turned slowly, reaching out with one hand. The sheets beside me were empty and cool. Julian was not there.I took quite a while for me to be able to sit up, my head ringing with a dull ache. I looked down and realized that I was wearing only his big white T-shirt. The soft fabric fell loose around my body, brushing against my bare breasts and thighs. It smelled like him — warm skin, his scent, and something that made my stomach flutter. It always did.I stared at myself in the mirror across the room. My hair was so messy, more than last night. My eyes looked tired but fully awake. I touched my face with shaky fingers.“I’m okay,” I whispered to myself, my voice real low, sounding small in the quiet room. “I’m really okay.”Everything made sense now, now that my head is clear. My memories that had ret

  • Claimed Raw by my Husband's Ruthless Best friend    156 — Broken Pieces

    Ava’s POVWe finally reached his place, after a long drive. The moment I stepped inside, cool, fresh air wrapped around my hot, sticky skin like a soft blanket. For the first time tonight, I could breathe properly, my lungs taking in fresh air that didn’t smell like smoke, sex, sweat, or lies. The tightness in my chest loosened up a little, but my heart was still pounding real hard against my ribs, fast and painful.Julian didn’t say a single word to me during the drive. He just drove in silence, giving my racing mind the quiet that it desperately needed even though I didn't ask. My thoughts were still spinning fast and wild. Sharp memories kept cutting into my brain like pieces of broken glass. Now that I remembered everything, I didn’t trust anyone around me. Not even him.The silence between us felt heavy, from the long drive till now. My short dress clung uncomfortably to my body, my mind still not at ease. “How are you feeling?” he finally said something, his voice soft as he c

  • Claimed Raw by my Husband's Ruthless Best friend    155 — The Truth Hurts

    Ava's POV.[PRESENT TIME — THE NIGHT OF THE POOL PARTY: Ref. to Chapter 120 for easy flow]I opened my eyes, gasping for air. My chest rose and fell fast like I had been drowning for a while. Sweat was all on me— my forehead and back, making my skin feel clammy and sticky. All the memories crashed into my head, piercing my mind. The puzzles finally came together. Why Leon treated me like a toy. Why Bella avoided me. And the one that really hurt deepest in my heart — the real, warm love that I once had for Julian.I finally remembered everything. Every detail.I sat up slowly on the bed, my head pounding with a sharp, stabbing pain behind my eyes. Every heartbeat sent fresh pain through my skull. I was still wearing the same black dress. The tight fabric clung to my sweaty skin and felt real itchy. The room smelled thick with old smoke, heavy perfume, and something chemical that I couldn't name. It made my stomach twist real tight and my throat burn.Faint loud music thumped somewher

  • Claimed Raw by my Husband's Ruthless Best friend    154 — Empty Memories

    Ava's POV I sat in the quiet waiting area of the hotel downstairs. The soft lights above felt warm on my skin. I had come early to wait for my fiancé. The leather chair felt cool under my legs. I dropped my bag on the small table and leaned back, relaxed. Soft music played somewhere far away. The smell of fresh coffee and flowers floated in the air. I was so happy to wait for Leon.Then I saw him.Julian walked in now. He looked so ragged and completely broken. His eyes were red and swollen, like he had not slept for days. Dark circles sat heavy under them. His hair was so messy, sticking out in places. His shirt was wrinkled.He walked with slow, his shoulders slumped low, his steps unsteady, like every movement hurt him. Sweat dripped on his forehead even though the room was cool. He looked like someone carrying the weight of the whole world on his shoulder Heartbreak or something deeper was written all over his face.I watched him all this while till he got here. His sharp gaze m

  • Claimed Raw by my Husband's Ruthless Best friend    153 — Drunk on Rage

    Julian's POV.I sat in my office, downing glass after glass of whiskey. The strong liquid burned my throat like fire every time I swallowed it. Every sharp gulp warmed my stomach but did nothing to kill the storm raging inside my chest. The cold, heavy glass now felt slippery in my sweaty palm. The sharp smell of alcohol filled my nose with every breath.I couldn’t believe what that bastard Leon had said to me this morning. The audacity. He betrayed me and still acted like it was nothing. Like he did nothing wrong. Why would he do this to me?My mind kept spinning wildly as my head throbbed with pain. I tried to wrap my thoughts around how my best friend could steal Ava from me. Marrying her? I scoffed loud, but the sound came out broken and painful. Something still felt very wrong about all of this. My stomach twisted into tight knots, just about this. I had to meet Ava myself and hear it from her herself. I needed to see her face.What I didn’t understand now was why she was sudden

  • Claimed Raw by my Husband's Ruthless Best friend    152 — Blood & Betrayal

    Leon's POV “Leon!!”The loud roar exploded through my house late in the morning, breaking the quiet. My good mood died instantly. I knew that voice too well.I stood in my room, fixing my shirt and tie for the office. The soft morning light streamed through the windows and warmed my skin. I had just finished dressing when his voice ruined everything. Anger boiled hot in my chest. I slammed my tie hard to the floor and stormed out of the room, my bare feet slapping against the cold tiles.I walked fast and angry down the hall. My heart pounded heavily. Then I saw him.I slowed down now as I studied him carefully. Julian looked drunk as fuck. His eyes were bloodshot and glassy in the morning. His clothes were wrinkled, stank of old whiskey, sweat, and stale smoke from last night. He swayed unsteadily on his feet and looked pitiful and broken. I was not surprised at all. His life and company had just lost billions. But I still didn’t understand why he barged into my house like this.“G

    James’s POVClub Orion hit me like a fist the second I walked in. Bass pounded deep in my ribcage—low, relentless thumps that synced with my pulse whether I liked it or not.

    Bella’s POVI sat at the dressing table. The mirror was cold under my fingertips. Morning sun sliced through the curtains and burned stripes across my face. I dipped the brush into loose powder. Dust rose like smoke. I dragged it over my cheeks—slow strokes. My hand shook a little. Not from nerves.
