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    159 — Trapped But Broken

    Ava's POV.I got home after two days stay with Julian. My stomach twisted sharp into painful knots as the car stopped in front of his huge mansion. The evening air felt heavy and cool on my skin at the same time.I knew I couldn’t avoid this forever. Leon was definitely going to explode when he saw me. I expected shouting, rage, maybe even his hands on me again. But I had no choice. I was still married to the asshole. I also had to stay close if I wanted to destroy him at the Gold Gala.I took a slow, deep breath before going in there. My chest still felt tight. I stepped out of the car. My heels clicked loudly on the stone path, the sound sharp in the cool and quiet evening. The big mansion loomed over me, cold and dark.“He’s not here at the moment, Mrs. Vance,” Ms. Lin said the second she saw me, her voice polite but cold, it was almost as if she was pitying me. All the other servants lowered their heads quickly. No one dared look me in the eyes.The huge house felt more quiet than

  • Claimed Raw by my Husband's Ruthless Best friend    158 — Safe In His Arms

    Ava’s POVHe dropped me on the bed, so gentle. I fell softly on the bed, breathing hard. My back sank into the cool sheets as I looked up at him, my heart pounding wildly in my chest.Julian stood over me, his eyes so dark with hunger and something much deeper. I watched him as he unbuckled his belt, the metal clicked loudly in the room. He pulled his zipper down. His cock sprang out, throbbing and heavy, so hard. The swollen cap of his dick was already leaking, wet with pre-cum.He climbed over me, still moving slow, his presence felt overwhelming as heat spread all over. He pushed my legs wide open, his gaze dragged from me as he lowered his head between my thighs. His hot, wet tongue licked real slow, going up my soaked pussy, then sucked my swollen clit so hard. "Mmmmm!!" I moaned loudly, my hips already jerking real bad against his face. The wet, filthy sounds of his mouth sucking and licking filled the room. Pleasure shot through me like volts, sending shivers down my spine. H

  • 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

    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

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
