Chapter 48: Traitor’s End

MARCO’S POV

The penthouse was a fortress of shadows, its marble floors cold under my boots as I trudged down the hallway, exhaustion dragging at my bones. Lucian was back, it’s been three weeks since he woke from his coma, a ghost of the man I’d known, his eyes harder, his voice sharper, cutting through the syndicate like a blade. I was thrilled to see the old Lucian, the cold-hearted bastard who’d built an empire on fear, but a hollow ache—gnawed at me. He wasn’t the same with me anymore—no late-night cigars, no shared laughs, just orders barked and silences that stung.

Ethan’s betrayal had broken him, and I hated that Fed for it, hated how he’d wormed into Lucian’s heart, a place I’d always wanted to be. Although I’d never admitted it, not even to myself, but watching Lucian pine for Ethan twisted something deep inside me—jealousy, maybe love, a longing to be the one he turned to, the one he trusted like that.

    Chapter 52: Financial Chains SARAH’S POVThe morning light sliced through the bedroom curtains, stinging my eyes as I woke, my stomach churning with a nausea that wouldn’t quit. I rolled over, the sheets cold, Ethan’s side of the bed empty—again. A week had passed since our wedding, and he hadn’t slept beside me once, choosing the living room couch or disappearing altogether, his absence was a quiet rebellion. I stumbled to the bathroom, my bare feet slapping the hardwood, and knelt over the toilet, retching, the sour taste of bile coating my tongue. I wiped my mouth with a trembling hand, my reflection in the mirror a ghost—pale skin, sunken eyes, blonde hair tangled from restless sleep. Ethan wasn’t here, probably out on one of his morning runs, trying to outrun his misery. I smirked, bitter, knowing he was broke, his bank accounts under my control, his life unraveling exactly as I’d planned.I’d known he was done for when Ryan called last week, his voice dripping with smug satisf

  • I AM YOURS TO PLAY   51. Vows Of Sorrow

    Chapter 51: Vows Of SorrowETHAN’S POVThe bank’s waiting room was a sterile cage, the fluorescent lights buzzing like a swarm of wasps, their glare reflecting off the glass partition and into my bloodshot eyes. I slumped in a creaky plastic chair, my suit wrinkled, my stubble patchy, my body heavy with exhaustion. Sleep had been a stranger for weeks, my nights haunted by Lucian’s bloodied face, his body shielding mine from the bomb that tore through my car three months ago. My thigh still ached, the scar a constant reminder of my cowardice—running from him, from us, to save my reputation. My phone sat useless in my hand, the bank app flashing Access Denied for the seventh day straight, my savings and salary locked away. I needed money, needed answers, needed something to stop my life from slipping through my fingers like ash.“Mr. Caldwell!” the teller’s voice snapped, sharp and irritated, the second time she’d called. I flinched, getting up as I shuffled to her desk, my leg protes

  • I AM YOURS TO PLAY   50. Mistaken Passion

    Chapter 50: Mistaken PassionMARCO’S POVMy phone buzzed in my hand, Lucian’s name flashing, his voice a slurred, panicked rasp on the other end. “Marc, I need you here. Now.” The call cut off, but the fear in his tone hit me like a bullet. I stood outside Obsidian, the Miami night humid and pulsing with neon, my heart racing. I’d tried to warn him not to follow that stripper to the private room because she didn’t look genuine, I’d noticed the way her eyes darted too much when she approached him, her smile was too sharp and fake, it was like she was hiding something. But I hadn’t said a word because I didn’t want to look like a jealous sicko in the sight of my boss, nor did I want him to know how much I loved him. Seeing him with her, her hands on him, had twisted a knife in me, but I’d kept my mouth shut, telling myself it was probably just my imagination, my longing for him clouding my instincts, but now I knew I was wrong to not have said a thing earlier.I sprinted toward the clu

  • I AM YOURS TO PLAY   49. Hollow Desires

    Chapter 49: Hollow Desires LUCIAN’S POVBlood on the dining room floor had set the tone for my day—another fucking mess, another betrayal, another reminder that my world was rotting without Ethan. I stood in my penthouse study, the Miami skyline a blur through the windows, my hands gripping the desk as I tried to focus on syndicate ledgers. Carlo’s headless body flashed in my mind, his pleas, the katana’s clean slice, but it wasn’t the blood that ruined me. It was Ethan—his absence, his silence, his engagement to that bitch Sarah, plastered all over social media. I’d woken from a coma three weeks ago, my body scarred, my heart gutted, and he hadn’t called, hadn’t checked if I was alive. I’d tried his old number, late at night when the whiskey hit hard, but it went straight to voicemail, dead, like whatever we had. Maybe he’d changed it, moved on, erased me. I wanted to ask Marco, to know if Ethan even knew I’d woken up, but pride choked me. I couldn’t show that weakness, couldn’t le

  • I AM YOURS TO PLAY   47. Cold Vengeance

    Chapter 47: Cold Vengeance LUCIAN’S POVMy eyes fluttered open, the sterile white of the hospital room piercing my skull like a blade. Machines beeped, tubes snaked from my arms, and my body ached like I’d been run over by a freight train. Marco’s voice cut through the haze, sharp and panicked, his phone pressed to his ear as he paced by the window. “Fix it, damn it,” he hissed, his free hand clenched. “I don’t want the boss waking up to see his empire crumbling.” My vision swam, the ceiling tiles blurring, my chest tight as I tried to piece together where I was. The last thing I remembered was the diner, the bomb’s red blink, tackling Ethan to the ground, then—nothing. “Fuck…” I whined sharply as a sharp pain lanced through my shoulder as I tried to sit up, my voice raw and ragged.Marco’s head snapped toward me, his eyes wide, glistening with threatening tears. “Boss!” He dropped the phone, the clatter echoing, and rushed to my side, his hands hovering, unsure. “Oh my God, you’re
