LOVE FOR SALE THE FIRE AT THE VINEYARD
AMBROSE POVI couldn’t get this issue off my mind, and it was clear that the fire that had happened at the vineyard was an accident.Something was definitely fishy, and I couldn’t seem to shake off the feeling that the past had come back to haunt me.I hadn’t even had the chance to face him and tell him about the night I spent with Ben. He was going to be broken when he learned the truth.I groaned deeply and stepped outside for some fresh air because I was on the verge of losing my mind.Maybe leaving New York for a few days would do me some good, and maybe I could finally get rid of the image of Ben and Nolan kissing.I pulled out my phone and decided to call Matteo.He picked up on the first ring.That’s what I liked about him. He was always reliable, and I could count on him.“Ambrose, what do I owe the pleasure of this call?”I desperately needed his advice.I chuckled softly.“There’s a situation, and I don’t want to lose Nolan in the process.”There was silence on the other end

*BEN*Nolan and I were having dinner together.There was just something about the way he constantly looked at me.I always felt flustered under his gaze.Our eyes locked in a frenzy and Nolan slowly leaned in for a kiss and before his lips could meet mine my phone started ringing and I pulled away with a chuckle."Sorry."He nodded quietly and I fished the phone out of my phone.I swallowed hard when I saw Ambrose's name flashing on the screen.I answered the call and placed the phone to my ear and excused myself.Once I was far enough from Nolan I sighed softly."Ambrose?" There was silence from the other end of the line.Saying his name out loud still did a number on me."Benedykta."I swallowed hard."Why are you calling me?" I cut straight to the point."I wanted to apologize for what I said to you at the engagement. I was angry but I shouldn't have crossed the line." I frowned."That's it?"The words left my lips before I could stop them.He chuckled softly."Were you expectin

BEN POVNolan was quick to jump to his father’s aid before he ended up committing murder in broad daylight.When the journalists didn’t respond to what Ambrose had asked, he turned to look at me, and our eyes locked in a frenzy, and my heart skipped a beat.He defended me, even though he barely knew the whole story.Nolan was trying to calm his father down, but Ambrose brushed him off and went into the building, and I remained frozen on the spot as the reporters continued to take pictures of the whole incident, and I could definitely sense a lawsuit coming in.I found myself walking past Nolan with my mind still reeling from the shock.As soon as I walked in, I could hear people murmuring about me, and I ignored them and went to the ladies' bathroom to cool off.I turned on the faucet and glanced in the mirror, staring at my reflection, and I saw a broken girl staring back at me.Tears rolled down my cheeks, and I let them fall this time because there was no one to see my vulnerable s

AMBROSE POVIt’s the first time I have seen Ben this broken.This is a different side of her.She looks broken, and all I want to do is hold her in my arms and tell her that everything is going to be fine and assure her that no one will ever hurt her again.I help her stand on her feet while she is still trembling.The mere thought of some bastard inflicting pain on her makes me feel pissed off.“Ben, look at me.”Her cool, collected demeanor is out the window.It makes me wonder how long she has been this way.I cup one of her cheeks, and she looks up, meeting my gaze.The sparkle in her eyes is gone, and the only thing I can see is fear.She looks terrified.“No one will lay a hand on you while I’m still alive, and that is a promise I will always keep.”She nods quietly.“Do you want to talk about it?” I ask in a worried tone.She wraps her arms around me. I freeze as my body reacts to the heat of her body close to mine.I swallow hard and drape my arms around her waist.She needs c
Last Updated : 2024-09-24LOVE FOR SALE A NIGHT WITH HIM
BEN POVOnce Ambrose and Nolan were gone, I slumped in my chair, tiredly running my fingers through my hair.I was on the verge of losing my damn mind.He saw us… and if Nolan hadn’t walked in at that moment, I am certain that Ambrose and I would have kissed, and that would have been the end of us.What would my family think of me? The whole world would label me as a slut and a homewrecker who ruined a father-son relationship.I couldn’t help but feel guilty.I sighed deeply and trusted Ambrose to handle the issue; after all, he knew Nolan better than I did.I pulled out my phone and decided to call Clay. He was the only person who could make me feel sane at this point.As usual, he picked up on the second ring.“What did you do this time?”My eyes widened in shock.I didn’t expect him to go straight to the point. I cleared my throat nervously.“Ambrose knows everything about Zane… and I had a mental breakdown, and he held me when my world was crashing down. He didn’t even care if he
Last Updated : 2024-09-28LOVE FOR SALE ZANE GREY (SPECIAL CHAPTER)
ZANE POV My gaze lingered on Ben’s recent photo, and I must say she looked hotter than ever, though it was clear that the life in her eyes had been long. She smiled often, but the smile never matched her face. My little doll was still broken, and I was the only one who could fix her. I’ve been sending her gifts to remind her that I haven’t forgotten about her. I still care about her. I still love her, and that’s why I came back to New York. She may have thought that her little stunt had ruined my family’s name. She was wrong. People gossiped about our failed engagement for a while, but it’s been years, and I am finally ready to teach her a lesson. It was just the beginning of our love story. For the past few weeks, I’ve been watching that man and his son get close to you, and it makes me wonder what kind of woman you’ve become, Ben. I never expected you to be a slut. I never expected you to have a fetish for older men, especially since the man you’re sneaking aro
Last Updated : 2024-09-29LOVE FOR SALE RIGHT PERSON, WRONG TIME
**BEN POV**That same night, Ambrose had offered to make dinner while Nolan offered to help his father, but unfortunately, he kept messing up everything, so Ambrose asked him to take care of the dirty dishes in the sink.Whenever I tried to offer my assistance, both men would refuse and simply ask me to relax.It was nice of them, but I felt a little guilty. Watching Ambrose cook looked like a work of art.He caught me staring at him, and I placed the glass to my lips, pretending to drink and mind my own damn business.I could tell that he seemed amused by my behavior.“So where did you learn to cook like that?”I inhaled softly, and it smelled delicious.Ambrose looked up, meeting my gaze, and that throbbing feeling between my thighs was back again, taunting me.“My father enjoyed cooking meals for my mother, and he taught me to do the same at a very young age, especially if I wanted to make the woman I love happy. I used to cook for my wife all the time.”It was the first time he wa

BEN POV He looked at me like he could see through my soul, and that terrified me the most.The distance between us was consuming, like that of a slow dance, and the only thing I craved was the feel of his lips against mine, even if they were forbidden.This man was my father-in-law, and it was a sin to have such vile, intimate thoughts of him.The silence between us was evolving into something more surreal.He took a step forward, wrapping one hand around my waist, and his eyes darkened.“You want the fucking truth?” he rasped in a low tone, taunting me.I let out a shaky exhale.He smirked as I trembled under his gaze.He was playing mind games with me.“Benedykta Rebel, my dearest daughter-in-law, you are better off not knowing what goes on in my head. It’s not a safe place for a princess like you.”I frowned at him.“I am not some damsel in distress, Ambrose. I am a fucking storm who is capable of taking care

LOVE FOR SALE The sacrifice
AMBROSE POVTWENTY MINUTES EARLIER Nolan and I were still parked outside the entrance of the warehouse, and I could still feel the unresolved tension between us.I hated feeling this way, and by all means, I wanted things to go back to normal between us. “Nolan.” He turned to look at me, and the hatred in his eyes was evident. “If anything happens to me in there, and if I don’t come back alive, I want you to take care of Ben, the company, and the vineyard.” He didn’t make a comment. “Many years ago, before I met your mother, I was in the Italian mafia, and it was something that has always been part of my family. So even if I wanted to go a different path in life, its existence will always haunt me. But everything changed when I met your mother.” I smiled to myself as I remembered the day I met Katherine. “She was just a tourist, and she was so excited to visit Italy. When I saw her for the first time, I knew that I had to leave the mafia behind if I was going to be wit
LOVE FOR SALE Ghosts in the warehouse
NOLAN POV I got Ben’s luggage and went to meet up with my father so that we could come up with a plan to safely rescue her without putting her life on the line. The mere thought of seeing her in pain and scared was sending me over the edge, and for the first time in my life, I felt like murdering someone. Zane Gray was going to pay with his fucking life for laying his filthy hands on Benedykta. An hour later, I made it to my father’s mansion, and this place brought back the good memories we had before things went sour between us. This man wasn’t just my father; he was also my best friend, but that bond and those feelings went down the drain the moment he chose to betray me. He slept with the woman I was in love with, and that is something I can’t look past, even if he happens to be my father. Forty minutes later, I arrived at his mansion and offloaded Ben’s luggage, carrying it to the doorstep. I rang the doorbell, and a few moments later, my father opened the door, and
LOVE FOR SALE Monsters
BEN POV I slowly open my eyes, and the room is pitch black. The last memories come rushing back to me like floods consuming me. It was a setup. That woman and the baby were only there to distract me so that I could get away from the public eye. Luring me to the bathroom was the only way to get me alone. I already knew the person behind this attack, and it was none other than my crazy ex-boyfriend. My throat feels dry, and I feel like the walls are closing in on me. “Zane?” I call out in the darkness, and my voice only seems to echo in the vast room. Shit. I needed to keep calm for the baby’s sake; if Zane notices that I’m freaking out, it will be the end of the world, and I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to the baby. “Please, can we just talk?” I whisper tiredly. Tears fill my eyes because, deep down, no one will be able to come to my rescue. The lights suddenly turn on, and my gaze lingers around the room. It was some sort of wareh
LOVE FOR SALE He took her
NOLAN POV It’s best to say that I have been ignoring Rose since we had sex in the shower. I know what I said. I still remember every bit of that moment because her scent keeps taunting me. We had meaningless sex, and I convinced myself that it didn’t mean anything to me, but deep down, I wanted to be the only man who made her vision blurry. That kiss meant more. It was different. It meant something to me, but I was in a bad place to start exploring new connections because I wasn’t over Ben yet, and it was probably fucked up, but I still loved her, and maybe that’s why I’m glad that she wants nothing to do with my father. My father’s company rests on my shoulders, but I haven’t had the heart to show my face, especially after how my so-called wedding went down. I leaned back against the bed and closed my eyes, daydreaming. Was it too late to go back in time? If I had gone to the bar, Ben would have met me instead of my father. Things would have been different for
LOVE FOR SALE Kidnapped
BEN POV Maybe I had reached my breaking point this time around. The news about my adoption seemed to be making matters worse, and for a split second, I almost thought I had lost my damn mind. My grandfather’s words still cut deep, and they kept repeating over and over in my head until I had reached the peak of insanity. I sighed deeply and pulled out my phone. I wanted answers from my so-called mother, but I didn’t mean to be ungrateful; after all, they raised me and gave me this life. Nevertheless, it felt like I was never their daughter but just a charity case. Fuck it. I was going to do it. I was done playing safe. I dialed her number, and she picked up on the third ring. “Benedykta?” I smiled to myself. How could she pretend for so long? She was acting like a saint, blackmailing me to help my dad pay back the debt if I married Nolan, but little did I know that every single action was for their personal gain. I was nothing but a mere puppet in their game.
LOVE FOR SALE Secret identity
**AMBROSE POV** When I finally went back home, I felt defeated. A part of me still had high hopes of winning Ben over, but once again she had rejected me and chose to push me away. This feeling was eating me up from the inside, and the pain within was ready to consume me, and all I had to do was just accept it. The hatred in Nolan’s eyes said it all. It was clear that we had lost that bond forever. I still wanted to make things right. I brought the glass of whiskey to my lips as the pale amber liquid burned my throat. Drinking myself into oblivion tended to numb the pain. I lowered my gaze. “I failed you, Katherine…you had only given me one task before leaving this world, and that was to take care of our son, Nolan, but I failed, and instead, I am the one responsible for his misery.” A lone tear rolled down my cheek. “Katherine…maybe things would be better off if I was the one who died that night. You and Nolan would have been happy without me.” I felt someone
LOVE FOR SALE Just Ben
BEN POV Everything else finally made sense. I was never their granddaughter; for years, they chose to keep the truth from me. Even if I was abandoned, where were my biological parents? Tears continued to roll down my cheeks. “Is that why you’ve always been harsh toward me? You never loved me because I was never your blood, and I finally understand you always treated me like an outsider.” My grandfather sighed deeply, removing his glasses. “No,” he muttered firmly. Our eyes locked in a frenzy. “You don’t get to turn the tables… Benedykta, because this family took you in, and I personally ensured that you always had the best. You went to one of the best elite private schools in the country, and I made sure that you went to Germany for college. I did everything for you, and yet you’ll always be ungrateful.” His voice was laced with bitterness.I sniffled softly. “I never asked you to adopt me… I never fucking asked you for this lavish lifestyle. All I ever wanted was
LOVE FOR SALE Adopted
BEN POV The moment he finally left, I slumped to my knees and broke down crying. Why was I this way? I don’t know why I couldn’t just tell him the truth and get this over with, but something held me back. I broke out of my thoughts when I heard my phone ringing, and when I checked the caller ID, it turned out to be Clay. I wiped my tears and sniffled softly before answering the call. “Hey.” He remained silent from the other end of the line. “Ben, why are you doing this to yourself? He was right there with you… that man truly loves you, and I know that he won’t abandon you, but please stop pushing him away.” I sobbed bitterly. “I’m sorry, I just couldn’t tell him the truth… but it’s probably selfish of me to do this. Maybe this is for the best because I’ll be leaving the country in a few days.” He sighed deeply. “Ben, I know that you’re upset right now, but don’t make any drastic decisions… Besides, do you really want to leave your best friend behind? I can’t let
LOVE FOR SALE The labyrinth
AMBROSE POVI hadn’t heard from Nolan since the wedding was canceled, and ever since that horrible incident, his cellphone has been switched off. It was the same thing with Ben; she never answered any of my calls, but at least I had peace of mind because she was in the company of her best friend. I was just glad that she was safe.I was having a cup of coffee in my apartment when my phone began to ring. I fished it out of my pocket, placing the device to my ear. It was Matteo.“Hello?”“Ambrose, how are you holding up?” he asked in a worried tone.I sighed deeply. “Well, I’ve lost the two people I love. The only thing keeping me sane is the damn company.”“Well, I had warned you to stay away from that girl the moment you knew who she was,” Matteo taunted, and I rolled my eyes.“If you have nothing better to say, I am going to hang up.”“Wait, don’t hang up…I called because I have news about Zane Gray.”Upon hearing his stupid name, my whole mood dampened. “What did you find out?”“Wel
