Chapter One
The ScandalLucaMy phone started vibrating, waking me up in a haze. I blink against the morning light, groaning as I reach blindly for the device on my nightstand. The screen is flooded with missed calls, fifteen from my father, three from Tony, and one from a number I don’t recognize. That alone is enough to set my teeth on edge. My father never calls unless the world is on fire, and even then, he would expect me to put it out.My thumb taps the first message on my phone and the headline explodes across the screen in all caps, bold and damning.“MAFIA HEIR LUCA DELUCA SPOTTED LEAVING HOTEL WITH POLITICIAN’S WIFE, INTIMATE PHOTOS SURFACE”I sit up straight, the silk sheets pooling around my waist as I scan the article. Photo after photo, grainy yet unmistakable. My jaw clenches. The woman is barely visible, wrapped in a coat and sunglasses, but I’m not as lucky. My face is crystal clear. My name dragged through every gossip blog and major tabloid within a matter of hours.The door to

Chapter Two
The ArrangementLilaI had been sitting in this sterile hospital room for hours, my body numb against the hard plastic chair. The soft hiss of oxygen and the rhythmic beeping of the monitor were the only sounds keeping me tethered to the moment. I had learned to measure time by the machines, how long between the warning chimes, how often the nurse adjusted the IV.And still, no miracle.My mother lay motionless under the thin blanket, her skin pale, her lips cracked and colorless. Each shallow breath sounded like a battle she was losing. My throat burned as I watched her chest rise and fall, slower each time. I had promised her I would take care of everything. I had promised her I wouldn’t let her die alone and afraid.But promises didn’t pay for chemo. Money did. Money I didn't have. The doctor’s words replayed in my mind like a cruel mantra.Stage four. Immediate treatment. You need to prepare for the worst.The worst.I pressed my palm over my mouth, trying to muffle the sob that c

Chapter Three
The ContractLilaThe car ride to Luca Deluca’s penthouse felt like the slow march to my execution.The world beyond the tinted glass was still waking up, streetlights blinking off one by one, the city exhaling the last of its midnight secrets but inside the back seat, everything felt suspended. My hands were folded tightly in my lap, trying to keep from shaking. I could feel the driver’s eyes flick up in the mirror now and then, assessing me the way people look at a stray dog on the verge of collapse.When we finally pulled into the underground garage, I felt the last sliver of air leave my lungs. I had no idea what waited upstairs. What kind of man waited upstairs. I had served him a few times and seen him on blogs, but you can't really tell anything about a man until you have lived with them.The elevator was cold and silent as it carried me higher and higher, past the glittering floors of glass and steel. My reflection in the mirrored walls looked pale, hollow eyed. A ghost of the

Chapter Four
The First AppearanceLilaWe were going to make a public appearance for the first time today, and all I could think of was my mom and everything that could possibly go wrong. But I needed to focus on getting through this. The dress they gave me was stunning.Deep emerald silk, cinched at the waist, elegant but not showy. The kind of gown you could only wear once in your life, and only if that life belonged to someone else.I stood in front of the mirror in Luca’s penthouse dressing room, my reflection looking back like a stranger. I barely recognized myself hair styled in soft waves, lips painted a delicate rose, diamond earrings I hadn’t dared to touch dangling from my ears.The woman in the mirror looked like she belonged at a gala.Too bad she didn’t feel like she belonged anywhere at all.A soft knock came at the door, followed by Luca’s voice. “Car’s downstairs, we are ready.”I swallowed hard and stepped out.Luca stood in the hallway already dressed in a perfectly tailored blac

Chapter Five
The GossipLila“I’m going to freshen up,” I murmured, already needing to escape. The tension between Luca and Vanessa was too much. Luca glanced at me, something unreadable in his eyes, but he didn’t stop me. Maybe he knew I was seconds away from breaking. Maybe he didn’t care.The ladies’ room was tucked down a marble hallway lined with gilded mirrors. My heels clicked across the polished floor as I pushed the door open. Inside, everything was white and gold, as pristine as a museum. Scented candles flickered along the countertop, casting dancing shadows across the sinks.I stepped into one of the stalls and locked the door behind me.For a moment, I just stood there, my forehead resting against the cold metal, breathing in shallow little gulps like I was trying to swallow my own panic.I had survived the cameras. The endless smiles. Vanessa’s cutting little barbs. But the worst part was how effortlessly I’d pretended I belonged there, draped on Luca’s arm like an accessory. A troph

Chapter Six
The Drive HomeLilaThe gala felt like a fever dream by the time we slipped back into the Bentley. My skin was still tingling from the weight of a hundred eyes, the press of Luca’s hand at my back, the venom in Vanessa’s smile.I sank into the leather seat, staring out at the golden lights of the city as the driver eased into traffic.I wanted to close my eyes, just for a second, and forget that this was my life. But the moment I did, I could still hear their voices in the restroom, those brittle, perfect women tearing me apart as if I were nothing.The car was silent for exactly three breaths. Then Luca’s phone vibrated.He didn’t look at me as he picked it up.“Vanessa,” he said, his voice low and calm in the hush of the cabin.Something cold slid down my spine.He didn’t even pretend to keep his distance now.“Yes,” he murmured after a moment. “I saw you leave.”I turned my head toward the window, pressing my palm against my throat. The city blurred past in streaks of white and ambe

Chapter Seven
The VisitLilaIt had been at least twelve hours since the gala. I had not seen or spoken to Luca at all until this morning when he abruptly told me we were taking a trip to the hospital to see my mom. The car ride to the hospital was silent as expected. Not the thick, simmering silence of our nights in the penthouse, or the brittle, poisonous one after the gala. This was different.This was the quiet of two people who didn’t have the strength left to pretend.I kept my gaze trained on the tinted window as we drove, counting the streetlights sliding past in neat, indifferent intervals. A part of me wondered if Luca would even bother coming inside. Maybe he’d drop me off like a parcel, then vanish back to the penthouse and whatever business, or woman he would rather see.But when we pulled up to the private entrance of the clinic, he didn’t move to dismiss the driver. He stepped out first, coming around to open my door.His hand extended toward me, palm up. I stared at it for a moment

Chapter Eight
The MemoryLucaI’ve spent most of my life mastering the art of detachment, in my line of work you need it to survive and get ahead of the game. It’s easier that way. Cleaner. When you grow up in my world, blood on your father’s hands, power traded like currency you learn to build walls so thick no one can touch you.But watching Lila with her mother, I hadn’t been prepared for that.The way she bent over the bed, her face so tender it looked like it belonged to someone else. The way her hand hovered near the IV line as if she could protect her mother from the sickness seeping through her veins. The way her voice broke when she whispered, 'You look beautiful, Mama.' It was a kind of love I didn’t recognize. A kind I’d never been given.For a moment, I wasn’t the man everyone believed me to be, the cold blooded heir who could ruin a man’s life with a single phone call. I was just a boy again, standing in the doorway of a sterile hospital room, watching the only person who had ever lov

Chapter Nine.
The KissLilaI didn’t speak to him when we stepped out of the elevator into the penthouse.I didn’t look at him, either.If I looked at Luca, I knew I’d start to feel things I wasn’t ready to feel, things I didn’t have the luxury of feeling.I kept my eyes fixed on the polished marble floor as I walked past the silent living room, past the wall of windows glittering with the city lights, and down the hall to the guest suite I’d started thinking of as mine.But when my hand touched the doorknob, I heard his footsteps behind me.He hadn’t turned away this time.I swallowed hard, trying to keep my voice steady. “You don’t have to follow me.”“I know.”His tone was low and almost careful, as if he was afraid one wrong word would send me running.I didn’t turn. I couldn’t. Not with my heart still raw from the hospital, from watching my mother struggle to smile, from the hollow echo of the words she’d asked me: Are you happy?I pressed my palm to the cool wood of the door, willing my hands

Chapter Ten
The DistractionLucaThe moment I turned away from her, I knew I had made a mistake. Not the kiss.But the fact that I’d let it mean something.I walked down the dark hallway, each step echoing off the marble floors like an accusation. My hand lifted to my mouth, fingers brushing the lingering heat of her lips.What the fuck are you doing Luca?I had kissed plenty of women. Women who knew the rules, who never expected more than what I was willing to give.But Lila wasn’t one of them. She was nothing like any of those women. She was supposed to be a solution. A distraction for the public. A clean, pliable answer to a scandal that would have gutted my business if left unchecked.She wasn’t supposed to feel like…I stopped that thought before it could finish.Feelings were for men too weak to control them.And if there was one thing I refused to be, it was weak.I strode into my office and shut the door behind me, welcoming the cool hush of solitude. The city sprawled beyond the glass wa
