I stared at the screen of my laptop holding the mouse in my hand but not moving it, the cursor blinked on the screen mocking, prompting me to continue.

" Please attach your résumé and cover letter" was scrawled on the company's page. My fingers hovered over the keyboard but I didn't type anything in yet. this was the fifth time today I had filled out an application, and the fifth time I had stared too long at that blinking line.

“Ivana,” Mala’s voice drifted from the kitchen, the clink of spoons and the hiss of the kettle cutting through my chaotic thoughts. “You done with that one yet?”

“Almost,” I lied. My cover letter was still sitting half-finished, the last sentence stubbornly refusing to land. How was I supposed to sum up myself in neat bullet points when I still wasn’t entirely sure who “myself” was anymore?

The scent of peppermint tea filled the air. Mala appeared in the doorway, a chipped mug in each hand, hair piled into a messy bun that looked like it might slide off

  • Sinful contract: Hard Limit, soft moans   Chapter 86

    The island shimmered like something out of a fairytale, a paradise. Standing on the sandy path lined with white roses, I felt the ocean breeze blow across my face, carrying the scent of salt and hibiscus blossoms. My white veil fluttered behind me like wings. Every step forward felt like walking through another life, one I had only dared to imagine in the darkest corners of my old days, back when loneliness was my shadow and insecurity gnawed at me. Now, I stood in a gorgeous designer white lace wedding gown customized for me by a famous Italian designer. The ray of the sun shone on the surface of the ocean as waves after waves orchestrated the event. My was heart pounding as I saw him. Kyl, my fiance and husband to be in a few minutes. He stood at the altar, beneath the arch woven with orchids and silk, he stood waiting for me. His black tuxedo hugged him perfectly, sharp as ever, but it wasn’t the tuxedo that stole my breath. It was his eyes.... stormy gray, locked on me as if

    IVANA: The penthouse glittered with golden light, I had spent all morning making sure every detail of Kyl’s birthday party felt perfect. From the soft jazz music humming in the background to the fresh orchids arranged across the long dining table. Kyl and I had started dating officially about two months ago, and every moment we spent together has been nothing short of bliss. I smoothed my knee-lenght gold and black ball gown for what must have been the hundredth time and pressed my palms over my stomach. The secret that nestled inside me made my heart race. Tonight wasn’t just his birthday, it was the night I would give him a gift that would change our lives forever, for good I hoped. The doorbell chimed, and my heart leaped delightfully. “Relax,” Mala whispered from behind me, brushing a strand of hair from my face. Her own smile was wide and mischievous. “You’ve outdone yourself, Ivy. This place looks like a movie set. I am sure he is gonna love it". “It has to be perfect,

    Ivana's POVi stood Infront of Kyl's penthouse door suddenly afraid, my heart told me to wait but my legs said run!. Maybe coming to see him was a bad idea, fuck me!, damn! I should never have listened to Mala. By the time the doors slid open, my throat had gone dry. My palms were damp against the strap of my purse, I was so nervous I felt so hot all of a sudden.I willed myself and pressed the doorbell for the second time, but doubts gnawed at me. What if the man I saw on TV was different behind closed doors? What if I had read everything wrong, and he has moved on while I was still here, so madly in love with him? The thoughts choked me until I pressed the doorbell for the third time without meaning to do so. From inside, I could hear faint footsteps, the sound of glass on wood. Then suddenly the door slid open, and he stood there, glorious as ever. His shirt was unbuttoned at the collar, his hair slightly ruffled as though he had run his hands through it too many times. A h

  • Sinful contract: Hard Limit, soft moans   Chapter 83

    Ivana's POV The television flickered across the pale walls of the apartment, the hum of Mala’s cheap ceiling fan mixing with the low voice of the news anchor. I wasn’t paying attention at first, I had been buried in manuscripts stacked high across the coffee table, fresh pages from the small publishing firm I had finally built established. My publishing firm which had the log *Prute House* printed on the corner of every draft, still felt surreal to me. i couldn't believe it, I was finally living my dream. Mala sat across from me, cross-legged on the couch, chewing on a pencil she wasn’t actually using. “You’re overworking yourself again,” she teased me for the one hundredth time nudging the stack with her toes. “You built this thing from scratch baby girl , atleast stop and breathe once in a while. Look at you, in CEO mode already.” I smiled faintly, tired but proud to hear her say that “It feels… good, it feels ike I finally own a piece of myself.” I looked up and noticed Mala

    Kyl's POV“I see a change in you already dude, you are practically glowing.” Brian said in a high pitched voice as he stood at the entrance of my office. Sunlight spilled through the heavy glass walls across the marble floor catching the chrome edges of the conference table and the faint steam rising from my untouched coffee. Below us the city buzzed as usual, sirens blaring, cars honking in traffic. I looked up from the report I wasn’t really reading and let out a laugh that surprised me with its own ease. “I look radiant, huh? Don’t start rumors bro, oeople will think I am in love or retarted.” “Maybe you are,” he shot back, stepping farther inside, he pulled out a black leather swivel chair and sat down. His reflection shimmered on the glass table capturing his broad shoulders and large muscles. “But seriously, Kyl, it’s different. Your eyes don’t look like you’ve been wrestling demons all night, I can almost use the word peaceful. yeah that's it, you look peaceful.”He grinne

    Ivana's POV I sprang up from the bed where I was sprawled out like a sheet. I was bored out of my mind from lying down so much at home and I told Mala but she always shushed me. I kept my phone beside me, perhaps hoping that Kyl will call, but the call that came just after sunrise, when the city still wore its soft gray hush and Mala was in the kitchen making a hot cup of coffee for she and I was from the commissioner of police of the city's police department. When Truecaller displayed the caller ID on my phone, I was instantly nervous. Why was the commissioner himself calling me? Is it to inform me that Zarvier had escaped?. A gasped out of fear, goosebumps appeared all over me. I picked the call and gently placed the phone to my ear. “Ivana Prute?” A crisp male voice that sounded official asked “Commissioner Briggs from the City Police Department, good morning.” My throat tightened, I gulped trying to swallow the lump that had formed in my throat “Good morning sir” I manage
