Chapter 24 – Smoke Before the Fire
Last Updated:
2025-10-06 21:28:10The night didn’t feel like night.
It was too quiet, too sharp — the kind of silence that stretched until it hurt.Liana stood by her window, the city’s skyline glowing faintly beyond the estate. The moonlight touched the glass, and her reflection stared back at her — pale, restless, and far too aware. She hadn’t seen Leo since that conversation in his office. Not even at dinner. Cassian and Dante had joined her and Aria instead, both of them acting as though everything was fine.But it wasn’t.She could feel it in the air — a tension that made her chest ache.When her phone buzzed on the nightstand, she jumped.A message from Cassian.> Stay in your room tonight. Don’t open the door for anyone. No matter what you hear.Her heart skipped. No matter what you hear.The phrasing sat like ice in her stomach.She typed back, Cassian, what’s happening?No reply.The clock ticked softly beside

By morning, the world had already turned upside down.Liana woke to the sound of her phone vibrating nonstop on the nightstand. Half-asleep, she groaned and reached for it — only to freeze when she saw the flood of notifications lighting up her screen.Hundreds of them.Her name was everywhere.Her picture was everywhere.And not just any picture — it was her and Viktor Moretti, stepping out of the private elevator last night. The angle, the lighting, the timing — everything about it screamed scandal.“Mystery woman spotted with notorious mafia lord.”“Viktor Moretti’s secret girlfriend revealed?”“Who is Liana Carver — sister of billionaire Leo Carver — and why is she linked to the underworld’s most dangerous man?”Her blood ran cold.She sat up abruptly, hands shaking as she scrolled. There were more pictures — Viktor’s hand at the small of her back, the car door opening for her, the faint smile on her lips
Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers Chapter 49 — Dinner with the Devil
qThe restaurant Viktor chose wasn’t one that appeared on any map. It sat on the thirty-eighth floor of a private skyscraper, accessible only by a black-coded elevator that recognized his fingerprint. The place was all glass, silver, and quiet luxury — the kind of setting that whispered danger and wealth in equal measure. Liana had told herself a hundred times she wouldn’t come. She told herself it was reckless, stupid, exactly the kind of thing her brothers warned her about. And yet, she was there. She stepped out of the elevator in a simple but striking black dress — one of her own designs, sharp and elegant, with a silver belt that caught the dim light. Her heels clicked against the marble floor as she entered the restaurant’s private section. Viktor was already there. Of course he was. He stood near the window, phone in hand, city lights spilling across his profile like a painting in motion. When he looked up a

The morning started too quietly for the Carver household. Too peaceful — the kind of peace that always came before a storm.Liana woke to her phone buzzing endlessly. Dozens of messages, missed calls, and mentions flooded her notifications. She groaned, sitting up and squinting at the screen. Then her breath caught.Every major fashion blog, celebrity site, and business magazine was talking about her.“Viktor Moretti Publicly Declares Support for Rising Designer Liana Carver.”“Mafia Lord or Guardian Angel? Viktor Moretti Funds Liana Carver’s Brand.”“Viktor Moretti Sends 3 Million Dollars to Carver Atelier — What’s the Connection?”Her hand flew to her mouth. What did he just do?Scrolling through, she found the source — a video clip from a charity gala the night before. Viktor, standing tall in his signature black suit, surrounded by cameras, had been asked about his latest “investment interest.”He smiled, cool and unb

By the time Cassian found out about Draven Dusk’s uninvited reappearance, the entire mansion was already awake. And tense.He had returned from Milan that morning, still half-dressed from travel, his phone blowing up with missed calls from Leo and Dante. But it was the short, clipped message from the head of security that made his blood turn cold:“Draven Dusk was seen at Miss Carver’s business meeting yesterday.”Cassian didn’t even bother dropping his bag before he stormed upstairs.Liana was in the breakfast room, sketching at the table, her coffee untouched. The moment she saw his face, her pencil stilled.“Cassian?”He didn’t answer right away. He took a breath — calm, measured, terrifyingly controlled. “Tell me it isn’t true.”She blinked. “What?”“Tell me that man wasn’t near you.”Her throat went dry. “He—showed up after my meeting. Just to talk. It wasn’t anything serious.”“Anything s
Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers Chapter 46 — The Morning After the Gala
Morning sunlight filtered softly through the tall windows of the Carvers’ suite. Vienna looked peaceful from up here — the river glinting like liquid gold, the streets below calm and quiet. But inside, the atmosphere was anything but serene.Leo Carver stood by the window, his tie discarded, his phone buzzing endlessly on the coffee table. He hadn’t slept a wink. His mind was replaying every damn moment from last night.Draven Dusk.Aiden Cross.And his baby sister in the middle of both of them.Liana walked in quietly, barefoot, dressed in a soft cream robe, her hair tied up messily. “You’re up early,” she said, though her voice was gentle — cautious.Leo turned toward her slowly, eyes sharp. “We need to talk.”Her stomach dropped. “That bad, huh?”“Liana, what the hell were you thinking?”She crossed her arms, frowning slightly. “About what exactly?”He took a step closer. “You disappeared from my side, and when I found you again, you were outside with Draven Dusk — the man every in
Spoiled By My Overprotective Brothers Chapter 45 — The Summit of Shadows and Stares
The Carver mansion was unusually busy that morning. Assistants moved briskly through the hallways, carrying files, garment bags, and freshly pressed suits. Drivers waited outside. The sound of polished shoes and murmured phone calls echoed faintly in the marble foyer. Leo Carver was heading out of town — and when the eldest Carver traveled, everything had to be perfect. Liana sat at the edge of the grand staircase, watching the controlled chaos unfold with her cup of coffee in hand. She wasn’t used to seeing her brother’s business world up close like this — the suits, the urgency, the authority that followed him like a second skin. He noticed her watching. “You’re up early,” he said, adjusting his cufflinks as he came closer. “I had to see the legend before he flies off to conquer another empire,” she teased. He smirked faintly. “Flattery, Liana?” She shrugged. “Maybe I want something.” “Of course you do.” She put her coffee down and leaned forward. “I want to come with you.”
