LOGIN“One night, one price. After that, you are mine until the debt is paid.” Ava Williams was the “No-Extras” girl at the Velvet Room Spa...until the $180,000 bill for her grandmother’s life-saving surgery landed on her desk. Desperate and out of options, she walks into the lion’s den: the penthouse of Nico Jordan. Nico is the city’s most ruthless billionaire, a man with a heart of stone and a back covered in scars he allows no one to see. Their first meeting ended with Ava’s hand across his face and a fire in her eyes that Nico hasn’t been able to forget. He doesn’t want her apology. He wants a contract. The Rules are simple: She lives in his home. She obeys his commands. She must never fall in love. But as the "contract" unfolds, the cold transaction turns into a burning obsession. Ava discovers that the dominant man who "bought" her is the same broken boy she saved from a horrific fire years ago. Just as she begins to see the man behind the monster, the billionaire's elite world conspires to tear her down. Between a jealous socialite ex-fiancée determined to humiliate the "spa girl" and the sudden return of Ava’s first love…now a wealthy rival out for Nico’s blood. Ava is caught in a web of betrayal. But Nico Jordan and his enemies have made one fatal mistake: they think Ava is just a pawn. They don’t know about the secret bloodline running through her veins or the inheritance that is about to make her the most powerful woman in New York. He bought her for a night. He’ll have to crawl to keep her for a lifetime. WARNING!!! FOR MATURE READERS ONLY.
View MoreIt was late morning when a soft but firm knock fell on Ava’s door. She looked up from her books, pen hovering over the page, wondering who it could be…Nico was usually at the office by now, and Serena never knocked before stepping in. She stood, arranged her clothes, and pulled the door open just enough to see who stood there.Ethan leaned casually against the frame, hands in his pockets, looking relaxed but serious. He glanced quickly over his shoulder down the hallway before meeting her eyes.“Ethan?” Ava blinked, surprised. “What are you doing here? Is Nico looking for you?”“Not exactly,” Ethan said, stepping forward slowly when she pulled the door wider. “Actually… Nico doesn’t even know I came. I made sure he was tied up in meetings across town before I headed over. Can I come in for a minute? Won’t take long.”Ava hesitated only a second, then stepped back to let him pass. “Sure. Come in.”He walked over to the window, looking out across the city for a moment before turning bac
Ava sat bent over the desk in her room, the warm glow of the lamp lighting up her open textbook. She tapped her pen against the page, eyes scanning the same paragraph for the fifth time.“Developmental theories… attachment styles…” she muttered under her breath. “Come on, focus.”From down the hallway, soft laughter drifted through the walls. Serena’s light, breathy giggle followed by Nico’s low murmur. Then the distinct creak of a bed. A quiet moan. The sound of head bed hitting the bed started, steady and unmistakable.Ava stopped writing. “Seriously?” she whispered to herself. “Right now?”She dropped the pen, leaned back in the chair, and stared at the ceiling. The sounds continued, another moan, the bed creaking louder. Ava rubbed her temples.She grabbed her phone and started typing fast.Ava: Tessy I’m trying to study but I can hear them. Like… full on. It’s driving me crazy.The reply came almost instantly.Tessy: OMG really?? Well how about a threesome? Go join them! Turn it
Ava had barely been back in the penthouse for an hour when her phone buzzed repeatedly. She pulled it out of her bag and saw a flood of messages, mostly from Tessy. She opened the first one, and gasped.It was a photo taken from a distance, as she had walked away from the restaurant earlier. The image was clear enough to show her face, and right underneath it was a bold caption:“Mystery woman spotted in Nico Jordan’s inner circle, is she just the spa and wellness help, or something more? The city is talking!”It was posted by one of the biggest society bloggers in the city, and it had already been shared hundreds of times.Ava tapped Tessy’s name to call her, and she picked up straight away.“Did you see it?” Tessy asked. “Everyone is sending it to me! ‘Who is this girl? Where did she come from?’ Serena set this up, didn’t she? She made sure someone was there with a camera!”“It looks that way,” Ava said quietly, staring at the screen. “She wanted people to see me, but also to make s
Ava waited until she was back in her room, door locked, before she called Tessy. She was still pacing, voice low but fillled with frustration.Ava: Tessy, you are not going to believe what just happened. Serena is on another level today.Tessy: Oh no. What did the witch do now?Ava: Two huge delivery boxes showed up this morning. Designer stuff, straight from Paris or whatever. She had them placed right in the middle of the living room like some kind of throne. Then she calls me over with this fake smile: “Come here, Ava. Look what just came in!”Tessy:I already hate where this is going.Ava: She opened the first box, silk, lace, gorgeous colors and started running her fingers over everything like it’s garbage to her. Then she said I can have whatever I want because she has “far too many things to wear.” But of course she couldn’t stop there. She looked at my normal clothes and goes, “Though I suppose you might not be used to this kind of quality.”Tessy: (gasping) She did not.Ava: O
Nico stood there, completely stunned. His mind was still trying to catch up, one moment he was fumbling to explain why he’d kissed Serena, and the next, Ava’s lips were on his, warm and demanding. When she finally pulled back just enough to look him in the eye, he was still breathing hard, his expre
Ava barely made it to the bathroom before she locked the door, slid down against it, and pulled out her phone with shaking hands. Tears burned in her eyes as she dialed Tessy. Tessy picked at the first ring.Ava: (voice breaking immediately) Tessy… he kissed her. Right in front of me. Well, not exa
Ava woke up slowly, the morning light filtering softly through the curtains. She reached for her phone on the nightstand and dialed Tessy’s number. It rang three times before her friend picked up.“Hello? Ava? Good morning,” Tessy said, her voice sounding a little groggy.“Morning, Tessy. Did I wak
Ava watched him closely as he ended the call. Nico tossed the phone onto the small table beside him, running a hand roughly through his hair. The tension in his shoulders was obvious, his jaw set hard.“Who was that?” Ava asked, her voice quiet in the quiet room.Nico let out a long, sharp breath,
