Every morning I wake up in my villa, there is a new surprise waiting for me somewhere in the house.

I was always a little unnerved that people were coming in and out at their leisure, but then I remembered that this was Luca Moretti's world, and those who worked for him would never cross him.

There were the usual people who came in, like the housekeepers and gardeners. I met a personal chef who made a few easy-to-grab meals for my fridge. There was also a man named Terry who was a personal trai

  • The Billionaire's Showgirl   Chapter Fifty-Two

    The Strip glittered beneath the afternoon sun like a kingdom built from gold and glass, every towering resort reflecting pieces of the others until the entire skyline seemed to shimmer against the desert sky, and despite having lived in Las Vegas for years, I still occasionally found myself staring at it in disbelief.Today, however, I wasn't the one who looked impressed.Beth practically bounced beside me as we moved through one luxury shopping district after another, her excitement so genuine and infectious that it drew smiles from complete strangers as she hurried from one display window to the next."I still can't believe we're actually going," she said for perhaps the tenth time that afternoon, clutching three shopping bags against her chest while practically vibrating with enthusiasm. "New Zenith. An actual opening event. With investors and celebrities and rich people."I laughed."Investors are just rich people with spreadsheets."Beth gasped dramatically."You can't say things

  • The Billionaire's Showgirl   Chapter Fifty-One

    The curtain rose beneath a storm of golden light, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I forgot about contracts, blackmail, murder investigations, and billionaires who seemed determined to rearrange my entire future.I was home.Not in The Cashmere Crown.Not in the lake house.Not in Luca's world.Home.The stage beneath my feet felt as familiar as my own heartbeat as the opening notes of Angels and Demons thundered through the theater, vibrating through the floorboards and into my bones while dancers flooded the stage around me in a carefully choreographed explosion of movement and light.For weeks, I had fought for this role.Then lost it.Then somehow found my way back to it.Now there was nothing left to prove.Only the performance.Only the audience.Only the music.I spun beneath the spotlight, allowing instinct to take over where anxiety normally lived, my body moving through the choreography with a confidence that had been built over years of rehearsals, audition

  • The Billionaire's Showgirl   Chapter Fifty

    The next morning arrived far earlier than I would have liked.The previous night still lingered at the edges of my thoughts as I made my way back toward the theater, and despite every attempt to focus on something else, I couldn't stop replaying the memory of Luca sitting across from me at that crowded karaoke bar, watching me suffer through every ridiculous song he had selected with entirely too much satisfaction.Part of me was still annoyed.The other part hated how much fun I had secretly had.Unfortunately, neither feeling helped as I stepped through the backstage entrance and returned to the reality waiting for me inside the rehearsal hall."SIENNA!"Beth's voice echoed through the room.Before I could even react, she was already crossing the floor at full speed.A second later, she threw her arms around me.I laughed despite myself."Good morning to you too.""You disappeared.""I was gone for a week.""Exactly."Beth released me and folded her arms dramatically."A whole week.

    The host's voice echoed through the speakers."And next up..."My stomach tightened."...Sienna Hart."The room applauded politely.I considered pretending I hadn't heard my name.Unfortunately, several hundred people had heard it.Including Luca.Especially Luca.I turned toward him one final time, hoping for mercy.The man merely lifted his glass and gestured toward the stage.The traitor.I rose from the booth on unsteady legs and made my way through the crowd while every terrible possibility imaginable marched through my head. The casino lights suddenly seemed brighter than they had a few moments ago, the stage larger, the microphone more threatening.By the time I reached center stage, I was already planning my funeral.The host handed me the microphone.The opening notes of the song began.Then realization hit.My eyes narrowed.Of course.Of course he had chosen this song.The lyrics belonged to a classic country hit about a woman carrying on a secret relationship behind her hu

  • The Billionaire's Showgirl   Chapter Forty-Eight

    Sienna had never been particularly good at waiting.Unfortunately, waiting was all she had been doing since Luca dropped her off at the villa.Waiting for a phone call.Waiting for news from Beth.Waiting to hear whether Hannah had somehow managed to destroy the entire production in a single weekend.Most of all, waiting to discover what exactly Luca Moretti considered an appropriate punishment.That last thought had occupied far more of her attention than she cared to admit.The villa felt unusually quiet that afternoon. Sunlight spilled through the tall windows overlooking the private courtyard, illuminating untouched cups of coffee and a book she had attempted to read three separate times without making it past the same page.Every time she tried to focus, her thoughts returned to Luca.His anger.His disappointment.The quiet way he had said, You used me.A knot tightened in her stomach.The worst part was that he hadn't entirely been wrong.She had used him.Not maliciously.Not

  • The Billionaire's Showgirl   Chapter Forty-Seven

    The hurt in Luca's eyes frightened me far more than his anger ever had.Because anger I understood.Anger shouted.Anger slammed doors.Anger made threats.But disappointment?Disappointment simply stood there in expensive Italian shoes and looked at you as though you had broken something precious.And somehow that felt infinitely worse."Luca," I said quietly, taking a cautious step toward him. "I wasn't trying to use you."His expression didn't change."Then explain it to me."The words were spoken softly.Too softly."Explain why every person in this city knew what was happening except me.""I was trying to protect you."His laugh was bitter."Protect me?""Yes."I folded my arms around myself and fought to keep my voice steady. "Hannah's father is essential to Zenith Springs. Their hotels are important. Their money is important. Their support is important

    For a long moment, neither of us moved.The city glittered beyond the glass behind me, thousands of lights stretching across the Las Vegas valley like fallen stars. Normally, I would have admired the view.Now I couldn't seem to focus on anything except Luca.He stood close enough that I could feel

  • The Billionaire's Showgirl   Chapter Twenty-One

    I made it through the rest of rehearsal on pure instinct.The choreography happened around me. Music played. Corrections were given. Dancers moved through formations.I couldn't have told anyone a single thing we practiced.My mind remained trapped on one terrible thought.Monica was dead.Every tim

    The next morning arrived far earlier than I would have liked.I had barely slept.Every time I closed my eyes, I found myself back in the car with Luca.The memory had become increasingly annoying somewhere around three o'clock in the morning.His voice.His hand resting on my knee.The way he had

  • The Billionaire's Showgirl   Chapter Nineteen

    The silence that followed Monica's accusation felt suffocating.Hundreds of eyes shifted between us as whispers began spreading through the ballroom. Investors, celebrities, politicians, and executives exchanged curious glances. A moment ago, they had been applauding Luca's vision for Zenith Spring
