The contract that freed her Chapter 23
He took a couple of big steps toward us as he wiped his face clean with the wet towel one of the guards had provided for him. He stopped right in front of his mother and me as he handed the now red‑stained white towel back to the guard, waving him off. He cupped his mother’s face and left a kiss on her right cheek before his eyes traveled to me.I stood awkwardly next to his mother in a black off‑shouldered dress that I had changed into right before my meltdown in the bathroom happened. My then perfectly blow‑dried hair was now in a messy bun with a few strands left to adorn my face. He gave a small smile before his rather big arms surrounded my narrow waist, drawing me close to him to the point where my face was leaning against his chest.I felt how his mouth left a hot, burning kiss on my forehead before he smoothed my waist with his hands.“I hope that scene did not scare you.” His voice sounded warm and caring, unlike that annoying tone of his that always irritated me every single
The contract that freed her Chapter 22
I have always wondered how it would be to share a house with a ruthless man, one who thrived on fear and control rather than human interaction. It might not have always been on the top of my list, but one thing I was good at was imagining a future that belonged to me alone.Now none of those vivid scenes and pictures in my head could ever compare to the horror I felt when my brother‑in‑law’s bloodied body was rushed into the apartment, followed by a stream of men in white clothes who screamed and barked orders to the ones in black suits.I stared at the bloodied trail he had left behind — or rather, that had dripped from his badly wounded injury — and felt how nausea made its way up my throat, threatening to spill out in seconds. I ran upstairs and closed myself in the bathroom, emptying my stomach.I hated the sight of blood. For a person who had done a lot of horrendous things, blood was a reminder of my cruel sins — sins that needed to be cleansed but could not be cleansed no matter

Luciano's povI cursed under my breath as I grabbed my car keys in the closet before I hurried down the stairs, not bothering to hang up on the panicked bodyguard on the other side of the phone. A bodyguard who had left my brother alone to make a deal with someone he was not supposed to make a deal with.Now I understood why he had come up with a stupid excuse of oversleeping instead of signing the contract with Rivera. Right now I was beyond agitated and frustrated — I was mad, raging even. My younger brother was not a very careful person; heck, he never thought about what he did and the consequences it could lead to. And this one might cost him his life.I entered the kitchen to see Valentina and Marta standing above the stove, talking about something I could not make out or hear, but that was the least of my problems right now.“I have to head out for something quick, I’ll be back later,” I said, waiting for her to turn fully and give me a shocked but gentle nod before I rushed out

Luciano's Pov“I do not care how or what you do, get it done, Allen,” I screamed at my idiot of a younger brother through the phone as I cut the call and slammed it onto the table with frustration.This is why I like to do my own shit. The moment I allow anyone to do anything for me, they give me a headache that wouldn’t exist if I had just done it myself. In this case, my younger brother had overslept on the day he was supposed to sign a contract with one of our biggest clients. How he managed to actually forget something of that importance was beyond me.I let out a sigh and ran a hand over my face as annoyance bubbled in my body. The adrenaline needed to be vented out or else I would beat the fuck out of my younger brother the moment I saw him. I stood up from my chair and made my way towards my bedroom to change from my comfortable clothes to a pair of gym clothes before I started my workout.As soon as I opened the door to my room, I was greeted by Valentina standing in the middl
The contract that freed her Chapter 19
It was safe to say that she was not very happy with my choice, but I could not care any less about her happiness. As a coach she was shitty — never once did she care about our health and wellbeing. If she could get paid for our misery, then I was allowed to compete in whichever category I wanted to. Either way she was going to make my life harder; I might as well do it with someone I enjoy being around. “You do realize she is going to be up your ass for this, right?” Selin said as she held my leg, stretching it as far up as she could until my muscles protested in pain. I tapped her shoulder before I pulled my hamstring back. “I could not give any less shit about her opinions right now. Either way she was not going to make these coming three months easier.” We switched positions as she stood and balanced herself on one leg, holding my shoulder as I now stretched her left leg as high as I possibly could before I felt her tapping my shoulder. “Let’s not talk about her. Tell me about yo

“I love him,” Luca said as he pointed towards his jersey, the one Uncle Will had bought for him as his fifth birthday gift. “He is so good. I want to be like him when I grow up,” he said proudly, puffing his chest like a proud mother.His love for football had worried Marta, but she quickly realized she would rather have him obsessed with this stupid sport than hooked on video games and YouTube. I personally did not know why it would be a problem for him to watch a sport — after all, everyone had a passion for something — but it wasn’t until I saw him ugly‑cry about his team losing that I understood Marta’s hardship.He got grumpy and rather distant when his team lost. I mean, how devastating could it be for a couple of men running after a ball to lose a game? My question was always answered with sarcasm and Luca’s burning eyes.“Personally, I think Turan is better than him,” Luciano said as he crossed his arms over his chest.This man really knew how to get into people’s heads, becau
