Addicted as Hell

Kane's POVI touched the corner of my mouth—burning hot. There was the sharp tang of blood on my tongue.She bit me hard. Like she wanted to rip my damn face off.Rage flared, fast and white-hot. But honestly?I wasn't even mad.Not really.If anything... I kind of enjoy it."All of you, get out," I waved a lazy hand at the girls who'd been ushered in to entertain me.They froze—probably shocked that I'd spoken up. I tilted my chin, my tone turning cold and commanding. "OUT."That did the trick. They scattered like startled birds, heels clicking as they vanished down the hall.Yeah, I chose this place tonight.Baron had told me a few days ago that she was working here now.At the time, I'd laughed it off. This was within my expectations.Didn't say much. But it stuck with me. Started spinning in my head, whether I wanted it to or not.Tonight was supposed to be about business. I was meeting a few guys to finalize a deal. Could've picked any quiet, private spot in the city.And yet som

A Tense Moment

Aria's POVAmong all of us, Nina was the boldest… and the most ruthless.Besides working here, she ran an OnlyFans account, filming explicit videos—most of them without the men even realizing they were being recorded.Her usual routine was simple and terrifying: get a man drunk—or worse, drugged—then sleep with him while his mind was clouded.If she couldn't get video footage, she'd at least snap some compromising photos. The kind of men who came here weren't the type to call the cops. They'd rather pay to bury the scandal.Tonight was a golden opportunity. There were VIPs in the building—real money. Not the usual cheap, sleazy guys she hunted.But—This one was… too big for her. She was clearly struggling to support his weight. I watched as she half-dragged, half-dropped him onto the couch.From where I stood, I could only see his shoes, but a strange unease twisted in my gut.

Ignore Or Save?

Aria's POVBarefoot, Nina moved lightly but quickly across the floor.I peeked through a gap in the curtain.She was bending over Kane, her lips curled into a sultry smile as she studied Kane."Darling…" she purred, brushing a kiss across the back of his head. Her fingers slid down, reaching for his belt."Don't worry," she giggled, voice syrupy and slow. "Please wait patiently, I'm getting dressed up especially for you..."I clenched my jaw so tight it ached.He'd hurt me so deeply. Broken me.But watching him now—passed out, vulnerable, being touched like a lifeless doll—I felt something I couldn't explain.It wasn't even empathy. It was pure, gut-level resistance.A twisted surge of possessiveness I didn't know I had. A furious, bitter hatred that she dared to touch him like he was hers.And I hated myself for feeling it.I didn't want to care. I had no

Time to Remind Her

Aria's POVThe alarm blared just after sunrise, and I jolted upright like I'd been struck by lightning.I rushed straight to the living room door and cautiously peeked inside. Kane was still sprawled on the couch, deep in sleep, his face flushed an alarming shade of red.Only then did I let out a small sigh of relief. I quickly and quietly gathered my things, careful not to make a sound.Even my breathing felt like it might give me away as I slipped out the door like a thief in the night.I didn't want him to know that we had spent another night in the same house, even though I had saved him.That evening, I returned to the bar with a nervous flutter in my chest. After the chaos of last night, I was half-convinced I'd be fired—or worse, get chewed out by the manager in front of everyone.But to my surprise, he looked at me and said,"Aria, you've been doing really well lately. Starting today, you're the new head server. And yes, your pay's going up too."I was so shocked I almost aske

Late-Stage Stomach Cancer

Aria's POVIt wasn't until we wandered aimlessly through the mall that I realized—Caleb never really intended to buy anything.Maybe he just didn't want me to feel awkward, so he came up with an excuse to walk around together.He hadn't changed. Still the same thoughtful, gentle Caleb. So gentle, in fact, it made me feel off-balance.I picked out a few pieces for him to try, and he smiled and tried on every one. Whatever I said looked nice, he bought without hesitation.Throughout it all, he kept a respectful distance, always meeting my eyes when he spoke. There was something in his gaze—warm, steady—that made my heart flutter in a way I hadn't felt in a long time.Just as the clerk was packing up his purchases, he turned to me and asked, "Aria, do you plan on working at the bar forever?"I blinked, caught off guard. "What?"He seemed to realize how blunt that sounded and quickly backtracked. "I didn't mean it like that. It's just… you deserve more. Have you thought about finding some

Selling Myself

Aria's POVDr. Harlan continued, "He's had serious lung problems for years, and that drew attention away from his stomach. When he started vomiting blood, we thought it might be an ulcer or a tear—but tests confirmed otherwise."He didn't need to say the rest. The shake of his head said enough.My voice trembled as I forced the words out. "Is there… is there still a chance? A way to treat it?""Yes," he answered quickly. "Surgery is possible. But it'll be expensive. And recovery won't be easy—he'll likely need lifelong medication. He's refusing treatment because he doesn't want to burden you."That was it. The final crack. My heart gave out, and the tears came fast, blurring everything around me.I stood in a sterile hospital corridor, but it felt like I'd fallen into a pit of memories—heavy, suffocating, and full of guilt.All along, Dad had refused treatment for his lungs so he could keep working, just to save me from having to repay student loans.Mom, even when sick, kept cooking

Do You Still Want Me?

Kane's POVThe clinking of glasses and shrill laughter cut through the bar like needles, jabbing straight into my ears. The burn of whiskey still clung to the back of my throat, dull and numbing.I tilted my head back and downed the last of it, letting the amber liquid flood my gut, trying to drown the chaos in my head.Across the room, Eden had his arm slung around someone, cracking dirty jokes that made the table erupt with laughter.I shouldn't have come.Truth be told, I hadn't felt right since yesterday—like something heavy was stuffed inside my chest, making it hard to breathe. But when Eden called, I said yes anyway. Now I was here, surrounded by noise and bodies, but completely detached.Yesterday, I almost lost it. Almost stormed down there and dragged Aria back just to remind her who the hell I was.But when I saw her standing there, smiling like she actually meant it—so light, so unburdened—so different from the angry, bristling little wildcat I was used to…At that moment,

Welcome To My World

Aria's POVThe moment the call ended, it felt like every bone in my body had turned to dust. I collapsed into the mattress, limbs weak, chest tight.That cursed phone call was finally over.No matter how many times I told myself it was a "choice," selling yourself to a man—no matter the reason—wasn't something you could swallow without a trace of shame. The humiliation lingered. It clung to my skin, sank into my bones.And yet... the moment he agreed, a strange wave of relief washed over me.Like a bowstring pulled too tight for too long had finally snapped.Even if just for a second—I could breathe.If I'd already decided to trade my dignity like a product, then there was no room left for self-pity. I had to own the choice. No more flinching.I found my manager and handed in my resignation. He barely tried to talk me out of it. In fact, he personally walked me to the door, grinning like he knew something I didn't. Clapped me on the shoulder and said, "Aria, you're welcome back anytim

18+ Prove Your Worth

Kane's POVThe moment I saw Aria standing at the door, I felt an inexplicable urge to mess with her.She stood there, clearly uneasy, as if she was still trying to convince herself this was a good idea. I smirked, taking advantage of her hesitation.One swift step, and I slammed the door shut behind her. Before she could react, I pulled her into my arms and kissed her—hard.She froze, like I'd struck her with lightning. Her entire body stiffened in my hold. By the time she realized what was happening and tried to resist, I'd already taken my fill—at least for now.I slowly released her, watching her shocked, furious expression. Her chest rose and fell, her eyes wide with disbelief.I couldn't help the mocking smile tugging at my lips. "Didn't you say this was a transaction?" I drawled. "Well, I need to inspect the goods first."She bit her lip, her cheeks flushing crimson. Fury simmered behind her eyes, but she didn't fight back. Instead, she stayed utterly still, like she'd shut off

Three Years, Ten Million

Aria's POVAs soon as he turned and left the room, the tension that had been stretched taut inside me finally began to ease. My legs felt weak beneath me. I bit down hard on my lip and stumbled toward the bathroom.Under the warm cascade of water, my chilled skin began to thaw, along with the lingering ache and heat from where he'd touched me. But the sensation—the memory—clung to me like steam on glass.I had never been touched by a man like that before.And yet I had given in to the heat between us, to a man I barely knew. Worse, I had let myself moan under his touch, unable to contain the waves of desire.But Kane would never be mine—not truly. That realization stung more than it should have.How pathetic.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, repeating silently in my head like a mantra:Don't be afraid. Don't give in. Most importantly, don't fall for him.This is just a transaction. Nothing more.
