All Chapters of A contract with the ruthless mafia billionaire : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Lia’s POV“I’ll do it,” I whispered.The words leaving my mouth before I could even think them through. My heart was pounding in my chest as I stepped forward, holding out my trembling hands like I was offering them to the devil himself.Kade’s eyes dropped to my hands, slowly rising to meet mine. A sly smirk tugged at his lips again, this time colder, confident, and calculating.“Are you sure?” he asked, his voice a low murmur that somehow filled the entire room. “I’ll do anything to save my brother,” I breathed. “Just…please spare his life.”He gripped my arm, engulfing my fingers like steel. And it dawned on me in that moment that I had just sealed something far darker than a deal. I have sold myself to him, my body, mind, and soul.Kade didn’t let go. Instead, he pulled me closer even more, his eyes raking over me with an intensity that made my skin crawl. “Good girl,” he whispered, brushing a thumb over the back of my hand before finally releasing me.“You’re mine now, little pri

Lia’s POV“Lia, meet Selene Blackwell,” Kade said, stepping forward, unfazed, his voice calm like always. Selene? Even her name sounded like silk wrapped around a blade. “She’s my ex-fiancée,” he added, then after what felt like an intentional pause. “And my business partner.”Business partner?What kind of ex sticks around to still keep a professional reputation with the man who used to screw her? But Selene didn’t spare me another glance, she turned to Kade, arms crossed.Her posture was flawless as was her face. “You’re slipping, aren’t you? I mean…she doesn’t look like your type at all…” I stepped closer to her, anger surging through me like a wildfire.“I’m not a toy, Miss Selene. And certainly not his.” I snapped, my voice harsher than I intended. “And I sure as hell am not his type either.”That made her pause briefly, turning her head slowly, almost as if she couldn’t believe I had spoken. Her eyes finally settled on me…cold, calculating, and dripping with hate.“You’re right

Lia’s POV“You fucking bastard!” My voice cracked, my throat raw. “We had a deal, Kade!” He didn’t flinch. Didn’t even look at me, he just kept staring at Noah's frozen frame on his phone like it was nothing. I moved closer, my hands shaking so hard I almost hit him without meaning to. “You swore to me! You swore my brother would be safe once I made the deal…” his eyes finally met mine, cold and sharp as glass. “I promised to spare his life, Lia. Not that he would be untouched.”“You think this is some kind of joke?!” My voice rose, bouncing off the dark walls of the room. “He’s been tortured, Kade! They’re going to kill him!”His jaw tightened, so much that I could see the bones on his face. “Not if you do exactly what I tell you.”That..That was it….Something inside me snapped, hot and violent as I shoved him hard in the chest. “You son of a…” My fist slammed against his chest again. “You’re a monster! Slamming him hard again, my palms burning.“I hate you! I…”Smack.My hand be

Lia’s POVHe stood at the door.Kade.His suit jacket was gone this time, his shirt wrinkled and half-unbuttoned, the white fabric stained beside the collar. His hair was messy, as if he had run his hands through it many times.But it was his eyes… that glued me to a place. Then the smell hit me next: whiskey. It was strong and sharp, clinging to him like a second skin. Kade stood in the frame, his face shadowed, but his rage was unmistakable.His jaw clenched, hands balled into fists at his sides. Something inside him had snapped. “Get up,” he commanded, his voice low and cruel. This wasn't the calm, controlled Kade I’d known, this was something else…something dangerous.I didn’t move, rather my legs refused to.“Lia!” He barked, “Get the fuck up.” The sound echoed off the walls as he stepped inside, closing the door with a slam that made me flinch. “I said, get up.”I stood up slowly, my palms pressed against the wall to steady myself. My pulse is pounding loudly in my ears. He clos

Lia’s POVI was still curled on the bed, my muscles heavy. The ache along my wrists from where his belt had bitten into my skin, the heat that had burned across my cheek when his temper had snapped….it was all still there, stitched into my body like fresh bruises.Sleep had eluded me, every time I closed my eyes I saw his face from last night. Cold..unyielding. I was still caught up in the haze when the door slammed open so hard it shook the hinges.Kade stood at the doorway like a shadow blocking out the light—his broad shoulders, those dark eyes raging like a storm that had finally landed. He didn’t speak. He didn’t need to.He moved fast in three strides, the floorboards creaking under his boots…and suddenly towering over me. Before I could even push myself upright he gripped my wrists tightly, forcing me upright in an instant.“Your phone.” He growled, his voice low and dangerous. The kind of tone that didn’t even rise when it was angry..it just cut deeper. My fingers moved on ins
