The Start Of War

Julian’s POV“Where the fuck is she?!”My voice echoed through the sprawling penthouse like a gunshot. I stormed forward, fists clenched so tight my knuckles cracked. Selene sat there on her pristine white sofa, legs crossed elegantly, that signature smirk playing on her lips like this was all some amusing game.She took a slow sip of her wine, completely unbothered. “Julian, darling. You’re going to have to be more specific. Where is who?”“Don’t play dumb with me, Selene!” I roared, closing the distance between us. “Lia is gone. Her suitcase was dumped in the hallway. Her phone is switched off. She was supposed to meet me ten minutes ago so we could leave the country. Now tell me what the hell you did with her!”Selene arched a perfectly groomed eyebrow, setting her glass down on the marble table with a soft clink. “Lia’s missing? Oh no… how tragic.” Her tone dripped with sarcasm. “And you immediately assume I had something to do with it? That’s rather insulting.”I laughed bitterly

Tangled Vows

Lia’s POVI lay in the big soft bed, my body still warm and tired from what we had just done. The silk sheets felt cool against my skin. The room was quiet except for our breathing. Kade’s strong arm rested across my waist, holding me close. His chest pressed against my back. I could smell his cologne – dark and woody.My mind would not stay quiet. I turned around in his arms so I could look at his face. His grey eyes watched me. They looked serious.“Why won’t you let me go?” I asked softly. My voice was still a little rough. “You are supposed to marry Selene. Your families have planned it for years. But you kidnapped me from the docks before I could leave with Julian. What is your plan, Kade? Keep me hidden here forever?”Kade did not speak at first. His fingers moved slowly down my back. It sent small shivers through me. He looked at me like he was thinking hard about what to say.“I am not marrying Selene,” he said in a calm, strong voice.I sat up quickly. The sheet fell to my wa

When Love Hates

Lia’s POVKade stepped in wearing only black sweatpants. His broad chest, strong arms, and messy dark hair made my heart race. He looked powerful and hungry.“You’re awake,” he said. His grey eyes moved slowly over my body. “Good.”He crossed the room in two steps and pulled me into his arms. His skin was warm. He kissed my neck, then my lips, hard and deep. Heat flooded my body.“Kade… we should talk,” I whispered.“Later,” he growled against my mouth.He lifted me like I weighed nothing and carried me straight into the huge bathroom, my heart pounding wildly. Hot water poured from the massive showerhead the moment he turned it on, filling the space with steam. He set me on my feet and the sheet slipped off my body, pooling at my ankles. Before I could even catch my breath, Kade pushed me back against the cool tiles, his mouth claiming mine in a deep, hungry kiss that left me dizzy.His hands were everywhere at once, sliding over my wet skin with raw need. He cupped my breasts, his

No Way Out

Kade’s POV “Open up, this is the police, open the damn door right now or we’re breaking it down,” the voice shouted from outside, loud and aggressive, followed by heavy banging that echoed through the entire safe house. My blood ran hot as I moved fast, heart pounding but my mind staying ice cold because I knew exactly who was behind this sudden visit. Selene. That treacherous woman had finally made her move, dragging the police into our world like she thought she could trap me. I wasn’t about to let that happen. Not today, not ever. “Damon,” I called sharply, my voice low but urgent as I burst into the bedroom where Lia was still sitting on the edge of the bed, looking startled and a little scared after everything that had happened between us. “We’ve got company. Police at the front, and I’m sure Selene is right there with them. Take Lia out through the hidden passage behind the study, get her to the second car and drive her to the east cabin, don’t stop for anything.” Damon a

IMPOSSIBLE CHOICES

Lia’s POVThe drive to the east cabin passed in a blur of dark trees and winding back roads, my heart still racing from the sudden chaos at the safe house and the way Kade had kissed me like the world was ending right before Damon pulled me away. When we finally arrived, Damon parked the car deep inside the attached garage. He led me quickly into the cabin, which turned out to be a surprisingly cozy but heavily secured place hidden among thick woods, far from any main roads.“Stay inside, Lia, no matter what you hear or see,” Damon said firmly as soon as we stepped into the living room, his eyes serious and watchful. “Lock the doors, keep the lights low if you need to, and do not go outside for anything. I have to head back now to check on Kade and make sure the police situation is really over. He’ll come for you as soon as it’s safe.”I nodded quickly, still trying to catch my breath from everything that had happened. “I’ll stay right here, I promise, Damon. I won’t move. Just… Plea

Broken Chains

Kade’s POV“What…” Her face twisted with pure fury and disbelief as she spun towards me. “What the fuck did you just say?”I stood there calm on the outside, arms still crossed over my chest, watching the way her perfectly made-up face cracked right in front of me. The police had barely driven off, and the silence in the safe house felt heavier now, as if the air itself were waiting for what would happen next.For a second she just stared at me, then suddenly threw her head back and laughed, sharp and loud like I had told the funniest joke in the world. She wiped at the corner of her eye, still chuckling as she stepped closer. “Oh please, Kade, you almost had me there. Good one. Now stop playing around and tell me what you really mean because we both know you can’t just call off this wedding.”“I’m not joking, Selene.” I shot back coldly. “The wedding is cancelled because this alliance can go to hell for all I care. I want you out of my life.”Her laughter died instantly. The smile

The Proposal

Lia’s POVI tried calling Kade again, my fingers shaking as I pressed his name on the screen, but the line just kept ringing busy, over and over like the universe itself was blocking me from reaching him. I stared at the phone for a long moment, tears already burning in my eyes because I knew time was running out and Julian wasn’t going to wait forever. My chest felt so tight it was hard to breathe. If I stayed here, if I waited for Kade to come back, Julian would release that recording and destroy him. I couldn’t let that happen, not to Kade, not because of me.The only way to protect him now was to go back.I wiped my face quickly and looked around the quiet cabin, my heart breaking into pieces as I grabbed a small piece of paper and a pen from the drawer. My hand trembled while I wrote, keeping it short because I knew if I wrote too much I wouldn’t be able to leave.Kade, I’m sorry. I have to do this to protect you. Please forgive me. LiaI left the note right in the middle of

THE RING AND THE CHAINS

Lia’s POVI stared down at Julian on one knee, the diamond ring catching the light and sparkling like it was mocking me. My mouth went dry, and my heart started hammering so hard I felt dizzy. “What… What are you doing, Julian?” I whispered, my voice shaking. “Why are you proposing right now, like this, what are you trying to do?”He looked up at me with those intense eyes, a mix of love and something darker I couldn’t quite name. “I want you to spend the rest of your life with me, Lia. No more running, no more Kade, no more back and forth. Marrying me is the only way I’ll keep that recording buried forever. Say yes and Kade stays free. Say no and I will send everything to the authorities before morning.”My knees felt weak. I was completely torn apart inside, my mind spinning between the man kneeling in front of me and the one I had left behind in that cabin with only a short note. Kade’s face kept flashing in my head, his possessive touch, the way he had kissed me like I was his w

PLAYING THE PART

Lia’s POVHis hands moved over me with urgency, sliding down my sides and tugging at the hem of my shirt as he kissed me harder, deeper, like he was afraid I might disappear again. He pulled the fabric over my head in one quick motion and tossed it aside, his mouth immediately moving to my neck, sucking and biting gently while his fingers worked on the button of my jeans.I made a decision right then. If I was going to survive this, if I was going to protect Kade and maybe find a way out later, I had to make Julian believe I was fully his. I had to play along as if I had finally chosen him, like my heart was no longer torn. So I let my body relax under his touch, I slid my hands up his chest and pulled him closer, pretending with everything I had.“Julian,” I whispered, letting my voice sound needy, “I’m here… I’m really yours now.”He paused for a second, surprised by my sudden submission, but then a pleased groan left his throat and he kissed me even harder. I kissed him back as I

THE NOTE

Kade’s POVThe drive to the east cabin felt longer than it should have, my mind racing the whole way with thoughts of Lia and everything that had happened today. After dealing with Selene and the police, all I wanted was to wrap her in my arms, feel her against me, and remind her that she was safe now, that I would burn the whole world down before I let anyone take her again. The memory of our last kiss kept replaying in my head, the way she had clung to me like she never wanted to let go, and it made my chest feel warm for the first time in hours.I pulled up to the cabin, killed the engine, and stepped out quickly, already calling her name as I unlocked the door. “Lia? Baby, I’m back.”I moved through the living room fast, checking the kitchen, then the bedroom. Nothing. The bed was untouched, and her things weren’t scattered around as I expected. My chest tightened as I checked every room twice. She wasn’t here.That was when my eyes landed on the small folded note sitting in the
