Semua Bab Dumped Yesterday, Owned by My ex's Mafia Uncle Today: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Elena's POVThe expensive room I was in felt like a luxurious prison, and my new phone in my hand seemed like shackles, merely giving me an illusion of freedom I thirst for.But I knew for a fact that everything I said and did was being watched. Yet, despite it all, a kind of reckless optimism flickered within me... this small taste of freedom was the reward for my cooperation today.The thought felt cheap and dirty from the start. Like I'm some prostitute waiting for a tip. But I ruthlessly suppressed the shame. This was my job now... My life...I had signed the two contracts. And all those small things I wished for, it's simply a bonus from my boss, a small victory in a battle I was currently losing.The sound of the shower running in the bathroom was my signal. It was already 9:35 PM. My mom probably still wasn't asleep.I had to tell her I wouldn't be able to visit until next week. I got the chance to tell her today when I went to see her, but I just couldn't bring myself to look

Writer's Note:My apologies for the error regarding Adrian and Elena's age difference. They are actually nine years apart. Nicole and Elena are the same age, meaning that while the previous chapter stated Adrian is seven years older than Nicole, the correct age difference is nine years.[Nicole's POV]The moment the call with Lena ended, guilt pinched the back of my neck.Not because I lied, okay, maybe a little because I lied, but mostly because I'd been sitting on the edge of my soft bed, pretending to talk freely… while a half-naked man with olive-green eyes and tattoos that looked like they belonged on the cover of a forbidden novel lounged right beside me.Adrian.Six feet of quiet danger and carved muscle, a walking sin with a V-line so sharp it could qualify as a weapon. Every inch of his arms was covered with ink—intricate patterns intertwined with stark black lines that hinted at something feral, something that didn't belong in polite society. His hair fell slightly over his

Note: This chapter contains erotic content.[Elena’s POV]His suit jacket was gone, his white shirt unbuttoned at the collar, sleeves rolled up to reveal his forearms. His dark brown hair was slightly disheveled, and his impossibly cold, impossibly hot eyes, locked onto me immediately.He looked tired and...dangerous.And absolutely, devastatingly beautiful."You're awake," he said, his voice low and rough."I—I thought you weren't coming back tonight," I stammered.I could smell the whiskey on him as he leaned down to kiss - or rather, nibble - my shoulder.My pulse skipped."Finished the painting?" he asked as he completely slipped off my nightgown.Honestly, if it weren't for his hands groping my breasts, making my body burn, I'd almost think he was discussing business with his partners."Yes." I gasped."Good girl."Those two words shouldn't have affected me the way they did. Shouldn't have made warmth pool low in my belly, shouldn't have made my breath catch.But they did.His han

[Author’s Note: Sorry, since this is Noah's POV, some content may overlap with Elena's part from the chapter 35.]Noah's POVWhen she woke up and saw me, those wide blue eyes went even wider.Good!Let her be surprised.Let her remember that I could show up whenever I wanted, that this villa, this room, this bed—it was all mine.And so was she."Tomorrow. Sunday. My friend Nicole is back in New York. She invited me to meet her at J&M Cafe at eleven."There it was. The request I'd been waiting for.My hand slid between her legs, finding her already wet, already ready for me despite the fear in her eyes.As she explained it to me, I pushed two fingers deep inside her, my thumb finding her clit, rubbing hard enough to make her gasp.The pleasure surged through her—I could feel it in the way her body trembled—but her face fell."Please," she whispered. "I'll do anything."My eyes darkened at that word, my grip on her jaw tightening just slightly.I pulled my fingers out of her, slick with

[Elena's POV]His smile widened slightly, something warm and sad flickering in his eyes."Not yet," he said. "But I hope you will.""Bonjour, LENA!"Nicole's voice burst from behind the tall, handsome stranger, and suddenly she was there, popping her head around his shoulder with that mischievous grin I'd missed so desperately."Surprise!"The espressos nearly slipped from my hands."Nico!"I barely managed to set the cups down on the nearest table before she launched herself at me, pulling me into a crushing hug that knocked the breath out of my lungs.And I broke.Right there in the middle of the café, surrounded by strangers and the stranger who'd given me five hundred dollars and Noah watching from his corner table, I burst into tears.Nicole smelled like expensive French perfume and the vanilla body spray she'd worn since we were thirteen. Her arms around me felt like safety, like home, like everything I'd lost and thought I'd never get back."Oh my God, I missed you so much," sh
