Chapter 40 - Let me show you my Big....Garage

Adriano The drive to Luca’s place is not far. While I am in Billionaires Row in midtown, his penthouse is in the Tribeca Downtown stretch.His building is every bit as impressive as mine but louder.I am sure to Liana, whose eyes round to the size of saucers, it reads as another spoilt rich boy’s extravagance...flashy, excessive, decadent.His penthouse occupies the entire top floor of a glass and steel tower overlooking the city.its floor-to-ceiling windows reflecting wealth, power, and the kind of influence money alone cannot buy. Family money. Blood money.The building doorman Jim recognises me immediately and greets us with deference, and within minutes the private elevator opens directly into Luca’s home. And there he is. Leaning against the marble island like he owns the world. Which, someday, we both just might. His dark eyes flick first to me, sharp and assessing, before landing on Liana. Everything about him changes instantly. His smile turns wicked. “Well,” Luca

Chapter 41 - More Questions than Answers

Adriano The ride up to the Penthouse was silent.Both of us caught up in our own thoughts about what the next few minutes could reveal.The moment the office door closes behind us, the air changes.No more charm.No more games.Only truth.Luca pulls out his phone and dials.Mason answers immediately. “I was waiting.”He puts it on speaker as I step closer.“We're both here..lay it on usl?” Luca says.There’s a pause.Then Mason speaks. “There is a Liana Cooper.”My heart stutters once.“And an Artemis or as you know him..Remi Cooper,” Mason continues. “From Chicago. Registered siblings. Ages and birthdays match the info you sent me.”I exchange a look with Luca.So she exists.She’s real.Relief comes with a breath I didn't realise I was holding.But Mason isn’t finished.“Their parents died just over two years ago,” Mason says. “Car accident. Hit and run.”My stomach tightens.“But,” Mason continues carefully, “I don’t think it was an accident.”Silence fills the office.“Explai

Chapter 42 - Side Wager Anyone???

Liana POV I’m still turning slowly in the middle of Luca’s underground garage, completely overwhelmed, when I see the cousin’s walk out the elevator. I can tell that whatever transpired upstairs, the meeting did not go well. They are both clearly tense and on edge, bodies stiff and jaws locked but Luca recovers first. “So Liana,” he says, spreading his arms wide like a game show host presenting prizes, “have you decided which vehicle you want?” I laugh softly, tucking an errant strand of hair behind my ear. “I did,” I admit. “But it was really hard.” Luca grins like a proud Papa showing off his kids report card. “Understandable. Excellence is a burden.” He says smugly. I glance between the rows of cars… and then to the motorcycles. My heart is torn between what I know and a Dream Car. Besides, Remi would kill me if I experienced the car without him. I bite my lip flitting between my choices and suddenly, an idea sparks. A dangerous one. A fun one. I look back at Luca, ti

Chapter 43 - Beauty on a Beast

I made a beeline towards my choice while both the guys are still trying to tamp down their shock. I run my hand slowly along the matte black frame of the MTT 420RR.She’s beautiful.Lethal.Perfect.“I’ll take this one,” I say calmly, all girly sweetnessI fawn breathily...“She is soooo pretty.”Silence. A roll of eyes.Typical masculine exasperation.Then—“Absolutely not,” Adriano says immediately.Luca just stares at me.“Do you want to… reconsider?” he asks carefully.I look back at them innocently.“Why? I like this one and she really is so gorgeous”Adriano swears under his breath. Luca runs a hand down his face.“That,” he says slowly, as if explaining to a slow child “might look like a supermodel but it is not a beginner bike.”I tilt my head as if considering his words, then shake it.“Nope this one. I like her, if I had a leather outfit, I could be like Batgirl.” I say all breathy and pouty.Adriano exhales sharply. Luca is just plain stumped for words.“Liana—” Adriano sta

Chapter 44 - Vroom Vroom Kaboom

Liana The engine hums beneath me like a living thing. No. Not hums. Breathes. The MTT 420RR vibrates between my thighs, powerful and impatient, and I swear she recognizes me, is purring just for me. The weight. The balance. The promise of violence if mishandled. I take a deep breath, stilling my hammering heart and lower my visor. Across from me, Luca leans forward over his Ducati Panigale V4 R, red and lethal, like it was forged in Italy purely to break hearts and speed limits. Adriano sits astride the BMW M 1000 RR, all black aggression and German precision. He doesn’t look thrilled, but I know he is ready. His form is tense, muscles bunching. He looks like he’s preparing for war. “Last chance to back out,” Luca calls over the engines. I don’t even turn, just rev once in response. Adriano shakes his head slowly. “Stay behind me,” he says sternly, like I’ll actually listen. I grin inside my helmet. We line up at the empty stretch of highway just outside the in

Chapter 45 - King of an Empty Castle

LiamThe Greeks were supposed to be predictable, this deal was supposed to be sealed, in the bag.Greedy. Calculated. Always looking to undercut but they caved to Adriano at the Venetian.Yet here I am, staring at the quarterly projections on the wall of my office, watching red bleed across territory that should have been ours.“The Italians undercut us,” Ronan says evenly from across the table. “Or intimidated them. He has the port officials and Government contacts for that kind of pull”I lean back slowly in my chair, steepling my fingers.“No,” I say quietly. “They didn’t just intimidate the Greeks, they outplayed us .”Ronan’s jaw tightens.The fucking Italians. Moretti seniors controlling New York and Adriano and Luca in Manhatten.First the ports. Then the shipping routes. Now the Greek deal.My office is silent except for the soft hum of the air conditioning and the distant echo of boots in the hallway. The walls are dark wood. Heavy. Oppressive. Haven’t changed a thing since

Chapter 46 - The Placeholder

A soft knock interrupts my thoughts. I don’t look up from the screen.“Come in.” I say.Maddie steps inside.Small. Nervous. Barely twenty.Her grandmother has worked in this house for two decades. When she got sick, Maddie stepped in.I took one look at the petite submissive thing and I decided to keep her. Made her dye her light hair chocolate brown. Made her dump her high school sweetheart.She stands just inside the door, hands trembling slightly.“You called for me, sir?”Her fear is obvious. Palpable. It fills the room like a scent, a too sweet decaying smell.I look at her for a long moment. She avoids my eyes.Good.“Lock the door,” I tell her.She hesitates. Then obeys. She moves closer when I gesture. Not because she wants to. Because she knows what happens if she doesn’t.I tilt her chin up to look into her pretty big brown eyes. She flinches. I smile faintly, tapping her cheek.“You should be grateful,” I murmur. “You live very comfortably here.”Her throat bobs. “Yes

Chapter 47 - First Strike

Adriano I wake up, the high of yesterday’s race still flowing in my blood.The image of Liana cutting that corner plays in my head like a slow-motion replay. The lean. The precision. The way she waited—calculated—before striking.God.I’ve never been so simultaneously terrified and impressed in my life. Or hard for that matter, I think as I stroke my morning wood over my boxers.For a moment, I just lie there staring at the ceiling, a slow grin pulling at my mouth.Then I remember something else.She needs clothes.Proper ones. More than the few things she has. If she’s staying—if she’s with me—she shouldn’t feel like a guest living out of a suitcase.And after yesterday?She deserves something nice.Shopping.Then lunch.The Botanical Gardens are quiet during off season. Private paths. Shade. A place where she can breathe without eyes on her.A normal day.For once.The thought settles something inside me.I get up and head straight for her room.I don’t knock.I open the door quie

Chapter 48 - You Took my Heart and Ran

Liam Ronan doesn’t knock.He knows better. Has been both my best friend and second too long for formalities between us.He steps into my office with the controlled calm of a man who understands the value of timing.“It’s done,” he says.I don’t look up immediately. I finish signing the document in front of me, set the pen down precisely, then lift my eyes to him.“Report.”“The warehouse was hit at 03:17 this morning. Clean entry. Accelerants placed in the east wing. Secondary explosions triggered when the ammo stock caught.”Efficient.Disciplined.I nod once. “Casualties?”“Two guards. Dead. One floor worker with serious injuries.”Acceptable.A slow smile pulls at my mouth.“Significant damage?”“Yes.”“Good.” Very good.The Italians pride themselves on strength. Stability. Control.Nothing rattles buyer confidence like vulnerability.The Greeks will hear about it.The Mexicans will hear about it.Shipments will run late while they scrabble to replace stock. New buyers and fe

Chapter 49 - Finders Keepers

Liam (Flashback 14 years ago)I was eleven the first time I saw her.It might sound young but I was already my Father’s shadow. Already learning how to rule his Empire.So I was old enough to understand blood.Old enough to understand power.Old enough to recognize when something shifts the balance of a house forever.My father—Seamus—had taken Remi to his cardiologist appointment that morning. Constant check-ups required until his surgery in a year or two.Remi had always been fragile. Weak heart. Weak lungs. Weak everything.The golden child wrapped in caution. Had his own fucking medical wing. Doctors and nurses came to the house.I had stayed behind.I remember being irritated about it. But at least I got to spend quality time with mom without the other two.Then the call came when they were on the way home.Siobhan. His wife's best friend. More like sisters.Screaming. Hysterical. "Don, please help.."Telling him she and the kids were locked in the bedroom.Niall was high a
