A Contract For Revenge FOTRY
KIERA’S POVThe night was still young, and the vodka was flowing like it was going out of style. Gabriel kept pouring himself another shot, and I couldn’t help but tease him.“Are you trying to become the world’s first human vodka balloon?” I joked, nudging his arm. “I mean, at this rate, you’ll float away.”He chuckled lightly, “You underestimate my ability to handle my liquor. I’m practically a professional.”“Oh sure, because we all know that getting hammered at the beach is a sign of high-class behavior,” I shot back, rolling my eyes.“Hey, I’m making memories here!” He exclaimed, waving his arms dramatically. “Life’s too short not to enjoy a little chaos.”“Right, and what kind of memories? The kind that involves you face-planting into the sand?” I laughed, but part of me loved this carefree side of him.With each shot, I watched as his usually sharp gaze softened and his laughter grew louder. There was something infectious about his buzz, and I felt myself getting swept up in it
A Contract For Revenge FORTY-ONE
KIERA’S POVI had finished packing my luggage and was ready to leave, just waiting for the green light from Almighty Gabriel. But I couldn’t shake the feeling of frustration over his delays. Still seething about what happened earlier, I didn’t want to talk to him, so I sat quietly, scrolling through my phone and checking the time.After about five minutes, I decided to go and check on him. I got to his door and it was slightly ajar. Peeping in, I saw his valise already packed on the bed, and I peered further only to find him on a call, his back turned toward me.Curiosity kills the cat, but since I’m not a cat, a little eavesdropping wouldn’t kill me, right?Leaning in, my ears raced faster than my heart as I tried to piece together his conversation.“I hate to be questioned,” he roared.Whoever he was talking to wasn’t getting an easy ride, that I was sure of.“There’s nothing going on between Kiera and I. She’s just a friend, nothing more. Whatever you think is going on between she
A Contract For Revenge FORTY-TWO
KIERA’S POVThe private jet felt like a prison. I sat as far from Gabriel as possible, my eyes glued on my phone as I pretended to be engrossed in it. I just wanted him out of my sight completely.His phone rang nonstop, each tone sending a jolt through me. I sighed heavily, wishing I could vanish. It had to be the woman he spoke with earlier because the way he kept glancing at the screen and then staring back at me felt suspicious.The ringing eventually ceased, and about five minutes later, his phone rang again. Pardon me if I felt a strong urge to grab the goddamn phone and toss it out the window because it was becoming irritating.This time, he answered the call, and I caught the mention of Lewis’s name. From his tone, it was clear Lewis was discussing Mark’s case. I lifted my eyes slightly and noticed his brows furrow.“Abuela wants to meet with you again?” He asked, his tone sharp.After he hung up, he got on his feet and strolled towards me. I pinned my eyes to my phone still f
A Contract For Revenge FORTY-THREE
ELISE’S POVThe door creaked open, and Miguel stepped into the room, his mood as damp as the clouds outside. He looked like a storm ready to burst. I put down the book I wasn’t really reading, suddenly aware of the tension hanging in the air.“Where have you been the past few days?” I asked, trying to keep my tone light, though a thread of genuine curiosity wove through my words.He shrugged, a dismissive gesture that felt like ice against my skin, “That’s none of your business, Elise.”I blinked, taken aback. My heart dropped a little, but I quickly masked it with a smile. The last thing I wanted was for him to see how his words stung. Instead, I feigned nonchalance, picking up the book again.“Have you heard about Kiera?” He asked, his voice heavy with grief.I pressed my lips together, pretending to be clueless, “No... What about her?”“She’s gone,” he said, staring at the floor.“What do you mean by that?” I asked, my brows knitting together.“Kiera’s dead,” he said flatly, his ja
A Contract For Revenge FORTY-FOUR
GABRIEL’S POVI felt horrible because I remembered everything. The memories of last night clawed at my mind like a relentless beast. The warmth of her body against mine, the comfort I felt when she rested her head on my chest—every single detail was etched into my soul.When I said I didn’t want to forget that moment, I was dead serious.I couldn’t tell if I was protecting her heart or mine by pretending not to remember anything. The truth is, I don’t know if I was capable of giving her what she truly deserves.My actions hurt her deeply, and I could feel it even from a distance.For a fact, I feel an undeniable pull toward her, and I can’t disregard the way my heart thumps harder, every time she’s near me. But admitting that I felt that way? That’s a different story.Her anger radiated like heat from a fire, palpable and intense, from the moment she stormed out of my room until we reached home. The silence loomed between us, thick and suffocating, wrapping around us like a shroud. Sh
A Contract For Revenge FORTY-FIVE
KIERA’S POVI woke up feeling surprisingly rejuvenated. Apparently, a solid night’s sleep does wonders for the soul. The anger I was nursing over Gabriel had dulled to a mild irritation, like a mosquito bite.I decided right then, no more expectations. I’d step up as the fake fiancé he needed—no strings, no complications. But then there was Damien. His confession lingered like a sweet poison in my mind, his desires, pulling me like a tide. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t drawn to him, but allowing myself to trust his words and open my heart to him? That would take more than just words, especially after what he did.Just as I finished up in the bathroom, my phone buzzed, and a message from Gabriel flashed on the screen.[Please get dressed. Marco's waiting to bring you to the office]Oh, great! He still thinks I’m fuming. Why else would he send Marco instead of picking me up himself? Classic Gabriel, always dodging the bullet. I rolled my eyes, shaking my head as I dropped my phone.I
A Contract For Revenge FORTY-SIX
GABRIEL’S POVSure, I told myself Damien could have Kiera. But damn, I didn’t realize how much that would eat at me. Something about it drove me crazy—jealousy, maybe? I was fuming at Kiera, and deep down, I knew I was being unfair. I’d drawn the line and made it crystal clear that nothing could ever happen between us.I spent the whole night wrestling with my thoughts, sleep evading me like a ghost. When the clock finally struck 6 am, I tore myself out of bed, hit the shower, and headed to the office.I craved solitude. I didn’t want anyone bothering me, especially Kiera. So, I decided to give her a space of her own.Part of me longed to have her close, while another part screamed for her to stay far away because there was still an ache in my heart that couldn’t die down no matter how hard I tried. The thought of her with Damien was stinging asf.I needed a distraction desperately. Something to take my mind off everything. So, I went for the perfect one, Linda. I thought perhaps f*ck
A Contract For Revenge FORTY-SEVEN
KIERA'S POVI felt like a spectator caught in a storm. Gabriel and Damien were locked in a heated argument, their voices rising and falling like waves crashing against the shore. It was clear that the tension between them ran deeper than mere sibling rivalry; it was complex.When Gabriel jabbed at Damien for defending me, my brows shot up at his remark about what Damien would do next. It was undeniable that he was the one at the door yesterday. But why was he so upset? I thought he wanted nothing to do with me.Then came the question that left me utterly speechless.“What will it be then? Will you be my PA or not?” Gabriel asked, his expression as cold as death.My tongue felt locked, and my eyes darted between them. I sensed Damien’s silent disapproval, but there seemed to be more to Gabriel’s offer. Why was he making me his PA right after I caught him with Linda?Just as I was about to speak, the door swung open, and Lewis barged in.Thank God! Even if it was just a temporary save,
