KIERA’S POVAs I followed Linda to the kitchen, I marveled at the space. It was too luxurious for an office—marble countertops, sleek stainless steel appliances, and an air filled with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee. But the atmosphere felt tense, like a storm waiting to break.Linda glanced at me, a smug smirk playing on her lips.“You sure you can handle making coffee? It requires a level of skill I’m not sure you possess,” she said, sarcasm dripping from her voice.I forced a smile, choosing to ignore the jab, “I appreciate your concern, but I think I’ll manage.”Linda leaned closer, lowering her voice as if sharing a scandalous secret. “Just remember, this isn’t your playground. You’re stepping into a world of real professionals.”My jaw tightened, but I maintained my composure, “Funny, you’d think a ‘real professional’ would encourage teamwork rather than throwing shade.”Linda’s eyes narrowed, “You think you can just waltz in here because you’re Gabriel’s what? His pet?

ELISE’S POVI got back from shopping right on time for dinner.“Where’s my husband?” I asked, throwing a look at Joe.“He’s in the dining room ma’am,” Joe responded.Perfect! What better opportunity to bond with my husband than over some delicious food? I had so much I wanted to discuss with him.Miguel was already munching on his food when I entered the dining room, my shopping bags dangling on my arm.“Hey, babe,” I called out, trying to inject some warmth into my voice. “I had the most amazing day ever,” I said, attempting to spark a conversation, but silence wrapped us like a thick fog, and it stung even more when he didn’t look up.I dropped the shopping bags onto a nearby chair, the sound echoing like a gunshot in the stillness.“Take these to my room,” I instructed Hannah, one of the maids.“Are you really gonna ignore me?” I pressed, my pulse quickening. “I thought we could chat over dinner,” I said, slumping onto the seat beside him.“Not now, Elise,” he muttered, his voice l

GABRIEL’S POVThe flight lasted two hours, the hum of the engines a dull backdrop to the storm brewing in the cabin. Kiera had been uncharacteristically quiet, her glare fixed on the window, as if the world outside could offer her some refuge from whatever was nagging at her.I was sure it had to do with what she asked me earlier, but I wasn’t sorry for confronting Damien. I didn’t like the idea of him lurking around her and seeing her as his next meal. He does more harm than good to women.With the two of us alone, no guards, no distractions, I felt the weight of unspoken words between us.As the private jet touched down in Marion City, I could see the sprawling lights of the city twinkling like stars. We were greeted by a sleek black Porsche, and taken straight to Ibiza Hotel, just a stone throw from the beach. However fun was the last thing on my mind.Linda had made prior reservations, booking two rooms, Kiera’s directly opposite to mine.“Freshen up and meet me in my room. I need
A Contract For Revenge THIRTY-FOUR
KIERA’S POVThe venue of the meeting was a rooftop restaurant exclusively for people who have money pouring from their pockets. I would have much rather stayed back at the hotel, but Gabriel wouldn’t take no for an answer.While we waited for his business partners, we were served a bottle of Gout de Diamant champagne, but neither of us even reached for it.The last 48 hours had been a whirlwind, and I was barely trying to keep my head above water.Having that conversation with Gabriel yesterday lifted a bit of the weight that sat in my heart. I just wanted him to know that I appreciate all he had done for me, nothing more. I had already steeled myself not to be emotionally attached to them. Although I still feel a tad nervous around Gabriel, I will gradually overcome it, and see him as nothing but a friend.I've been so worried about my Papa, and I really wish I could go see him. That’s what I wanted to say to Gabriel yesterday, but he cut me off before I could get it out. I didn’t wa

ELISE’S POVI had just finished having lunch, and I casually strolled to the bedroom, trying to shake off the feeling of emptiness that lingered. It was becoming a habit for Miguel to skip not just dinner with me but lunch, too. For the last two days, he had chosen to sleep in another room, and I felt a growing sense of devastation creeping in.As I stepped into the room, I locked the door behind me and walked to the bed, feeling a wave of loneliness settling in like an unwanted guest.Listening to my body, my little button down there was restless, craving to get satisfied. I swept my dress off my body, laying bare on the bed, as I slightly arched my back, spreading my legs wide apart.Dipping a finger in my mouth, I snaked it down my belly, until it rested on my cl*t. I start rubbing my cl*t gently, taking in all the pleasure little by little, and a shaky breath stuttered across my lips. My body felt hot as I cupped my b**b with my other hand, catching my nipple between my index and

GABRIEL’S POV“I assigned Lewis to represent the company in court regarding Mark’s case,” Damien conveyed through the phone.“Good, I trust Lewis to handle it perfectly. Mark messed with the wrong people and the son of a b*tch will pay dearly for swiping from the company,” I responded, keeping an eye on the road for any sign of Kiera.“Oh and by the way, Elise texted Caleb’s phone,” he added.“And?”“Well, I couldn’t just leave it hanging. She called a few times, and I ignored them, but then she texted. I didn’t want to raise any suspicions, so I replied as Caleb, saying I was out of town for some family stuff,” he explained.“Solid move. Let her keep thinking that she has the upper hand.”“Were you able to get Mr. Gavin to sign the contract?” Damien inquired.“I don’t know. Kiera’s been in there for almost an hour and I have no idea what’s going on,” I blurted out before realizing.I guess I was so nervous that I couldn’t mask it any longer.“What do you mean Kiera’s been in there fo
A Contract For Revenge THIRTY-SEVEN
GABRIEL’S POVI excused myself from the loud-blasting speakers to take a call from Linda. She was being annoyingly persistent, bombarding me with irrelevant questions and I ended the call without warning. I was in no mood for her shenanigans. Linda was breaking the one rule I put in place before we got involved—no meddling in each other’s affairs and gradually, it’s getting freaking irritating.As I went back into the club, I saw a cocky guy seated face to face with Kiera, his hand, slightly touching her thighs like he owned her, and my head almost exploded. I should have known better than to leave her alone.Who the hell does he think he is to lay his goddamn hands on her?“Hey!” I thundered, striding over, my voice slicing through the chaos. “Get your f*cking hands off her.”Kiera turned, surprise etched across her face, but I didn’t care. The guy’s smirk faltered as he flicked his gaze between us.“Relax, bro. We’re just talking,” he replied, trying to brush me off.“No, you weren’

MIGUEL’S POVAfter meeting with our inside guy, he confirmed that the shipment was indeed in the custody of Don Pablo. For almost a week, we've been planning on how to get back our shipment from the South Coast cartels—one of the deadliest.Joe wasn’t present, I guess he was still on Kiera’s assignment.The dim light of the basement flickered ominously, casting long shadows across the cluttered table at the center of the room. Papers lay scattered, weapons glinting in the low light, and half-empty glasses sat like forgotten sentinels. I leaned over the map, the weight of our situation pressing down on me.Don Pablo wasn’t playing nice, and I wouldn’t let him get away with it. I could feel my heart pounding, anger running in my veins for the fool he tried to make out of me.“The shipment is ours for the taking,” I said, my fingers tracing the route to the docks.Javier’s voice cut through, “What about Joe? We can’t commence without him.”I waved a hand dismissively, “We’ll fill him whe
