I don’t trust Owen. Not yet. Not after everything Levi and I have been through. But right now, trust doesn’t matter. Survival does. And Owen? He might be the only shot we have at getting back on our feet. So for now, we drive. The old sedan rattles down the highway, headlights slicing through the dark. Owen sits in the backseat, arms crossed, watching the road like he expects something to jump out at us. Levi drives. I sit in the passenger seat, gun in my lap, fingers tapping against my thigh. No one talks. Not until Owen exhales, shifting slightly. “So. You two gonna tell me why you’re really out here?” Levi doesn’t respond. I glance back at Owen, raising a brow. “You first.” Owen smirks. “I already told you. I pissed off the wrong guys.” Levi speaks without looking away from the road. “And yet, you seem awfully calm about it.” Owen leans back, stretching his legs. “Would freaking out change anything?” I narrow my eyes. “Depends. Are you actually

There’s a moment, just before we step out of the bar, where I wonder if we’ve finally crossed a line we can’t come back from. Not because of anything. But because this time, we didn’t hesitate. Levi walks ahead, shoulders squared, hands in his pockets, and Owen follows at a leisurely pace like we didn’t just agree to murder a man for favors. I exhale, flexing my fingers. No second thoughts. No looking back. We made the deal. Now we see it through. Outside, the cold night air presses against my skin, heavy with the smell of damp pavement and pine. The streets are quiet, the town barely awake, and for a second, it almost feels like the world is holding its breath. Waiting. Levi doesn’t stop walking. “Where’s Briggs?” Owen pulls a cigarette from his pocket, tucking it between his lips. “Got a place just outside town. Runs his shit out of an old motel—Red Pines Lodge. Seedy little joint, but it works for him.” Levi doesn’t react, but I catch the way his fingers twitch

The problem with killing for favors is that it never stops at one. It’s a lesson I should’ve learned by now. Finn wanted Briggs dead. We delivered. And in return, we got what we needed—money, weapons, a new car. But just when I thought we could disappear again, something changes. Finn calls in another favor. And this time, the stakes are higher. We’re still here. Still in Red Pines.Too long. Way too long. Levi and I sit in the stolen sedan, parked outside an abandoned motel, the engine off, the streetlights flickering. The kind of place that smells like mildew and regret. Owen is in the backseat, flipping a knife between his fingers, the metal catching the dull glow from outside. He’s been quiet ever since we left the bar, and I don’t trust quiet people. Especially not ones who owe favors. Levi finally speaks. “Spit it out.” Owen glances up. “What?” “You’ve been sulking ever since Finn made that call.” Levi tilts his head, his voice low, steady. “What aren’t

Jonah Carver sits in the back of the car, arms zip-tied behind him, blood trickling from his split lip. He hasn’t said a word since we took him. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Levi drives, eyes locked on the road, his expression unreadable. Owen sits in the backseat beside Carver, twirling his knife like he’s bored, but I know better. He’s testing him. Pushing him. Waiting for him to break. I cross my arms. "So what do we do with him?" Levi exhales, his grip tightening on the wheel. "We figure out how much he knows." Carver finally speaks, his voice rough. "You’re making a mistake." I tilt my head. "And you’re stating the obvious." Carver smirks, blood staining his teeth. "You think killing me is gonna solve your problems?" He chuckles darkly. "You have no idea what’s coming." Owen hums, tapping the flat of his knife against his knee. "See, that’s the problem with guys like you. Always so cryptic. Why don’t you just say it?" Carver’s smir

We are officially making a deal with the devil. And I’m the one who suggested it. Which means if this goes wrong, if Matteo sees through our plan, if we fail, it’s on me. I can feel Levi’s tension beside me as we drive. His grip on the wheel is too tight, his jaw locked, his silence sharp enough to cut. He hasn’t said much since we decided on this plan, but he doesn’t have to. I know exactly what he’s thinking. This is a mistake. But it’s a mistake we have to make. Because if we don’t, we’ll be running for the rest of our lives. And I’m tired of running. The first step is arranging the meeting. Matteo gave us instructions—an old factory on the outskirts of the city, midnight. Classic intimidation tactics. It’s not about the location. It’s about control. It’s about making us feel small. But we aren’t small. And we sure as hell aren’t scared. Owen sits in the backseat, tapping his knife against his knee, the rhythmic click of metal against fabric grating agai

I thought Matteo Rosetti wanted us dead. Turns out, he wants something worse. He wants us working for him. Levi and I stand in the dimly lit warehouse, the red sniper dot still hovering over his chest, guards flanking Matteo, Carver standing off to the side looking smug as hell. Everything about this screams trap. And yet— I can’t ignore the way Matteo watches us. Like he knows we’ll say yes. Like he thinks we don’t have a choice. And maybe we don’t. Matteo steps forward, adjusting the cuffs of his suit, completely at ease, like we aren’t seconds away from putting bullets in each other. "Here’s how this is going to work," he says smoothly. "You two are going to stop running. You’re going to stop playing rebels without a cause. And you’re going to listen." Levi doesn’t move. I barely breathe. Matteo exhales, like this is so tedious for him. "The war between the families is inevitable. You know it. I know it. And when it starts?" He tilts his head. "I want yo

Jules. Her name stares back at me from the paper in Levi’s hands, sharp and inescapable. Matteo wants her dead. And he wants us to do it. The diner hums around us, low conversations, the occasional clatter of dishes. But to me? It’s silent. Because this isn’t just another job. This is Jules. The woman who fought beside us. The woman who stood in the trenches with us. The woman who betrayed us. And now? Now I have to decide if I can put a bullet in her head. Levi watches me carefully, waiting. He doesn’t push. Because he knows. He knows this isn’t easy. Owen, on the other hand, doesn’t seem conflicted at all. He leans back in the booth, arms crossed, smirking slightly. “Well,” he says, breaking the silence. “Guess we better figure out where she is.” I finally look at Levi. His jaw is tight, his fingers curled against the table. He doesn’t like this. Neither do I. But Matteo has made it very clear this isn’t a request. If we don’t do this, We’re

Levi aims and shoots. The gunshot shatters the tension, ripping through the humid air like a blade. One of Matteo’s men drops instantly, a grunt escaping his lips before he collapses onto the floor. Then? Chaos. Levi moves before the next shot rings out, grabbing my arm and yanking me behind an overturned table. Owen ducks behind the bar, cursing under his breath as bullets slam into the walls. Jules? She just won't stop laughing. I glare at her. It's becoming very annoying. "You think this is funny?" She shrugs, unbothered, as she pulls a second gun from her waistband. "Matteo really thought he could take all of us out in one go?" She spins the gun in her palm. "Dumbass." Levi reloads beside me, jaw tight. "Less talking. More shooting." Fine by me. I pop out from cover, firing three quick shots, hitting one, forcing the others to scramble. Owen takes another one down from behind the bar, and Levi, as always, is methodical. Precise. Deadly. And just like th

Forced To The Billionaire 178
Years had passed since the day we fought for freedom, for peace, and for the life we have now. The life we had dreamed of for so long but never dared to imagine in the depth of our darkest days.Our home was no longer a symbol of chaos or fear—it was a sanctuary. The walls that once echoed with tension now hummed with the laughter of our children and the soft murmur of conversations that held no weight of the past. It was a place of peace, of love, of family.Levi stood by the window, looking out over the vast grounds of our estate. The sun was setting, casting a warm, golden light over everything. He had always been the protector, the one who looked out for everyone, but now, as I watched him from behind, I saw the shift. The years had softened him in ways I hadn't expected. His gaze, once sharp and filled with purpose, now held a quiet w

We stood together, the weight of the world no longer pressing down on us. For the first time in what felt like forever, I could finally see the horizon ahead—clear, unobstructed, and full of promise. The past had been a storm, one we’d weathered with everything we had, but now the skies were calm, the air sweet with the scent of new beginnings.Levi’s hand found mine, his fingers wrapping around mine with that familiar, comforting strength. We had come so far, from the darkness of a life we never asked for, to this—this quiet, peaceful moment where everything felt right. We had built a life together, piece by piece, through the pain and the loss, through every challenge that had come our way. And now, we were free.I looked down at our son, sleeping peacefully in Levi’s arms, his tiny chest rising and falling with every breath. He was a symbol of everything we had fought for, everything we had dreamed of. He was our future, and that
Forced To The Billionaire 176
The world had changed for us. For the first time in a long while, I could breathe without the weight of the past suffocating me. Levi and I, side by side, were finally at peace. The endless battles, the constant fight for survival, all of it felt like it was behind us. There was no more running, no more hiding. We had built something together, something we never thought we’d have: a life that was free of fear, full of hope, and, most importantly, full of love.I watched Levi as he stood by the window, his hands resting lightly on the sill. The evening sun bathed him in a warm golden light, casting long shadows across the room. His face, once hardened by years of war and loss, now wore a calmness that I hadn’t thought possible. There were lines on his face, yes, but they were no longer lines of anger or sorrow. They were lines of experience, of wisdom. He had lived through so much, and yet, now, in this quiet moment, he was at peace. We both were.I leaned a

Levi held the envelope in his hands, his fingers tracing the edges of it as if unsure whether to open it. The silence was heavy between us, each of us waiting for him to make the first move. I could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on me. I had never expected to find myself in this situation, not with Levi’s mother standing before us, and certainly not with her holding something that could change everything. The tension was palpable, and for a moment, it felt like the room itself was holding its breath.I glanced at Levi, who was still staring down at the envelope, his jaw tense, his mind clearly processing everything. It wasn’t just the content of the letter that he was contemplating; it was the years of abandonment, of unanswered questions, of the emptiness that his mother had left in his life. No matter how much he tried to shield himself from it, the truth about her absence, the reason why she had walked away all those years ago, was something that
Forced To The Billionaire 174
The days after our vow renewal passed in a peaceful blur. For the first time in what felt like forever, there were no enemies at the gates, no secrets threatening to tear us apart. There was only the present—the quiet, intimate moments we shared as a family. Levi and I spent hours talking about our future, about the life we were going to build for our son. We reflected on all we had endured to get to this point, but even more so on the love we had for each other and the trust that had grown between us.In these moments, I felt a sense of calm that was foreign to me. In the past, I had always been on edge, waiting for the next betrayal, the next threat to arise. But now, in the safety of our home, with our son sleeping peacefully in his crib, I allowed myself to feel what I had always longed for—peace.Levi and I shared a quiet dinner one evening, the soft glow of the lights illuminating the room. Our son was asleep in his room, and for the first time,
Forced To The Billionaire 173
As I watched Levi hold our son, the weight of everything that had happened seemed to melt away. It was hard to believe that just months ago, we were fighting for survival, struggling with betrayals, with enemies lurking at every corner. And now here we were, in a hospital room, surrounded by the soft hum of machines and the faint scent of antiseptic, with our child between us. I couldn’t remember a time when I had felt more at peace.Levi had always been the force of nature, the leader who commanded respect, but here, in this moment, I saw a side of him I hadn’t truly known before. The man I thought I understood—cold, calculated, driven by the mission—was now softened, changed by the simple act of holding our child. Our son, our little miracle, had transformed him in ways I didn’t think were possible.I turned my head to look at him, my hand resting gently on his arm. He was staring down at the baby with a soft expression on his face, his
Forced To The Billionaire 172
The moment Levi held our baby for the first time was one I would never forget. I had seen him strong, cold, ruthless in battle, and yet here, in the quiet, dimly lit hospital room, all that faded away. It was just him, me, and the tiny life we had created together.His arms were gentle, yet his grip was firm, as if he were afraid to let go, as if the very idea of losing this moment, losing this piece of him, terrified him more than anything else. His face was soft, his eyes filled with a vulnerability I had never seen before. He looked at our child with a kind of reverence, his gaze intense and full of awe.“I never thought…” Levi’s voice faltered, thick with emotion, and for the first time, I saw the cracks in his armor. His gaze flickered from the baby to me, and there was a shift in him, something profound. “I never thought I could feel like this. So... so helpless. But in the best way. This... this little one has already changed

The world around me was a blur of motion, flashes of light and darkness, the steady beep of machines blending with the sound of Levi’s voice. He was calling my name, his hand gripping mine tightly, but everything felt distant, as though I was floating somewhere far from him.“Eliana, stay with me,” he said, his voice strained, as though it was costing him everything to speak. I could hear the panic there, the fear, but there was something else too—something I hadn’t heard before. Something raw. His hand tightened around mine, and I tried to squeeze back, but my fingers felt heavy, sluggish. I couldn’t focus, couldn’t stay present. My body felt foreign to me, as though I was losing control of it.“Eliana,” Levi’s voice broke through again, more urgent this time. “I need you to stay with me. Just a little longer, please.”I tried to respond, but no words came. Instead, I felt the p

I wasn’t sure how long we’d been fighting, but it felt like hours, maybe days. Each moment blurred into the next as we moved, fought, and fought some more. The Rossettis, Livia, even Mr. Rossetti—they had been obstacles, pieces of the puzzle, but they weren’t the true threat. They were pawns, caught in a game they didn’t understand. It was always her. Levi’s twin sister. I had sensed it all along, but I hadn’t been able to put the pieces together until now. Every step we had taken, every move, it had all been leading us to her. She was the one who orchestrated this entire nightmare. The Rossettis had been too predictable, too visible. It had been her, pulling the strings from behind the scenes. And now, as we stood on the precipice of everything we had fought for, it became clear. She was here. She was the storm we had been trying to survive, and now it was time to face it head-on. Levi’s anger was palpable beside me. I could feel the tension in his every muscle, the way he gripp
