41: Wrecked By Him

2025-04-05 08:01:31Swallowing, Maria stepped forward, her bare feet silent against the cold floor.
Luca’s eyes tracked every movement, burning her from the inside out.And then she was there, standing between his legs, so close she could feel the heat radiating from his body.He didn’t move. Didn’t reach for her.No—he was going to make her do this. Make her surrender.Maria exhaled softly, placing her hands on his broad shoulders. She could feel the tension in him, the barely leashed restraint beneath her fingers.Then, slowly, she swung one leg over him, straddling his lap.Luca let out a low growl, his hands gripping the armrests so tightly his knuckles went white. "That’s my girl."Maria smiled—just a little, just enough to remind herself that even though she had lost, she still had some control.And then she started moving.Slowly. Sinfully.She rolled her hips against him, her body moving like liqu

THE PRICE FOR HIS NAME 42: Overdrive
Their honeymoon officially began after two nights at the villa, but instead of staying in tropical paradise, Luca had something else planned.That morning, he led her onto the private jet, all he said was, “You’ll see.”The flight was smooth, but Maria noticed the temperature dropping steadily the closer they got to their destination. When they finally landed, she stepped out of the jet and into a completely different world.Snow. Everywhere.Thick layers of white blanketed the landscape, stretching as far as the eye could see. Towering pine trees, heavy with frost, lined the private runway, their tips dusted in silver beneath the pale afternoon sun. The air was crisp, the kind that bit at her skin and turned every breath into a cloud.A stark contrast to the golden heat of Hayport.Maria shivered involuntarily, pulling her coat closer around her. Luca, on the other hand, seemed entirely unaffected.He grinned at her reaction, sliding a warm hand to the small of her back. “Cold?”Mari

With a sharp exhale, he hit the auto-drive button on the dashboard.The female computer system chirped in a robotic voice: "Auto-drive engaged. Please keep hands and feet inside the vehicle."Luca wasted no time.His hands gripped Maria’s arms, pulling her up until she was straddling him.Maria gasped as he yanked up her dress, hands gripping her thighs, spreading her open over him.His fingers dragged down from her breast, tracing her ribs, her stomach, before slipping beneath the bunched fabric of her dress. The moment his knuckles brushed over her soaked core, he went still.No underwear.“Fuck.” His voice was pure gravel, low and sharp, a razor against the heated air between them. “No panties? You’ve been sitting next to me like this all night?”Maria swallowed, her lips parting, but she didn’t get a chance to respond.Luca’s fingers slid between her folds, finding her drenched, slick, ready. His cock throbbed painfully just above her heat.“You’re soaking,” he murmured darkly, hi

The fire crackled in the hearth, filling the cozy cabin with a soft golden glow. Snow piled against the windows, muffling the world outside in an icy embrace. The air was thick with warmth and the lingering scent of Maria’s shampoo as she lay curled up beneath the heavy covers, a palm resting on her stomach. Her breathing was steady, peaceful.Luca sat at the edge of the bed, his phone pressed against his ear as he listened to the voice on the other end. His other hand rubbed at the slight ache in his temple."And you're sure he's still scrambling?" Luca murmured, voice barely above a whisper."Positive," came the reply. "Edwards is losing everything, piece by piece. Just like you planned."A slow, satisfied smirk curled at Luca's lips."Good. He doesn’t deserve a single cent, not after what he did to her." His eyes flickered to Maria, still asleep. His smirk faded into something softer. "I promised her I'd take everything from him first before I killed him."There was a pause on the

It was the fourth day of their honeymoon, but they had barely stepped outside. Maria was exhausted most of the time, constantly drowsy or nauseous, and Luca didn’t mind in the slightest. He preferred having her in bed, tucked under the thick blankets of the warm cabin, safe and within reach.The doctor had confirmed she was four weeks pregnant, and since then, Luca had become utterly obsessed with Maria’s well-being—more than usual, which was saying a lot. He wouldn’t even let her carry a water bottle on her own.Now, Maria lay curled on her side, half-asleep, while Luca propped himself up on one elbow, staring at her stomach like it held the secrets of the universe. His large palm rested protectively over her belly, and Maria, with her eyes barely open, muttered, “You’re obsessing over me.”Luca scoffed. “You act like it’s new. I’ve always been obsessed with you.”Maria chuckled sleepily, rubbing at her fac

The underground chamber was colder than it should have been, the walls thick with age and reinforced with layers of security that no one would dare breach. The room itself was decadence woven into power—an unsettling mix of old money and ruthless efficiency. The chandelier hanging above the long mahogany table wasn’t made of crystal or glass but of bones—fossilized fragments of creatures long extinct.Twelve men sat around the table, their expressions carved from stone. These weren’t politicians who played at power in the public eye. No, these were the architects of the world’s balance, the men whose hands turned the unseen gears that dictated the rise and fall of markets, governments, and even history itself.At the head of the table sat the Scar-Faced Man.His left cheek bore three jagged scars, twisting the flesh as if melted by fire. His left eye was milky, clouded over by an old injury, but his right was keen, calculating

"Tragedy strikes the business and scientific community today as renowned researcher and entrepreneur Orien De Link was killed in what authorities are calling a horrific accident."The news anchor, a perfectly poised woman with icy blonde hair, delivered the report with carefully rehearsed concern. Behind her, a looping video of the mangled remains of a sleek black vehicle flashed on the screen. The front end was crushed beyond recognition, the windshield reduced to jagged fragments. Emergency responders swarmed the scene, but it was clear—Orien had never stood a chance."According to preliminary reports, Orien’s car suffered an unexpected brake failure while he was en route to a private meeting. Witnesses say the vehicle veered off the highway, colliding head-on with a retaining wall. Despite immediate response efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding foul play, though speculation continues to grow given Orien’s ext

The hum of the private jet was a low, steady purr as it cut through the sky, carrying them back to Hay Port. The honeymoon was officially over, though Maria had been the one to end it early. She hadn’t seen the point of dragging it out—she was pregnant, and all she’d done was spend her time in bed, too tired to do much else. If that was the case, she might as well get back to work before she became too heavy to move around. Gina sat across from them, typing away on her tablet, her sharp eyes focused on whatever report she was compiling. She was dressed in a sleek, navy-blue jumpsuit that hugged her figure, paired with black ankle boots. A silver watch adorned her wrist, catching the light every time she flicked through her notes. Her bobbed hair, jet black and perfectly styled, barely moved as she worked, her posture straight and unwavering. Maria was curled up in Luca’s arms, tucked against his chest as his lips brushed over her hair. His warmth seeped into her, grounding her

Maria leaned back in her chair, fingers drumming lightly against the smooth glass surface of her desk. The weight of responsibility never truly left her shoulders, but today, it pressed down a little heavier. She needed two assistants—one to help with A√ancii, and another to help her manage the HR division of SpitFire Technologies. Both roles were equally demanding, requiring people who were sharp, efficient, and, above all, trustworthy.She exhaled, tilting her head slightly as she thought about everything she had already accomplished. The SpitFire penthouse was her idea—one of the first major changes she had implemented as CHRO. Housing in Hay Port was expensive, and she had seen firsthand how employees struggled to keep up with rent while working long hours. Some lived far from the headquarters, and their daily commute often resulted in tardiness, exhaustion, and reduced productivity. It had been a problem no one had taken seriously, but Maria had.The penthouse changed everyth

THE PRICE FOR HIS NAME 71: Ginger Biscuits
Maria barely had a moment to breathe before he thrust into her again—slow, deliberate, dragging out every inch of pleasure as he filled her completely. The sensation was overwhelming, a heady mix of overstimulation and raw desire that left her gasping, her fingers gripping the counter as if it were the only thing keeping her tethered to reality.The wet, obscene sounds of their joining echoed through the kitchen, each thrust a slick, lewd melody against the backdrop of their breathless moans. The air was thick with the scent of sex—heady, intoxicating, laced with the remnants of last night. Luca was still inside her, and she could feel it, the remnants of his previous release making everything even hotter, even messier."You're dripping everywhere, baby," he murmured, his voice dark and amused, one hand gripping her hip possessively while the other trailed down the curve of her stomach. His fingers traced lower, teasing, smearing the evidence of their union against her skin.Maria w
THE PRICE FOR HIS NAME 70: Saturday Morning Indulgence
Luca stirred awake to the warmth of sunlight filtering through the tall windows of their bedroom. The sheets were slightly cool beside him, telling him Maria had already left the bed. He groaned softly, stretching his arms before rolling onto his back, his mind still hazy from sleep.Then he remembered.Gina.He exhaled, rubbing a hand down his face. That brat had made him worry for no damn reason. After all these weeks, she'd managed to fake her death, stay hidden, and even keep it from him. Luca smirked to himself. He had meant to tell Maria last night, but one thing had led to another, and well… priorities.Pushing himself up, he walked into the bathroom, letting the hot water wake him fully. By the time he stepped out, towel wrapped low on his hips, the scent of ginger and something sweet drifted through the air.Maria.The morning sun cast a warm glow over the marble floors as Luca stepped downstairs, the scent of ginger and sugar wrapping around him like a slow, teasing invita
THE PRICE FOR HIS NAME 69: The Jealous King
Maria's body quivered, still trembling from the devastating climax Luca had just pulled from her on the dressing table. Her skin burned where his hands had been, every inch of her hypersensitive, raw from his relentless possession.She could still feel him-throbbing, thick and pulsing inside her-stretching her, filling her. The heat of him seared her from the inside out, making her mind swim with a hazy, desperate pleasure. His breath was hot against her ear, the scent of sex and his cologne thick in the air, intoxicating, inescapable.But it wasn't over.A deep, primal groan rumbled in Luca's chest, a sound so full of hunger and dominance that Maria shuddered, her breath hitching. Then, before she could gather herself, he moved-lifting her as if she weighed nothing, his strength effortless. His arms, powerful and unyielding, wrapped around her, holding her against his sweat-slicked skin as he carried her across the dimly lit bedroom.The only light came from the cityscape beyond
THE PRICE FOR HIS NAME 68: The Reckoning
Maria had spent years perfecting the art of control.Her words, her expressions, her very presence—all of it was calculated, deliberate, unshakable.But as she stared at the headline flashing across Sarah’s phone, she felt something cold settle in her chest."Edwards Kale Opens Up About Losing the Love of His Life—And How He’s Fighting to Win Her Back.”Maria read the words twice. Then once more.She exhaled slowly. “Who published this?”Sarah hesitated. “It’s everywhere. Business sites, tabloids, even finance columns. It’s not just a one-off interview—it’s a full-blown media campaign.”Maria’s grip on the phone tightened.Edwards had always been meticulous when it came to making a move. If he wanted to shift public perception, he wouldn’t just make a statement—he’d shape a narrative.And this? This wasn’t just about him talking to the press.This was a calculated attack.“Schedule a press conference,” Maria said coldly.Sarah frowned. “Are you sure? Responding could—”“I won’t let hi
THE PRICE FOR HIS NAME 67: The Ghost And The King
The moment stretched, long and suffocating.Gina stood in the center of the underground lab, her presence pressing against the walls like something too large to fit into reality.The dim lighting cut sharp angles over the burned side of her face, the part of her that had been claimed by fire and betrayal.The engineers—five of them—stood frozen in place, their collective shock hanging in the air like a static charge waiting to break.But no one was as silent as Luca.He hadn’t moved.Because Gina Frazer was standing there, breathing. Alive.And he had believed—truly believed—that she was dead.“Explain to me why you’re failing.”Her voice cut through the tension like a blade, sharp and unimpressed. It was the same voice that used to command entire rooms without ever needing to raise its volume.Roland swallowed, his throat bobbing visibly. “The engine won’t hold.” His voice was steady, but ther
THE PRICE FOR HIS NAME 66:The Ghost In Black
The underground testing facility beneath RXG Dam was a fortress of steel and innovation, carved into the earth where no one but ghosts and revolutionaries walked.It was massive—a maze of reinforced tunnels and soundproofed chambers, its air thick with the scent of machine oil, metal, and the distant rush of water siphoning from the dam above.This was Luca Avancii’s true empire. Not boardrooms or polished penthouses, but a world built on power, risk, and the kind of technology that could shift the balance of industries—if not entire nations.And tonight, it all came down to one test.Luca sat at the center of the facility, arms crossed, gaze unreadable, as the SpitFire Dominion sat poised on the testing grid, its sleek obsidian-black frame gleaming under the overhead fluorescents. It was a hypercar built for absolute domination, with a reinforced carbon-fiber body, an active aero system that adjusted mid-drive, and a cockpit designed li
THE PRICE FOR HIS NAME 65: The Weight Of Secrets
Maria stirred, yawning as she stretched beneath the sheets as the faintest morning light seeped through the curtains. The bed felt too large, too empty, and instinctively, she reached out beside her—only to feel nothing but the lingering warmth where Luca had been.Her eyes fluttered open. He was already awake.Blinking the sleep from her eyes, she turned her head toward the other side of the room. There he was—standing by the window, bathed in soft golden light. His back was to her, the rigid tension in his muscles clear even from where she lay. His hands were braced against the desk, head slightly bowed, as if he were lost in thought.Maria didn’t move immediately. She simply watched him.It was rare to see Luca like this—unguarded, unaware of her gaze. A man who always held control so tightly was now completely still, the weight of something unseen pressing heavily on him.Her heart clenched.She slipped out of bed q
THE PRICE FOR HIS NAME 64: Breaking Through The Ice
The house felt different.Luca was here, but it felt as if he wasn’t.Maria sat on the edge of their bed, her hands gripping the smooth satin sheets, letting the fabric slip between her fingers as she listened to the distant hum of the estate’s staff moving through the halls. The space beside her was empty. Had been empty for two nights now.Luca had barely spoken to her since their fight.No soft murmurs in the morning, no casual touches when they passed each other, no Luca.He was present, but unreachable.Maria wasn’t sure how much more of it she could take.Her fingers curled into fists, gripping the satin beneath her as frustration, guilt, and a dull ache all settled in her chest.Enough.She had always known how to handle Luca when he was angry. When his temper burned hot, she could cool it. When he was raging, she could talk him down.But this?This quiet, cold distance?

The bed was cold.Maria stirred beneath the sheets, blinking against the morning light filtering through the curtains. Her hand instinctively reached across the mattress, searching for warmth, for the familiar solid presence of Luca.Nothing.Her stomach clenched.She sat up slowly, pushing back her hair as she glanced toward the en-suite bathroom. The door was open. Empty.He left.A heavy sigh escaped her lips as she turned to the nightstand. His watch was gone. His phone charger was missing.Luca always left something behind when he was in a rush—his cufflinks, his laptop, something. But today? It was as if he had made sure not to leave a single trace of himself in their bedroom.Maria swallowed hard.He was still angry.She had known it last night, had felt it in the way he looked at her, in the way he let her go without a second glance.But some part of her had foolishly
