The Billionaires Pawn Chapter seven: Legacy in the Shadows
Julian’s Pov: I had no illusions about who I was. My father taught me that power wasn’t given; it was taken. And when my mother decided she’d take his life to seize control? That only reinforced the lesson. “Julian,” she’d say, her voice like ice. “A man who shows weakness is a man who loses everything.” “Like you lost him?” I’d replied once, watching her face twist. After his death, I’d built myself into the man I needed to be—untouchable, unshakable. My name carried weight. My business? Thrived on fear and respect. Étienne and I worked with men who smiled at dinner parties and traded secrets in the shadows. Billionaires. Criminals. Often both. “You’re quiet today,” Étienne said, snapping me out of my thoughts. “I’m thinking,” I replied, swirling the amber liquid in my glass. “Thinking? Dangerous game, mon ami.” He smirked. “Maybe you’ve finally lost your edge?” I shot him a look. He shrugged, leaning back in his chair. “Just saying, a man who spends this much time

Lexi’s POV: I was alone. Again. I sat on the edge of the oversized couch,Julian’s penthouse was a prison disguised as luxury. The walls gleamed with marble, the furniture screamed wealth, but none of it could hide the emptiness that clawed at me. I tucked my legs beneath me. How long had it been since I’d laughed freely or even had a conversation that wasn’t carefully measured? Days? Weeks? Time blurred here. My gaze wandered to the sleek phone on the coffee table. It had become my enemy, a reminder of the life I’d walked away from. A life where I had choices. And Liam. Closing my eyes, I let my mind drift to the man who’d been my anchor when the world felt like it was crumbling. Liam. The gentleman who’d shown up at the bar one night and, somehow, never left. We’d become fast friends, his warm smile and easy charm had been a balm for my frayed nerves. He listened when no one else cared. He saw me when I felt invisible. I could almost hear his voice now, the way he always kne

Julian’s POV The door slammed behind me as I walked into the penthouse, the echo of the confrontation with Victor. That bastard had the nerve to threaten me. I’ve never been the type to back down, not ever. I headed straight for the kitchen, grabbed the whiskey bottle from the counter. Pouring myself a glass, I took a long sip, letting the burn seep through me. It did little to extinguish the storm inside. By the third glass, my mood hadn’t improved. Men like Victor thought power was about ego.They underestimated what it meant to truly own something, to dominate without hesitation. The phone buzzed on the counter, interrupting my thoughts. Étienne’s name lit up the screen. “What?” I snapped. “Nice to hear you too,” Étienne drawled, his voice laced with amusement. “Say what you need to,” I said sharply, swirling the amber liquid in my glass. “Two of the five packages have arrived safely,” Étienne said, his tone turning businesslike. “The others should be here by morning

Julian’s POV: With a tender kiss, I began my sensual exploration of Lexi's body. My lips danced over her collarbone, down her breasts, and across the flat plane of her stomach before delving into the heated folds between her thighs. "Mmm," I hummed in approval at the taste of her arousal. "You're so wet for me already." I teased and stroked Lexi's clit with my fingers while circling the entrance to her throbbing pussy with my thumb. She writhed beneath me, desperate for more stimulation but I held back, refusing to let her find release just yet. "Not yet, pet," I whispered against her skin as she whimpered in frustration. "I want you ready and begging when I claim your mouth next." True to my word, I lifted Lexi onto the couch and instructed her to kneel before me with an expectant hand on my rigid cock. "Suck it like you mean it," Lexi wrapped her lips around the head of my cock, moaning at the taste and texture. She took me deep into her mouth, bobbing her head in rhythm as

Lexi’s POV His fingers curled inside me as he scissored them to stretch my inner walls. "Time to take your reward." He pulled his fingers free with a wet pop and I could feel the cool air against my slick folds before he lined up his thick cock with my entrance. With one powerful thrust, he sheathed himself fully inside me. I gasped at the sudden intrusion, my body adjusting to accommodate his girth. Julian groaned in satisfaction at the tight heat enveloping him and began to move long, deep strokes that had us both moaning in pleasure. "Fuck yes... you were made for this, just the way I like it " he grunted, pounding into me relentlessly as I met each thrust with a desperate rock of my hips. The couch creaked beneath us as we fucked hard and fast, sweat dripping down our bodies in time with the slap of skin on skin. Julian’s POV I continued to pound into Lexi's willing body, each powerful thrust driving me deeper into her tight heat. Her moans and whimpers only spurred me on,

Julian’s POV As I watched the black female stripper, wearing just a silver string pants with no bras on and the way her black nipples jiggled as her breast bounced back and forth, while doing her pole dance. The memory of her body burned in my mind, every gasp, every moan, the way she gave herself completely to me. Lexi. She was perfect. Yet, I couldn’t shake the thought that maybe I shouldn’t have left without a word. But no, it was better this way. She needed to know her place, always available, always mine, but nothing more. No attachments. No expectations. “Julian,” Étienne’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. He leaned against the doorframe, looking entirely too smug. “What?” I barked, irritated by the interruption. “I met someone.” “Congratulations. Why do I care?” “She works with one of our allies. Her name’s Catherine,” he said, stepping closer. “And she looks like an older version of Lexi.” I frowned, his words catching me off guard. “What are you saying?”

Lexi’s POV “I was his most prized possession?? And yet he treated me like I belonged to the garbs”. I looked at him , trying once again to understand the type of man he is exactly. Julian’s eyes bore into mine, cold and unreadable. I couldn’t tell what he was planning, and that terrified me more than Victor’s gun pressed to my head. Victor’s grip tightened on my arm. “What’s it going to be, Julian?” he taunted. “Your girl, or your pride?” Julian’s jaw clenched, but he didn’t move. “Let her go, Victor. This doesn’t have to end badly for you.” Victor laughed, a dark, guttural sound that sent chills down my spine. “Oh, it’s going to end badly, alright. Just not for me.” The silence stretched, heavy and unbearable. Then, to my shock, Julian slowly crouched down and placed his gun on the ground. “Smart choice,” Victor sneered. Julian pushed the gun toward him with a deliberate slide. Victor smirked, bending down to pick it up. And that’s when it happened. A single sharp m

I was lounging on the couch, scrolling through my phone aimlessly. I stared at a picture Liam had just posted. It was from a night at the bar, his crooked smile and carefree charm staring back at me. I hated to admit it, but I kind of missed him. Missed the way he could make any conversation feel normal, easy, even when my world was spinning out of control. A sharp knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts. I jumped slightly as Martha, the housekeeper, stepped in. She folded her hands neatly in front of her and said, in her usual formal tone, “Mr. Blackwood has requested your presence in his office.” The mention of Julian’s name jolted me back to my current reality. “Do you know why?” I asked, even though I already knew the answer. Martha simply shook her head and waited for me to follow. I glanced around the room. My dad, sitting in his usual spot with the newspaper, looked at me with concern. It was the “I hope everything is okay” look. But I couldn’t give him any answers. Wi

The Billionaires Pawn Chapter one hundred and thirty-eight: Far from over
Elixir’s POV The night stretched endlessly before me, dark and intoxicating. A storm lingered in the air, the scent of rain mixing with the ocean breeze that drifted through the open balcony doors. The world outside my estate was quiet, too quiet, but that only made the pulse of my own thoughts louder, clearer. I had always preferred the night. It was in the darkness that true power thrived, where people’s worst fears came to life, where shadows whispered secrets that daylight tried to bury. The night had always belonged to me, just as much as it had once belonged to Alexa my sister. But Alexa had been weak. Impetuous. Too desperate for vengeance, too obsessed with proving herself. And that desperation had been her downfall. A smirk curled my lips as I shifted the weight in my arms, glancing down at the tiny figure wrapped in a soft white blanket. My daughter stirred, a soft whimper escaping her lips as her small hands reached for something unseen. I watched her, my heart tigh
The Billionaires Pawn Chapter One hundred and thirty seven : what could have been
Lexi’s POVI wasn’t sure why I kept coming back.Maybe it was guilt. Maybe it was curiosity. Or maybe it was because a part of me, despite everything, still wanted to believe Kayla could be saved.But with each visit, that hope faded a little more.The clinic was quiet, the kind of quiet that felt heavy rather than peaceful. It had the sterile scent of disinfectant mixed with something unplaceable—something that made my stomach turn every time I walked through the doors.Kayla’s room was at the end of the hall, tucked away from the others. A nurse nodded at me as I approached, her expression unreadable. I wasn’t family. I wasn’t even a friend. But no one ever questioned why I was here.Maybe they saw the hesitation in my steps, the wariness in my eyes. Maybe they knew that whatever had brought me to Kayla wasn’t simple.I stepped inside, my breath catching in my throat.She was by the window again.She always was.Her hair, once meticulously styled, was now unkempt, strands falling in
The Billionaires Pawn One hundred and thirty six: Lexi BLACKWOOD
Lexi’s pov The night was a blur of toasts, laughter, and stolen glances between Julian and me. Friends and family gathered, congratulating us, offering their blessings. Even Alexander, dressed in the tiniest little tuxedo, was passed around like royalty.And through it all, Julian never left my side.When the night was winding down, and it was just the two of us again, he pulled me into his arms, resting his forehead against mine.“Ready to be my wife?” he asked, his voice low.I smiled, my fingers threading through his hair. “I was ready the moment I fell in love with you.”His kiss was slow, deliberate. Full of promises.Promises I knew he’d keep.The WeddingJulian didn’t just plan a wedding. He orchestrated an event.It was extravagant, breathtaking, and absolutely perfect. Every single detail was meticulously arranged, from the grand venue to the candlelit pathways that led to our vows.The ceremony took place in a private estate overlooking the ocean. White roses lined the aisl
The Billionaires Pawn Chapter One hundred and thirty six : Soft petals
Lexi’s POVThe night Julian proposed, I barely slept. Not because I was restless or uncertain, but because every time I closed my eyes, I replayed the moment over and over again. The way he looked at me. The certainty in his voice. The way his hands trembled just slightly when he slipped the ring onto my finger, as if this was the one thing in his life that truly mattered.I spent the rest of the night lying in his arms, listening to the steady rhythm of his breathing, feeling the warmth of his body against mine. It felt like a dream—one of those rare, beautiful ones that you never want to wake up from.But it was real.I was engaged to Julian Blackwood.When morning came, the first thing I saw was the ring. The delicate diamond glinted in the soft sunlight, a quiet reminder of everything that had changed. My heart clenched with something fierce and overwhelming.I turned my head, finding Julian already awake, watching me.“Morning, fiancé,” he murmured, his voice still laced with sle
The Billionaires Pawn Chapter one hundred and thirty four: The proposal
Julian’s POVI had never been a man of grand gestures. My world had always been one of precision, control, and ruthless efficiency. Sentiment had no place in my life—until Lexi.She changed everything.She softened the edges of a man who had never known tenderness. She made me want things I never thought I could have. A family. A home. A future.And now, I was going to make sure she was mine forever.I had planned every detail of this night with the same meticulous care I applied to everything in my life. Nothing was left to chance. Lexi deserved the perfect moment, and I would give it to her.When the evening arrived, I found her in the bedroom, getting ready. She stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her earrings, completely unaware of what was coming.“You look breathtaking,” I murmured, stepping behind her.She smiled at me through the mirror. “You’re being suspiciously charming tonight.”I smirked, running my hands down her arms before pressing a kiss to her bare shoulder. “May
The Billionaires Pawn One hundred and thirty three: Farewell to the past
Julian’s POVThe moment I stepped into our penthouse, I knew Lexi was waiting. The tension in my shoulders eased just slightly at the sight of her sitting on the couch, Alexander cradled in her arms. She looked up as soon as I entered, her gaze scanning my face for answers.She knew.“Julian,” she murmured, her voice softer than I expected. “You’re back.”I walked over, leaning down to press a kiss to her forehead before glancing at my son. He was asleep, his tiny chest rising and falling peacefully.“It’s done,” I said simply.Lexi’s expression faltered. “Victor?”I met her eyes. She already knew the answer, but she still wanted to hear it.“He didn’t make it.”She swallowed, nodding slowly. “I figured.” There was no sorrow, not really. Just an understanding. A quiet acceptance. “I guess he was too far gone, huh?”“He made his choice.” My voice was calm, absolute. “And he paid for it.”Lexi sighed, adjusting Alexander in her arms. “It’s just… a shame, that’s all.”“He would’ve never
The Billionaires Pawn Chapter one-hundred and thirty two: The fall of an enemy
Julian’s POVI should’ve seen it sooner.The missing shipments. The subtle miscalculations. The way the enemy always seemed one step ahead.And now, the fire. The attack. The taunting video.All of it led back to one man.Victor Hale.I stood in my office, my fingers curling into fists as Henry laid the last piece of evidence on my desk—a bank transaction, large sums funneled into an offshore account.Victor’s account.My closest men stood around me, their faces hard, waiting for my command.Henry exhaled sharply. “He’s been working against you for months, Julian. He didn’t just steal from you. He fed intel to your enemies. He gave them access. He—”“Where is he?” I cut in, my voice like steel.Henry’s eyes darkened. “We tracked him to a private safe house. He thinks he’s covered his tracks.”“He thinks wrong.”I grabbed my gun.Tonight, this endsJulian’s POVThe moment I stepped into Victor’s so-called safe house, I felt nothing but cold fury.He sat there, comfortably swirling a gl
The Billionaires Pawn Chapter one-hundred and thirty-one : Firery fury
Julian’s POVThe air was thick with tension. I sat in the backseat of my car, fingers tapping against my knee as Henry drove. The city lights blurred past, but my mind was razor-sharp.We had a lead.A warehouse worker had come forward—nervous, fidgety, but alive. He had information, something about missing shipments and seeing people he shouldn’t have.We were on our way to meet him.Henry’s grip on the wheel was tight. “Something about this feels off.”I nodded. It did. Too easy. Too convenient. But I wasn’t about to ignore it.The moment we pulled up to the meeting point—a rundown building near the docks—I knew.We were too late.The smell of blood hit first. Then, the sight.The worker was slumped against the wall, a bullet hole clean through his skull. A message carved into his chest with something sharp.“Too slow.”My jaw clenched. Whoever was behind this wasn’t just covering their tracks—they were taunting me.Henry crouched down, checking the body. “Still warm.”I turned to m
The Billionaires Pawn Chapter one-hundred and thirty: old enemy
Julian’s POVI sat in my office, fingers steepled, staring at the whiskey in my glass. It was untouched. I wasn’t in the mood for it. Not when my mind was sharp, dissecting every possible angle of this betrayal.A single thief? No. That would’ve been too simple. Too careless.There was something bigger at play.Henry walked in, his usual calm demeanor slightly strained. I knew him well enough to recognize when something didn’t sit right with him.“What did you find?” I asked.He set a file on my desk. “It wasn’t just him.”I already knew that, but hearing it confirmed sent a slow burn through my chest.“Go on,” I said evenly.Henry opened the file, revealing documents, security logs, and numbers that didn’t match up.“We’ve been missing shipments for months,” he said. “Small amounts. A bar here, a bar there. Nothing too obvious. But it adds up.”I flipped through the pages. The calculations were clear—whoever was behind this had been careful. They knew how to move just enough to avoid
