KIRA’S POV

I walked into the house quietly, craving nothing more than a long, cold shower and some sleep. My feet dragged across the cool tiles as I inched toward my bedroom. Once inside, I shut the door lazily and dropped my fanny pack onto the bed before pulling my hair into a bun.

“Ugh…” I groaned as I peeled off my sweat-soaked sports bra. The relief of having it off was immediate. I tossed it into the laundry basket before hooking my thumbs into the waistband of my shorts.

Before I could pull them down, I heard someone make a tsking sound from the other side of the door. It sounded closer than usual, which was odd, but I turned my head around to look and met a familiar pair of dark brown eyes I knew too well.

I didn’t shut the door well!

“Ah! What the hell?” I yelped, dragging my duvet from off the bed and using it to cover my chest, before turning back around.

“Why did you stop? I was enjoying the little show.” Dylan smir

  • The Untypical Marriage   Chapter 109

    Kira’s POVWhat the hell just happened?“Hey… move it!”Someone shoved me. Two girls, grinding against each other, bumped into me and jolted me back into reality.The noise of the club, the music, the lights, the chaos. Everything came crashing back into my senses all at once and I struggled to stay upright. Something was different now.Adrian.It was like his touch had soaked into my skin, deep into my bloodstream. I felt weightless. Like I was floating. But still… still… incredibly turned on. My insides tingled with leftover tension, throbbing like I’d been wired for a release that never came.It felt like I was going to explode.I started moving, weaving through the crowd looking for him. Where the hell did he go? Did he really just do that? In public? And worse… Did I let him?I frantically searched the faces, my eyes roaming trying to make out faces over the blinking lights, when I crashed into something hard.“Whoa, whoa… I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”Antonio.His voic

  • The Untypical Marriage   Chapter 108

    KIRA’S POVMy eyes fell on Adrian and our gazes locked. Everything around me.. the music, the chaos, the crowd suddenly disappeared. It was like the whole world paused… and in that stillness, all I could see was him.Waves of them. Endless. Relentless.He stood there in his signature black suit, his hair slicked back like always. Those eyes of his… they roamed over my body with a slow, lazy sort of curiosity that made my skin shiver.I suddenly felt exposed, almost naked under his gaze, even though I was barely clothed. I could feel the heat of his stare burning through the thin fabric of my dress. My fingers itched, almost instinctively, to tear at the top of it, to rip it off like it didn’t belong to me anymore. Not with him looking at me like that.“Wh…What are you—” I struggled to form words. The music was loud, pulsing, drowning out my voice… but somehow, his presence was louder.He stepped closer, and I took a step back instinctively. Not because I was scared of him… but because

    Kira’s POV“Are you sure about this?” I asked Gia, for what felt like the hundredth time. Maybe the thousandth.Gia, of course, didn’t pause for a second as she walked out of the car. “Girl… yes.”“I don’t know, Gia,” I hesitated. “We should probably go back home. It’s almost time for dinner.”She whipped her head toward me so fast. “Dinner? You’re thinking about dinner right now?”“Yes,” I replied, tugging down the hem of the dress she practically forced on me. It was very short. Very, very short. Like, if-I-sneeze-it’s-over short. The fabric clung to my body like a second skin, and for what felt like the millionth time, I tried to pull it down and cover something. Anything.“Gia, seriously, I don’t think—”“No, Kira. Don’t start.” She cut me off with a finger pointed in my face. “We’re doing this. I can’t believe you’ve never gone clubbing before. That’s actually embarrassing.”I looked up ahead at the large building. The pulsing red and blue lights bled out of the entrance and pain

    ADRIAN'S POV“All of them?” I asked, sinking into my chair.“Yes, boss. All of them,” Ted confirmed, his voice tense.“What the fuck is going on?” I growled, leaning forward, my palms flat against the desk.“They think you called it,” Ted said, not meeting my eyes. “My informant at the Monteverros says their youngest son was shot. And they think you called the hit. Somehow, it has all our prints on it.”“What?” I snapped. “How?”“I don’t have more details yet. But—”I raised my hand, cutting Ted off mid-sentence. He stopped talking immediately. I pressed my palms to my face, forcing myself to breathe through the pressure building in my skull.“Shit.”I turned my attention to Steven, my legitimate secretary who stood stiffly beside Ted like he didn’t know where to place his hands.“What was that important info you had for me?”The moment I stepped into VPN, Steven chased after us. Before I’d even arrived, he’d blown up my phone with SOS messages. I was neck-deep in other things and had

    KIRA’S POVI read the message for the umpteenth time: a secret in the basement.The basement?What could possibly be waiting for me down there?Was this Adrian’s weird idea of a gift?No. Something told me this wasn’t from Adrian. He didn’t even know I was aware of the super creepy, torture-chamber-of-a-basement. I’d only ever been there once… when I saw him drilling a man like it was nothing.I turned to where the person had come from, my eyes scanning the empty hallway, ears straining, waiting for a maid or one of Adrian's men to pop out and say this was all a prank. A voice in my head probed, " Do people in this house look like they know what a prank is?”Ok, so not a prank!Maybe Adrian had planned something dramatic and romantic and a maid was going to appear any moment now to lead me down to the basement with some cryptic mafia scavenger hunt.But nothing.The hallway, which had been bustling with maids earlier, was now eerily silent.Do I go to the basement?Was this some kind

    Kira’s POV“What?” he asked, raising his head, desire still dark in his eyes as a few strands of hair fell into his face, messy and unfairly hot, his lips pink and swollen… courtesy of yours trulyThe corners of his mouth curled slightly as confusion began to settle in his expression.I pulled back slowly, studying him. Then, without saying a word, I pressed a palm to his chest and pushed him backward. He let me, no hesitation, though his eyes roamed over me like he was trying to figure out what the hell I was up to.Here goes nothing.I stepped down from the table.“What is it?” I didn’t respond. Instead, I reached for his hands… his large hands, so big my palm could barely cover four of his fingers—and pulled him toward the chair behind the table. He followed without a word, and when we reached it, I gently pushed him down into the seat.The surprise flickered across his face but vanished just as quickly, replaced by the faintest smirk.The corners of his lips lifted again. “What a
