Chapter 71

Luca’s POVI leaned back in the plush leather chair, my eyes flicking over the stacks of paperwork in front of me. Each piece represented a deal, a transaction, a power shift. But today, I couldn’t focus on any of it. My mind kept drifting back to her—Emma. The way she had looked at me earlier, that mix of fear and defiance that only made me want to claim her more. She was mine now, whether she wanted to admit it or not.But the tension between us had grown thicker. I could see it in the way she avoided my gaze, in the way she flinched every time I moved too close. It was a game, and she was playing it well. But I could see through the act. I always could. Emma would break. They all did.I stood up, the chair scraping against the marble floor with a soft hiss. My thoughts weren’t going to settle until I took control of the situation again. I couldn’t stand the idea of her slipping away, of her thoughts lingering on the life she once had. It was a distant memory now. This was her reali

Chapter 72

Emma’s POVI could feel him watching me.Luca’s presence in the room was suffocating, even when he wasn’t near. It lingered in the air, thick and heavy, just like the opulent surroundings of the penthouse. The designer furniture, the expensive artwork adorning the walls, the sparkling chandeliers—everything screamed power, wealth, and control. And yet, none of it meant a thing compared to the weight of Luca’s gaze. It was as though his eyes could strip me bare, seeing through the act I put on every day.But he was right about one thing. I wasn’t like him. I didn’t crave this life. This world of excess, where money flowed like water and power was something to be wielded without mercy. It disgusted me. I wasn’t sure if it was his indifference or the fact that he had everything and still wanted more that irked me the most. But he wasn’t just any man. He was Luca Moretti. A mafia billionaire with a reputation that left even the most hardened criminals in awe.And yet, here I was—his unwil

Chapter 73

Luca’s POVThe city sprawled beneath me like a glittering map of my empire. From this vantage point in the penthouse, I could see the lights flickering in the distance, the busy streets, and the occasional flash of luxury cars driving by—each a symbol of the wealth I had built. It had all come so effortlessly, like the smooth and calculated movements of a predator in the night. Everything I wanted, I took. And now, I had her.Emma.She stood at the far side of the room, her back turned to me as she stared out at the city, her body tense. I could feel the electricity in the air, the unsaid words, the tension that hung between us like a fragile thread. She didn’t want to admit it, but I knew she was drawn to me, even if she hated herself for it. She fought it every step of the way, but she was already mine. I could see it in the way she looked at me, the way her body responded to my presence.But that wasn’t enough for me. Not nearly enough.I had never been one to play fair. I had neve

Chapter 74

Emma’s POVThe weight of Luca's words lingered in my mind, heavy and suffocating. The arrogance in his voice, the undeniable conviction in his eyes—he was so sure of himself, so certain that I belonged to him. But I refused to believe it. I couldn’t. No matter what he’d given me, no matter how much power and wealth he paraded in front of me, I wasn’t his. I was my own person, and I would never be controlled by someone like him.Still, a part of me couldn’t help but feel the way my heart raced whenever he was near. Every word he spoke felt like a knife twisting inside me, a reminder of just how dangerous he was. His power wasn’t just in the wealth he commanded, or the men he controlled, or the empire he built—it was in the way he could make me feel things I didn’t want to feel.I had told myself that I’d never let him get to me, that I’d never let him break me. But with every passing day, I felt myself inching closer to the edge of that line.The penthouse felt oppressive today, the wa

Chapter 75

Luca’s POVThe night was still young, but I could feel the weight of the tension between Emma and me. It had been building, slow and steady, for days now. She hated me, I could see it in her eyes every time she looked at me. But what she didn’t understand was that her resistance only made me more determined. The fire in her eyes, the defiance in her stance—she was the perfect challenge. And I loved a good challenge.But I wasn’t going to rush things. Patience, after all, was one of my greatest strengths.We sat across from each other at the private table, the soft glow of the candlelight casting flickering shadows across her face. She looked like she was a million miles away, her fingers playing with the stem of her wine glass, her eyes never quite meeting mine. I could tell she was trying to fight it—trying to resist me in any way she could. But deep down, I knew she couldn’t.Not when I had her exactly where I wanted her.“Do you like the view?” I asked, my voice low and smooth, lac

Chapter 76

Emma’s POVThe air in the restaurant felt oppressive, like the weight of Luca’s world was pressing down on me. It wasn’t just the opulence that surrounded us—the glistening chandeliers, the velvet drapes, the waiters dressed better than most people on their wedding day—it was Luca himself. His presence loomed large, larger than life, larger than this room.I wanted to believe I had control over myself, over my emotions, but it was getting harder. His words from earlier still echoed in my mind, the sharp reminder that I was in his world now, playing by his rules. He made it clear that this was a game, and while I wanted to hate him for it, there was a twisted part of me that almost... almost admired his audacity.The champagne flute in my hand trembled slightly, and I tightened my grip, willing myself to appear unbothered. But Luca’s piercing gaze caught every movement, every falter. He smirked, as if he could see straight through me, past the defiance I was desperately clinging to.“S

Chapter 77

Luca’s POVThere’s a certain thrill that comes with control. Watching Emma fight against the current, clawing for the illusion of power in a world I already own, is a game I never tire of playing. She doesn’t understand yet, not fully. She sees the money, the extravagance, and thinks it’s arrogance. But arrogance has no place in my world—it’s a weakness. What I do is survival, and survival is never cheap.As we stepped into the penthouse, I felt her hesitation. Emma’s footsteps faltered, her resistance unspoken but palpable. She was trying to build walls, fortify herself against me, but it was pointless. My world is built on tearing walls down.“You’re quiet,” I said, watching her.She crossed her arms, a defensive stance I’d seen countless times before. “What do you want me to say? That I understand your philosophy? That I agree with you?”I smirked, shrugging off my jacket and tossing it onto the nearest chair. “I don’t expect you to agree with me. That’s not how this works.”Her ey

Chapter 78

Emma’s POVThe kiss lingered on my lips like a brand, a constant reminder of Luca’s control over every inch of my life. He thought he had me figured out, thought he could own me with his arrogance, his money, and his overwhelming presence. But as I stood on the deck of his ridiculously extravagant yacht, watching the city lights shrink into the horizon, I couldn’t help but feel trapped—caught between my defiance and the undeniable pull he had over me.The ocean breeze tangled my hair, and the sound of the waves was a small comfort. I leaned against the railing, desperate for some kind of clarity, but all I found was the memory of his lips, his touch, and the maddening fact that, for a moment, I’d kissed him back.Damn him.Behind me, the staff moved with practiced precision, setting out trays of food that looked like they belonged in an art museum rather than on a dining table. Every movement screamed wealth—Luca’s wealth. The gold-rimmed plates, the champagne that probably cost more

Chapter 79

Luca’s POVThe soft sway of the yacht beneath my feet was the only thing grounding me as I stood at the edge of the deck, staring into the endless expanse of the ocean. Emma’s words lingered in the back of my mind, taunting me like a cruel echo. She didn’t need my protection? She had no idea how wrong she was.I swirled the glass of bourbon in my hand, the liquid catching the faint glow of the yacht’s extravagant lighting. The yacht itself was a masterpiece, built to flaunt wealth and power—one hundred and fifty feet of pure opulence. Every detail, from the custom Italian leather furnishings to the hand-carved mahogany railings, screamed excess.I didn’t do half-measures. Not in life, not in business, and certainly not in the game I was playing with Emma. She wanted to resist me? Fine. But she’d learn—everything had a price, and I was more than willing to pay it.I glanced back toward the main cabin, where I’d left her earlier. The memory of her standing there, defiant and vulnerable

Chapter 80

Emma’s POVThe villa in Saint-Tropez was a dream wrapped in luxury, but to me, it felt like a gilded cage. Every inch of it screamed Luca—imposing, extravagant, and inescapable. The sprawling estate overlooked the Mediterranean, its pristine waters reflecting the moonlight like a sea of liquid silver. I stood on the balcony of my room, gripping the cold iron railing, trying to calm the storm brewing inside me.Luca had done it again—dragged me into his world without a shred of consent. My thoughts churned with frustration and indignation as the sea breeze whipped through my hair. I was his pawn in a game I didn’t understand, a trophy displayed in his opulent life.The sound of the villa’s staff moving efficiently downstairs pulled me from my thoughts. Even at this hour, they bustled about, ensuring every detail was flawless. Luca’s orders were law, and no one dared defy him—not even me, though I hated to admit it.The memory of his words on the yacht lingered, cutting deeper than I wa
