"We shouldn't be doing this" "I'll be the one calling the shots honey, bend over." Kiara has never been one to mess around. Being the daughter of the CEO of Lux Empire, she has it all. But, she works hard, lives a silent life, and gets by happily. When Luca Ettore, her father's best friend, slips into it, she isn't sure how to go about it. The sexual tension is undeniable, and the way he makes her feel is illicit. It's a mess, a whirlwind of love and pain, tears and shocking revelations as they travel through a timeline of their own. Will their love rise above societal expectations? Or will it all come crashing down?

Psychopathic love Chapter 1 The Caribbean

"They were just so adorable, and seeing the smiles on all their faces made me so happy, Dad." Kiara rambled on about her previous expedition to for a charity project. She was extremely passionate about helping the less privileged. The kids in the Caribbean, particularly Jamaica, didn't have access to any water, so she and her team stayed there for a couple of weeks, making boreholes, wells, and taps for them.

Of course, she was a Lux, but she didn't misuse her power, or take it for granted. Instead, she put it towards helping others who were in need, endangered, or living in not-so-safe homes. It had become a part of her, one that she could never take away.

She pointed at her phone smiling, "Look at them!" Her father, Damian Lux, watched the video to the end, feeling very proud of his one and only daughter. "And there was this lovely little girl too, she was so intelligent and beautiful, I couldn't help but admire how strong and resilient she was."

"She told me she'd go to the river every day with her mother to fetch water, and most time she'd help her prepare food for the household. Her name is Ronica." She grinned.

"That's amazing, cara mia." He responded, leaning away from his cup of coffee and placing a kiss on her forehead. In Texas, Damian's company was one of the most reputable, and his daughter was doing a good job upholding and boosting that reputation. He definitely couldn't ask for more.

Maria, her mother, emerged from the kitchen, with a tray of food in hand for everyone. "It's time for breakfast, amore," she warned Kiara with a stern look on her face, "Put the phone down."

Kiara groaned, placing her phone face-down on the table, before grabbing her plate from the tray. "Why'd you cook today? Is Rosa still off?" She inquired, curious as to why their chef wasn't back yet.

"Family emergency, not that it's any of your business," She smiled, biting into her toast. "She'll be back by tomorrow."

"Don't talk to my precious daughter that way," Damian teased, pointing at her.

Kiara laughed, taking a sip of her coffee and eating her breakfast. "The video is going viral, you guys! Who would've thought? I might end up taking another trip to Jamaica. It's lovely over there." She sported a victorious smile on her face, as she wiggled her eyebrows playfully.

"We're proud of you." Both parents said in unison. They glanced at each other, trying to stifle laughter. Just then, the doorbell rang signaling an unexpected visitor. Kiara looked at the wall, where the security camera's monitor was mounted.

It was Luca. Just when she finally had breathing space to talk to her father freely, he had to show up. It's not as if she hated him, she just didn't like him. He was weird and was always trying to get with the trends in a cringe way.

The security guard let him in, and after a few minutes, Luca showed up in their dining area, dressed in a fancy suit. He was so ripped that his suit would probably burst at any moment if he tried to flex his muscles. "Good morning everyone." He greeted with a slight bow of his head as he crossed his arms behind his back. His eyes lingered on Kiara for a couple of seconds, before he turned to face Damian.

"What's up, L-boy?" Damian cheered, as they shared a brotherly hug, patting each other's backs as if they hadn't seen one another in forever. "Well, I wouldn't want to intrude on your family time, but there's an impromptu meeting with the stakeholders that we have to attend soon."

Damian started to walk away from the table, when Kiara pulled him back by the arm, "Dad, stay home for goodness sake. You mustn't go anywhere." She huffed, angrily.

"Cara mia, I have to. This could be our last chance to sign the contract." He pleaded with his eyes, rubbing her hand gently. "I'll be back soon, I promise."

Though Kiara knew it was just a fib, he wouldn't come back early enough for them to have an actual conversation anymore. It usually ended with her fast asleep in bed, and her dad coming to kiss her goodnight once he'd gotten back. She hated the way Luca always had to intrude on their bonding time, and that was majorly the reason why she disliked him most.

Kiara and Maria watched from the table as Damian got ready, shaking their heads. Maria sighed, smacking her lips, as she rolled her eyes. She muttered something barely inaudible that even Kiara didn't hear.

After Damian and Luca left, Kiara turned to face her mother. "Do you see why I don't like him?" She complained, her eye twitching as she gripped her cutlery tightly. "DO. YOU. SEE?!" She was immensely frustrated, her voice growing louder by the second. Luca always did this, it was as if he hated seeing Damian with Kiara, cause he just wouldn't stop.

"Honey, work called. I'm sure your father wouldn't have left if it wasn't related to work," She replied, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. "I didn't want him to go either, hun." She leaned across the table, placing her hand over Kiara's and rubbing it gently, in an effort to pacify her.

"Whatever..." Kiara breathed, her eyes meeting her mum's. "I just want to twist his neck and snap it, ugh." She groaned, chewing on her leftover toast. "How do you feel about your husband leaving you for a man?" Kiara held her hand out as if holding a microphone. "Go on-"

Her words were cut off by the doorbell ringing again, but this time she couldn't see who was there. She pressed the button to talk to the security guard, "Hey. Who's there? Can't see anyone, Mabel."

"It's a man, Miss. He says he has something you might be looking for."

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

I stood in the darkest corner of the Pierre Hotel’s ballroom, my cheap polyester dress itching against my skin while my wristband buzzed with a DARPA Priority Red alert. In front of the city’s elite, my fiancé Bryce Calloway took the stage, not to toast our future, but to publicly end our engagement and announce he was with my sister, Chloe. The room turned on me instantly, a hundred pairs of eyes pinning me down with pity and disgust as they physically backed away like I was contagious. When I returned home, my mother shattered a crystal vase at my feet, screaming that I was a humiliation and a "dropout" who didn't deserve a cent of the family fortune. Chloe and Bryce mocked me, laughing when I told them I had a mission with the National Security Agency, convinced I was either a pathological liar or a low-level criminal. They watched in horror as a black, unmarked military helicopter descended on our backyard to extract me, yet they still chose to believe I was being arrested for drug trafficking. They saw a pathetic girl who couldn't even parallel park, never realizing I was Dr. Nova Vance, the lead physicist behind the world's first successful fusion reactor. To secure funding for my research and gain a "fortress" of a name, I signed a thirty-day marriage contract with the arrogant billionaire Roman Knight. He treats me like a fraud, convinced I’m a gold-digger who failed out of college, while I quietly run global energy simulations from his guest bedroom. He has no idea that the "loser" he’s forced to live with is the same anonymous grandmaster who has been ruthlessly crushing him in online strategy games for months. "The contract is active," I told him, looking past his expensive suit. "But don't expect me to be your maid."

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.
