Married As His Contractual Wife, Now He Spoils Me Silly!
Avery Winters was devastated when her husband, Caden Brooks, CEO of Brook Group, ended their five years marriage due to her PCOS(Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) diagnosis, and claiming it was her inability to bear an heir for him.
He pursued a new partner instead, Avery's stepsister, Ember Winters, believing her to be the woman he had been searching for— the one who saved him from drowning years ago.
Avery accepted the divorce and left, only to receive a life changing call— she was the rightful heir to her late uncle's company, but with a condition: she must marry Bernard Reed, a powerful mafia leader and CEO of Reed Empire.
As Avery and Bernard's relationship become stronger, their pasts resurfaced. Caden desperately wanted a second chance after realizing the truth, while Bernard's Ex, Hazel, also returned with a child, claiming Bernard was the father.
Both Exes were determined to disrupt their relationship, putting Avery and Bernard's love to test. Hazel would stop at nothing to win Bernard back, and her return with a child in hand escalated the situation.

Chapter: Chapter 124AVERY WINTERS Even though wasn't here, I'm still not comfortable with the fact that I'm in the same space with Caden, and talking to him. If Ben gets to know about this, he might misunderstood the situation and even do something crazy. We had come here to have fun and forget about everything, I wouldn't want us to start having issues again.We got into the car ,and I did the driving this time around. But, there was no amount of questions my friends asked, that I reply to any of it. I didn't want to talk about it now, and I'm glad they didn't push it too. Harper, especially..The drive back home was kind of fast, and just 35 minutes later, we're back home. Bernard, Caleb, Ezra and Asher walked closer, as soon as we stepped out of the car. "What took you guys so long? I almost thought something had happened," Bernard said, hugging me and kissing me on the lips."It's not our fault, brother. Avery bumped into someone," Harper began to explain. "What was his name again? Ca-" Before

Chapter: Chapter 123AVERY WINTERS "What do you mean, no?" I asked, raising a brow, my gaze darting between them."There's no way I'm going to let you leave the house all by yourself, driving for forty minutes.""I'm not going alone, Ben. I have the girls with me. Besides, I can do the driving while going, and when coming back, Harper, Ashley or Charlotte can take over too," I reasoned.After a lot of persuasion and everything, they finally let us go to the market to buy the food stuffs. Plus, a time frame too. Bernard gave us time to return back home.Right now, I'm going with Harper and Charlotte. While Scarlet is expected to stay back and relax, as she had suddenly started complaining of weakness.While Harper took the driving spot, I took the back seat and Charlotte took the passenger seat."To be honest, Avery, you're so lucky to have someone like Bernard as your husband," Charlotte said, breaking ge silence in the car.I raised a brow, staring at her amusingly. "Why did you say that?""Did you se

Chapter: Chapter 122AVERY WINTERS "What?!!" Charlotte gasped, her eyes widening in horror as her eyes darted between us. Weirdly, or should I say... coincidentally, we all found ourselves in the living room and it's already past 3 AM. I only came downstairs to get a water to drink, as I was finding it hard to sleep... which I didn't even know why. But, as soon as I headed downstairs, and walked into the living room, I met Ivy, Ashley and Charlotte in the living room.Just Harper and Scarlet were still in their room, sleeping soundly. It turned out... they all couldn't sleep too. However, after a few minutes, Scarlet joined us too. And guess what she came to do? TO EAT!!This is someone who hardly eat... always eating small portion of food. But now, I'm beginning to doubt if she's really the girl I know, or could there be something wrong with her?— I thought, a bit concern about her sudden change. I wondered why she's always hungry now. And.... to the reason why Charlotte just exclaimed. Well....

Chapter: Chapter 121AVERY WINTERSEverywhere became silent afterward, as Harper began to press her phone, while Bernard and Hazel fall asleep. I know he needed it though, because he hardly sleep. He was always busy with work and work every time. I helped reclined his seat so he can relax properly and won't feel any numbness when he wake up. A few hours passed, and Ezra's car came to a halt again. I stopped mine too, right close behind them because they'd already overtook us. While Caleb's car parked right behind us.I wondered what it is this time around— I thought, looking around and taking in our surrounding. Everywhere was filled with trees and empty land. So, I doubt if this is about Scarlet wanting to order for a food again. "This isn't about Scarlet again, is it?" Harper asked, teasingly. We both laugh, and I shook my head. Bernard was already deep asleep, but I didn't know how he came to know that the car had stopped moving. He opened his eyes and sits up straight. "Babe, is everything oka

Chapter: Chapter 120AVERY WINTERS"Alright ladies, y'all can continue with this later. But for now, we really need to leave. Time is running," Ezra said.Initially, we were supposed to go with just three cars. Bernard and I, Asher and his girl in the same car. Then, Ezra, Scarlet and Harper in same car also. While Ivy, Caleb and Ashley entered the same car. But now, with Hazel wanting to tag along....And, before we could realize what was happening, Hazel had suddenly stopped the maids that were trying to fix our bags in the boot. "Wait, wait, wait... What are you doing?" She asked, walking closer to them. "You shouldn't put this here, you should put mine here Instead," she added, bringing out Asher and Charlotte's stuff. And then, ordered the maids to take it into the other car.We all stared at her amusingly, and I swear, I just want to beat the hell out of now."I apologise, Charlotte, but I hope you can understand though. It was a mistake from the maids. You were supposed to take the other car with

Chapter: Chapter 119AVERY WINTERS"What the hell are you doing here?" Bernard asked, his voice laced with coldness.She dropped the bag on the floor and walked closer to us. "Bernard, what do you mean, what am I doing here? Of course, I'm here to follow you guys to the vacation trip," she answered, faking an innocent look with a smiling face.She paused for a moment, stared at each of our faces in bewilderment, before continuing again. "Wait, you don't expect me not to come with you guys, do you?" she asked again, her gaze still darting between us with a raised brow.I still don't understand... What in the world is going on here? How is she suddenly here with bags in her hands? How did she even know that we will be going for a vacation? No one told her anything, right?As Harper tried to speak, Hazel quickly rushed over to Bernard's side and grasped his left arm in a pleading gesture, clutching onto it tightly as if her life depend on it. "Ben, you don't plan on leaving only me behind, do you?" She asked

Chapter: Chapter 18CHRISTIAN SANTIAGOI stormed out of the room angrily, the door slamming hard behind me with a loud bang.I felt Katherine's presence behind me, the door clicked open and slammed shut, as she also stormed out of the room too. "Christian, aren't you the one I'm talking to?" She demanded, her voice laced with frustration and anger as she marched behind me.And when I didn't respond, she suddenly grasped my hand, turning me to face her with a force that almost made me to stumble, if I wasn't really that strong.I turned to a fierce look plastering on her face, her eyes blazing with anger. Myself, on the other hand, didn't back down either. My expression was as cold as an ice, my eyes also flashing with frustration. "There's nothing to talk about, Katherine. Just let Victoria and Aaron be," I said, my tone dismissive. " How many fucking times do I need to repeat that to you?"I just want peace! That's all I fucking need right now. But since Aaron had left the house for the second time t

Chapter: Chapter 17VICTORIA HENSHAWThe team members from the Blackwood Empire and Alex gathered for the pre-race meeting with the Speed Star Company team.We were seated across from each other, in separate meeting room, and the only thing separating us was the transparent, glass door. The tension evident as we prepared to discuss the event details.I heard it was a standard procedure— for competitors to meet like this before the big event day. We were all eyeing for the top spot, after all. This is the biggest, national racing competition of the year, and one of these two companies would first at the end of the day. It's all over the news that the Speed Star Company has been topping over the past few years.But now, the Blackwood Empire has become not only their competitor, but their rival as we announced our aim of reaching the top three in the upcoming race. I tried to focus on the discussion, but my attention was diverted by a pair of eyes lingering on me from across the room... And also, in the

Chapter: Chapter 16VICTORIA HENSHAWTHE NEXT MORNING My hands hands moved with a mix of tenderness and urgency as I packed my stuffs and Aaron's into the traveling bag.I felt so relieved that my shopping with Gwen yesterday actually worth it— it ended up giving a few adorable outfits for Aaron.I was surprised, in fact, it was a pleasant one because my original intention had been to gift the clothes to him. But, I didn't know I would be needing them sooner than expected. Anyways, I'm glad I got them. Else it would be hard for me to get Aaron a new pairs of clothes over there. As I continued arranging our clothes in the bag, my gaze drifted to Aaron, who's been giggling, his face gleaming with excitement as he jumps up and down around the house— probably happy that he's traveling with me.My heart surge with love and admiration as I stared at him, couldn't help it but to smile. Immediately I finished packing, Aaron ran back to me, his eyes open with anticipation. "Mommy, are you done? Are we leavin

Chapter: Chapter 15VICTORIA HENSHAW I stabbed the lettuce in front of me with my fork aggressively, my expression still frowning as I recounted the earlier encounter with Mason and Alexander. "Can you at least spare the innocent food?" Gwen asked, teasingly. Then, she burst into laughter again, nearly choking on her wine.I glared at her, feeling frustrated about the whole thing. "It's not funny, Gwen," I said, trying to sound firm. I had just finished telling her about what happened at the office, and she was having joy teasing me me about it.She shook her head, still chuckling. "Trust me, it is funny," she said. "Well, if you'll ask me, I would say maybe he's jealous or something." I rolled my eyes, shaking my head. "There's nothing like that in his book. He's just.... I don't know. Should I say, complicated?"Gwen leaned in, her expression turning curious as one of her brow arched up. "Just spill it. What's going on between you two?"I frowned again. "And what do you mean by that?""That's beca

Chapter: Chapter 14VICTORIA HENSHAWI sauntered downstairs, all dressed up and ready to leave for work, even though the weight of yesterday’s confrontation altercation with my parents still lingered. Gwen looked up from the food set on the dining table, her brow furrowed with concern as she looked at me. “Vicky, do you really have to go to work today? Can’t you just call in sick?” She asked, her voice laced with worry. I knew she was still worried and shaken by my breakdown last night. But I’m all okay now. I need to continue with my daily activity. I can’t swim myself im the ocean of worry, all because I wasn’t treated right by the people I called family. Life has to go on. I flashed her a reassuring smile, that even myself didn’t quite feel. “Don’t worry about me, Gwen. I’m fine, really.”She didn’t look convinced, but decided to drop it, which I’m glad she did. But, she was still persistent, her eyes searching mind as she asked again. “You didn’t forget to take your drugs with you, right? Just

Chapter: Chapter 13VICTORIA HENSHAWHe didn’t stopped there. He continued to speak, his words cutting deep, and his expression twisting in disappointment. “I’m so disappointed in you. After all the nonsense you’ve done, you still feel you have the right to make a choice?” He asked, his tone astonishing. “Not only have you stole your sister’s man, you hurt her deeply too. And because of your silly, irresponsible action, we didn’t see her for good three years!”“Despite all of this, you still can’t earn a decent living to take care of us, nor have you had a child of your own. That boy worked so hard to build a career, and give you a better life, without complaining about your childlessness,”“And instead of being grateful, you behaved so recklessly and childishly, determined to ruin all his efforts by making him a laughing stock in front of the whole world? You think you can just wake up one day, decide to divorce him, and we’d accept that?”He shook his head, his eyes filled with disdain. “You’re noth
