A Bitter Marriage Contract Chapter 165
John was lying face down on the bed, still fully clothed except for his jacket and shoes, which lay discarded beside him. An almost empty bottle of whiskey sat on the floor. Bruce approached, hesitantly. The boss seemed to be sleeping soundly, overcome not only by the drink but by his own demons.“Mr. Walker…” he tried, in a low voice. No answer. “Mr. Walker…”Gradually, John opened his eyes, squinting as the light hit him. He brought his hand to his head, visibly suffering the effects of a hangover.“What time is it?” he asked, without even looking at him.“It’s past eight, sir.”“So late…” he muttered, looking around. His eyes fell on the bottle, a silent reminder of the sleepless night.“Could I ask for breakfast to be served here in the room?” Bruce asked cautiously, facing for the first time that once impenetrable man in a state of profound vulnerability.“Yes, please. I’m going to take a shower…” “I’ll be in the next room if you need anything.”John didn’t answer. He just walke

The results were immediate. There were dozens of articles about the tycoon, the business genius, the ruthless strategist, the entrepreneur who in just a few years had become one of the richest and most influential men in the world. Reports highlighted his cold-bloodedness in business, his extraordinary intelligence, and his ability to turn everything he touched into profit.But when searching for information about his personal life, what he found was speculation about his love life, always shrouded in mystery. Few mentions of his wife. No photos. No public appearances. There were photos of him alongside beautiful women; one in particular, Pamela White, appeared in several photos beside him.After a few minutes, he found an old article, dated more than three years ago:“John Walker, one of the country’s most eligible bachelors, surprises everyone by marrying in a discreet and private ceremony, restricted to a few guests. The bride’s name was not disclosed.”Steve frowned. That didn’t m

“Mr. Taylor. This is a beautiful hotel. I imagine you have great affection for it,” said the man, in a slow, cold voice.Steve didn’t like the tone, but he maintained his polite composure.“Yes, sir. This hotel has been in my family for many years.”“And do you intend to remain the owner?” The question was laced with menace.Steve furrowed his brow, not understanding where this was going.“Of course. I can’t imagine being anywhere else.”“Great. So, if you want to remain the owner, I suggest… you stay well away from my wife.”The threat was now direct. Steve stared at him, perplexed. He didn’t get involved with any married women, much less the wife of a guest. He had plenty of opportunities for that. “Sir, there must be some mistake. I don’t know you, nor your wife.”“My name is John Walker.” The name was spoken harshly, as if to convey not only respect but also fear.Steve felt a jolt of recognition. John Walker. One of the richest and most feared men in the country, known for his c

Upon arriving at the hotel, John and Bruce went straight to the room used as an office. Bruce turned on his laptop, and a few minutes later, the information began to come in. The sound of the keys being pressed seemed to echo louder than usual.John stood there impatiently, pacing back and forth with his fists clenched. The image of Elizabeth smiling at another man had unsettled him so much that he couldn’t control his breathing, and his heart ached. “His name is Steve Taylor,” said Bruce, pausing briefly before continuing. “He’s the owner of the hotel where we’re staying…”John stopped pacing and looked at Bruce in disbelief, then let out a dry, bitter laugh, as if in disbelief. He ran his hand through his hair and then across his face, clearly distraught.“It must be the irony of fate…” he muttered, and began pacing back and forth again, like a lion trapped in its own cage. “Right here. Right under my nose. It must be to punish me; there’s no other explanation.”Bruce continued to

“Didn’t you manage to reach John?” asked Roger, who was sitting on the couch reading the newspaper and had overheard the entire conversation.“Your son is impossible,” said Martha, her voice choked with anger. “He left without telling me. Not even his secretary knows where he went. Can you believe it, Roger!”“Maybe he went to meet his wife,” said Roger calmly, folding the newspaper. “Isn’t she traveling?”Martha paused for a moment, deep in thought. That made sense, and the mere possibility made her even more uneasy. She stood up and began pacing back and forth across the couple’s private living room.“Ever since he got married, he’s changed completely. He’s blinded by that insignificant little woman.”Roger sighed, watching his wife with a weary expression.“Martha, dear… John is a grown man now. One of the most respected businessmen in the world. Why do you insist on trying to control his life like this?”Martha stopped pacing, turning to face him with eyes flashing.“I only want w

Elizabeth walked with grace and lightness, as if the world around her were in slow motion. “Wow… She looks so beautiful,” Bruce whispered, enchanted, before he could stop himself.John glared at him immediately. “I must remind you, Mr. Pratt, that she is my wife,” he said with a sharpness that made the assistant blush.“I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t mean to be disrespectful.” He loved his girlfriend, but Mrs. Walker was truly very beautiful.Elizabeth looked stunning in a yellow dress with delicate white details. The lightweight fabric elegantly hugged her figure, and a sash of the same color accentuated her slender waist. Her hat, in the same shade, was adorned with a discreet white bow. Wherever she went, she drew stares, which she seemed to ignore completely.John’s heart was pounding, racing as if it were about to leap out of his mouth as he watched her approach. As he placed his hand on the door to open it, suddenly, an unexpected scene froze him in place.A man appeared with a smal
