A Bitter Marriage Contract Chapter 163
“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

ElizabethElizabeth walked unhurriedly, with that serene air she’d always had, seeming completely oblivious to the fact that, at that very moment, she was being watched by watchful eyes, cameras, and agents strategically positioned in the vicinity… and by John.Her steps were firm, determined, yet gentle. She was heading toward the main street, where, just a few blocks away, was the restaurant, her new life project.On the monitor, John watched her as if the whole world had vanished. Her every step, every gesture, was like a stab in the chest, mixed with a fascination he had never experienced before. His eyes were fixed on her, unblinking.Elizabeth turned onto the street where the restaurant was located. She slowed her pace, studying the facade, and then went inside.“I’ll watch everything from my room,” John said. As soon as he left, John went to his room, turned on his computer, and followed everything that was happeningElizabeth was forging her own path; it seemed she was determ

ElizabethThe next morning, Elizabeth woke up early. The sun had barely broken over the horizon, tinging the sky with soft shades of lilac and gold. After a quick shower, she chose a light, floral dress with a small pattern in shades of blue and white. She pulled her hair back into a delicate ponytail, tied with a white ribbon, and, as usual, carefully adjusted her hat—her favorite accessory, almost a signature of her discreet yet elegant personality.She grabbed a small handbag, checked to make sure she had everything she needed, and left the apartment. As she crossed the sidewalk, she followed her usual route, passing under the leafy canopy of the tree that, unbeknownst to her, partially obstructed the view of one of the neighborhood’s security cameras.She walked lightly to the neighborhood square, where the small, cozy church stood. The clock on the tower read almost seven in the morning. While she prayed in the sacred silence, the investigators were already moving through the s
