A Contract with the Billionaire Fifty-nine: Remorse
“What is she doing here, Ryan?” Sylvia popped the question that had been hovering in her head, regarding Selena’s presence.His ex-wife was the last person she’d expected to see in Ryan’s home and dressed scantily when he was having such relationship crises with Amelia and with all of the rumors flying around regarding his engagement with another woman. She didn’t believe Ryan would be daft enough to still be having an affair with his ex-wife in the midst of all these.“I…” Ryan tried speaking, searching for an explanation for the situation in his home, with Sylvia glaring hard at him. But the more he wracked his brain for a response, the more empty it felt. He couldn’t recall anything that had gone down the previous night.“You suddenly can’t speak?” Sylvia spat out, trying her best to control her voice and her temper because of the child in his arms.Ryan drew in a breath, closing his eyes just to be able to recall anything but nothing came to mind. Unknown to Sylvia, he was battlin

The two hours drive to the beach house had been hell, as his thoughts kept spiraling out of control, and more than once, he’d gotten cursed at by other drivers due to his reckless driving but he didn’t care. All he wanted was to be reconciled with the love of his life again.Now that he was at his destination, his heart was pounding hard against his chest for fear of how things could go down. He knew he had to thread carefully because he was tired of fighting with Amelia.

A Contract with the Billionaire Sixty-one: Love Birds
It was evening by the time Amelia and Ryan returned home. Hand in hand, they approached the door to his penthouse and he opened it with a bright smile on his face, with Amelia following behind him.“Pumpkin, mommy is home!” Ryan announced, grinning widely while pulling Amelia’s suitcase behind him.As soon as the words had left his mouth, Dora came running, grinning toothily.“Mommy!” she screamed, running to Amelia who caught her in her arms, lifting her from the ground and hugging her tightly to her chest. “I’ve missed you,” “I missed you more, baby, but I’m back now,” Amelia responded, a sad smile ghosting over her face as she recalled how she’d left Ryan’s home without considering her daughter’s welfare. She pressed her lips to her temple, closing her eyes and drawing in a deep breath. “I’ll never leave you again, honey,” she murmured.Gretchen stepped out of the kitchen at that moment. She’d been preparing dinner while keeping Dora company when they heard Ryan’s call. Without wa
A Contract with the Billionaire Sixty-two: The Engagement
Ryan’s chauffeur rolled through the gates, pulling to a stop at the garage of the Davidson’s mansion. As soon as the roaring engine died, Ryan let out a deep breath, squeezing Amelia’s fingers that were laced with his. Throughout the drive from his penthouse to his parents home, his stomach had been in knots because he knew tonight was a big night and his plans could either go very well or down the drain and give way to more chaos. Now that they’d arrived at their destination, his anxiety only grew more, his chest tightening but one look at Amelia and he knew he’d do it for her. No matter how messy things get, he’d stick with her.“Is it really necessary for me to be here?” Amelia asked, glancing at the house and forcefully swallowing the ball of anxiety in her throat.“Hey…” Ryan gently tugged on her arm and her eyes locked with his. “I need to show them I’m serious about you, and there’s no other option for me, okay?”She nodded her head, gliding her tongue across her glossy pink li
A Contract with the Billionaire Sixty-three: The Engagement 2
Ryan felt Amelia stiffen beside him and he squeezed her hand softly, tightening his hold on her. Amelia glanced around before quickly fixing her gaze on the floor, wishing the ground could open up and swallow her. She wasn’t prepared for such an elaborate party with a house filled with people and from the look on Ryan’s face, it was obvious he hadn’t also been prepared.Ryan gulped, his gaze darting around the room to see the people with smiles on their faces, clearly happy with their surprise. At first, his gaze met Emmalin, who shook her head, silently communicating to him that she hadn’t been aware of this surprise party but when his eyes landed on his mom who was walking across the room to meet him, he winced. He didn’t need a prophet to know it was all her handwork.Amelia, who had been staring at the ground suddenly heard the click of heels heading towards them and she raised her head only to see Mrs Davidson standing before them, a radiant smile etched on her face.“Happy Birth
A Contract with the Billionaire Sixty-four: The Engagement 3
The moment Amelia ran out of the room, someone had discreetly followed her as soon as the crowd was over the shock of Ryan’s announcement. She’d run out of the compound into the street without second thoughts but now that she was outside, she was beginning to second guess her decision. The street was empty, except for the lights illuminating her environment. Dread rolled down her spine, a cold shiver attacking her as she glanced around. She should have found a means to get home before running out of the house but there she was, stranded and all alone.Knowing it'd be a terrible idea to return, she began walking down the street while trying to order a Lyft but then the huge gates of the Davidson’s mansion opened and a car rolled out, driving towards her. Amelia glanced back to see it wasn’t Ryan’s and disappointment washed over her.What had she really been expecting? That he was going to abandon his entire family for her? These thoughts made her heart hurt as she was once again faced
A Contract with the Billionaire Sixty-five: Good news
Ryan was all smiles as he drove home that night, happy to share the good news with Amelia, that his family had finally accepted their union. Truly, he hadn’t expected the night to end well but after all of the obstacles, he got what he wanted. His relationship with Amelia was no longer a hidden affair, and their child would be accepted by his family.As soon as Smith pulled through the gates of the compound, he jumped down from the car, heading into the building and riding the elevator that led to his floor. A few minutes later, the elevator dinged, announcing his arrival and he stepped out, sliding his key card against the keyhole of his apartment. The door opened to reveal the living room that was eerily quiet with the lights out. He knew Grtechen must have gone home after Amelia’s arrival and that Dora was asleep already. He also knew Amelia might be asleep, as he locked the door and climbed up the stairs, with the moonlight streaming into the apartment through the windows, illumin
A Contract with the Billionaire Sixty-six: Hurt and Humiliation
Lara paced in her bedroom, blind rage and fury emanating from her. The moment Ryan had called the name of that whore as his fiance and the reactions of the people as he publicly rebuffed her lived rent-free in her head, refusing to go away. The shame and embarrassment Ryan had brought to her was so much that she wasn’t sure how she was going to ever face the public without feeling awful. Although it was late in the night, she knew that by morning the news of her humiliation would be all over the place and she couldn’t stand that. Instead of being seen as the terrible one, she’d spin the story and be the victim of Ryan’s carelessness. She was too deep in to stop at this point. She wouldn’t just let Ryan walk over her like she meant nothing.Her heart hurt more, her chest tightening, as she vividly recalled the mocking expression that had been etched on his face, right before he tore her heart to pieces without a second glance. And just when she’d thought he’d right his wrong after Amel
