2021-07-20 12:51:02On the other side of the road at a distance, a young man was coming out of a luxurious restaurant, it was the Blue Eagle Restaurant. Only the wealthiest could afford a meal at this restaurant. He walked towards a very expensive and oppressive car, followed closely by two other men. This were his body guards, dressed in black suits. One could tell from a distance that they were highly trained to keep their boss safe.
One of the men rushed forward and opened the rare door for the young man, he then closed the door carefully and went for the driver's seat. The other body guard looked around several times and stepped into the passenger side and the car left the premises.
A short distance from the restaurant, there was a commotion and a crowd of people had gathered and were whispering among themselves, a young lady waving frantically caught the attention of the young man and he ordered the driver to stop. He stepped out of the car and the scene that met him made him freeze where he was.
There was a middle aged man lying on the ground filled with blood and still bleeding, he was unconscious at the verge of death. The lady beside him was crying, begging for him to help her.
"Please sir, my dad is dying. I beg you please, help me take him to the hospital."
Those around started murmuring, "isn't he president Maxwell of the Blue Eagle companies?" " What is this girl doing, she should move out of the way."
She didn't care what they were saying, all she needed was help and soon. The young man came back to his senses, he rushed forward and listened to the man's pulse, then ordered the bodyguard to put him in the car, he opened the door for the lady and they drove off to the best hospital in the whole city.
"Miss, can you hear me?" She was brought back to the present by the receptionist who was now holding her hand talking to her. "Miss, I need you to fill the admission form, can you do it?"
"Yes" she answered after wiping her tears.
" What is the patient's name?"
"Sage Davis"
"And you are.."
"Anne Davis, his daughter"
After a series of questions the form was filled. Anne had by now stopped crying and was waiting for the surgery to end so that she could see her father again.. she kept praying in her heart, hoping that nothing happens to him. Then she remembered something, she looked at the receptionist who was busy on her computer. " Have you seen the man who brought my dad and me here?" She had not even remembered to thank him.
" He left immediately, said he had a meeting and could not wait so he left his card for you." She handed her the card and went back to her work
Anne looked at the card,
Luke Maxwell
Blue Eagle co-operation
A series of numbers followed. Where had she heard of that name? She tried to remember. Two years ago, she had applied for a job at a Blue Eagle company, she did the interview but was never called back for the job. It was her dream to work for the Blue Eagle but she never got the job. Was this man from the Blue Eagle?
She was interrupted by doctors coming out of the intesive care unit. They looked tired, obviously from the surgery they had just completed.

A YEAR'S CONTRACT : Mr billionaire's wedding 58. The Final Battle
The tension in the air was palpable as the day finally arrived. The culmination of months of turmoil, battles fought behind closed doors, and alliances built for the inevitable confrontation with Sinclair. Luke and I sat in the back of the black SUV, the silence between us not from distance but from shared anticipation. Our hands were tightly clasped, offering one another the strength we knew we'd need. The court hearing would begin soon. Sinclair had pulled every dirty trick in the book, but now it was his turn to face the consequences. With my family united behind us, and Luke’s resources and power, we had built an impenetrable defense. But Sinclair was cunning, and he had proven time and again that he wouldn’t go down without a fight. As we pulled up to the courthouse, the scene was chaotic—reporters, camera crews, and onlookers packed the sidewalk, pushing against the barriers the police had set up. A swarm of paparazzi aimed their lenses directly at us, hoping for a shot that
A YEAR'S CONTRACT : Mr billionaire's wedding 57: The power of Family
Luke's pov The morning sun filtered through the windows, casting a warm glow over the mansion, but the atmosphere was still thick with the tension from the days before. Anne hadn’t said much since her mother’s press conference. Her emotions were a tangled mess of relief, anxiety, and anticipation. As I sat across from her at the breakfast table, I could see the exhaustion in her eyes. She looked up at me, offering a small, tired smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes. “What happens next?” she asked softly, her fingers playing absentmindedly with the edge of her mug. “We fight,” I said firmly. “We fight Sinclair, and we protect our family.” The weight of the situation hung heavy over both of us, but before we could delve deeper into the conversation, the sound of the doorbell interrupted us. I frowned, glancing at Anne, who shrugged. “I’ll get it,” I said, standing up and heading to the door. When I opened it, I was greeted by a group of impeccably dressed individuals, their pre
A YEAR'S CONTRACT : Mr billionaire's wedding 56: Rising from the Ashes
Luke's pov The next morning was quiet. The calm before the inevitable storm. Anne hadn’t left the house since the news broke, and I could feel the weight of everything crushing her. She was barely holding it together, and despite my best efforts to reassure her, I knew that every headline, every comment, every call was slowly chipping away at her strength. I couldn’t take it anymore. As much as I wanted to protect her, I felt helpless. The media wasn’t letting up. My parents were still furious, and Sinclair’s threats lingered like a shadow over us. But then, something happened that I hadn’t expected—something that would change the course of everything. The doorbell rang late in the morning, and I got up to answer it, expecting it to be another delivery of hateful letters or packages. Instead, when I opened the door, I found myself face-to-face with Anne’s mother, Margaret Devlin, the celebrity idol whose face was known worldwide. Today, though, she wasn’t the radiant, glamo
A YEAR'S CONTRACT : Mr billionaire's wedding 55: exposed
Luke's pov The world as I knew it crumbled overnight.I woke up to my phone vibrating relentlessly on the nightstand. It was still dark outside, and Anne was sound asleep beside me. When I grabbed the phone and glanced at the screen, I saw dozens of missed calls and messages, all from people I hadn’t heard from in years, along with the names of close friends, business associates, and—most concerningly—my parents.My stomach twisted as I opened one of the messages from Calla.**Calla:** *We have a problem. Check the news. Stay calm.*The words made my heart race, and I immediately swiped over to my news app. The first headline I saw hit me like a punch to the gut.**BREAKING NEWS: LUKE MAXWELL’S SECRET CONTRACT MARRIAGE EXPOSED! WIFE ACCUSED OF BEING A GOLDDIGGER.**I blinked, trying to process what I was seeing. It couldn’t be real. But it was. Below the headline was a photo of Anne and me, walking out of the courthouse on the day we signed the marriage papers. The article went into
A YEAR'S CONTRACT : Mr billionaire's wedding 54: A war on two fronts
Luke's pov I didn’t sleep much after the call from Sinclair. How could I? His words echoed in my mind, a sinister taunt that made my blood run cold. The way he so casually threatened Anne—and the baby—was a reminder that I was dealing with someone who had no moral lines. Someone who wouldn’t hesitate to destroy everything I cared about. By the time the sun rose, I was still sitting at my desk, staring at the half-empty glass of scotch in front of me. My head was pounding, and every muscle in my body was tense, ready to spring into action. But what action? That was the problem. I had no idea what Sinclair’s next move would be. The only thing I knew for sure was that I couldn’t let Anne find out about the call. Not yet. She had enough on her plate—dealing with her mother’s secrets, mourning her father, and now, the pregnancy. She didn’t need the added stress of knowing that Sinclair was threatening her life. I was going to have to handle this alone. --- Later that morning, after
A YEAR'S CONTRACT : Mr billionaire's wedding 53: protecting what matters
Luke's pov I’ve faced plenty of high-stakes situations in my life. Boardroom battles, complex negotiations, moments where millions of dollars rested on a single decision. But nothing, not even the pressure of running Maxwell Industries, and the Blue eagle companies compared to what I was facing now. Anne is pregnant. It’s a fact that hasn’t fully sunk in, no matter how many times I’ve turned it over in my mind. My wife—no, my partner—is carrying our child. A life we created together, in the middle of all this chaos. I never thought fatherhood would come to me like this. Hell, I never thought about fatherhood at all. But now it’s happening, and I have no choice but to figure it out. The moment Anne showed me that pregnancy test, something inside me shifted. A primal need to protect her, to protect our unborn child, kicked in. It was like every other concern I’d had before—the company, the threats we were facing, Sinclair—became secondary. The most important thing in the world was
