Damien drove through the gates of the Cole mansion with his hands firmly gripping the steering wheel. His grandfather's last words kept repeating in his head.

She's in more danger than you realize.

He had heard his grandfather speak about enemies, business rivals and threats countless times, but there had been something different in his voice tonight.

Fear.

Damien stepped out of the car and walked into the mansion without waiting for anyone to greet him. His grandfather was already in the study

  • A contract Wife    chapter ten

    The next morning, Sophia woke up to the sound of her phone vibrating repeatedly on the bedside table.She reached for it without opening her eyes, expecting Serena to be calling her. Instead, she found several missed calls from an unknown number and dozens of messages from different people.Sophia frowned as she unlocked her phone. The first message made her sit upright.“Is it true?”Another one followed.“Congratulations, Sophia!”Then another.“Girl, when were you going to tell us you were marrying Damien Cole?”Sophia stared at the screen, completely confused.“What?”She quickly opened her social media account. Her heart nearly stopped.The headline was everywhere.BILLIONAIRE DAMIEN COLE TO MARRY MYSTERIOUS WOMAN IN PRIVATE CEREMONY.Another headline appeared beneath it.COLE FAMILY HEIR FINALLY SET TO TIE THE KNOT.Sophia's eyes widened as she clicked on the article.There was a photograph of Damien leaving Cole Enterprises the previous evening.The article claimed that the wom

  • A contract Wife    Chapter nine

    Damien drove through the gates of the Cole mansion with his hands firmly gripping the steering wheel. His grandfather's last words kept repeating in his head.She's in more danger than you realize.He had heard his grandfather speak about enemies, business rivals and threats countless times, but there had been something different in his voice tonight.Fear.Damien stepped out of the car and walked into the mansion without waiting for anyone to greet him. His grandfather was already in the study, standing beside the large desk with an old brown envelope in his hand.“You came alone?” his grandfather asked.“Yes.”“Where is Sophia?”“At my apartment.”His grandfather's expression changed. “You left her alone?”“She has security.” Damien replied.“That isn't what I asked.” the old man said, squeezing his brows. Damien frowned. “What is going on?”His grandfather held out the envelope. “Close the door.”Damien did as he was told, then turned back toward him. “What did you find?”His gran

  • A contract Wife    chapter eight

    Damien stared at the message on his phone, his fingers tightening around the device as he read it for the third time. You should never have married Richard Reed's daughter. His jaw clenched. A second message appeared almost immediately. She will destroy everything your family built. Damien's expression darkened. Whoever had sent the messages knew about Sophia, knew about Richard Reed, and somehow knew about the marriage before anyone outside his family should have known. He immediately called Nathan. “Where are you?” “Outside the building, sir.” “Get to the hospital.” Nathan's voice changed. “The hospital?” “Yes. Sophia's sister.” “Is there a problem?” “Someone was asking questions about her.” There was a short silence before Nathan asked, “Who?” “Fiona.” Nathan hesitated. “Are you sure?” “My grandfather just confirmed it.” “I'll check immediately.” “Don't let anyone know you're investigating,” Damien ordered, his eyes still fixed on the threatening message. “Unders

    Sophia barely slept that night. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the photographs Damien had shown her.Her apartment, Her sister at the hospital and Her jewelry workshop.Someone had been watching them but that wasn't the only thing keeping her awake.The contract was sitting on her bedside table. Sophia stared at it from across the room.One year.One year of pretending to be Damien Cole's wife.One year of living under the same roof as the man who had broken her heart.One year of smiling beside him in public while knowing their marriage was nothing more than a business arrangement.She rubbed her forehead. “This is crazy.”Her phone buzzed and She looked at the screen. It was a message from the hospital.Your sister's surgery has been scheduled for Monday. Sophia's heart jumped.Monday.That was only three days away.She immediately called the hospital.“Hello, I'm Sophia Reed. I received a message about my sister's surgery.”The nurse confirmed the details.“Yes, everything

    Sophia stared at Damien as if she had never seen him before.“That person will come after me next?”Damien didn't answer immediately. She slammed her palm against the table.“Don't do that!”His eyes returned to hers. “Do what?”“Say something terrifying and then sit there like it means nothing. Who betrayed my father?”“I don't know.”“You expect me to believe that?”“Yes.”“You're lying.”“I've lied to you before,” Damien said quietly. “I'm not going to lie about this.”Sophia's chest tightened. She looked down at the contract again, then back at him.“My father died believing everyone had abandoned him. He lost his company. He lost his home. He lost everything. My mother spent years blaming herself for not being able to help him, and now you're sitting here telling me someone deliberately destroyed him?”“Yes.”“And your family was involved?” she asked Damien raised his brows, “Someone connected to my family was involved.” “That is not the same thing.”“No, it isn't.”“Then tell

    Sophia couldn't speak. For several seconds, she simply held the phone against her ear, wondering if she had heard Nathan correctly. “Excuse me?” Nathan remained calm. “Mr. Cole wants you to marry him.” Sophia let out a short, disbelieving laugh. “You must be joking.” “I assure you, I'm not.” “After what happened tonight?” “I understand why you're surprised.” “Surprised?” Sophia's voice rose. “Nathan, I just caught Damien in bed with another woman. He told me our entire relationship was a bet. He humiliated me in front of his fiancée, and now you're calling me to tell me he wants to marry me?” “I know how it sounds.” “It sounds insane.” Nathan sighed quietly. “I agree that the timing is difficult.” “Difficult?” Sophia laughed bitterly. “That's the nicest way anyone has ever described a disaster.” Nathan didn't argue. Sophia paced across her room, gripping her phone tightly. “Tell him no.” “I can't do that.” “Then tell him to call me himself.” “He will explain everything
