Liam was a lot of nasty things, but one thing he never did during our marriage was raise his hand against me. He was a devil, sure… but not a wife beater. His tongue was sharp enough to do the dirty work on its own.

“That’s not true,” I snapped. “My babies are alive. They’re not dead! And Liam never hit me, not once!”

Nancy only blinked at me, then patted my arm like I was a lost child. “Of course, dear. You take care.”

Her pity clung to my skin like dirt.

A few blocks down, Mr. Evans from the hardware store stopped me. His weathered face was lined with concern, but his words stabbed just as deep as hers.

“Heard about your loss, Olivia. Tough break. Your folks said you… kinda lost it after.” He sighed softly, then his voice dropped lower. “Don’t worry, you’ll heal up quicker than you think. My wife and I did, back in the ’80s, when we lost our firstborn girl right after birth. What matters now is finding a decent man, not chasing junkies.”

“My babies aren’t dead!” The words ripped out

  • Bad Contract with the Billionaire Devil   Cinderella Moment

    Olivia's POVI really didn't want to go, thinking about the risk of being humiliated in such a place. But Avery didn't seem like she was ready to let me off the hook. She gave me back the phone, and I saw that Nathan was still patiently holding the line."Nathan?" I said quietly, so low that I doubted he was going to hear me.But he did."Hey," he replied instantly. "Don't sweat it, okay? I was only–""I'll go with you," I cut him off, making the decision before I could talk myself out of it."You will?" He sounded thrilled, surprised, and relieved all at the same time.I nodded, avoiding Avery's triumphant eyes. "Yes, I will."Silence again.I didn't hear him say a word, but I could hear him breathing pretty hard now."Are you there?" I asked."Oh. Yeah, yeah! I was just… processing! You know what? Take a cab from where you are now to Le Fleur Boutique downtown. It's one of my sister’s favorite places. I'll meet you there and we’ll get you sorted out.""Okay."As soon as the call end

  • Bad Contract with the Billionaire Devil   Be My Date Tonight

    Olivia's POVI took the phone from Avery, and my heart immediately skipped a beat. The name staring back at me was someone I hadn’t expected to hear from right now:Nathan Rodway.I had been so caught up in the drama of Liam, Evelyn, and the twins that I had completely forgotten about Nathan or his brother, Justin."Aren't you gonna answer that?" Avery raised an eyebrow and smirked, her face was a mixture of curiosity and mischief. "You know, he had been calling for hours now. But I thought he gave up already when I didn't pick up."I bit my lip and stared at the screen. My mind was racing. What was I going to say? I wasn't sure what to say to him after the strange things that happened, or was happening. I put down the phone when it stopped ringing. But then it started buzzing again almost immediately. I looked at the screen; it was the same name."Oh, come on, Liv. Just answer the poor guy, okay?" Avery insisted, nudging my arm gently. "He's obviously worried about you. He called bac

  • Bad Contract with the Billionaire Devil   Look at the name

    Olivia's POV"I asked them to run a little errand for me," Evelyn said with a dismissive dark smile. "It’s urgent business. You don't need to mind them, they just need to move quickly."Even though Evelyn said they shouldn't mind us, they all did anyway. Especially Liam. His dark eyes drilled into me before shifting to Evelyn, a deep suspicion seemed to settle in their depths."Let's go," I whispered urgently to Cassie, pulling her toward the door.I swallowed hard as we slipped out, trying to melt into the woodwork. But I could feel their eyes burning into the back of my head; a mixture of scrutiny and disdain.Even though their looks were nasty, I was overwhelmingly glad that at least Evelyn let me go.But I was worried, though.“I hope she won't try anything funny once I'm ready to switch back?” I thought. My mind raced.The terrifying thought of her making my life even more miserable was something that never left me. It was Evelyn, after all. The evil witch from the west.---As s

  • Bad Contract with the Billionaire Devil   A Terrible Idea

    Olivia's POV "Hear me out, will you?" I rolled my eyes at their over-the-top reaction. "My friend Avery called. That's who I'm meeting. So I want you to come with me so that you can–""Absolutely not!" Cassie screamed at me, her fists balled tightly at her sides. "How dare you even suggest that I do anything for you?"Evelyn ignored Cassie and tossed her maid uniform at me. I quickly started stripping and putting it on, while she grabbed a clean, black silk robe from the closet. I could see the pure evilness of the real Evelyn; it was back, and she looked like she loved being back and was already planning the chaos she was going to cause."Look," I adjusted the blonde wig I switched out with Evelyn's hair piece. "I want my friend back here with me. So you, Cassie, are going to help me make her look like the housekeeper she pretends to be."I then turned to Evelyn and looked her fiercely in the eye. "What I need you to do is to make sure that everything goes smoothly. If anyone should

  • Bad Contract with the Billionaire Devil   We Don't Have Much Time

    Olivia's POVMoore held out a black phone and said, "It's a call from someone named Rachel, ma'am.""Rachel?" I said, almost to myself. My heart gave a hard thump.“Could it be Avery?” I thought, but I didn't let my shock show.Moore added anyway. "She said she would like to see you urgently. She said she's waiting at The Silver Spoon coffee shop downtown. She mentioned she's your assistant and that there's something critical she has to discuss with you."Of course there was. If it was Avery, she could never come to the estate in her original face; she would get caught immediately. The only way would be for me to go meet her.I was so happy to hear that news. Avery was the only one who could help me manage this disaster.I quickly left the nursery, promising the nannies I would be back soon, and went over to Liam's massive walk-in closet in his bedroom wing. There was already a dedicated section for me, or rather, for Evelyn. I sighed as I went through the racks of clothes stocked the

  • Bad Contract with the Billionaire Devil   An Urgent Call For You

    Olivia's POV “Why can't we have sex, Olivia?”“Um, I... I'm on my period, okay?!”I exhaled sharply, the excuse sounded hollow even to my own ears, but it was the only thing I could think of. I didn't dare look at his face. But I heard him sigh deeply, a sound of heavy frustration, before he picked up my chin with a gentle but firm grip, forcing my face to look at him."Is it... the blood thing?" he asked. His voice was now serious and concerned, the dominance was replaced by a strange tenderness.I bit my lip harder and nodded, waiting for the storm of disappointment.Liam searched my face for a moment, his dark eyes were analyzing my every twitch, before he finally cursed hard. "Damn it!" He released my chin and looked down between us, then back up at my face, a vein ticking in his temple. "Why the hell would you come up with such a huge idea when you knew you wouldn't be able to go through with it immediately? Why not wait until it's all clear from red?"I reached out and traced m
