The hospital smelled faintly of antiseptic and cold air, the kind of chill that sank into your bones no matter how many blankets covered you.

“By the way, Olivia,” Nathan said suddenly, his tone was professional but filled with concern. “Your body scan shows you gave birth naturally... no more than a day or two ago. What happened to the babies? And why weren’t you admitted to the same hospital? You had stitches. The doctor in charge should never have discharged you.”

His words hit like a spotlight, it was bright and inescapable. Avery and I exchanged a quick glance, one of those silent conversations only best friends can have, before turning back to him. Nathan was waiting patiently, but his eyes searched me too closely.

“Her ex-husband took them away from her,” Avery said, every word was bitten off through clenched teeth.

Nathan froze. He locked his eyes on me as if the rest of the room had fallen away.

“You were married?” His surprise was genuine and unfiltered. “Who were you marrie

  • Bad Contract with the Billionaire Devil   Where Is That Girl?

    Evelyn's POV“Come on now, Evelyn,” Dax called out, his voice muffled by the glass but chillingly calm. “Open the damn door or I’m going to smash it open. You know I don't like waiting in the cold.”The danger in his tone wasn't a bluff. Dax was a man who lived for the break; he would shatter the window and pull me through the glass without a second thought.With a frustrated growl, I reached forward and hit the unlock button. Dax didn't hesitate. He pulled the door open, slid into the back seat beside me, and slammed it shut with a sharp click.“What the fvck is this joke for, Dax?” I snapped. My voice trembled with leftover fear and new anger. “How could you trail me like a criminal? Do you have any idea what tonight has been like? Do you want to give me a stroke?!”I kept yelling, throwing every insult I could find at him, but he didn't say a word. He just sat there, his eyes; dark, calculating, and predatory, running over my body. He lingered on the emerald silk of my dress, study

  • Bad Contract with the Billionaire Devil   You?

    Evelyn's POV“First of all, her name is Olivia Brown. And yes, to answer your invasive questions, she is the biological mother of Liam's twins.”They all gasped in sharp shock, camera shutters going wild. Even my family behind me looked like they were going to pass out from the audacity of my confession.“But that is not all,” I continued, leaning into the microphones, savoring the power of the truth I was twisting. “She is a woman we hired out of pity. A surrogate who signed a contract to disappear, but who has now decided to stalk my fiancé, disrupt our lives, and use her children as leverage to extort money from the Smith family.”I added. “Tonight was not a romantic gesture; it was a desperate attempt by a disturbed woman to ruin us. And Liam... Liam only left to ensure she doesn't die on our watch, because unlike her, we have a conscience.”I paused, letting the half lie settle, painting myself as the victim and Olivia as the villain.“So print that,” I continued coldly. “And tel

  • Bad Contract with the Billionaire Devil   …Destroy The Smith Alliance!

    Evelyn's POV “Liam! Liam!”I kept screaming his name. My voice was raw and desperate, while running after him in my heels across the cold pavement of the gala entrance. But he didn't stop. He didn’t even bother looking back once. He just dove into the waiting car, slammed the door, and then he was gone, tires screeching, just like that.The asshole really left me there, humiliated in front of the entire elite society, and went to chase after that slut.“Son of a bitch!” I yelled into the frigid night air, uncaring of the curious eyes burning into my back. “Is that slut more important than me?! Is she?”My hands were clenched so tightly that I could feel my freshly manicured nails digging painfully into my palms. I was breathing harder and harder, each inhale was a sharp stab of fury, until I felt a firm hand on my shoulder. When I turned to take a look, I saw my mom, my dad, and Liam's entire family huddled together; they all looked worried and furious at the same time.“Calm down, h

  • Bad Contract with the Billionaire Devil   That little liar

    Liam's POV"Olivia nearly died tonight," I said bitterly, staring into the liquid. "Some weird, deliberate crap went down at that event… someone dared spike her drink and poison her."There was a long silence after that. We just kept drinking, the silence was thick with unspoken questions. After what felt like an eternity, I broke the quiet, needing to process the horrific facts aloud."The doctor at the public hospital told me something crazy," I said, laughing humorlessly and shaking my head. "They said Olivia's system was filled with a massive dose of synthetic aphrodisiac and some other hard substance. A damn mild poison of some crazy crap. That it reacted violently with the alcohol and messed up her entire system, and that was what caused her to have those seizures and almost lose her life.""I’m terribly sorry to hear that, sir," Vincent said carefully. His face was totally empty of any emotions but his eyes reflected concern. "I will have the entire security intelligence team s

  • Bad Contract with the Billionaire Devil   Find The Jerk Who Tried To K!ll Her!

    Liam's POV"Fvck!" I ran a hand through my hair and pointed a shaking finger at him. "An aphrodisiac and some mild poison? To a nursing mother? Are you goddamn high? Did you think I wouldn't find out?"Nathan spat a mouthful of blood onto the floor and struggled violently to get up, trying to defend himself. "I was as shocked as you are when I first found out, you idiot!" he yelled. His voice was raw. "I would never do something that repulsive to Olivia! I care about her! I–""Spare me that crap!" I backed him up against the cold wall, my body pressed into his space. "I warned you to stay the fvck away from her, but you never listened, because all you wanted was to screw her! To get into her pants! But you better watch out, Rodway… you've just permanently stamped your name into my black book. And trust me, that isn't where you want to be."I shoved him away one last time, tossing him aside like a piece of worthless garbage, and sat back down at the edge of the bed. I touched Olivia's

  • Bad Contract with the Billionaire Devil   Massive Dose Of Aphrodisiac

    Liam's POV"I didn't do anything to her!" Nathan tried to shove my hand away from his neck, but I gripped him tighter, cutting off his air supply. "I went up for a while to speak to my family, and then when I came back she was already convulsing on the floor! I was trying to help her!"I laughed, the sound was hollow and menacing, and slammed his back against the wall again. He groaned and twisted his face in excruciating pain. But I wasn't done. My fingers wrapped even tighter around his neck, choking him while I leaned closer to his face. I made sure he felt the hotness of my breath, the intensity of my rage."You better be ready for me, buttface," I spat, watching the panic rise in his eyes. "If anything should happen to Olivia because of you…" I let him get a taste of fear, allowing his lungs to burn, before I continued, "I’m gonna come back and end you. Slowly. Painfully.""Let go of me, Liam!" he forced the words out in a ragged gasp. His eyes were red, bulging slightly."Mark m
