🏢 Adrian’s Office — Midday

Ammie knocked once.

“Come in.”

She stepped in, posture straight, expression composed.

Adrian was already seated behind his desk, going through a stack of documents. He didn’t look up immediately.

“Sit,” he said.

Ammie took the seat opposite him, placing her tablet neatly on the table.

A few seconds passed before he finally pushed a file toward her.

“Quarterly projections,” he said. “Review the revised figures.”

Ammie opened it carefully.

Charts. Numbers. Adjustments.

  • Bound by Contract: Healed by Love   Chapter fifty: The Choice That Changes Everything

    The day of discharge came quicker than expected.Morning light filled the hospital room, soft and calm, but Ammie didn’t feel calm.She sat at the edge of the bed, already dressed, her small bag beside her.Her fingers were restless.Her thoughts louder than everything else.This wasn’t just about leaving the hospital.It was about where she was going next.---Adrian stood by the window again.Same position.Different silence.He hadn’t asked her anything since the night before.Not where she had decided to go.Not what she wanted.And somehow—That made it harder.---“You’re ready?” he asked finally, turning to her.Ammie nodded slowly.“Yeah.”Silence.Then he picked up her bag before she could.“I’ll take this.”She didn’t argue.---The walk out of the hospital felt longer than it should have.Blue was there.Her mum.Her dad.Everyone waiting.Everyone watching.---“Ammie,” her mum called softly, moving toward her.Ammie smiled faintly.“I’m okay,” she said.Her mother still h

  • Bound by Contract: Healed by Love   Chapter Forty-nine: Not Contract Anymore

    The hospital room felt different that afternoon.Quieter.But not peaceful.Not completely.Because beneath everything—There was tension.Unspoken.Growing.---Ammie sat up slightly against the pillows, a tray of untouched food in front of her.She wasn’t hungry.Her mind wouldn’t let her be.Across the room—Adrian stood by the window, phone in his hand, speaking in a low voice.“…I don’t care how long it takes,” he said. “Get it done today.”A pause.Then—“And make sure the house is ready.”He ended the call.Turned.And saw her watching him.---“You should eat,” he said, walking closer.“I’m not hungry,” Ammie replied.He didn’t argue.He just pulled the chair closer and sat.“…You need to,” he said softly.“For your strength.”Her eyes dropped briefly to her stomach.Then back to him.“I’ll eat later.”---Silence stretched between them.Not empty.Just… careful.---“What house?” she asked suddenly.Adrian didn’t look surprised.“I’m arranging somewhere else,” he said.“For y

  • Bound by Contract: Healed by Love   Chapter Forty-eight: What Comes After Staying

    Morning came slowly.Soft light slipped through the hospital curtains, settling gently across the room.Ammie was awake.Not fully strong—but present.And this time, when she opened her eyes—She didn’t panic.Because Adrian was still there.Exactly where he promised to be.Sitting beside her.Head slightly tilted, like he had drifted into a light sleep.But his hand—Still wrapped around hers.Like even in sleep, he refused to let go.---Ammie watched him quietly.Her eyes tracing his face.The tiredness.The softness.The part of him she hadn’t seen in a long time.“…You stayed,” she whispered.Adrian stirred slightly.Then his eyes opened.The moment he saw her looking at him—Everything in his expression changed.Softened.“You’re awake,” he said gently.“I didn’t go anywhere.”A small silence followed.Then Ammie asked, quietly—“…Did you sleep here?”Adrian gave a faint smile.“Not really.”She almost smiled.Almost.---A nurse came in briefly, checking her vitals, adjusting a

  • Bound by Contract: Healed by Love   Chapter Forty-seven:When She Finally Open her Eyes

    The room was quiet.Only the soft beeping of the monitor filled the space, steady and calm—like it was the only thing holding everything together.Adrian hadn’t moved.Not for hours.He sat beside the bed, one hand wrapped gently around Ammie’s, his thumb brushing softly over her skin like he was afraid she might disappear if he stopped touching her.His eyes were tired.Red.But he refused to leave.“…You always do this,” he murmured quietly. “You go through things alone… and still act strong.”His gaze stayed on her face.Pale.Too still.“I’m here now,” he added softly. “I’m not going anywhere again.”Silence.He exhaled slowly, leaning back slightly but not letting go of her hand.“…I remember everything,” he said again, almost like he needed her to hear it even in her sleep. “Every fight… every moment… every time I hurt you.”His jaw tightened.“I remember the night I told myself this was just a contract…” he continued. “And how that was the biggest lie I ever told.”His voice dr

  • Bound by Contract: Healed by Love   Chapter Forty-six: The Truth he Wasn't Ready For

    Blue stood frozen in the hospital corridor, the doctor’s words still ringing in her ears.We need the father.Her fingers tightened around her phone.She didn’t want to call him.Not after everything.Not after the pain.But this wasn’t about pride anymore.This was about Ammie.“…Just pick up,” she muttered as she dialed.---At Adrian’s house—His phone rang.He answered immediately.“Hello?”“Adrian.”His entire body stilled.“…Blue,” he said slowly. “Where is she?”“She’s at St. Mary’s General Hospital,” Blue said quickly. “She had an accident. She needs you.”Silence.Then—“I’m coming.”The call ended.---Adrian didn’t think.Didn’t hesitate.He grabbed his keys and rushed out.The drive was reckless.Fast.Every red light ignored.Every second stretching painfully.“…Nothing must happen to you,” he whispered, his voice shaking slightly.Memories kept flashing.Her face.Her voice.Her anger.Her softness.Everything he had forgotten—Now hitting him all at once.---At the hos

  • Bound by Contract: Healed by Love   Chapter Forty-five: Storm Before the Truth

    Adrian didn’t know where else to go.The drive back home felt longer than usual, even though he barely remembered the roads he passed. His hands were tight on the steering wheel, his mind spinning uncontrollably.He had gone to the restaurant.She wasn’t there.He had gone to Blue’s house.Empty.It felt like the world had suddenly hidden her from him.“…Where did you go?” he muttered, frustration rising in his chest.But underneath the frustration—Was something heavier.Fear.---When he got home, the house felt unusually alive.Voices.Laughter.Music.Adrian frowned immediately as he stepped inside.“What is going on?” he asked sharply.From the living room—Bianca walked out.Dressed beautifully.Like she belonged there.“Adrian,” she smiled. “You’re back.”He stared at her.Not the same way as before.This time—With clarity.With memory.With anger.“Get out.”The words came out flat.Cold.Bianca blinked.“…What?”“I said get out,” Adrian repeated, his voice rising now. “Leave

    Ammie didn’t tell anyone else.Not after the hospital.Not after the confirmation.Not even after she and Blue got back home.The word pregnant still echoed in her head like something unreal… something fragile… something that could be taken away if she said it too loud.She sat on the edge of the b

    Ammie didn’t move for a long time.She just stood there in the restroom, staring at her reflection like the answer might appear on her face.“…No,” she whispered again, shaking her head slightly. “It can’t be…”But her body said otherwise.The tiredness.The dizziness.The way she had been feeling

    Morning came slowly for Ammie.The kind of morning that didn’t feel like a new start, but a continuation of something heavy.She opened her eyes, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling in Blue’s room. For a few seconds, she didn’t move. Then everything came rushing back—the hospital, the shouting, the w

    Ammie didn’t remember how long she sat outside the hospital.Time had stopped meaning anything.The noise around her faded into nothing, her thoughts louder than everything else combined.
