Claimed By The Billionaires Contract Chapter Thirty Seven: A Dangerous Temptation
Emily's thoughts were disrupted as Edward threw her into his bed. She immediately rose to a sitting position.“I promise I'll never hurt you again, Emily.” He sat beside her and reached for her palm, placing it flat on his chest.Emily's heart leaped, her lips suddenly going dry from lack of words.The sincerity in his eyes was almost enough to melt her heart.“Natasha is out of town for a few days on a business trip, and Joan has no place to stay.”“No friends or family?” Emily inquired, her chest boiling with anger.“Her friends are all busy, and her family resides in Asia.”Emily's gaze narrowed at him.“I'm not interested in what you choose to do with your child or your ex-wife.”Her heart ached because, deep down, she knew she was lying.And Edward could see it through her.“I have nothing to do with her.”“But her child is in your home!”Edward gulped, his Adam's apple bobbing.“It's pretty obvious you still want her, don't you?”“I can never want her back, Emily. She lied to me
Claimed By The Billionaires Contract Chapter Thirty Six: A Dangerous Favor He Couldn't Refuse
Edward asked, his expression turning cold.The smile that had been on Natasha's face dropped.“Do I have to get a restraining order against you so it'll be clear you are no longer welcome here?”The more he stared at her, the angrier he became. He detested the fact that she showed up with Joan, her new ploy to manipulate her way back into his life. Because she knew he had a soft spot for the toddler.He regretted ever mixing up with this woman. The last thing he wanted was for Emily to see Natasha and her daughter.Edward expected her to respond with a sassy comeback, but instead, her voice softened. A sad expression was etched on her face.“I have no intentions of disrupting your peace, but I need a favor from you.”Edward's brows knitted together, wondering what she was up to.“I can't help you,” he stepped back, intending to shut the door on her, but her words stopped him.“I…it's about Joan.”Edward's eyes darted to the little girl who had been staring at him, watching the entire
Claimed By The Billionaires Contract Chapter Thirty Five: The Weight Of Guilt
Emily sat at the breakfast table staring at the cup of coffee in front of her. Her mind was far from the dining room.It was still stuck on Betty's words. Please don't leave us again.The words were still stuck in her head.What did Betty mean by us? Did she mean herself and her grandparents? Or did she mean herself and Edward?The thought alone made Emily uncomfortable.She pushed it away and focused on a much bigger problem.Which is Benjamin.A knot formed in her stomach.How exactly was she going to explain any of this to him? How was she supposed to tell him she wasn't in California, taking care of a sick aunt? How was she supposed to explain that she was currently trapped inside her ex-husband's mansion because of a ridiculous contract? And how was she supposed to explain that the contract still had power over her life even after five years?It just didn't make any sense.The lies were becoming too much, and she hated it.Benjamin had been nothing but good to her. He was kind,
Claimed By The Billionaires Contract Chapter Thirty Four: Lies Upon Lies
“I’m sorry, it’s just…” Emily paused, biting down on her bottom lip while trying to find the right words to say to Benjamin.Because the truth sat heavily in her chest.Emily couldn't tell him she was trapped inside Edward Carter’s mansion, sleeping in the same room with him.She was terrified of what Benjamin would think, and scared of losing the relationship she had built with him because of Edward’s stupid games.On the other end of the line, Benjamin’s voice softened.“Emily?”She shut her eyes briefly before forcing herself to speak.“My aunt's condition got worse,” she lied. “So I had to stay back a little longer.”“In California?”“Yes.”“You should have told me things were this serious.”Emily swallowed hard.“She’s the only distant family I have left,” she added. “I just… didn’t want to become a burden to anyone.”The moment the words left her mouth.Benjamin had done absolutely nothing wrong, and yet here she was lying to him.“You could never be a burden to me,” he said.Em
Claimed By The Billionaires Contract Chapter Thirty Three: Struggling In His Arms
Emily felt the heat of a warm body seeping into her, coupled with an arm around her waist holding her tight. It made her feel comfortable and loved, and a sigh slipped from her lips as she cuddled more against the body, not caring to know who it was, while wishing to fall deeper into her peaceful slumber.She heard a chuckle sail into her ears and the arm around her waist tightened pulling her closer against his chest. Warm breath fanned her neck before she heard the words.“You love being in my arms, don't you?”Her comfort was stripped the moment she recognized the familiar voice.It was Edward.And what the hell was she doing in his arms?She immediately snapped her eyes open trying to free herself from his hold, but his grip got tighter. In the midst of her fight, the memories of what she had thought was a dream, but now realized was a flashback, began to fade away.“Calm down Cupcake,” Edward growled into her ear.Emily hissed in response, holding onto his arm and trying to push
Claimed By The Billionaires Contract Chapter Thirty Two: Doomed By Desires
It's been five whole days since Emily signed the agreement that changed everything. Five days of pretending and reminding herself that this was temporary.It was just two years.That was what she kept telling herself every morning when she woke up in his mansion, which never for once made her feel comfortable because no matter how beautiful the house was, it still felt like a cage. And the only reason she remained inside was Ethan.Her son was playing upstairs, unaware that his mother was signing away two years of her freedom because she was terrified of losing him.Edward had offered her an advance payment after the contract was signed.He claimed it was part of the agreement, but Emily had looked him straight in the eyes and refused.She didn’t want his money and she definitely didn’t want to feel indebted to him.Two days after signing the contract, she had flown to Texas to get some of her belongings and Ethan’s things from her apartment. She had packed quietly and paid her rent i
