Contract bride: from contract wife to his obsession chapter seventy eight
The afternoon sun shone brightly over the hotel swimming pool, casting golden reflections across the clear blue water.Eve lay on a sun lounger beside the pool, wearing a stylish white swimsuit and dark sunglasses. A glass of juice sat on the small table beside her, and a light breeze played with the loose strands of her hair.For the first time in days, she seemed relaxed but beneath her calm expression, her mind was far from peaceful.She had been back in the city for several days, and things weren't going exactly as she had expected.She had imagined that returning to Elias would be difficult, but she hadn't expected him to be so cold toward her.The Elias she remembered had loved her deeply. He had trusted her with everything, including the secrets he had never shared with anyone else.She had once been the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with now, he looked at her as though she were nothing more than a stranger from an unpleasant past.Eve clenched her jaw.She had not c

Mathew placed the thick file on Elias's desk,for a moment, nobody spoke.Elias stared at the file before slowly lifting his eyes toward his right-hand man."You said I'll be surprised by what you found. What exactly are you talking about?""It's about Eve's life after she left you." Mathew glanced at Raymond before answering."Go on." Elias said with a hardened expression.Mathew pulled out a chair and sat down. Raymond moved closer to the desk, his curiosity growing as he waited for the explanation."When Eve disappeared years ago, you discovered that she had transferred large amounts of money from Ward Industries into an offshore account. At the time, you believed she had run away with her lover, and you were right." Mathew began as he opened the file."I already know that part." Elias fingers curled against the armrest."Yes, but you didn't know who the man was or what he was involved in."Mathew removed a photograph from the file and placed it in front of Elias.The picture showed a

Over the next few days, the news about Eve's return refused to die down If anything, it only became bigger.Every morning, Ava would open her phone and find another article about Elias and his former fiancée.Some reports focused on their old relationship others dug into their former engagement and tried to discover why it had ended.There were even people online wondering if Elias had secretly been waiting for Eve to return.Ava tried her best to ignore everything.She focused on her work at Lin Industries and refused to read the comments but no matter how hard she tried, Eve's name continued to appear everywhere.Then, things became even worse.One afternoon, Eve agreed to an interview with a reporter outside a luxury hotel.The moment she stepped outside, several reporters surrounded her."Miss Eve!""Can you tell us why you returned to the city?""Are you back because of Elias Ward?""Have you spoken to him since your return?"Eve stopped walking.She looked at the reporters with

The next morning, the news spread like wildfire.“Billionaire CEO Elias Ward’s Former Fiancée Returns!”“Who Is the Mysterious Woman From Elias Ward’s Past?”“Elias Ward’s Former Fiancée Reappears After Years!”The headlines were everywhere.News websites were publishing articles one after another.

Elias sat in his study, staring at the documents scattered across his desk.He had barely slept for the rest of the night.Every time he closed his eyes, thoughts of Eve's return came rushing into his mind. He had hoped that after all these years, he would never have to deal with her again. Yet, somehow, she had managed to find her way back into his life.Elias rubbed his tired face and leaned back in his chair. He had no intention of going to the office that day. After everything that had happened, he needed time to think about his next move but before he could settle his thoughts, his phone began to ring.He glanced at the screen and saw Mathew's name.With exhaustion written all over his face, he answered."What is it, Mathew?""Sir!" Mathew's panicked voice came through the phone. "Miss Eve is here again!""Where?" Elias expression immediately darkened."At Ward Industries. She's sitting in your private reception area, and she refuses to leave.""What does she want?" Elias asked as he

Neither of them spoke for several seconds before Elias finally continued."Eve and I met several years ago." He said with a quiet voice."We were together for a long time. I loved her."Ava's chest tightened slightly, but she remained silent."I didn't just love her, Ava. I trusted her with everything."He looked down at his hands."She knew everything about me. My business, my finances, my plans, my family. There wasn't much I kept from her." He paused for a while then continued."Eventually, I proposed.""We were engaged, and our wedding was already being planned. I genuinely believed she was the woman I would spend the rest of my life with."His voice became heavier."Then, three weeks before our wedding, she disappeared.""Just like that?" Ava's eyes widened as she asked."No warning. No explanation. Nothing." Elias said nodding.He looked toward the window."I woke up one morning and she was gone. At first, I thought something had happened to her. I called her phone repeatedly. I contac
