Contract bride: from contract wife to his obsession chapter forty one
By the time Clara returned home, she looked like a disaster. Her hair was damp and sticky from spilled drinks, her makeup ruined, and her expensive dress clung awkwardly to her body. But none of that compared to the rage burning inside her.The humiliation at the lounge replayed endlessly in her mind.The way people stared and laughed and also the whispers. And worst of all the way Elias had looked at her cold and disgusted as though she were something beneath him.Clara stormed into the living room and threw her handbag violently onto the couch.“This is all her fault!” Her voice echoed through the house. She paced furiously, her heels striking harshly against the floor.“Ava!” Her face twisted with hatred as she shouted. “Everything is because of that pathetic girl!”The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. To her, Ava had ruined everything,Stolen attention and power. And now even Elias Ward had humiliated her publicly because of Ava.Clara clenched her fists tigh

The moment Clara reached their table, the atmosphere shifted very obviously. She carried herself with calculated confidence with every step deliberate and every movement designed to attract attention and it did get attention. Several eyes in the lounge followed her immediately.Her dress was tight and revealing far more than elegance required, hugging her figure provocatively. It was the kind of outfit meant to tempt and provoke reactions especially from men. Raymond noticed it instantly and nearly sighed out loud.Married woman behavior, he thought dryly.But Clara didn’t even glance at him because her entire focus was on Elias. She stopped beside him with a bright smile.“Mr. Ward.” she said smiling.Elias barely looked up,his attention remained on the drink in his hand. This slight dismissal irritated Clara immediately but she forced her smile to remain intact.“You probably remember me,” she continued smoothly. “I’m Clara.” but there was Still no reaction.Her smile stiffen

The soft sound of jazz drifted through the lounge while city lights shimmered beyond the glass walls. Unlike the noisy clubs Raymond usually preferred, this place was quieter and more private. A favorite spot for businessmen and powerful people who wanted peace without attention,the type of place that Elias preferred.Elias sat comfortably on one of the leather chairs while a glass of whiskey rested untouched in his hand. Across from him, Raymond leaned back lazily, looking far more relaxed than usual.“For someone about to join the police force officially,” Elias said calmly, “you seem unusually free.”Raymond grinned immediately. “Enjoying my last days of peace.”Elias shook his head faintly. “You got transferred already?” he asked.“Mm.” Raymond nodded. “The approval finally came through.”“When do you resume?”“Next week.”Elias gave a slight nod. “That fast?” he saidRaymond laughed softly. “You sound disappointed.”“I’m questioning the judgment of the people hiring you.” E

Clara’s morning began with shouting again.The sound of a glass breaking against the wall still echoed faintly in the living room as she stood with her arms crossed, glaring at Jeff.“You’re unbelievable!”Jeff dragged a frustrated hand through his hair, exhaustion written all over his face.For the past few days, the pressure surrounding his company had become unbearable. Stocks kept on falling,investors were withdrawing, partnerships suddenly hesitant. Ever since Ward Industries pulled out of the deal everything had spiraled faster than he expectedHe barely slept anymore or ate. And Clara instead of helping only made things worse.“You spent almost half a million in one week, Clara!” Jeff shouted in annoyance.She scoffed immediately. “So now you’re counting money in my face?”Jeff laughed bitterly.“Because there’s barely any left to count!”This made Clara’s expression darken instantly.“How dare you speak to me like that?”“How dare you act like nothing is happening?” Jeff s

The next morning, Ava woke to silence. There was no whispers or cruel voices,and especially no humiliation echoing endlessly in her mind. For the first time in days, her chest didn’t feel painfully tight. She laid still for a moment, staring at the ceiling as the memories of yesterday slowly returned. The shock of the internet after she revealed her marriage to Elias Ward.A slow breath left her lips then she reached for her phone on the bedside table and turned it on. Instantly notifications flooded her screen endlessly. Messages,calls, social media tags,email,her phone practically froze under the pressure.Ava blinked once at the overwhelming number,Jane alone had sent over twenty messages. Among all the messages and calls,one had caught her attention...her father had called her severally.Ava stared at them briefly then locked the screen again ignoring all of it. Because today,she wasn't in the mood for explanation. She got out of bed slowly and walked toward the window.The c

The name echoed across screens,across stunned expressions. The whole internet was shocked at the revelation.In Clara’s house, her phone slipped slightly in her grip.“What…?” Rose’s face went completely still.In Jane’s living room her mouth dropped open. “NO WAY...”In his office Raymond burst out laughing. “I knew it!”At Lin residenceMr. Lin stood frozen,shock written all over his face.In his study Arthur Ward smiled slowly. “Well… that’s my granddaughter.”And in the hallway of Ward Industries Elias didn’t move or speak,he couldn't even react immediately,he just say there staring at the screen,at Ava. At the woman who had just without warning or fear tied his name to hers in front of the entire world.A storm of reactions exploded everywhere but Elias remained still. Because only one thought crossed his mind...She really did it. And for the first time in a long while, Elias Ward felt something dangerously close to losing control.The silence that followed Ava’s revelation
