Contracted: Love In The Shadow Chapter 1 - Unexpected News
As I stepped into my childhood home after an arduous four-year absence, a sigh escaped my lips. To avoid raising suspicions about my sudden arrival, I called my parents a few nights ago. However, they still appeared concerned. I had hoped to share the joyful news of my promotion to CEO of a prestigious fashion brand with them.Upon taking a deep breath, I cautiously pushed open the front door and entered the living room. Observing my parents anxiously pacing back and forth, I sensed something troubling them. Without wasting any time, I approached them with care."Inquiry: Mom, Dad, what's the matter? You both seem worried," I asked from the doorway.The moment my father, Nicolas Dolman, caught sight of me, he leaped up and hurried towards me, embracing me tightly. "Oh, it's a relief that you're home, dear," he exclaimed with excitement."Thank you, Dad," I replied, returning the embrace."My child, welcome home," my mother, Rachael Dolman, greeted me with a warm embrace as well.Surpr

I didn't mean to bother you," Ken replied, his eyes downcast."What do you have for me?" Lucian asked, his curiosity piqued."I received a call from Mr. Dolman earlier," Ken reported.Lucian raised an eyebrow.

Chapter 3 - The WeddingAfter what felt like a seemingly endless thirty-minute drive, the limo finally came to a stop in front of a grand estate guarded by imposing figures. As I stepped out of the car, I was immediately greeted by a group of maids who hurriedly ushered me into the house. "Wait a second," I protested, "What's the hurry?"The maids exchanged glances but didn't offer an explanation, just continuing to push me forward. "Hey!" I objected, but they remained silent, their determination unwavering. My father tried to reassure me, "It's alright, dear. We'll wait for you inside," he said as we passed through the door.Inside the mansion, I half expected to be led into a dark room or some hidden corner, but to my surprise, they brought me to a lavishly decorated room. The bed alone was twice the size of my parents, and the closet was vast, filled with exquisite gowns and shoes of all kinds. "Oh," I exclaimed, taking in the opulence around me.My attention was then drawn to a go

As I woke up that morning, the bright rays of sunlight greeted me, almost blinding my eyes. I couldn't quite tell if I had slept well or if I had remained awake until morning. The night had felt restless, leaving me with a sense of unease that lingered. "Oh, my God! What am I going to do? My life is ruined," I whispered to myself, tossing and turning in bed, overwhelmed by anxiety. The weight of uncertainty and fear seemed to bear down on me as I contemplated my next step.The thought of explaining my sudden marriage to my boss, who was also my lover, and the few friends, I have managed to gain back at my old place made me even more frustrated. "I can't believe that on my first visit home in four years, I ended up getting married," I sighed, irritated with the situation.

Instead, she seemed to be a simmering volcano, ready to erupt at any moment. Holding the tablet nervously, he glanced at Lucian, his boss, attempting to buy some time. "I'm still trying to detect if there are any errors," he lied, trying to come up with an explanation.Lucian sighed and frowned. "That isn't your job, Ken. I'll check it myself," he declared, his voice firm. "Now hand over the tab to me," he commanded, expecting compliance.Ken stood still, contemplating his options.

I questioned, feeling irritated by her interference. "Seriously? What nerves."Josie hesitated, "My apologies, Madam, but if I didn’t intervene... that last hit would probably kill her," she explained.I looked down at Lisa's face; although she was still breathing, her face was messed up. "Fine, I'll let it pass for today, but the next time you speak to me like that... I'll murder you. I'll decapitate your head from your body, and no one will know," I spat out, watching her squirm with horror. "Good, I love the expression on your face.
