Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother 57. Just a contract wife...
The rain hit the tinted windows of the Maybach, blurring the neon skyline of the city into a smear of cold, bleeding lights. Inside, the atmosphere was suffocating. Eloise sat pressed hard against the passenger door, her shoulder blades tight, her gaze fixed on the deluge outside. She felt like a mess at the moment. Besides, Abraham watched her, the control that usually defined his every waking second fractured piece by piece.He was a man accustomed to dictates, a man whose silence alone could freeze a boardroom. Yet, looking at the sharp profile of her jaw and the tremor she was trying so desperately to hide, he felt an agonizing wave of helplessness. He reached out, his hand hovered in the space between them, intending to place it over her cold fingers. Before he could even brush her skin, she flipped away, pulling her coat tighter around herself as if his touch were a burn."Don't," she whispered, her voice cut through the silence.Abraham’s hand dropped slowly back to his
Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother 56. Unwanted Guest
‘The last one.’ Those words sounded like poison to her ears. What did she mean by that? Abraham's words from last night flashed through her mind. He had mentioned Leo's mother. Did Victoria mean Leo’s mother as well? Eloise felt her heartbeat rise to the point of fainting, yet she managed herself. She kept her chin up, her spine rigid as a steel rod, refusing to give Victoria the satisfaction of seeing her break. The air between them was thick with unspoken malice, but Eloise refused to choke on it. She looked Victoria dead in the eye, a cool, dismissive smile played on her lips. "You know, Victoria, you spend so much time trying to tarnish my name, you’ve completely missed how badly your own foundation is cracking.” Immediately Victoria’s smile vanished. “Enjoy the party. I’m done wasting my breath on you." With that final remark, Eloise turned on her heel and walked away. But as soon as Victoria was out of sight, the icy composure began to fracture. Victori
Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother 55. Who's the woman?
“Well, I hoped you would disturb me, Mrs. Argos.” Those words hung in the air, making her choke on her own breath. Her eyes were wide, staring at him in a daze. Her heart slammed violently against her ribs. She was trapped between the unyielding wall of his chest and the hard, cold glass of the window.She wanted to turn around, to push him away, but as his thumbs lightly traced a slow, burning circle across the bare skin of her shoulders, her body betrayed her.Her body subconsciously leaned into him, bewitched by the dangerous promise of his closeness.At that moment, if he were to take her to bed, she would gladly follow. However, in the end, it couldn't happen as a knock on the door shattered their moment.The sharp knock cuts through the suffocating tension, followed by a polite voice… “Chairman, it's time,” Marcus spoke outside the door. Eloise was finally snapped out of her daze. She let out a shaky sigh, expecting Abraham to drop his hands and step back. But, he didn't
Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother 54. You're not bad...
Leo's Mother?... Eloise glanced at the back of the cold, distant man.Does that mean there was more than just family disputes?She knows there was a deep-seated grudge between the brothers, but she didn't know how deep it was.Could Damien and his family have anything to do with Leo's mother? Did they hurt her, or something?... She thought. But her thoughts paused and broke when Abraham hung up. Immediately, she rushed to the bed and pulled the duvet over her just as he entered the room.She closed her eyes, forcing her breathing to become steady as though she had been sleeping all along.Abraham returned to bed and slipped beside her, pulling her into his arms once more. He dropped a soft kiss on her neck. "I'll not let them touch you ever again." His warm whisper rang as a silent promise in her ear. Her fingers clenched tightly as she laid there almost dead. She didn't dare to move. However, soon, his breathing on her neck turned steady. "Did he fall asleep?" she thought, but
Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother 53. Leo's mother
Eloise stared at the man in a daze. Did he just confess? She didn't understand at all. Her lips parted and then closed. She couldn't utter a single word. The entire day's exhaustion finally took over, and she felt too haggard even to use a single brain cell.Looking down at her tired eyes, the dark, predatory hunger in Abraham’s eyes instantly softened, melting into something fiercely protective.Even though he wanted to, he didn't push his advantage, and he didn't lean in to claim the kiss that was practically begging to happen between them.Instead, with a single, swift movement, he effortlessly picked her up into his arms.A soft gasp tore through her lips, her hands instinctively wrapped around his neck for balance as he carried her away. "Abraham, wait... put me down. I ca-an walk!""You can barely stand," his voice rumbled. "You need to rest."With Eloise in his arms, he stepped into the massive, dimly lit bedroom and laid her down gently. “If this goes on for a few more mi
Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother 52. It was not an act.
“My wife and I… are absolutely in love.” Abraham walked inside. A smug grin tugged at the corner of her lips.He was still slightly disheveled from before. His sharp green eyes swept the room once, gazing at Miller, then swiftly landed on Eloise. Immediately, his cold gaze softened. Eloise blinked. When did he return? How much did he listen? Questions swirled within her mind.He walked in slowly. “Agent Miller,” he said, his voice calm enough to be polite, but there was nothing polite underneath it.“I see, you're here entertaining my wife.” He stopped right behind his wife. His arms locked firmly around her waist and pulled her back against his chest in a way that looked as if she belonged there.Eloise froze for a second, her breath caught at the sudden closeness, but she forced herself to stay in character, even as her mind screamed at how his closeness tickled her stomach.But what he did next left her rendered speechless… Abraham lowered his head and pressed a sudden kiss to

ELOISE He was resting against the wall, attired in the hospital gown. He looked relaxed, almost careless. For a moment, neither of us spoke, until… "Well, well, look who's here." he said at last, pushing himself off the wall and straightening. “That was expected.” His lips curved into a

ELOISE The world around me shattered between sound and rain. For a moment, I couldn't separate the voice from the rain. I couldn't tell whether the voice belonged to reality or the illusion created by the heavy rain. My gaze snapped back to the man, whose weary eyes remained fixed on me, as i

ELOISE Damien stared at me, his eyes had turned completely cold, disbelief written all over with his pride shattered. He was as if lost in thoughts. I straightened. “Anyways,” I glanced at Damien. “See you soon, in the court.” I turned toward the door, to leave. But evil never goes silen
Contracted to My Ex's Cold Brother 3. I'm not taking you...
ELOISE As soon as those words left my tongue, silence befell the room. For a few seconds, no one moved. The envelope rested on Damien's lap, his fingers poised motionlessly above it. He appeared quite stunned, which, for some reason, brought a peculiar sense of satisfaction to me. But w
