Contractually Yours Chapter 26: Contractually Yours
Jem's POV I tried to speak, slowly at first, like I was afraid that if I rushed it, whatever memory I had left would slip away again. My head still felt heavy, like there was something inside it I couldn’t fully reach, something just out of grasp.“There were… a lot of cars,” I said, my voice coming out softer than I expected.Then I paused, trying to remember more of what had happened that day, but that was all I could recall.My brows drew together slightly as I tried harder to remember, forcing myself to reach deeper into my thoughts, to pull out anything more from the fog in my head.But I could only remember a little.“There were a lot of people too… a lot of men…” I swallowed hard as I continued to speak. My throat suddenly dried as a dull ache pressed against my head. I squinted slightly, as though forcing the memory out only made the pain in my head worse.“That’s all I can remember… just the cars and the people,” I said quickly, a weak sense of finality in my tone.I hesita
Contractually Yours Chapter 25: Contractually Yours
Dante's POV I was in the meeting room at the house, seated with a group of top-tier investors, discussing business as usual, when a soft knock suddenly came against the glass door.My eyes didn’t leave the documents in front of me, but I already knew who it was.It was Mara.She’s always the one with the nerve to come knocking on my door, even when I’m in the middle of a meeting—hell, even if it were with the president. My mom wouldn’t dare try that with me… but Mara? She’s something else.Sometimes I wonder if she got that stubborn streak from me or if she was just born that way. Either way, once she decides something matters, there’s no stopping her. She’ll walk straight through any door, no hesitation, no second thoughts.And the annoying part?She’s almost always right to.The door opened gently, and she stepped in slowly, her movements careful, almost too respectful for someone who usually walked in without hesitation.Without looking up, I spoke.“Mara, I’m in a meeting. It can

Dante's POV She continued, shaking her head repeatedly as more tears fell. “You don’t believe me… I can never do something like that… I can’t hurt him—”“Shh… hey, it’s okay,” I cut in immediately, my voice softer now, controlled but steady. “I believe you, okay? I believe you. You just have to stop trying to hurt yourself. Please, just stop.” My eyes stayed on her face the entire time as I gently used the back of my hand to wipe her tears, trying to calm her down as best as I could.She let out a shaky breath, her body still trembling badly, and without thinking, she suddenly threw herself into me. Her arms wrapped tightly around my neck as she held onto me like she was afraid of falling apart completely.“I’m sorry, uncle… I’m really sorry,” she sobbed against me. “I tried to save him… I tried to get him to the hospital as fast as I could, but I just… I just… couldn’t—”“It’s okay,” I interrupted her gently, pulling her closer as I rubbed her back slowly. “Stop talking. I know. I
Contractually Yours Chapter 23: Contractually Yours
Dante's POV I sighed and looked away, my fingers curled slowly into a fist as I tried to ignore his presence. For a moment, I said nothing. I just stared at the glass in my hand like it was the only thing keeping me grounded.Then I grabbed it and downed the drink in one go. The burn barely registered before I leaned in to pour myself another shot.That was when Liam spoke again.“Dante… you’ve punished me enough. Don’t you think it’s time you and I got back together?”A quiet hiss slipped past my lips. I didn’t even bother looking at him.“Get the fuck out of my face, Liam,” I muttered under my breath.He laughed softly, like I had just said something amusing, then he leaned closer, brushing his shoulder lightly against mine in that same careless, familiar way I used to hate.“Come on,” he said, his tone almost playful. “You and I both know we’re meant to be together. Stop pretending. Fine—I’ll take responsibility for everything that happened between us. I’ll make it up to you… just
Contractually Yours Chapter 22: Contractually Yours
Dante's POV Because it felt like there was something she already knew… something she wasn’t telling me.I forced myself to look away before my thoughts could spiral any further, pushing everything I had just imagined to the back of my mind.By the time I stepped out of the hospital, Shark was already waiting outside beside the car.“I need a drink,” I said to him immediately as I walked towards the car, the sunlight hitting my face so strongly that I had to squint.“Yes, boss,” Shark responded instantly, rushing to open the car door for me.I slid inside and sank into the seat, letting out a long, exhausted breath I didn’t even realize I was holding.Shark moved quickly around the car, got into the driver’s seat, and started the engine.Without wasting time, I leaned my head back slightly and spoke again.“Let’s go.”And just like that, the car pulled away from the hospital.A few minutes into the drive, Shark slowed down and eventually pulled over in front of one of the most elite b

Dante's POV Once Jem was stabilized for the time being, I didn't wait—I immediately ordered that he be transferred to Aurelius Advanced Medical Centre—the same hospital where his mom was currently receiving treatment.I didn’t fully trust this facility, but at the very least, they had done a good job keeping Jem alive for now. Without wasting any more time, I paid for everything immediately, and within seconds, his transfer was already arranged.About half an hour later, Jem had been moved into Aurelius Advanced Medical Centre. By the time my mom and I arrived, he was already settled in properly, and the condition looked more stable than before. Even the doctors confirmed that he was responding well and might wake up anytime soon—probably within the next forty-eight hours or so.Just shortly after Jem was stabilized, Dr. Camp had specifically asked that my mom and I come to his office for a full report on Jem's condition.My mom and I walked into his office quietly. Neither of us sai
