Contractually Yours Chapter 34: Contractually Yours
Jem's POV I hated the idea of this situation, and I was certain something must have happened that triggered such an unsettling dream.Oh hell! How the hell could he make me want him this badly in reality, and still have the power, the right… the audacity to crawl into my dreams and make me scream his name again?I was still lost in thought when Dante’s voice suddenly rang out from my side, pulling me out of my daze. I immediately jolted back to reality.“Are you alright?” he asked softly, his hand still resting against my back as he leaned slightly forward, as if trying to check on me.I shook my head quickly, trying hard to hide my panic, but there was only just little I could conceal. My trembling hands were obvious, my sweaty face gave me away, and my restless eyes kept darting around without settling anywhere near him. He could definitely tell at first glance that I wasn’t “alright.”Then suddenly, out of nowhere, I managed to gather whatever courage I had left, and without think
Contractually Yours Chapter 33: Contractually Yours
Jem's POV “I shouldn’t want him… but I do.” That was the only thought that kept repeating in my head, over and over, as I lay there beneath him, my legs spread apart against Dante's skin as my body betrayed every hesitation I had tried so hard to hold on to.And my pants? They were long gone before we even got to this point, where I was already sweating beneath my skin, and my tilting backward as Dante suddenly slid over from the bed to grab a medium sized bottle of moisturising cream from the dresser.As if I couldn’t wait for him to come back to me, his name slipped from my lips in a quiet, breathless sound before I even realized I was saying it out loud and not just in my head.And that was when he suddenly chuckled, the sound low and teasing. “Did you just say my name?” he asked, his voice laced with quiet amusement.I couldn’t respond. I just shut my eyes tightly, my breath uneven as I felt his weight come back on top of me as he climbed back onto the bed again.And just before

Jem's POV For a moment, I didn’t even know how to respond, because his words just hung there between us—and honestly, that hit, and I felt it instantly.He sighed again, quieter this time. “I’ll just let you be for now… maybe you need some alone time.”There was a small pause, like he was deciding whether to say more.“I’ll be in my study,” he added finally. “Take your time. I’ll be around… just call me when you’re ready to see me.”There was something in his tone—something that felt like I had just pushed him away without meaning to.And just before he could take another step toward the door, I quickly looked up and, almost without thinking, blurted out, “I’m sorry.” The words slipped out before I could even decide if it was the right thing to say or not.Dante stopped immediately.And since he was still facing away from me, I took the chance to avoid looking directly at him. I quickly used that moment to say everything I had been holding back. “I didn’t mean to shut you out… I swe
Contractually Yours Chapter 31: Contractually Yours
Jem's POV I slowly woke up to the sound of small movements in the room.At first, everything felt distant, like I was still halfway between sleep and reality. My eyes opened gradually, and the first thing I noticed was a figure moving around the room.I frowned slightly, still lying there, trying to make sense of where I was. I turned slowly on the bed, my mind struggling to catch up, to piece together how I even got here in the first place.But before I could fully gather my thoughts, a voice suddenly broke through.“You’re awake.”The voice came from behind me.I immediately pushed myself up and turned quickly, my heart skipping slightly at the suddenness of it, and that was when I saw him.Dante.He was standing by the wall, hanging new portraits like it was the most normal thing in the world.Without even turning around to look at me, he spoke again, his voice calm and steady.“Did you eat already?”I didn’t answer.Instead, I slowly turned away again, dragging my palm down my fa

Jem's POV The happiness on her face disappeared as recognition hit her.“Oh…” I muttered in panic almost immediately, my voice trembling slightly. “I’m sorry. Dante isn’t around—”I couldn’t even finish properly before she suddenly rushed further into the room.“Oh my God, it’s you!” she exclaimed with a wide smile returning instantly. She grabbed both of my hands gently but excitedly, looking over my face like she was confirming something she had been waiting for. “I was just about to go tell Dante that you had woken up. I didn’t even know you were already back here.”She guided me back toward the bed without hesitation. “Come on, sit.”I obeyed slowly, still confused by her energy.Once I was seated, she continued speaking in that same bright, excited tone. “Does Dante know you’re here?”I nodded slightly, still trying to process everything. “Yes… he knows.”Her smile only grew warmer. She tilted her head slightly and asked in a softer, more caring tone, “So how are you feeling now

Jem's POV Just a few minutes after Dante left, Shark followed shortly after to get me some clothes, and he returned not too long later.Once I was done dressing up, Shark and I walked out of the hospital and headed toward the waiting car outside.The driver stepped out the moment he noticed Shark and immediately opened the door for me. I slid inside, and Shark got in after me.The drive to Dante’s mansion wasn’t really long, and before I even fully registered how far we had gone, we had already arrived.Shark got down first and immediately moved to my side, opening the car door for me. I stepped out slowly, still feeling a little weak, and muttered a quiet “thank you,” even though my voice came out lower than I intended.Shark only nodded once.He collected my hospital bag without hesitation and shut the car door carefully behind me before locking it.Then he led the way.I followed behind him as we approached the main entrance of the house, and the moment we stepped inside, I felt m

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 st

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 regist

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 alre

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
