Contractually Yours Chapter 67: Contractually Yours
Jem's POV The moment Dante finally left the room, everything changed.It didn’t really become “peaceful” like it should have. It just turned into that kind of silence that makes you suddenly aware of everything—like even breathing feels a bit too loud. The only sounds left were the soft clinking of spoons and plates, and the faint tapping of Mara’s fingers as she kept typing nonstop on her phone. It wasn’t loud, but somehow it filled the entire space.I stayed seated for a moment, but I didn’t feel settled. I felt exposed in a way, like I suddenly didn’t belong there anymore. Dante leaving the house had taken away the only sense of ease I had managed to build, and now I was left alone with everything I was still trying to understand.Honestly, I just sat there thinking for a second, why does it feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t belong in this room right now? Even the chair under me felt different, like it had quietly reminded me that I was still just a guest in this house, not

Dante's POV I didn’t drop my phone back on the table. Instead, I slipped it straight into my trouser pocket and stood up from the dining table without hesitation.“I need to be at the office… something important just came up,” I said, already adjusting my posture as I prepared to leave.I had barely finished speaking when my mother’s voice cut in gently but firmly.“Dante… but you promised to eat dinner with the family today. You’re always at work, and today that you finally had the chance to join us… why don’t you just sit back and finish your food?” she said softly. Her tone was calm, almost careful, but I could hear the worry underneath it.I paused for a second and looked at her properly. My hand was already halfway out of my pocket, my mind still on the call I had just received. I could see it clearly in her eyes—this wasn’t just about food. It was about me never really staying long enough, never really being present the way she wanted me to be.“Mom,” I said more softly, “I un
Contractually Yours Chapter 65: Contractually Yours
Dante's POV After dressing up and helping Jem change into something a little smaller, it still didn’t fit him perfectly, but at least it didn’t swallow him whole like the previous hoodie had.After all that, we stepped out of the room to join the rest of the family for dinner.Once we were all seated in the dining room, the table was already set, the food arranged neatly, and the maids had just finished placing the last dishes before stepping away.My mother sat beside me, calm as always, while I remained at the head of the table. Jem sat next to me, stiff and tense, like he didn’t even know how to breathe properly in that moment. It was obvious. Anyone paying attention could see it.Then Mara came down from upstairs.Her steps were steady at first, but the moment she reached the last step and her eyes landed on Jem, she suddenly stopped. It was subtle, but I caught it immediately. Something shifted in her expression, something quick and sharp, like she had just seen something she

Jem's POV I stood there quietly, not fighting it this time. I just let everything happen. The warm shower water ran down our body as Dante stood closely behind me, we were both completely naked as we took a bath together like it was the most normal thing ever.Dante's hands moved slowly over my back, steady and calm as he helped me scrub my back gently.I kept my eyes down, focusing on nothing in particular, just trying to get through it.It was quiet, and somehow I felt… at ease. Too at ease for a moment like this, and that was what made me question it.I began to wonder why on earth I was feeling peaceful with Dante standing so close behind me. The situation was just too far from normal, yet I was feeling warm enough to want to remain under this shower with him for as long as it might take.The only sound that seemed to exist in that moment was the water running over us, filling the space between us with something I couldn’t quite explain.Unlike my usual self, I didn’t speak. I

Mara's POV Cruz froze, taken aback. “What the hell was that?” he asked, his tone shifting instantly.I turned to him, my eyes blazing. “What does it look like? I’m not in the mood, so fuck off, dickhead.”He let out a short laugh, disbelief written all over his face. “Not in the mood? You’re the one who asked me to come over that you were horny and here I am, and…” he choked, “...and you're suddenly not in the mood—?”I didn’t hold back, I turned around and snapped, “Yes, I’m telling you that I’m not in the fucking mood anymore! Is that supposed to be a crime?” I shot back.Cruz was completely stunned by the change in my behaviour.Just a few moments ago, I was dripping wet and was so into it that we almost had sex in the living room couch, not until my uncle walked in on us and stopped it.Now, I’m suddenly cold and distant, and he clearly can’t understand why.Cruz stared at me for a moment, then ran a hand through his hair in frustration. “You can’t just switch up like that, Mara.
Contractually Yours Chapter 62: Contractually Yours
Mara's POV I pressed my ear harder against Dante's door, holding my breath as I listened carefully to everything happening inside.At first, everything inside was muffled, unclear, like distant movement behind thick walls. But then the sounds became more distinct—low voices, uneven breathing, something shifting, something… wrong.My brows slowly furrowed.Then I heard it again.A sound that didn’t belong to silence. A sound that made my stomach twist.My eyes widened as the realization slowly sank in.“No—” the word suddenly slipped out of my mouth.“No… that couldn’t be right—” I thought.I just hope I was mishearing things right now.I leaned in even more, my heart beginning to pound loudly in my chest as I strained to hear more clearly. I needed to be sure it's not what I'm thinking right now. It definitely cannot be.But even as I pressed my ear harder against the thick door and listened carefully, it still turned out to be the same muffling sound coming out of the room.There we

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
Contractually Yours Chapter 20: Contractually Yours
Dante's POV A strangled breath escaped me as my entire body tensed.The pain wasn’t normal—it wasn’t something I could control or push through. It felt like something was drilling straight into my head, deep and relentless, like my brain was being torn apart from the inside.“Ah—” I gasped, my han
Contractually Yours Chapter 12: Contractually Yours
Jem's POV I forced myself to stand quickly from the bed, my mind scrambling for something—anything that would buy me time.A fake smile spread across my face, as I began to speak, “It’s probably the network,” I said quickly, trying to sound casual. “It must be bad… maybe I should just go to the hos
Contractually Yours Chapter 11: Contractually Yours
Jem's POV Dante didn’t respond. He just continued to stare at me… as if he was waiting for me to say something else.Then he scoffed lightly and slid his phone onto the table beside him.“Hurt your mom?” he repeated with a soft laugh. “Come on… I have a mother too. Why would I hurt yours?”He paus
