DAMIEN'S CONTRACT WIFE chapter 32
I woke up early that morning in Damien’s house, my mind already busy with what I needed to do. Today felt different. I wasn’t heading to work or the hospital. I dressed casually in jeans, a simple top, and comfortable shoes, and threw a small backpack over my shoulder with my notebook tucked inside.I felt ready, or at least as ready as I could be. When I came downstairs, Damien was in the dining room finishing his breakfast while scrolling through emails on his tablet. He looked up as I walked in. “You’re not dressed for work.”I poured myself a quick cup of coffee. “Because I’m not going.”He raised an eyebrow. “Then where are you going?”I sat opposite him. “Rye. I’m following Margaret’s trail.”Damien set the tablet aside. “I’ll come with you.”I shook my head almost immediately. “No.”He studied me quietly for a moment. “Why not?”I gave him a small smile. “This is something I need to do myself.”A brief silence followed. I expected him to push back, but he didn’t. Instead, he re
DAMIEN'S CONTRACT WIFE chapter 31
Sophia's POV I woke up that morning in Damien’s house feeling a mix of tired and determined. The sun was just coming through the curtains, and I already knew what I wanted to do.I planned to go to my father’s place right away. After everything that had happened, I needed to see him with my own eyes and make sure he was really okay.I got dressed in comfortable clothes, nothing fancy, and headed downstairs.Damien spotted me as I reached the bottom of the stairs. He was already up, looking fresh in his usual suit like he had been working for hours. “You’re going out this early?”I nodded. “I want to go to my father’s house. Any problem?”He looked at me for a second, then shook his head. “Nothing. Just be careful.”His words were simple, but they stayed with me as I drove away. Things between us had been getting a little less cold lately, especially after that kiss the other day. I still didn’t know what to make of it.When I got to Dad’s house, the place felt peaceful in a way it ha
DAMIEN'S CONTRACT WIFE chapter 30
Sophia's POV The morning light felt too bright as I came downstairs, dressed in the nicest outfit I could find that still looked simple. I kept checking myself in the hallway mirror, tugging at the sleeves of my blouse and smoothing my skirt. I felt completely out of place, like I was playing dress-up in someone else’s life.This wasn’t me. I was more comfortable in work clothes or jeans, not whatever this elegant version of Mrs. Hart was supposed to be.Damien was already waiting in the living room when I walked in. He looked up from his phone, and for a brief second, he just stared. He forgot whatever he was about to say. I noticed right away.“What?” I asked, feeling self-conscious.He cleared his throat. “Nothing.”I narrowed my eyes. “You’re staring.”A faint smile appeared on his lips. “You clean up well.”I rolled my eyes, trying to hide how nervous I actually felt. “That’s your compliment?”Damien picked up his car keys. “It’s the best you’re getting.”We left together, the s
DAMIEN'S CONTRACT WIFE chapter 29
Sophia's POV I pulled into the hospital parking lot early the next morning, my hands a little shaky on the steering wheel. The corridor felt quieter than usual as I walked down it, like the whole place was holding its breath. When I reached Dad’s room, Ethan was already there helping him fold the few clothes he had brought. My father looked much better than before. The color had started coming back to his face, even if the tiredness around his eyes hadn't gone away completely. Seeing him like that made something tight in my chest loosen just a bit.A gentle knock interrupted us. The doctor stepped in with a warm smile. “Good morning, Mr. Bennett.”Dad smiled back politely. “Good morning, Doctor.”The doctor flipped through the chart, nodding to himself. “Your progress has been remarkable.” He looked over at me. “He still needs medication, regular checkups, and plenty of rest… but he’s well enough to continue his recovery at home.”I let out the breath I didn’t realize I’d been holdin
DAMIEN'S CONTRACT WIFE chapter 28
Sophia's POV I left Bennett Accounting feeling more frustrated than when I arrived. The conversation with Mr. Lewis kept playing over and over in my head. Just as I was about to walk out the front door, I spotted him hurrying down the corridor toward the back exit. Something in my gut told me not to let him go. I hurried after him.“Mr. Lewis… wait!”He slowed down but didn’t turn right away. After a few seconds, he finally faced me, looking tired and a little nervous. “You shouldn’t be following me.”“Then don’t walk away when you’re in the middle of telling me something important,” I shot back.He sighed heavily, rubbing the back of his neck. “I shouldn’t have said anything.”“But you did.” I took a step closer, lowering my voice. “Who was the third person my father trusted?”Mr. Lewis glanced around the empty hallway before answering. “Your father trusted very few people. Far fewer than people believed.”I moved even closer. “Then tell me.”He shook his head slowly, looking genuin
DAMIEN'S CONTRACT WIFE chapter 27
Sophia's POV The night refused to grant me peace. I barely slept, tossing and turning in the guest bedroom of Damien’s mansion as everything that happened earlier replayed relentlessly in my mind. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt the warmth of his lips, the steady pressure of his hand at my back, the way the world had narrowed to just the two of us for those few charged moments.I buried my face in the pillow with an annoyed groan. It was one stupid kiss. Yet my lips still tingled at the memory, and heat crept up my neck even now.Determined to stop obsessing, I climbed out of bed before dawn and headed for the shower. The hot water helped clear some of the fog, but as I brushed my hair afterward, my gaze landed on the photograph lying on the bedside table. I picked it up again, studying it under the soft lamplight.This time, my eyes locked on the tiny logo printed on the delivery truck in the background. My breath caught sharply. I had seen that exact logo before, not years ago
