CHAPTER 63
"Did you miss me?" He taunted.
Her body went limp and she would have collapsed if she didn't have the wall to support her. It was him! It was definitely him! "What? Are you afraid of facing me?" He chuckled. She was on the verge of breaking down but she knew that letting him know that his presence was getting to her was the worst thing she could do. So, she kept her stance. "If there is anyone who should be afraid of seeing the other, it should be you." She feigned nonchalance. All those years of faking confidence while facing business partners who intimidated her were beginning to pay off. "Is that so?" He leaned against the wall, looking down at her like she was an ant. "Well, you are right. I should watch out for knives."The mention of knives made a chill go down her spine. Her entire body trembled as her head buzzed. She had thought that the worst day was the day reality sunk in and she had to face it but she had beenRelated chapters

"It should be recent." He looked at her then at Olivia and understood what she was speculating. It didn't make sense that Olivia had said the very thing that Beth said earlier. It was as though they had discussed it!"Your very good, innocent son?" Livian burst into laughter.Olivia let out a sigh of relief thinking she had averted the crisis but when she wasn't watching, Gemma and Livian exchanged a knowing glance."I thought you were trying to act like a goodie two shoes and regain my trust, Livie." Gemma winked as she made fun of her.Seeming to realize what she was doing, Olivia's face paled. She then made a show of being emotional and burst into crocodile tears. "My eldest son is dead and not long after his death, my second son was imprisoned. It's as if my family is falling apart. How do you think I feel about this?"Gemma gave Livian a sidelong glance and her mouth twitched. "Is this the part where I'm supposed to take out my h

"That's not the kind of reaction you should be having!" Cora screeched.Gemma massaged her temples that were starting to throb from her friend's insanity. Could she lower her voice a little? It was still so early in the morning and she needed to sleep some more!"How should I react?" She asked, desperate for this to end already."Like you're fazed." Cora glared at her like it should be obvious.She slid out of bed and threw her pillow at Cora while at it, punishing her for disturbing her peace so early in the morning. "What if I'm not?""Huh?" Cora looked confused for a while. She picked up the pillow that had fallen thanks to the force with an eye roll. She threw it back onto the bed along with the comforter while forbidding Gemma from going back to sleep. "Unless you have a hand in this and know how to handle this, you should be finding a solution to end the rumors. How about I meet with the CEO of Cruise Media? I could get hi

Her mind went blank. Did he just say he knew what really happened to Ethan? How could he know? Know one knew about it. Her shocked eyes met his and he smiled. Was he seriously making fun of her?"Don't worry. We are not talking about Ethan right now. We are discussing Sofia." He teased her by tapping her nose with his forefinger.She forced a smile and took a bite of a cookie, which tasted somewhat like medicine, bitter and unbearable, but she had to eat it out of necessity. She couldn't go through a whole day of hard work without eating. She wouldn't have the strength to do so.He was observing her from the corner of his eye and reached over to pet her hair. "Don't be nervous. I really won't bring him up in circumstances that don't need him. You can be certain of that." He promised.She was far from relieved. "How the hell am I supposed to take that to heart? Who else knows about it?""No one. It's between you and me." He looke

"See you on Friday." She kissed his lips gently and moved to open the car door."No. See you tonight." He corrected her with a smirk on his lips.She bit her bottom lip. "You make it sound like you're not just going to see me.""You know that I'd be happy to do more than just see you, Gem." He groaned before their lips connected.She pulled away even though she wanted to kiss him as badly as he wanted it. "We can't let anyone else see us even though they already know."He nodded and reined in the urge to take her in the car. "I'll pick you up at 4pm."She agreed and hurriedly got out of the car.It was only when she was in the elevator that she realized what she had agreed to. Did she just say yes to him picking her up this evening and spending the night at his place?What is the use of agreeing to meet for sleepovers on the weekends if she was going to be there on random days as well?She frowned

"You are one to talk, Miss Arnaud." Rudolf scoffed. "It's a known fact. Do you know what else is a known fact? Where there is smoke, there is fire."Gemma's smile widened. Well, that gave her an idea.Rudolf shuddered from her gaze but maintained his stance. What could a woman like her do? She didn't have the balls to try to mess with him. Or did she?…"How did it go?" Livian asked when he picked her up at 4pm. He was on time and she couldn't get to his car fast enough. She had told him about the meeting with the shareholders and he couldn't wait to know about what happened either.She slumped into the shotgun seat and threw her handbag into the backseat in an unlady-like manner, then kicked her shoes off her feet like she couldn't wait to get rid of them. She glanced at him as she fastened her seatbelt. "My day has been greater than my worst nightmare. Thanks for asking."He chuckled at her sarcastic to

"You are so beautiful." Livian ran his hand down her shoulder and kissed her cheek. She would have thought that he was just saying it to get on her good side but when she met his gaze, she had to believe that he truly meant it. His eyes were filled with adoration and if it was humanly possible, his attraction for her seemed to have intensified after what they had just done.She purred like a comfortable kitten when he kissed her cheek. She was lying against his chest with her body half sprawled against his. She pulled her knee up against his thigh and it drove him crazy. He groaned in pleasure."You are insatiable." She chuckled. They had done it twice in a row and she was beginning to realize that it didn't take much for him to be hard again.He wrapped his arms around her waist and chuckled against her neck. "Who am I to blame for that? If the wife is too sweet, is it the husband's fault that he got addicted to her sweetness?"She looked

She thought he would ask to spend more days of the week with her or something along the lines but what he said surprised her."Promise me that you will sue Declan and that you will definitely go through with it no matter what happens."She frowned. "How is that paying you back? It's in my favor either way." She looked at him in confusion. Did he have a misunderstanding about the meaning of paying back?"It does pay me back. It's a win-win situation for both you and me."She thought hard about it and still couldn't understand how that was remotely possible."Is it because the man who hurt the woman you love will be behind bars and you will no longer have to see his face around? or, do you have personal grudges with him? Are you planning to use his term in prison as a way to end him?He smiled at her vivid imagination. "It's nothing of the sort. Well, those would be added benefits of putting him behind bars but th
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 71
Charles gave up trying to gain Livian's sympathy. He muttered something about sons being too ungrateful and flipped the folder closed. Livian and Gemma were waiting for him to realize the intensity of the situation and give in.It didn't take long. He initially thought that Livian was using this to blackmail him into letting him keep his position as the CEO of The Dumont Group but he quickly realized that it would not be helpful to use that kind of method. It would have been multiple times more effective if he gave each member of the board of directors a copy of the evidence and made everyone vote against Declan.He had a nice set of cards. If he were to play them right, he would gain whatever he wanted in a snap. The fact that they were here instead, made Charles realize that there was something that Livian wanted more than the shares. What would that be?"What do you want?" He demanded.Livian glanced at Gemma and smiled, then turn
