View MoreKatherine's POV “What's the catch?" I ask Ryan after we settle in a nearby restaurant to talk. I refuse to talk in his car, scared he'd take me out of my own will, since I know him to be a man who gets whatever he wants with whatever means possible. His disdain for the restaurant we are in is obviously written all over his face. He slowly pivots his head towards me, the disgust in his face was palpable and charming at the same time. “This isn't a good place to talk about these things.” I take a look at the restaurant myself, but I don't see anything wrong with the locals having a native meal, and savouring every bite within discussions. And the noise, it's mild enough to hear Ryan's complaints. I shrug, “It was the nearest place to have a quick discussion.” His expression is stern, "Really? I can barely concentrate with all…these.” he gestures to the crowd with his hands. He leaned closer, "We could drive somewhere more…private.” "I'm not driving a mile away just to have a
Katherine's POVThis was the end game. Worse had come to worst, and I didn’t need anyone to tell me—I was the fucking loser in this game. But it felt like more than just a game—I had lost everything. The company—my inheritance—my supposed shot at happiness. I’d lost my peace of mind because there was a raging storm in my head, and the only way I’d found a little quiet was by locking myself in ever since it happened.Willow’s Company, solidly built by my parents for decades, was officially Raynall’s now.

I didn’t care who it was—I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to speak to anyone. That included Ryan.Suddenly, there was a knock—Elle again. She’d been trying to get me
Ryan's POV I had single handedly written the rules in the contract to my taste. And one of the rules was. No strings attached, no physical contact in this fake contract Marriage but here I was, fucking her like I did last time. There's no going back, I'm fucking her hard and she's moaning from real pleasure this time. I love the way she calls out my name, with grave passion, better than the other women have ever moaned my name. Her eyes are closed but I'm watching her and thrusting myself, in and out of her. She's beautiful. That's all I could think of at that moment. Then I finally pull out. We both gasp for air, lying side by side each other. “We just broke a rule in the contract.” She tells me, instead of putting the blame on just me who kissed her first. “I'm aware.” I stared into her hazel eyes. She has lovely eyes. But I look away because something feels weird within me whenever I look at her. I hate the feeling. “We should never do this again.” She says, staring at no
