Mark

I didn’t sleep a damn wink. I just lay there on the stiff-ass couch, staring at the ceiling like it had answers, while Viola slept like a queen on my bed.

I was supposed to be in control, it was the one thing I had left after swallowing my pride to agree to this circus of a marriage. I even agreed to let her move into my room thinking that at least, I’d set the rules in here but then she flipped the entire table on me.

I should’ve known something was off the second she stepped into the room and didn’t look scared. Hell, she looked like she expected a fight and worse, like she’d already won.

And she did really win because by the time she was done talking, I had nothing. No threats, no comebacks, just hit rage burning inside of me. She had me cornered, and she knew it.

I gritted my teeth and turned on the couch for the hundredth time, punching the pillow like that would help anything. It didn’t. Every part of me burned with how badly I wanted to put her in her place. Of course not

  • Forever Contracted to the Billionaire’s Heart   Viola Sterling

    SophieMark walked in looking sharp and confident as ever, and as usual, my heart stupidly skipped a beat the second I heard his footsteps approaching.I adjusted my blouse quickly, smoothed down my skirt, and grabbed my tablet before heading toward his office. He hated delays and I’ve never given him one. I live to be ready for him.He had just dropped his keys on the table and was unbuttoning his blazer when I knocked once and stepped inside.“Good morning, Sir:” I let out while he looked at me and smiled. He knew I was goofing around, I always address him by his name but when I want to get some of that sweet smile, I become formal. It always works so I always use it.“Morning Sophie, you look good.” He replied and I smiled too.“Thank you, Mark.” “You’ve got two back-to-back meetings this morning,” I began, standing straight. “First is with the legal team about the Wexler contracts, and then at ten, your father requested a call with the board. Apparently, he wants to go over last

  • Forever Contracted to the Billionaire’s Heart   Mark is a crazy man!

    ViolaFor a few seconds, I sat there, stunned, I couldn’t even hear what Jared was saying anymore. His voice just faded into the background like a distant echo and my eyes were still on the contract, but the words had begun to blur together. I wasn’t reading anymore. I was just... existing and breathin in confusion.I wasn’t naive enough to think Mark had suddenly become a decent man but after my little talk with Brenda, I thought I had finally gotten some ground to stand on and to protect myself with.Turned out I was just deceiving myself, Mark had just taken this whole thing to a new level. I didn’t even look at him at first, I just kept my eyes on the contract and tried to steady my hands on my lap. My fingers were twitching and that was always my tell when I was spiraling inside. I knew he was watching me and waiting for a reaction. He’d so happy to see me explode, crying and screaming my dignity out, but I gave him none of that.“This is what you stayed up all night planning?”

    ViolaThe second Mark walked out, I let out a breath I didn’t know I’d been holding. He had gotten on my nerves so much and I desperately wanted him gone. The way he talked about me like I was there was so annoying and if I had my way, I would have shut him up right away. That would just have been too messy with his parents sitting there and I didn’t want to disrespect them. They didn’t ask for this, we did. We were the ones who got so drunk and just f*cked each other carelessly. I pushed my food around my plate for a bit longer, trying to appear normal, but the air felt heavier with him gone, and I could feel Frank’s gaze on me, quiet but sharp, as if trying to read what was going on behind my eyes. I didn’t want him to and I didn’t want any more probing tonight so I set my fork down and stood up, planning to slip away before someone said something I didn’t have the energy to respond to.“A maid will come get you shortly to help move your things into Mark’s room.” Frank said while I

  • Forever Contracted to the Billionaire’s Heart   Change of plans

    MarkI slammed the door behind me so hard as I walked out of the house. My blood was boiling. I couldn’t even see straight from how pissed I was.Get married to her? What the actual hell was my father thinking?I stormed out of the house without looking back. My mom called my name, and my dad shouted something after me, but I didn’t even care. I’m not a child so why force a marriage I don’t want on me. A girl I barely even know! I needed some air and space and maybe a drink too… actually, several drinks because that’s the only way this can ever make any sense. I got in my car and drove like a maniac across town before finally parking outside Ridge’s Bar. The minute I walked in, I spotted Barry in our usual booth, two glasses already on the table. I didn’t even call to tell him I was coming but he already knew. He looked up and raised a brow. “That bad?”I sank into the seat opposite him, grabbed a glass, and downed it in one go. The burn felt good. It shut out the noise in my head,

    Viola“Hi, Miss Viola, the checkout time is ten, that's about thirty minutes from now. We’d like to know when you'll be leaving so we can send in the cleaners,” the receptionist said over the phone.I was in the bathroom when the phone rang, and I had to run out to answer it. My hair was still dripping, so I held it up while I thought about my next step. I don't have a house to go back to, my bank accounts have been frozen, and my boyfriend is a ba*stard cheat.I used all the money on me to pay for the night, and now that the hotel wants me out, I have to come up with a plan, or I'd be on the streets in thirty minutes.“Ma’am? Are you there?” the lady called out.I didn't have an answer yet and was about to hang up when my eyes suddenly wandered to the bed. The money Mr. Rude stranger gave me was still lying there, carelessly. Just then, I knew what I had to do.“You know what? I'd be booking for a week.” I finally found my voice.“Okay ma'am, do you need anything? Food, drinks…”“Yes
