GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 33: Torn in Silence
She tried to steady herself, pressing a hand to the side of her head. The noise of the party began to fade, replaced by a sharp ringing in her ears that blurred everything around her.A figure came up close beside her, and before she could react, a strong hand pressed firmly over her mouth. She struggled slightly, the edge of consciousness still holding her captive but the grip was too tight and did not loosen.The masked man in black bent down beside her, supporting her under the shoulders and back as she went limp, unable to resist the careful restraint.Clara’s vision blurred further as the person lifted her effortlessly, He held her close, keeping her out of sight as he moved. She tried to push against him, but her strength failed her.The man moved quickly toward a side door, keeping her hidden from view as he guided her steadily toward a car parked nearby, waiting quietly. The vehicle sat in silence, engine off, until he carefully lifted her inside. Clara’s head rested against
GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 32: One Moment Torn in Two
Clara stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the fall of her long gown as it settled neatly around her. The crochet fabric draped smoothly, reaching the floor in a soft line that moved lightly when she shifted. It's gentle tone mirrored the light, elegant without glare. She took a slow breath, steadying herself as the familiar discomfort pressed low in her body. Ignoring it, she lifted her chin slightly and turned away from the mirror.H1 remained nearby, its presence silent but attentive. “Departure is in ten minutes,” it informed her. Clara picked up her cup, letting the warmth settle into her palms before taking a small sip. The lingering warmth gave her a sense of stability, guiding her concentration. She set the cup aside and moved toward the door.At the entrance downstairs, Jeffery listened as Logan gave a final update. “Guest list is confirmed. Security teams are already stationed inside and outside the property,” Logan said, keeping his tone low. Jeffery’s eyes held a qui
GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 31: As It Should Be
H1 entered Clara’s room with its usual soft hum. She was struggling to stand when it appeared in the doorway. Every step hurt, and even gripping the edge of the bed for support required effort. “Good morning,” H1 said gently. “Mr. Rothwell requested I check if you need anything.”Clara shook her head slowly, biting back a groan.“No… I’m okay,” she whispered. Her voice sounded steadier than she felt.The robot’s sensors lingered on her posture. “Are you certain?”“Yes,” she replied, a little more firmly, though even speaking required exertion. She leaned against the bed, trying to steady herself. H1 gave a slight nod, then retreated quietly, leaving her in the soft light of the room.Clara exhaled slowly, letting her body settle. Her cramps throbbed with sharp, stubborn insistence, but she refused to let them dictate more than they already had. She shifted slightly, pressing her hands against her lower abdomen, waiting for a moment of relief that seemed to come only gradually.Evenin
GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 30: More Than What He Saw
Later that night, Jeffery stood alone in his study. The screen in front of him replayed the same footage again. A small phone hidden beneath her hair. His eyes stayed on it, his thoughts going beyond what the screen actually showed.He replayed it once more. Clara wasn't aware he knew, or at least that was how it appeared. Nothing in her movement suggested she knew she was being recorded that day. Yet the placement of that phone told a different story. She had put it there on purpose.He leaned back slightly, his mind had already moved elsewhere. He thought about the boardroom. About how she stood up without hesitation and spoke as if she already understood the situation better than everyone else in the room. She didn’t defend herself like someone under pressure. She spoke like someone who knew where the truth stood and refused to let anything shift it. That was what stayed with him.The footage raised questions, but her actions earlier the day did the same. One suggested something hi
GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 29: Victory at Last
Jeffery leaned back slightly, a small, tight smile on his lips. Clara stayed close, brushing her hand briefly against his. It was enough. Everything was done.Board members shifted in their seats. Malcolm forced himself to look at Jeffery. There was no choice. The vote had confirmed it. The official announcement would be made, and the moment had arrived.A few members offered muted congratulations. Malcolm stepped forward with a stiff nod. “Congratulations son,” he said, his tone formal but forced. Jeffery inclined his head slightly, accepting it with calm dignity. Clara’s hand lingered on his arm. She smiled fully at him, relief and pride showing, though her posture remained composed. “You did it,” she whispered. “Finally, after everything, it’s yours.”Jeffery’s shoulders relaxed just a little. “It’s done,” he said quietly. This victory was theirs together.He stood and addressed the room, voice steady. “Thank you. I won’t let you down. I won’t let the company down.” Heads nodded,
GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 28: Taking Control
“…there is a truth behind it.”Every eye in the room turned toward her.“The truth,” she continued, “is that we live in a world controlled by technology. Videos, images, even messages can be manipulated. What you just saw is small. It should not mean anything unless it was created or released by the right people. And if that is the case, then the law has consequences for such actions.”She let her words hang for a second, letting them sink in. The board members exchanged glances.She continue speaking without sparing anyone a gaze."If someone thinks they can release an illegal video of any of us, just as this one was released, do they believe the world will consider it truth? Do they think that makes them right? Do they imagine there will be no consequences?” Her voice was firm, carrying weight with each word. “I am not asking for your judgment. I am stating a fact. Such acts are punishable, and anyone who thinks otherwise is either naive or reckless.”She leaned forward slightly, he
