GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 52: Unplanned Night
A guard arrived minutes later, Clara pushed past him, her hands shaking. “He needs a hospital! Please, help him!” she said, trying to lift Jeffery herself. His body was too heavy. She couldn’t move him. Logan shook his head. “Not hospital. He doesn’t go to hospitals. We take him home,” he said as he lifted Jeffery carefully, keeping his weight balanced. Clara stayed close. She touched his arm, just to make sure he didn’t slip. They moved through the debris toward the car. Clara checked his breathing and pulse constantly. Every time it slowed, she panicked. Logan moved carefully, one hand on the car door for support. Inside, Logan laid Jeffery across the backseat. Clara leaned over him, watching. She stayed close, pressing her hand lightly to his arm. Clara whispered, “Stay with me… please stay with me.” Logan took out his phone and called ahead. “Prepare everything. He’s coming home.” His tone was urgent. The streets were empty. The tires hummed over the asphalt. Clara’s grip o

Smoke filled the overturned car, making it hard to breathe. The sharp smell of leaking fuel mixed with blood hanging heavily in the cold night air. Logan was the first to regain consciousness, his head pounding badly as warm blood ran down the side of his face from the deep cut on his forehead.He groaned and forced his eyes open, trying to understand what had happened. The world around him still spun from the violent crash, but then he heard Jeffery’s weak voice from the back seat. “Logan…” Jeffery called faintly, his voice strained with pain.That single word gave Logan the strength to move. He pushed against the damaged driver’s door until it gave way, then dragged himself out onto the road. His knees nearly buckled beneath him, but he turned back immediately when he heard Jeffery cough weakly from inside the wreck.The back of the car was crushed badly, twisted metal pressing inward from every side. Jeffery was slumped against the broken seat, blood running down from his neck an

Jeffery hands moved slowly over her shoulders, then down her arms, checking if the marks he had left on her skin hurt her.“Clara... Did I hurt you somewhere?” he asked softly.She shook her head quickly, hiding her face against his chest. “No… it’s not that,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “I… I just… I feel scared.”He frowned slightly, tightening his hold, unsure what scared her. “Scared of what?” he asked, brushing her eyebrow with his thumb.Clara lifted her face slowly. Her eyes were wet, and her lips quivered. “I… I’m scared of how much I need you. When you d...don’t.....don't move or do what I want, I feel hel....helpless. Like… I might lose you, even for a moment.” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.Jeffery forced a breath, but his chest remained rigid. He cupped her face gently. “Clara, that’s not true, I’m right here for you and I’m not holding back because I don’t want you.” His thumb brushed her cheek. “It’s because this night is too important. I didn

Clara turned slowly and walked closer to him, her smile bright and warm. The fear that had gripped Jeffery all evening slowly melted away as he looked at her. She moved with calm grace, and everything else in the room seemed to fade until she was the only thing he could see.When she reached him, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders. Jeffery pulled her close without thinking, letting relief wash over him like cool water after a long storm. He held her tightly, feeling the beat of her heart against his own as if it was reminding him she was truly here.Clara lifted her face and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips. “Happy birthday,” she whispered. The words settled deeply in his chest, touching a place no gift ever could.Jeffery’s eyes stayed on her face for a long moment. “All this… for me?” he asked in a low voice, still taking in the beauty around him. Clara smiled, her eyes shining in the soft light, and took his hand.“Of course. You didn’t think I would let your birthday pass

She had returned the insult cleanly. For the first time that evening, Chloe truly studied her. This was not the easy target she expected. The event moved forward, but the air had changed.Now the women were paying attention to Clara in a different way. Not because she was Jeffery’s wife but because she had handled Chloe Dalton without flinching.As dinner was served, conversations slowly opened. A jewelry heiress beside Clara leaned closer."You handled that well,” she said quietly. Clara only gave a small smile.Across the table, Chloe sipped her wine, her gaze fixed briefly on Clara. Inside, irritation coiled beneath her polished expression. She had expected discomfort or even humiliation.Instead, Clara had made herself look even stronger.The rest of the women noticed it too. Power in their world was rarely loud.Sometimes it was simply the ability to remain untouched and tonight, Clara had done exactly that.By the end of the gathering, more women approached her. One spoke about

Then the perfect moment came. Just when Jeffery was supposed to fully take the lead, her clip suddenly filled the projector screen. The board members were caught off guard, voices rising across the room as surprise spread from one end of the table to the other. It was exactly the break she wanted. What still amused her till now was how she had already prepared for the second part too. The same clip she arranged to release was the same one she stood up to defend. Before anyone could twist it into something worse, she stepped in and took control of the room. She spoke with confidence, redirected the attention and made it look like an unfortunate interruption that she handled with grace. That day, she was both the problem and the solution. The more she thought about it, the more the memory made her smile. Malcolm truly believed he was buying time for himself, never knowing his phone had been the exact door she needed to enter the boardroom system. And in the end, it worked better than
