The doctor slowly approached her afterward. “I understand your concern, but without proper examinations, we cannot fully identify what triggered this condition.”

He crouched slightly beside her afterward. “I’m your son’s class teacher,” he said gently. “He performed very well academically, and I wanted to speak with you personally.”

Her expression immediately softened.

“Really?” she asked quietly.

The doctor nodded carefully. “He takes after his mother a lot.”

    Then came a knock on each cabin door. The sound arrived almost at the same moment across the entire yacht.Clara looked toward the door from where she stood near the edge of the bed, the dark red fabric of her assigned costume falling smoothly against her body while the gold-detailed mask rested carefully against her face. The room lights reflected softly across the marble walls surrounding her suite. The small compartment beside the door slid open slowly.A sealed black card slipped through the lower compartment beneath the door before the opening shut again immediately afterward.Then the hidden speakers across the yacht came alive.“Attention guests. Open the card placed inside your suite and follow the instructions carefully.”The mechanical voice spread smoothly through every room at the same time.“If your assigned card carries a white print, you must remain inside your suite and wait for your designated partner. If your card carries a gold print, you are responsible for locat

    “Are you sure this man really loves you, Clara?”Clara stayed quiet for a moment after Mei’s question settled between them. The room felt heavier than before. The sound of distant waves pressing against the resort’s shore slipped through the open balcony doors, soft but constant.Then she finally shook her head softly. “I’m sure he does, Mei,” she answered quietly. “I just don’t understand why he keeps refusing to go all the way with me.”Mei watched her carefully without interrupting. The confusion inside Clara’s voice sounded too genuine to fake. There was frustration there, but beneath it sat something far worse self-doubt.“Could it be…” Mei stopped midway before giving Clara a careful look.Clara’s eyes widened almost immediately afterward. “No. No, it can’t be that,” she said quickly before the thought could even settle properly inside her own head. “He’s medically okay if that’s what you’re trying to say.”Her voice lowered slightly afterward while embarrassment slowly crept

  • GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE   Chapter 97: Shameless Whore

    The entire beach club slowly quieted the moment the lights around the stage dimmed lower.A soft blue glow spread across the platform while the speakers released a deep rhythmic beat that rolled smoothly through the air like slow fire. The ocean breeze pushed against Clara’s hair the moment she stepped fully into the center, one hand holding the microphone loosely while her waist moved lightly with the rhythm already playing around her.Then the beat changed. It started quietly, a slow street love rhythm that carried only a soft pulse that echoed through the speakers.Even the usual chatter that followed Mei’s announcements had disappeared completely, replaced by a kind of stillness.Clara finally moved. Her first step was small. Her shoulders followed the rhythm next, subtle at first, then gradually aligning with the beat as if her body was remembering something it never forgot.Then her voice finally came through. Smooth and sweet.Hot enough to make several heads turn instantly. J

    The instructors eventually started explaining safety procedures while everybody listened with different levels of seriousness. Clara surprisingly looked calm.Jeffery moved slightly closer toward her afterward. “You’re seriously not scared?”Clara shrugged lightly. “I’ve already been emotionally free-falling since yesterday. This part should be easier.”Jeffery stared at her for two seconds before shaking his head beneath his breath.“You’re impossible.”The instructors eventually started preparing everyone one after another.At some point Clara moved dangerously close toward the platform edge while adjusting her harness, making Jeffery react almost instantly.“Clara step back.”She turned toward him calmly. “Why?”A faint smile appeared briefly on her lips afterward, but it carried more sadness underneath than amusement.“You suddenly remembered I’m your wife again?”That single sentence hit him hard enough to visibly shut him up.Even Clara looked affected immediately afterward.Bec

    “Mei!” Clara gasped, heat rushing to her face. Mei laughed loudly before escaping outside quickly. ‎The moment the door closed completely, silence returned again. ‎Heavy silence. ‎Clara quietly walked toward the bed area first before removing her heels. ‎Jeffery remained near the entrance watching her carefully while trying to figure out whether speaking now would worsen things again. ‎Clara finally climbed onto one side of the bed afterward without looking at him. ‎“Only one of us is sleeping on this bed tonight,” she said calmly. “We are not sleeping together.” ‎Jeffery stayed quiet. ‎“So if you can’t leave,” Clara continued while adjusting the duvet around herself calmly, “then I’ll leave for you.” ‎The moment she started stepping down from the bed, Jeffery immediately moved forward and stopped her gently. ‎“I’ll sleep on the couch.” ‎Clara immediately pulled her hand away from him. ‎“Suit yourself.” ‎Jeffery nodded quietly afterward before reaching for one of the duv

    Jeffery lifted his hand slowly and wiped the tears from her cheeks gently with his thumb, but Clara immediately shook her head afterward, even his softness hurt her more right now. The silence that followed between them felt painfully heavy because both of them clearly understood there was something standing between them now even if only one person fully knew what it was.Clara slowly leaned back slightly against the bed again, emotionally exhausted from holding everything inside for too long. The anger inside her had started fading already, but the confusion remained painfully strong. She looked at Jeffery again afterward, this time softer, almost like she didn’t even want to fight anymore. “I’m not your enemy, Jeffery,” she whispered quietly. “I’m your wife.”Her voice broke slightly at the last sentence.“You always act like there’s something stopping you that I don’t even know about,” she continued softly. “And every time you shut me out like this, it hurts more than you think.

    Clara’s body throbbed with exhaustion. Each breath rasped against the gag, and every tremor of her arms sent jolts of pain up her veins. Sweat clung to her skin, tears streaked down her cheeks. Her muscles ached from being bound so tightly, and every movement brought new shocks that left her whimpe

    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, ste

    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 h

  • 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
