The man remained completely silent. He simply tilted his head slightly and crossed his arms over his chest, as if waiting to see what the young woman would say or do next.

Rory paused for a moment to take a deep breath. “You already know who I am. And I am sure you had me investigated, and I suppose Dad has already mentioned me to you. But let me introduce myself: I am Rory Salazar—your future wife once you agree to the deal. But if you think I’m here today to beg you or to force the marriage D

  • His Bride by Contract, His Obsession by Fate   Chapter Eighty Nine

    Richard slowly drank his wine until not a single drop was left. Just a few minutes later, his eyelids began to feel heavy. Leaning against the edge of the bed, he tried to speak and reach out for Rory, but his head ultimately slumped onto the soft pillow, and he fell into a deep, heavy snore.Once she was certain he was completely unconscious, the sweet smile instantly vanished from Rory's face. She retrieved the glass from his hand and set it down on the table.She immediately reached for Richard's phone resting on the nightstand. Using the finger of the fast-asleep man, she quickly unlocked the screen.Rory first opened the messaging app. Her brow furrowed upon seeing that the inbox was impeccably clean—his entire conversation history with Alana was deleted, along with his exchanges with her mother, Amanda. She rolled her eyes quietly.‘Taking extra care not to get caught,’ Rory thought, shaking her head.Next, she opened the main Gallery app. She expected to find evidence of their

    Richard slammed the apartment door shut, directing his intense anger and disappointment toward Alana and Amanda before rushing down the building to pursue Rory.When Richard emerged into the lobby, his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. He spotted the young woman by the driveway, waiting for a ride. His hands trembled with anxiety and fear that she might completely change her mind about their upcoming wedding, even as a powerful wave of desire for her consumed him.“Rory! Rory, wait!” Richard shouted as he sprinted toward her.Rory slowly turned around. Before fully facing him, she adjusted her expression, adopting a meek and stoic demeanor. Her eyes were still slightly red as she looked at the man rushing toward her.“Richard? Why did you follow me?” Rory asked softly, her voice trembling. “I told you to spend some time inside. Alana and Mommy need you more—”“No, Rory, please, listen to me,” Richard stammered desperately, quickly taking both of her hands in his. “Pay no mind to

    Amanda quickly pushed Richard into the other room before rushing toward the apartment door. Taking a deep breath to catch her composure, she slowly opened it. Rory stood in the hallway, looking utterly elegant with her head slightly tilted, holding a small paper bag. An awkward smile played on her lips as she gazed at her mother's flustered face. "Mommy," Rory greeted warmly and with concern as she stepped inside. "Why was the door password changed? The old code kept giving me an error. I thought something terrible had happened to you here." Amanda swallowed hard, rapidly coming up with an excuse. "A-Ah, Rory! It’s you... Well, Alana changed it this morning because she was panicked by the news about a burglar in the neighboring building. Besides, you mentioned you wouldn't be coming home for a while, right? That’s why we forgot to tell you." "Is that so?" Rory replied, her eyes sweeping across the living room. She immediately spotted a pair of men's shoes near the entrance and a lu

    At the Salazar home…Alana sat on the edge of the bed, her body trembling violently as she wept in intense rage and humiliation."I hate you, Rory! You’re a devill!" Alana screamed, slamming her fist into a pillow once more. "You act so holy! You even dared to show off right in front of me! And Richard... that useless coward just let his mother trample all over me!"Amanda rushed into the room and immediately shut the door behind her. Her eyes widened in shock as she took in the chaotic state of the room and her daughter's pale, sweaty face."Alana, please, calm down!" Amanda cried out, stepping forward to grasp her daughter's shoulders. "Think about the baby! Something terrible could happen if you go wild like this! You'll put your pregnancy at risk! Richard and his family will only reject you more. That child in your womb is your key to getting in and being accepted by them.""I don't care!" Alana retorted hysterically, sniffling. "Did you see how Mrs. Summers humiliated me?! And Ro

    Rory blinked. "Mrs. Rivaz..." she whispered, as if testing the weight of the name on her tongue."Owned by me," Rue added slowly before finally lowering his head.Rue pressed his lips against Rory's. The initial meeting of their lips was slow and deliberate. Unhurried, yet filled with an intense depth and pressure that made Rory's heart leap in her chest. She could feel the warmth of Rue's skin, the subtle scent of expensive whiskey, and the cool taste of mint blending with his breath.Rory closed her eyes. Her hands, which had been resting passively on his chest, slowly traveled up toward his shoulders and neck, her fingers tangling into the soft hair at the back of his head. Her mind whirred in confusion—she couldn't deny the electrifying current surging through her body. It was a intoxicating mixture of intense craving, hesitation, and a strange sense of protection that no other man had ever made her feel, least of all Richard.Rue tightened his grip around her waist, adjusting his

    Rory rushed back to the Dimitrios Mansion, choosing to skip visiting her own place for the time being. Exhaustion suddenly washed over her, sending her straight to sleep. At around five in the afternoon, she woke up feeling thirsty. After grabbing a glass of water, she picked up her phone.‘My office. 6 PM. Don't be late.’Rory swallowed hard as she stared at Rue's brief message.At six o'clock sharp, Rory stood outside the door of the executive suite at the Rivaz Group headquarters. Martin opened the door for her, offering a sympathetic smile."Good luck, Miss Rory," the secretary whispered softly before closing the door from the outside.Rue sat behind his large desk, leaning back in his leather chair as he slowly swirled a glass of whiskey in his hand. His suit jacket was gone, and the sleeves of his white button-down shirt were rolled up."So you arrived after all," Rue greeted coldly without even looking at her.Rory approached slowly, trying to maintain her calm, playful demeano
