That night Ava barely slept a wink. She couldn't wait for the next day. At least one of her biggest problems was coming to an end tomorrow.

She heard footsteps. She wasn't sleepy, so she decided to go outside too. She was very sure it was Erickson, so she decided to follow him. She knew that today's event was a big bone on his neck. She stood at the corridor, staring at him. He leaned on the balcony rail and smoked. His figure appeared lonely. Ava wondered if this was how wealthy families lived

  • His Contract Bride   CHAPTER 24

    After Richard ended the call with Dr. Silvia, he smashed the phone. That bastard Ava. Why was she getting in the way again? His plan was almost set with the last dose of Dark Vine, but Ava decided to mess it up. He called Alex, his lab scientist who helped him prepare Dark Vine."Big boss, any problem?" Alex's voice cut through the speakers."Is Overdrive ready?" Richard asked.He needed to get both Liam and Ava out of his way. They were stumbling stones in his success. So he had to get them out of his way. Liam's constant investigation was getting on his nerves. Because of his goddamn investigation, his casino was closed down, and his beta account was closed and under investigation by the police. He paid heavily to avoid the news getting to the media. He couldn't afford getting on his grandfather's bad side."Sir, it's not ready yet. We still have to test it on a lab animal to know how effective it is."Richard was very irritated. "Forget the test. I have a very good lab animal for t

    Ava returned home. She was totally exhausted, but she was still very curious about confirming if she was really pregnant, or if all these were just misconceptions.She took out the test tube from her handbag. Her hand shook. She didn't know why, but she was so scared. She got the test done, breathing in and out. She finally summoned the courage to look at the test tube.Double lines.She was pregnant.She didn't just know how to feel. She didn't know if she should feel happy or sad. But she felt the urge to cry. She broke down in tears. She didn't know why she was crying, but she just felt the urge to cry.After crying for a while, she cursed at herself. "Why am I such a cry baby?" She rinsed her face and then stepped out.She decided to go speak to Erickson. She didn't understand what the cold shoulder was all about. She put on her flip-flops and went to check for him in the study. She didn't see him, then she went back upstairs to check the guest room, thinking the doctor had come f

  • His Contract Bride   CHAPTER 22

    Ava had not noticed that Erickson had seen the scene between herself and Richard. She had lied to Richard that she had accepted to spy on Erickson and give him information. Maybe due to mother's instincts, she couldn't stand her unborn baby being put at risk of getting hurt before being brought to the world. She knew that in wealthy families, in a bid to get whatever they wanted, every disgusting move could be pulled, provided they were able to get what they want—just like what they did to Erickson.She adjusted her gown, and maybe due to the suffocating presence of Richard, she went into the restroom to vomit. It really didn't feel good being pregnant, but she felt a really strong connection towards her baby. This was a piece of herself and Erickson's love.Her phone, which was placed on the side of the ceramic sink, rang. She picked it up after wiping her hands on the paper towel and answered."Liam," Ava answered with some emotion in her voice.Liam breathed a sigh of relief. "Than

    After Dr. Silvia left, Ava still felt a chill. Erickson noticed her odd character and uncomfortable look and asked, "Baby, what's wrong? Why do you look worried?" he asked, sitting up. After the massage and the injection, he felt a little more better.Ava shook her head. "It's nothing. I just feel a little tired," she said, trying to put on her usual bright smile."Come here, baby," he said.She sat beside him on the bed. He cupped her face with both hands. She wasn't running a temperature."You look fine, and your body temperature is just warm," he kissed her lips.Ava smiled. He may seem so cold, but he was such a sweet soul. "I'm fine. Come on, let's go see Old Blackwood.""Since when did you get so excited seeing the old man?" Erickson asked.Ava paused. She realized her excitement had been too obvious. "I am not excited. I am just happy today.""Alright, that can pass for an answer," he said.He pulled his wheelchair close. Ava couldn't stand the scene and helped him sit."You do

  • His Contract Bride   CHAPTER 20

    Erickson was still in shock, actually trying to process the whole thing. Why were the people he loved most getting hurt? Although Wes seemed to be just an assistant in the eyes of others, Wes was more than that to him. He and Wes practically grew up together. He was Old Blackwood's butler's son.He didn't say a word, but Ava could read the emotion in his eyes. He managed to sit up, and she rubbed his back. Although she didn't spend much time with Wes, she could boldly say he was a good guy.She cautiously asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"Sincerely, Erickson had received so much blow today.

    After vomiting, Ava sighed in frustration. A realization struck her. She hadn't seen her period this month. Was it late? Or was it what she was thinking? Was she pregnant?She could be, because of all the sex she had with Erickson. She hadn't used protection. Remembering early days, she cursed that rogue with the possibility of pregnancy.She felt happy. This was one of Erickson's wishes. She decided she would get a pregnancy test tomorrow after coming back from Old Blackwood's house. Then she picked up the recorder Liam had given her and put it in the handbag she was going to carry tomorrow. She decided to take a nap. Erickson was in the study with Wes, so when she woke up, it would be dinner time and they could have dinner together.---ERICKSON'S STUDYWes brought out the documents he had printed from the investigation he was asked to make and handed them over to Erickson.After going through the file, Erickson smashed the glass of water on the floor.
