Ava continued pacing the hallway of the hospital. She was sweating profusely and continuously biting her lips. She was nervous. Liam was the only family member she had left, and she couldn't lose him. She looked through the operation room window, and Liam was still coughing off blood.

She began regretting agreeing to the surgery. It didn't only cause him amnesia, but now he was coughing off blood. Hot balls of tears rolled down her face. Her vision went blurry, and she was slightly out of breat

  • His Contract Bride   CHAPTER 12

    Ava watched as the butler went out of the room. She breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the door. She really didn't mean to scream that way. She was so scared of what she saw in the video.The night her father committed suicide, someone had actually come to see her father. And immediately after, her father committed suicide.She played the video again and slowed it down, putting it in slow motion. Looking at the person, he was bound to be very handsome. His hair colour was similar to Erickson's jet-black hair, but was shorter than Erickson's.Realizing herself, Ava thought to herself—was she suspecting Erickson? No. He was a sweet soul. He wouldn't harm anyone.But speaking of which, Ava thought deeper into the situation. Her father was a very cheerful person and happy. During the period his struggling company had an investor who wanted to invest in his company, along the line he committed suicide, which not only baffled Ava but confused her.And the person in this video seemed

    Throughout the ride, Ava spent it crying, which Erickson didn't understand. She didn't cry out in a disturbing way. She just cried silently.Had he hurt her in any way? For God's sake, even if it was a contract marriage, he married her legally, and per agreement, they could have sexual interactions to have a baby. He didn't understand why she was a handful of emotions. One minute she was smiling, the next minute she was sad, the next minute she was crying. It was obvious she was clearly messing with him.But seeing her sniffle and wipe those seductive eyes, he couldn't bear to let her keep crying. So he called out to her in a gentle voice. "Ava."She just looked at him and didn't say a word, which was one of the things he found most pissing about her. Seeing the hickey marks on her neck, he felt a dark spark in him. He wanted to kiss her again. He never found a way to say it, but he didn't just marry Ava as his contract bride. She was, in fact, his first love. His relationship with Ka

  • His Contract Bride   CHAPTER 10

    Tears welled in Selene's eyes when she got a message from Richard saying he wanted to see both of them. She was really excited — she had grown sick and tired of hiding, of being kept as a mistress. At least she was better than the so-called wife who couldn't give Richard a child. Tears rolled down her face as she looked at Richard. Why should she be the hidden one? Richard, seeing Selene's tears, couldn't stand to watch her cry.But fearing Claire, he didn't dare go near her. Claire felt so much heartache — if not for her physical condition, she would have borne many children for Richard. In the past, when she'd complained about her infertility, Richard always told her not to worry, that he loved her with or without a child, and she'd believed him. God, she had believed him — only to get a message on her phone saying Richard was cheating and had a nine-year-old son. She wasn't in the mood to quarrel, drag it out, or question him. All she knew was that her marriage to Richard was over.

    Erickson walked out of Blackwood Enterprise, and his assistant opened the door to the Rolls-Royce. Erickson got in. His assistant turned to him."Sir, where are we heading to?" he asked, noticing that despite all the scandal, his boss had been in an oddly good mood. And in years, this was the first time he had seen his boss smile."Head to Grandfather's house. I have some things to discuss with him," Erickson said, then picked up his phone and dialed a contact saved with a love emoji."Babe," he called to the person on the phone.Ava replied, "Erickson, what did you say?" She was heading to the reception when she picked up the call, so she didn't really catch what he said.Erickson, recovering from what he said, said with a cold voice, "Bunny, is the surgery done?" he asked, a smile unknowingly forming at his lips.Ava sounded a bit tired over the phone. "Yes, it is done. He has already been moved to the ICU unit."Erickson smiled properly now, his dimples more distinctive. "Hope you

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 their life.Erickson looked out, staring at the stars. He missed his first love so much, and worse, she didn't let him close. As he was about to take another puff, a tiny finger snatched his cigarette. It turned out to be his bunny.She stared at him with her big watery eyes and said, "Smokers are liable to die young."He stared at her. It seemed like he was looking at her, but he was staring at her soft pink lips. Then he said, "Is what you are living a life?" he asked with a sneer.Ava found
