His Contracted Obsession Chapter 19
Before I started attending Lucien’s events as his wife, I needed to give up my work as a waitress at the club. I didn't want to risk his reputation being dragged through people's conversations just because he had chosen a wife who worked at a club. I could already imagine the fury on his face if people started talking about him for marrying someone like me, especially someone he had met there. In my mind, I could almost see him tearing me apart like a piece of paper.The thought alone made the hairs on my arms stand.I knew this deal was dangerous. No matter how reasonable the contract looked, I couldn't forget who I had just agreed to marry. Lucien Ashford had enough power to destroy my life with a single decision, and if I made even one mistake, there was nothing stopping him from using that power against me. And those little acts of kindness? The food, the rides, the way he made sure I was safe... Maybe they were nothing more than bait. Maybe he was simply making me comfortable eno

When I stepped out of the café, a shadow suddenly fell over me. I looked up toward where it was coming from and found Lucien standing right in front of me. He was so tall that he seemed to cover my entire view.He reached for the strap of my bag and slowly pulled it toward himself, his movements unhurried, as if giving me the chance to stop him if I wanted to. When his fingers brushed against mine, a faint shiver ran through my arm. I instinctively loosened my grip and let go of the strap, allowing him to take my bag.Nauna na akong naglakad papuntang sasakyan niyang nakaparada hindi kalayuan sa café.“Hello po,” I greeted when I saw aling Martha before she could enter the kitchen.Lumingon si Aling Martha sa direksyon ko, ngunit saglit na nanatili ang kaniyang tingin sa likuran ko—kay Lucien, na ngayon ay dumiretso na sa sala habang dala pa rin ang bag ko. Napansin ko rin ang ngiti sa kaniyang mga labi na lalo pang lumapad at tila wala nang balak mawala roon. Hindi ko alam kung ano a

After tidying up the counter, it only took a few minutes before customers started coming in.“Good morning! What would you like to order?”From the corner of my eye, I could still see Betty peeking at me every now and then, her eyebrows repeatedly rising and falling. Kinalabit ito ni kuya Ben and motioned for her to get back to work. Napailing na lang ako at pinagpatuloy ang pagtetake ng order.After punching in orders and preparing what the customers requested, my legs gradually started to ache. I couldn't sit down yet because there were still customers coming in. Another customer entered and placed an order, which I passed to Kuya Ben. He prepared it, but when he was done, the customer was nowhere to be seen.Kuya Ben and I exchanged confused looks.“Ilagay ko na lang muna sa ref,” I said, taking the order from him.I brought it into the kitchen and placed it inside the refrigerator.“Ryn, may naghahanap sa’yo.”I turned around and saw Kuya Ben's head poking through the doorway. I s

First thing in the morning, nagmamadali akong mag-ayos sa banyo para maabutan si Lucien bago siya umalis. Hindi ko na nagawang suklayin ang basa kong buhok. Pagkatapos ko itong kuskusin gamit ang towel, basta ko na lang iyon iniwan sa ibabaw ng kama at dali-daling bumaba ng hagdan.Pagdating ko sa dining area, huminto muna ako sandali upang ayusin ang paghinga ko. Ayokong magmukhang hinahabol ko siya, kahit iyon naman talaga ang nangyayari.Mr. Ashford was already there, dressed in his work attire with a cup of coffee in hand. Judging by how put-together he looked, he seemed ready to leave at any moment.Umupo ako sa kabilang bahagi ng mesa.“We need rules,” sabi ko agad.Bahagya siyang huminto bago muling uminom ng kape. “Hmm…”“Don't enter my room without knocking,” panimula ko.“Okay.”“Don't pay for my personal things.”“Okay.”Napatingin ako sa kaniya nang saglit bago nagpatuloy.“Let me still work. I'll resign sa club soon after my contract there.”Saglit siyang natigil sa ginag

Matapos kong mabasa ang kontrata, ang daming tanong ang nagsimulang magsulputan sa isip ko. Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ba ako, magdududa, o magtatanong kung seryoso ba talaga ang lalaking nasa harapan ko. Sa dami ng kontratang nakita ko sa mga palabas at nababasa sa internet, hindi ko akalaing darating ang araw na ako mismo ang hahawak ng isang marriage contract—at lalong hindi ko inakalang ang kontratang iyon ay magiging ganito.Binasa ko ulit ang unang ilang kondisyon.Ninety days.Separate bedrooms.Public appearances.Monthly allowance.Protection.Time and interference.All of them made sense. At least, I could understand why those things needed to be included in the contract. But the further down my eyes traveled through the conditions, the more confused I became.Emergency Contact.Apparently, I was required to call him before anyone else whenever I was in danger.I blinked.Why?But that wasn't the end of the strange conditions.There was also a clause about not putting mysel

I didn't ask Lucien why he was there. I simply didn't have the energy to question anything anymore. My legs were still trembling from running, my chest hurt from struggling to breathe, and every time I closed my eyes, I could still see Macario inside my room with that small photograph of me in his hand. The image made my stomach twist all over again, and I hated how helpless my body felt even though I had already gotten away.Lucien didn't say anything as he approached me. He only opened the car door and waited, giving me enough space to decide for myself whether I wanted to get in. There was something about the way he stood there—calm, patient, completely unhurried—that made the panic inside me settle, even if only a little.For some reason, that was enough.I got inside.During the entire ride, neither of us spoke. I kept my hands clasped tightly over my lap, staring out the window while trying to convince myself that I was finally somewhere safe. Every now and then, I caught Lucien
