Lust Contracts Chaos
**Roughly 3 Months Ago**“To this address please. Please drive as fast as you can…” I said hurriedly as I handed my business card that had my address on it to the taxi driver. It’s been years since I’ve last ridden in a taxi. Being a rich socialite like I was, taking the taxi is just out of the question. However, today was different. Everything in my life was changing and I knew it. My body ached from last night and I felt extremely uncomfortable. The fact that the taxi driver kept glancing over at me from the rearview mirror, didn’t help to improve my unstable mood. I reached my hand into my limited-edition brand handbag and fished out the shameful papers that that man dared to rub in my face last night. My eyes narrowed in anger at the divorce papers that I held in my hands. How dare he sign these divorce papers and then sell me off to another man like that?! It wasn’t like I didn’t want to divorce from my husband. Marrying him was the worst mistake that I have made in my short l
Lust Contracts Sudden Departure
What is going on? Why are they mentioning my husband like there’s something wrong with him? Did something happen to him? I looked around in panic. This wasn’t the time to feel giddy about receiving public attention. Where are the security guards? “Security!!!” I shouted loudly demanding for security to come and guard me. These reporters are getting more aggressive as they surrounded me. For a moment, it felt like they were going to swallow me up like a tsunami wave crashing onto the shore. This is insane. A few security guards were coming my way now along with them were a few men dressed in police uniform. The police is here? Why are they here? I had nothing but questions in my mind and none of them were getting answered. Soon, the guards were in front of me and helping to push the reporters and the paparazzies back. At the same time the policemen approached me and that was when I knew that something serious must have happened. The policemen had very sterned and grim looks on thei
Lust Contracts Money Obsession
“Liam, where are you?” I spoke through the phone. “Madame. I’m on standby downstairs with the car. I figured…that you’ll be going somewhere…” Liam said politely but I could hear the remorse in his voice. I hired Liam as my private driver not long after I married my husband. At first, I hesitated because I liked driving myself around and enjoying my privacy in the car. However, George had insisted that it would reflect poorly on us if I didn’t have a driver to escort me to places, especially if I was heading to a public event with the press around. Liam’s absolute sense of responsibility made him one of the best decisions that I have ever made in my marriage with George where everything else sort of went wrong. “Thank you, Liam…I don’t know how to thank you enough,” I said as I felt tears creeping into my eyes. I’m about to start crying again. Honestly, I hated crying in front of strangers, but I couldn’t hold it in in front of the policemen earlier either. George’s sudden departur
Lust Contracts Adoption
She looked at the couple that was here today and prayed silently that they would choose to adopt one of the kids and provide the child with a good home. The couple had contacted her for a while now saying that they were interested in adopting a girl to help them get over the recent loss of their own daughter. The couple were immaculately dressed in fine clothing that were not commonly seen in this small town. It was clear that they were wealthy and came from the city. The man in the suit had a serious expression on his face while his wife seemed kind and responsible. “No worries at all. Now, about the girl that I was inquiring about over the phone…” the woman said before smiling politely.“Oh, yes. Please follow me this way. I will take you to her,” Miss Gwen quickly said before gesturing for the couple to follow her. She led them to the smaller building that had survived the fire before leading them inside. The building was small and very cramped compared to the number of children
Lust Contracts A New Life
A few days later, the couple that came to see me in the orphanage returned and I was taken back along with them. I didn’t have any belongings and I left the orphanage with pretty much all that I had on. While in the back seat of their car, I looked through the back window at the orphanage as the car was driving away. Somehow, I had a feeling that I would never ever return to this place. Generally, I was over the moon happy, I was able to leave without any regrets except for one: I didn’t get to say good bye to the older guy that saved me from the fire. Goodbye big brother…we probably won’t ever see each other again…When I thought that a single drop of tear rolled down my cheek and I secretly wiped it away so that the couple wouldn’t see me crying. Honestly, after that day I was too busy adapting and living my new life that the thought of that big brother never crossed my mind again for a very long while. He became part of the old life that I had to leave behind. The ride to my new
Lust Contracts Superficial Perfection
“Having a nice figure and a beautiful face sure is nice. I wished my eyes were as pretty as yours and my lashes as long…” one of my friends said before she sighed. “That’s right and your waist is so slim all the time no matter how much you eat. How do you manage to control your weight?” another girl asked curiously as they both stared at me from across the tea table. Having afternoon tea with the girls was part of how we spent our school time in the afternoon. It was to ensure that we knew how to properly socialize and practice our manners at the same time. By this time, I was so used to receiving these compliments on my looks that it no longer surprised me or made me feel happy about it. Despite how people tend to compliment me on my looks, I never once felt proud of these traits that I was born with. I didn’t put any effort in making sure that my eyes were round and wide or for my lashes to be long. I was simply born like this and coincidentally how I looked happened to match wit
Lust Contracts Holding on to the Past
“If you want a perfect husband, you have to start by being a perfect bride! Listen to me!” my mother started shouting. I knew that the reason why I was hanging on to this scar didn’t make any sense at all, but I just couldn’t bring myself to erase it. “I have a headache. I’m going to sleep now; I have a test tomorrow…” I mumbled before turning away. “You can’t avoid this forever! Elena!” my mother shouted after me. I ran up the stairs as quickly as I could and headed for the sanctuary of my own bedroom. Closing the door behind me and locking it firmly so that I could hide away from my mother. Her shouting seemed far away now. Running away was the option that I always chose so that I wouldn’t have to fight with her directly. She’ll get busy with other things, and she’ll forget about this scar on my back. After entering the bathroom, I started stripping in front of the mirror. Turning my back towards the mirror and glancing over my shoulder, I could see the thin patch of scar on my
Lust Contracts The Richer the Better
“He is a nice person,” I replied flatly. They were all nice. They were nice to me just like I had to be nice to them. Superficially nice. Just like I never showed my true self to them, I suspected that none of them ever showed their true self to me. I wasn’t sure how my parents expected me to consider marriage to any of these men when we both didn’t know anything about the other. Of course, I kept all these thoughts locked away in my own mind without ever voicing them. Getting married right away after graduating from high school wasn’t what I wanted. Although the other girls in my class viewed it as the highest form of achievement to get engaged right after graduation, I had other plans for myself. I had been thinking about this for a while now and after almost a year of thinking, I have finally found a way to convince my parents to send me to university. Unlike the popular majors that other girls were aiming for such as the arts or design, I wanted to study business. It was still
