My Contract Love Story Chapter 107
Monday (2 days left )"I knew this was a bad idea, Larry! Look at this disaster!” Ashleigh groaned, glaring at the deflated mess of dough that had refused to rise. It looked more like a sad pancake than bread.From the corner of her eye, she caught Susan stifling a laugh. Her frown deepened."What’s so funny, Susan?" she asked sharply.Susan straightened immediately, lips twitching as she tried to hold a neutral face. “Nothing, Madame. You’re doing… quite well so far.”Larry, who stood beside her, jumped in quickly. “Yes, it’s a great start for someone who’s never made bread before.”Ashleigh gave him a skeptical glance, then turned her gaze back to the dough. “Are you sure about that?”Chef Larry nodded confidently and motioned to one of the assistants to clean up the table. “Absolutely. You just need to learn how to balance the yeast ratio. It’s all about timing.”Ashleigh let out a sigh and began untying her apron. “I don’t think I can do this again. It’s too much for six a.m. in t

The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead in a steady, sterile rhythm in the cavernous study lounge at Alana’s off-campus penthouse. A sleek black table sat at the center of the room, cluttered with biochemistry textbooks, scattered notes, and half-built protein models. In front of the digital whiteboard stood a middle-aged man, gesturing as he explained complex metabolic pathways. Alana sat poised at the head of the table in a black turtleneck and perfectly tailored jeans, twirling a pen between her fingers. Her eyes skimmed the tangled diagram of the TCA cycle projected onto the screen.Her friends, however, were less involved in the study session.Diane lounged on Cameron’s lap, murmuring sweet nothings into his ear while Samantha barely looked up from her phone. The tutor tried to ignore the distractions, sticking to what he was paid to do, but their apathy was painfully difficult to miss.“Alright,” he said, raising his voice to grab their attention, “pop quiz time.”The screen chan

Hours later, Damien stood at a whiteboard in his off campus apartment, marker in hand, half solved questions scattered across the surface. He was trying to focus, but his eyes kept drifting to his phone. There was neither missed calls nor texts from her, and the silence gnawed at him more than he cared to admit.Although he tried not care, telling himself that everyone’s in this for themselves, it didn’t feel the same. Not without the sound of Ashleigh's pen scratching across her notebook or her relentless questions about formulas and theories.The door creaked open, and Arthur strolled in holding a smoothie in one hand and a half peeled banana in the other. He raised a brow, noting how Damien hadn’t even noticed his entrance.“Waiting for a call?” he questioned as he plopped onto the couch, watching him snap out and return to the board instantly.“No,” Damien replied, without turning and Arthur arched his brows slightly.Arthur arched an eyebrow. “Sure. That’s why you didn’t even not

“The battle stage is set and the stakes are high as Ashleigh Hartman fights to retain her number one spot on the Biochemistry competition team at the showcase next week,” Arthur read aloud from his phone, pacing the narrow study room with a dramatic flair. “The department has come to this decision after her reinstatement into the competition team was not well received by her colleagues, who claim a breach of trust still exists and remains unresolved since the infamous Robinetter bash…”“Enough,” Damien snapped, tugging Arthur down into a seat with a glare. “If you’re not going to stop reading trash blogs and help us out, then leave.”Arthur huffed, rolling his eyes. “Relax. Just trying to lighten the mood. Besides, I think you have helped yourself into a grave. You two have been trapped in here like caffeine-fueled zombies all week. Do you two even remember what the sun looks like?”Ashleigh didn’t respond. Her fingers drummed anxiously on the textbook in front of her, eyes red and t

“Where has the sun risen from, that you decided to accompany me today?” Alexander asked for the fifth time that morning, glancing sideways as they entered the golf course grounds.Adrian didn’t bother answering, adjusting the cuff of his polo shirt which Turner scrambled to pick up on short notice.He then gave Alexander a flat look. “I told you when I called. I’m here to see what your little gentlemen’s club is about and it’s prospects.”Alexander snorted. “You don’t give a damn about clubs. You hate gatherings. Hell, you ghosted me for two weeks after the last one. And golf?”He gave Adrian a pointed look. “You’d rather stab yourself in the foot.”Adrian’s fingers paused briefly on his glove before pulling it on. His gaze flickered to the tinted locker room window as his thoughts briefly returned to the call he took the night before. Without further comment, he secured the glove and turned.“You’ll know soon enough,” he said quietly. “Let’s just say today is... strategic.”Before Al

Ashleigh adjusted the strap of her bag as she walked into her department, trying to keep her shoulders straight and her head high despite her nerves. Stiil, the buzz that erupted as she entered the class told her the news had already spread farther than she expected. The article Arthur sent this morning was now the latest buzz on campus.HOT: Ashleigh Hartman Spotted on Campus Yesterday with Security Detail! Click Here to Read the Full Article…The headline still echoed in her mind, she was unable to think of anything else after she finished reading it. Her heart pounded harder with every scroll as photos of her arrival, a blurry video of Tristan and Jake flanking her near the hostel. They speculated about her “wealthy sponsor”, giving theories about why she suddenly had so much security when she'd gone unnoticed in the first few weeks on campus. One paragraph even hinted that she was in “protective custody,” though it didn’t say what reason.Although the article didn’t mention Ad

Ashleigh stepped through the hostel doors in a haze. Her body was here, but her mind was still trapped in the car that had sped off minutes earlier. The way Adrian kissed her… it felt like he wanted to take a piece of her soul with him. She had to use practically all of her willpower to claw her way out of his arms and make it here. As much as she loved the thrill of his touch, she hoped this wouldn’t become his new way of negotiating with her because she wasn’t sure how far he’d want her to go next time.“Miss!” the hostel manager called out, snapping her back to reality. She looked to see Miss Maisie and Mrs. Johnson eyeing her with a curt smile, their eyes showing mild concern.“I-I’m sorry, what did you say?” she asked.Miss Maisie waved her hand gently. “We were just asking if you feel better Miss Hartman, we were informed of your departure due to illness” “I’m better now, thank you.”“Good.” Mrs. Johnson said, taking a seat behind the computer. “ We’ll begin the check-in proc

As the sleek black sedan rolled to a slow stop in front of the administrative building, Ashleigh shifted uneasily in her seat. Her fingers clutched her bag a little tighter as she caught sight of students bustling past. She wasn’t sure which made her more uncomfortable: the imposing car she’d arrived in or the man beside her who had refused to leave her side since the other night.Adrian sat calm and collected, his expression unreadable as he reviewed documents with Mr. Turner seated in front. The two men discussed what seemed to be logistics campus security for her as if it were just another business transaction.Ashleigh gave him a sidelong glance, her jaw tightening. Although she had some reservations, everything about this moment still felt surreal to her. She wasn’t just coming to college like she stormed out the mansion two months ago, she was returning with Adrian by her side, and under his protection…. no matter how overwhelming it was at the moment. She turned her face towa

“You said what? The stalker has been sending you messages?”Ashleigh’s froze as Adrian nodded with a grim expression. He turned the laptop to her, showing a glowing map of with scattered with glowing red dots across various regions.“ While I was in Italy, I had my private investigation team has been trace the message activity from your phone.” he explained, his voice low. “They have also monitored my messages as well. The patterns are much clearer now.”A chill ran down Ashleigh’s spine as her eyes scanned the map. Her college dorm,the library, the restaurant where she met Arthur, even the mansion were all marked.He clicked another window, and a black screen appeared with several lines of encrypted codes came up. “The last message was traced to Italy, and it has been confirmed this evening that the stalker is connected to an old Italian mafia organization.”Ashleigh’s brows furrowed, her pulse quickening. “Mafia?” she repeated, almost dumbfounded.Adrian’s next words were slower, h
