My Contract Marriage with the CEO Chapter 74: The First
The bedroom door closed softly.Archie captured Eleanor’s lips once more and pressed her body back against the wall.Eleanor closed her eyes, letting Archie take control.Their lips fused, their kiss growing more heated. Archie pulled Eleanor close without breaking the kiss, leading her toward the bed.On the large bed, Eleanor's body was gently laid down. Archie hovered over her, one hand braced beside her head, while the other unbuttoned the front of his shirt.The kiss lingered for a long time. Eleanor gently pushed Archie’s chest until their lips parted.“Archie.” Eleanor’s breath came in ragged gasps. She looked up at Archie, whose breathing was just as irregular. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Eleanor asked to make sure.Archie stared deep into Eleanor’s eyes, seeing the lingering hesitation in his wife’s gaze.“You don't want to?” Archie checked.Eleanor remained silent for a few seconds, looking into Archie’s eyes, which were already clouded with passion. “I just want to

Two days after Eleanor was discharged from the hospital, the kitchen of the Richter residence once again filled with the aroma of simmering broth and fried shallots.Eleanor stood in front of the stove with a plain apron tied around her waist, stirring the soup in a small pot. Her hair was loosely tied back. Her face was still slightly pale, but her eyes had regained their clear brightness.The doctor had given her permission for light activity, and Grace had firmly insisted, hands on her hips, that she was not to return to the office before the weekend.And Eleanor actually enjoyed being in the kitchen to pass the time during her forced leave.Eleanor tasted the broth; she had known someone was standing in the doorway all along, watching her, but she ignored it as she remained busy cooking."You don't need to keep babysitting me, Sir," Eleanor said without turning around, a smile already blooming on her face. "I won't cut myself again.""I'm not babysitting." Archie stepped inside, r

In the hallway on the third floor of the hospital, Margaret stood with a folder in hand, speaking in a low voice outside the closed room door."The Lindemann statement has been released, Sir. Paula is currently being interrogated. Mr. Sam is preparing a full report for the prosecutor's office."Archie stood leaning against the doorframe, his rumpled shirt unchanged, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep. Since the ambulance arrived, he hadn't stepped any further from this door except to grab a drink of water."Thank you, Ms. Margaret." He accepted the folder without opening it. "Let the law take its course for the rest. I don't want their names mentioned in front of this door ever again."Margaret nodded. There was nothing more to be said.Archie opened the door slowly, stepped inside, and closed it soundlessly.On the white bed, Eleanor was still fast asleep with steady breathing, color gradually returning to her face.Archie pulled a chair to the side of the bed, sat down, and took

Dawn had not fully broken when the telephone in the study of the Lindemann residence rang for the twentieth time.Wilhelm Lindemann sat behind his desk, still wearing the suit jacket from the previous night, which he hadn't bothered to remove. The phone in front of him kept lighting up, displaying names that changed rapidly: media editors, business partners, members of the board of commissioners. He answered not a single one. Beside him, the family lawyer read a draft document in a flat voice."A brief statement, sir. The family does not know of and does not support our daughter's actions. We respect the legal process. We are withdrawing from all cooperation with the Richter Company.""Add," Wilhelm said without turning, "that we regret this.""Sir, that word could be interpreted as an admission—""Add it."The lawyer nodded and made a note.At the doorway, Wilhelm's wife stood in her nightrobe, her fingers gripping the doorframe until her knuckles turned white. Her face was swollen w

Archie laid Eleanor onto the medical gurney. Yet, he refused to let go of Eleanor's hand, which was still freezing cold.“We’re going home, you’re safe now.” Archie continued to gaze at Eleanor with a look of panic and deep concern.The paramedics loaded Eleanor into the ambulance.Before climbing in himself, Archie turned to Margaret. “Handle the rest here, make sure Greta doesn't escape before the evidence of what caused Eleanor's fall is brought to light!” Archie ordered firmly.Margaret nodded. “I understand, Sir.”Archie got into the ambulance, accompanying Eleanor and refusing to leave her alone.The ambulance carried Eleanor down the mountain road with its siren wailing, while Archie sat beside her stretcher, his grip never loosening from that still-chilled hand.Grace followed in a second car with the driver.Back in the villa’s living room, the fireplace burned low. Greta sat on the sofa with a rigid posture, gripping the armrests tightly. Standing before her were two police

The mountain road was dark, foggy, and full of sharp turns. Archie's black sedan sped far above safe limits, its headlights sweeping across pine trunks that flashed past like shadows.Sam sat in the passenger seat with one hand gripping the grab handle and the other holding his phone. "The local police just arrived there, Sir. An ambulance from the nearest village has also been dispatched. Margaret has arrived with the security team as well."Archie did not answer. His eyes remained fixed on the road ahead, his jaw clenched so tightly that the muscles in his temples throbbed. Only one thought echoed in his mind: the broken toilet door, Eleanor huddled on the floor with her wet face. And this time, he wasn't there to break anything down."Sir," Sam said cautiously, "you need to calm down.""I am calm," Archie replied flatly. His voice was barely audible, and precisely for that reason, it sounded dangerous.After driving through the heavy tension for a while, they arrived at the Hazelwo
