Chapter 14: Who Sent You

XENOIS

Her eyes searched my face, and I could see her trying to read between the lines. Celeste was intelligent to know that there was something going on that I wasn't letting her know of, but she was cautious enough not to prod further

"I love you," I said suddenly, the words sounding both natural and surprising to me.

Her breath caught and her eyes widened and for a moment I saw that same mixture of hope and fear that had been in her eyes at the hospital.

"I love you too," she whispered, as if the moment might be broken if she said it too loud.

I kissed her then, slow and deep, trying to memorize the wash she tasted and the way she fell into my hands. When we broke apart, I rested my forehead against hers as we breathed heavily.

A part of me wanted to tell Romano fuck off and show Celeste just how much I love her by burying myself deep in her tight channel but I knew better than to rush it.

Celeste would run for the hills so I needed to be careful with wha

  • My Contracted Husband, The Heartless CEO has Amnesia?!   Chapter 66

    Chapter 66The evening had unfolded with a domestic rhythm that felt both foreign and completely natural to me. After the intensity of our warehouse encounter with Ramon, coming home to help the boys with homework felt like stepping into a different universe entirely—one where the biggest crisis was Troy struggling with long division and Lake needing help with his science project on the solar system.Celeste and I had worked together with an ease I couldn't remember experiencing before. When she helped Soren sound out difficult words in his reading assignment, I fetched his favorite pencil and adjusted his desk lamp without being asked. When I explained mathematical concepts to Troy, she appeared with his favorite snack and a glass of milk, timing it perfectly for when his concentration started to waver. We moved around each other in the kitchen and living room like dance partners who had been rehearsing for years."Dad, can you check my math problems?" Lake asked, bringing his worksh

  • My Contracted Husband, The Heartless CEO has Amnesia?!   Chapter 65

    Chapter 65 SOPHIARamon was quiet for a long moment, his fingers drumming against the desk as he considered my words. "What exactly are you offering?""The child," I said, placing my hand over my still-flat stomach. "After it's born, I no longer want to hold on to it, it's yours. You can raise it, use it however you see fit. In exchange, you help me eliminate the obstacles preventing Xenois from being with me.""You're talking about murdering a mother and three innocent children," Ramon said, though his tone suggested he was more interested in clarification than moral objection."I'm talking about removing the people who are keeping Xenois from me. " I corrected. "Celeste Kingston has had everything handed to her—the perfect marriage, the beautiful children, the wealthy lifestyle. She doesn't deserve any of it."Ramon stood up and walked around his desk, moving with the fluid grace that made him so dangerous. "And you think you do deserve it?""I think I'm willing to fight for it," I

  • My Contracted Husband, The Heartless CEO has Amnesia?!   Chapter 64

    Chapter 64: DesperationSOPHIAMy Life was a mess. This was not what I had envisioned when I promised my self that I was going to make sure Venous was mine once more. I had broken him in years that left him devoid of love or the willingness to commit to a new relationship, hence the contract that he made with Celeste, that I was mcky to pull it out from him years ago after drugging him, dunny, a foreign conference abroad. The same contract that was supposed to be void months ago, but fate had it and caused Xenous to have an accident. And then turned him to the biggest simp of all time. I initially thought that I would be able to use his amnesia to my advantage, say a couple of harmless lies and get him under my thumb, but it had backfired spectacularly. I stood outside Ramon's office building, my hands trembling as I smoothed down my dress for the third time. The humiliation of the past few weeks had worn me down to nothing—getting fired, having my pregnancy announcement backfire spe

    Chapter 63XENOIS"Everything we just did," she said, settling into the seat. "Letting me undress you, leaving marks on your neck, kissing in public, participating in illegal activities. We've never done anything like that before. I didn't know you could be so... spontaneous."I started the engine, processing her words. "Did you have fun? Despite how dangerous it was?"She was quiet for a moment, then smiled. "More fun than I've had in years. There was something thrilling about working together like that, being partners in crime literally.""Do you prefer this version of me?" I asked, the question coming out more vulnerable than I'd intended. "To the man I was before?""Yes," she said without hesitation. "This version is more attentive, more present, more willing to take risks for the people you care about. But Xenois..." She paused, her expression growing sad. "You know this amnesia isn't permanent, right? Eventually your memories will return, and you'll go back to being the man you

  • My Contracted Husband, The Heartless CEO has Amnesia?!   Chapter 62

    Chapter 62XENOISI could feel the tension in the room shifting as Ramon's confusion deepened. Celeste was still positioned on my lap, her body warm against mine, and I knew we needed to sell this performance completely if we were going to walk out of here alive."What exactly is this interruption about?" I demanded, letting irritation creep into my voice as I adjusted my arms around Celeste. "My wife and I came here for some privacy, and now we're being subjected to armed men barging into our room?"Celeste turned in my lap, facing Ramon with a pout that was so perfectly crafted it almost made me believe she really was just an annoyed socialite whose romantic evening had been disrupted."This is completely unacceptable," she said, her voice taking on the petulant tone of someone who'd never faced real hardship. "We specifically requested privacy, and now strange men with guns are interrupting what was turning into a very... exciting evening."She pressed herself closer to me, her fin

  • My Contracted Husband, The Heartless CEO has Amnesia?!   Chapter 61

    Chapter 61CELESTEThe silence after Rakeem's departure felt like the calm before a hurricane. I could feel the weight of Xenois's stare as I gathered the signed contracts from the table, my hands steady despite the chaos I knew was about to erupt. Twenty-five hundred people. Twenty-five hundred human beings who would now have a chance at freedom instead of a lifetime of slavery.It should have felt like victory, but the look on my husband's face told me I was about to pay a price I hadn't anticipated."What the hell is going on here?" Xenois's voice was rough with barely controlled fury.I straightened, meeting his eyes directly. Two years of keeping this secret, two years of operating in the shadows, and now it was all coming to light in the worst possible way. But I wouldn't apologize for saving lives, not even to him."I could ask you the same question," I said, my voice cooler than I felt. "How exactly did you find me here, Xenois? Have you been having me followed?"His jaw tight
