THE CONTRACT OF MARRIAGE: TWO YEARS chapter 79
“Enjoy what little time you have left tonight, because the real hell is only just beginning.” The mysterious shadowy figure disappeared into the darkness of the night, leaving the grounds of the Lucas family estate silent once more. His footsteps gradually faded into the distance, swallowed by the stillness, while the night breeze swept through the tall trees lining the perimeter fence, rustling their leaves with a faint sound that seemed more like a sinister whisper. However, that false sense of tranquility did not last long. As it turned out, Lucas’s words that night became a horrifying reality the following morning. News of Chloe’s critical condition after Aria had brutally incapacitated her had reached the woman’s extended family. The story spread rapidly from one family member to another until the entire Chloe family residence was consumed by an atmosphere of barely restrained fury. Their anger erupted without warning. They wanted blood for blood, a life for a life. To Chl

“Never touch anything that belongs to me again, or the next bullet won’t merely tear through your leg. It will go straight through your heart,” Aria hissed with deliberate emphasis, her words creating a cold echo that struck the consciousness of everyone in the room. Lucas never expected Aria to actually keep her word in such a brutal and deadly manner. Seeing her cold and merciless actions this time, Lucas suddenly found himself afraid of making even the slightest mistake with his wife in the future. The man who had always been known for his arrogance and power suddenly struggled to swallow, his throat tightening at the stark realization that Aria would never treat any threat that left her lips as an empty warning. Slowly but surely, Lucas stepped closer and tremblingly stroked Aria’s flat stomach, trying to ease the tension in the air before softly asking her to come home with him that night. However, the sincere invitation, laced with guilt, was met with a negative reaction from

"Damn it! Who's there?!" one of Lucas's guards shouted, his voice reverberating against the walls of the room, still echoing with the remnants of the gunshot. Amid the thin, suffocating cloud of gunpowder smoke, a slender figure wrapped in a dark coat stepped out of the shadows of the corridor. The heels of her boots struck firmly against the concrete floor, creating a cold, deliberate rhythm that seemed to bring every heartbeat in the room to a halt. Her long hair hung loose, disheveled by the night wind, yet the eyes beneath her pale face gleamed with a sharpness as deadly as a blade, ready to tear into the chest of anyone who dared stand in her way. It was Aria. The woman everyone had always assumed was nothing more than a quiet wife with no courage, someone whose bravery existed only in her words, now stood tall with a short-barreled pistol still smoking in her right hand. Her hand did not tremble in the slightest. Her presence shattered the entire atmosphere of the room in an

# Betrayal Behind a Facade of Loyalty “I can’t believe you betrayed me.” Lucas’s cold voice rang out heavily, shattering the silence of the dimly lit room in the secluded retreat like a bolt of lightning amid a raging storm. Beneath the faint glow of the chandelier, a middle-aged woman with a deathly pale face jolted violently at the sound of the deep voice she had known for most of her life. Aunt Maya, a woman who had devoted decades of service to the family estate, stood rigidly beside Chloe. Her body trembled uncontrollably, while her hands clutched the thick envelope she had just received. Her usually warm and welcoming face had drained of all color. She recognized that voice, yet the look Lucas directed at her made her feel as though she were standing before a complete stranger. Lucas had never expected this. It had never once crossed his mind that Aunt Maya would be the first person to betray him so ruthlessly. For decades, she had been part of his family’s life. She knew L

“If anyone dares to hide her, make sure they follow her straight to hell, along with whatever secrets they’re carrying.” The absolute threat still reverberated through the empty apartment, leaving behind a bone-chilling atmosphere that pierced the hearts of the bodyguards standing frozen in place. Yet the fury burning through Lucas’s veins suddenly shifted in priority when Aria’s face flashed through his mind. Even as his breathing remained ragged and the knuckles he had used to shatter the marble wall continued to bleed, his protective instincts as an alpha male abruptly took control. Chloe’s escape was a grave insult and a devastating setback to his plan to uncover the mastermind behind the attacks. But the safety of his wife and their unborn child, both waiting for him back at his estate, was far more valuable than chasing an elusive shadow in the middle of the night. Lucas knew he could not afford to be careless and leave his primary residence vulnerable without strict security,

# Chapter 74: Shadows of Escape and the Wrath of the Ruler “Enjoy your happiness while it lasts, Aria... because I will never stop dragging you into hell until I get what I want. The hell I create for you is waiting just around the corner.” The venomous whisper still lingered in the empty air of the dimly lit luxury apartment, mingling with the sound of shattered crystal scattered across the cold marble floor. The atmosphere was suffocating, leaving an unsettling tremor of fear that seemed to cling to the very skin. Elsewhere, thousands of miles away from the torment consuming the long-haired woman, Lucas strode out of his study with a commanding presence that radiated absolute dominance. His mind was made up. The minor incident in the dining room that morning, combined with his overwhelming fear for his wife’s safety and the well-being of their unborn child, had convinced him that he could no longer afford to take even the slightest risk. He could not remain idle and wait for dang
