TO LOVE OR TO NOT: THE BILLIONAIRE'S CONTRACTED HEIR CHAPTER 23, THE UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THEM
The atmosphere inside the hospital room tensed the moment Cassandra stepped through the door with Ethan.Her mother stood beside the hospital bed, a packed bag resting on top of it. Her arms were folded across her chest, her lips pressed into a thin line as her gaze moved slowly from Cassandra to the man standing beside her.“Hi, Mom.”Loretha's gaze rested briefly on Cassandra when she spoke. And then it shifted to Ethan as the young man cleared his throat and stepped forward. “Mrs Greene.” He gave a curt bow. “I am Ethan Gray. Your daughter’s fiancée.”A smug smile touched his lips. “My deepest apologies that we get to meet for the first time under these circumstances.”Loretha simply stared at him. Then she returned her gaze to Cassandra, who was still standing ever so stiffly by the door. “Why would you bring him here?”“Mom, I—”“Oh, she didn't exactly bring me here, ma'am.”Cassandra's head snapped toward Ethan as his voice cut through hers.“I insisted on coming. Didn't reall
TO LOVE OR TO NOT: THE BILLIONAIRE'S CONTRACTED HEIR CHAPTER 22, UNEXPECTED GESTURES AND FLUTTERS
The soft hum of the engine was the only sound inside the car.Outside, the city stretched beneath the bright early-evening sun, its golden rays reflecting off glass buildings and polished cars as pedestrians hurried along the sidewalks. The weather was unusually pleasant, the sky a clear shade of blue with only a few wisps of clouds scattered across it.Ethan kept his eyes on the road, his hands resting steadily on the steering wheel. However, every few seconds, his gaze would drift toward the passenger seat. To Cassandra.She was sitting with her face turned toward the window, her forehead almost touching the glass, her expression distant.Ethan didn't understand the strange sensation that had been gnawing at his chest since he'd picked her up from the university.Worry. It was an unfamiliar emotion. And he didn't particularly like it.He glanced at Cassandra again before clearing his throat.“So, umm… I was thinking we could go somewhere. Have lunch together?”“Sure.” Cassandra’s v

“Miss Greene?”Cassandra blinked. It took an entire minute before the voice of her professor finally registered.Looking up sharply, she couldn’t help but notice that the entire class had their gaze fixed on her. Just great!Cassandra’s cheeks flushed as she straightened in her seat, realizing that she had completely lost track of what was happening around her.At the front of the lecture hall, Professor Anderson stood beside the large whiteboard, a marker still between his fingers. The words Doctrine of Consideration were written across the board in neat black letters.“Were you with us?” the professor asked.Cassandra swallowed. “Yes, sir.”A few students snickered.Professor Anderson raised an eyebrow. “Then perhaps you can tell us what I just asked.”Cassandra’s mind raced. She hadn’t heard a single word. But thankfully, the question was written on the board. She glanced at it briefly before looking back at him.“Well, you asked whether consideration must always be adequate for a
TO LOVE OR TO NOT: THE BILLIONAIRE'S CONTRACTED HEIR CHAPTER 20, HIS PLAY?
The evening air was cool against Cassandra’s face as she sat alone on one of the benches outside the hospital. She had been sitting there for almost twenty minutes. Or maybe longer. She had lost track of time.Her arms were folded tightly across her chest, her eyes fixed on the passing cars beyond the hospital gates. People walked in and out of the building around her, nurses rushing between departments, visitors carrying bags of food, doctors speaking quietly among themselves.Yet Cassandra barely noticed any of them. All she could hear were her mother’s words.“…You’re following my footsteps.” Cassandra signed softly. Was she really?“You’re getting involved with a powerful man. You’re pregnant with his child. Why? Did his money and influence sway you? I could have sworn I raised you better than that!”But it wasn’t about the money… Tears stung Cassandra’s eyes and nostrils. She sniffed, rubbing hard on her nose with the back of her palm.“Well, damn he is good to you now. But Cassa
TO LOVE OR TO NOT: THE BILLIONAIRE'S CONTRACTED HEIR CHAPTER 19, FAMILY TIES AND INHERITED WOUNDS
“Ethan I…” Cassandra’s voice was barely above a whisper now, trailing again as she fixed her gaze again onto Ethan’s stormy blue eyes.Her stomach lurched unpleasantly, a sour taste forming in her mouth.She was no fool. Cassandra knew exactly how things looked right now. David Hudson was the biggest rival of the Gray Group. And now, he had just announced her as his daughter!The day Ethan Gray had first had his men bring her to his mansion, he had pointblankly accused her of getting pregnant for him on purpose… accused her of scheming. Hell, he still thought that way. And now, this happened. Ethan Gray must be so certain now she was scheming. But she was not.“Ethan I really didn’t…”His words cut through hers. “You don’t need to explain anything to me, Cassandra.”She blinked. “But I…”“It doesn’t matter.”Ethan’s tone wasn’t exactly cold. But it wasn’t warm either. With a blank expression, he placed the remote on the armrest of the sofa and straightened his jacket.“Our marriage is
TO LOVE OR TO NOT: THE BILLIONAIRE'S CONTRACTED HEIR CHAPTER 18, HIS CHESS MOVE
A few minutes later, Cassandra was gaping at the woman Ethan had just introduced to her downstairs.The woman looked to be in her early forties. She wore a neatly tailored cream blouse tucked into a pair of black trousers, her dark hair pulled back into a sleek bun. A warm smile rested on her lips as she extended a hand.“Hello, Miss Greene. My name is Rose Bennett. I’m a certified nutritionist, and I’ll be working with you throughout your pregnancy.”Cassandra stared at the offered hand. Then at Ethan. Then back at Rose.“A nutritionist?”Rose smiled politely. “Yes ma’am.”Cassandra’s brows rose slowly. She turned toward Ethan again. “Can I talk to you?”Before he could answer, Cassandra grabbed his hand and pulled him a few steps away from Rose.“A food nutritionist, really?” she kept her voice hushed. “Aren’t you being a little too much?”Ethan shook his head seriously. “No. I don’t think so.”Cassandra blinked in disbelief. “What…”“The doctor said you’re severely malnourished, rem

“What? Marry you? Are you insane?” Cassandra wasn't sure if she was more stunned or insulted.Ethan rolled his eyes, the gesture so casual it was infuriating. “Quit being dramatic. It was cute for the first five minutes; now it’s just exhausting. We both know you’d kill for a deal like this.”Cassan

Soft gasps. Shallow pants. Heavy, ragged breaths.It took a moment for Cassandra’s vision to stop spinning when she finally came to. Her eyelids felt like lead, but as they fluttered open, the sheer scale of her unfamiliar surroundings forced her wide awake.A sharp gasp escaped her lips. She was in

“Oh God!”Cassandra's hands trembled as she gaped at the double lines staring back at her from the display of the PT strip she was clutching. Her breathing hitched as flashes of that night—the blurred lights of the bar, the scent of expensive cologne, and the weight of a man she didn't even know—pla

Flash. Flash. Flash.The moment the black SUV pulled up the red carpet of the Vanguard Estate, the night exploded.Ethan led Cassandra out of the vehicle and they started towards the entrance. The paparazzi were all over the place. “Ethan! Who is she?”Cassandra squinted against the stretch of came
