Ivy's POV

The bedroom door burst open. Adrian stood there, disheveled from travel, suit jacket crumpled, tie askew, dark eyes wild with fury. The golden light from the window caught the stubble on his jaw and the tension etching deep lines across his forehead. He crossed the room in strides, towering over me as I rose unsteadily to my feet.

"What the hell have you done, Sarah?" His voice boomed, filling the space between us like thunder. "Mother? You attacked my mother? The doctor said it was

  • The Billionaire's Contract Bride   Chapter 57

    Sarah’s POV“I don’t want you going out alone.”The words came out calmly from Adrian's mouth.I blinked slowly, my fingers still resting on the edge of the dining table as I looked at Adrian. For a moment, I wasn’t sure if I heard him correctly.“You don’t… want me going out alone?” I repeated softly.He nodded once, his expression neutral, his gaze fixed on me like he had already thought this through long before saying it out loud.“Yes.”I shifted slightly in my seat, my chest tightening in a way I couldn’t immediately explain.“Why?” I asked.It came out softer than I intended.Before Adrian could respond, Eleanor spoke.“He’s right,” she spoke calmly.I turned to her fully.She met my eyes without hostility, without that familiar coldness I had grown used to. Instead, there was something else there now.“You shouldn’t be going out by yourself right now,” she continued.I frowned faintly. “Right now?” I asked. “What’s different now?”Adrian leaned back slightly in his chair, his p

  • The Billionaire's Contract Bride   Chapter 56

    Sarah’s POVAdrian didn’t say much that morning. He just walked into the room while I was still brushing my hair, leaned casually against the door, and watched me for a few seconds like he was thinking about something.“Get ready,” he said finally.I paused mid-motion and turned slightly. “For what?”He didn’t answer immediately. Just pushed himself off the door and stepped further inside.“We’re going out.”I blinked. “Out?”“Yes.”And somehow, that alone made my heart skip slightly.“Where?” I asked, lowering the brush slowly.“You’ll see,” he replied.There was something different about him.I nodded slowly. “Okay.”I didn’t know what to expect.Even as I changed, even as I stood in front of the mirror trying to decide what to wear, my mind kept circling the same thought.Why now?Adrian wasn’t the type to do things without reason.So this had to mean something.I chose something simple. Nothing too loud, that would make me feel out of place beside him.When I stepped out, he was a

  • The Billionaire's Contract Bride   Chapter 55

    Sarah’s POVAt first, everything felt calmer.After the situation with Mrs. Carla, Adrian seemed more attentive than usual. Not in a way that felt forced, but in a way that made me feel seen. Like he was making an effort to keep things steady between us.And strangely, Eleanor changed too. That was the part I noticed the most.The woman who had always spoken sharply, who never missed a chance to remind me of my place, suddenly… softened.“Sarah, have you eaten?”The first time she asked me that, I actually thought I heard wrong.I looked up from where I was sitting at the dining table, my expression caught somewhere between confusion and surprise.“Yes,” I answered slowly. “I have.”She nodded. “Good,” she said. “You shouldn’t skip meals.”I watched her for a moment longer as she adjusted something on the table before walking away.It felt strange, but not unpleasant.The next morning, it happened again. I came downstairs expecting the usual silence or tension, but instead, Eleanor wa

  • The Billionaire's Contract Bride   Chapter 54

    Sarah’s POVThe call came when I wasn’t expecting anything.I was sitting quietly, trying to settle my thoughts after everything that had happened earlier. The house had gone calm again, like nothing unusual had taken place. Adrian had stepped out, saying he needed to “handle something,” and I hadn’t questioned it.I was learning not to question too much.So when my phone rang, the sound felt louder than it should have.I glanced at the screen.Unknown number.I hesitated for a second before answering. “Hello?”There was a brief silence on the other end.Then…“Mrs. Sarah.”The voice was familiar.My back straightened immediately. “Mrs. Carla?” I said, surprised.“Yes,” she replied. “I didn’t expect you to pick up so quickly.”I frowned slightly. “I… didn’t know it was you.”Another pause.Then her tone changed slightly.“Of course you didn’t,” she said. “That makes this even more concerning.”Something in my chest tightened. “I don’t understand,” I said carefully.Her response came i

  • The Billionaire's Contract Bride   Chapter 53

    Sarah’s POVI wasn’t supposed to be downstairs.That was the first thought that came to me as I quietly stepped out of my room.Ever since the day Eleanor shouted at me for coming downstairs, I had always been scared. I had gone down only because I needed water.But as I reached the top of the stairs, I stopped.Low voices coming from downstairs. What are they always talking about? Eleanor and Adrian.At first, I thought it was just another discussion. Then I heard my name, and it made me pause completely.I stood still at the top of the stairs, gripping the railing lightly, trying not to make any noise as I listened.Adrian’s voice came first. “She just needs to verify again.”There was a short silence before Eleanor replied. “That didn’t work the first time.”My brows pulled together slightly.What didn’t work?I leaned forward just a little, careful not to step further.Adrian exhaled. “It was a mismatch. The system probably just didn’t read it properly.”System?I frowned.That s

    Sarah's POV He called my name softly from the doorway.“Sarah.”I looked up from where I was sitting on the bed, my phone loosely in my hand. Adrian stood there, one hand resting lightly against the doorframe.“Yes?” I answered.He stepped inside fully now, closing the door gently behind him.“I need something from you,” he said.My brows lifted slightly. “Something?”He nodded. “It’s for the house upgrade registration. Some documents need authorization verification.”I blinked.That sounded… official.“Now?” I asked.“Yes,” he replied without hesitation. “It won’t take long.”I nodded slowly, setting my phone aside. “Okay.”He moved closer to the small desk near the bed and placed a slim device on it. It looked like a small biometric scanner, the kind used for secure access systems.My eyes followed it curiously. “What is that?” I asked.“Fingerprint verification,” he said casually.I frowned slightly. “For what exactly?”He smiled faintly, like the question was expected. “Just conf

    Sarah's POV “You can’t do this to me,” I said, voice already rising as he closed the door. “You can’t lock me inside this house like a prisoner!”Adrian paused, loosening his cufflinks with deliberate calm. “Sarah, we’ve already discussed this. It’s temporary. What are you making it look like a bi

    Sarah's POV“Mrs. Sarah,” Mr. Thomas, the chief security, called, while holding the gate. “I’m afraid I can’t let you leave today.”I stopped, blinking in confusion. “What? Thomas, When did that one start? Open the gate, please. I need to get out of here.”He shook his head, avoiding my eyes. “Orde

    Sarah's POV“Sarah,” Eleanor’s voice cracked like a whip. “What have you done?”I froze, my hands tightening around the book I had been reading to distract myself. “What do you mean?”Eleanor stormed closer, her pearls swinging with each sharp step. “Carla Ruiz has withdrawn from Canvas Renewal ent

    Sarah's POVI had changed into my nightgown early and was already under the covers when Adrian finally entered. He moved with his usual quiet mood, unbuttoning his shirt without looking at me at first.I waited until he climbed into bed before speaking, my voice barely above a whisper. “Adrian,” I
