The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 83
Sarah's POVThe legal meeting with Anna had ended hours ago, yet it still lingered in my mind like an unfinished conversation. No matter how many times I replayed her words, I couldn't decide whether she was a woman seeking justice or simply someone who refused to let go of the past.The rain that had fallen earlier had stopped, leaving the gardens outside glistening beneath the moonlight. I stood by the bedroom window with a cup of untouched tea in my hands, staring into the darkness.Sleep felt impossible, and Adrian hadn't come upstairs yet. I glanced at the clock. It was almost midnight. He was probably still in his study.That thought alone made my heart ache.Ever since the company leak, every day seemed to drain a little more life from him. He still smiled whenever he looked at me. He still asked whether I'd eaten, whether I'd slept well, whether I needed anything.But behind those small acts of kindness, I could see the exhaustion growing heavier.Setting my cup down, I quietl

Sarah's POVNo one moved.Anna sat with perfect composure, her legs crossed elegantly, her expression calm enough to make me uneasy. Gone was the angry woman who had stormed into our lives before. Today, she looked confident, almost certain of herself.Beside her sat a middle-aged man dressed in a tailored suit. His briefcase rested neatly on the coffee table, and his hands were folded calmly over it. Unlike Anna, he showed no emotion at all.Adrian stepped in front of me almost instinctively. "What is this?" he asked, his voice controlled.Anna looked at him with a faint smile. "I told you already. I'm not here to argue. I'm here because there are matters that should have been settled a long time ago."Eleanor folded her arms. "If you've come to cause another scene, you've chosen the wrong place."Anna didn't even look at her. "I'm not interested in creating a scene." She nodded toward the lawyer. "My lawyer will explain."The man stood. "Good evening. My name is Michael Carter.bI re
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 81
Sarah's POVThe first thing I noticed when I stepped into Moretti Enterprises that morning was the silence.Not the ordinary kind of silence that came before a busy workday, but the heavy, uneasy kind that settled over a room when everyone was waiting for something bad to happen.Employees who usually greeted one another with warm smiles now spoke in hushed voices. Small groups stood together near the elevators, whispering before quickly looking away whenever someone walked past.I had never seen the building like this. The atmosphere itself seemed to carry tension.As Adrian and I stepped out of the elevator onto the executive floor, conversations stopped almost instantly. Several executives straightened their posture while assistants hurried back to their desks.Adrian remained calm.He looked like the confident leader everyone expected him to be, but I had spent enough time beside him to recognize the subtle signs. His shoulders were slightly tighter than usual. His jaw remained cl
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 80
Sarah's POVThe mansion felt strangely empty that afternoon.Ever since Adrian and I had returned from the lakeside, a quiet peace had settled over me. It wasn't that my questions had disappeared. They hadn't. They were still there, tucked away in the corners of my mind, waiting to be answered. But for the first time in days, they weren't shouting at me.I found myself replaying the memory of his handwritten letter."I only hope you'll keep believing that my heart has always been on your side."I had read those words more times than I cared to admit.Part of me wanted to frame the letter.Another part of me kept hearing the anonymous message."The kindest lies are the hardest to see."I sighed and carefully folded the letter before placing it back inside my bedside drawer.I didn't want to choose between those two voices. One belonged to the man I loved. The other belonged to someone I had never met.Yet somehow, both had found a place in my thoughts.The peaceful silence of the after
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 79
Sarah's POVI spent most of the drive home staring out the window, watching the city disappear behind us one street at a time. The meeting at the law firm hadn't given me the answers I wanted. If anything, it had left me with even more questions. Every time I spoke, I couldn't shake the feeling that Mr. Benjamin had been choosing his words carefully. Maybe I was overthinking it. Maybe the stress of the past few weeks had made me suspicious of everything. I wanted to believe that. I truly did.Beside me, Adrian rested one arm on the center console while the other remained on the steering wheel. Every now and then, he glanced in my direction before returning his attention to the road."You've been awfully quiet," he said gently.I forced a smile. "I'm just tired.""You've had a lot on your mind.""I have."He nodded understandingly. "I was hoping today would give you some peace.""So was I."Neither of us spoke after that. Soft music filled the silence between us, and somehow, it wasn'
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 78
Sarah's POVThe conversation from the previous evening lingered in my mind long after Adrian and I had gone to bed. Although we had talked honestly, I couldn't shake the feeling that too many questions were still unanswered. I wasn't looking for another argument. I didn't want to accuse him of anything without proof. More than anything, I wanted clarity.If the call from the law firm had truly been a misunderstanding, then I wanted to hear it from the people who had called me. I wanted to look them in the eye and ask every question that had been keeping me awake.The next morning, I found Adrian in the dining room finishing his coffee while scrolling through emails on his tablet. He looked up the moment I entered, smiling warmly as though the tension between us had never existed."Good morning," he said."Morning."He stood and pulled out the chair beside him for me. "I had the chef prepare your favorite breakfast.""Thank you."For a few minutes, neither of us spoke. The silence wasn

Sarah's POVKael slid my black coffee across the table, his fingers brushing mine for a fraction longer than necessary.“You look like someone who hasn't slept for days,” he said.I wrapped my hands around the warm mug and managed a weak smile. “Is it that obvious?”The truth sat heavy without us.
