The Billionaire’s Contracted Bride By The Pool
Kyle walked toward the door, like he was done,like this whole conversation was over. But just as his hand reached for the knob, he stopped. He stood still for a second, then turned and came back. I didn’t say anything. I just watched him.He sat back down on the bed, beside me. His shoulders dropped a little as if he’d been holding something heavy in.“I have nothing to do with Amy,” he said softly, his voice not defensive, not sharp, just honest. Or it sounded that way.I looked at him, unsure. My chest ached from everything that had happened. My head still throbbed slightly, but I could still feel emotions swirling stronger than any painkiller could dull.“I don’t know anything about the letter,” he went on. “It might be too hard to believe… but I didn’t take it.” His eyes searched mine. “I really didn’t.”I looked at him for a long moment. His face was cal
The Billionaire’s Contracted Bride Reading Between Lines
It took me a moment before Kyle’s voice drifted back into earshot. He was still reading, but now with more intensity less like he was reading to me and more like he was absorbed in the world inside the pages.Then he stopped abruptly and looked at me, eyes slightly narrowed in disbelief.“How the hell would he sell his dog?” he asked, incredulous, like I’d been following every word he’s been reading. Luckily, I had read the book before, and I knew exactly which part he was at.“Maybe because he’s too broke to even feed his dog?” I offered, my voice hesitant half answering, half questioning.Kyle’s brows furrowed. “So he sold the dog to someone else… so the dog would have a better life?” he repeated, almost like he was trying to convince himself of it.I watched him, how seriously he took it, how invested he was. It was oddly… endearing. But also fascinating. This was the same Kyle who used to shrug off everything that didn’t directly benefit him. Now here he was, caring about a fict
The Billionaire’s Contracted Bride Fragile Trust
I watched, my vision still slightly blurry, as Kyle leaned in close to DK and said something. I couldn’t hear what he said, but whatever it was, it made DK laugh. Not a real laugh, one of those cold, bitter chuckles that doesn’t reach the eyes.He brought his fingers to the side of his lips, wiped at the blood from where Kyle had punched him, and looked down at it with a kind of amused detachment.Then Kyle turned to me. His eyes softened just a little when they landed on me, but there was still so much tension in his face, like he was holding back more than he could express. He walked over to where Lucas stood by my side, still supporting me.Without a word, Kyle reached for me and to my surprise Lucas didn't fight it he stepped back, letting go of me gently.But as he did, he said in a voice edged with quiet frustration“How long do you think you’ll keep dragging her into your mess?”Ky
The Billionaire’s Contracted Bride Faded Memory
“What are you doing here, ma’am?” a voice snapped behind me.Startled, I nearly dropped the photo frame. My fingers trembled as I carefully returned it to its spot, heart racing. I turned slowly.It was the maid.Her eyes were sharp…., less like a servant, more like a gatekeeper. I forced a faint smile.“I—I lost my way,” I lied. A useless excuse. We both knew it.She didn’t say a word, just watched me.I walked out of the room, trying to keep my steps calm, measured, even though inside I was unraveling. I lost my way, I had said and maybe that wasn’t a lie after all.I made my way downstairs, found my bag, and left without another word.I couldn’t face Mrs. Prescott anymore. not like this. Not when my mind was spinning out of control.I stepped out into the daylight, but nothing felt clear.Why was I in that picture?Why couldn’
The Billionaire’s Contracted Bride The Old Picture
I sat on the bench in the park, the late afternoon sun casting soft shadows through the trees.Vivian came back holding two cold drinks. She handed one to me, but I shook my head. I wasn’t thirsty. My throat was tight for any drink .I knew I had to accept itAmy was gone.No matter how much she had done… no matter how deep the betrayal cut… she didn’t deserve this.Death? No. Never that.“It's actually surprising and shocking that Amy would take her own life,” Vivian said as she sat beside me.Of course it is. Because she didn’t. Someone made it look that way.But I couldn’t say that out loud, not yet. Not to her.Vivian turned slightly toward me. “And remember that day at the hospital… the day you……” she paused, hesitating, but I knew what she meant. The day I lost the baby.I nodded slowly, urging her to continue. I h
The Billionaire’s Contracted Bride The Letter
I looked at the TV one last time, Amy’s face still shining through that screen like she was trying to speak to me from somewhere far away.And then I grabbed my bag and rushed out of the restaurant. I didn’t wait. I couldn’t.I just wanted to breathe.When I stepped outside, I saw Kyle’s secretary standing at the corner like some statue. He glanced at me, but I ignored him. I didn’t care what he thought or what Kyle would say.I waved down the first cab I saw and got in.“Where to, ma’am?” the driver asked.I didn’t even think twice. “Hagh Morgue,” I said quietly.I had seen that name flash on the news, and something in me had known that was where I needed to be.The cab pulled away, and the city moved outside the window, fast and blurry. My mind was just like that, fast and blurry, filled with questions I didn’t know how to ask, filled with pain I di
