The Billionaire's Unwanted Contract Wife Chapter 10 — Clara’s Last Letter
Elena knew, before she opened the envelope, that something inside it would ruin her.Some truths had weight. You could feel them before they touched you. This one sat in Vivienne’s hand, thin and cream-coloured, the black wax seal cracked like it had been waiting years to break.Damian had gone very still.That frightened her more than if he had shouted.All night, he had been impossible to read. Cold at the altar. Controlled in the ballroom. Dangerous in the hallway. But now, standing in the rain with his wet shirt clinging to him and his face drained of colour, he looked less like a man and more like a boy watching a locked door open.“Don’t read it,” he said.His voice was low.Not a command this time.A warning.Elena looked at him. “Why?”He didn’t answer.Vivienne gave a small, bitter smile. “Because Clara’s truth is the one thing this family never survived.”The rain fell harder, striking the stone steps, flattening the hem of Elena’s wedding dress against her legs. Somewhere b
The Billionaire's Unwanted Contract Wife Chapter 9 — The Photograph
Elena could not stop looking at her father’s face.That was the cruelest part of it. Not the forged signature. Not the hospital forms soaked soft at the edges from the rain. Not even the message written on the back of the photograph like a threat slipped under a door.Tell your wife to behave, Damian.It was her father’s face.He was asleep in the picture, turned slightly towards the window, one hand resting above the blanket. Small. Grey. Tired in a way he never allowed himself to be when she visited. Her father always smiled for her. Always squeezed her fingers and told her not to worry, even when his voice was thin and the machines beside him told the truth his mouth would not.Someone had stood beside his bed and taken this.Someone had watched him while he slept.Elena’s fingers curled so tightly around the photograph that the corner bent.“Who took it?” she asked.The rain battered the stone steps, turning the driveway into a black river. Damian stood in front of her with water
The Billionaire's Unwanted Contract Wife Chapter 8 — The File in the Rain
Rain blew in through the open door and struck Elena full in the face.For one stupid second, she was grateful for it. The cold gave her something simple to feel. Something that wasn’t humiliation. Something that wasn’t Damian’s hand at her waist, or his grandfather’s voice turning her womb into a family investment.Then she saw Vivienne standing at the bottom of the steps.Silver dress soaked dark at the hem. Blonde hair loosened by the rain. One arm wrapped around herself, the other clutching a black file against her chest like it was the only thing keeping her upright.Elena froze.Behind her, Damian stopped too.The whole world seemed to narrow to the rain, the porch light, and the file in Vivienne’s hand.“What is that?” Elena asked.Vivienne looked at Damian first.Not with smugness this time. Not with the polished cruelty she had worn all evening like perfume. Her face looked stripped bare by the rain, younger somehow, and bitterly tired.“The reason you should have kept running
The Billionaire's Unwanted Contract Wife Chapter 7 — Run
Elena did not remember letting go of Damian.One moment she was in his arms, trapped beneath the chandelier light while the ballroom cheered for the child she had never agreed to have. The next, her hand was slipping from his shoulder, her wedding dress brushing cold against her legs as she stepped back from him.The applause kept going.That was what made it worse.People were smiling. Laughing softly. Raising champagne glasses as if Damian’s grandfather had said something charming, something sweet, something a bride should blush over.An heir.Elena felt the word crawl over her skin.Damian’s hand caught hers before she could move farther.“Elena,” he said, low enough that no one else would hear.She looked at him.His face was calm, because of course it was. Damian Blackwood could probably stand in the middle of a fire and look mildly inconvenienced. But his eyes were different. Darker. Tighter. Fixed on her like he knew she was one breath away from breaking.Across the room, Vivie
The Billionaire's Unwanted Contract Wife Chapter 6 — The Dance Everyone Watched
Elena walked back into the ballroom with Damian’s hand resting against the curve of her spine, and every face turned towards them.It was strange, how quiet a room could become without ever truly falling silent. The music still played. Glasses still touched lips. Silk still whispered as women leaned towards one another, hungry for gossip. But beneath all of it, Elena felt the shift.The bride had returned.The ring was back on her finger.And her husband looked as though he had just won something.She hated him for that.Damian moved beside her like the room had been built for him. Black suit, loosened tie, dark eyes, one hand pressed lightly to her back as if he was guiding her, not holding her in place. To anyone watching, it would have looked intimate. Protective. A wealthy man unable to stop touching his new wife.Elena knew better.She leaned closer, smiling for the guests. “Take your hand off me.”His mouth barely moved. “Then stop looking like you’re about to run.”“I am about
The Billionaire's Unwanted Contract Wife Chapter 5 — On His Knees
Vivienne’s words did not leave the hallway when she did.They stayed there, pressed into the walls, sliding under Elena’s skin until even the silk of her wedding dress felt too tight.The child has to be conceived before the contract ends.Elena stood very still, because if she moved too quickly, she might do something humiliating. Cry. Scream. Tear the dress from her body and walk barefoot out of the Blackwood mansion in front of every rich, smiling stranger who had toasted her like she was the luckiest woman alive.Damian watched the door Vivienne had disappeared through, his face half-shadowed, his mouth set in a hard line. He looked angry. Not embarrassed. Not guilty enough. Angry, as if the night had betrayed him instead of her.Elena almost laughed.“You should go after her,” she said. Her voice sounded strange to her own ears. Too calm. Too cold. “She seems to know more about my marriage than I do.”Damian turned. “Vivienne likes to hurt people.”“And you don’t?”That landed.F
