The CEO'S Chubby Contract Wife 23: The face in the shadows
Third person POVThe courtroom was silent except for the hum of the projector.Then suddenly—A loud slap echoed in the video.The man’s hand shot forward, his palm cracking across Mila’s cheek with brutal force. Her head snapped to the side, a gasp slipping past her lips. Before she could react, the man grabbed her by the neck.Her hands flew up in panic, clutching at his fingers, scratching, trying to pry him off—but his grip was iron.She choked, mouth opening, eyes bulging as she fought for air. Her legs kicked against the floor weakly. The camera angle still hadn’t caught his face fully.A judge’s voice—present, steady, but confused—cut through the tension in the courtroom.“How can we know who the man is if the video doesn’t show his face?”Everyone leaned forward, breathless.And then…The camera shifted.The angle tilted slightly, zoomed in—and finally, the man’s face came into focus.Lyra shot to her feet, her voice bursting out.“Zane?!”Lucian gasped, standing as well. “Zan
The CEO'S Chubby Contract Wife 22: what the camera takes
Just as she was about to fully enter, she froze, her body stiffening mid-step. Her eyes locked on mine, wide with recognition—or was it disbelief?—etched deep into her face.Her stare made me uneasy. I couldn’t place her. Who was she? And why was she looking at me like that?The judge’s stern voice sliced through the tension in the room. “We have laws here, madam. The court will continue in the next three days. You can return then, and if the accuser still wants the case off, we’ll proceed accordingly. But at this stage, you don't have an option.”The woman didn’t respond. Her eyes were still fixed on me, unblinking, as if she were trying to read a secret etched onto my skin.She started approaching, slow and deliberate. My muscles tensed instinctively. My gaze locked on hers, unwilling to show fear but confused, completely thrown off. My heart pounded.Then, chaos.A voice shouted over the murmurs. A newscaster in a navy jacket with a fuzzy mic in hand lunged at me, camera lights fla

I stood when I was asked to.The judge—a woman with a stern face and silver braids wrapped tightly behind her head—looked straight at me.“You are the complainant?” she asked.I nodded quickly.“Speak clearly, young lady.”“Yes, my lord,” I said, my voice shaking a little.Then Lucian’s lawyer stood. Tall, polished, with a calm expression that irritated me more than his words.“We plead not guilty to all charges. These accusations are emotionally motivated and lack substantial evidence,” he said, folding his hands like he just solved a riddle.I clenched my fists. I wanted to slap him.I turned and looked at Lucian again.Still no guilt. No remorse. He sat like he was at a business meeting. Legs crossed, back straight, lips barely moving.Barrister Kuti remained composed.“My lord, the diary and device were recovered from the defendant’s personal property. We will submit time-stamped images and forensic confirmations at the next hearing.”The judge glanced up from her file.“Very well

"Lyra? Do you love me?" Zane asked, gently lifting my chin so I would look him in the eyes. His voice was low, but there was an urgency there I hadn’t heard before.My breath hitched. His gaze was intense, unblinking. I nodded slowly, barely audible. "Yes... I do, but—""But what?!" he snapped, his voice rose sharply and suddenly rising.I flinched. My heart dropped. Why was he shouting? He had never raised his voice at me before. The sound felt like a crack through the trust we’d built.Why was he acting like this? This wasn’t even his sister. He had no idea who Mila was, not the way I did. And yet, here he was, shouting like something sacred had been touched. Like her death was his to mourn more than mine.I stepped back, breaking the contact between us. "I'm sorry," I murmured, my voice trembling. "But Mila is my sister. My only sister. I have to know what happened to her. I need to. I may love you, but I also loved her."I turned around without another word."Lyra—Lyra!" he called

Lyra's POVI quickly turned around—and there he was.Lucian.My heart thudded, but I held my ground, narrowing my eyes."Nothing. Excuse me," I muttered, brushing past him with clenched fists. I didn’t want to look at him. I didn’t even want to breathe the same air. My whole body trembled with urgency—I needed to get home, I needed to check that phone… and the diary."Hey! Why so early?" came Zane's voice from behind me. I turned, startled."Nothing. I just… I have something urgent to attend to," I said. But my voice cracked, and I couldn’t hide the tremble in my hands.He looked at me closely, his brows furrowed. "Are you okay?" He took a cautious step forward.I nodded quickly. "I’m fine.""Okay then," he said slowly. "Let me take you back." He opened the car door and drove it closer. I got in without saying another word.The ride back to the hostel was quiet. Too quiet.I kept staring through the window, trying to calm my heartbeat. Zane kept glancing at me, one hand on the wheel,
The CEO'S Chubby Contract Wife 18: Sister mila
LYRA’S POVToday makes it eight months since I came back home. Sometimes I forget I was ever in that house of pain. Life isn’t perfect now, but it’s peaceful—and that’s a luxury I no longer take for granted.Zane and I have grown closer. He's become the person I didn’t know I needed. He enrolled me back into high school, paid all my fees, even arranged for me to live in the hostel so I wouldn’t feel suffocated. He handled everything like it was nothing, and I couldn't stop myself from falling.Somehow, we started dating. Slowly. Gently. With no pressure—just warmth. And yet, what surprises me more than Zane’s patience is Lucian.Lucian has been coming around. Begging. Pleading. Apologizing.For what? For dragging me by the neck in public? For violating my body and pride? For the humiliation, the pain, the trauma?He wants me back. He keeps saying he’s changed.How dare he think I’d return to his house after all that?Impossible.Not even in another life or in my dream.___________It
