We fell into silence then, each lost in our own thoughts. The steady tick of the wall clock seemed unnaturally loud in the quiet room. I checked my phone, surprised to see a text from Alexander.

Alexander: Made it back to the office. Let me know when your father is out of surgery. I can have dinner delivered if you're staying late.

The thoughtfulness of the gesture made my chest tighten. I typed a quick response: "Will do. Thank you."

Just as I put my phone away, Nick's phone rang. He glanced at the screen and stood up.

"I need to take this. I'll be right back."

He stepped into the hallway, his voice a low murmur through the partially closed door. Mom closed her eyes, looking exhausted, while Ethan continued his endless shuffling of cards.

"Want to play War?" he asked me, breaking the silence.

I smiled, remembering how we used to play for hours as kids. "Sure, why not?"

We were halfway through our game when Nick returned, but he wasn't alone. Amelia Hayes walked in besi

  • The CEO's Contractual Wife   Chapter 213

    OliviaThe cathedral was breathtaking up close, every inch covered in intricate marble carvings and statues. Hundreds of spires jutted skyward, each topped with its own sculpture. The facade alone could have kept me occupied for hours. "It's impressive," Alexander admitted, tilting his head back to take in the full height. "Impressive? That's all you've got?" I elbowed him gently. "This took nearly six centuries to complete. Six centuries of artisans pouring their lives into creating something beautiful." "When you put it that way, yes, it's extraordinary." He wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "Want to go inside?" The interior was just as stunning as the exterior promised. Enormous columns stretched toward vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows cast colored light across the stone floor, and everywhere I looked revealed new details to admire. "Oh my god," I breathed, spinning slowly to take it all in. "This is incredible." Alexander watched me with that expression he got somet

    OliviaThe private jet's engines hummed as we descended through the clouds. Milan spread out beneath us, with all its terracotta roofs and medieval towers giving way to modern skyscrapers on the outskirts. "There," Alexander pointed out the window. "The Duomo. You can see the spires from here." I pressed my face closer to the glass, excitement bubbling up. "It's gorgeous even from up here." "Wait until you see it up close. The detail work is incredible." The landing was smooth, and within twenty minutes we were in another sleek black car, this time with an Italian driver named Marco who spoke rapid-fire English with a thick accent. "Benvenuti a Milano," Marco said enthusiastically. "First time?" "For me, yes," I replied. "He's been here a million times but never actually seen anything." Marco laughed, shooting Alexander a knowing look in the rearview mirror. "Ah, businessman. Always work, never play. This is no good." "My wife is determined to change that," Alexander said dryl

    OliviaI moaned as he increased the pressure, his other hand still working my breast. The dual stimulation had pleasure building fast, coiling tight in my core. "Look at you," Alexander said, his eyes fixed on my face. "So gorgeous when you're turned on. I love watching your expressions, seeing what makes you feel good." Three fingers slid inside me without warning, stretching and filling me. I cried out, my hips rocking against his hand. "That's it," he encouraged. "Fuck my fingers. Show me how much you want it." His thumb found my clit while his fingers pumped in and out, curling to hit that perfect spot inside me. I was gasping, clutching his shoulders for support as the pleasure built. "You're close," Alexander observed, his voice rough. "I can feel your pussy clenching around my fingers. You going to come for me?" "Yes," I panted. "Don't stop, please don't stop." "Never," he promised, his fingers moving faster. "Come for me, Liv. Let me feel it." His thumb pressed down ha

    Olivia"You're being awfully tender," I murmured, leaning into his touch as his fingers traced lazy patterns across my stomach. "I can be tender." His lips brushed my shoulder. "When the situation calls for it." "And this situation calls for it?" "After fucking you senseless? Yes, I'd say some aftercare is appropriate." I tilted my head back to look at him. "Aftercare. Listen to you using proper terminology." "I'm not a complete caveman." "Could've fooled me with how hard you just railed me." Alexander's hands stilled on my stomach. "Did I hurt you?" "No," I assured him quickly, covering his hands with mine. "God, no. That was incredible. I'm just giving you shit." "Good." His fingers resumed their gentle exploration, skimming up to cup my breasts. "Because I plan to do it again. Multiple times. We're in Paris, after all." "Paris, the city of love and aggressive sex." "Exactly." His thumbs brushed over my nipples, making them harden despite the warm water. "Though I'm think

    Olivia"Someone's happy to see me," I teased. "Someone's been thinking about you all day." "Oh, really? During your boring meetings?" "Especially during my boring meetings." His hands gripped my hips. "Kept imagining what I'd do to you once they were over." "And what did you imagine?" Instead of answering, Alexander's mouth found mine. The kiss started slowly, almost teasing. His lips moved against mine with deliberate patience, like we had all the time in the world. But patience had never been his strong suit, and within seconds the kiss deepened, his tongue sliding against mine in a way that made my toes curl. The warm bathwater lapped at our skin as I shifted in his lap, my hands finding purchase on his shoulders. His fingers dug into my hips, holding me steady as the kiss turned hungry. "Fuck, you taste good," he muttered against my mouth before nipping at my bottom lip. "It's the wine," I gasped when he released me. "No, it's you." His mouth moved to my neck, teeth scra

    OliviaWe spent an hour there, me examining every window while Alexander watched with amused patience. When we finally left, the afternoon sun was warm on our faces. "Hungry?" Alexander asked. "Starving. Where are we eating tonight?" "There's this tiny bistro near our hotel. Nothing fancy, just really good French food." "Sounds perfect." Dinner was exactly what he'd promised: simple, classic French cuisine in a cozy space filled with locals rather than tourists. We shared escargot, duck confit, and a bottle of wine that Alexander insisted would change my life. "Well?" he asked as I took my first sip. "It's good," I admitted. "But life-changing might be overselling it." "Give it time. The wine needs to breathe, like our marriage." I nearly choked on my next sip. "Did you just compare wine to our marriage?" "Both need time to develop properly. Both improve with age. Both can give you a headache if you're not careful." "You're ridiculous." "You keep saying that." "Because yo
