Arthur's POV

The phone vibrated on the dashboard mount. Peterson. Video call. I pressed the green button without taking my eyes off the road.

"Arthur, what the fuck have you done?"

My friend's voice came out shrill, cutting through the silence of the car. I glanced at the screen. Peterson's face was red, sweaty, his eyes wide with rage.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb, dammit!" He ran his hand over his face, pacing back and forth in his office. Papers were flying behind him.

  • The Contract That Put Me in His Father's Bed   Chapter 92 [The Center of the Hall]

    Emily's POVI tried to pull away, but the hand on my waist tightened.It pulled me back hard, without warning, without hesitation. My shoulders hit his chest. My back pressed against his torso, warm, firm. I felt every muscle against me, every inch of his body pressed against mine.His breath was warm on my ear, his beard brushing against my sensitive skin."Why did you pull away from me when your body wanted the opposite?" The voice was in my ear. A whisper. A statement. "Your breathing... your skin..."His free hand slid up my arm, slowly, his fingers tracing a path of fire on my skin. It went up to my shoulder, touched my neck with light fingers. I felt every callus, every mark, every inch of skin. My body trembled against his."You..." I whispered, the personal pronoun coming out like a sigh. My voice was hoarse, failing. I could barely breathe.He turned me slowly. His eyes were fixed on mine. Even with the black mask hiding part of his face, I would recognize him anywhere. The f

  • The Contract That Put Me in His Father's Bed   Chapter 91 [The Masks]

    Emily's POVIt was Sebastian."Emily!" He widened his eyes, letting go of my arm. "Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!""Sebastian!" My voice came out loud, breathless. My hand went straight to my chest, feeling my racing heart. "You scared me!""Sorry, sorry." He raised his hands, an awkward smile on his face. "You were taking too long, I got worried. I came to check if you were okay.""I'm fine." I took a deep breath, trying to calm my heartbeat. "I'm fine."He looked at me for a moment. His face was worried, but there was something else there. Something in his eyes that I couldn't identify. As if he were analyzing every trace of my face."You're pale," he said, his voice lower. "What happened? Did you get some bad news?""No." I put my phone away quickly, shoving it into my bag like it was a dangerous object. "Nothing. I'm just tired."Sebastian tilted his head, as if he didn't fully believe me. But then the smile returned to his face, wide and animated."Well, I have a surprise for

  • The Contract That Put Me in His Father's Bed   Chapter 90 [The Gaze]

    Emily's POVI couldn't explain it. It was a feeling at the back of my neck, a chill down my spine. As if there were eyes on me, fixed, following every movement.I turned my head, looked around, but only saw unfamiliar faces, people talking, laughing, ignoring my presence.And still, the gaze was there.I took a deep breath. Tried to ignore it. I walked through the hall, greeting some people I recognized from the agency. I gave polite smiles. Answered questions about the pregnancy, about how I was doing, about work."Everything's fine," I said. "I'm fine, yes. Thank you for asking."But everything wasn't fine. And everyone knew it.That's when I saw him.Sebastian was in the middle of the hall, surrounded by some important people. He wore a dark blue suit, well-tailored, that accentuated his broad shoulders.His hair was combed back. His eyes shone under the hall's lights.He saw me before I could look away. His face lit up with a smile. He excused himself from the group, said goodbye

    Emily's POVTwo months.Two months since that day in Sebastian's office. Two months since I saw Marcus being led away by the police.Two months since I cried in Chloe's lap until I couldn't anymore.Life had gone on. I had gone on.I didn't know anything about Marcus. I didn't want to know. I completely disconnected myself from the Sterlings. I no longer answered Arthur's calls. I didn't reply to his messages. I didn't want to know about any of them.I just wanted to live.Try to live.My belly was already big. Five months, the doctor had said. Or maybe six, I had already lost count. I didn't want to think about it. I didn't want to keep counting the days. I just wanted to let it happen.Nathalie was still missing. No one knew where she was. I had tried calling a few times, at first, but her number was disconnected.Then I stopped trying. I didn't have the strength for anything else.Sebastian didn't fire me. On the contrary, he seemed to like me even more. Every day he showed up with

  • The Contract That Put Me in His Father's Bed   Chapter 88 [I'm Tired of Everything]

    Emily's POVMy chest tightened when I saw the scene in front of me.Sebastian was on the floor, his hand on his bruised face. He was trying to get up, but he seemed dizzy, disoriented.Chloe was beside him, her eyes wide.And then I saw Marcus. He was standing, a few steps away from them.A gun in his hand. His arm outstretched, the barrel pointed straight at Sebastian. His face was red with rage, his breathing heavy, his eyes fixed on his target.I felt my heart stop for a second. I couldn't breathe properly."He's not Jason!" I screamed.My voice came out louder than I expected. Cutting through the sound of Marcus's heavy breathing and Chloe's sobs.Marcus didn't lower the gun. He turned his head slowly to look at me. His eyes were wild. I had never seen him like that."Emily, what are you saying?" His voice came out hoarse, confused, as if I had spoken another language."Put that gun down, Marcus!" I screamed again. I stepped forward. My legs were trembling, but I didn't stop. "Put

    Marcus's POV"You son of a bitch!"The word still echoed through the office while Sebastian dragged himself on the floor, his hand pressed against his face.His eyes were wide, confused, full of fear. Good. Let him feel fear. Let him learn not to mess with what's mine.I stepped forward. My shadow covered him completely."Get up."He didn't move. Just lay there, looking at me, gasping, his chest rising and falling fast."I said get up!"I grabbed him by the collar again. Pulled him up. His body was limp, trembling. His legs could barely hold him."You..." he tried to speak, but his voice came out dragged, as if the words were stuck in his throat."Shut up." My voice came out low. "Don't say my name. You don't have that right.""I didn't do anything..." he whispered."You didn't?" I laughed, but there was no humor in it. "Still sticking to that story?""I swear I didn't...""Lying piece of shit!"My fist closed again. The punch hit him in the stomach. The air left his lungs in a jet, a

    Arthur's POV The silence inside the room was heavy. A silence that felt like it came right before everything exploded. Marcus remained on his knees beside the bed. His head didn't turn. I clenched my fists. Felt my nails digging into my skin. "Let her go, Marcus!" My voice came out low. But it

The mattress sank on one side, and I felt the tilt pulling my body toward him.I opened my eyes slowly. The ceiling light hurt. My mouth was dry. My head was heavy.Marc

    Arthur's POV "Marcus, I don't want to fight with you." My voice came out calm. Controlled. "Not now. Not here." "That doesn't answer my question." He crossed his arms. The gesture was so familiar it hurt. It was the same gesture I made when I was on the defensive. "What do you want?" "What was t
