The Contract That Put Me in His Father's Bed Chapter 66 [You have no choice]
Emily's POV The pen was still in my hand. I stared at the paper without being able to think of anything, just feeling the cold sweat running down my back. I wanted to forget all of it and run away. Behind me, the photographers wouldn't stop taking pictures. The flashes exploded one after another, lighting up the small room every second. "You have no choice, love." Marcus's voice came low, close to my ear. He smiled at the cameras, but his teeth were clenched while his hand remained on my waist. The room was stuffy. I looked at the document again. Marcus's signature was there, in the space reserved for the groom. Marcus Alexander Sterling. The handwriting was slanted, large, taking up more space than it should. The pen had marked the paper so hard that the final stroke of the last letter had lightly torn the page. My name was missing. Emily Rose Parker. "Emily Rose Parker." The judge spoke loudly, snapping me out of my daze. He was an older man, with thick glasses and a br

Nathalie's POVClaire wouldn't shut up.Her finger pointed at Peterson trembled with rage, but her voice stayed low, sharp."You really don't know me, do you? Peterson Carter, you don't know me at all."Peterson didn't move. His arms crossed over his chest. His eyes fixed on her."But come on, tell me. What did Sterling do to you that makes you hate him so much?"The silence that followed was heavy, dense, as if the air had been sucked out of the room. Peterson didn't answer. His jaw locked."Don't talk about him here. Leave."Claire laughed. A low, humorless laugh."Don't threaten me, Peterson. You know very well that's not a good idea.""Enough. Get out of my room.""Find a way to make Marcus stay with me. Or I'll show everything to Sterling. Everything."Peterson was silent. His eyes gleamed in the dark.The door opened and closed with a dry snap. The sound echoed through the room like a gunshot.The silence that followed was deafening.Peterson didn't turn around. He stood with hi
The Contract That Put Me in His Father's Bed Chapter 65 [I need to talk to you]
Nathalie's POVThe taxi moved through the streets of New York as if the driver was also in a hurry to get somewhere. I couldn't see anything. Couldn't hear anything. I just felt the weight of guilt pressing on my chest like someone was sitting on top of me."We're almost there, ma'am," said the driver, a middle-aged man with a Middle Eastern accent, his eyes glancing at the rearview mirror every now and then."Thank you," I answered, my voice coming out weaker than I wanted.My phone vibrated in my lap. Sebastian. Again. The fourth call in twenty minutes.I answered."Nathalie, finally!" His voice was breathless, worried. "Where's Emily? I've tried calling her a million times. Her phone goes straight to voicemail. Sebastian is desperate, the whole studio is falling apart.""I don't know where she is, Sebastian," I lied. The lie tasted like bile in my mouth. "She disappeared…""Nathalie?""I don't know anything, Sebastian. Sorry. I have to go."I hung up.The phone fell on the seat nex
The Contract That Put Me in His Father's Bed Chapter 63 [He knows]
Emily's POV The judge raised his eyes from the paper and fixed them on me. The pen was in my hand. The white paper in front of me. The world waiting. "Emily Rose Parker," he said, his voice deep, his English accent thick, "do you take this man to be your lawful husband?" Silence settled in the room. I looked at Marcus. His smile was a well of darkness. His blue eyes shone with contained fury. I looked at the unknown people. The suited men. The dressed-up women. The rehearsed smiles. The photographers' cameras. I looked at the white dress that covered me. The lace scratched my skin. The pearls glowed under the lamplight. "No," I said. The room fell silent. A heavy, dense silence that tightened my chest. "I do not accept." Marcus blinked. Just once. The smile froze on his face. "Who are these people?" I continued, my voice gaining strength. Fear turned into anger. "What kind of theater is this? Did you hire actors to manipulate me?" The gray-suited man in the back exchanged
The Contract That Put Me in His Father's Bed Chapter 62 [The Dress]
Emily's POVThe hotel room felt smaller now.The walls were closing in around me, the floor seemed to have grown colder beneath my bare feet.Marcus stood by the window, his back to me, a dark silhouette against the Tokyo skyline. The morning sun painted everything gold, but inside I felt only gray."You were different in college," I said, my voice low. "You seemed like someone else. Someone who cared. Someone who listened.""And now?" He didn't turn around."Now I don't recognize you."He turned. His blue eyes were calm, but there was a coldness in them that chilled my spine."People change, Emily.""People don't turn into monsters overnight."He took a step toward me. I stepped back. The bed hit the back of my knees."Monster?" He repeated the word as if tasting it. "Is that how you see me?""What do you want me to see? A man who kidnapped me? Who brought me to the other side of the world against my will?""I brought you here so we could give our love a chance.""There's no love her
The Contract That Put Me in His Father's Bed Chapter 61 [No Escape]
Marcus's POV The hotel suite was silent except for the distant hum of Tokyo waking up outside the window. The sun was rising over the city, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink that should have been beautiful. I didn't notice. My eyes were on her. Emily stood by the window, her arms wrapped around her body, her back to me. She hadn't moved in minutes. Maybe hours. The blue dress she wore was wrinkled from the flight, her hair messy, her shoulders tense. "Emily," I called. She didn't turn. Didn't move. Didn't even acknowledge I had spoken. "Emily, please." Nothing. Just the rigid line of her spine, the way her fingers dug into her own arms. "What do you want, Marcus?" Her voice was flat. Cold. She still didn't turn around. "I want to talk." "We've talked." "We've yelled. We've accused. We've hurt each other." I took a step closer. She didn't move away, but her shoulders tightened. That was something. That was nothing. "We've never really talked." "Because there's
