The Contract Wife The Bracelet and the lie between them
BellaThe Bracelet sat on the desk between us like a confession neither of us was brave enough to finish. The doctor checked me up and recommended that I avoid stress at all costs. I literally fainted. I backed out without any warning. What was Lucas doing? The things he did were already enough. Later that evening, Alex finally summoned Lucas to the mansion. They spoke so casually, almost like they already knew themselves. “He's coming and I'm going to set things straight," he added after the call ended. “What's that going to do? As much as you don't want to believe what I'm telling you, I wonder what you're going to do when Lucas finally tells you the truth." I understood. Alex picked it up the way a man might lift something that could still burn. His fingers closed around the thin metal with a care I had never seen from him. It was not with documents, not with glasses, not even with me. He turned it over once, twice, watching the light catch the small engraved edge. The roo
The Contract Wife No Rules, No Game!
BellaI wanted to be so lackadaisable about what was going on, but my baby kicked. I wanted to give him a hard slap on his face for being so nonchalant all along. I wanted to push him away and warn him subtly to never treat me the way he always did. But the shadow never stopped coming closer—The one moment I was always looking out for was coming to an abrupt end. I didn't know what to do about it. “Sir! Mr. Blackwood! I'm so sorry to interrupt, but there's a man at the entrance of the gate. He demands to see you urgently," the security man panted. It was obvious he was running, big when he got up here and saw us, he gave us a bit of time. "Why have you decided to come now?” Alex rudely retorted. It almost felt like he was enjoying the moment as well. He acted off like, you have always had me in your mansion. Why are you deliberate on acting differently tonight?Because I saved his reputation?I moved away and stared at the security man as he walked out. Either way, I never sto
The Contract Wife The Choice She Didn't Contract For
Bella This marriage was a business transaction. I didn't want to feel anything or plan to walk out of this chapter like it was something I badly wanted The four corners of the room had three different souls who knew exactly what they were doing. Alex, Valerie and myself carried the weight of the news in the air. It was so difficult to breathe because regardless of the fact that it concerned them, it was myself and Ethan in that photo. It wasn't any of them. We were the ones bearing the cross heavily. Silence sang out loud, so loud that I could hear my heart pound so deeply in my chest. My breaths went deeper as I tried to inhale, and the fake attention I was getting from Valerie—Nothing made sense. Was it all planned?“Are we just going to remain quiet?" Alex broke the silence. “What do you even mean? I have been waiting for Bella to say something…" Valerie cut in. Truly, she didn't change. Her opinion wasn't needed and it would have been better if she didn't say a word. I w
The Contract Wife When Enemies Share a Table
Bella The worst betrayals in my life had always worn a familiar face. I should have been better at recognizing them by now.I got from my bed feeling a bit musty and moody, little did I know that there was a bomb right by my side. My phone kept beeping over and over. My heart raced as I overheard a loud noise on the door. It sounded like the person had been there for hours. I left my phone first and went on for who could be at the door. It felt like I had made the wrong decision, but there was no other way to clear off the air of fear.“Who took these pictures? What's all of this? How dare you want to ruin every single thing that I have toiled to build?” The rage I got from my dearest contract husband left me standing still in my night robes, big eye bags and a face of disgust for something I had no idea about. “Can you at least have a proper communication with me? You are shouting, you are raging and I'm not getting anything from you," I replied out of disgust. "You know it's
The Contract Wife The Man Who Wasn't Invited
Bella He appeared at the edge of the charity luncheon like an afterthought. The type someone must have planned quietly and very carefully. I had learned that by then nothing in Alex Blackwood’s mansion was an accident. Nothing was an accident. Everything was quietly planned and looked at. After all the chaos, I was here properly dressed in the most luxurious gowns and jewelry from his brand and going solo at a women's in business luncheon. He made me a Blackwood Foundation representative. It was awkward that I wasn't here with him. He would have buried his eyes on me. He would have wanted to watch my every move. Tonight was totally…totally different. I was as free as a bird. No one was going to control where I was going and what I had to do. I could freely engage with anyone without feeling any sort of remorse. I wouldn't have to feel indebted at any point. It was such a glorious feeling, with no perfect description. Everyone sat on the Champaign table. I lingered with my thou
The Contract Wife No More Rehearsals
BellaThere was no yelling because the quieter he got, the more everything shook.He called me into the study the next morning with nothing more than my name spoken once from the doorway. No raised voice. No explanation. Just the single word and the expectation that I would follow. I did. The room was already stripped of pretense. The curtains were half-drawn, desk cleared except for a single photograph lying face-up in the center. The day I walked through those glass doors alone.He said nothing. He simply stood on the other side of the desk and waited.I understood the shape of the silence. The choice to speak was being offered to me, but the choice about whether I spoke had already been made by circumstance. The photograph had done that work. My hands found the edge of the desk and held on.“I’m pregnant.”The words left my mouth without the apology I had rehearsed in the dark. I did not soften them. I did not look away.“I kept it from you because of the contract. The clause that
The Contract Wife The Billionaire's Wife
Bella My heart flipped like a million coins that were tossed in the air as I walked toward the door. I was overthinking it, but I was ready to take the risk of going to the door. Could it be Valerie? I mean, I tried to make her consider going back to her cheating ex. It was something worth gettin
The Contract Wife Odd Prime
Bella“Aren’t you ashamed? You don’t even care about the fact that I’m her best friend!” I wailed angrily. Deep down, all I need was a better route to escape my problems. The offer was indeed golden, but why did it have to come from him? Why did he have to be the one to ask for such a delusional f
The Contract Wife Golden Ashes
Bella.My throat was sore, and my chest ached badly because I cried all night. I got up to get ready for another chance in my life before Valerie called again. “I'm ready,” she uttered. It's been a while, but I never thought I would keep such a thing away from my best friend.Considering what she
The Contract Wife Silver Lining
Bella“You are going to be my event planner!” She exclaimed, and I felt my heart fall into my stomach. She pointed her hands to my face, and I was more bombed by the news of being her event planner than the diamond ring on her finger.She smiled gracefully as she stood to watch my reaction, but I w
