The Contracted Alliance; Accidental Marriage Chapter 70
Mr. and Mrs. StanfordThe gentle tinkle of old silverware resonated throughout the majestic Stanford manor as sunlight streamed through the historic stained glass. The residence, brimming with elegance and serene opulence, appeared to pause this morning. Allhad transformed, but still, all stayed the same.At the heart of it all, positioned at the breakfast table like monarchs in their realm, were Mr. and Mrs. Stanford.Eloise Stanford, majestic and timeless in her silk gown, quietly savored her tea. Her previously stern expression was gentled by something unusual—fondness. She rarely spoke, but when she did, her words sliced like glass or flowed like honey. And this morning, it was sweet syrup.Opposite her was Jonathan Stanford, tall and poised in his crisp shirt, observing her with subtle admiration. Time had etched deeper lines into his face, yet it hadn’t diminished the spark in his eyes—not when he gazed at her."I noticed how you gazed at her," Eloise finally remarked, softly pl

LEENAThe gentle glow of the chandelier enveloped the lofty suite in a warm golden hue, its shadows softly swaying over the satin linens. Leena stood next to the floor-to-ceiling window, her fingers gently touching the glass, her silk robe drapingfreely around her figure. The city thrummed down below, a mix of activity and noise, yet up here—everything was quiet.She listened to the door shut quietly behind her. His steps had become recognizable by now. Stable. Leisurely. Ownership. Ethan.“I figured you could still be sleeping,” he remarked, his voice deep, smooth yet rough like velvet, resonating in her chest. He was without a shirt, towel resting on one shoulder, his skin moist from the shower. He resembled a portrait created bya man crafted not only from strength but from an unmistakable, powerful presence."I was unable to sleep," Leena whispered, still not facing around. “Not with everything in my mind.”He moved nearer, positioning himself directly behind her, so near that she

LeenaThe quiet between them was heavy with words left unsaid.Moonlight flowed in through the balcony doors, creating silver shadows throughout the room. Leena positioned herself by the window in her silk robe, clutching her arms around her waist as if to keep herself intact. The aroma of night jasmine wafted in from the garden, yet even its sweetness couldn’t overshadow the pain in her heart.Ethan's footsteps were soft on the hardwood floors behind her.“Leena,” he whispered gently, his tone strained with uncertainty.She did not turn. Her image in the mirror appeared pale and quivering, with eyes surrounded by unshed tears. "You ought to have informed me," she murmured."I was unsure how," he said.His truthfulness was keenly penetrating in its straightforwardness."You were gone for two days, Ethan." No phone calls. No messages. "I believed you were gone."“I attempted to keep you safe.”“By leaving me?” Her voice heightened, heavy with the tempest of feelings that had accumulate

Leena’s POVThe gentle patter of rain on the windows was the sole noise in the serene penthouse suite. The city lights created a golden glow on the marble floor, and the fragrance of sandalwood hung in the air, bringing back memories of Ethan—of all that I had previously attempted to erase, and now discovered myself holding onto.He stood near the window, wearing a grey shirt with rolled-up sleeves, his eyes far away as if observing the rain narratingour history against the dark sky. I could still savor his kiss, sense the shake in my knees from his earlier touch. The universe may have plotted to separate us, yet in this instant, nothing else was important.I stood up from the plush armchair and walked to him without shoes. My fingers glided over his forearm before I encircled them around his hand. He didn’t glance at me right away. He no longer hurried—he remained patient. For my approval. For my reality. And perhaps, just perhaps, for the barriers I constructed to ultimately collaps

Leena’s POVThe fire softly crackled in the background. Outside, the storm created silver streams along the windows, but Leena hardlynoticed it now. Her world had contracted to the heat of Ethan’s touch and the gaze in his eyes as though he perceived only her.He moved nearer.“I recall both,” Ethan whispered. “What I recall best is you laughing uncontrollably in that vineyard, causing you to dropthe wine bottle and pin the blame on me.”She chuckled once more, genuinely laughed, the noise unrestrained. "You're correct." And you accepted the responsibility. "You consistently faced the consequences for me."His face changed. “Not every time.” I ought to have taken more. I ought to have defended you when your father insistedon this marriage. "I ought to have fought more intensely."She extended her hand and softly touched his jaw. “We both erred, Ethan. However, we are present now. I wish to ceasemerely enduring this marriage. "I wish to experience it."His breath halted, as if her word

The rain had recently ceased, enveloping the city in a moist silence. Drops trickled down the window of Ethan’s penthouse like sluggish tears, mirroring the light from streetlamps and the distant buzz of late-night traffic. Within, the quietness shared by Ethan and Leena was far from hollow—it pulsed with something fragile, something that was on the verge of spilling over.Leena was by the window, her delicate fingers gliding over the foggy glass. Her white satin robe was loosely fastened at the waist, exposing the curve of her collarbone and the delicate hollow at her throat. The dim light illuminated her face perfectly, making her appear as a statue too holy to be handled.Ethan observed her from the other side of the room, sitting at the couch's edge. His elbows rested on his knees, a whiskey glass still in his hands. Yet his eyes were fixed on her, as if she were the sole anchor tying him to this reality."Aren't you going to say something?" Leena inquired, her tone gentle yet tin
