The Marriage Contract #13
**LIA** *KNOCK! KNOCK!* The sound of a soft but persistent knock echoed through my room, followed by Lena's voice gently calling my name. "Lena, don't come in!" I shouted, my voice muffled by the tears that soaked my pillow. I just needed to be alone with my thoughts, to process the whirlwind of emotions that had engulfed my life. However, Lena disregarded my plea and entered the room with a quiet determination. "Hey," she said softly, approaching cautiously as if stepping on eggshells. She was trying to be the supportive cousin she had always been. I couldn't contain my frustration. "I told you not to come in!" I yelled and threw my pillow in her direction. "Lia, I'm really sorry," Lena said, settling beside me. "I thought I was doing what's best for you. What would you do when Angel asks for her dad in the future?" "That's my problem, not yours!" I retorted, pushing her away emotionally. I wanted to be alone in my misery. "Listen, I'm only trying to look out for you," Lena sa

**LIA** "Wait, Lia, are you serious?" Lena inquired, her eyes wide with disbelief, while my mother regarded me curiously, concern etched across her face. I nodded, taking a deep breath. "Yes, I've given it a lot of thought. Angel deserves to know both her parents. Drex and I have discussed this, and we've come to an agreement. I'm doing this for my daughter." I moved closer to my mother, taking her hand and placing it on my lap while holding it firmly. Her expression was filled with worry. "Darling, don't worry. I'll support any decision you make," my mother reassured me, her touch tender as she held my face in her palm. She looked at me with love, then wrapped her arms around me, pulling me close. Lena, observing our exchange with a smile, decided to break the silence. "So when is the wedding?" she asked cheerfully. "Selena!" My mother scolded her, clearly thinking that she should be more sensitive to the gravity of the situation. I, however, responded, "Mum, it's fine. I'm real
The Marriage Contract #15
**LIA** When we arrived at the hotel, we approached the receptionist to explain that we had a reservation for the VIP honeymoon suite. Upon entering the hotel room, I couldn't help but marvel at the opulence. It was the VIP honeymoon suite, after all, and the size was breathtaking. The room was like my entire apartment condensed into one space, and I was immediately drawn to explore every corner. The room featured a spacious sitting area with a large TV mounted on the wall. Behind the couch, there was another room, separated by glass sliding doors. The bed was enormous, and I was further impressed when I ventured into the bathroom. It was so vast that you could practically sleep in it. As I excitedly explored every nook and cranny, I occasionally glanced at Drex. He was already lounging on the couch, engrossed in his phone. My mood soured slightly as I observed his relaxed demeanor. I couldn't help but wonder whom he was texting and why he appeared so content. A surge of frustratio
The Marriage Contract #16
**LIA** After a long and torturous night, the next morning brought a new determination. I decided to make the most of my day and head to the beach for some relaxation and fun. I took a long, hot shower, washing away the discomfort of the previous night. Then, I set my sights on preparing for a day at the beach. I selected a black bikini and tied a white scarf around my waist, completing the look with a white net top that offered a tantalizing glimpse of what was beneath. I quickly bundled my hair into a messy bun and was ready to embrace the day. As I gathered my beach essentials and stood by the door, there was a knock that interrupted my thoughts. "You." I glared at the figure on the other side of the door. My frown quickly faded when I realized Drex had arrived, shirtless, in his black jeans. I allowed him to enter as he brushed past me. "Why are you here? I thought you were off enjoying your honeymoon with your 'little miss perfect,'" I quipped, crossing my arms over my chest.
The Marriage Contract #17
**LIA** Having claimed my spot on the beach, I spread out my blanket, dropped my oversized bag filled with beach essentials, and removed the scarf around my waist and the net top. I let my hair cascade freely and packed away the extras. Sunscreen in hand, I lay on my back, sunglasses shielding my eyes. I began rubbing the lotion onto my arms when I heard a masculine voice break through my tranquility. "Hey, need help with that?" The voice belonged to a very handsome man. He had blond hair and hazel eyes, a combination that left me momentarily stunned. Why does he look so familiar? Without missing a beat, I raised my sunglasses and tucked them into my hair. This was too good an opportunity to pass up. "Very much yes!" I replied with a touch of excitement. He chuckled, and dimples formed on his face. My insides squealed with delight. He knelt beside me and arranged me to lie on my stomach, ready to apply the lotion for me. "Remember me?" he asked as he squeezed out a bit of lotion
The Marriage Contract #18
**LIA** Drex had suddenly appeared on the beach, holding Jesse by her waist. The situation was less than ideal, and I hoped to avoid this drama, especially not this early in the day. "It's none of your business," I replied firmly and stood up, and Jasper followed suit. Jesse seemed taken aback and infuriated simultaneously. "Just making sure you don't get kidnapped on my watch. You do know we have to return back home together, although I'd love not to take you back with me," Drex commented, a cocky smile on his face. "Well, I am Jasper," Jasper introduced himself by raising his hand for Drex to shake. However, Drex just shrugged it off, resulting in a bemused smile from Jasper. A heated staring contest began between the two men, and the tension was palpable. "Drex, for once, I'd like to be free from you for a whole day, please," I implored, hoping they would leave. But they remained rooted to the spot. "Come on, Jasper. Let's go somewhere without parasites," I suggested. "Baby,
The Marriage Contract #19
**LIA** We had the TV on, while eating and chilling with our pizza and beer, which was the best combo by the way. We argued a bit before agreeing on what to watch. Which was by the way Miraculous, who’d argue on that. After laughing a lot at the show, which was mostly done by me, I glanced towards him, he was so focused on the cartoon so much that I doubt he’d notice me staring. Why does he have to be a jerk and still look so good? “Hungry?” he asked taking a slip of his beer, then squeezing the can signifying he was done with it. Hungry? What does he mean? I’m not hungry I just ate. He then turn to face me. “Lost now aren’t we? He asked chuckling. Is he already drunk? I mean, it’s only two cans. How weak is he? “What? I am not. Good night.” I said then stood up, was about making my way to the bedroom when my hand was grabbed and I was pulled back, and before I knew it I had landed on his lap sideways, I had to hold his neck for support, so I used one of my hand to. A bit of my
The Marriage Contract #20
**LIA** Why do I feel so good right now? Why do I feel so warm? Did I leave the heater on? So many questions popping up at the good feels I was getting. Suddenly my eyes shot opened in realization. “We did the deed.” I whisper and then used my free hand to hush myself, apparently I was being cuddled by Drex so firm. Why am I feeling happy about this though? The silence was then interrupted by the ringing of Drex’s phone on the dressing table beside the side at his side. The movement of his body and the removal of his arms around me signified that he was awake, because I was backing him I wasn’t sure until I heard his voice. “Hello” his deep voice echoes. He sounded oddly calm, so I decided to turn around to see what’s up. Immediately he saw my face it was like realization just hit him in the balls, he just couldn’t scream because he was on the phone. “Face time? ...yeah…sure” it was like he was trying to compose himself, he cleared his throat and the puts his arm around my should
