The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage Chapter 43: Breaking The Rules
AURORA'S POV My husband did a great job staying away from me the whole first day at the ranch. He skipped all our meals, didn’t join the group walk on the trail, and spent most of his time with the horses. Was I sad about it? Yeah. But I wasn’t going to let it mess up my weekend. I hadn’t traveled much outside of Boston in all my years, so I was going to enjoy this time with my friends. For once since marrying Aiden, I wasn’t broke. I didn’t feel scared walking down the street anymore. My life had gotten better even if it still felt lonely without Aiden really being in it. The last day of the trip, Annabelle said she wanted all the girls to go horseback riding. “But you don’t even know how to ride,” Ariella pointed out, always being the one to think logically. Annabelle just shrugged and popped a cherry in her mouth. “So what? You can show me how. I’ve had some riding experience before, just not the kind without a saddle,” she joked with a wink. “Always play it safe.” “Great.

AURORA'S POV Daniel stood tall, calm as usual. “So dramatic, Knight.” “So over confident, Sterling.” After a lot of arguing, we started walking on the trail. I felt nervous and excited, even though Henry was riding close to me on Jay and kept leaning over to pat Hamilton, giving me instructions with his words and by sight. Behind us, Annabelle was on Washington, Daniel on Madison, Ariella on Adams, and Devon on Jefferson. Devon and Annabelle seemed to get over their coldness. They were joking and getting along like old friends, while Ariella tried talking to Daniel but kept getting ignored. Thirty minutes up the trail to the mountains, I heard a horse running fast behind us. Henry turned his head and sighed then he pointed his finger at his head like a gun and joked like he was shooting himself with a silly "poof!" sound. “Please don’t tell me you didn’t tell your husband you’re riding.” “Ok. I didn’t tell my husband I was riding.” Then I stared straight ahead, trying to ignor

AURORA'S POV “You’re the worst husband any woman could ask for.”Okay, maybe that wasn’t fully true. Thomas still held the crown for worst husband this year, but I wanted to hurt Aiden the way he kept hurting me.“Are we just going to have sex once a month and hope I get pregnant? How is this whole thing supposed to work? Tell me now, because it’s clear you didn’t think your brilliant plan through!”My voice echoed through the trees, loud enough to startle Hamilton beneath me. From the nearby path, I heard soft voices.“…my sister!”“…she can handle herself.”“If he hurts her, I swear…”“She’ll hurt him back. You said it yourself, Annabelle. She’s not a little girl anymore.”Our friends weren’t sure if they should get involved. Now everyone knew how messed up our marriage was. Whatever hope I had that this could turn into something real just disappeared.“You’re acting like a spoiled kid,” Aiden said calmly.“And You’re acting like a coward.” I was shaking with anger.Hamilton grew r

AURORA'S POV I was crying loudly, and there was nothing he could do to make me stop. So he didn’t try. He just held me, letting me cry while keeping his arms around me like he was holding me together. “I don’t even know what I did wrong. Ariella said Hamilton is your best horse for beginners.” He saw I was too shaken to ride back, so he sat down on the grass, keeping me on his lap. My arms stayed wrapped around his shoulders. Franklin stood near us, watching quietly while chewing grass. “You didn’t do anything wrong. Hamilton’s had a rough few years. His back legs got swollen and he wasn’t ridden much. When winter came, he couldn’t handle it. I knew I had to retrain him in the spring. He wasn’t ready yet. When I saw you on him without a helmet…” Aiden closed his eyes and took a shaky breath. “I’m going to tear Henry apart and throw him to the polar bears he keeps trying to protect.” “Henry doesn’t like oil drilling in the Arctic either?” I asked with a hiccup. “Don’t ev

AURORA'S POV Ariella rolled her eyes and sat on the bed next to us. “Don’t worry, Annabelle is too busy thinking about how to get Devon Whitehall into her bed to care about your husband.” We group-hugged, me squeezed in the middle. I looked at my sister and raised my eyebrows. “Oh, really? I don’t think you need to worry. The guy was all over you like glue.” “He’s such a smooth talker,” Annabelle sighed, lying down on my pillow. “What about you and Daniel?” I asked Ariella. “Any luck?” “If it’s not happening this year, it’s not going to happen at all,” Ariella said with a sad smile. I rubbed her arm. “I’m sorry.” Dinner before we left was really good. Sandy cooked bacon potato soup, fried chicken, and cornbread all by herself and for dessert, she made pie. “Anyone else want to complain about how I invited the girls over?” Henry asked, raising his eyebrows behind his coffee cup. He had three servings of cornbread and ate enough food to last a week. "This is so delicious. Ho

AURORA'S POV Aiden was stacking his chips slowly, not even looking at her. I didn’t even know how to play poker, so both of them were being silly. “I swear to God, Aiden” “Leave it alone.” My husband looked up from his chips. “Her ex boyfriend once lost everything she owned in a poker game. Think she wants to remember that, genius?” Nobody said anything after that. He picked up the cards Henry gave him and shook his head. “Yeah. That’s what I thought.” “If I were her, I’d still play, just to annoy you,” my sister Annabelle said. The fire in her tone was gone. Everyone else at the table was playing except Ariella and me. “That’s the difference. You’re not her. That’s why she’s married to a billionaire, and you run a club with dancers,” Aiden said flatly, his sharp eyes focused on his cards. “Madame Mayhem is classy. Burlesque is not the same as stripping, jerk.” Annabelle blew a raspberry at him. “I like burlesque,” Devon groaned and shifted in his seat. “You’d lik

AURORA'S POV Thirty minutes later, everyone was focused on the game. Sandy, the most competitive woman, kept wiping her forehead every time she drew a card. Annabelle didn’t join the conversation, keeping her focus on the game. My husband sat in his chair, looking bored and relaxed, occasionally saying something about the stock market, which Henry and Devon talked about for a long time. “So, you want a divorce?” Aiden’s deep voice made me feel it in my body. He picked up the conversation we had earlier when I asked him to let me go if he was going to keep ignoring me. “If I’m just going to spend my life chasing you, begging you to sleep with me, then yes, I want a divorce. You should’ve never married me if you don’t find me attractive.” “I do find you attractive but the problem is I find you too attractive.” He said then frowned at the card he drew, acting like it was just business. “I’m confused,” I said even though I was anything but. I just wanted him to say something nice. B

AURORA'S POV Aiden picked up his new cards just as I reached my peak. I grabbed his thick wrist under the table, guiding his hand to where I needed it most and began riding his hand in a wave like motion. My climax hit deep. All my muscles got tight, I stopped breathing, and my mouth opened and I orgasmed as if a strong earthquake ran through my whole body “Are you sure you're okay, Aurora? You look like you're in pain,” Ariella asked gently while my eyes were still shut. I blinked, feeling dazed and pleased. “Just another cramp. Sorry.” I Knew my cheeks were red due to my blushing. Aiden threw a card into the pile, then picked another, looking calm and uninterested. He slowly moved his hand away from between my legs, pulling my panties back into place. He wiped my wetness on my thigh and fixed my dress to hide the evidence. “I think I need to walk a bit. Stretch my legs.” I stood up quickly. “Anyone want something from the kitchen?” “Cognac,” Aiden said, still focused on his

The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage Chapter 110: I'm through With You
AURORA'S POV“This came in the mail for you,” Annabelle said, tossing a thick envelope onto the small kitchen table. She stretched her arms and walked toward the shower.It was seven in the morning. I was already clean, dressed, and ready for work. I hadn’t slept last night. Or the night before.Ever since I left Aiden, I could hardly do anything but I knew I had to let him go for him and for my sanity “Don’t forget, we said we’d visit Sandy at five. Let me know if you want me to pick you up after work.” Annabelle went into the bathroom after working all night. I had left the Tesla at the apartment Aiden gave me.I picked up the envelope and frowned. I turned it over a few times, then opened it. Inside was my soul selling contract. It was signed, stamped, and made official.My heart beat fast. I opened the contract with shaking hands. A small note fell out. I saw Aiden’s bold, strong handwriting.“Aurora, my soul is yours. No rules or strings attached. Tell me what you need to keep i
The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage Chapter 109: I'm Sorry
AIDEN'S POV Please don’t let it be Grinder or Nature Valley. The smile on his face was so big it looked like it might break. “Tanya” I drove to Herold Landon’s house as soon as I kissed my new niece, Tanya, hello. She was a little pink ball with a head full of red hair, just like her mom, and blue eyes, just like her dad. The loud crying, she probably got from Michael Phelps. The kid could scream so loud, it felt like it would blow the roof off. All in all, Tanya was one of the cutest babies I had ever seen and a great addition to the family. I really appreciated how Sandy didn’t call me out for being a terrible person for what I did to her best friend. She took my congratulations with a smile that wasn’t very warm, even though it was clear I was the reason her husband had come back to her hospital room all beaten up with two black eyes. A few hours later, I saw Herold, in dirty sweatpants and messy hair, walking from his front door to a truck with a cardboard box in his hand.
The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage Chapter 108: Congratulations
AIDEN'S POV He ignored me and knelt down to pick up more manure. A childish idea of revenge popped into my head. I crouched down to grab as much manure as I could. “She never loved your fake personality, idiot.” Hunter swung his arm back like he was throwing a baseball, hitting me in the chest. I threw my manure ball at his face, hitting his neck and chin. Now we were both in deep trouble. Literally. “Stalin had a better personality than you, moron. She was always stupidly and I’ll add, unreasonably in love with you!” He threw another ball at me. I threw one back at him. “She owed a lot of money,” I shouted. “I paid it. That’s why she married me.” “I know!” Henry laughed loudly, leaving the manure and jumping on me. He pushed me to the ground, grabbing my blazer’s collar as he pinned me down. “I know, because after the night Aurora agreed to your offer in the snowstorm, I went to her door. I knew I had to fix things. Not for her, or for you, but for my wife. I didn’t w
The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage Chapter 107: Brother Bonding Time
AIDEN'S POV I let go of the empty vodka bottle, watching it roll to Henry's stall. That asshole almost cost me a wife. What a jerk. The car stopped, the engine turned off, and the person stepped out, the sound of boots on leaves really annoying me. “Aiden? Are you there?” Henry’s deep voice called. When did my brother start acting all serious? “No,” I growled, knowing he was coming in anyway. He did, stopping at the door with his hands on his hips. “Sandy had the baby. I have a daughter.” I thought I’d feel relief that it wasn’t a son, someone to take over Royal Pipelines, but I just felt nothing. Normal people would be happy for their brother, but I wasn’t normal. “Congrats,” I said with a bored tone. “Are they both okay?” “Yeah.” “Good. I set up a trust for your daughter. Three thousand dollars each month until college.” “That’s not why I’m here but thanks for the gift” Then he stepped inside and shut the door behind him. “Daniel found out Herold put Thomas Reynolds on t
The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage Chapter 106: Time Out
AIDEN'S POV Aurora raised an eyebrow, looking at me with eyes so intense, if I had a heart, it would have broken for her. She clearly wanted me to care. “And you, what would you have done if Herold did something to me?” she asked softly. A cold shiver ran through me as I remembered the torture, burns , beatings and being locked in a dark church for hours, only with my demons to keep me company. Coming back to him, asking him for more. To pay for my father’s sins. To mourn our friendship. To numb my feelings and just like that, I remembered who I was. Who Herold Landon had made me. Who my father, my whole family wanted me to be. A sad smile twisted my face. I leaned down, my lips near my wife’s ear, my hot breath in her pale hair. “And I wish he’d finished what he started, Aurora, so I could finally marry someone better than you. You were a mistake. A stupid, careless mistake. I can’t wait for the divorce.” I felt, but didn’t see, her step back and that’s when I realized I
The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage Chapter 105: Finally Admitting The Truth
AIDEN'S POV She walked quickly toward me. “I kicked him out the night he came. You would’ve known that if you had answered any of my calls. Or if you had let me see you when I came to your house.” Your house. Of course, it was mine. Why would it be ours? I had taken her from the plain apartment I put her in, moved her into a guest room, and thought she would…what? Feel anything for the place? “Do you want a prize for staying loyal?. " She stopped right in front of me and her smell filled the room, making it hard to think. I wanted to grab her, shake her, push her out, kiss her, sleep with her, yell at her. All those things showed feelings and no control. “Daniel told you, didn’t he?” She tilted her head, watching me. She meant Herold Landon’s laptop. She must have seen the videos. “He works for me.” “So does the rest of the city.” “You too. So stop digging into my business before I cut you off.” “We both know I’m not here for the money. I want to talk about what I f
The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage Chapter 104: Confronting My Husband
AURORA'S POV The third time I ran to the bathroom to throw up, I gave up. I shut my laptop and hid it under my bed, like the videos could still hurt me. I couldn’t watch my husband back when he was just a teenager being hurt, beaten, stuttering, crying, laughing, losing control and getting it back anymore. I wanted to hurt Herold Landon with my own hands and I knew, deep down, that I really could do it if I ever got the chance. Herold’s face wasn’t in the videos. But his voice was. You could hear why he did what he did. At six thirty in the morning, I got up and went to the shower. My eyes were swollen from crying all night. I knew two things for sure: One, I was going to make sure Landon paid for what he did, even if it was the last thing I ever did. Two, Aiden didn’t know how to feel anything after all he’d been through. But even someone who doesn’t feel love still deserves love. He still deserved peace, a place to belong, and a real home. From now on, I was going to give my
The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage Chapter 103: Beating All Odds
AIDEN'S POV After weeks of not seeing or hearing from Herold at Evon, I finally saw him at the main chapel. I felt both happy and scared. I waved at him from across the chapel. There were lots of students between us, and we all wore the same uniform. Herold saw me and looked away. A sharp pain hit my chest. That scared me. I couldn’t feel anything. Feelings would cause more nerve attacks, and nerve attacks would make Father kick me out. I did like baby Henry, but I didn’t want him to take the oldest son’s spot as heir to King Royal Pipelines and Father, Mother, and Henry were the only family I had left now. Herold probably hated me. After Sunday Mass, I walked across the lawn with my hands behind my back, looking at the grass and frowning. I didn’t care much that I had Tourette’s. It was annoying, yes but after reading a few books and medical papers about it, I had made a decision. I would beat it before I finished school and went to college. And when I make a decision, I always
The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage Chapter 102: A Solution
AIDEN'S POV "Well,I guess it's because I have something called Tourette's syndrome." I leaned back in the chair, looking at all the white around me. It felt calm, and that made me feel better. There was a long silence from the other side of the window. "How long have you known?" "About a week." I heard pages turning on a clipboard from the other side. I smiled sadly. Usually, it's the patient who doesn’t know. "How can that be? It says here your tic attack happened two days ago," another voice said. It was a middle aged woman's voice. Both doctors had accents. One sounded Italian, and the other probably Swiss from the French side. "Yes," I said slowly, giving them time to write. "But I felt the attack coming in the days before, so I looked it up." "So you knew it was going to happen?" the Swiss doctor asked, surprised. "The attack." I nodded. She gasped. "Poor thing," she said. It wasn’t very doctor-like. "Well that's a new one. I’ve never been called that before,"
