AIDEN'S POV

One reason I really liked Aurora was because she had very good manners. She stood up, gave a friendly smile, and held out her hand to my enemy, even though she didn’t have to.

“Aurora King. Nice to meet you.”

“Herold Landon, and this is my wife, Morgana. I think you’ve already met my sons, Tinder and Tree.”

“They made quite an entrance.” Aurora laughed and gently brushed Tinder’s wet hair out of his face.

Don’t touch his kid.

“I’m bored. Can you play with me, princess?” Tinder pulled on my wife’s dress, still wet from the champagne he made her spill.

I wasn’t jealous of a five-year-old. I really wasn’t. Even if the way my wife looked at him made me annoyed.

“This place is boring, huh?”. She then winked at him like they shared a secret. “ So, let’s go find something fun and exciting to do.”

“No, thank you. We still need to say hi to some people.” Morgana pulled her kids closer. She was having a hard time keeping them still. She looked plain, especially next to my

  • The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage    Chapter 113

    AIDEN'S POV They walked away from me many times in my life, I almost said. Mother’s eyes were filled with unshed tears, and she tried not to cry. Father’s face stayed serious. They started to leave the office but mother stopped at the door and held my face, looking up at me. “Please forgive me,” she whispered so only I could hear. “I’m so sorry for everything and you are absolutely right. You deserve better than how we lived, Aiden.” I kissed her cheek. “I forgive you.” “Really?” I nodded. “Now leave.” Then it was my father’s turn. His eyes looked both a little annoyed and a little happy. “My son.” He nodded. “You keep surprising me. Your brother is wild but easy to understand. That’s why I sent the Sterling girl to him. Your sister is kind, so I don’t worry about her but you.” He took a deep breath, closing his eyes. “You were my hurt child, which made you more dangerous because we both knew you could survive anything. You think I don’t know,” he whispered, leaning close, cl

  • The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage    Chapter 112: Doing The Right Thing

    AURORA'S POV Murmurs and gasps filled the media room at Royal Pipelines. Journalists and reporters yelled questions about Green Living, Herold Landon, and the possible fight with Greenpeace, who might take over the lawsuit Herold had started. My heart raced so fast I thought I might pass out. Aiden raised his hand calmly, stopping the flood of questions. “As I said, this will be short, and I won’t be answering any questions. In addition to halting all oil-rig work, from this afternoon, I also own the Arctic areas nearby that have shown potential for oil. This means King Royal Pipelines now controls all the oil reserves and drilling rights in the Arctic. Forever. “I’ll look into cleaner options to grow Royal Pipelines' business and I’m still committed to providing jobs for tens of thousands of Americans. Actually, I want to tell our investors that I’ve already secured something much more profitable than the Arctic and much less harmful.” The smile he gave the camera was one of v

  • The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage    Chapter 111: Are You Sure?

    AURORA'S POV She made me think of a popular actress, from one teenage series. “I mean, I’m not complaining. I get my money but the Kings aren’t a bad family to marry into, child.” “I’m sure.” I signed the last page and pushed it toward her. “Can you send it to him, please?” She shook her head. “Sorry. Your husband has to get it in person. A sheriff must give it to him, and then you’ll get proof that it was done.” There were a lot of people who would love to see Aiden get divorce papers from the police but I didn’t want to hurt or embarrass him. “Is that really needed?” Just this morning, Aiden sent me another message using a cloud app. Aiden: Talked to your aunt (if you tell anyone I spoke to a cloud, I’ll deny it). She said I should take you on a honeymoon. I bought the tickets. He didn’t give up. But he gave me space. He never came to my house or pushed into my life like before. “Yes,” the lawyer said, nodding like one of those bobblehead dolls. “If you’re not sure, may

  • 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
