The Seduction Contract chapter 39
The world seemed to stop moving the moment the bullet hit him. Freya screamed, a sound of pure terror that tore through the quiet of the hall. She didn't even see Kelvin rush forward and fire two final shots into the attacker's head, making sure the man stayed down forever. All she could see was Darlington’s body jerking forward. "Darlington!" she shrieked, falling to her knees beside him. "Darlington, look at me! Please!" Her hands were shaking so hard she could barely touch him. She was terrified that he was dead, but then she saw the blood soaking through his sleeve. It wasn't his chest—it was his arm. The bullet had torn through his forearm as he pushed her out of the way. Without thinking, Freya reached down and grabbed the hem of her expensive gown. With a sharp tug, she tore a long strip of the fabric away. She wrapped the cloth tightly around the bleeding wound on his hand, her breath coming in gasps. She pulled the knot as hard as she could to stop the blood. "Darlington!

Fine," Darlington said. His voice was thick with a desperation he had never felt before. He held his hands out, showing he wasn't reaching for his weapon. "You win. You’ll get the files. You can have anything you want—money, territory, the documents—just let the girl go. She isn't part of this war. She’s innocent." The man let out a loud, mocking laugh that echoed through the ruined hall. "Wow. I really like this," he sneered, pressing the barrel of the gun harder against Freya’s temple. "So, the legendary, tough-as-nails CEO has a soft spot for this little girl? That’s interesting. I wonder what your face would look like if I just decided to pull this trigger anyway? Would you cry, Darlington?" "This isn't a game!" Darlington roared, taking a half-step forward before the man growled at him to stay back. "She has nothing to do with my business. I’m the one you’ve been fighting for years. I’m the one you want to kill. Take me instead." "Oh, but you’re wrong. You aren't the one I wan

"What files are you talking about?" Darlington asked. His voice was steady, but his eyes were scanning the room, looking for every exit, every piece of cover, and every weapon. The leader of the masked gang laughed, a dry, raspy sound behind his mask. "Oh, that’s right. Typical Darlington—always playing smart, always pretending he doesn't know. But you know exactly what I’m talking about. Don’t make this harder than it has to be, Mr. Knight. Give us the files, and we’ll walk out of here. No more blood needs to be spilled tonight." "You want the files?" Darlington said, his voice dropping an octave. "Fine. Here. Take them." In one swift motion, Darlington grabbed a heavy, thick book from the mahogany table and threw it with all his strength at the leader’s face. The man instinctively reached out to catch it, and that split second was all Darlington needed. He grabbed Freya’s arm and pulled her behind him, sprinting toward the back of the hall. The leader caught the book and ripped

The air in the car turned freezing the moment the guard spoke. Darlington didn't panic; instead, he became deathly still. It was like his soul had left his body and been replaced by a cold, calculating machine. "Are the rest of the men still intact?" Darlington asked. His voice was a low, dangerous rumble that made the guard shiver. "Yes, sir," the guard replied, wiping sweat from his forehead. "But only five of our elite guards are in the meeting hall right now. The members of the inner circle are starting to panic. They’re scared, sir. The enemies have become much more serious and harsh. They didn't just scout the area—they came to kill." Darlington didn't hesitate. He stepped out of the car, his movements sharp and fast. He leaned back into the window to look at Freya. "Stay here," he ordered. "The glass is bulletproof. Lock the doors from the inside and do not open them for anyone but me or Kelvin. You’ll be safe here." Before Freya could even argue, he slammed the door and wa

Darlington’s expression changed instantly. The small bit of warmth that had been in the car vanished, replaced by a cold, hard stare. He gripped the steering wheel so tight his knuckles turned white. "I like to keep things in the past exactly where they belong," he said, his voice flat. "What? Again with this?" Freya asked, her heart sinking. "You’re really not going to tell me? After everything that happened today, you’re still going to shut me out?" "Kelvin already told you the story," Darlington replied. "That’s all there is to it. There's nothing more to say." "I know that’s not all, Darlington," Freya said softly. She turned in her seat to face him fully. "And I deserve to hear it from you. Not from your assistant, and not from rumors on the street. I deserve to know who I’m really working for. Maybe... maybe I can even help." "You can't help," Darlington replied coldly. The shadows from the trees outside flickered across his face. "There’s nothing you or anyone else can do

"No. I am not coming with you, Darlington," Freya snapped. She turned her head away quickly, trying to wipe the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hand. She didn't want him to see how much his "random girl" comment had actually hurt her. She wanted to look strong, but her voice was trembling. "Go to your important meeting. Leave me here. I don’t care anymore." Darlington didn't move from the door. His face was set in a hard, serious expression that made him look older than he was. "Of course you are coming," he said, his voice dropping into that deep, low tone he used when he was giving orders. "I’m not making a plea, Freya. I’m not asking for your opinion. This is a command. You are coming with me right now." "I said I'm not coming!" Freya yelled, her anger finally exploding. She stepped right up to him, her small frame looking tiny against his massive height. "I don’t care if it’s a command! I don’t care if you own this building or this whole city! I am not coming with you

"Who are you, and how the fuck did you get into my house?" Michael asked, his voice trembling even though he was trying to sound tough. He glared at the tall stranger standing in his living room, but as Darlington took a step closer, Michael’s bravado started to melt. "I said... leave her alone,"

Freya stood very still. She did not move a muscle as she stared down at the paper on the Mr grant palms in front of her. She looked at the ink and the lines for a long time. Her mind was racing, and she thought about every choice she had. After thinking for what felt like hours, she whispered to he

WHAT??" Freya shouted. She quickly rubbed her hand across her mouth to clean it, feeling embarrassed. "Don’t flatter yourself! I am not looking at you," she said quickly, trying to look away. Darlington didn't say a word. He grabbed a towel and tied it around his waist. He wasn't wearing a shirt,

"Yeah, about that, Freya..." Dr. James started, his voice heavy with a tone she knew all too well. "You know the surgery shouldn't exceed next week. We are running out of time. If we don't get her into the theater by then—" "Stop, Doctor," Freya cut him off, her voice trembling. "Just stop. Please
