Masuk“What is this?” Aria asked as she stared at the envelope. “A marriage contract,” he told her, “I need you to get married to me and be my wife and then I'll help you get revenge against your ex-husband. That way we both get what we want.” Aria's gaze was fixated on the envelope. Contract marriage?, She questioned herself. This could be the answer she needed right now. A revenge that would put her ex-husband in the worse of all places. She wants to make him feel so miserable, just as he has made her feel. *** After being betrayed by her ex-husband, Aria is left with nothing, not until the ruthless young millionaire Damien Blackwood offers her a deal: marriage, power, and retribution. As she steps into his world, she soon realizes that vengeance comes with a price… and a passion she never expected. But in a game of secrets and betrayal, is she the player—or the pawn?

He was fuming as he stared at her in anger. Aria, his wife, remained unmoved. This is not the first time she has been yelled at by her beloved spouse. His new attitude just started recently and Aria wondered what was behind it. He was now returning home late at night, and the sight of her seemed to disgust him. What was once a perfect family was now crushing slowly. “But–” “–I'll speak and hear no more of this,” he abruptly interrupted. He then grabbed his briefcase from the couch and stormed out of the house in anger. When he was gone, Aria let out a deep breath, one she had been holding in. She sniffled and tried not to imagine any negative thoughts. Memories of their once beautiful relationship came flooding back into her mind, and that strengthened her. “Maybe he has been overworking himself,” she said to herself, since she couldn't think of any other reason behind his recent behavior. After hours of contemplating how to make up with him, she finally decided to deliver his food at his workplace. Since he hadn't had breakfast, she figured it would be the best way to show she agreed with him and to express her apology. *** Walking up to the Blackwood Enterprise where Lucas works as the Chief Financial Officer, Aria was greeted by the elegant structure of the building. It was one of the most stunning architectures she has seen. She entered the vast area and proceeded right to the elevator. Soon, she arrived at the fifth floor and turned towards his office with the package in hand. When Aria arrived at his door, she was surprised at herself for remembering it. He had once brought her to his workplace during a welcoming party, that was years back when they were newlyweds. During the event, she had visualized the whole place with her mind's eyes and now she could navigate the direction to his office without guidance. She smiled. She was ready to make amends with her husband and bring back what they had before. Their wonderful relationship. With the package in one hand, she opened the door and entered, wanting to surprise him. Suddenly, she gasped in bewilderment. Was her eyes playing tricks on her? Standing in front of the desk in the office was her husband thrusting in and out of the female seated in front of him. Her legs were wrapped around him and her arms were around his neck in a sexual way as she moaned quietly. The two seemed to be having a good time to not notice the lady staring at them in shock and disgust. Aria, still struck by the view before her, immediately dropped the package on the floor. This disrupted the love birds as they turned quickly to look. Lucas hurriedly pulled his pants up, while the lady hopped down from the table and pulled her skirt down. “How dare you walk into my office without knocking?” Lucas thundered. Aria, who was now angry, approached him asking, “Would you mind explaining to me what I just saw?” “Babe, who is she?” the lady asked. “Babe?” Aria repeated, as she looked from her husband to the lady, “I am his wife, you motherfucker!” “Oh, was she the–annoying thing–you always talk about?” the lady asked again, eying her. “Thing!” Aria yelled as she approached the lady with a closed fist. “Would you stop this nonsense!” Lucas shouted as he pulled his wife away. “I can't believe you would do this to me Lucas. Was this the reason you flared up at my proposal to work? So that you would keep me at home while you have sex with other women?” Lucas remained expressionless. His face held a blank stare as he watched his wife display her anger. When she was done, she stormed out in anger and went toward the elevator. As it opened, she caught sight of a group of men walking past her into the elevator and followed. The men stared at her as she entered and the elevator closed before them. Now in an enclosed space, Aria sniffled a cry. “I will never forgive you Lucas for doing this to me.” she cried, “I loved you with all my heart and this is how you reciprocate it.” She had forgotten the men behind her, as she clutched onto her chest in pain. Soon, she cleaned her eyes and became quiet. The elevator opened and the men walked out including Aria. They walked towards the exit, but one remained behind Aria. “I see that you are in pain,” the man asked in a deep voice, “did something terrible happen?” Aria turned to see who was talking. She locked eyes with a man she has never seen before. He looked undoubtedly handsome with his cold blue eyes, a well-built physique, and a striking well-defined face. “Who are you and how do you know I am in pain?” Aria asked out of curiosity. “If you must know, my name is Damien,” he started with a straight face, “and your face says it all.” He tucked his hands into the pocket of his pants, “May I know the reason behind your sadness?” he questioned firmly. “I do not wish to tell a mere stranger about my private life.” Aria blurted out quickly. “I heard you mention a guy's name back there,” he pointed at the elevator, “Does this have to do with your relationship with him?” Aria did not say a word. She had forgotten she wasn't alone in the elevator. But still, she couldn't admit that to a complete stranger. “What if I tell you there's a way to get back at him?” the man said amidst the silence. Aria's face lit up quickly as she turned to face him. “And how would that happen?” she asked, with a raised brow. Damien's lips curled up into a smile, “Marry me.” 🌼Hey lovelies, 🌼Don't forget to follow for more updates! ♡♡♡🌼Damien was lost in thought as he drove home. His mind drifted back to the dinner he had with his father. The old man had told him how glad he was to have done things he couldn't do.“I might not have been a sole part of your childhood up to adulthood but I'm proud of the man you have become.” he had told him.Damien had been speechless, not knowing what to say or do.“Eleanor told me how you had tracked her location and begged her to come back.” He paused and sighed, “I have tried as much as possible to forget about everything, but still, memories about her still flood back, not until I saw her.”“I acted out of feeling, father.”“You did well, Damien. And now we have settled our differences because of you.”“I'm glad, father.” Damien said.“And as for Aria…”Damien looked at him.“She's really wonderful. Maybe I shouldn't have concluded before seeing her.” he had told him.“What are you thinki
The next morning, Aria woke up to the bright light that seeped in through the curtain. She smiled and turned only to find Damien at the opposite side of the bed. Aria gasped wondering how they had landed up together. She remembered the dinner with the parents and him during her home and then feeling sleepy not until he carried her to the room and–Her eyes widened. They had had sex!She glanced at the window and noticed it was bright already and she was already late for work. Just as she wanted to get up she felt a hand curled around her waist.“Don't go yet.” Damien mumbled.“I have to work.” Aria told him as she pulled it gently.“You can skip today. I will have them understand.”“No, Damien. I will not be misusing my relationship with you.”Damien sat up quickly. “So you agree we are in a relationship?”Aria rolled her eyes playfully. “Oh please. I have to go.”“Fine.” Damien said
The clock was ticking. It was already past 5pm and Aria was seated at the makeup desk with Sophie helping her put her hair into a bun. Aria was nervous, she could feel it because it was a few hours more before she would meet Damien's parents.She had told him about her decision to accept the dinner invitation and he had offered to pick her up, now she was getting dressed and wondering if it was all a dream.“You look gorgeous, babe.” Sophie commented as Aria stared at herself in the mirror.She could not believe the elegant, sophisticated lady she was looking at. From the emerald green pencil gown to the pair of white stilettos and clutch, every part of her exuded elegance and mystery. She did not belong to the rich society but she looked like one.“You are going to take their breaths away by your beauty.”“Oh please.” Aria said, secretly rolling her eyes. “I am already nervous.”“Nervous? That is totally normal.” Sophie said, th
“Aria!” Sophie shouted the moment Aria stepped into the house.“Sophie.” Aria said weakly as she crashed on the couch. “What happened to you?”“It is a seemingly long story.” Aria told her, then she went on to tell her how she was kidnapped.“Fuck Lucas! I hope he rots in jail and fuck Camille too, she is a devil!”Aria let out a weak chuckle. It was funny seeing Sophie cuss.“I missed you.” Aria said, hugging her.“Me too. I was so worried. I wanted to go look for you but I had no idea where.”“I'm glad you stayed back. Damien took care of everything.”Sophie smiled. “He is such a saviour. Guess he still loved you no doubt.”Aria let out a weak smile. She did not know if that was love or something else.***Hours later, Sophie decided to head home while Aria insisted on waiting for Damien. She wanted to confirm if her feelings were really true or false.It
“What is it? You don't want me?” Damien asked when he noticed Aria did not want to enter the vehicle. Aria did not say anything. She was still contemplating on if she should or should not enter. “What is your answer going to be?” Damien asked again with a slight smirk. He was sure she had no oth
“Sir.” Adrian called as he entered the office in a hurry. Damien, who had been lost in thought, quickly regained consciousness and looked at his assistant.“Yes, Adrian? Is there a problem? And why didn't you knock?” he asked him.“I did, but it appears you were too busy,” the man explained as he
“Who the hell does he think he is?” Damien yelled in anger as he slammed the door behind him. He walked towards his office, pulling his tie as he walked while Adrian trotted behind him in a slow and calculated manner. He was aware of his boss' temper, and the only thing he could do was distance h
Damien did not know what brought him to Aria's room. He just found himself there. She stood before him, her eyes shining in surprise at his intrusion.Damien was speechless, not that he did not know what to say, but because he was not sure if she would believe him if he said he came to see her.He
