All Chapters of The Contract: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

LaylaI looked up and saw his eyes closed. I can't help but go on my tiptoes, kissing his lips. He sighs, tightening his hold on me and burying his head in my hair. "Danny, you need to trust me. Sebastian and I dated a long time ago; there is nothing between us. I haven't seen or heard from him in over seven years. And for all I know, he's probably dating or married." "And if he isn't?" Danny says, looking at me madly. "Danny, enough. It wouldn't matter, ok?" I say, holding my hand up and making him look at my ring. "This!" " I say, as my other hand rests on his chest. "Should be enough for you to have confidence in us. The fact that these rings bond us.""And it has nothing to do with the fact we signed a contract, right?" "You know what? If you don't trust me, then why did you marry me? Why not annul the marriage as I asked you from the beginning?" I was mad. "Wait. Layla, I'm sorry. I just... It pissed me off to see how he's just looking at you. I wanted to punch his teeth in." "

LaylaDaniel held me tightly; I couldn't help but bury my head in his shoulder as I hugged him back. "Ladybug, I know you have every right to be mad and doubt in me. But I promise I had my reasons. I kept Zoey from you, and I have been nothing but a jerk to you for years. And I know I should have told you about Zoey, except..it's more complicated than it seems. Plus, I never thought I'd see her again, then this happened. Suddenly you and I are married, and-" he rambles on as he looks at me with teary eyes."Danny! Relax...True, I am a little upset. Ok, a lot upset... But I'm here for you. And I'm here for Zoey if needed. I'm all ears. Just tell me. I'm listening." I say as he takes a seat next to me. "Zoey is special to me, Layla. And now... I'm all she's got." he says as he lowers his voice. "What do you mean? Who's her mom, Danny?" I ask, making him look at me, worried."You know, the night you and I finally slept together, I felt my life was complete." he says smiling and looking d

Cassidy's birthday came, and we were busy all day. I'm losing my mind, running from one place to the other. I wasn't supposed to participate in this event other than assist at the party, but Stephanie had the bright idea of taking off to Hawaii for the weekend at the last minute. There for, I had to fill in. To make matters even better, Daniel has been out of the office all morning. Everyone has been running around like crazy and asking for him. I called mom to help babysit Zoey since Riley had an appointment at the doctor's today, and mom was thrilled to do so. It's been a long time since we had a baby in the Garcia's residence, and Zoey has grown to love mom's goofy side. Mom's friends always make Zoey laugh. They take her to the park and the zoo and fill mom's living room with toys for Zoey. Last time they ended at Danny's restaurant after taking Zoey golfing with them. Zoey had a blast until she tried stuffing a ball in her mouth. Luckily, mom stopped her, but she began throwing

Layla (Next Day- Runway Show)"Hugo... Where's Hugo? Have you guys seen Hugo?" dad yells from the top of his lungs frantically. I was doing Ingrid's hair while she fixed her shoe. The runway was starting in just minutes.The whole place was swarming with models, stylists, make-up artists; you name it. I felt giddy myself; I haven't been to one of these things in so long. The curtain moves a little, exposing the outside. The house was pact, and I could see the security guards trying to keep the paparazzi out of place.I move my head around and smile as I see Danny sitting up front, right at the end of the runway. God- he looked handsome. He wore a navy buttoned-up with a light gray suit. It fit him perfectly, making his gray eyes pop even more. It was as if he sensed my staring and turned, smiling and winking at me, making me blush. I smiled, bit my lip, and lowered my head to hide my blushing. "Layla, baby. Have you seen Hugo?" dad asked, making me turn. "Ahh, no, dad. Have you tried

LaylaI woke up feeling so happy this morning. I lay on my stomach with my arms under my pillow. Danny had his arm and leg wrapped around me, making me sigh. The sight of him sleeping next to me always made me feel happy. I leaned over, kissing his nose and making him smile. If you told me I'd be married, in love, and his arms three months ago, I'd probably laugh and say you were crazy. But yet, here I am, so in love, married, and in his arms."Mornin' beautiful," he says in a groggy-husky voice. I smiled, turning my body and cuddling in his chest, "Good morning, my handsome husband." I reply, making him smile. "What time Is it?" he asks, still with his eyes closed and placing his chin on my head. "I don't know. But the sun is just coming out. Do we have to get up already?" I ask, hoping to stay like this forever."Yeah, I'm afraid so, baby. We have a few things to go over before heading to work," he says, making me groan inwardly. I pout, looking up at him with my puppy eyes. He chuc
