All Chapters of LOVE BY CONTRACT : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

DAMIEN POVThe change in her attitude puzzled me. I looked down to my watch wondering if I have the time to deal with this . My eyes swung from my watch to my wife like a ping pong as I quickly debated my next action. Leaving without addressing this could put me on the naughty list and then it will be dry spells for weeks. Yep, Lily has done it before. Deprived me of sex for weeks just because she was mad at me for not remembering her birthday two years ago. It wasn't my fault, work was hectic and I was trying to keep my father's company from being bought out from under my nose. Still trying. I decided on dealing with this even if it will mean few more minutes late to work. When I got to the bed she has her back towards me. "Did I do something wrong?" I asked as softly as I could possibly sound so as not to piss her off further. When Lily is like this she becomes passive aggressive and anything I do tends to piss her off. She ignored me for few seconds before desiring to give me

KAMARIA POV Her grip tightened behind my back. I pulled back so that I am staring in her eyes. "I love you, and what happened between your father and I is in the past, I don't want you to ever think that any of it was your fault. Okay?" She nodded wiping her eyes. "Will you tell me what happened between you and dad?" "Maybe someday, but not today baby, you need to get ready for school." She nodded before throwing herself into my arms. "I love you, mummy," she said softly before withdrawing to get out of the bed, her cheerful mood returned making me sigh inside with envy. While my daughter went into the bathroom to take her bath, I decided to head downstairs to the kitchen to start breakfast. I turned on the coffee machine and while that was brewing and started on the breakfast and lunch package for my little girl. Today is our first days and I want everything to go smoothly. I start at my new place of work today, and Davina at her new school. We might have started on a rocky st

DAMIEN POVFor the past few weeks I have been picking up on some weird attitude from Lily. She gets angry easily with me, doesn't want to talk and the only thing she seems to want from me is sex, all the time. We never talk anymore. "The morning incident few days ago," I kept my eyes on her. She has yet to look in my direction, which is another thing I have picked up on. Lily avoids looking at me directly as if scared of what I might see in her eyes, like she is hiding something from me. "There is no need, I have already forgotten about it." Her causally muttered words shocked me, and made my eye brows raise in disbelief. This is the first time I have ever heard her use these words. "Oh," I mumbled clearly lacking words to say. "You are right." "Am I," her sudden change of character is keeping me off balance, and making me lack any reasonable come back. My not so intelligent response sounded funny to her that her lips stretched into a soft smile making her pretty face shine and

KAMARIA POV "Your mother is right, Davina. We love each other very much, but nothing romantic. You could say we are soul mates," Bobby smiled at me, and I smiled back agreeing with his words. "Shouldn't your soulmate be someone you are in love with?" Davina frowned at Bobby. "Not necessarily. Come on guys let me introduce you to my wife and kids. Jonathan and his girlfriend are here too," he added as we trailed through the short corridor leading into the living room. "So I am meeting your significant others at the same time, cool," I said sarcastically making Bobby chuckle. "Don't worry, I am sure they both will love you." I nodded hoping that his words are through. "There she is!" Jonathan made a bee line for me as soon as we walked into the room. "Hi, Ria," he smiled before pulling me into a hug. "Hi, Jon," I smiled as I hugged him back. I could feel someone's eyes on us and quickly patted him to let go. "Hello, Davina," Jonathan greeted my daughter excitedly, raising his h

DAMIEN POVFor the occasional I rented a Lemo service. I nodded my head indicating I was ready to get the show on the road. Our driver was waiting outside the car, as soon as he caught sight of us he hurried around to open the door. I assisted Lily inside before joining her. "A drink?" I took out the complementary champagne inside the car and popped it open. Lily shook her head to the offer. I chucked down the drink and poured another for myself. Lily was being unusually quiet, so I looked at her. She had this nervous expression on her face. I know what the look is all about. She wears this look each time she has to do something important publicly, or in this case expecting an award. Telling her she will win will be an empty assurance as I wasn't in charge of the award, so I allowed her the space she needed and drank silently beside her. By the time we got to the venue I have had quite the buzz from the champagne to carry me through the night. This kind of public appearances w
