All Chapters of Dear Contract Wife, You Are Mine : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 31Maybelline Walter POVI felt so exhausted after a long ride to the company. We were stuck in a traffic jam for a few minutes before we were able to make it out. "Are you ok? Do you want to go to the hospital?" I was stunned when Miles asked with concern written all over him just because I groaned tiredly."I'm fine," I managed to reply to him."What are you going to do now that you don't have a secretary anymore? I can still take...""We agreed that you won't be working while we are married, so don't think of that..." He paused, then looked up from his desktop to me."I will do something about it in a few days. The work is not difficult for me to handle," I slowly nodded and turned my face away.My phone beeped, and I checked to see a text from Lily.'Are you there?' 'Hmm. I'm here. What's up?' 'Do you think Miguel is mad at me because I kissed him the last time? He has been giving me cold shoulders and avoiding me' I could feel the sadness in her text, but I couldn't he

Chapter 33Maybelline Walter POV'I'm sorry, I don't think I'll be able to go see it with you' I declined Liam's request earlier since I have plans with Miles after work.It was finally closing time, and we got ready to leave the office."So, which restaurant should we...""I changed my mind. Let's go home," His reply came rather harsh and cold, leaving me confused."Why?" I was forced to ask."Nothing. I don't feel like going out to eat anymore. I have something to deal with at home also," He didn't even spare me a glance as he grabbed his coat and headed toward the door."Are you not going to wait up for me?" I rushed after him, but he kept walking.We took the elevator to the first floor and when we arrived at the parking lot, he hopped in the driver's seat of his car and started the car. I could bet with my life that he would've driven off if not that I was fast to hop inside the car."What's with you?" I mumbled as I fastened my seatbelt. Just when I thought he was going to star

Chapter 35Thinking about May was something therapeutic for Miles. How his life has been filled with brightness ever since she stepped into it, the happiness she had brought to him over the few months that they'd known each other. The thought of everything made Miles excited and unable to hide his smile and his gratefulness.After the incident that happened five years ago, Miles had lived the recent years of his life wallowing in pain, thinking he would never find someone like her again. His heart was never going to open to another woman again, at least that was what he thought, not until May came into his life and changed everything.It was love at first sight for him, but how could he have summoned the courage to confess his feelings to his secretary who was obviously terrified of his slightest presence? Getting rejected wasn't his thing, especially from someone he cherished.Miles's heart missed a beat as the incident of that night replayed in his head. For weeks, he had been remin

Chapter 37Maybelline Walter POV'I have been looking for you for fifteen years, Maybelline. I'm glad I finally found you, my daughter''Your mom was my college sweetheart, but we separated after graduation and I later got married. Fate brought us together again years later, but I was already married then and my wife was pregnant at that time. We had a thing together because of an old spark, and she got pregnant with you' My heart wrenched painfully as his words replayed in my head. I tried to hold back my tears as I sat in the backseat of the cab I boarded, but it was so difficult that I eventually had to let it all out.'What happened afterward?' As much as I was already disgusted by the story, I couldn't help but ask him as I looked into his eyes back there, but his reply rather left me disappointed.'My wife found out about the pregnancy, and I had to pay your Mom to abort you. I was wrong, May... I shouldn't have done that... I should've fought for her' I was impressed that he di

Chapter 39"Are you sure she'll be fine, Doc?" Miles asked the doctor for the umpteenth time over the phone."Yes, Mr. Miles. All she need is a good rest, and she'll come out strong,""What about the baby? Are you sure the baby is fine also?""You have nothing to worry about. I would've told you if the baby was not fine, so it's nothing to worry about," He breathed out in relief after the doctor assured him."Thank you so much,""Alright. I got to go now," He breathed out again after the call ended, and sank his fingers into his hair while sitting on the edge of the bed. "What happened to her? Was she assaulted by that bastard again?" Even though the doctor already told him earlier that it wasn't an assault, he still thought maybe it was something of such, especially as Oscar escaped and was no longer under his custody.The sound of his ringing phone disrupted his thoughts, and he quickly reached for it and swiped the answer button when he saw that it was Miguel."Shoot!""Man, I'm a
