Lahat ng Kabanata ng Contract Marriage: Married To A Sadistic CEO: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

“Thank you, Alden,” Olivia said with a faint smile after Alden informed her that he had bought the shares. “You don't have to thank me. After all, I am paying for your service,” he said coldly, his gaze still on his screen. He couldn't believe he wasted a million dollars to buy worthless shares for a stranger. “Haha, what service did you pay for?” She asked, curious about what his answer could be. He hesitated before he replied, his gaze lifted to look at her. “I paid you for saving my life earlier. I paid you by buying worthless shares with my one million dollars.” Her eyes widened at his words, lost for words for a while. “What do you mean? Even the shares I once had didn't amount to half a million. I was the highest shareholder, so what are you implying?” When she finally got a hold of herself, she asked curiously. “I bought 47% shares of the company. At least the share price is beginning to rise, all thanks to me. I can't spend more than a million on a company's shares,” he re

‘I just can't figure out Alden. He acts cute sometimes, and totally strange at other times. Does he have a split personality?’ Olivia asked herself after she got into the cab. She kept thinking about possible reasons that could make Alden stab Bradford, but couldn't find one. “Ma, we are here.” The driver's voice made her snap out of her thoughts. She paid the driver before she got out of the car and headed into the building she once lived in with the man she loved. Reminded of the days she spent in the mansion, tears welled up in her eyes. It was just a few days since she was away, but it felt like a few years. “Damn! I shouldn't be feeling this way.” She jerked off her thoughts and wiped her eyes before she walked closer to the building. She knocked faintly but got no response. Just as she was about to leave, the door opened, and a young man walked out to meet her. “Why are you knocking on my door like that?” Olivia's eyes blinked rapidly at his words. It became obvious to

Atlas ignored Alden's question before he stretched over his phone to Grandma Katherine. “Grandma, you can decide if Alden still deserves to be the CEO of Crawford Group after watching this video.” Alden gritted his teeth as he stared at his grandma, who was carried away with the video she was watching. He knew it was over for him if this video influenced her mindset. Nothing mattered to Grandma Katherine aside from public opinions and company growth. “Is he still capable? What is a capable man without an amazing woman by his side, grandma?” Atlas asked with a sly smile. “Sooner or later, she will influence him and destroy our family by ruining our reputable image,” he added. Grandma Katherine let out a deep sigh at the thought of everything Atlas just said. Maybe now is the time to let Alden prove his capability. “Alden, what your brother said isn't totally wrong. I can't let you make the same mistake your mom did years ago,” she said with tears clustered in her eyes. She hated to

“No, I don't because there is nothing about you that I can ever like.” Alden's response made Olivia's heart sink. He was the first person to say such words to her. During her high school days, countless boys had asked her out. Not even her first boyfriend could reject her after she confessed her feelings. “What exactly can't you like about me?” She asked, sounding defeated. “Your eyes? The way you talk? Your inconsistent behavior? The fact that I can't figure you out? If I decide to list what I dislike about you, I will end up using a whole day to do so,” he replied with a cunning smile. She bit her lip at his words, unsure whether to be sad or happy. She was supposed to be happy that their personal feelings wouldn't get in the way of achieving their goal. “What if you end up liking me? No, what if I end up liking you?” She asked curiously. He smiled faintly at her words, giving her the facial expression, 'I just remembered something'. “Oh, I almost forgot,” he paused, his hazel

“Olivia,” Alden called out after knocking on her door several times. He kept calling her name nonstop until she opened the door and came out. “Olivia, can I come in?” he asked, maintaining his usual smiling face. “Sure. I also have something to tell you,” she replied, letting him in. Olivia did not allow him to sit down before she began. “Aziel raped me when we were dating. He took advantage of my innocence and love.” “So?” Alden's lips parted, as if that was none of his business. “I am terminating the contract. I can't go on with this marriage. I can't act like your wife when I know Aziel is your brother,” she replied sadly. “Are you terminating the contract because you are trying not to remember what happened or because you are afraid of him?” Alden asked, his gaze piercing through hers, as if he could see through her. She hesitated before she replied, “Both. I don't want to have anything to do with Aziel or the people around him.” “But I am not him.” She bit her lips, hold
