Все главы She's Trouble: His Bride with a Dollar Sign: Глава 61 - Глава 70

“Mmm!” Charlie opened her mouth as he lightly pushed a strawberry between her teeth. The fruit was surprisingly sweet as her teeth crushed the flesh into shreds. However, she did not know what was more mouthwatering, the berry or his fingers as they grazed along the side of her lips. “I’m glad you like it.” He smiled, a boyish grin that would have women falling at his feet. “Wait!” His fingers stopped just inches from her face. “There’s something...” She felt the palm of his thumb, wiping the edge of her lips. “You have...” He showed her the juice that glistened on the tip of his finger. Honestly, that was a fucking cliche. Every romance novel had a scene like this. Nonetheless, she had to admit that it was still fucking hot as jolts of electricity shot into her entire body with that brief contact. “Oh! Thanks.” She suddenly felt uncomfortable as a strong presence seemed to loom over the room. She fell into silence while avoiding looking into his eyes. Of course, she was gratefu

“Let us welcome our newly appointed CEO, Mr. Isaac Saunders, my son and the heir of the Saunders Group,” James proudly announced to the Board as he finally formalized stepping down from his position. Ultimately, he could relinquish his reins on the company, leaving it in good hands. His son had already proven himself capable of running the company alone. Now, his son had even earned the Board’s respect and support. However, relaxing was not on the table, not just yet. His son still needed to produce an heir who would continue their lineage and legacy before he could finally retire. “Thank you, Dad,” Isaac politely said, offering a gentle smile as his colleagues’ loud applause faded. Likewise, he took the opportunity to show his gratitude to his father for entrusting the company to him. Starting from scratch and working hard would not guarantee him success with a new venture. Luckily for him, he was born into this world. Without his father’s hard work, Isaac would not have inherite

Isaac immediately saw red upon seeing his wife kissed by what she called a childhood friend. He was instantly transformed into a raging bull with a red flag waving before his eyes. Usually, he hated losing control, especially over trivial matters. But at the moment, all he could think about was beating Matt to a pulp, not caring if he acted like a caveman. “What is wrong with you, Isaac?” She stopped him, blocking his path and holding on to him for dear life before he could lay a hand on her precious friend. She was not expecting that her husband would make a fuss over a friendly gesture. More surprisingly, what was it to him? It was not as if they were a real couple. They might have a contract, but it still did not mean that they were emotionally involved. At least, that was her understanding. What was wrong with him? That would be the million-dollar question of the day as Isaac stared between his wife and the man she was trying to protect from him. “What is wrong with me? I sh

“For heaven’s sake, Charlie.” She closed her eyes, covering her face with the pillow beside her, before shouting at the top of her lungs. Her head spun just thinking about yesterday’s event, especially last night. It felt like she had just had a roller coaster ride with the shitty things that happened. But that was just it. It had not been all that bad, as she thought of the highlights of the night. It might seem like a dream, but she knew quite well that it was not. Every kiss, caress, intense moment that sent her soaring to the heavens and burning in hell was all too real. “Damn, I am totally fuck.” Or rather, she was totally fucked. But that was not the real issue, as she thought of what was really bothering her. For her contract husband, last night was just sex. A way to blow off steam and those pent-up urges since they vowed to stay loyal to each other while married. “Of course, that made sense.” She mumbled. She could not be seen dating other men, much worse, sleeping with

How did she end up in this situation again? She promised she would never put herself in this compromising and possibly heartbreaking position after her failed relationship. But damn! Here she was again. Falling! “Damn it, Charlie! You’re such a fool!” She mumbled in her low voice that she barely even heard it herself. Whatever made her think that she would ever have control of her life? Joke on her! How could she have let this happen? “Hey, Charlie, are you ready?” Finally, her husband appeared by the door, carrying three red roses in his left hand. But she could not see his other hand as he kept it behind his back. Three roses! Did it mean anything? Or was it just a kind gesture? An action that was expected from this so-called relationship. Whatever this was. “Yeah!” She popped her lips and checked her appearance in the mirror one last time. “Let me grab my things.” She hurriedly said, shoving her thoughts for later. She picked up her bag from the vanity table and turned
