Semua Bab The billionaire’s contracted wife: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Hey Lena, stop smiling foolishly. You have been like this all day long, it's almost frightening. Can you please cut that off? It scares me."Lena, who had been all smiles before, frowned all of a sudden."Eh! What nonsense are you saying? What do you mean by that? How can you say that I'm foolish, Ella? That's very cruel," Lena complained."I didn't say you are foolish. I said that you are smiling foolishly," Ella argued."What's the difference?"This time, Ella was speechless."Alright, you won. Now tell me, what's making you all so happy? You won some lottery?""Well... I think Richard is going to propose tonight," she said happily."Tcht! That moron. What makes you think he's going to propose? Did he tell you himself?""No he didn't. But tonight is our third-year anniversary and he promised to give me a special gift, something that I have always desired. Come on, think about it. What else have I desired all this while if not this?"Ella scoffed and decided not to comment. "Anyway,

When Ella was informed of what had happened, she was mad."That bastard! How dare he do this to you? I always knew that boy was good for nothing," she fumed.Lena had to try her best to calm her friend down. She could see that Ella was genuinely worried about her, and that made her happy."You shouldn't worry too much, Ella. I think I will get over it very soon," she assured her friend.Knock knock!A loud knock came from the door."Are you expecting anybody?" Ella asked."No, I'm not." Lena was also confused."Okay, I'll get the door for you then," Ella volunteered. Lena nodded, grateful.Soon, she heard Ella's loud voice."You? What are you doing here? How dare you show your face after what you did?"Lena immediately sat up from the bed. She could hear Richard's voice too."What's your business with how I handle my relationship and how I treat my girl? It's none of your business, so get out of my face!" he said angrily and was ready to push his way through when Lena came out of her

Lena had a good memory and was able to recognize the man even though she only saw her once.Her face burned with shame. The man probably thought her a slut and wanted to have another swing. Her face darkened and she was ready to give him a good telling off just before he interrupted her."I know what you want to say. I know what happened that day was an accident and I am really sorry." Lena was calmed by his sudden apology, so she decided to listen to him. "It's okay, I know it wasn't what you wanted too, I guess both of us are victims, now if you have nothing else to say I will like to excuse myself." She said firmly."No need to rush, I have something important I want to tell you, please listen to me first, this will benefit you." He added seeing that she was about to reject him."Okay, tell me what it's, I'm listening.""I can't do it here." He looked towards a nearby restaurant. "Let's go over there." She nodded and followed him to the restaurant."My name is Carson, nice to mee

Sophie was all dressed, standing before the mirror. She was applying some light makeup when there was a light knock on the door.“Come in,” she called out. One of the housemaids came in.“Ma'am, Sir Carson is waiting for you in the living room downstairs,” she informed.“Alright, I’ll be there now,” Sophie replied. She was still wondering if she would ever get used to the way she was addressed in this house. It felt weird to her.When she came downstairs, she saw Carson standing aloof. It was as if nothing in this world mattered to him. His expression was cold.Carson was a bit startled when he saw her. She was wearing a red gown. The gown was made by a top designer and somehow, it managed to fit her perfectly. It was like it was specially made for her. It was the gown he bought for her for the occasion.She looked even more beautiful than he remembered, even though she was wearing only light makeup.“Mr. Carson,” Sophie called out. She felt uncomfortable with the way he was staring a

The dinner continued into the night before everyone settled into their own rooms. The O'Connell family's main mansion was very huge, so there was enough room for everybody to stay until the following day, before they could leave for their respective homes.Nobody actually lived in the O'Connell family house after Carson's grandfather died a few months ago. They only came once a month for the family dinner, which took place at least once every month. Even though the old man was dead, they still observed the dinner in his honor to show respect, even if they knew it was just temporary.Since Carson and Sophie are a couple, they were provided with one room. It was actually Carson's room from childhood. He had lived with his grandfather since he was born and literally grew up beside the old man.Sophie felt awkward having to sleep in the same room with Carson. She hoped he wouldn't have any bad thoughts toward her. She had learned that men can be unpredictable sometimes from her friends.T
