บททั้งหมดของ The Billionaire’s Contracted Bride: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

~~~~Three days later~~~~I woke up feeling revitalized, eager to shed my convalescent state. After cleaning myself in the bathroom, I emerged refreshed."I told you yesterday I'd be fine," I said to Freya, who smiled warmly."What would you like for breakfast, ma'am?" she asked.I paused, craving independence. "I think I'll prepare breakfast myself."Freya's eyes widened. "You're not fully recovered, ma'am."I chuckled. "Okay, how about we do it together?"Freya nodded, and we headed out of the room – my first time leaving it in four days.As we walked, I glanced toward Kyle's room, curiosity getting the better of me.Freya noticed. "Young Master Kyle isn't around," she said quietly."He told the other maid to take a two-week leave," Freya replied.My brow furrowed. "Why?""I don't know," Freya admitted. "But Dr. Lee told him you're recovering well, and he also informed me

As we pulled up to the mansion, Kyle didn't make any move to exit the car."Aren't you coming?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me."I have to get somewhere else," Kyle replied, his eyes fixed on the steering wheel I unfastened my seatbelt and stepped out into the crisp air."Okay, bye," I said through the window.Kyle nodded curtly, his expression unreadable.With a faint hum, he drove offThe mansion's grand entrance beckoned.Inside, I retreated to my room.Eager to reconnect with Vivian, I unlocked my new phone.Scrolling through contacts, I dialed her number.But it was switched off.I sighed, frustration simmering.Visiting her seemed the next best option.As I headed to the bathroom to freshen up, my mind wandered then the phone's loud ringtone startled me.DK's name flashed on the screen.I picked up."Hey," I answered."Hello, su

 As I approached the elevator, the doors slid open, revealing DK and Kyle inside. My eyes widened in surprise, and I froze, hiccuping involuntarily."Are you coming in or not?" Kyle's deep voice broke the silence, prompting me to hiccup again. I stepped into the elevator, my heart racing."Hey sunshine," DK said with a bright smile. "How are you doing?""I'm fine," I replied, hiccuping once more.DK's expression turned concerned. "You need water."Kyle handed her a half-full bottled water without looking at me. DK passed it to me."Thank you," I said, opening the lid. But as I prepared to drink, I hesitated.If I put my mouth on the bottle, wouldn't that be like indirectly kissing him? My gaze drifted to Kyle's profile, then his lips as his eyes fixed forward."Naina!" DK's voice startled me, making me yelp. The water spilled, drenching my clothes."Argh!" I exclaimed.DK handed me a hand

"Tell me the truth," I demanded, my voice firm but laced with a hint of trepidation. I hoped he wouldn't hurt me.DK shut his eyes, his face contorted in anguish. He let out a deep sigh."Sorry, I can't do this," DK said, his voice cracking.He abruptly exited the car, leaving me stunned.I quickly unfastened my seatbelt and chased after him."You can't do what exactly?" I yelled, my feet pounding the pavement. "Are you lying about having Dissociative Identity Disorder? Who are you exactly?"DK halted, his back still turned."Just stop, please," he yelled back, his voice laced with desperation.I recoiled.The smiling DK, who always seemed carefree, was finally showing his true colors.Maybe I could get him to reveal something."Wow, are you finally showing your true self?" I pressed.DK's hands clenched."Are you Harry now? Huh?" I taunted.DK touched his temple and a low groan e

I sat in my room, but my mind was elsewhere. Mrs. Prescott's favor weighed heavily on my thoughts. She wanted me to take over the company, leveraging my unique position as the carrier of her grandson's child.I let out a sigh, frustration etched on my face.She had dangled the offer like a carrot, tempting me with the promise of revenge against those who had wronged me.She knew I had wanted revenge "Take over the company, and you'll have the ultimate revenge," she had said.But at what cost?And what was her motive?Why did she want me, an outsider, to take the reins?I wasn't even related to the Prescott family, except through the child I carried.Then the rumors swirled in my mind about Harry who taking over the company.Why did Mrs Prescott asked me first ?Was it a power play? Or something more sinister?I thought about my threat to Kyle.Had I been foolish to think it would work? What if he didn't reinstate Freya?Would I really take over the company?The thought sent a shiver d
