บททั้งหมดของ The CEO'S Contract Husband: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Leticia’s povShe sighed. “Look, I’m only telling you this because I’m looking out for you and your family. I care about our children’s future. You know my husband is on the board and sure you might hear something’s from your board in front of them but behind they say and do a lot. So be careful. If he continues down the path he’s taking. It won’t help. He’ll be closing doors that should be open for him.”The waiter who has gone to get her new meals came back and placed a new plate before her but she didn’t care.“Also,” she continued, “there have been rumblings of late. Investors demanding to know when we’re going to start seeing a return on our investments. This merger… this rashness in general… doesn’t foster good faith. People want solid ground. Familiarity. And they won’t find any of that here.”I kept quiet for a while as she looked at her plate and started to cut into it as she ate it slowly.“You’re the only person who has any real influence with Alex as you’re his mother. I m

Leticia’s povA ripple of shifting in seats, a few exchanged looks spread out but I was done being pushed around. It was time to handle my family in silence and shut these fat bastards up.I let the silence hang for a moment longer before I sat back. My heart pounded but my voice stayed steady.One of the women got up to face me. “I apologize for the way we have treated this matter. In fact. We all are. But what we’re trying to explain is that it’s not personal on our part. It’s strategic.” “Perhaps we should concentrate on how to strategize without policing my son’s marriage.”That indeed, shut her up.She nodded and sat down as we went back to the main meeting.It didn’t take long before the meeting was over and everyone except me and my husband stayed behind.Lyon looked at the folder on the table before him as he sighed and rubbed his temple.“They’re finally all gone,” I said softly, just to break up that sudden silence.“I know.” His voice was low, flat. “Doesn’t change the fac

Dennis’s povI was sitting, my hands were held so tight together that I could see how white they had become and make an impression in the skin. I tried my best to stay calm but it felt like I couldn’t get enough air in the room.There really wasn’t a lot of noise as well, just a persistent beep of some device near to mum’s bed. The smell of iodine was all around – it probably settled down on me too… I still can’t stand this smell. No matter how many times I stay in this place.I looked at her. Still sick and felt a bit angry that she has to go through all of this. Hasn't she tried enough?I sighed. Maybe this was going to blow over. Maybe soon enough she would get well and I couldn't wait for that to happen.The door creaked open and two doctors entered the room with their standard “we have news” grins on their faces. My insides clenched into a knot because of fear – until one of them started to talk.‘She’s responding to treatment,’ said the older one, flicking through a chart. ‘Swe

Dennis’s povI wasn’t even inside for a full minute before Alex came at me with it. No hello. No “how was your day.” Just straight to business, like always.“You need to move in,” he said, voice steady but sharp, like the blade he was cleaning. He was standing in the foyer with that unreadable face of his, dressed down in a black shirt that clung too perfectly to his shoulders. “Fully. No more going back and forth to your apartment.”I stopped in my tracks, bag still in hand. “What?”“You heard me,” he said, not even bothering to face me as he walked further into the house like the discussion had already come to a close. I felt my jaw lock. “Alex, I still pay rent on that place. I—”“Then stop paying.” I scoffed. “You’re not being serious right now. Are you fucking kidding me? You can’t show up and just say that.”“I just did. Just stop paying for it. It’s not that hard. If it’s about the rent, why stay there when you can stay with me… your husband.”“For gods sake it’s not about th

Lydia’s povI knew who was in the fucking picture and my heart slowly started to break.Dennis.My Dennis.Out on the street, arms wrapped around another man. Holding him tight, smiling like… like he belonged.I blinked hard multiple times as I stared at the headline.“Alex spotted with new husband—public embrace confirms rumors.”“God no,” I gasped as I leaned against the wall and read it while he scoffed.“I guess he got tired of waiting for you… and moved on with someone who actually wanted him.”“No… he wouldn’t.”“I had no idea he liked dicks. Might have given him mine.”Dennis. Was married.To a man.The room spun. I tried to steady myself but it was not happening.I was falling apart.I swallowed hard, but it felt like glass. My vision blurred. My lover was still standing there smirking, satisfied that he’d destroyed me, but I didn’t even see him anymore.All I saw was Dennis, smiling into someone else’s arms.And I can’t lie, it destroyed me.I turned and left the house as hi
