All Chapters of No Strings Contract : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

EVELYN Two days in Dublin and I was already loving my experience so far. It was much more lively than Galway in a way. As for where we were staying, Ian brought us to his penthouse. "Do you still want more?" Rio was done eating his breakfast and he pushed his empty plate to me.He whined in response "Alright, baby." I filled up his plate again. "This should be enough.""Babe," Ian called. "In the kitchen." With the spatula in my hand, I flipped the last pancake I was making this morning."Hey buddy." Ian waved at Rio who raised his head when he entered the kitchen."You're dressed already? Thought you would have something first before leaving." I slowly pouring syrup over the warm pancakes, then I placed fried eggs beside it."Yeah, I have a meeting by eight thirty." "What's the time?""Twenty five minutes past seven.""Come on. You still have more than an hour extra. Please, take a seat." He lowered himself to the kitchen chair beside me."I love being punctual, babe.""Your jew

EVELYNOn a bright Christmas morning, I woke up curled up on the bed, cuddling Ian's pillow. I had missed him all night. I turned to the other side of the bed only to see Rio's head up from his and his eyes on me, like he has been waiting for me to wake up."Merry Christmas, my love. We have the whole of today to ourselves." I put my hand under his chin and he responded by licking my hand.After I had freshened up, I called my mom first to wish her."Merry Christmas, Honey.""How are you, Mom?""Great, really great, because I have all the roast turkey to myself this time." I was pretty sure she was grinning."Mom," I whined. "That's not fair.""You chose to leave me this Christmas, whose fault is it?""Enjoy it while you can, Mom, because by next year February not December, I don't have such patience, you will make me my own roast turkey.""Over my roasted body."I gasped first before bursting into laughter, my mom laughing as well."Take care of yourself, honey.""Thank you, Mom, yo

EVELYN Despite calming Ian's down while he made calls, I was super nervous myself. It was my first time going to see his family. I've only spoken to his mom once on the phone and she sounded so nice. But it wasn't only his mom I was going to see, the rest of his family would be there as well. What will they think of me? "Is everything okay, babe?" Ian asked. He must have noticed my sudden quietness."Yes, I'm good." I zoomed out of my thoughts as I brought my eyes to his. "What's happening? How is she?""The doctor hasn't come out of her ward yet. She suffered from a fall down the stairs and fell unconscious," his brows were drawn together as he spoke. I've known him more than two months, this was the first time his voice sounded this way. "I'm scared, Eve. Wh...what if..." He whispered with his lips trembling."Hey," My hand left his to cup his cheek, my thumb caressing slowly. "It's okay to feel scared, I would be too. But she's in good hands now, let's hope for the best together.

EVELYN It has been one happy week with The Grays. I was super nervous when Killian told me we would be staying for a while with his family, but on spending time with them, I've never felt so comfortable around new faces.They weren't so judgy as I had thought or giving me those weird eyes. His mother automatically became my best person among his folks. Ahh, his Nana too, such a vibe. How could I forget his hot sister, Maria, still maintaining beauty while pregnant. Her husband should be one of the luckiest men alive. And Gia, Alex's wife, was an amazing person as well. Then his nephews, those lively little boys. Though they took Rio's attention from me, I still love them. And the cute little baby, Gia's baby boy, each time I carried him in my arms or by merely looking at him, I start craving for mine, more like having baby fever. His dad and brother were also really cool people. From the onset, I knew they wouldn't be a problem. It was the women who kind of bothered me, but I was w

KILLIAN "Have you told her yet?" Alex called to remind me of what we had earlier discussed. When I had mentioned to him that Eve would be leaving on the 15th, same day our contract was going to expire, he has been on my neck to use the L word. He was the next biggest supporter of Eve and I after my mom."I will, today." Unfailingly. I already got a whole speech in my head. After saying I love you to her, I would also ask her to be my real girlfriend this time.Today was 13th February, making it two more days till my contract with Eve comes to an end. "Good luck, brother.""Thank you." Eve steeped out of the bathroom with her bra and panties. I fixed my eyes on her as she walked to the closet."Can't believe Killian Grey has finally melted for someone. You seemed unmeltable, wanted to even get to number fifty. Now see, your number fifteen got your head, dick and heart." Alex chuckled. I was certain that he would keep taunting me with this until God knows when."I've heard you. You n
