All Chapters of Bad Contract with the Billionaire Devil: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Liam’s POV“Liam!”I turned toward the voice, my jaw tightened.“Perfect,” I muttered under my breath. “Just what I needed.”Evelyn stormed into the dining hall, her black dress clung like a second skin. The slit was high at the thigh and the neckline was cut low. Her blonde hair was a mess, mascara smudged at the edges. Her eyes were sharp like she was ready to kill.I frowned and calmly cut into my lamb, pretending she wasn’t there.She stopped at my side, her voice was sharp enough to slice glass. “Why the hell did you do that? You pushed up the movie and the show! I told them I wasn’t ready!”I kept eating.She slammed her palm on the table, rattling glasses. “Am I talking to a fvcking wall? Why are you ignoring me?”My family exchanged uneasy glances.“Evelyn, sweetheart, what’s wrong?” my mom asked gently. Her tone was worried.“I got a call from the producer and director,” Evelyn spat, her fists clenched. “Liam told them to move Starlight and Echoes forward. He and the investor

Evelyn’s POV“Ms. Vaughn? We’re here.”Ben’s voice jolted me from my spinning thoughts.I blinked and realized we had already pulled into the Vaughn estate. I hadn’t even noticed the drive, my head was still a storm of panic and rage.“Right,” I muttered, shoving the car door open.I stormed through the front doors without acknowledging the housekeepers who bowed their heads to greet me. My phone slipped from my hand and cracked against the marble. My purse followed; I flung it violently aside, toppling a vase that shattered across the floor. I didn’t care. My rage carried me up the staircase, my heels nearly slipped on the steps as I rushed up.“Evelyn!” my mom's sharp voice called across the hallway.She and my dad rushed toward me, both were in silk nightwear. Their faces were pale with worry.“What on earth is going on?” my mom added.I collapsed into their arms, sobbing, shaking so hard I could barely speak.“Mom, Dad,” I cried, burying my face in my mom's shoulder. “It’s Liam. T

I grabbed Avery's arm, shaking my head urgently. “Avery, please. Let it go. You know how he is. This isn’t the time.” Liam’s eyes locked on Avery, his voice dropped into a dangerous, ice-cold growl. “This is the last time you speak to me like that. Do it again, and you’ll regret it. It’ll be the last day you use that tongue.” Avery gasped and took a step back, her hand flying to her mouth. The nurses froze mid-movement, their eyes went wide. My heart hammered against my ribs, my hands trembling as I clutched the towel tighter around me. “Hurry the hell up,” Liam snapped, turning his glare on me. “I don’t have all day.” I swallowed, glancing at Avery and the nurses. My voice came out small. “Aren’t you leaving?” His mouth curved into a mocking half-smile. “What’s there to hide? I’ve seen it all before.” He dragged a chair across the tile with a long, scraping sound and sat down like he owned the room, one leg crossing over the other. “Get on with your damn jobs,” he barked at the

“What do I have to do?” I asked, turning back to Liam. My voice trembled with desperation. “What do I have to do for you to let Avery stay with me? Please… we can’t be apart again.”A small smirk tugged at his lips. His eyes were sharp with satisfaction. “Vincent,” he said smoothly, “hand me the contract.”Vincent passed a folder from the front seat. Liam released my wrist and set it in my lap, his touch on my thigh lingered just a second too long.“You already know the answer,” he said quietly. “Sign this, Olivia. Do that, and your friend can stay. You’ll see the twins. Hold them. Feed them. Everything you’ve been begging for.”My hands shook as I gripped the folder. It felt unbearably heavy against me. I glanced from the window to the phone with my babies’ pictures, then down at the crisp pages of the contract. The sight of it made my stomach turn.He offered me a pen, almost casually, as he took a slow sip of wine with his other hand. His eyes never left me.“Sign,” he coaxed, his

“Liam… did you just call me their nanny?” His eyes narrowed at me, but before he could speak, Rachelle lunged forward, reaching for my son. “Give me that baby!” she screamed. “You don’t belong here!” Both twins started wailing, their cries echoed through the nursery like sirens. “Stop this, Mom!” Liam barked, grabbing her arm and yanked her back. “Get out. Now. You’re upsetting them.” “We’re not going anywhere!” Arthur shouted, trying to shove past Liam. “What kind of madness is this, Liam? Making reckless decisions like this? You’ve lost your mind!” Ignoring their protests, Liam physically pushed them toward the door. “This is insane!” Rachelle shouted, clawing at the doorframe. “You’re going to ruin everything! Evelyn won’t stand for this!” The door slammed shut, and only the twins’ sobs filled the room. Avery crouched next to me, her eyes were wide, and her face were pale. “God, Liv… did I just hear that right?” she asked. “They said the babies are Evelyn’s? They’re calling
