Semua Bab Contract Lover : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Third person Pov Nathaniel was fed up with Celine faking ignorance. They all knew he was not in the mood to play pretend, but she just wouldn’t listen, so he planned to rip the band-aid off.“Celine, if you don’t sign the papers, I’ll go to the police with the video of you hitting me and Cassia, and then I’ll go to HR to see what they’ll say about it,” he said to her.Celine looked at Nathaniel for a minute, trying to see if staring at him hard enough would change him back into the man she once knew and fell for. It didn’t work, so she took the document and read through it.“What?! Why does this say that I get nothing? The house, the cars— even the money in my personal account will be transferred to you? I don’t understand. What fuckery is this?!” Celine was outright screaming in shock at this point.“Ma’am, please reduce your voice or you all will be sent out,” a waiter came to caution Celine.After the waiter left, Nathaniel looked at Celine and laughed. “Oh, poor Celine. You don’t

Third Person POV (Flashback to a few days ago)Celine knew that what she was about to do was not ideal, but she had no choice. Calling her parents right now would be too embarrassing, and she definitely would not go and beg her now-ex-husband. So she picked up her terrible phone and dialed Christopher's number."Hello?" Christopher answered."Christopher, it's me, Celine," she replied."Celine?" He was shocked to get her call. "What happened?""Is your offer still on the table?" she asked, hoping the ground would open and swallow her because of how low she was going.Christopher couldn't believe his ears. He was almost losing his hair out of worry over what to do about his dad wanting him to get married and him not finding anyone suitable. But despite Celine rejecting him countless times, here she was, calling him about his offer. He hoped that she was actually calling about the marriage proposal."What offer?" he asked her to be sure."Must I spell it out? Let's get married," Celine

Third person Pov Christopher's dad, Richard, laughed at Celine’s sense of humour before he took a closer look at her and then at his son, Christopher. But before he could voice his opinion, Rebecca spoke up.“Who’s she?! The last time I checked, you didn’t even have a girlfriend, so how are you married? There’s even a tabloid magazine picture from a month ago of you being in a club with a random girl, so who the hell is she?!” Rebecca forgot her calm-girl demeanour and shouted at the top of her lungs, causing Richard to shake his head in disappointment at her barbaric behaviour.“Rebecca, can you stop shouting and questioning my wife? Speak to me instead.” Christopher slipped into his role as a protective husband as he held Celine to his side, and she played her part perfectly by resting against him. “We just got married, and she’s the woman I love,” he confessed boldly, even making Celine shocked as she raised her head to look at him. Christopher, who felt her stare, looked down at

Third person Pov"You both should excuse me. I need to get to the bottom of this. My maid will escort you out," Mary said to Julie and Rebecca.They both left with their hearts in their hands, hoping the situation would be resolved in their favour.Immediately they left, Mary called her husband."Yes, honey?" Richard replied in a tone that made it clear he knew why she was calling."Where's your son?" she asked angrily."My son? I left them at the company," Richard replied as he got into the back seat of his car with a smile on his face."Them? So you're acknowledging that you met that woman?" Mary said angrily over the phone."Love, Christopher is not a little boy anymore, and since he has already made his choice, I don't see why we shouldn't accept it," Richard replied."Don't ‘love’ me! You know I already promised Julie that her daughter will get married to our son. And I am not going to accept anything else!" she said sternly."We have no choice. As his parents, we're meant to sup

Third Person PovCeline was in her room, thinking about what transpired yesterday. She just couldn’t get the disappointed and betrayed look of Richard off her mind. Because she’s a workaholic, getting approval from the owner of the company meant more to her than she lets on, and what made it worse was that Richard reminded her of her dad.She woke up knowing that not only did her new mother-in-law hate her guts, but the father-in-law she thought had accepted her—if only for a few minutes—was now dissatisfied. Celine did not want to leave her bed, as she was depressed in her thoughts. Even with the sun shining through her window and into her room, nothing moved her.“What are we having today?” Christopher asked the butler as he walked downstairs. The smell of breakfast had woken him up, making his stomach rumble with hunger.He walked into the dining room to see that everything was already prepared for him and Celine. He took a bite of the bacon, and he couldn’t help but hum in appreci
