All Chapters of Rebirth: Contract Marriage With Ex-fiance's Uncle: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 41EMMA POV Dad sighed with frustration, but I was even more frustrated. Being this anxious was frustrating for me.“What about the evidence? I mean what you told me the intruder left behind…” dad demanded with still little hope in his eyes, and my breath stopped.My fingers tightened at my sides, my heart pulsing in my ears as I watched the Gerald guy dip his hand into his pocket.I lowered my gaze, my eyes squeezed shut, the sound of rustling paper echoing in my ears.“Here, Sir," My eyes snapped open before I lifted my gaze. Dad was holding a small see-through plastic paper bag.My eyes flicked to the hairband in the bag, and I stiffened.For a moment, my eyes lingered on the hairband, part of me believing that my eyes were deceiving me, but they weren't.That hairband… It wasn't the one I wore that night. In short, I had never seen that in my entire life.I stood there, confused, many questions running through my mind. Did someone else break in here after me?While I was

Chapter 43 EMMA POV I watched as the attendant ransacked her bag before emptying everything on the floor. There was no money there. “What's going on?" The manager asked, and she looked at him with terror written all over her face. "It's the money you asked me to deposit in the bank, manager. I can't find it here,” Colors drained from his face. “What do you mean you can't find it?” "I definitely kept it in my bag, but I don't know what's going on. It was here up until a moment ago," her voice cracked shakily. She suddenly turned to look at us, but her eyes lingered longer on me, like she already suspected I was the culprit. Why is she looking at me like that? What's going on? “Are you sure it was in your bag?" The manager asked, and she nodded. "Yes, sir. I definitely kept it in my bag. I'm sure of it,” she said, tears welling up in her eyes. I glanced at Eleanor, perhaps she knew what was happening, but her face was blank. Blank enough to fool me, or to tell me that she kn

Chapter 45DANIEL POV Emma hasn't replied to my texts nor answered my calls. It's almost one week since the incident, and she's still not listening to me.This is unlike Emma. She would always come running into my arms after a fight once I got her a gift. I paced restlessly, rubbing my temple. I need to get her back as soon as possible. I need to prove to grandpa that I'm worthy of owning a part of Hart's holding.The door burst open, and dad barged in.I paused, my heart skipping a beat.He approached me fiercely, his eyes burning in rage.“How much more time do you want me to give you? Five years?" He snapped, halting in front of me.I trembled.“Da…dad… Please… I'm making progress. I promise, I'll be able to…" before I could finish speaking, a hard punch landed in my jaw.I staggered back before I balanced.“I have been hiding my face because of you, incompetent fool! I can't even hold my head straight at dinner with that old man because he keeps mentioning how much of a failure

Chapter 47EMMA POV “Are you really planning to marry Cole?" He asked for the second time, his eyes didn't leave mine.I stared at him quietly, then a smirk curled my lips. “What do you think?" He blinked, then huffed, running his fingers through his hair.“Chloe… You can't do this, alright? You can't do this to me. Think about everything we've been through—”"Oh, please, Daniel… We've been through nothing," I rolled my eyes angrily.“This is unfair, Emma. You've been treating me like a piece of shit when I don't even deserve this from you—”"For a man who wants to marry to inherit a share of his grandfather's property, I think you should tell me the kind of treatment you really deserve,”Colors drained from his face. "Huh?”I chuckled softly. "What? Did you think I'm dumb and wouldn't catch on?" His lips parted and trembled, but no words came out.I sighed and stood up. “Eleanor is still a Whitcomb… and fortunately for you, she would give anything to be married to you. Why not mak

Chapter 49 EMMA POV “Mr Cole? What's he doing here?" Chloe's faint voice echoed in my ear as my eyes fixed on Cole. He stood across the room in a perfectly tailored black tuxedo, a pale grey waistcoat that hugged his broad chest. The light caught the gold pin hanging on his tie, and somehow, that small detail made him look dangerously elegant. For a moment, I forgot how to breathe. Fucking hell! What's his business with being so damn hot? His gaze caught mine, before he started walking over to me. Chloe's nails dug into my dress as she hyperventilated. "He's staring at you… Oh, my God, Emma! He's coming to you,” I couldn't move. Couldn't look away. He paused in front of me, hands in his pockets, and eyes locked on me. My throat tightened. I opened my mouth, but no words came out. "I hope I'm not late…” he looked around briefly, then back to me. He didn't smile, but a small smirk played at the corner of his lips. “I… I thought you… I mean, you said you were busy. How come
