Lahat ng Kabanata ng MARRIED TO THE CEO BY CONTRACT: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 122

Morning arrived without urgency.For the first time in weeks, there were no emergency alerts.No regulatory escalations.No strategic briefings waiting to be dissected.The city moved as it always did: cars threading through streets, people stepping into offices, and deals being made quietly behind glass walls.But inside De Luca Holdings, something fundamental had shifted.Not in the system.In the people.Elara stood in her office, sunlight stretching across the polished floor.The skyline looked the same.But she didn’t feel the same.For months, every step she had taken inside this world had been calculated.Measured.Controlled.She had entered into a contract.A name on paper.A solution to a problem.But somewhere along the wayShe had become something else.Not absorbed.Not reshaped.But equal.Her phone rested on the desk beside her.No urgent messages.No crisis.Just quiet.A rare kind of silence that didn’t feel like the absence of somethingBut the presence of stability.
