All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Contract Wife Can't Let Go: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Dana POV: Divorced, CrushedI grip Alex's hand tighter as we step into the posh hallway of Kelly Stanton's law firm, the marble floors echoing our footsteps like a countdown. My heart pounds, a wild drum in my chest, because today is the day I finally tell him. When he told me we were coming to see Kelly, I knew our contract marriage was about to end. Two weeks ago, we weren't supposed to cross that line—our contract marriage was clear: no intimacy, no complications. But we did, tangled in sheets and whispers in his penthouse, and it shattered me in the best way. I loved every second, loved him, because somewhere in these two years of pretending, Alex made me feel safe, and cherished, like no man ever has. His quiet strength, the way he looks at me like I'm the only thing that matters in his billion-dollar world, it's undone me. I'm in love with him, deeply, terrifyingly, and I can't hold it in anymore. "Alex," I say, pulling him to a stop just outside Kelly's office door. My heart

Dana POV: Dana Leaves I stare up at the towering glass facade of the penthouse, the place that's been my home, our home, for two years. The document I just signed says: immediate eviction. No grace period, no second chances. My hands tremble as I clutch the strap of my handbag. I try to catch my breath, to swallow the sobs clawing up my throat, but the ache in my chest is a living thing that keeps twisting and tearing through me. But I must stop crying. I have to be strong. But how? How do I walk away from everything?The elevator doors slide open with a soft ding, and I step inside, pressing the button for the top floor. As the car ascends, the weight of it all crashes down on me and my knees buckle. I collapse against the mirrored wall, sliding to the floor. Sobs rack my body, ugly and uncontrolled. I should never have fallen in love with Alex. I should have kept my guard up, resisted the pull of his touch, his whispered promises in the dark. But I couldn't help it anymore. After m

Dana POV: Her Family Now KnowsMy heart begins to beat fast as my family’s house shows up in the distance. The white columns and manicured lawns, looking exactly the same as the day I left. Derek glances at me. “Are you okay?” he asks. I nod and give him a small reassuring smile. I lean forward, squinting at the house and my mouth suddenly goes dry at the sight of the two men standing on the porch. Jack and Eddy, my other two brothers. “Derek, you told them?" Derek sees them too. “What am I supposed to do, Dana? You know how they are. They'll kill me if I didn’t." Fair enough. I brace myself as I get out of the car, trying to ignore the probing stare of my two younger brothers, but it's hard. They heard I was coming back and came running home, and each one looks ready to collect his pound of flesh.Jack, a serving US marine, gives me a shot of his piercing gray eyes. Eddy is standing beside him, leaner, a police with the NYPD gives me the evil eye.These two were younger than me

Alex POV: Strange Cop Arrests Him For a second, I expect to see Dana in the bedroom when I come out of the bathroom, curled on the bed in one of my shirts, smirking and winking, ready to share a new idea that’s just popped into that red head.But it’s Jodie McGuire instead. She’s half-naked in black satin that clings on slight shoulders and an athletic body, her legs crossed, texting on her phone. she’s always texting, scrolling on Instagram, or browsing clothes, checking out restaurants. Last night I discover how much she loves babies and that unsettles me a little.I’m not thinking that far yet.“Alex, what is it?” she says, looking at me.I duck back into the bathroom before she can see my face properly. I was staring and didn’t realize it. “Nothing. I’m alright.”I’m not alright.I just walked out expecting Dana’s laugh, her voice teasing me about taking too long, and instead there’s Jodie, with a different perfume, different everything. I brace my hands on the marble sink and st

Dana POV: Her Brothers And Alex Are on The TV. I ran after Jack and Eddy, shouting their names until my throat turned hoarse, but they were already in the car, peeling out of the driveway before I can stop them. Mom got angry and stormed out after me, shrieking, her voice cracking with fury. “You’ve disgraced me, Dana!” she cried. “Among my friends at the club, in the whole neighborhood—how am I supposed to show my face?” She grabbed my arm, her nails digging into my skin. Dad wheeled himself out of his study, his face pale, his voice weak. “Enough, Ally,” she snaps weakly. "Let her be.” But it didn’t matter, my mom stumbles back inside, weeping while I look on miserably. Derek called Jack and Eddie on the phone but they yelled in his ear, telling him he ought to be ashamed of himself for being a sissy. "Where are they going?” I asked him. Derek said, "I don't want to know.”Now I’m in Dad’s study, the room dim and smelling faintly of old books and medicine. The nurse sedated h
