All Chapters of Contractually Yours: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Jem's POV Dante didn’t respond. He just continued to stare at me… as if he was waiting for me to say something else.Then he scoffed lightly and slid his phone onto the table beside him.“Hurt your mom?” he repeated with a soft laugh. “Come on… I have a mother too. Why would I hurt yours?”He paused, then added calmly, “Actually, your mother has been moved to St. Aurelius Advanced Medical Center—one of the most elite and fully equipped hospitals in the world. She’s currently under my care. My men are watching over her, and her surgery has already been arranged.”My breath hitched. I thought I hadn’t heard him right. Did he just say my mother has been transferred to Aurelius Advanced Medical Centre?That hospital… one of the most elite and highly advanced medical centres in the world. According to reports, not everyone gets the chance to have their patient admitted there. It takes serious connections just to get in. And even after that, the cost is so high that only the extremely rich

Jem's POV Then suddenly, he jerked back on his own, as if something had pierced through him from the inside. He pulled away instantly.My fingers shot to my lips immediately, trembling as I stared at him in confusion, fear, and complete disbelief.“What… what was that…?” I whispered shakily.“Fuck…” Dante muttered under his breath, his eyes fixed on me. “It’s your first time.” he groaned.I couldn’t respond. I just stood there, completely frozen, my mind blank, and my chest rising and falling too fast.Dante looked at me for a moment longer, then his expression hardened again.“You should leave,” he said coldly.I still couldn’t move. I was still touching my lips, like I was trying to confirm it actually happened.It was at this point that Dante suddenly stepped closer again. I flinched instantly but he didn't stop. He reached out and picked up the shirt I had dropped and, without saying a word, began to help me put it on.Something inside me snapped back to reality.I jerked away sh

Mara's POV Since the party took place in this house last night, I was sure the Seal was still somewhere here.And since Dante had already confirmed the Seal and was ready to hand it over to me, then it had to be in this house—somewhere in this room. All I had to do was find it, take it, and once it was in my hands, everything would be mine.No one would be able to take it from me. Not even Dante himself… or his new favorite, Jem.I opened the first drawer and searched it quickly, but there was nothing there. I didn’t waste time before moving to the second, but it was the still the same , there was nothing there. Then I moved to the third, then the fourth, and that was how I kept moving from one drawer to another.My movements became faster and more aggressive as I searched through everything—files, cabinets, shelves.As if I still wasn’t satisfied, I even checked places I knew he could never have dropped the Seal, then places where I thought he might have probably kept it safe—but st

Dante's POV Mara slumped down and broke into another wave of uncontrollable sobs, her body shaking violently with each breath.Despite all her crying and kneeling, I didn’t feel even a hint of sympathy for her. None of it moved me.All I could see… was him—Jem, lying in a pool of blood, the image flashing before my eyes like a vision.I didn’t know if what I had seen was real or not. But I was certain of one thing—Jem was in pain. He was in trouble.The image wouldn’t leave my head. No matter how hard I tried to push it away, it stayed there—burning, repeating, suffocating, until it was the only thing I could see.I stepped closer without even realizing it, my body already moving before my thoughts could catch up.“Where is he?” I demanded, my voice sharp, but unsteady beneath it. “Where is he right now?”Mara suddenly broke into a series of harsh coughs, her body trembling as she struggled to respond. She tried to speak, I could see it—but all that came out were broken gasps, her br

Dante's POV I let out a slow breath and finally began to explain everything to my mom.She didn’t interrupt me. She just sat there quietly, listening. Even though I wasn’t used to sharing my personal matters with anyone, something about this felt different… urgent. I just thought it was better to tell her what I had been feeling lately—just in case this wasn’t normal, just in case something was actually wrong with me aside from the looming death.At first, the words felt heavy in my mouth, like I didn’t even know where to start. But once I did, everything began to spill out, almost like it had already been scripted and I was simply reading it aloud.I told her about the strange things I had been experiencing… the sudden flashes that came out of nowhere, like visions I couldn’t control. I explained one in particular—the one that changed everything.I had been sitting in the car while Shark drove us to a meeting where I was supposed to sign a contract. Everything had been normal… unti
