Bound by Contract: Healed by Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

The sun had barely begun to creep through the curtains when Ammie slipped out from under Adrian’s arm. She moved like a ghost, grabbing her robe and ghosting out of the room before the warmth of the bed could tempt her back.She didn't stop until she was locked in the downstairs bathroom, her heart hammering a frantic rhythm against her ribs. She fumbled for her phone and hit the speed dial for Blue.Blue picked up on the second ring, her voice raspy. "Ammie? It’s six in the morning. Is the house on fire?""I did it," Ammie whispered, her eyes wide in the mirror. "Blue, I crossed the line. I destroyed the line. The line is a pile of ash."There was a long, stunned silence on the other end. Then, a loud thud—Blue likely sitting bolt upright in bed."What the fuck?" Blue’s voice was a frantic hiss. "Ammie! You did it? With the 'Contract King'? With Adrian?""Yes," Ammie breathed, leaning her forehead against the cool glass of the mirror. "It just... it happened. In the kitchen, then the

The tension in St. Mary’s Specialist Hospital felt suffocating.Ammie sat at the edge of the hallway, her fingers trembling, her eyes fixed on the doctor’s office door. Nothing else existed for her in that moment except one thing—Adrian.A few steps away, Mrs. Knight paced restlessly, her face pale, her emotions barely contained. Bianca stood beside her, quiet, observant, waiting.Then the door opened.“Mrs. Knight?” the doctor called.Adrian’s mother rushed forward immediately. “Yes, I’m his mother.”The doctor nodded. “I need to speak with Mr. Adrian Knight’s wife.”Ammie stood up instantly.But Bianca moved faster.“I’m his wife,” she said calmly.Ammie froze.Her heart dropped.She turned to Adrian’s mother, waiting—hoping she would correct it.But the woman said nothing.That silence… broke something inside her.“Please come in,” the doctor said.Bianca walked in.---Inside the office, the doctor spoke carefully.“We did everything we could, but the impact caused damage to a par

Ammie didn’t remember how long she sat outside the hospital.Time had stopped meaning anything.The noise around her faded into nothing, her thoughts louder than everything else combined. Adrian’s face… his voice… his words from just that morning—they kept replaying, clashing painfully with the reality she had just been forced to accept.He didn’t remember her.And worse—She had been erased.Not just from his memory… but from his life.Slowly, she stood up.Her legs felt weak, like they didn’t belong to her, but she forced herself to move. There was only one place left she needed to go.Adrian’s house.No—Not Adrian’s house anymore.Just… a place she once stayed.When she got there, the gate felt unfamiliar.Like it no longer recognized her.She hesitated for a moment before pushing it open and walking inside. The compound was quiet, almost too quiet, like nothing had ever happened there.Like she had never existed there.She stepped into the house slowly.Everything looked the same

Ammie didn’t move for a long time.She just stood there in the restroom, staring at her reflection like the answer might appear on her face.“…No,” she whispered again, shaking her head slightly. “It can’t be…”But her body said otherwise.The tiredness.The dizziness.The way she had been feeling for days.Her hand slowly rested on her stomach.Her breathing became uneven.“Pregnant…?” she murmured.A soft knock came on the door.“Ammie?” Blue’s voice followed, filled with concern. “Are you okay?”Ammie didn’t answer immediately.Her mind was spinning too fast.“Ammie, open the door.”Slowly, she walked toward it and unlocked it.The moment Blue saw her face—She knew something was wrong.“What happened?” Blue asked quickly, stepping inside.Ammie looked at her.Her lips parted slightly.“I think…” she started, her voice trembling. “I think I’m pregnant.”Silence.Blue blinked.“What?”Ammie swallowed. “I don’t know for sure… but everything is pointing to it.”Blue’s eyes widened, bu

Ammie didn’t sleep.Not even for a minute.Every time her eyes closed, her body jerked awake again—her mind dragging her back to that moment. The grip. The voice. The fear that had wrapped around her chest so tightly she could barely breathe.She sat on the bed, knees drawn close, staring into nothing.Her fingers trembled slightly as she rubbed her palms together.“…He was going to hurt me,” she whispered.Across the room, Blue watched her carefully. She hadn’t slept either.“I know,” Blue said quietly, sitting up. “That’s why you can’t ignore this.”Ammie shook her head slowly, like she was trying to push the memory away.“But why me?” she asked, her voice breaking. “What did I do?”Blue didn’t answer immediately.Because they both knew.Bianca.That name didn’t need to be said out loud.Blue stood and walked over, sitting beside her.“This isn’t random,” she said firmly. “You’re in danger.”Ammie’s hand slowly moved to her stomach again.Instinct.Fear.Protection.“I can’t lose th
