All Chapters of The Billionaire's Contract Bride: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Sarah's POVNo one moved.Anna sat with perfect composure, her legs crossed elegantly, her expression calm enough to make me uneasy. Gone was the angry woman who had stormed into our lives before. Today, she looked confident, almost certain of herself.Beside her sat a middle-aged man dressed in a tailored suit. His briefcase rested neatly on the coffee table, and his hands were folded calmly over it. Unlike Anna, he showed no emotion at all.Adrian stepped in front of me almost instinctively. "What is this?" he asked, his voice controlled.Anna looked at him with a faint smile. "I told you already. I'm not here to argue. I'm here because there are matters that should have been settled a long time ago."Eleanor folded her arms. "If you've come to cause another scene, you've chosen the wrong place."Anna didn't even look at her. "I'm not interested in creating a scene." She nodded toward the lawyer. "My lawyer will explain."The man stood. "Good evening. My name is Michael Carter.bI re

Sarah's POVThe house was unusually quiet the next morning.Sunlight poured through the tall windows of our bedroom, warming the floor beneath my feet, but it did little to ease the restlessness that had settled inside me. I sighed softly as I walked over to the window.The gardens looked as beautiful as ever. Gardeners moved carefully between rows of roses while the fountain sparkled beneath the morning sun. The bedroom door opened quietly.Adrian stepped inside, already dressed in a suit, his tie hanging loosely around his neck. He looked handsome as always, but the exhaustion beneath his eyes was becoming harder to ignore. "You've been awake for a while," he said with a tired smile."I couldn't sleep."He crossed the room and gently kissed my forehead. "I'm sorry.""You don't have to apologize.""I do." He let out a quiet breath as he adjusted his tie. "I'll probably be home late again."I nodded. "The investigation? And the board."He rubbed the back of his neck. "The company's

Sarah's POVThe following morning, I woke before sunrise.For a few quiet moments, I simply lay in bed, staring at the ceiling while the first rays of light slipped through the curtains. Sleep had become increasingly difficult these past few weeks. Every answer seemed to uncover another question, and every day brought a new challenge for Adrian and the company.I turned my head toward the empty side of the bed. This time, however, it wasn't empty. Adrian was still asleep, and I smiled to myself.It had been days since he'd managed to stay home long enough to sleep past dawn. His face looked more peaceful than it had in weeks, and for the first time in what felt like forever, the deep lines of worry on his forehead had softened.Carefully, I slipped out of bed without waking him. Downstairs, the mansion was beginning to come alive.The house staff quietly prepared breakfast while sunlight filled the grand dining room. Everything looked exactly as it always had, yet I couldn't shake the

Sarah's POVThe sound of tires crunching over the gravel driveway echoed through the evening silence.I stood beside Adrian in his study, both of us looking toward the tall windows as a black sedan came to a stop in front of the mansion. Neither of us spoke. Ever since Daniel Hayes had called to say he was coming over, an uneasy silence had settled between us.Adrian was the first to move. "He must be here."He walked out of the study, and I followed close behind. A butler had already opened the front door by the time we reached the foyer. Daniel stepped inside, carrying a slim leather briefcase. His expression was calm as always, but there was a seriousness in his eyes that immediately told me this wasn't an ordinary visit."Good evening, Mr. Moretti. Mrs. Moretti.""Thank you for coming," Adrian replied, shaking his hand."I'm sorry to intrude at this hour.""Not at all."Daniel glanced briefly around the entrance hall before speaking again. "I thought it would be better to discuss

Sarah's POVI had never seen Adrian drive like that before.The silence inside the car was suffocating, broken only by the steady hum of the engine and the rain tapping against the windshield. His jaw was clenched so tightly that I wondered if it hurt. His hands gripped the steering wheel with enough force to turn his knuckles white.The sealed folder containing the records lay on the back seat. Neither of us had touched it since leaving the Moretti Group.The truth Daniel Hayes had uncovered was already heavy enough.By the time the car pulled through the gates of the Moretti mansion, I knew nothing would ever be the same again.The moment Adrian stopped the car, he stepped out without waiting for me."Adrian..."He didn't answer.He walked straight through the front door. The staff immediately noticed the expression on his face.No one dared to speak.The butler opened his mouth to greet him before quickly falling silent."Where is she?" Adrian asked.The butler hesitated. "Mrs. Mor
