Todos os capítulos de His Contract Bride: Capítulo 11 - Capítulo 20

Throughout the ride, Ava spent it crying, which Erickson didn't understand. She didn't cry out in a disturbing way. She just cried silently.Had he hurt her in any way? For God's sake, even if it was a contract marriage, he married her legally, and per agreement, they could have sexual interactions to have a baby. He didn't understand why she was a handful of emotions. One minute she was smiling, the next minute she was sad, the next minute she was crying. It was obvious she was clearly messing with him.But seeing her sniffle and wipe those seductive eyes, he couldn't bear to let her keep crying. So he called out to her in a gentle voice. "Ava."She just looked at him and didn't say a word, which was one of the things he found most pissing about her. Seeing the hickey marks on her neck, he felt a dark spark in him. He wanted to kiss her again. He never found a way to say it, but he didn't just marry Ava as his contract bride. She was, in fact, his first love. His relationship with Ka

After the kiss, Ava blushed. He was too romantic for the man the media described as cold and ruthless. As she thought this, Erickson wrapped his hands around her waist. Who knew the one he'd loved for the past eight years would suddenly become his wife? He kissed her again, then hugged her.Erickson wasn't good at expressing his emotions and often used actions instead of words. Ava could still sense he was hurting. After much consideration, she spoke up."I understand how you feel. I felt the same way when I heard of my mum's death. Just know she'd be so proud of who you've become."Erickson didn't reply. She knew he was shedding tears and didn't want her to see him cry. What he cared about most was his image in Ava's eyes, and he didn't want her to see him as weak.She rubbed his back. "Just try to find your father. At least learn his whereabouts — and why he abandoned your mum back then."Pulling himself together, Erickson said, "I understand, Ava. You are such a sweetheart," pullin

UNDERGROUND CLUBRichard was smoking in the underground club as he signed the ownership document for the last project. He continued smoking as the representative of the foreign company he had sold the refinery to left the room. He puffed on his cigarette again, then turned to his assistant and asked, "What about our ally? Did she make it back?""No, she put an end to it," the assistant replied."Oh," Richard said, lost in thought. He was getting too close to being exposed, but luckily she had ended her life. If she hadn't, he would have tortured her to death, since a simple task had proved too difficult for her to finish.A dark spark flashed in his eyes. Even his assistant shivered in fear. If not for the good pay, there was no way he would work for this devil who wore Prada."Make an arrangement. The current hostages should be moved. Move them to Dark City."His assistant shivered again and didn't argue. He moved swiftly to carry out the order. Dark City was one of the poorest areas

Erickson's knees were aching. He found it annoying that he was going to be in this state for months."Be on alert. And how about the investigation I asked you to make? What are your results?"His assistant was speechless. Did his boss think he was a robot? This past few days he had to cover office work, check on Old Man Blackwood who got discharged, and carry on the investigation he asked before his accident—he asked him to investigate the real track of his father's death. But the real fact he couldn't tell his boss was that he just hit a dead end. His father doesn't exist, which didn't make sense telling Erickson."Apologies, boss. I'm on the investigation.""Seems you are getting too comfortable."His heart skipped a bit. His boss shouldn't dock his pay because he was planning to get married this year."Just get out."As his assistant opened the door, Ava walked into the room. His assistant nodded. "Mrs. Blackwood."Ava nodded and ran into the ward. She hugged Erickson, who didn't c

After vomiting, Ava sighed in frustration. A realization struck her. She hadn't seen her period this month. Was it late? Or was it what she was thinking? Was she pregnant?She could be, because of all the sex she had with Erickson. She hadn't used protection. Remembering early days, she cursed that rogue with the possibility of pregnancy.She felt happy. This was one of Erickson's wishes. She decided she would get a pregnancy test tomorrow after coming back from Old Blackwood's house. Then she picked up the recorder Liam had given her and put it in the handbag she was going to carry tomorrow. She decided to take a nap. Erickson was in the study with Wes, so when she woke up, it would be dinner time and they could have dinner together.---ERICKSON'S STUDYWes brought out the documents he had printed from the investigation he was asked to make and handed them over to Erickson.After going through the file, Erickson smashed the glass of water on the floor. He wanted to stand up, but cou
