From Contract Lover To Billionaire Bride Part 2 Mga Nobela at Kwento

Because she knew what the world had just witnessed: A wedding without a kiss. A bride without a smile. A billionaire who refused to pretend. And Elena, trapped inside the role, realizing that even her humiliation was part of his design.

I finish. He raises a hand. “Okay, in the dark. But people meet in dark bars, back rooms, hotel lobbies to talk stocks, mergers, acquisitions. You’ve done it yourself a hundred times. What I’m saying is, your marriage was a contract. It ended. The problem you have now is—” “I love her,” I cut in, swallowing the stubborn lump in my throat. “I know, Stanton. I know.”

“Please read and sign this.” He took the file from her hands, staring at her while unrolling it slowly. As his eyes turned down and scanned the title on the front page, a dark chuckle escaped his lips. His gaze shot back to her, searching her face for any hint of sarcasm or mockery but she stood there calmly and completely serious. The title read: Contract Marriage “Are you kidding me?” Damien’s voice was low and dangerous as his anger simmered just below the surface. The mere sight of the words made him feel as if a fire had been lit inside him and ready to burn the entire world to the ground.

her voice trembled with remorse. “Stop with the apologies, Claire. Can we just go home and have lunch? The tension between us is killing me.” I nearly groaned with need. Her lips returned back to mine as she kissed me. She finally pulled away. Her lips were pink and slightly swollen from the contact with mine. “I was just about to say the same thing,” she smiled at me. “This contract will be the last contract I accept from Liah's father. You'll never have to see Liah again after this,” he said.

“That’s—cruel.” “It is practical,” he replied. “It is not cruelty to structure an agreement that benefits both parties. I’m not offering love. I’m offering a contract. One year. Public appearances as necessary. Fifty percent deposit paid immediately upon signing. The remainder managed through escrow.” She pushed the paper back toward him. “You can’t be serious.” Her voice rose, wounded and furious. “You want me to marry you like I’m some sort of—transaction.” “You asked for help,” he said, flat. “This is help of a kind that solves a problem for both of us.”

My hands were shaking as I clutched my phone. I had one missed call from Dr. Patel and a message from Oliver. Ollie: Did you get the money? I swallowed hard before answering. Me: Yes. The procedure is scheduled. His response was swift. Ollie: Val… What did you do? I stared at the screen, fingers ready to fly on the keyboard. How would I explain to him that I was married to a man who considered me nothing but a contract? Me: I did what I had to do.

The ceremony was a small one where only the most important people in our lives were invited. From that moment onwards, I felt trapped. I was bound to a ruthless Billionaire by a contract and by a child. On the night of our wedding, Dominic insisted that I slept in the same room with him. I knew that it was his own way of torturing me. As I laid on the king-sized bed with my back against him, I felt his arms pull me closer to himself. His hot breath lingered against my ear. "You stole from me Lena.." He slowly whispered. His voice dripped with malice. "Now I will make sure you spend the rest of your life paying for it.”

And I'd believed him. Patricia smiles as she sees the look of horror on my face,"Yes and that's because we stole it from your trashy TV show. I told him you'd fall hook, line and sinker for it. And you melted like snow in the sun, too easy. Don't act stupid as usual and just get out of here. " My sob got louder as I turned on my heel and walked away, leaving them behind in the lavish apartment. Their voices faded as I distanced myself from the heartache and betrayal.

But when I reached, the half opened door of the smaller hall, his voice kept me frozen. "I don't love her," Alessandro's voice cut through the air, cold and indifferent. "You're the one I have always wanted." Then Cassandra's voice came, cold and condescending. "You don't think I'm blind like Zara, right? That's so foolish not to see that her husband love her sister. You married her to get to me. You both are pathetic." Tears welled up in my eyes as I watched the man I had loved for two years, supported his every failed business deal, believed in him even when it was difficult betray me at every word.

Briana replied "I want to have a marriage contract with you" Briana was looking so helplessly . "I don't understand sir" Briana said "You know that my father asked me to get married in just one month and since Beatrice Has done her worst, I don't want to lose my father's property too. That's why I came up with a plan, since you are the one closer to me, I couldn't think of any other person. "Both you and I will pretend for 6 month that we are married and when I eventually take over my father's property, I would give you 40% of everything and go our separate ways"
