A Contract with the Billionaire Ninety-six: Latest couple
Amelia was ecstatic that evening as she returned home from work. She couldn’t wait to share the good news with Ryan. It felt so good knowing she now had siblings. For the first time in her life, the feeling of being all alone has been eliminated. She was so glad that she and Lara had reconciled and her new siblings weren’t against her decision to not accept their father. They understood her feelings and she appreciated that.The moment Ryan stepped into the house, he noticed her radiant smile and it made him smile too. Smith had brought her home earlier because he was still in a meeting by the time she closed from work and he’d missed her dearly.“Hey baby,” he wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her neck.Amelia was in the kitchen, preparing dinner. She was so excited that she’d given Gretchen a day off and the woman had decided to spend it in the company of Dora. They’d both gone out for ice cream, leaving Amelia to be alone.“Hi,” Amelia responded cheerfully, as she stirred

The news of Lara and Benjamin’s sudden relationship was still trending heavily on the media and has gotten to Adeline, Benjamin’s mom. At first, when she’d come across it and the pictures of her son and Ryan’s rumored love interest, the daughter of the well-known Chinese billionaire, she’d thought it was mere rumor. But her doubts were cleared when she came across more pictures of her son and Lara, dining at different restaurants and acting like couples.Adeline was a bit disturbed, wondering what Benjamin was up to. The last time they’d spoken, he was actively working on his plans to take his rightful position in the affairs of the family from Ryan. What was he doing with Lara Zhang? A girl that was Ryan’s leftovers? Has Benjamin lost his mind?All of these questions bugged Adeline as she saw more photographs of her son and Lara trending on the news. She became so disturbed that she decided to call him, hoping he’d have a reasonable explanation for his actions and truly, she wasn’t

Amelia and Ryan’s wedding preparations have spun off after the family dinner where they revealed the date to the family. Everything had been moving fast since then and there were just two weeks left before the day. Amelia was giddy with nerves and excitement as she couldn’t wait to finally tie the knot with Ryan, the man of her dreams. Ryan had offered to hire a wedding planner to take care of the event, down to her wedding dress but she’d refused as she wanted to be the planner. She didn’t want anything extravagant and she knew a planner would do just that because Ryan would pay heavily for it and her opinions wouldn’t matter.It was the weekend and she was out with Sylvia, and Lara to buy her wedding dress from one of New York’s popular designers. Amelia had previously scheduled an appointment with the designer before arriving at the large store.As soon as she arrived with Sylvia and Lara, the woman, Mrs Gina Campbell, who had been discussing with one of her sales personnel immedia

Amelia walked into Audrey’s office with a bright smile on her face. It was just two days until her wedding day and she was so excited that she couldn’t keep her joy from her face. All preparations have been put together and all of her close friends have been invited. The wedding was going to be a ceremony of their close friends and relatives and whoever wishes to celebrate with her and Ryan but she wanted to send out special invites to the people that were dear to her. She’d successfully sent it to everyone, including James but he’d mentioned being very busy with planning his late father’s funeral and as the first son of his family, he wouldn’t be able to attend the wedding. He was also currently in London for that purpose and has apologized dearly to Amelia but she didn’t mind. At first, when she’d decided to send him an invite to her wedding, she didn’t know how he’d take it, considering they had been together before Ryan stumbled back into her life and forcefully claimed her. But

Amelia stared at her reflection in the mirror with a bright cheerful smile on her face. It was her wedding day and she was so excited that she could barely contain it. She was dressed in the wedding dress she’d choose and her make-up and hair were styled to perfection. Her veil had also been pinned to her hair but was kept at the back, from covering her face until it was time to leave. Her bridesmaids surrounded her, fawning over her and they couldn’t stop rambling about how beautiful and perfect she looked. Cookie was there, and so was Gretchen, Lara, Cora and Emmalin. Audrey was also there, but not as a bridesmaid but Amelia wanted her closeby and she was happy to be in the midst of her close friends and family.Cookie, who had been fixing her hair and makeup walked up to her and gently wrapped an arm around her waist, leaning in to kiss her cheeks softly.“I’m happy for you, sweetie. You’ll be Mrs. Davidson soon,” Cookie beamed at her and Amelia grinned from ear to ear, her eyes te

The collective gasps of the guests filled the large room, and Amelia’s heart broke to pieces as she stared at Selena who had a triumphant smile on her face, with her palms protectively resting on her rounded belly. Amelia glanced at Ryan, who was seething, his furious gaze directed at Selena.Selena glanced around, hearing the murmurs that had risen at her words. A smile was on her face because she was happy with how things were going and she saw that most of the people were giving Ryan and Amelia dirty glances. Of course, they’d believe her because she was his ex-wife and to make things better, none of them knew why they’d fallen apart except for his parents and his housekeeper, and also his secretary, Sylvia, who was also a very close family friend. But then, they wouldn’t be able to prove her wrong because she had the perfect evidence to keep them silent.“That’s a lie, my son would never have anything to do with this tramp!” Ryan’s mother, Li na said, rising to her feet and pointi

Amelia ran out of the church premises into the quiet street with tears in her eyes. Thankfully, the church was built in a quiet area, not near the busy streets of New York where everyone could see her. They’d also chosen this church to prevent unnecessary traffic and the presence of paparazzi that might want to film the ceremony and now, she couldn’t be more happier that they’d actually chosen it. Tears ran down her eyes as she continued running with her child in her arms. She wasn’t sure where she was headed but all she wanted was to get far away from the church and all of the people in it. But then, she heard the sound of a car heading towards her, and she increased her speed.With the weight of the child in her arms and the large skirt of her dress, it was hard to run fast but she tried her best, wishing that whoever it was wasn’t coming for her because she wasn’t sure she could look into any of their faces. But eventually, the car slowed down beside her.“Amelia, please let me hel

The entire Davidson’s family and Selena were all gathered at Clifford’s home, awaiting the arrival of the family doctor, Dr. Hansel. Ryan kept pacing, wishing he could go in search of Amelia while his parents dealt with Selena but he couldn’t do that. It was his mess and he had to clean it up. He wanted to know the truth before facing Amelia again. His heart was beating wildly, from fear of Selena’s words being true. He didn’t know what he’d do if she was truly pregnant for him but he wished it was one of her deceitful plans as usual to get him in her webs, and God help her if it was a lie because he’d truly strangle her to death this time around.“What’s taking him so long?” Li na asked, staring at her husband with worry but Clifford reached for her and circled his arms around her waist.“He’s on his way. We’ll know the truth soon. Breath,” he murmured, seeing how strung out she looked. Suddenly, they heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps followed before a younger man ap

A Contract with the Billionaire Epilogue: A new beginning?
Epilogue: A new beginning?Amelia stood at the entrance of the magnificent church building, dressed in her flowing wedding dress, with the transparent lacy material of her veil covering her face, and Liu holding onto her arm.Two months after her visit to his home, he got well and the preparations for her second wedding ceremony began. She’d asked him to walk her down the aisle and Liu had been honored.“Ready?” he asked, flashing her a loving smile and Amelia grinned in response.“Always,” Surprising her, he leaned in and gently brushed his lips to her temple.“I’m glad I made it to this day, and that you asked me to do this,”Tears welled up in her eyes, amidst her smile but she blinked them away. Deep down, she wished her mom was there too but it was all in the past now and she had a bright future ahead of her and intended to fully enjoy it without her past holding her back.“I’m glad too,” she breathed out in a barely audible voice but Liu headed in and he gently patted her back.
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and fifteen: One family
“Are you sure you’re ready to do this?” Ryan asked Amelia for the umpteenth time as they drove through the gates of Liu’s estate in Beijing.After the incident with Lara and Benjamin, and after Ryan settled with his family, Amelia thought it was finally time to hear her father out. She recalled the words Jian spoke to her when she’d run away from Ryan after Selena showed up to destroy their wedding and she decided to give Liu a chance to explain himself. But by the time she called to set up a meeting with him in Jian’s home, her stepbrother informed her that their father was very sick and couldn’t leave his home in Beijing where he was receiving intense care from one of the renowned medical practitioners in the world. Amelia felt terrible that he was ill and they still hadn’t settled their differences. Thus, she’d insisted on seeing him, if he was up for it and she also wanted to finally introduce him to Dora.“I’m ready,” she breathed out, smiling weakly at Ryan. As if he could under
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and fourteen: The rightful heir
It’s been two months since Ryan began the search for Alan Masters, yet no traces of him have been found. At a point, his family had given up on the search and had decided to move forward. With Benjamin in prison and Ryan out of the family, there was no one to run the family’s business and no one was ready to take over because they weren’t ready to start another feud that may end terribly. Left with no option, a meeting was held and Ryan and Amelia were invited. The sole aim of the meeting was to plead with Ryan to return to the family and take up his old position as the heir and the CEO of DCL Inc.At first, Ryan had flat out refused their offer because his new business was flourishing well and he had no intentions of still working for his family or even being the sole heir of the Davidson’s empire but after many pleas from the family and Amelia, who thought he should give them a second chance to right their wrongs, he finally made a decision.He informed them that he’d take up the af
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and thirteen: Confession
Jian pushed Lara into the living room, where Amelia and Ryan were waiting for her. He stopped beside one of the sofas directly opposite the one Amelia and Ryan were seated on and tried carrying Lara from the wheelchair, to sit on the sofa but she waved him off, offering him a little smile.“Are you sure?” he arched a brow at her and she nodded.“It’s fine,”Jian exhaled and left her, taking the sofa closest to her.It’s been two months since Benjamin was apprehended and in all of that time, Lara was slowly slipping out of her pills-induced state. Although her injuries hadn’t properly healed, she was now aware of the happenings around her and was often awake for a few hours, during which she could speak with people. After the incident with Benjamin, no one was allowed in the home, except Amelia, Ryan, and the doctor who treated her.The first time she’d woken up, she’d been confused, but after her head was clear of the haziness, she told Jian of her last conversation with Benjamin, whe

It was already evening by the time Benjamin returned to the hospital. He walked into the waiting room and was about to head to Lara’s room when the nurse at the counter called him.“Hello, Mr. Davidson,”Benjamin glanced at her, annoyance radiating off him but he managed to keep it hidden, schooling his features into a concerned expression.“Are you here to see Miss Zhang again?” the nurse inquired and he stepped towards her. “Sure,”“Oh well, she’s been moved. She’s no longer here,”Benjamin’s brows furrowed and he stared at her as though she’d just sprouted a second head. The nurse saw the confused expression etched on his face and went on to clarify her words to him.“After you left in the morning, her sister and brother came to move her away. I suggest you ask them about her new location,”Benjamin tensed, his jaw clenching hard. He nodded curtly.“Thank you,”He stormed out of the hospital, his annoyance doubling as he inwardly cursed at Amelia for destroying his plans. If it wa
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and eleven: Suspicion
Amelia was singing cheerfully, swaying her hips and trying to dance to the song she was singing as she prepared breakfast. The rays of the bright morning sun streamed into the kitchen, lighting up the entire place, considering it was still early. She was preparing Dora’s breakfast. She’d woken up early to prepare her breakfast and lunch and to also prepare her for school. After Ryan had healed, they’d quickly moved out of his Manhattan penthouse and had moved over to Brooklyn, away from his family, to start up their lives and his new business. It’s been two months and things were going well for them. For now, she was just a stay-at-home mom, but she’d never been happier, with her fiance and their child. They were living a simple life, with no family members swamping them or even calling for unnecessary meetings. She’d also heard of Benjamin’s immediate take over of the Davidson’s empire on the news and she was glad that Ryan wasn’t concerned. His new business venture was going well,
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and ten: Perfectly recovered
Ryan was still shocked and trying to wrap his head around what the maid, Mia, had revealed to them. By the time they got home, Dora was already fast asleep. Amelia took her to bed while Ryan retired to their bedroom to prepare for bed, but all he did was stand beside the floor-to-ceiling window of his bedroom, overlooking the city below as he replayed Mia’s words over and over again in his head.He was so lost in his head that he didn’t hear Amelia walk into the room until she wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her body hat tightly to his back.“Don’t be too hard on yourself,” she whispered, trailing one of her hands to his chest and patting him lightly. “We’re not sure if it’s true. It might just be a misunderstanding,”Ryan let out a deep breath.“What if it's true?”Amelia was quiet, not knowing what to say.“We’re no longer safe in their midst,”“What do you want to do?” her hands fell off him and he turned around, staring intently at her.“I think we need to leave this
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and nine: A fresh start
It’s been a week since Ryan was discharged from the hospital. He’d returned to his home with Amelia and Jian had stopped by to drop Dora off and to also say hello to Ryan. Some of his family members, even Lara, Benjamin, and Adeline had also stopped by to check on them. After that week of his recovery, he decided to call a family meeting to inform them of his plans. Just like he’d told Amelia at the hospital, he’d meant it and as soon as he was discharged, they’d been secretly making plans.It was the weekend and all of the Davidson family were gathered at Clifford’s home to hear Ryan out. He’d informed them that he had some important message to pass on to them. Benjamin and Adeline were also there, and so were Amelia and his daughter. Everyone wondered what he could possibly want to tell them, even his parents but only Amelia was aware of his plans.As soon as the meeting was ready to kick start, Adeline was the first to signify that she had something to say. Li na glared at her. Le
