A Contract with the Billionaire Forty: Friendly Date
Amelia sat on the bed, all dressed up in a casual outfit of jeans and a corset top with her feet adorned in heeled slippers. Her hair was slicked back into a low ponytail with a neat middle part, and her makeup was done with soft pastel colors. She stared at her phone screen, reading the simple message James had sent her repeatedly. It read, Meet me at De Prime. Although she was all set to leave, she still couldn’t help second-guessing her decision to see him for the first time after their sad breakup. She hadn’t been expecting his call the previous day when he’d asked to meet. She thought James would hate her guts after the way she’d left him and had thrown his feelings at his face but as usual, the lovely man still wanted to be friends with her. But she can’t help wondering if she’d be able to stand his presence knowing she’d been the one to hurt him. The more she stared at the text, the more she questioned herself, her anxiety and nervousness peaking. While still staring at the t
A Contract with the Billionaire Forty-one: Staking his claim
Amelia stared at Ryan, blinking rapidly because at that moment, her brain decided to go off and she was short of words.Slowly, she pushed the door closed and pressed against it, lowering her gaze from the man because, with the intensity at which he was glaring at her, she could have been dead if only he could shoot lasers from his eyes. Her heart was beating rapidly, while she cooked up an answer to his question.Ryan took a few steps towards her and her eyes instantly snapped up to meet his, her erratically beating heart speeding up some more.“Answer me, Amelia. Where. Have. You. Been?”“I… I was out with a friend,” she instantly responded without second thoughts but the moment the words left her lips, she realized her mistake.She had no friends in New York except Cookie who had returned to school and Ryan knew that.“Mmm…” he growled, covering the distance between them, his lips curling in a smirk. “And who is this friend that I don’t know of?” he asked, staring down at her.Alth
A Contract with the Billionaire Forty-two: Staking his claim 2
Amelia remained quiet thereafter as he went to work, scrubbing her entire body clean until he was satisfied. He rinsed off the soap with the cold water before turning off the shower. Afterward, he wrapped one of the fluffy white towels hanging on the towel rack around her and dried her up. But it wasn’t enough. Amelia was so cold at this point that her entire being was trembling and her teeth were clattering badly. Guilt struck Ryan, seeing how much she was shivering that he feared she might catch a cold. Hastily, he carried her out of the bathroom into the bedroom, where he turned on the heater to warm her up. He wrapped his arms tightly around her body which was now covered in a robe while he remained naked. He still hadn’t forgiven her for hanging out with her ex-boyfriend, but her punishment could come later. And again, he had to make sure she was fine to take whatever he’d ditch out to her.For the next few minutes, they remained in that position with Amelia pressed against him,
A Contract with the Billionaire Forty-three: Staking his claim 3
“Pl-please let me…” Amelia whimpered, writhing and bucking underneath Ryan but he paid no mind to her pleas as he kept on feasting on her and holding her in place with one arm pressed against her lower stomach while stroking his cock with his free hand.After a few more strokes of her cit with his tongue, he slid it lower to her entrance and dipped it in, tasting her juices and lapping at her sweet nectar, driving Amelia to the brink of her orgasm but at the last minute he pulled away and crawled up her body.She was panting heavily, her tanned skin covered by a sheen of sweat and her flushed, her eyes hazy with dilated pupils. Her body was buzzing uncontrollably, needing to orgasm again but Ryan wasn’t about to let her go off a second time without being inside her.He stared into her lust-dazed eyes while one of his hands caressed her body, toying with her hard nipples and pinching the hard buds. Amelia was back to squirming and letting out small whimpers and pleas but he successfull
A Contract with the Billionaire Forty-four: Breakfast
The bright light of day streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows filled the room, accompanied by rays of sunlight that fell into Amelia’s eyes the moment she opened them for the first time that morning.She stretched her limbs on the king-sized bed, letting out a deep sigh of contentment. She tried to recall what day it was and just like that, the memories of the previous day, consisting of her friendly date with James and Ryan’s punishment flooded her head. Immediately, she shot up to a sitting position, her eyes widening in horror as realization dawned on her.She’d told Ryan she was his.Panic hit her, recalling how hard he’d strung her body until she had no option but to say the words. In the midst of her perturbation, she felt a thrill run down her body making her legs press together and once again reminding her of how deliciously sore she was. Her lower stomach curled in pleasure and she bit down hard on her bottom lip to stop a moan from escaping her lips.How was she eve
A Contract with the Billionaire Forty-five: Bossy Boss
Amelia was able to keep her anger at bay until they got into the elevator and she moved away from him but just as she was about to reopen the topic and scold him, Sylvia who had just resumed work joined them, smiling brightly and cheerfully and Ryan took that moment of distraction to pull Amelia against him with her back pressed to his chest. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed a kiss to her neck, not minding his secretary’s presence.Amelia blushed, mortified at his attitude but Sylvia didn’t mind the show of affection.“I must have disrupted something,” she wiggled her brows at Amelia who tried to object but Ryan spoke first.“Nothing much. You just saved my head,”“Ohh…tell me about it,”“She wants to leave my home and I said no,”“You threatened me.” Amelia chimed in, enunciating her words and struggling to pull away from his iron hold.“Mmm…it’s still the same as refusing,”Amelia shook her head, gritting her teeth. The man was simply impossible and she wasn’t going
A Contract with the Billionaire Forty-six: Family Friend
Amelia was dressed in a little black dress and seven inches heels, standing before the full-length mirror in the bedroom with a frown on her face. Much to her disapproval, Ryan had made her dress up for the fundraiser. Just to try and hide her appearance from the watchful eyes of the paparazzi, she’d let down her long hair, styling it to fall down the sides of her face to her shoulders and down her back.Ryan, impeccably dressed in a tuxedo, came up behind her, circling her waist with his arms and pushing some of her hair out of his way to expose her shoulders to him. Leaning down, he pressed his lips firmly to her soft spot, biting down on it until she let out a squeal.“Relax, Princess. You’ll be alright,”“It’s easy for you to say when you won’t be the prey of the gossip-hungry paparazzi,” she spat out in irritation.Ryan heaved a distressful sigh. He’d gone over this with her for the entire week but she still wouldn’t let it go. He needed his assistant by his side and he’d be damn
A Contract with the Billionaire Fifty-seven: Jealousy
“No one important,” came Ryan’s response.Amelia’s gaze darkened, her eyebrows pinching together. She couldn’t believe Ryan would open his mouth to say such after the display the woman had just given.“Really?” she flung her arm from his hold, glaring at him.His jaw clenched.“Yes.”Amelia nodded slowly, taking a step away from him. She had the mind to walk out on him but a glance around showed her that there were more than a few eyes on them. She wasn’t even surprised. The way the woman had acted with Ryan, despite her presence, was enough to raise brows and attract attention. But she was also wise enough to know that walking out on him at this moment will raise more gossip and they’d end up being the talk of the evening and she wasn’t ready for that.Luckily for her, a man walked into the stage, stealing everyone’s attention as he informed them that the event was about to begin and they could take their seats. Swallowing down her anger, she let Ryan hold her and lead her towards th

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
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and twelve: Suspicion 2
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
