CONTRACT MARRIAGE Chapter 42
The mastermind put up a good fight, but in the end, Ethan landed a decisive blow, sending the man sprawling to the ground.Emily rushed forward, grabbing the mastermind's phone from his pocket."We have everything we need," she said, triumphantly.Ethan let out a sigh of relief. It was finally over.As they made their way out of the hideout, Emily's phone rang.She answered it, her face paling as she listened."What is it?" Ethan asked, concern in his voice."It's my father," she said. "He's been taken. They're holding him hostage."Ethan's heart sank. They had won the battle, but it seemed that they were still at war."We have to save him," he said, determination in his voice.They rushed to Emily's father's last known location, guns drawn and hearts racing.As they approached the building, they could hear the sound of raised voices and the unmistakable sound of a struggle.They burst through the door, ready for anything.Emily's father was tied up in the corner of the room, his face

Emily spent the next few days trying to come up with a plan. She couldn't ask Ethan for help, as she didn't want to endanger him.Finally, she came up with an idea. She would pretend to be a jewelry appraiser and offer to evaluate the diamond for the man who wanted it. This way, she could get her hands on the diamond, and then deliver it to the man without raising suspicion.She spent the next few days researching everything she could about diamonds, learning everything she needed to know to pull off her plan.And then, she put her plan into action.She made contact with the man and told him that she was an appraiser who could evaluate the diamond for him. The man was hesitant at first, but Emily was persuasive, and she managed to convince him to bring the diamond to her.A few days later, the man arrived at Emily's cabin with the diamond. Emily took one look at it and knew that it was worth millions of dollars.She spent the next few hours evaluating the diamond, taking detailed note

He arrived soon after, a tall, muscular man with a serious look on his face."What's the plan?" he asked.Ethan explained everything, and the man nodded."I can help you," he said. "But it won't be easy."Together, they came up with a plan. They would sneak into the boss's headquarters, find the evidence they needed, and then get out without being caught.It was risky, but it was their only chance.As they made their way through the building, Emily couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She knew that they could be caught at any moment.Suddenly, they heard footsteps approaching."Quick, hide!" Ethan whispered.They ducked behind a nearby pillar, just as two guards walked past.Emily's heart was racing as they continued, finally reaching the room where the evidence was stored.But just as they were about to grab it, the boss appeared, flanked by his men."Well, well, well," he said. "I see you've come to steal from me."Emily and Ethan stood frozen, unsure of what to do.But then, t

Emily had a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, I'm in. What's the plan?"The man grinned. "First, we need to get you and your husband to safety. The boss is going to be coming after you now that you have that evidence."Emily felt a pang of fear in her chest. "How do we get to safety?""I have a safe house a few hours away from here," the man said. "We can take you there."Emily hesitated. "What about the evidence? We need to get it to the authorities.""We'll do that, too," the man said. "But we need to make sure you're safe first."Emily nodded. "Okay, let's do it."They made their way back to Ethan's car and the man gave them directions to the safe house. They drove in silence for a while, each lost in their thoughts.Finally, Ethan spoke up. "Do you trust that guy?"Emily hesitated. "I don't know. But we don't have a choice at this point."Ethan nodded. "I just don't want you to get hurt.""I'll be okay," Emily said, placing a reassuring hand on his arm.They arrived at the safe house

The men took them to a dark basement, and they were thrown into a corner. Emily winced in pain as her body hit the concrete floor, and she could feel her arms starting to bruise from the man's grip.Ethan got up, anger boiling in his veins. He walked up to the boss and got into his face."You think you can scare us into submission?" Ethan asked, his voice cold and hard. "You have no idea who you're dealing with."The boss laughed again. "Oh, I think I do. You're just a washed-up former detective, and she's just a pretty face with a trust fund. You're nothing compared to me."Emily watched as Ethan's fists clenched tighter, and she knew he was about to explode. She reached out and touched his arm, hoping to calm him down.But before she could say anything, the boss's phone rang. He answered it, and Emily could hear a voice on the other end."What do you mean they're missing?" the boss growled into the phone. "Find them, and find them fast. I want them dead."Emily's heart sank, and she

"I love you too," Emily replied, smiling up at him. "But we have to be careful. Who knows what other enemies we might have made?"Ethan nodded, his eyes scanning their surroundings. "You're right. We'll have to keep our guard up."As they walked, they heard footsteps behind them. They turned around to see a group of men approaching them."Looks like you two are in trouble again," one of them sneered.Emily's heart sank. They had just finished one fight, and now they were facing another.But Ethan didn't falter. He stood in front of Emily, ready to defend her. "We're not afraid of you," he said firmly.The men laughed, but Ethan didn't back down. He lunged forward, throwing punches and kicks with precision.Emily watched in awe as Ethan took down their attackers one by one. She knew that he was a skilled fighter, but she had never seen him in action before.In no time, the men were lying on the ground, groaning in pain. Ethan and Emily walked away unscathed.As they got into their car,

They had made an enemy who would never forget or forgive what they had done.The following days were filled with anxiety and tension as Ethan and Emily waited for the inevitable retaliation from Victor.

Emily's heart skipped a beat as she recognized the figure.It was the same person who had saved them twice before."You again," Ethan said, surprised.The figure nodded. "I'm glad to see that you're both safe," he said.Emily and Ethan exchanged a look of confusion. "Who are you?" Emily asked, her curiosity getting the best of her.The figure hesitated for a moment before finally removing his mask, revealing a face that Emily and Ethan knew all too well.It was Victor.Emily gasped in shock, unable to believe her eyes. "How did you escape?" she demanded.Victor smirked. "I have my ways," he said. "But I didn't come here to fight. I came to make a deal."Emily and Ethan exchanged a look of disbelief. They couldn't trust Victor, not after everything he had done."What kind of deal?" Ethan asked, his voice laced with suspicion.Victor's smirk widened. "I want to make a proposition. I'll give you something

Was he saying what she thought he was saying?"What do you mean?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Ethan took a deep breath. "I mean that maybe the contract was just a formality. Maybe what we had between us was real, even if we didn't realize it at the time."Emily felt a surge of hope. Could it be possible? Could Ethan have finally realized what he had lost?But she refused to let herself get carried away. "Ethan, you can't just say things like that and expect everything to be okay. You hurt me, and I can't just forget that.""I know," Ethan said. "And I'm not asking you to forget. I just want you to know that I never stopped caring about you. Even when we were apart, I thought about you every day."Emily felt a sense of warmth spread through her chest.
