Chasing His Contracted Wife Vacation
Kelvin had this deer caught in the headlights look for a few seconds, and then it was gone. If not that Ariella had all her attention fixed on him, she would have missed it.“Uhhm,” Kelvin cleared his throat before he moved from where he was standing with Mariam down to where Ariella was. “I came up with a decision early this week, but of course I will need your yes in it.”“What decision?” From the little she has heard from their discussion, she had an idea, but she would rather not be faster than her shadow.“I want you to go out of the country for a little while. Get some fresh air and be away from the city, and it’s chaos for a while. You can—”“Can what? Come back anytime I want?” Ariella interrupted him, “We’ve spoken about this before and I made it known to you that…”“And you made it known that you won’t be leaving, but that was before. Before your mother died. It’s for your own good. For your mental health.”“I’m fine,” Ariella responded through gritted teeth.“I never said y

“Hey, Ariella. You promised that we’ll check this place out any time we come by. We have to do it today,” Mariam was bouncing on her feet excitedly as she looked at Ariella with expectation.“I…Mariam, you know that we cannot…”“Come on, Ariella,” Mariam groaned, “Don’t get started on me about how this place looks so expensive and it would be wrong to keep using Kelvin’s money on expensive things.”“Well, you took the words right out of my mouth,” Arialla said as she spun around to keep walking.“Hey, hey,” Mariam grabbed Ariella’s forearm to stop her, “You promised me, remember?”Ariella placed her free hand on her forehead. She could already feel an oncoming headache. Mariam was not one to give up easily. How the hell did they even walk right through this place? Right. Mariam tricked her into it and because Ariella had forgotten about this place and her promise, she walked right into the trap.“Look, you’ve got to stop feeling guilty about spending Kelvin’s money, he’s your husband

Since they went out for a walk in the evening and ended up having a lengthy discussion in the restaurant where Mariam did not hold back from ordering almost everything on the menu, it was a very long list, it was nighttime before they could set out to the house kelvin rented for them for their vacation. The same house that Mariam had been trying to convince Ariella was not a rented one. “You really don’t feel like throwing up?” Arielle asked Mariam for the umpteenth time since they left the restaurant and began to go home.She’s never seen Mariam eat this much before. They were both models who had to eat little to keep fit and maintain their shapes and stature. Ariella only started eating more because of her pregnancy, but Mariam was not pregnant so it was scary the amount of food she swallowed today.“I do not feel like throwing up. How many times have I got to tell you to stop worrying about me? I’m fine. Their food was just too delicious, I could not help myself.”“And I told you

“You are here?” Ariella asked in a breathy voice as her heart, which had begun to race after she heard that someone broke into the house, slowed down.She was already painting different scenarios in her head of whom the person might be and what they would want. Ariella was already thinking of the expression on Kelvin’s face when he would say, “I told you so,”.He’s tried to employ a bodyguard to watch them, but she refused, saying if she were to go on a vacation and enjoy it then she wouldn't want anyone watching her every move. She could take care of herself, she was a grown woman. Those words would come back to bite her in the butt.To say that she was surprised to see Kelvin here was an understatement. Since they got here he has not visited, and she did not want him here, Gladys had done so only once, and it was the first time Ariella refused to go for therapy.She wondered why he was here and hoped that it was not for something bad. She would end it well if she got another bad new

“Oh my God,” Ariella gasped as tears filled her eyes. “I’m so sorry,” now she felt like the devil for asking him what he knows about grief and for also making him think back to the past. “No need for an apology. Listen to what I’m going to tell you. Pay close attention.”Ariella nodded eagerly then Kelvin continued.“While all of this was happening, my mother was mourning the loss of her husband and trying to find a solution for her only child who was at the verge of madness. When I realized this, I wanted to be well just for my mother, but it never happened. I went to therapy and still nothing, I nearly had to be sent to the psychiatrist. It wasn’t until I opened up one day and told her therapist that I blamed myself for my father's death that she told him if I wanted to be well, I needed to forgive myself. “She said that it was the first step. She made me understand that I could not have known that he was going to die that day. We always went to get ice cream at exactly that time

Arialla groaned as she sat up on her bed and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand. A loud scream left her mouth when she raised her head and saw a tall figure leaning against her door. She abruptly slammed her mouth shut when she realized that it was Kelvin standing there.“What a lovely way to greet me.” Kelvin told her with a smirk, “Morning to you too,”Ariella patted her chest with her hand, “Good morning. I did not expect to see you there,”“I was not expecting to see myself here either,” he pushed himself off her door and walked to stand over her by the bed, “I wanted to check up on you before I leave this morning.”“Huh?”“Huh,”“Why are you being so sarcastic this morning?” Ariella could not help but ask. She felt like he was coming for her throat. She’s not seen him since that night they took a walk by the beach, and it’s been two days. According to Mariam, he was always up before her and she was always in bed by the time he got back.“Am I?” He jerked his chin at the w

One minute she was meditating in the warm water that had now gone cold and the next minute she was snapped out of it by a knock on the door. Ariella landed on her bottom with a splash, and she screamed when her leg twisted at the wrong angle and hot pain shot through her. “Ariella, I’m coming in now,” Kelvin said as he twisted the door handle. Even with the painful feeling in her leg, Ariella’s eyes widened in fear as she looked at the door, “No, please don’t come in. I’m fine,” even her voice betrayed her pain. Kelvin ignored her words and opened the door, “No, you are not fine,” he said as he stepped into the bathroom and hurried over to the bathtub. “It’s just my leg. Allow me to come out by myself,” “Let me help you,” Without even thinking twice Kelvin shoved his hand inside the tub and pulled her out into his arms then he hurried out to sit her on the bed in the room. Kelvin knelt in front of her and lifted one of her legs, “Which one of them is twisted?” “Not the one you

“I…” he cleared his throat awkwardly, avoiding her eyes. “I'll get something in the closet for you to wear.” He didn't even wait for a reason before rushing over to the closet.Ariella watched him with an amused expression. He scampered through the wardrobe, shaking his head with incoherent complaints. Deciding to ease his stress, Ariella wrapped the sheets around her body and pushed herself out of bed. A small cuss fell off her lips as soon as her feet touched the ground. She sucked it in and walked towards the closet to pick something to wear.“What do you think you're doing? Go back to bed, I'll pick something for you,” he tried to shoo her away. “You're not exactly doing a great job, Kelvin. If I leave you to it, my legs would be all swollen by the time you're done and even then, we will never make it to the hospital because you will still be deciding if it suits my skin tone,” she stated. A frown settled on his face and she sensed a protest coming up. Surprisingly, he said n

Chasing His Contracted Wife Four
Sophia’s POVThey did not know. I could see it in their eyes as they looked at one another and as they whispered. I knew that my mother and father could hear everything they were saying but these people seem to have forgotten as they continued to talk in hushed tones among themselves.It's been three days since my mother walked into my room and found me looking like I was well over thirty five years. She had immediately raised alarm and called my father into the room. He was just as shocked as we were when he saw my appearance. He stopped at the door as his jaw dropped open in shock before he rushed over to me and grabbed my face in his hands, his eyes wide in alarm as he turned my face left and right the same way mother did. Three days later, I looked like I was over forty five to fifty years old. The first day, we kept it a secret among the family as they tried to analyze the situation and check if I was using something that was making my face look old but nothing I had was harmful
Chasing His Contracted Wife Three
Joanne's POVThe sun shone through my window early the next morning, throwing the light across my room. I woke up feeling refreshed but also aware of the chaos from the night before. My head was still buzzing with thoughts about Poppy and Collins. "I need to blend in today," I told myself as I got out of bed.After getting ready, I decided to keep things simple. I pulled on a comfortable outfit and tied my hair back. “Just a quiet day,” I said, nodding at my reflection. “Nothing too dramatic.”I made my way through the halls of the hotel, trying to avoid any unnecessary attention. As I walked, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned to see Mia catching up.“Joanne!” she called out, her face a mix of concern and fear. “I’m so glad I found you! I wanted to talk about what happened last night.”“Hey, Mia!” I replied, forcing a smile. “Don’t worry about it! I’m fine.”“No, I really need to apologize,” she insisted, her hands waving in front of her. “I should have immediately when you saw al

Joanne's POV As the night wore on, I felt energy pulsating around me. The music, the laughter—all of it made me want to keep going. But I noticed Mia and Lila starting to sway a bit on their feet.“Hey, you two,” I said, waving them over. “Are you alright?”Mia yawned dramatically. “I think it’s time for us to call it a night,” she said, stifling another yawn. “I’m so tired!”“Yeah, I’m with you,” Lila agreed, rubbing her eyes. “Tonight was fun, but I can’t keep my eyes open.”“Alright, get some rest!” I replied, grinning. “You both deserve it after a long night of dancing!”Mia smiled back. “Thanks, Joanne. You did amazing tonight!” “Yeah, you really showed Poppy! I can’t wait to hear about all the chaos you plan to cause!” Lila laughed, throwing her arms around me for a quick hug.“Trust me, I have plans for the next two weeks,” I said with a smirk. “Poppy’s going to know exactly who she’s dealing with.”“Good luck with that!” Mia joked. “Just don’t let her drive you crazy!”“Neve

Joanne's POVI sat in the garden, tears pouring down my cheeks. The news about the tournament cancellation hit me hard, and I felt lost. After everything I had hoped for, this moment seemed unbearable. I tried to wipe my eyes, but every thought about the tournament made my heart sink deeper.“Joanne!” I heard Silver call from a distance. I looked up and saw her rushing toward me, worry etched on her face.“What’s wrong?” she asked, kneeling next to me. “You look devastated!”“I am,” I admitted, sniffing. “They canceled the tournament! Everything I prepared for is gone!”“Hey, hey! Don’t cry!” Silver said, her tone soothing. “Wipe those tears away. We need you calm down and see poor Cassian, he is a blubbering mess!”“I don’t even know how to feel,” I said, my voice shaky. “It was everything I wanted. Now it’s all up in flames!”“Maybe it’s not over yet!” Silver said. “You don’t know what might happen next.”“I can’t believe this,” I whispered, struggling to calm down. Silver put her

JOANNE The maids went on to assign us to rooms as they read from their tablets our names and the room we were to be in. “I'm still quite surprised that you followed me all the way here,” I whispered to Amara who stood beside me. “ You make it look like I haven't been here since,” she replied. “ You know, you don't have to accompany me,” I said, genuinely not wanting to burden her. Since this was a contest to select the bride for the Lycan King, we'd be staying at the palace until the contest is over. “ It's a little too much to be saying accompany, though you're not wrong,” she nodded her head not wanting to admit that she was worried. “You make me wonder if I'm weak,” I mumbled. “I heard you by the way and you know that's not the case,” she folded her arms. “I simply need to ensure that you are safe and I mean, knowing how unsociable you are, it would be a lot easier for you if you had your best friend with you,” she gave me a thumbs up and
Chasing His Contracted Wife Park
As Ariella moved from boutique to boutique, buying both the things she wanted and the things she needed, swiping Kelvin’s card here and there, it almost felt like the burden she’s been carrying inside of her was lessening. It was the same as when people cut themselves to bleed out so that they could feel better.Her driver for today was not the one she was familiar with. Anytime she picked something, his eyes would widen but she did not care. She did not know if he was surprised because of the multiple things she was buying or the prices of these things. She was trying hard not to look at the price herself because anytime her eyes went to the price, she could feel her heart beating faster than normal in her chest. He was following her so closely like he was her bodyguard. Maybe Kelvin did care about his child after all. She’s never seen this man before so he might as well be a bodyguard disguised as her driver. This made her relax a whole lot and enjoy her shopping. She ignored Mar

Joanne's POV Silver had already left the room and I was as exhausted as fuck. I wanted to take a walk to clear my head After spending some time in the garden and then at the party, I finally made my way back to my room for probably the 100th time today. I slumped onto my bed, feeling a mix of exhaustion and lingering tension. The events of the day swirled in my mind, and I needed a moment to regroup.“Ugh, what a day,” I muttered to myself, staring up at the ceiling. I rolled over and grabbed my phone from the nightstand. “Maybe talking to Nathan will help me clear my head.”I dialed his number and waited. It rang a couple of times before I heard his familiar voice. “Hey, Joanne! What’s up?”“Nathan! Just checking in,” I said, smiling a little. “How's everything back at home?”“Busy as usual,” he replied, sounding cheerful. “Dad is still buried in those pack reports, you know how he is. But Mom misses you! She keeps asking when you’ll be back.”“I miss her too! I can’t wait to see h

The people around them let out loud gasps of surprise at the same time Kyra did.Her hand slowly lifted to touch her burning cheek as she winced in disbelief. “How dare you suggest that we find a way to clean up my dress? We? Clean? Do you know how much I got this dressed? It was tailored just for me to wear to this party, yet you ruined it by walking around like a blind bat!” The lady yelled, her face creasing with angry lines.Kyra was still dumbfounded by the slap that she just kept on staring at the lady without a word making its way past her lips. “What? Cat got your tongue now?” The lady continued to yell as if oblivious to the fact that all attention was on them or that Anton was now walking down to where she and Kyra were standing. “Just a few days ago you were sold off like a slave because you shamelessly went to get yourself pregnant with Tristan’s child, and today you think you are a princess again because Alpha Anton bought you and brought you to this party?

Ariella fidgeted nervously and wiggled her hands together. She had received a call from the hospital five hours ago that her mother collapsed. Her mother's surgery that was scheduled for five weeks later has been brought forward because of this. The doctor was demanding money for the surgery, and she also had outstanding debt for the drugs her mother's doctor was kind enough to give to her on credit. After her father's death, Ariella's mother fell ill, so she had to drop out of college and look for a job. In the process of looking for a job, she met an agent, who helped her secure a position to become a model. Since Ariella was beautiful and had a good shape for modeling, she was able to get a spot in the company, but she could never go far. She had no connection, she was not willing to sell her body. Most of her resources were snatched by the other models. Even after two years in the modeling industry, she was not making enough money to take care of her mother's medical bills
