Contract Marriage: I've always loved you Chapter 35 A Secret!
After a few months,Eight months and seventeen days have passed since I last saw, touched, and felt Grace’s presence. Each day, the ache of missing her has deepened, and not a single moment has gone by without longing for her.I remain oblivious to her whereabouts and well-being because when my father informed Grace’s father about our contract marriage; he cast her out of his house.She even stopped posting her blogs. Every day, I offer silent prayers, hoping she’s safe and that our paths will cross again.If fate allows our paths to cross once more, I’m determined not to let her slip away and to make things work between us.Yeah. This time, I’m willing to take a few extra steps because being apart from her for eight months made me realise where I went wrong. In a relationship, it’s not always about giving 50-50. It can be 60-40 or even 70-30. What really matters is who we are and where we both stand. That’s what counts in the end.I have come to London for a business project, and my

Grace’s P.O.V.Flashback (The morning after my last sexual encounter with Steve)As I wake up in Steve’s arms, the realisation hits me hard that this will be the last time I wake up to his loving embrace and savour the intoxicating scent of his presence. I hold him a little tighter, as if trying to freeze this moment in time.I have no clue why I feel a heaviness in my heart; our relationship was destined to end one day.I'm gazing at Steve's face, not even blinking my eyes. It's hard to explain, but tears start welling up as I think that this might be the last time I see him up close. The last time.I just wish I could freeze this moment for a few more seconds. Just a few more.What's happening to me? Why this sudden uneasiness? Why?Maybe it's because I did wrong with Steve. I can't deny that it wasn't his fault, it was mine. So this uneasiness, this feeling I'm going through is because I did wrong with him, with his father. I played with his father's trust, knowingly or unknowingly

Contract Marriage: I've always loved you Chapter 38 Hello, my babies!
Steve’s P.O.V.In the hospital, I pace outside the labour room, my heart pounding in sync with the ticking clock on the wall. I’m anxious and excited both as I await news about Grace and our unborn child.I still can’t believe I’m going to become a father in a few minutes. This feeling is driving me insane.After what feels like an eternity, the door springs open, and two nurses emerge, each cradling a tiny bundle wrapped in a blanket. My brows narrow in confusion.What the fuck? Two babies? Am I dreaming? I rub my eyes and blink, trying to process the unexpected news.My eyes widen in shock as one of the nurses informs me that Grace has given birth to twins—a girl and a boy.Oh, God!

Shock after shock.I can't even put into words how amazed and overjoyed I am.“Twins?” I stammer, my voice barely audible.As a nurse nods and extends one baby to
Contract Marriage: I've always loved you Chapter 39 Giana and Evan
I wake up in the hospital bed, shouting, “My babies…”Relief washes over me as my eyes fall on my little twins sleeping peacefully in a crib kept beside the bed.As I let out a deep breath, my eyes instinctively scan the room for Steve. He’s there, leaning against the door, arms crossed, and his intense gaze fixed on mine. I can see numerous questions and emotions in his eyes, but above all, I sense hurt mixed with anger.My eyes fill with tears as I realise I may have hurt him again, whether knowingly or unknowingly.I know I deserve punishment; I know I’m at fault, and I know I deserve his anger. But I don’t deserve to be separated from my babies. I just don’t. I’m their mother, and the mere thought of being separated from them is unbearable.Parting my lips, I try to beg him not to take my babies away, but words fail to form as emotions overwhelm me.I take a deep breath, our eyes still locked.“Steve, please don’t take my baby—” My sentence remains unfinished as tears cascade down
Contract Marriage: I've always loved you Chapter 40 His Unwavering Support
Grace’s P.O.V. Elsa enters the hospital room with excitement shining in her eyes, holding a huge bouquet in her hand. As she sees me, she rushes towards me. “Congratulations, new mama.” She envelops me in a tight hug, causing me to wince slightly from the pain. Before I can speak, Steve’s voice interrupts. “She’s weak. Please don’t hug her like that. It must be painful for her.” Elsa steps back, glancing at Steve on the couch, his expression filled with concern, and my heart races as I hear his caring words. I look at him with affectionate eyes, and he returns my gaze with a soft, concerned look. Our eye contact is interrupted when Elsa interjects, “I’m sorry, babes. I was so excited, I didn’t realise.” I can see the guilt in her eyes. I reassure her, “It’s okay. I’m fine.” “Steve, this is my friend, Elsa.” I make the introduction. “Hi, Elsa. Nice to meet you,” Steve greets politely, giving her a faint smile before excusing himself, leaving us alone. “Damn, Grace, this man is

Steve’s P.O.V.As I come outside to convince my father to give Grace a second chance, I see him seated on the sofa, glaring straight.I settle down beside him.“Dad, I know your anger is justified. Keep Grace aside and think about your grandchildren. They deserve to live with their mother. It’s not right to separate them from her.” As I explain to him, he stares at me, his face etched with anger.“I’m thinking about my grandchildren only, Steve. If they stay with that woman, they’ll become like her. Why don’t you understand, Steve, she’ll have a bad influence on them?” I lower my gaze, hearing all this. It really hurts me to see my father angry at Grace because I love her. Although l can’t forgive her, I can’t see her in pain and let anybody berate her. But what dad is thinking, I can totally understand from where he is coming from. So, I must handle this situation with care.I take a deep breath, trying to find the right words to convince him. “Dad, I believe people can change. Grace
