Contractual Romance 30
Sandy's POV It hurt. It hurt so much. I hated how I allowed myself to get hurt over the fact that I saw one of Anthony’s lovers. I was supposed to be used to the fact that they were always around him but as long as I still was in love with Anthony, I would always feel jealous and angry within me. The girl was everything Anthony wanted in a woman. She was beautiful, even I who barely felt insecure about myself, suddenly felt insecurities. Her long hair, toned body and nice smile was enough to make Anthony see me as someone not even an inch of who the woman was. I started to regret not arguing with Anthony about the second rule. I knew the day would come when he would bring his lover home or at least be with her somewhere away from home just to get a fill of his sexual needs. I knew that we would never sleep with each other when there are means of me getting pregnant without me sleeping with him. I bit my lip and shut my eyes tight against the pang in my heart. I bowed my head and cu

Sandy’s POVAfter work, I rushed home with the thoughts of an hour ago in my head, how Anthony had been so close to kissing me. I was still feeling the sting of what happened and how he would never return my feelings. As far as he was clueless, I was only going to get hurt, especially seeing that I agreed to pretend to date and marry him just for the sake of his family business. It was foolish of me to accept this, but I was only helping him for just a few years and after that, I was going to move on. That is, if I don’t move on before the end of the marriage.I sighed as I walked into the house. I saw Gina flipping through a magazine in the living room and I smiled when she looked at me.“Your home early,” she said and dropped the magazine.I nodded and closed in on her before sitting beside her on the couch. I leaned against the couch and hummed.“Yes… and that is because I have a date tonight,” I said, and Gina sat up in surprise.“A date?” She smiled. “With Anthony?”I scoffed and

Sandy’s POVI woke up the next morning with a gasp when I realized I may have slept in a bit. My heart was pounding so hard. I got up and snatched my phone from the side table and sighed in relief when I saw I still had some time left. I ran my fingers through my hair and scrolled through my phone for any message from Anthony… Weird. He always left me a morning message, even if it had to do with work. My eyebrows furrowed as I wondered why he had not sent me a message, or even an email.“Maybe there is nothing important today. Besides, I don’t think I’m in the mood to entertain him today. Pfft.”I got out of bed and went over to my closet. I took out my work clothes and every other thing I wanted. After I was done, I left the room and entered the bathroom in the hallway. I quickly took off my clothes and turned on the shower, then waited for the hot water to flow. As I crossed over to the sink to brush my teeth, the same ache hit my abdomen. I hissed and leaned against the sink then p

Sandy’s POVThe wave of awareness dawned on me, and a weightless feeling made me confused as I opened my eyes, which I shut the moment a bright light flashed in my eyes. I waited for some seconds before I opened them again. I blinked and stared at the white ceiling with its ceiling fan, twirling slowly. The room was unfamiliar and to understand where I was, I looked to the side, and I saw a wide window showing me the daytime brightness and buildings close by and in the distance.I looked to the other side and realized from the IV pole and bag, the small wardrobe across the room, the leather couches close by and the large TV screen on the wall, that I was in a hospital. I looked down at my body and saw I was laying on a large hospital bed.I knew what hospital I was in just by the style of the room. This was Anthony’s family hospital, and I was in one of the VIP rooms. I heard a shuffle, and I glanced in the direction of the noise. Anthony was sitting up from a lounge-like couch, rubbi

Sandy’s POVI heard Anthony speaking somewhere in the living room and I made my way to the room. He had his back facing me as I walked out of the kitchen to where he stood, on a call with someone. As if sensing me, he turned around and smiled at me. I smiled back and he opened his free arm. I went closer and wrapped my arms around his firm body then inhaled his scent. I rested my head on his broad chest for some seconds before I propped my chin on it with my eyes on his face.“Yes… The meeting was scheduled for next month and the invites was sent out yesterday. All I need is for the board to be present for the briefing at the end of this month,” he said and winked at me, making my insides flutter. “Mhm… Alright. I’ll see you tomorrow.”The call ended and I sighed in relief before smiling again with subtle blinks. He smiled and wrapped his other arm around my waist.“What do you want?’ He asked.I opened my mouth to reply, instead he wagged his finger in my face, making me pout.“No… I

Sandy’s POVAnother week rolled by, and I still had not resumed work. At some point I got used to it and only watched Anthony leave for work and come home like a housewife. It felt weird sometimes, waiting for him to come home. It got to a point that I became excited when he came back. One time, he had come home while I was in the kitchen, he had wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek then said something about getting used to coming home to me.Anthony was the most annoying man I ever knew and I hated how the things he did and said made my heart flutter and feelings grow.“What are you thinking about?”I snapped out of my thoughts and looked away from the plane’s window to look at Anthony, who sat on the other side of the arm rest of the seat in the first class section of the plane. I smiled and shook my head at him.“Nothing,” I said, and he sighed.“I really wish I could avoid this event,” he said and huffed. “Why did my aunt even have to set the event in Seoul? Just b

Anthony’s POVI stared at my cousin, who I have known to run her mouth and be a poke-noser, with a frown. I was not surprised that she was the one saying this. But what made me more worried was what she had said about the others suspecting something off. It wasn’t anything new to me or any family member. We were the type that was full of doubt first before believing anything due to how serious we were about life or any decisions.“What are you talking about, Raina?” I asked and she put a shit eating grin on her face.“Oh, come on, Anthony. You can fool others but not me,” she said and crossed her legs. “I know you are not the type to get into a relationship. Especially when you swore heaven and earth that you wouldn’t settle down. So, how come, you suddenly start dating someone out of the blue?”I wanted to pull her ear and drag her out of the room. I did not want to listen to what she was saying. It was better I was not aware of the fact that there were people in the family who suspe

Sandy’s POVI was not okay.I was feeling like a hot potato boiling in a pot. My heart was racing fast and pounding to the point I felt like blood was rushing in my ears. My stomach knotted more and more when I tried to convince myself that sitting on Anthony’s lap was normal.Nope, it was not. There was nothing normal about it. Especially when I could feel his taut stomach against my side, and his warm hand on my naked thigh, followed by his cock that was slightly hard under my butt. The feel of it made me sit stiffly, too scared to move so he would not feel awkward.“Relax,” he whispered in my ear again. “Remember what Raina said.”I glanced at Raina who was standing beside her mother. She winked at me and smirked before looking away. I sighed and forced myself to relax. My body tingled when I felt Anthony’s hand move upper on my thigh. He gripped my thigh and rubbed the spot he gripped. My pussy throbbed and I knew I was so wet from what he was doing.“You need to get used to me to

Contractual Romance 81
Sandy’s POVYesterday was a surprise for me. Anthony's sudden behavior and the sex we had was something I never imagined would happen after my heartbreak session the day before yesterday with Gina.Gina had taken me to her place and from there, we went to a club where we partied, and I drank to my heart's content. After that, everything else was blank. I barely remembered getting home. All I remembered was waking up from my painful sleep, showering and making breakfast for the both of us.The turn of events stunned me. I was confused but happy and satisfied. Something about the way we had sex felt different. He had been gentle yet rough. There was a look in his eyes when he was inside me, thrusting. His touches were softer and precise. The sex had me falling even deeper in love with him and I could not forget the way he was looking at me when I woke up to find him staring at me. It was a look I wanted from him more. The look left me feeling full in my heart and flushed.Someone cleari

Anthony’s POVI moaned into her mouth when she kissed me back, which sent shivers down my spine. My body had missed her touch and her lips that I could not help but kiss her more, deeper, harder and more passionately. Every part of me was awake and energized from our kiss and from the way my hands touched every part of her I could reach. When she moaned, I shuddered and felt my cock stirring in my pants. I wanted her so much it hurt. I needed to have her again, to be one with her and make my body feel on top of the world. I missed being inside of her, filling her with my cock and hearing her cries of pleasure as I made love to her.I pulled away from her lips to lift her into my arms and place her on the table in the center of the kitchen then I kissed her again. I moved my hands to the hem of her night dress then slipped my hands under it, digging my fingers into her soft thigh. I stepped between her legs and slipped my hands upward to her hips which I gripped and used in pulling her

Anthony’s POVI was stunned to the bones over what was just said by my drunk wife.She had to be lying or joking due to her state because what did she mean that she was madly in love with me? I could not believe what I was hearing. Sandy was not being serious. It had to be the alcohol making her say things she did not mean but people did say alcohol brought the truth out and what I just heard was sounding too good to be true.Sandy was probably not serious. We always said I love you to each other because it was a casual thing to us, and she was just saying this out of those words we playfully used to tease or to show we cared for one another.“You think I am crazy, right?” Sandy laughed then stopped. She moved away and rested on the couch.I stayed quiet as I waited to hear more. She needed to explain what she meant. I eyed her, hoping she said something to elaborate on what she meant because there was no way on God’s planet that she was in love with me. I always heard of best friends
Contractual Romance 78
Anthony’s POVThe drive home was a long one as I kept thinking back to what Trent had said to me. I never expected such a thing from him as I always saw him as some loser who was being used by my father but what I saw today made me understand that there was something even more about this guy. I didn’t know what it was but whatever he was, it was definitely something that was not good and the fact that Sandy associated herself with him made me worry. I didn’t know what his plan was, but he needed to not involve Sandy in it. She was just an innocent bystander when it came to the business.I snapped out of my deep thoughts when the driver came to a stop in front of the house. I had been so lost in my thoughts I did not know we had driven into the estate. I picked up my things then opened the back door before stepping out of the car. I shut the door and started making my way to the entrance of the house, only to slow down when the front doors opened, revealing my wife.A smile appeared on
Contractual Romance 77
Anthony’s POVI was a fool, just like how Sandy always called me, but I was a fool with a conscience and fear for the future. I was trying to act smart, to keep my mind and thoughts in check in order to avoid a huge disaster but it was beginning to look very difficult.I was already regretting making Sandy work someplace else due to the fact that she suddenly started having this glow on her that pulled me to her. I knew that other men had eyes because as we walked into the company today, I saw the way some executives looked at her and even during meetings. It irked me so bad that I almost lost it and fired them.Never did I care about how other men looked at my best friend but now that she was my wife, amongst other things that changed our relationship, it was hard not to feel a hot sensation in my chest at the thought and sight of other men eyeing her with bad thoughts swimming in their heads.I did not forget what I had seen when I stepped into her office earlier with Addison. They
Contractual Romance 76
Sandy’s POVAfter he had spoken, I was left feeling confused and conflicted. I looked from one person to another, trying to make sense of what I had just heard or if they had also heard what Anthony had just said. I looked at Trent and he was looking surprised while glancing at me. I looked at Anthony, he was not even meeting my eyes, it was as if he was avoiding me. I looked at the woman and she was simply smiling at me with innocence in her eyes, which I did not believe in.I looked at the Addison woman closely. She was just the type of woman Anthony always went for when he needed a quick fuck. She was slim with curves, long blonde hair, a pretty face with big blue eyes and a pretty smile. She was everything people and Anthony called his type, and she was going to replace me?“What do you mean?” I asked and sighed.No, I could not have this conversation with them in the room with us.I turned around and looked at Trent with a look in my eyes. I needed to speak to him alone, without
Contractual Romance 75
Sandy’s POV“I want my own room,” I announced, stopping Anthony in his tracks as he showed me the last bedroom.“Huh?” He turned around and on his face was a look of shock. “Your room? Why… I mean, we could–”I scoffed. “You told me yesterday how you want things to end and how you need things to be from now on, so tell me why we should share a room, Anthony? This marriage is a contract, isn’t it? Which means, there is no reason for us to share a room, unless we have guests sleeping over. Then we can pretend to be the happy couple that is madly in love with each other.”I wanted him to feel hurt by his stupid decision just as I was and with the flash of something in his eyes, I knew that he was, which made me very satisfied with myself.“Sandy.” He sighed and took a step toward me. “I… Okay…Fine. That will even be better because that way we can form self-control, seeing we have now had sex.”Anthony cleared his throat and turned his body away from me. He motioned at the door across the
Contractual Romance 74
Sandy’s POVBefore I could stop myself, I slapped him across the cheek, hard. My palm stung, which satisfied me. The anger burning inside me made me ignore the guilt I was feeling for hitting him. It was wrong of me to hit a person, whether man or woman but I couldn’t help it. He was hurting me, and I didn’t know what to do or how to react to what was happening.Anthony rubbed the spot where I had slapped and turned his body away. I glared at every move he made until he faced me with a softness in his eyes. I didn’t want to falter, not yet until he explained to me why he was acting this way all of a sudden.“I don’t have anything to say to you anymore, Sandy. I already told you what I wanted to do. I have been trying to summon the will to say this to you without hurting you,” he said and rubbed the red mark on his cheek. “Damn, you hit hard.”I was speechless as I replayed what he said seconds ago. He wanted us to stop something we just started. What happened to all those words he tol
Contractual Romance 73
Sandy’s POVOur honeymoon was coming to an end. After spending days, having the time of our lives, we were going back to reality, at least, that was what my brain termed it as. What Anthony and I had here was simply a fantasy. Everything that had gone on since we arrived here was all because of responsibility and our new rule in the contract binding our new lives.Once we get back, we would go back to what took most of our time. Anthony was a workaholic; he was probably going to bury himself in work while I did the same. I was nervous and worried about how our sexual relationship was going to turn out. It was a different thing when we were here and would be something that involved clarity once we got back.I dropped the magazine I was staring at when Anthony walked into the room while on a call with someone. When I heard what the conversation was about, I rolled my eyes. Of course, he was back to working even when we were leaving the hotel tomorrow. Even I, his assistant, barely knew
