CHAPTER 69: CONSEQUENCES

Although she knew there would be repercussions, nothing could have equipped her for their terrible weight now. Rachel doesn't care; the sirens are far off and getting louder every second. Nothing in her environment feels the same today. She murmurs to herself, "I never thought it would end this way," the words hollow hanging in the air.

Standing beside her, Noah's chest heaving with tiredness, his eyes sweep around. Though his prior fight injuries are starting to show, his attitude is one of quiet resolve. "It doesn't matter," he says, his voice firm but tinged with her tiredness. Now, we make our fate.

But the weight of the choices Rachel took strains her chest. She understands they cannot reverse everything that brought them here or go back. Their captivity by the Sinclair family is stifling. Her eyes are full of shame, and she looks at Noah. "Do you ever see us free?"

She turns to see Noah and someone steps from the alleyway's shadows. Tall and dark, the a

  • Dear Mr. Billionaire, Our Marriage Is Just A Contract   Sacrifice

    CHAPTER 70: SACRIFICE With a voice almost above a whisper, "Noah, what do we do now?" she says. Her eyes dart across his face, searching for something to grab onto. Something they might fight for and something to inspire hope.Noah looks at her, his hands quivering slightly as he embraces her, his face unreadable. His injuries weigh heavily on him as his chest rises and falls in short breaths. "I don't know," he says with a strained, broken voice. "But right now, we cannot stop. Not following the journey we have been on."Rachel shakes at the ambiguity in his voice. She was ready to believe in him, and she obliged. But the terror of losing everything—losing him—gets more intense with every passing second. The intolerable thought of it hurts her heart.Apart from their anxious and heavy breathing, the room is quiet. Closing walls surround their surroundings. Rachel freezes even though she wants to yell and lash out at the unfairness of it all. Everything they have battled could simply

    CHAPTER 71: A NEW HOPE Beside her, Noah is walking slowly and collaboratively; his injury makes him depend on her for support. Still, he sees a fire that will not go out. Though he speaks little, his presence is always reassuring. Right now, they have this moment, that little window of protection. Rachel, though, understands it is ephemeral."You're not safe yet," the enigmatic ally says, looking back at them. The figure's rough but calm voice brings Rachel back to the present. They have no time to ponder what they left behind.Rachel lets her hands close together. Then where where do we go? Her voice quakes from tiredness, physical and psychological, more than from terror. Their past choices weigh down her chest like a weight.The ally keeps walking, his stride slow yet deliberate; he does not react immediately. Rachel can practically taste the tension in the night, which seems still.A roaring engine breaks through the darkness. Rachel stops; her heart leaps into her throat. Now, t

  • Dear Mr. Billionaire, Our Marriage Is Just A Contract   Final Stand

    CHAPTER 72: FINAL STANDRachel and Noah are in the middle of the alley, surrounded by silence that weighs on them like a thousand-pound stone. The chilly night air cuts at Rachel's skin. Although their bodies, battered and tired, have battled many threats, their current fight is different. The last confrontation looms big, and there is no way out of the reality they have been dodging for so long.Though Rachel's mind is racing and her heart is pounding in her chest, there is nothing left to do except confront the unavoidable. She glances at Noah, trying to find some sign of comfort on his face, but all she sees is the same fear engulfing her own heart. They are about to part from everything.Rachel says, "This is it," her voice low and hardly audible over her pulse beating. "No way out exists." We have run out of time.Noah closes his mouth, his eyes sharp with will. We battle. Rachel, this marks the end here. Should we go down, we do so together.She nods, but the weight of his comme

    CHAPTER 73: FINAL BATTLE Rachel's heart thumped in her chest; her breath was shallow, yet her eyes showed a consistent will. Here is it. The rule of the Sinclair family ends tonight, regardless of the expenses. She has been ready for this since the start, yet the weight of what they will go through settles firmly in her gut. She no longer battles only for Noah or for herself. She is fighting for the life they ought to have had as well as every ounce of freedom.Noah fixes her, his visage a mask of silent determination. He has gone through hell and back, yet he stands here prepared to defend their future out of her. s hand stretches out for hers, firmly grasped.

    Chapter 74: PRICE OF LOYALTY Though their bodies are battered and bloodied, Rachel and Noah stand on the brink, and their will remains unbroken. Starting as a whispered commitment to survive, the conflict has spun into an all-consuming war from which there seems to be no escape. Tension permeates the air around them as distant gunfire and sirens fill the evening. Driven and merciless, the men of the Sinclair family surround them like a tightening noose.Rachel's heart thumps in her chest while her mind runs over the unknown of their future. She looks at Noah, her boyfriend and defender, and discovers the same tiredness in his eyes. He is determined, his posture rigid with the weight of their circumstances, but his hand, still clutching hers, showcases the anxiety that permeates their relationship.Rachel says, her voice strained from the smoke and dust in the air, "We cannot run forever." Her words weigh heavy in the stillness, but there is no time for consolation or assurances. The

  • Dear Mr. Billionaire, Our Marriage Is Just A Contract   Fight For Survival

    CHAPTER 75: FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL Breath shallow, heart heavy, Rachel stands in the shadowy alleyway. Her head raced with the knowledge that things had changed. Thick and oppressive, the betrayal that tore over their planet still lingers. Though the words seem pointless, she wants to talk to help relax the conflict between her and Noah. Every idea she generates seems to counter the suffering reality they live in. Their once-cherished trust is broken, and with it, something more profound—something she does not even have the vocabulary for.Noah is next to her; his face is inscrutable. His mouth closes as he looks at her, but his stare offers only a tempest of emotions—the weight of his guilt and the same tiredness she feels.Noah continues, his voice gruff, "You don't need to say anything." "I am aware of your perspective."Rachel is unable to turn away, though. She wants to shout, to ask him how he could hide something vital and turn on them both so totally. She stays quiet, though, try

    CHAPTER 76: BITTER TRUTHRachel stands paralysed as the weight of the truth slams into her like a tidal wave, her body shaking as the whole degree of Noah's treachery plays out right before her. The lies he had spun, the secrets he had kept, everything she knew about him and them is now broken, and the fragments are falling through her hands.Noah keeps a tight eye on her; his face seems to be a mask of sorrow and something darker than she can quite grasp. But all she sees is the treachery. Now, crumbling to ruin is the one thing she trusted—the one thing she felt would never be damaged."Why wouldn't you tell me, Noah?" Though Rachel's voice is only a whisper, it echoes in the quiet between them. Her heart breaks as the confidence she developed in him withers away like sand through her fingertips. "Why keep this from me??"Noah steps towards her, his face tormented, but Rachel stays still. She lacks. She tries to reach for him, to locate any shred of the person she believed he was, b

    CHAPTER 77: HEART OF DECEPTIONAs Noah guides Rachel across the maze of alleys, her breath freezes. Their steps are heavy, the weight of all they have battled squarely upon them. Their hands securely bind, a link they once believed unbreakable, now under pressure from treachery and the weight of their secrets. Their situation starts to untangle as they negotiate the darkness.Noah continues, his voice sad, "The Sinclair family has hands in everything." "Every choice, every moment we felt belonged to us; their design has included all this. Rachel, we have been under observation all this entire time.Rachel feels a knot tighten in her chest. Though she had never imagined the Sinclair family could be this sneaky, she was aware they were deadly. It's suffocating to realise they have been pawns in a far bigger game."No, this cannot be true," she says quietly. Though she tries so hard to keep strong, her voice quakes. "We have battled valiantly. It cannot have all been for nothing.Noah do

    CHAPTER 87: A NEW HOPEHer voice is almost audible against the breeze; she whispers, "We cannot run forever." "We are approaching."Noah initially answers hardly at all. He watches her, his own controlled anxiousness reflected in his eyes. " Nums." Still, we cannot face it by ourselves.Rachel stares at him, her history dragging down her shoulders. Once delicate, their relationship now feels like an unspoken promise—a knowledge they will be standing together no matter what happens. Still, even that dedication appears insufficient to shield them from what looms ahead.They have battled so valiantly to recover some normalcy and arrive here. Still, always eager to drag them back into the darkness, the shadows of their past linger, nipping at them. The truth of what they have done and lost forces on their shoulders like a weighty, stifling weight with every day.Noah adds at last. "We fight," his voice low yet firm. "And we triumph." In tandem.Footfall broke the silence before Rachel cou

    CHAPTER 86: A NEW BEGINNING The weight of their rebuilding decision presses on Rachel's chest as she glances out the window. The peaceful buzz of the night outside fails to soothe the storm within. Her body hurts from the emotional and physical fights she has engaged in. Though she doesn't let it show, her hands shake slightly. She is far gone; she cannot stop now.Noah is standing next to her; his presence acts as a stabilizer. Though he is silent, she can see the same turbulence in his gaze. Even after the conflict ends, the scars remain. They both are aware of that. Neither of them is the same person who entered the fight several months ago."We can do this, Rachel," Noah replies gently as if trying the words and considering their sincerity. "Together." Her heart twisted, and Rachel turned toward him. She wants to believe it. She does, although the uncertainties still exist. Suppose the past is too difficult to overcome? What if their survival comes at too high a cost?"I'm not s

    CHAPTER 85: RISING TENSION Noah's face looks drawn and tired as he walks into the living room, and Rachel can sense the irritation in his eyes. She knows the conversation is approaching even though they have dodged it for days. Indeed, neither of them is good, not yet.Noah replies, his voice laden with the unspoken thoughts between them, "We need to talk."Trying to calm her racing heart, Rachel inhales deeply. "Regarding what?"Rachel, about us. Regarding what's next. His eyes meet hers, begging for some response to help them make sense of the anarchy around them.Rachel bites hard. "I have no idea, Noah. I don't know whether I am capable of doing this.Noah approaches, his hand extended towards hers. "Do we have any option here? We have far to go, but I am not giving up on us right now.She jerks her hand back, the agony from the past several days rising. "It goes beyond just us, Noah." It is much more than that. The past, the falsehoods, resurfaced. I cannot simply let go.Noah's

    CHAPTER 84: HEALING WOUNDS Noah's voice disturbs the quiet, raw and forceful. "Rachel, we are still here. Still living is us. It is just that which counts. Though Rachel knows the truth, his eyes flutter with a weary will. Though the fight is not finished, they have survived the worst of it. Not for their use.She suffers anxiety, terrified of what lies ahead, of the unknown road. She fears losing Noah to the dark place the war has brought them and losing herself in the mending process. The intensity of their connection is evident when their eyes lock. The only thing that feels definite and keeps them anchored is their link.Reaching for his hand, Rachel softly squeezes it to try to express everything she experiences with one touch. Her voice quakes as she talks; her words are more brittle than she wishes them to be. " Ah, I'm not sure where to start going ahead. I have no idea what to do anymore.Noah's hold gets tighter, and for a split second, she senses the unspoken promise betwe

    CHAPTER 83: THE FINAL PRICE The Sinclairs, their falsehoods, and their decisions have cornered them. One watches every movement they do. Every word counts. Rachel senses the pressure pressing in on her, strangling her, but only one road remains."You know what we have to do, right?" Noah asks, his voice hardly audible but cutting through the suspense like a razor. He glances not at her. His eyes are locked on the door leading to the future, towards the last confrontation—the one they wanted to avoid and the one they had ready.Rachel bites hard, her throat dry. His words weigh heavily, laden with understanding what is at risk. She doubts her readiness for this, from what is implied here. She does not, however, have options. Right now, she cannot back down.Though the words never come from her mouth, Rachel feels she must save him. They are not required, of course. She can feel Noah staring at her without looking. They both are in this, whatever the expense.Rachel moves deliberately

  • Dear Mr. Billionaire, Our Marriage Is Just A Contract   The Final Confrontation

    CHAPTER 82: THE FINAL CONFRONTATION Beside her, Noah's presence acts as a counterpoint. Though he is staring ahead at the home, his jaw shows no discernible movement. Though he is here with her, dedicated to the cause, his muscles stiffen as if he is getting ready for a blow. "Ready?" he asks, his voice low as their goal weighs down both.Rachel nods even if her insides are turning over. She knows the weight of the choice; the stakes are too significant. They have battled for so long only to reach this pivotal point where everything can collapse or unite. It has never been more apparent to see that this is the moment they have been battling for—the one either saving or destroying them. Errors have no place in this. Every action has value.Their footsteps resound in the darkness, the home standing before them like a fortitude as they go on. Here is where everything will change. Not now is there any turning back.But a piercing voice cuts across the silence just as they are ready to ap

    CHAPTER 81: THE TIPPING POINT "It's not just them," he says, his voice tense with something she cannot place. "That's someone within our circle."The words pierce Rachel like a dagger, more keen than she is ready for. Everything they have battled starts to fall apart right from its fundamental basis. She doesn't know who she should be trusting now. They have been fighting the Sinclair family for so long, trying to destroy their empire, but it is now abundantly evident that other people are also tugging the threads. Someone close to them has been planning from the inside, feeding the Sinclairs information, preparing them for failure.Noah's face is harsh and unreadable. The rock is usually consistent in this relationship, but his eyes show doubt tonight. He has never appeared more exposed. Rachel senses the gap separating them growing and the anxiety seeping into the fissures where their trust previously lived.Rachel continues, her voice almost above a whisper: "We have to find out w

    CHAPTER 80: BETRAYAL AND DECEPTION Noah is beside her; his expression is unclear, but his clenched fists say a lot. Every move they have made to free the Sinclair family from their twisted grip on their lives has been deliberate and cautious. However, they have overlooked one essential component: the most trusted individual.Someone they thought was on their side is the traitor. The disclosure stings more fiercely than Rachel had imagined. Her words are almost above a whisper. She looks at Noah. "It was him, not it?"Noah does not respond right away. As his jaw stiffens, Rachel sees a flutter of shame in his eyes for a split second. He was aware already.With shaky hands, Rachel says, "It's been him all along." "How could we have been so blind?"Their world collapsed around them after they trusted and depended on this person. Rachel is sick and feels deceived to a degree she has not known before. Every plan, tactic, and alliance have been lies, expertly crafted to lead directly into

    CHAPTER 79: SINISTER PLOT UNFOLDSNext to her, Noah's voice shakes. " Rachel, we have been pawns here. All this time. And we didn't see it till lately." His comments tether her to the reality of their circumstances and carry weight.Her heart thrashes in her throat. "We cannot turn away from this. We have to wrap up here. But today, we don't know who to trust."Every step they have taken and every strategy they have followed now seems contaminated. Rachel looks towards the darkening horizon, the cold reality sinking into her chest. Are the people they have worked with, the allies they believed they had, really allies or merely additional bits in Sinclair's game? Others are in on this as well.Noah closes his fists, and his wrath is apparent. "We have to call attention to them. Down the family, every last one of them." Frantic, with icy fingers, he grabs her hand. But these days, we cannot accomplish this by ourselves.The sound of tyres screaming breaks the silence—Rachel's gut jerks.
