CHAPTER 39.Andrianne's heart raced as she thought about the consequences of Steve being fired. She knew her father too well and his motives for hiring Steve in the first place. Her father was a powerful man, and she knew he had a lot of connections. She feared that if Steve was fired, her father would get someone else to replace him, someone who might not have her best interests at heart. Andrianne quickly came to her senses, realizing that having Steve as her bodyguard was her best chance at staying safe."Lucas, please don't fire Steve," Andrianne pleaded with him, her voice trembling slightly.Lucas looked at her with a mixture of concern and confusion. "Andrianne, I don't understand. You seemed so unhappy with Steve earlier. Why do you suddenly want him to stay?"Andrianne took a deep breath and tried to explain her fears to Lucas. "My father is a dangerous man. He hired Steve for a reason, and if he's fired, my father will just find someone else to replace him. I don't trust any

CHAPTER 40.As they walked into the dining hall, Andrianne couldn't help but be amazed by the sight before her. The table was beautifully set with a variety of delicious-looking dishes, fruits, and drinks."Wow, Lucas, this looks amazing," she said, her eyes widening in surprise and delight."I'm glad you like it," Lucas replied, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips.Andrianne took a seat at the table, still in awe of the spread of food before her. Lucas took a seat across from her and began to serve them both. Andrianne watched as he expertly plated different dishes and couldn't help but notice how graceful and precise his movements were.As they began to eat, Andrianne couldn't help but let out a small moan of pleasure at the first bite of the delicious food. Lucas grinned at her reaction, clearly pleased with her response."Is it good?" he asked, taking a bite of his own food."It's amazing," she said, grinning back at him.As they ate, Andrianne couldn't help but feel

CHAPTER 41.As the night wore on, Lucas and Andrianne settled into the couch to watch a movie together. It was a romantic comedy, but neither of them paid much attention to it. They were more interested in the fact that they were sitting together, alone, in the quiet of the night.Andrianne snuggled into Lucas' side, feeling safe and secure. She had always been attracted to him physically, but until now she had never allowed herself to indulge in those feelings. Now, with him so close, she couldn't help but feel drawn to him.As the credits rolled on the TV screen, Andrianne and Lucas sat in silence, each lost in their own thoughts. The movie they had watched was an emotional one and it had left them both feeling drained. Finally, Lucas broke the silence."That was a good movie," he said, turning his head to look at Andrianne. "Thanks for suggesting it."Andrianne smiled back at him. "I'm glad you liked it," she said. "It's one of my favorites."Lucas stood up and stretched his arms.

Chapter 42As Andrianne walked towards the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee, she was startled when she heard the door open. She turned around to see Steve, her ex-college boyfriend and current bodyguard, walk in. His face was twisted in anger, and Andrianne could feel her heart rate quicken in response."What are you doing here, Steve?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady."I came to get you back," he said, his voice laced with bitterness. "I saw you last night with that guy, Lucas. You're supposed to be with me, Andrianne."Andrianne felt her blood boil at his words. "Lucas is my husband, Steve," she said firmly. "Even if it is a contracted marriage, we have an agreement. And you have no right to come here and demand anything from me."Steve's expression darkened even further. "I have every right," he said, taking a step closer to her. "I love you, Andrianne. I've loved you since college. Don't you remember?"Andrianne shook her head, trying to push the memories of thei

As Andrianne reached her house, she quickly got out of her car and walked to the door. Her heart was still pounding from her conversation with Jackie. She was trying her best to push the conversation to the back of her mind, but it kept nagging at her.As she opened the door to her house, she was about to ascend the stairs when her eyes caught something. Something that sent a shiver down her spine. It was a small camera, hidden in the corner of the room. Andrianne gasped and walked closer to it, trying to process what she was seeing.Suddenly, she realized that this was not an isolated incident. She felt like she was being watched, monitored, and spied upon. Andrianne felt a wave of anger wash over her as she realized that the only person who could be responsible for this was Steve.She walked around the room, checking every nook and cranny, and to her utter shock, she found cameras hidden in places she couldn't have imagined. She felt violated and angry. How could someone she trusted

As Andrianne left the coffee shop, Steve sat there for a moment, his mind racing with thoughts of the past and the present. He couldn't believe that Andrianne was married to Lucas, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy at the thought. He knew he had no right to feel that way, but he couldn't help it.As he sat there lost in thought, his phone rang, and he saw that it was Lucas calling. He hesitated for a moment before answering, unsure of what to expect."Hello?" he answered tentatively."Steve, it's Lucas. Can you meet me at my office in half an hour?" Lucas said in his usual authoritative tone.Steve was taken aback by the request, but he knew he couldn't refuse. "Uh, yeah, sure. I'll be there."Lucas hung up without another word, leaving Steve feeling even more unsure of what was to come. He finished his coffee and left the coffee shop, making his way to Lucas's office.When he arrived, he was greeted by Lucas's assistant, who directed him to Lucas's private office. As h

As he sat back in his chair, he thought about the situation with Andrianne. He couldn't help but feel jealous about Steve and his connection with Andrianne. He didn't want to admit it, but he knew that he had feelings for her. Even though their marriage was only a contract, he found himself caring for her more than he had intended to.Lucas knew that he had to do something to keep Andrianne safe, especially with the recent discovery of the hidden cameras in her house. He couldn't risk anything happening to her, not after everything they had been through.With a heavy sigh, Lucas leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples. He needed to clear his head and come up with a plan to protect Andrianne. He couldn't let his jealousy and feelings get in the way of her safety.As Lucas finished up his work for the day, he shut down his computer and packed his briefcase, ready to head home. He stood up from his desk and stretched his arms and legs, feeling the tension in his muscles release.

As the sun rose above the horizon, the world slowly awakened from its slumber. The morning dew glistened like a million tiny diamonds on the grass, the scent of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, and the birds chirped their sweet melodies, signaling the start of a new day.She rubbed her bleary eyes, blinking blearily at the bright sunlight that streamed through the window, and let out a deep sigh. It was 6 a.m, early enough to make breakfast for Lucas, her contracted husband, but she felt as if she hadn't slept at all.Andrianne tossed and turned on the soft, inviting mattress, her mind buzzing with a million thoughts and worries. She couldn't seem to shake off the restlessness that had plagued her all night, and as the blaring sound of her alarm jolted her awake, she groaned inwardly, knowing that she had another day to face.She rubbed her bleary eyes, blinking blearily at the bright sunlight that streamed through the window, and let out a deep sigh. It was 6 a.m, early
