2021-10-24 20:28:53"What do you mean by that?" She asked. It was getting more and more complicated.
"The literal meaning." He poured her another glass of wine, hoping that would make it easier for her to digest the information. "Before they opted to accept an egg donation, they had decided to adopt a child." He stopped speaking and she couldn't understand why he wouldn't say it all out in one breath. Was he deliberately making her feel anxious? She was yet to ask him when the missing piece of the puzzle fell into place. "Had they decided to adopt Cora?" She asked in horror. "That's right." He affirmed. She ran a hand through her hair. "What? How? I mean…" She downed her wine in two gulps and placed the glass on the table, trying to calm herself down. That was wild. "Hold on. If they wanted to adopt Cora, why didn't they do so in the end?" She asked. "They are the only ones who can tell you that. Potential adRelated chapters

"You are out of your mind." Cora sipped her fruit juice which she claimed to have blended herself using the fruits that she picked from the trees in her compound."That's not an answer." Gemma pushed.Cora remained silent for so long that Gemma was on the verge of giving up."No. I'm not your sister." She finally answered, her voice a mixture of pain and disdain. What was wrong with them being sisters? Gemma wondered. Did the Arnaud family hurt her so much that she hated everything to do with them?She changed her approach, deciding not to sound pushy about it. "All I want to know is why you hate me so much.""If you were in my shoes, would you love you?" Cora swallowed bitterly. "Your parents caused my mother's death."Gemma was taken aback. She was not sure what she had expected to hear but it was definitely not that.She wondered whether Cora would be willing to share more details. She tapped her finger against her th

"Thank you. It's just what I need." She hugged him briefly and entered the cottage.It had been decorated in a modern European style even though it was a country cottage, and the contrast made it even more beautiful.She ran her finger along the edge of the couch but her mind was running wild. Would she really be able to stay for a week before confirming the truth? She was pretty much certain that she would think about it every time she closed her eyes.His arms circled her body and he pulled her against him. "I'll help you forget it." He whispered.And he did help her forget it. Hell, she almost forgot her own name. She had thought it was crap in the past when anyone claimed that sex was the medicine to pretty much everything but after an afternoon of slow, sweet lovemaking and intense orgasms she couldn't count, she was certain that there was nothing it couldn't cure.She couldn't keep count of how many times they had been at it. Was it

Changing the wedding venue didn't take much. They contacted the planner and since it was a small wedding, they were not required to pay any extra cost.Within two days, a truck arrived with everything that was needed for the wedding, except the flowers and the cake. Those would be brought over on the morning of the big day.Gemma thanked Alicia, the planner, when she dropped by to make sure everything was in order."Thank you. We were worried it would be impossible to change the venue when the initial one was decided on such short notice as well." She admitted.Alicia offered a kind smile. "Don't worry. Weddings are my favorite thing ever and it's my dream to make sure every couple gets what they want.""Do they always get what they want, though?" She asked through a slight chuckle. She had never known what it was like to plan a wedding, since her first one was given to an agency she didn't even want, while the second and third were done

"Are you planning on going somewhere?" Livian asked Gemma who had just tried on one of the dresses she packed for their vacation. He was sorting his emails while sitting on the bed.She turned around after sliding it on, showing him her chest area. "I'm trying it on." She didn't tell him the reason."Your boobs have grown bigger." He observed even though she had thought it would be odd to tell him. That confirmed it."Then I really have gained some weight. My goodness, my gown is not going to fit." She mumbled, but he heard her because he was watching her lips as they moved."Why would you be worried? What kind of neckline does it have?" He asked.She wagged her finger in a stern "No." gesture. "I'm not supposed to reveal what my gown looks like before you see it at the wedding. Isn't that why I had it redesigned?""Come on. The rule is for me not to see the gown. Who said anything about mentally picturing it?" He com

The words hit her like a rock. They had found out."What wedding?" She feigned ignorance."Yours with Livian. What other wedding are you planning to hold in secret?" Constance directly called her out on it."It seemed to us like the only way to attend our daughter's wedding is by sneaking to the venue and blending in with the guests so here we are." William added as dramatically as he could, and she was embarrassed."I'm sorry I made you think it was necessary to do that." She apologized. She was still confused. How did they know?"Are you wondering how we knew that you and Livian had lied about being married?" He asked bluntly."That's the question on my mind, yeah." She bit her lip and hoped he was not going to blast her with an answer she was not ready to hear."I knew during your first wedding that the vows were fake." William revealed.Gemma's eyes widened. Just how sharp were their observation skills?

What was she doing here? How did she even get in through security?"Congratulations, Gemma." She whispered."Even though you could be here to finish me off since I have already had a taste of good times?"Cora smiled bitterly. "I actually deserve that."She sighed. "I didn't get to be your maid of honor.""I wasn't going to invite my former friend who had just stabbed me in the back." Gemma deadpanned, not mincing her words. It was lucky that there was no one overhearing their conversation."I deserve that." She smiled. "Can I at least have a dance? We have been friends for a decade after all."Livian tightened his hand around Gemma and pulled her away from Cora. "No. She has been your friend for a decade but you have been using it to get close to her just so you would seek your revenge. It's different.""Okay." Cora did not push it, deciding to leave. She turned around after a few steps. "If you

"You already know everything there is to know about our family." William responded.Gemma stared at him blankly, making him shift in his seat. Was there something he had not told her?"I already know about the past." She stated, making her parents squirm.Constance sat at the edge of her seat. "Gemma, we didn't mean to hide it from you."She exchanged glances with her husband, hoping for him to say something."We shouldn't hide it from her anymore." William sighed, resigning to his fate."Gem, we wanted to tell you this when you were young. But you know what happened soon after your birth." He started. "When we got you back, you wanted nothing to do with us. You would have hated us even more if you knew how we got you.""How exactly did you get me?" She asked, trying to find out if they would be truthful.Constance looked at Livian uncertainly. She thought about it for a while and when she was certain

"She knows better than anyone that what she told you is a lie. How did she even recognize you as our daughter?" Constance asked. She hated Cora for making their daughter misunderstand them. If Gemma had decided to trust her and not ask her family for the truth, that would have caused an unnecessary misunderstanding."I'm not going to let her get away with any of the things she did." William declared."How about we forget all about it?" Gemma held William's hands. "She didn't harm me in the end anyway. And she doesn't plan on doing anything. We can just be wary of her but…""That's not going to happen." William interrupted. Being overly forgiving was like giving someone a bullet to shoot her again, since she missed it the first time.When William and Constance left, Gemma looked at Livian worriedly.He pulled her off the chair and hugged her. "It's for the best.""They have no idea." She was worried. What

Wendy had her eyes shut when he opened the bathroom door."What's the result?" He asked.She didn't intend to tell him without playing a guessing game with him, which he quickly found out. Luckily, it was only a two choice option."Is it positive?" He asked hopefully. She shook her head.His mood dimmed in the slightest but he still asked, "Is it negative?"She shook her head, and he was baffled. Was she going to make him have a gazillion options even though it was a question of yes or no?He tried again. "Were you unable to take the test?"She shook her head to that too, and he was about to ma

It had been several weeks since Mia learned the truth about the past but it was not in the slightest bit easier to bear. It was still hard to imagine that the woman she had hated all her life was also the one who had saved her life. She had not had the courage to tell Carlos about it. Maybe he already knew the truth but kept it to himself. It was probably one of the things that would become clear with time and she was not willing to pry into them before they naturally unfolded. It made her feel guiltier because they were growing closer by the day.They had agreed to be friends but spent a lot of time together, doing things that friends definitely wouldn't ever do—not that she was complaining.On Friday evening, she went to his office as soon as she clocked out. This was how it had been for weeks. He would either seek her or she would seek him, every day. They would either have dinner together or he would drop her off. On weekends—like today—they would coo

“What in the world…” Gemma was rendered speechless by the insanity she had just heard. “Why the hell would such a rule even exist?”The elderly lawyer had no definite answer to that, because it was not he who had written the will nor had he set the rules that his granddaughter was finding absurd. He could only hypothesize. “The old man didn't want his bloodline to go extinct. He had to set some rules, and you are lucky that he did not specify that you must have a son before inheriting his estate.”Gemma sighed when she imagined that such a thing was possible. She had not known her grandfather when he was alive, because her family was yet to find her when he passed away. From the tales she had heard about him from her parents and grandmother, she knew that setting such an absurd rule did sound like something he would do.Even so, it still made no sense when she thought about it. “But I'm a w

Mia translated the document and while she didn't think there was anything secretive about it that would make Carlos unable to give it to someone else, she got the work done within the deadline nonetheless. It was the only way to get him to stop seeking trouble. She hated having to do everything he asked of her but he was the boss and there was nothing she could do about it. At least not yet.He was still sitting at his desk when she returned."That took you half an hour,." He remarked when he saw her.She placed the folder on his desk. "I'm done." She muttered, wondering why he sounded like he was complaining when he had given her two hours. She had not even taken up half of the allocated time. Was he going to scold her for being too fast?"Thank you." He half whispered. It was the first time he was appreciating anything she did and she was baffled."You're welcome." She smiled. He was smiling back at her and for the first time as well. She not

She thought he would ask to spend more days of the week with her or something along the lines but what he said surprised her."Promise me that you will sue Declan and that you will definitely go through with it no matter what happens."She frowned. "How is that paying you back? It's in my favor either way." She looked at him in confusion. Did he have a misunderstanding about the meaning of paying back?"It does pay me back. It's a win-win situation for both you and me."She thought hard about it and still couldn't understand how that was remotely possible."Is it because the man who hurt the woman you love will be behind bars and you will no longer have to see his face around? or, do you have personal grudges with him? Are you planning to use his term in prison as a way to end him?He smiled at her vivid imagination. "It's nothing of the sort. Well, those would be added benefits of putting him behind bars but the main reaso

"You are so beautiful." Livian ran his hand down her shoulder and kissed her cheek. She would have thought that he was just saying it to get on her good side but when she met his gaze, she had to believe that he truly meant it. His eyes were filled with adoration and if it was humanly possible, his attraction for her seemed to have intensified after what they had just done.She purred like a comfortable kitten when he kissed her cheek. She was lying against his chest with her body half sprawled against his. She pulled her knee up against his thigh and it drove him crazy. He groaned in pleasure."You are insatiable." She chuckled. They had done it twice in a row and she was beginning to realize that it didn't take much for him to be hard again.He wrapped his arms around her waist and chuckled against her neck. "Who am I to blame for that? If the wife is too sweet, is it the husband's fault that he got addicted to her sweetness?"She looked

Liam and Wendy had a shotgun wedding and it was baffling to everyone. The first thing they had to do was fulfill a part of the contract, which was for Wendy to make an appearance in the Dumont family as his wife.Their plan was to pass off as a real couple but they were shocked when they found out that Gemma was not falling for it."The two of you broke up two years ago, didn't you?" She questioned them."We reconciled and realized that we didn't want to risk losing each other again, so we decided to get married." Liam held her hand.Gemma chuckled. "Or, Liam had his assistant get him a suitable wife for hire so he would be able to access the trust fund from his great grandmother and since his assistant couldn't get a suitable woman, you decided that it would be more believable if it was you and him getting married." Gemma teased."That's not…" Wendy didn't know how to defend herself."It's okay. It's perfectly

She was certain that if she chose to agree to the contract marriage, the money she would earn would be enough to pay all her debts including her rent. Forget paying rent. Even if she wanted to purchase the entire estate and kick the landlady out of the apartment complex, she would have the power to do so.She was only in such a predicament because she had a falling out with her parents and decided to leave.It was impossible to count the number of bosses and managers who had tried to take advantage of their position to sexually harass her.Even so, she did not regret her decision, nor was she going to bend her will for that man. She shrugged. Many of her problems would be solved once she received her salary from the diner.After eating her snacks, she took a shower and prepared to go to bed.…It was already 7pm and the traffic couldn't get any crazier. Wendy was already an hour late for her evening shift and she kne
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 166
Evenings were the busiest time of the day at the diner and when Wendy was finally done with her work for the day, it was already 7pm. Even so, she couldn't leave until her replacement who would be working the night shift arrived since it was a 24 hour restaurant.She glanced at her pocket watch in irritation. Alma, that bitch, was late again. What irked her was the fact that she knew Alma disliked her and she was doing it on purpose like she always did whenever she had to take over the night shift from Wendy.Clara had already changed out of her work uniform and sent it to the laundry, so she was ready to go. She offered a smile at Wendy as she made her way towards the back door. "Want to go home together? My boyfriend will pick me up. We can give you a ride. Go on and change, I'll wait for you."Wendy looked up from the orders she was preparing for a couple and their daughter, returning the smile. "It's alright. I'll take the subway." She was gratef
