2024-10-29 19:42:56"I'm glad you came." His voice was almost a whisper when he spoke.
She glared daggers at him and sat opposite him. If she could, she would have remained standing but heaven knew what the man before her was planning. He might just refuse to collaborate with her if she pushed him too hard. "Let's forget all about our personal matters for a while and discuss business, shall we?" He suggested. "Fair enough." She was slightly relieved. If they were setting their personal matters aside, then he was not going to let what happened a decade ago determine his decision to sell the shares to her. She couldn't entirely trust him so she didn't allow herself to be too hopeful about it, letting her mind think of ways to counter him in case he acted up. She wouldn't put it past him. "Scratch that. We cannot completely get rid of our personal matters when discussing this." He said, barely a heartbeat after making the damned suggestion. She rolled her eyes.

"I'll drop you off." He offered when she announced that she had to leave.She grabbed her purse. "You don't need to. My friend is waiting for me." She refrained from saying that she wouldn't want to be in the same car as him even if she didn't have Cora and four bodyguards waiting. The last thing she wanted was to be in the same confined space as him. It was the most brainless thing to do considering what might happen.Thinking about how she had let him drop her to and from work a few times, spent time with him and freely let him into her room, she wanted to give herself a piece of her mind. Heck, she had even shared an overly intimate moment with him, when it was just the two of them in the main mansion. He would have harmed her if he wanted to.It made her start to overthink once again. If he was the same demon that had shown his claws ten years ago, where did those claws disappear to? She was certain that a person's nature could never change. Stra

Gemma wanted to roll her eyes at him. He was taking advantage of this but she couldn't say she blamed him."Fine. I'll see you tomorrow at 6pm. Don't try anything funny." She warned him strictly.A chuckle reverberated through her earpiece. "I don't know what funny thing you think I want to try but don't worry about it. I know better than to piss you off."She was relieved when she hung up. She tried not to think about him but actually keeping him out of her thoughts was a different story altogether. She couldn't focus on anything else. Everything she tried to think about ended up conjuring images of him. She had married her enemy. She had actually married her enemy. Was she insane!___Ten years ago.Gemma jolted from her nightmare and patted her chest in horror. She was drenched in cold sweat from what felt like a whole night of fighting a beast who had tried to gobble her up. She could still feel the beast's fingers on her face even thoug

The restaurant they met at was as its busiest at around 6pm. It was so noisy that one had to lean over the table and shout for the other to hear them. Even then, it would require the listener to know how to read lips so they would fully understand what their companion was saying. Livian's brows scrunched in displeasure as he looked at her as if asking why the hell she had to choose this, when there were so many restaurants in the city.She chuckled with a shrug and because it was too noisy for him to hear anything if she explained, she wrote a text message.[We are here to eat, not to talk.]As if that had not done enough to piss him off, she added, [And for you to sign this.]She watched him read the text messages then glance at the contract she had just slid over the table at him. He looked unhappy but signed it anyway, before replying that she was insane. She chuckled in amusement. If she knew that it felt so good to annoy him, she would have done
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 43
Ten years ago.Being in Livian's house even after announcing her intention to leave was making her more anxious than the thought of leaving did. She didn't know what she would do once she left. Would she be employed somewhere else?She was certain that she needed to go to college before she qualified for anything that she could be proud of but that in itself was an unattainable dream. She had saved a lot of money while working for Livian—he had been overpaying her and she was painfully aware of that—but it would not be able to pay for her college tuition fees as well as secure her a place to stay.Nonetheless, she couldn't continue to live off of a man she was neither related to nor close friends with, which was basically what she had been doing since announcing her intention to quit. Livian rarely came home and when he did, she would not even notice it. He ate out or cooked his own quick meals, leaving her with only one role—keepin

"I don't understand what you are talking about."She looked up until their eyes met and hers were filled in disbelief. He didn't just say that, did he? Well, yes he did! He just denied what he did to her that night!Her shock quickly morphed into disbelief and the tears that were threatening to fall magically dried up. Shockingly, it was almost as if all she wanted was the confirmation that he would never own up to his actions.Her stomach was in knots when she took a breath. "I should have expected that. You got rid of the scar. Of course you would erase the memory of what you did and pretend none of it happened. But do you know what my life was like after that?"His brows were drawn in confusion until he understood what she was talking about and his heart clenched. He reached to grab her hand but she swatted his away."Don't touch me!" She took a huge step back. "I just wanted you to know that I wasn't too drunk to remember."

"What do you really want?" She didn't believe that they had thought things through and were here to make amends. They would die before doing that and even if they came back to life afterwards, they would still think she was the villain."We want to reconcile with you." Olivia lied. "I didn't know any of the things my son did to you. I only recently found out that I had been blaming the victim for all these years.""Ha." Gemma chuckled and grabbed her coffee which Cora had kept away, which she sipped as she watched this ridiculous show. Cora looked like she was ready to make popcorn.'Make some for me too, please.' She thought.What exactly was Olivia expecting? That she would go down on her knees and apologize for torturing them? Fat chance."You didn't know what your son did to me? You had no idea that he was cheating on me when he brought his girlfriend to you for an introduction? Are you not the one who advised him to set me

"Sir, I've found something related to what you asked me to investigate." Darrell reported over the phone when Livian was on his way to his old home."Speak." He demanded almost impatiently."Ten years ago on the night before Gemma was to leave, someone did indeed break into your house."Livian gritted his teeth in annoyance. "I know that. Isn't that why I asked you to investigate? I want details. Tell me who broke into my house, at what time they got in and what time they left. Before you get that information, don't call me about it.""Yes sir.""Tell me about it in two days." He hung up. He knew that Darrell was questioning his decision to continue working for him. He had just indirectly given him two days to investigate everything.He knew that it was too soon but he couldn't help it. He couldn't let Gemma continue to think that he was a scumbag, and he could not let the real scumbag continue to live, probably having the

"What are you talking about?" He grabbed Declan's collar.Although his collar had been grabbed, Declan laughed like a maniac. He was completely unfazed. "I can't believe she didn't tell you. I thought the little maid was loyal to you. It turns out she is loyal to no one but herself."Livian squeezed the idiot's neck in fury."Go ahead and kill me. Then you will never know what happened." Declan shrugged as if being choked didn't matter.It wasn't only about the maid. If Charles were to see this kind of scene and think Livian had a motive to murder his brother, the result would be entertaining.Seeing the sinister smirk on his half brother's face, Livian realized that it was a trap but he didn't care. "Speak!" He roared."Are you going to kill your brother for her? She isn't even a good lay anyway. She's a dead fish."Livian punched him before he could let out the next part of his taunt. He didn't hear any more of

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
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 167
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

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
