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—keepinRelated chapters

"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."
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 45
"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
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 47
"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

"You better be telling us the truth. If I learn that you are trying to cover up for a scumbag by lying in his favor, I will not be happy about it." William warned for the umpteenth time. He didn't completely believe the tale that Gemma had woven about Livian wanting to be a model in disguise.She laughed awkwardly. "There is nothing else to it." She was not nearly as professional at lying as Livian was so she hoped she would not forget her lie and end up exposing the truth at the most unexpected time. When she was young, she liked sneaking out of the orphanage to play outside but every time the director asked her where she had been, she would tell a lie.She soon discovered that she was lying so one day, she tested Gemma by asking if she enjoyed her time at the ancient city library. When she said that she had never been to the ancient library, she called her out on the lie she had told four days ago.Since then, Gemma would write her lies down
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 49
Gemma had her chauffeur enter Livian's location and they set off to find him. Halfway through the ride, a strange feeling settled in the pit of her stomach. What if they went all the way to find him and he had already left? It was not impossible considering she had ghosted him for hours. He wouldn't be to blame for seeking help elsewhere either.She should be happy for him if someone else helped him but instead, the thought left a bitter taste in her mouth. She inwardly cursed and scolded herself for being unreasonable. Why should he keep waiting for her?"Do you think we can go any faster?" She asked the chauffeur for the umpteenth time."We are already at the speed limit, ma'am. We will waste a lot of time if we get an overspeeding ticket." He responded regrettably before glancing at the map. "Don't worry, we will be there soon."She relaxed a little at his words and tried not to think about Livian. She should be focusing on the scenery.
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 50
Livian spun with Gemma in his arms and trapped her between the trunk of the car and his body."Livian…" her tone was full of complaint as she wanted him to keep holding her, to grind against her core like he was doing before he put her down. It felt so great that she thought she would come undone from the sensation.He gathered her hands behind her back and restrained them with one hand as the other cupped her face. He traced his thumb against her lips that were swollen from the ferocity of his kiss. "Did you dress up for me?" He asked.She hesitated and shook her head. "No.""No?" He chuckled as his fingers traced down her jaw, to her neck. He held her head back and found the front of her neck, kissing and sucking on it until she gasped."Your body tells me a different story." He taunted before his head sunk into her chest. He kissed the exposed part of her boobs and nipped it, sending a pleasurable shiver down her spine
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 51
"Okay." She tilted her head ready to listen to him. He knew for a fact that it wouldn't be two minutes before she interrupted him. Heck, it wouldn't be thirty seconds.He let out a breath and did everything to stop himself from kissing those pretty lips that looked tempting in her adorable pout. "This is about ten years ago.""I'm not talking about that." She retorted. It hadn't even been ten seconds."Gemma?" He raised an eyebrow to remind her that she had promised to be quiet until he was done speaking. He knew that this was hard for her. It was her sore spot and hell, he wanted to never mention it. However, he knew the consequences of not having this conversation so he was not going to let her speak. Because if she did, it would turn into an argument.She nodded and zipped her mouth but she was uncomfortable. The fact that she was ready to listen was a good sign so he continued."I'll start from the day when my adorable

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
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 168
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
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
