CHAPTER 58
"Fine. Two nights." She conceded and pulled her face away from him. She swallowed as she tried to convince herself that she was agreeing to it because Livian's influence on the market would be worth it, and it had nothing to do with her wanting to be in his bed. She couldn't decieve herself for a second. Her agreeing to be in his bed had nothing to do with the commercial.
"However, Mr. Dumont," She cleared the nonsense out of her mind to focus on business. "Having the CEO of Gem Bliss in your bed is too much for an anonymous commercial. You will have to show your face." "I was starting to wonder what happened to my Gemma who wouldn't back down without a bargain." He smiled. She smirked in triumph. "I'll take that as a yes. Cora will send you the shooting schedule." "Will you accompany me to the shooting studio?" He asked. When she shook her head, he crossed his arms. "I'm photophobic. I cannot have pictures of me taken in your absence."&nbRelated chapters

She forced herself out of bed. Heaven knew she wanted nothing more than to continue sleeping but she couldn't. This was not her bed and she was the one who had made it clear that she didn't want to be in his bed aside from the two days she had agreed to. Was it too late to take that back?"I'll wash my face and join you." She muttered as she rubbed her eyes."Okay." He said but continued standing in place. She returned from the bathroom a few minutes later, her hair as neat as it was because she made a mess of it earlier and the clothes on her body straightened out. He liked her messy look a little more but there wasn't much difference.In his shirt and boxer briefs, she looked nothing like the workaholic CEO she had become over the years. She was a lot like the little Gem he knew, tame, adorable and lovely. He loved both versions of her but this was easier to coax.He took her hand and led her out of the room."I made a mess of

He wrapped his arms around her and rested her head on his shoulder. Her eyes shut for a second before she forcefully opened them."I want one more." She purred.He leaned down and kissed her lips. Her eyes flew open."I'm not asking for that! Though I could use one of those too." She whined.He smiled and kissed her again, then he carried her in his arms and took her to her room."Let's go to sleep. We can watch as many as we want on Friday night." He promised."Mmh." She hummed."Don't watch them on your own before Friday. We can only watch them together." He instructed, and she hummed again.

She searched around and couldn't find them. She couldn't possibly tear down the closet to look for them because she knew that they wouldn't be there. Could they have accidentally been carried along with his dirty laundry?She slapped her forehead at the thought. What was she thinking, taking off her panties in a man's mansion? He could…Her cheeks flushed when the thought registered itself. He couldn't possibly steal them, right? What would he even do with a woman's underwear? Maybe he needed them to know the size of her underwear when he ordered her clothes. That was what she wanted to think, but she didn't believe a word of it either. Her mind thought back to how deep his voice sounded when he spoke a moment ago. Was he really jerking off in the shower? If he was, were her panties in his hands?She should have felt repulsed at the thought. Creeped out, even. But on the contrary, the thought of him fondling her panties in his hands, probably

"You don't need to worry about anything. You only need to make an appearance and that will be it." He tried to coax her.He made sense but she frowned. "You know that I was not on friendly terms with your family ten years ago. I didn't leave under friendly circumstances either."He laughed at her excuse. "Do you think they would still hold a grudge against you for something that happened so long ago? How childish would that be? Not only was it not worth a grudge, but it was also their fault that you left. I couldn't leave you there and let my mother continue to hit and abuse you, now could I?"When he put it that way, she felt her worries were unfounded. "What if we don't get along?"She knew he was frowning even though she couldn't see him."Gemma, you are married to me, not them. Why are you worried so much about their opinion? I only want you to meet them to confirm that the rumors they have heard are true. I wasn't planning
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 63
"Did you miss me?" He taunted.Her body went limp and she would have collapsed if she didn't have the wall to support her. It was him! It was definitely him!"What? Are you afraid of facing me?" He chuckled.She was on the verge of breaking down but she knew that letting him know that his presence was getting to her was the worst thing she could do. So, she kept her stance."If there is anyone who should be afraid of seeing the other, it should be you." She feigned nonchalance. All those years of faking confidence while facing business partners who intimidated her were beginning to pay off."Is that so?" He leaned against the wall, looking down at her like she was an ant. "Well, you are right. I should watch out for knives."The mention of knives made a chill go down her spine. Her entire body trembled as her head buzzed. She had thought that the worst day was the day reality sunk in and she had to face it but she had been

"It should be recent." He looked at her then at Olivia and understood what she was speculating. It didn't make sense that Olivia had said the very thing that Beth said earlier. It was as though they had discussed it!"Your very good, innocent son?" Livian burst into laughter.Olivia let out a sigh of relief thinking she had averted the crisis but when she wasn't watching, Gemma and Livian exchanged a knowing glance."I thought you were trying to act like a goodie two shoes and regain my trust, Livie." Gemma winked as she made fun of her.Seeming to realize what she was doing, Olivia's face paled. She then made a show of being emotional and burst into crocodile tears. "My eldest son is dead and not long after his death, my second son was imprisoned. It's as if my family is falling apart. How do you think I feel about this?"Gemma gave Livian a sidelong glance and her mouth twitched. "Is this the part where I'm supposed to take out my h

"That's not the kind of reaction you should be having!" Cora screeched.Gemma massaged her temples that were starting to throb from her friend's insanity. Could she lower her voice a little? It was still so early in the morning and she needed to sleep some more!"How should I react?" She asked, desperate for this to end already."Like you're fazed." Cora glared at her like it should be obvious.She slid out of bed and threw her pillow at Cora while at it, punishing her for disturbing her peace so early in the morning. "What if I'm not?""Huh?" Cora looked confused for a while. She picked up the pillow that had fallen thanks to the force with an eye roll. She threw it back onto the bed along with the comforter while forbidding Gemma from going back to sleep. "Unless you have a hand in this and know how to handle this, you should be finding a solution to end the rumors. How about I meet with the CEO of Cruise Media? I could get hi
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 66
Her mind went blank. Did he just say he knew what really happened to Ethan? How could he know? Know one knew about it. Her shocked eyes met his and he smiled. Was he seriously making fun of her?"Don't worry. We are not talking about Ethan right now. We are discussing Sofia." He teased her by tapping her nose with his forefinger.She forced a smile and took a bite of a cookie, which tasted somewhat like medicine, bitter and unbearable, but she had to eat it out of necessity. She couldn't go through a whole day of hard work without eating. She wouldn't have the strength to do so.He was observing her from the corner of his eye and reached over to pet her hair. "Don't be nervous. I really won't bring him up in circumstances that don't need him. You can be certain of that." He promised.She was far from relieved. "How the hell am I supposed to take that to heart? Who else knows about it?""No one. It's between you and me." He looke
