2024-10-29 19:42:56"How dare they!" Livian exploded. He suddenly wished Ethan was alive so he would kill him all over again. No matter how he died, it wasn't enough to make up for what he did. How heartless did he have to be to kill an unborn baby so coldly?
Gemma looked up and met his gaze. "I couldn't stand him anymore. Every time I saw him, I felt my blood boil in anger. I couldn't believe that the man I thought was the love of my life was also the one who killed my baby. I didn't want to keep Declan's baby for obvious reasons but that didn't give him any right to murder it. I should have been the one to make the decision myself." Her expression turned stern and she took a deep breath. "I couldn't let him off for what he did. I could forget about his constant cheating but this…"Livian knew where it was heading but he continued listening nonetheless. It was as though he was sitting on the edge of his seat. "I spend an entire week in distRelated chapters

"What do you mean?" A chill went down Gemma's spine from what he had just said. Was he dreaming? At first she thought he was pranking her to gauge her reaction but when their gazes collided and she saw that he meant it, she was speechless. Her mouth opened and closed several times but she couldn't get a word out.She burst into laughter.He held her face in his hands and looked at her worriedly. "Are you alright?""I am. I mean, why not?" She laughed hysterically for a while then closed her eyes when reality started to sink in.Was the hitman really Noah?They were required to not see the other party in case either of them was caught. Who would have thought that the hitman she would get on the dark web would turn out to be Noah?Was that what he did for a living? Or, was it because he already knew what she was planning that he made himself available? Now that he thought about it, the hitman she hired did seem a little

"Is this why you claimed not to love me?" Livian asked when he thought about it. It finally made sense."What are you talking about?" She frowned.He flipped her over so she was lying against his lap, then he slapped her butt."Did you just spank me?" She yelped in surprise and turned to face him with a whimper. "What was that for?""That was for you lying to me." He spanked her again."I don't know what you're talking about." She purred, only for his hand to land on her backside again."Can you swear that you don't feel anything for me?" He demanded."I…" She couldn't say such a thing out loud. At first she was certain that she would never fall in love but since she met Livian again, she had been feeling things that she would only feel for a man she loved. She didn't just want his body. She wanted to spend time with him as well, and the thought of having to divorce at the end of their agreement beca

"I could help you out." She offered.He held both of her hands and brought them to his mouth, pressing gentle kisses on them. "You don't have to. I can handle it on my own.""Why would you handle it on your own when you have me? You have always done your best to help me when I need it." She ran a hand down his chest to convince him. She meant well, but he frowned as though she had said the worst thing ever. She was confused.He flipped her under him and grabbed her boob, kneading it slightly. "I helped you out because I wanted to. You don't have to feel obliged to return the favor.""Don't put it that way." She bit her bottom lip when his hand trailed down her body. "I would have wanted to even if you hadn't ever done anything for me. You can take it as payment for helping me with the commercial."He had almost forgotten all about the commercial since the photoshoot had been postponed indefinitely. They both thought it wou

Gemma's mood was ruined since Yvonne's appearance. For some strange reason, she had left as soon as she ordered her to leave and that in itself was bizarre. How could she have come all the way to Gem Bliss if she didn't intend to cause any significant trouble? There had to be something else to it and Gemma felt worse than she did earlier.Cora had arrived when she went back to her office."I managed to talk Mr. Ricci into proceeding with the meeting as previously planned. He wasn't even attending to a family emergency. It was just a lie and he was probably intending to keep cancelling it until you gave up." Cora reported as she placed a file on Gemma's desk."You're a lifesaver. Thank you." Gemma smiled at the fact that the latter had changed the situation within the few minutes it had taken her to shoo Yvonne away."Are you alright?" Cora asked. "You have been acting strange since you met Yvonne."Gemma slapped her forehead and

"Do you think you can do it?" She asked, hoping she had done the right thing. "If you don't want to, you can let father know when he contacts you or I can pass him the message."A hint of a smile formed on his face. "The Serene, huh."She looked at him in confusion. Was there something wrong with The Serene?"The former owner of The Serene once sought me to construct the musical-themed banquet hall." He responded, and she was even more confused."Is there a reason why you didn't? Is there something wrong with the hotel? Oh my God, please don't tell me father wasted his time and money?""Relax, he didn't." He chuckled at the misunderstanding he had just caused. "The former owner, Mr. Bueno, was unnecessarily hard to please. I told him that The Dumont Group could only complete the hall in three and a half months but he wanted it done within three months. According to him, two weeks would be too long for him to wait."Ge

Yvonne observed the changes in his expressions and found him silly. No wonder Gemma managed to trap him so easily. There was nothing smart about that woman. It was her targets who were just too easy to be dealt with. Meeting Noah proved that all the more."What's it gonna be? Are you going to take the risk and gain some benefits or will you remain here and wait for that woman to have someone chop your tongue off or murder you so you cannot say a word against her to anyone?" She asked with a slight taunt to her tone."What makes you think she could do any of those things? She could have done it already if she had any such plans. What if I have already spilled the beans if there is any to be spilled? She is not stupid." He countered."If she is not stupid, then the last thing she would do is make herself the prime suspect of another murder related to the Black family. It's already suspicious that her husband died in their marital home and she would be behind

Livian knew what William was thinking from his expression. He looked at him and didn't say anything to retaliate. He knew that he couldn't be trusted either. After all, he had deceived the woman he loved to be close to her instead of going the normal way and confessing his feelings to her then slowly winning her heart."I'll have my assistant send you my portfolio. About Gemma, you can be rest assured that I would never do anything to hurt her." He promised, putting more emphasis on the second part of his statement than the first.William scanned him with interest. "This is not the first time I'm hearing those exact words—that someone wouldn't do anything to hurt my Gemma. You better keep your promise." He warned."I'm a man of my word." Livian packed up his tablet since they were done negotiating. "I'll send you an email to let you know of every significant step we make."…After his meeting with Livian, Will
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 83
"Oh my God!" Gemma's heart raced. She wanted to kill her aunt more than she did a moment ago. How could she be so heartless as to do that to a fellow woman? Wasn't she scared that she would receive retribution when she got pregnant herself?William was on the verge of breaking down once again as he recounted the past. "Luckily, she did not bump into anything sharp or too hard but when she fell, she started bleeding."Gemma's eyes widened. "Was the baby okay?" She reflexively asked, forgetting that the said baby was her and being alive meant she had survived it in the end.William did not find her reaction odd. For years, he felt his heart leave his body every time he thought back to that day."I was called back home and I rushed her to hospital. Luckily, I had placed a watch on her wrist that would notify me in case her heartbeat got significantly faster or slower. I would have killed myself if I was too late to save her." He swallowed a h

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
Evil Contract Wife CHAPTER 173
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
