CHAPTER 84
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56After having a lengthy heart-to-heart with her father, Gemma had a grasp of what happened in the past. She thought about everything in detail and something didn't make sense. "What does my uncle's family have to do with anything regarding making sure you didn't find me?" She asked.
He let out a bitter smile. "They somehow found out that I was looking for you. They did everything in their power to sabotage our search and that was not limited to making us hit dead ends. It's a pleasant surprise that we found you before they killed you."
His choice of words was a bit harsh but true nonetheless. There was no mild way of putting it.
"Why did they remain indifferent for all these years? Haven't I been a member of the Arnaud family all along?" She asked, and found the answer before he could open his mouth

The next evening, Gemma slipped into Livian's mansion before he left work. She deliberately asked him to help her go through a contract she had already read, just to stall for time. The man had given her access to his mansion and at the time, she thought he was crazy. She never would have thought that it would be useful soon after. She went to the kitchen and thought through all the foods she was good with.Finding a recipe and trying out something new wasn't hard but since she was doing this for Livian for the first time, she wanted to guarantee that it would be perfect. Luckily, she was good in the kitchen even though it had been ages since she had the urge to cook.She draped an apron on and started picking out ingredients. She wasn't certain what Livian was in the mood for but one thing was for sure. He would love whatever she cooked. She didn't want to entirely take advantage of that so she chose what he liked.She started by baking lemon bluebe

She winked at him and giggled when she saw his expression turn sour. It was obvious that he knew he was about to be turned down. "You can have me but only after having the tart." She deadpanned.He looked at her like he had been bullied and grabbed her by the waist, nuzzling his nose against her neck. "That's not fair." It was already bad enough that she looked this delicious. With her smelling so seductive, how was he expected to wait until they ate? If he thought that was the most torturing part of it, he had something else coming his way."It's as fair as I can be." She sat beside him instead of opposite him, and crossed her legs in a way that made the skirt of her dress ride higher up. It revealed more of her soft, creamy skin and his dick twitched in anticipation at the beautiful sight.She didn't let him touch her throughout the meal and he could only try his best to focus on the steak on his plate. That failed miserably, of course. How could h

"If it's up to me, I would like us to nullify the contract." She continued.His lips moved for a while before he finally formed a word. "What?"She sighed while drawing circles on his chest. "I'll be straightforward. You're a great man, Livian."He grabbed her hand. "Not that. Please."She looked into his eyes. "Let me finish." Although he was reluctant, he could only shut his mouth and let her speak.She held his gaze as she continued. "You are kind, loyal, truthful, would do anything for the people you love, not to mention, you are handsome and good in bed. What else would a woman ever ask for?" She spoke, which confused him. Was she praising or ditching him? Was this the legendary it's not you, it's me?She played with his fingers before intertwining them with hers. "Well, maybe there are women who would need much more than that but you are all I need."He was officially confused. What was she saying? Although

When Gemma finally got to work, Cora entered her office and stared at her as if she wanted to say something but couldn't say it for some reason."Why are you looking at me that way?" Gemma asked her. "No. Don't tell me there's another piece of bad news because I'm in such a good mood that I don't want it ruined."Cora smiled subtly and closed in before taking a seat opposite Gemma. "Why are you in a good mood?" Cora asked through a laugh. Before Gemma could answer, her phone rang. It didn't take long for Cora to figure out who was calling. From Gemma's goofy smile, it definitely had to be Livian."My love!" She answered jovially like a teenager receiving the first call from her first crush. The phone was not on speaker but the call volume was loud enough for Cora to overhear their conversation.Livian sounded joyous after hearing what Gemma had just called him. "I sent you the divorce papers."As if on cue, a knock resounded on

In the afternoon, Gemma called Livian when she was about to leave work. He answered on the first ring as though he was eagerly waiting for her to call."Hello, do I know you?" He joked.She chuckled at his insanity but played along. "Nope. But it will not remain that way for too long since I'm about to introduce myself."She could imagine a smile on his face even through the phone. "Let's hear it."She swung her chair and adjusted her angle so she was supporting her elbow on her desk. "My name is Gemma. I'm a divorced woman seeking a husband."He burst into laughter at her craziness. "What kind of husband? Tell me about it, who knows? I might just be able to help you find him.""You might. But I'm very picky." She exaggerated, her smile widening. "He should be tall, handsome, have emerald eyes and black hair…""And?" He prompted."Wait." She sat up straight when she realized something that

Dealing with idiots had never been difficult. It was easy as pie. After giving Olivia a reason to go crazy, Gemma prepared a bath with rose petals and essential oils and soaked in. She would need her skin to be perfect for her date with Livian. Although she hadn't made it sound like a date, she treated it like one. She liked it when she drove him crazy.She hummed as the soapy water tickled her skin. It felt so good that she couldn't help thinking back to Livian's caresses in his bathtub the night before. He had taken her so hard in the tub that she wouldn't look at baths the same way anymore. Her face flushed just thinking about it.When a bang resounded at the door, she was certain that it was the door to her room. She couldn't hear whatever was being said but from the repeated banging, she was certain that the idiot who no longer wanted their life was Olivia and she was here to ask questions about the card she had given her.She stretched her hand

He made to turn off the stove but she stopped him with her hand."Hm?" He prompted, unable to understand what she actually wanted."I just want you to cook while I hold you like this." She rubbed her hand along his waist as her chin vibrated against his broad back.He smiled at her antics and continued cooking, slowing down his movements so he wouldn't accidentally trip her. They didn't speak much but she continued to cling onto him like a kitten, which was enough to make his pants tight the whole time.When he was done, she reluctantly let go of his waist so he plated food for them. He peeked at her from his peripheral view with a smirk. She was quite clingy tonight—not that he was complaining.As soon as they finished cooking, he carried her to the master bedroom and laid her on the bed, then proceeded to take off her shoes.She purred when he massaged her ankles. She hadn't realized how sore they were until he pres

Livian went to the bathroom and returned with a warm, wet towel which he used to wipe down her body. Her gaze followed her every movement and he couldn't help getting worried about her silence."Are you alright?" He gently caressed her cheek.Thinking back to how intense they had been, her face reddened. "You didn't strike me as such a beast in bed."His movements slowed down. "I'm sorry. I couldn't control myself. Are you hurt?" Before she could say a word, he gently parted her legs to check if she was alright.She firmly pressed her thighs together in embarrassment even though he had already seen all there was to see. "Everything's fine. I was just caught off guard."He nodded in relief. "I'll try to restrain myself next time."Her eyes evaded his. "I don't mind your preferences. You're not the only one enjoying it anyway." She stated honestly.Relieved by her words, he finished wiping her down and return

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
