My 18-Year-Old Contract Bride Die, Mia
Mia was stunned to see her father there—what was he doing there? Why had he come? Her heart beat erratically against her chest. Then it hit her—it was that time of year again. Arnold Thompson would usually visit his children's school in the middle of every year to pay their fees and check on their academic progress with the principal.Mia's father raised his hand and struck her across the face once more. The entire class gasped at the shocking sight."Why is he hitting her?""What did she do this time?"If Mrs. Babington hadn't intervened quickly, Mia's father would have hit her again."Please, sir, let's not do this here," she pleaded.Barbara, who had been watching with a smug expression from the classroom door, hurriedly rushed to her husband's side and held his arm."Darling, it's true. Let's go to Mrs. Babington's office to resolve this. I know you disowned Mia for a reason, but this is too much. Let's just go," she urged, tugging at his arm.After glaring at Mia for a moment, t

***The CEO of Beats Corporation was in a foul mood all day. Ever since he stepped into the corporation in the morning, his demeanor had been aggressive towards everyone.Shawn particularly despised the fact that his mood was affected by that girl. Once again, her words seemed to have a significant impact on him, and it frustrated him to no end.As he worked, Shawn kept glancing at the time on his luxurious wristwatch. Since she was the reason behind his edginess throughout the day, she would have to face the consequences.At precisely four o'clock, the CEO stood up from behind his desk, grabbed his overcoat from the coat rack, and briskly walked out of the office.He had informed Lucas beforehand that they would be going to Mia's school, so his personal assistant was already waiting for him in the underground car park.Without wasting any time, Lucas drove straight to the school. When they arrived, Lucas understood that it would be better not to park the car too close to the entrance

He then bowed several times, apologizing for the behavior of his men towards her moments ago. Then he led the way to his office.Thinking he had narrowly avoided trouble once again, the chief shook his head.Yesterday, he had been swarmed by mosquitoes, almost bitten to death while locked up in the cell with his subordinates. And when CEO Shawn's men finally released them, the chief could barely walk or speak. He was famished and weak, his body trembling from starvation.Only the heavens knew what would have happened to him today if he hadn't discovered in time that Mr. Arnold's daughter was the same girl from yesterday. It would have been brutal, perhaps he would have ended up with a life sentence. With a deep sigh of relief, the chief settled into his office chair.Come to think of it, what exactly was the relationship between CEO Shawn and Director Arnold Thompson's daughter?When the girl was brought in the previous day, the Chief of Police initially felt a sense of familiarity bu

Vivian impatiently stood outside the school gates, waiting for her sister. As she scanned the street, her attention was caught by a black Maybach pulling up across the road.Before she could look away, the car door flung open, and Mia dashed out of it. Vivian's mouth fell open in surprise. However, she quickly composed herself and looked away, pretending to search for someone down the road.Mia was taken aback when she saw her sister. The first thought that crossed her mind was, "Did she see me?""Vivian," she called softly.Vivian turned at the sound of her name and finally noticed her sister."Huh? Mia! I was waiting for you. When did you get here?" Vivian seemed surprised.Relieved that Vivian hadn't seen her arrive in the Maybach, Mia sighed inwardly. She was convinced."You were waiting for me?""Yes!" Vivian's face turned to worry. Then she noticed Mia's puffy, swollen face.Vivian had heard about the altercation between Mia and their father in Mia's class the previous day. She

Mia couldn't believe her ears."Listen, you're doing this for our family, for your father. The Andrews have agreed to form an alliance with us, but only if you marry their son. I had no choice. It's for the sake of this family. You understand, right?""What?!" Mia struggled to comprehend everything the woman was saying, her face turning pale.Barbara's anger flared at Mia's reaction. "What's with that look?!" she snapped."You shameless thing! You should be grateful they're interested in someone like you! They're rich and will take care of you! All you need to do is bear children for your husband. You should be grateful and show appreciation!" She sneered.In a rushed manner, Barbara added, "There's just a small problem. Your husband is epileptic. But don't worry, it doesn't matter. It's a sacrifice you have to make for our family. Now, behave."Without allowing Mia to respond, Barbara forcefully dragged her back and pushed her towards the waiting guests.Grinning, she gestured with h

***Jasper observed in silence as the Andrews' car pulled into their residence. How dare they snatch the boss' woman? They had no idea what they were getting themselves into. They would soon learn when the boss arrived.Even though he could easily storm in and deal with every single one of them, the boss had explicitly instructed him to hold back. So, for now, he would obey and refrain from taking action.The Andrew family disembarked from the car, and Mia was roughly pushed out as well. The girl had been crying the entire way to this place, and her tears showed no signs of stopping.Cole Andrew, the family patriarch, turned to face her. Despite finding the girl's continuous sobbing irritating, he tried to maintain a calm and understanding demeanor."Hey, girl. Stop your tears. No one will harm you here," he said, attempting to hide his irritation.Mia sniffled, her cries growing louder. "I just want to go home," she wailed.Cole's irritation intensified, and he exploded in anger. Gri

By this time, the Andrew family had already emerged from inside the house to investigate the commotion. When Cole and the rest of the family laid eyes on the torn-down gate, their mouths gaped open in bewilderment. What had happened? Did a bulldozer crash into it? How could their sturdy gate collapse like this? They were stunned and desperate for answers.Even the servants were taken aback by the sight of the huge iron gate lying on the ground. They remained frozen at their stations, trying to recover from the shock."Who did this?" Cole Andrew seethed with rage."Who the hell—" He was about to unleash his anger when a calm yet commanding voice interrupted him."I did," Shawn declared boldly, his figure towering above everyone present.At that moment, the Andrew family shifted their gaze from the damaged gate to the intruder.Cole instinctively took a step back, studying the man from head to toe. The stranger exuded an air of power, dressed impeccably elegant in a tuxedo… He didn’t

Susan had to do what she had to for her son. There was no way on earth that anyone would come and take Mathew's bride away."Here." She raised the file in her hand mid-air."Here's the contract signed by both families of the Andrew and the Thompson. The marriage contract is already stamped! The first daughter of the Thompson family is now the wife of our son." Susan Andrew summoned all the courage she had left and spoke.A few moments passed by, and no one said a word. If a pin dropped at that moment, the sound of it would be heard miles away.The statue-like figure simply continued staring at the woman before him as if she was an irrelevant nobody, uttering no word at all.Just when Susan Andrew thought he wasn't going to reply and wanted to open her mouth to speak again, Shawn's low but cold voice resounded in the air."Let me see."As soon as he said this, Lucas walked three paces forward and collected the file from Susan. He returned to his boss's side and handed it over to him."

Jennifer Mandez smiled, observing the girl's downcast expression as she joined her side. She gently took off her gloves and cradled Mia's cheeks in her palms."Be free with me, Mia. I'm your mother as well. I held that title before I resumed being Shawn's mother," she chuckled.She paused briefly before continuing, "I want you to forgive me for hurting you. I apologize sincerely. Now, I know better. You're a rare gem, and I wouldn't want Sunshine to be with anyone but you."Mia's eyes widened, "Does that mean we have your blessing to proceed…?"She nodded, grinning."Thank you, Mom!"

Shawn's lips tightened. "I believe you," he paused, "however, it's not you that I was referring to; it's the person behind you."‘Huh?’ Amanda's tears ceased instantly, and she swiftly turned to look behind her, as did everyone else.Anderson.Confusion swept through the room."You sending provoking pictures to Yvonne, making her rush back to the country... I was initially going to let you be. However, things changed after discovering you were the one who instigated the accident three years ago. And then you completely crossed the line by sending me those absurd threat messages," Shawn's icy voice confronted Anderson.Anderson stood, clearly taken aback. He hadn't anticipated Shawn's discovery to be so soon. He usually covered his tracks meticulously…“Why? After all these years working for Grandfather, why engage in such actions?” Shawn's brows furrowed deeply.Anderson chuckled. There was nothing to hide anymore, so why not come out clean? “Exactly.

Upon arriving home, Shawn tenderly lifted his wife and placed her in their bedroom; she had fallen asleep during the ride. Delicately, he undressed her and tucked her into bed, taking a moment to remove her makeup with beauty wipes.As he disposed of the used wipes, Mia's phone started ringing on the nightstand. Without hesitation, he picked it up and noticed that the caller ID was unknown. He answered the call and brought the phone to his ear."Mia, I apologize. It's all my fault. Please, let's reconcile and go back to how we used to be."Upon hearing those words from the caller, Shawn's brows furrowed in irritation. Without uttering a word, he promptly ended the call.

As he placed the phone back on the stand, his thumb inadvertently pressed the photos app and opened it.He perched on the edge of the bed, smiling as he scrolled through the pictures on the girl’s phone.

How could she have been so blind to see the girl’s true color all these while?Everyone eyed the person who had just stepped in with confused expressions on their faces.

"Vicky Lewis!" Gasps echoed through the room as all eyes fixated on the newcomer.Mia was also taken aback to see her.

Instinctively, an uneasy feeling settled within her.Was she here to bully her?However, Mia wasn't alone in her discomfort. Another individual seemed to be grappling with an even stronger sense of unease in response to Vicky's presence.'Why is she here? How did she manage to appear?'

"I'll leave now, and never cross your path again."Shawn stood in silence, observing the girl. Without warning, he marched towards the mini lounge, retrieving a lighter from the center table.Returning to Mia, he set ablaze the documents held in his grasp before one could comprehend what was about to happen.Mia let out an immediate shriek, her eyes widening in sheer horror. "What are you—?""You are mistaken. We're eternally linked—bound forever," Shawn calmly muttered as ashes drifted to the floor.Mia blinked rapidly at him."With that resolved, let's head downstairs for dinner.

Please, come with me."Upon hearing this, Charlotte felt a mix of surprise and anticipation.The Davis family had consistently opposed her relationship with Damien, and the reasons remained a mystery to her. Perhaps, they were here to reconcile with her. That was her initial assumption.She promptly followed the man to the car, her heart beating rapidly in her chest as she got in."Uncle, Aunt," she bowed politely.Master Davis and his wife cast disdainful glances at the girl.“The reason we summoned you today is straightforward,” Madam Davis spoke. “Sever ties with our son.
