My 18-Year-Old Contract Bride Charlotte George
Martha sneered, ‘Lying wench!’Being married to the wealthiest man in the country came with countless privileges, including free rides.Just how did someone as clueless as her manage to cross paths with Shawn Mandez? It was baffling.Annoying piece of work.Was Vivian not planning to take any action against her? That fool. Since handing over the documents the other night, the girl hadn't made a move yet. ‘What is she waiting for?’"How was work today?" Max's voice cut through the silence, prompting Martha to swiftly compose herself.Wearing a cute smile, she replied, "It wasn't so bad. I just feel sore all over and will need a certain someone to massage my body for me."Upon hearing this, Max grinned. "As your ladyship pleases."The two burst into laughter together.Mia had slipped off her heels in the car by the time she and Jasper arrived home. As the car door was swung open by one of the guards, she was gently caught in slender yet sturdy arms.Before she could comprehend, she foun

Upon hearing her friend's revelation, Charlotte's expression changed abruptly."What are you talking about?" Her brows furrowed in confusion.Maria hesitated before speaking, "the other day, I saw her with Damien... I asked who she was to him, and he introduced her as his girlfriend. I was shocked. I had no idea he was into younger girls."Certainly, she couldn't confess to her so-called friend that she had gone on a blind date with her ex-boyfriend. To be brutally honest, Maria was well aware that Damien Davis was going to be her blind date; she had insisted her dad set her up with him.She had always liked him. She had harbored feelings for him even when he was still in a relationship with Charlotte. However, Maria had kept those emotions to herself.After three years since their breakup, she thought, why not try her luck?

___________Beats Corporations HQ."Have George drive the car to the entrance. I'm leaving now," ordered CEO Shawn. He retrieved his overcoat from the rack, making a swift exit from his opulent office, trailed by his personal assistant carrying his briefcase.Lucas, caught off guard, glanced at his wristwatch—it was just after eight.Still too early.Typically, the CEO worked until almost midnight before departing. But these days..."You don't understand, do you?" Shawn's deep voice interrupted Lucas's train of thought."Sir?" He blinked, watching the Big Boss's back as they entered the elevator."Um. That's because you're not married yet. Your lonely, single self can't relate to being a diligent, loving, and caring husband like me," boasted the CEO, hands pocketed.Lucas was stunned. ‘Wow.’"You can never relate," he added, clicking his tongue.The elevator doors slid open upon reaching the ground floor, and the Big Boss and his subordinate headed straight to the entrance.Walking b

Shawn reached the door and paused, studying it briefly before twisting the doorknob. Upon entering, Mia suddenly appeared, catching him off guard."I apologize. I've made a grave mistake. It was unintentional, unforeseen. I went against your words—I had no idea. Please forgive me."He could roughly guess what..."What are you rambling about?" His eyebrow arched up.Mia hesitated, biting her lower lip. "I-He... Aish!" She stuttered, squeezing her eyes shut. Rushing out of her mouth, she explained, "The person you warned me about came to pick up his niece at my workplace today. He greeted me, and suddenly hugged me—it happened too fast. I didn't anticipate it, should have moved away immediately—I don't know what I was thinking—I'm sorry!"Shawn observed her, mouth parted slightly open. ‘What is she, a radio? Talking nonstop like that…’"Being a TV presenter suits you indeed," he clicked his tongue, moving past her.Huh? Mia quickly opened her eyes and turned to face him, surprised.Obse

Upon hearing the workers’ words, Martha swiftly rose to her feet, assuming a defensive pose as she hurried over to Mia's cubicle, spreading her hands in a protective gesture. "Guys, please. Leave her out of this."Everyone was surprised. Why was she suddenly being so protective?"Mia has been through a lot; please, just leave her out of this. Please."The entire office scrutinized Mia. What was going on?Just then, Veronica, who had been silent all this time, flared up. "Why? Why are you protecting her?" She snapped, sneering.Facing everyone, she spat out venom, "Mia didn't say anything because she's jealous of Martha!""What?!" The entire office was thrown into a frenzy."Jealous in what sense?""As how?""They're best friends, aren’t they?”Scoffing, Veronica continued, "Yes, jealous. She once tried to steal Martha's position by snatching Max from her. Thank goodness the heavens interven--"Before she could finish, Martha swiftly shuffled over, clasping her hand over Veronica's mou

Yvonne sighed, placing her glass on the table. She gazed straight at Mia, asking, "how much do you want?"Mia's head snapped up in bewilderment. She was lost, struggling to grasp the woman's words."Don't play dumb," Yvonne scoffed. "You might fool Shawn and Damien by feigning gullibility, but not me. Cut the act."With each word, Mia's heart pounded."Feigni..." Her small voice trailed off. "I don't quite un..."Yvonne couldn't believe the girl's adept pretense. The urge to strike her across the face overwhelmed her, but she suppressed it."How much to keep away from Shawn?" She inquired calmly.Mia blinked in disbelief, "Excuse me?""50 million?" Yvonne cut in sharply."What?!" "150 million?"Mia’s eyes widened in disbelief.Noticing the girl's lack of response, Yvonne interpreted it as dissatisfaction with the offered amount. She scoffed."Fine. I'll wire you a check of 500 million. You won't find a better offer anywhere. Just vanish from sight," she added, "it won't be challengin

"How did you meet her?" Shawn's deep voice resonated with curiosity."Huh?" Mia looked up, puzzled by the unexpected question.What was he talking about?"You said she's not your birth mother, so how did you two cross paths?" He calmly inquired once more.Mia's eyes blinked repeatedly, and she took a deep breath as her mind strolled down memory lane.She began, "My dad brought in a woman and a daughter a few months older than me right after my mom was buried. It was devastating. From the moment they stepped into our house, I knew no peace. Three years ago, one night, I left home with the determination never to return." She paused and then continued, "Tears streamed down my face as I ran along the roadside with no destination in mind. Just as I kept running, I came across a burning vehicle."Shawn inhaled sharply, his heart pounding in his chest."An accident happened... Shattered glass scattered on the ground... Fear gripped me.

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!"

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.

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.

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.

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.
