Laura's POV:

"This is perfect," I said as Cole showed me around the apartment he got for me.

It was a private bungalow facing the ocean in New York. It's got it's own privacy which made me love it more.

"Are you sure you like it?" The house agent asked as we finally returned back to the living room.

"I'll take it," I told him. "Aside the privacy, it's not too far from the hospital. I like it. I'll take it."

The agent understood the assignment. She was actually friends Chlole so when Cole broke it to her that I'd be needing a small simple apartment to buy, she took us directly to this place.

I didn't want to bear my child in Sun island which was why I wanted a house in New York and I got it.

"I'm so glad you like it," she said, looking relieved. "When I took you here, I wasn't quite sure if you'd like it because of the ocean."

"I'm an ocean woman," I said happily. "I'd take the apartment."

We then agreed to have the final payment made in her office. She left me alone with Cole wh

    Reiner's POV: Too distracted to focus on business discussion, I brooded with my fountain pen on my desk. Laura was all I could think of. The distance between us had gotten wider than before. I knew I had been treating her abominably. If it were a regular girl, I wouldn't have been bothered about it. But since it was Laura, it leaves me in scars that I've never felt before. I gave my head a small shake, dropping the fountain pen on the table. Well, she seemed to have accepted the reality that we weren't a thing and our marriage was only a stepping stone to my goal. I was the one whom made the no-commitment rule in our contract marriage. Seeing her fight against that rule secretly intrigued me but when she finally stopped and stopped caring anymore, it raised some sort of alarm in me. When a woman like Laura stopped caring anymore about my affairs with women, it could only mean one thing. She must've found someone new.Since we both took charge of Griffin groups, Laura had bec

  • My Contracted Wife Don't Run Away   Forgive Reiner

    Reiner's POV:"I want to terminate our contract," she said. To say it came as a shocker to me was an understatement. This was definitely the last thing I expect from her. "Why?" I asked. She met my eyes, hard and steady. "The baby's dead. I don't see any need to continue our marriage.""What are you talking about? We can start afresh," I said, feeling that sense of alarm I felt earlier today again. The truth was that I was afraid of losing her now. She cannot leave. If she's calling it quit, then it's over for me. And this has nothing to do with my goals nor the island. I just don't want to lose Laura. "I'm done with everything, Reiner," she said, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. "That's why I'm calling it quit. It was a mistake to sign that contract in the first place.""You do realize if we terminate the contract, you're not getting the ten million dollars I promised you, right?" I reminded her. That was a big mistake and I regretted uttering those words. Laura w

    Laura's POV:It was a typical Wednesday evening at Bistro's restaurant when I sat down at the dinner table opposite Reiner. I had been very uncomfortable with tonight's dinner arrangement, but Reiner insisted we eat out. I had messaged him earlier to let him know I'd like us to have a talk. Reiner was as excited as a child about to receive a candy. He made reservations at Bistro's, an Italian restaurant in Sun island and even rode me to the restaurant in his own Rolls-Royce Cullinan. We began by having drinks. Reiner was in such a good mood, I hadn't the heart to bring up my reasons for tonight's meeting. He looked really worn out. From the heavy bags under his eyes, I could tell he's had many sleepless nights. Was I the cause of those sleepless nights? I got no idea. Reiner had promised me financial security and the opportunity to focus on my own career goals. That was part of the reasons why I married him. I chose him because I was desperate to have those things. Now, howe

Across from me sat Laura, her lawyer by her side, a look of sadness and determination etched on her face."I can't believe we're actually doing this," I said as I drummed my fountain pen on the table. "I know it's hard, but we both agreed that this was the best thing for us," Laura replied, her voice laced with sadness.I stared at Laura. She looked incredibly beautiful and sexy. She had done her hair and even applied some make-up. And she smelled so nice too. A sense of jealous swept through me as I imagined whom her new man might be. Maybe Cole since he was the closest to her but I doubt that. I haven't seen Cole in a long time aside when he's doing his weekly check ups on grandmother. I bite my lips. Curse my luck. I lost her. I'm never gonna find another woman like her ever again. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. "I never wanted to

"What do they want?""Ten million dollars," I said, my fists clenched at my sides. A cloud of anger came over her eyes. "Ten million dollars? Isn't that a lot?"I replied, "I don't have that kind of money on hand. I'll have to liquidate some investments, sell off some assets.

    Reiner's POV: Reiner," Laura began, her voice suddenly hardening. "Tell me what is going on."I sat across from Laura in a small bamboo cabin by the beach. The warm air and the sound of the rain tapping against the roof set a calming ambiance as we were about to enjoy the dinner for two I had prepared.The table was set with a crisp white tablecloth and adorned with a vase of tropical flowers. Our plates were filled with grilled seafood and vegetables, paired with a smooth red wine. The romantic mood was palpable, as the soft light from the candles cast a warm glow over the room.I took a deep breath and reached across the table to take Laura's hand. "Laura, there's something I need to tell you," I began. "I know this may come as a surprise, but I have a confession to make."Laura's eyes lit up with expectation, and she leaned forward, eager to hear what I had to say.

I must see Greene. When I reached the penthouse, the guards outside stopped me, asking who I was. This wasn't the time for this. These Meatheads should get out of my way. But I decide to play it cool else they might think I'm some psychopath. I took a deep breath and told them my name, and demanded to see Greene. At first they were hesitatant but then they made a call to their boss and I could hear him yelling at them to let me in.The guards reluctantly led me to Greene's suite, and left me alone in the room. As I waited, I heard a sound coming from the bathroom. Before I knew it, Greene stepped out of the shower, wearing nothing but a bathrobe. I felt uncomfortable and guilty, as a married woman, being in such close proximity to another man."Well, well, well," Greene grinned lustfully at me.

I was at home nursing the kids when Reiner walked in and announced that he wants to take me out on a date. I couldn't help but feel a wave of happiness wash over me. It had been a while since we went out together, and I was looking forward to some alone time with my husband."Laura, get dressed, I'm taking you out," Reiner said with a smile. I couldn't help but feel a flutter in my stomach at the thought of getting dressed up and going out with my husband.I walked to my closet and picked out my favorite dress. It was a beautiful, red, off-the-shoulder dress that hugged my curves in all the right places. I paired it with a pair of strappy heels and some simple jewelry.As I got ready, I couldn't help but think about the hardships our family was facing. We were still struggling financially, and it had been a diff

"How about you leave Reiner and become my wife?"He made it sound so easy. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was so shocked I couldn't say a word. Greene and I had what you might call a good business-relationship. He's one of Griffen Groups elite clients and he thinks so highly of me. Due to our strong bond, Reiner always lets me to handle him. If someone had told me Greene had more in mind for me aside business, I wouldn't have believed it. Greene's the only child of his family. As such, he inherited everything his father left behind.

I never could have imagined that living in poverty would be such a difficult experience.The house itself is not the problem, but the challenges it brings are numerous.

The kids are always hungry and I can see it in their faces.But that's not the worst of it. Wendy, who also lives with us now, has suddenly turned against me.
