After a while, Harriet spoke first, ‘I need to say something. Look, I’m sorry about last night. I didn’t know you and Elias were married.’‘It’s fine,’ Callie said placidly. ‘We just got our wires crossed.’Harriet’s shoulders visibly relaxed as she released a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding. ‘Phew. I was worried you might think I did it on purpose, you know, to stir things up.’Callie’s smile was warm, a sign of reassurance. ‘No, I don’t believe you are that kind of person. It’s just a big misunderstanding.’With the air cleared, Harriet resumed her usual chummy attitude. ‘So, you and Elias, huh?’Callie nodded, smiling. ‘Yes.’Harriet’s eyes lingered a moment longer on the hickeys on Callie’s neck.She wanted to tease the young doctor about them, but was afraid she’d take offence.Callie seemed like the bashful sort.Harriet chuckled to herself.She used to think Elias might be uninterested in women, but now she understood it wasn’t a lack of interest.He just hadn’t m
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 166 Urgent Mission
‘That’s why I thought of asking her out for a drink,’ Lemuel mumbled. ‘You know how alcohol loosens tongues.’‘Not her. She can drink three of you under the table.’ Elias tapped a finger on his thigh. ‘So, you are not romantically interested in her?’Lemuel shook his head vehemently. ‘Absolutely not, sir. Any interest I might have had in her was crushed when she broke two of my ribs. Besides…’ Lemuel cleared his throat. ‘I’ve already got my sights on someone.’A knowing glint danced in Elias’s eyes. ‘I think I have an idea who you are talking about.’‘Sir, if you don’t mind me asking, how did you manage to sway Callie?’‘Sway?’‘Apologies, wrong word choice. I meant, how did you get her to marry you? What was your secret?’Elias contemplated, a smile tugging at his lips at the memory of Callie’s blushing reaction to his impromptu proposal. ‘I think it was a mix of timing and charm...’‘Charm?’ Lemuel glanced at his own face in the rearview mirror. ‘I think I’ve got some of that.’‘But
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 167 Volunteers
The medical personnel who had previously served at Valour Ridge had been dispatched to Nordland to aid in a challenging peacekeeping assignment and had yet to return.Other than Craig, none of the current staff had been there for more than three months.Craig explained the situation and let everyone speak their mind.Ramiro Meyers raised his hand first. ‘I’ve worked in conflict zones and disaster-stricken regions before. And I’ve worked with civilians, soldiers, and children in crisis.’The 34-year-old doctor was a recent transfer.His skin was deeply tanned, and a jagged scar ran across his left forearm, a souvenir from a particularly intense field operation.Heads nodded around the table.His experience might be just what was needed in a tight spot.Matthew Carlson, 31 years old, was the second to volunteer.Before coming to Valour Ridge, he’d served in peacekeeping corps around the world.His experience extended beyond the battlefield, encompassing his dedication to improving healt
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 168 Double Standard
Elias’s voice cut through in the tense air, his tone low, his gaze reflecting the storm inside. ‘The danger there is real, Callie. I can’t let you go.’‘Real danger?’ Callie’s lips twisted in defiance, her words dripping with stubbornness. ‘So, Kurtazagg’s border is a threat, but it’s okay for you, huh? Why the double standard?’‘Callie!’ Elias’s eyes bore into her, frustration etched on his face. ‘I’m bound by duty as a soldier. I follow orders, no questions asked. But you...’ He sighed, a touch of vulnerability slipping through. ‘You’re different.’‘Different how?’ Callie’s voice sharpened, her eyes locking onto his with determination. ‘Elias, you can’t just use your authority to keep me from Kurtazagg.’‘Yes, I can.’ His response was sharp, the word slicing through the charged atmosphere. ‘You’re not going. End of story.’That finality struck Callie like a slap, stoking a fiery anger within her.She wrenched her hand away from his grasp, taking a step back.Why did she want this mi
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 169 Four Hours to Go
Seated in his office, Elias combed through the latest intel from the Kurtazagg border and Citadel Alpha Base.Lemuel cast occasional glances his way.Sensing his superior’s foul mood, the captain wisely chose silence.Elias handed over a roster to Lemuel. ‘Get this to Major Spadaro for confirmation.’Lemuel’s gaze snagged on Wendy’s name, caught off guard.His heart raced, mirroring Elias’s unease.No soldier wished such a perilous path for someone they cared about.Kurtazagg was a brutal realm, a crucible that tested even seasoned warriors.For individuals like Callie and Wendy, the odds were far from favourable.Observing Lemuel’s hesitation, Elias’s brows furrowed. ‘Something bothering you? Why are you just standing there?’‘Nothing, Sir! I’m on it.’ Lemuel saluted promptly and hurried to the vice principal’s office.Raindrops, like delicate whispers, trickled in through the window, grazing Elias’s face.Thoughts of Callie’s sorrowful eyes replayed in his mind.A pang of longing su
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 170 His Wife, His Equal
Elias felt a tug in his chest, witnessing the tear-stained visage of Callie.With a reckless abandon, he bent down and claimed her lips with fervour.Salty tears mingled with the bittersweetness, turning the kiss into a poignant collision.‘Callie, look at me.’ Elias tilted her chin gently, coaxing her gaze towards him.He wiped away her tears with his thumb. ‘It’s a treacherous terrain out there. Explosions and combat could erupt anytime. Lives could be lost in a heartbeat. Someone chatting with you one moment might breathe their last beside you the next. I can’t vouch for my safety, let alone yours.’He wasn’t taking any chances, not when it came to his beloved.The thought of losing her was unfathomable; it’s why he dug in his heels, forbidding Callie from venturing to Kurtazagg, even if it meant wielding his authority like a weapon.Callie’s tears welled, yet she managed a smile. ‘Elias, who’s gonna have your back when you’re wounded? You’re tough, true, but you’re also flesh and
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 171 Touchdown
Elias sauntered over to Lemuel’s side.Spying Callie, Lemuel couldn’t hold back his curiosity. ‘Sir, Callie’s really tagging along?’‘The girl you’ve got an eye on’s enlisting too, right?’ Elias responded, deflecting the question.Lemuel cast a glance at Wendy by Callie’s side, murmuring, ‘Yeah, she volunteered.’‘I didn’t want Callie to come,’ Elias admitted in hushed tones. ‘But that was selfish of me.’Truth was, Elias had conferred with Craig over the phone before visiting the health centre.The veteran nurse’s opinion was more inclined towards Callie than Angelia.For battlefield roles, courage and a sense of responsibility were non-negotiable.From Craig’s standpoint, Callie seemed a better fit than Angelia.But Elias had placed pressure on Craig to favour Angelia, fearing the peril Callie might face.Now he realised that was the wrong thing to do.‘Sir, I know how you feel.’ Lemuel patted Elias’s shoulder.‘Let’s not dwell on that. It’s time for the roll call.’Lemuel nodded an
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 172 Too Late to Back Out
Wendy’s heart did a double take at the sight of the handsome doctor.She tugged lightly at Callie’s sleeve, her curiosity getting the best of her. ‘Seriously, why’s the doc so dreamy?’‘Easy, Wendy,’ Callie chided under her breath, maintaining professionalism. ‘We’re here for a mission, not a swoon fest.’‘Just a peek,’ Wendy mumbled back. ‘He’s even more swoon-worthy than Elias.’As if privy to their hushed conversation, the doctor’s gaze met theirs, a fleeting smile dancing on his lips before vanishing.With efficiency, he addressed the group. ‘Time’s short, so let’s get acquainted. I’m Dr Jamison Garcia, overseeing operations here. We’ll discuss the specifics en route as we work. Doctors, don your coats, and nurses, affix the red cross emblem.’Without hesitation, the medical personnel reached into their bags, slipping into white coats as they stood ready for duty.Angelia, Callie, and Ramiro took the forefront, flanked by Wendy and two other nurses.Jamison’s gaze settled on Angel
