THE CONTRACT THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING CHAPTER 33: SACK LETTER
AVA POVI stared at Mr William, my fingers tightening around the check. My mind was racing, trying to make sense of what was happening.“Why do you want me to divorce Raymond?” I finally asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Without answering, he slid a document across the desk toward me. I hesitated before picking it up, my eyes scanning the words. My heart pounded harder with each line I read.It was a contract.A contract that stated I would divorce Raymond quietly, without telling him I had been forced to do so. I was to leave and move far away, taking our daughter, Bella, with me. In return, I would receive additional financial support every month.My hands trembled as I lowered the paper, my eyes locking onto Mr. William. I studied his face, searching for any sign of emotion, but he remained as cold and distant as ever.Why now? Why was he so desperate to erase me from Raymond’s life?Then I remembered.The way his entire demeanor shifted the last time he saw my father’s pict

AVA POVRaymond stood there, his whole body tense. His fists were clenched at his sides, and I could tell he was trying really hard not to lose his temper. His jaw was tight, and he was breathing slowly, like he was forcing himself to stay calm.The air in the room felt heavy, but before I could say anything, my phone buzzed in my hand. I looked down and saw a message from William.“I hope you received the letter, and note: No drama. Respect is a beautiful thing, you know what to do.”I swallowed hard, quickly clearing my throat and forcing a smile onto my face as I looked up at Raymond.“I think… this is a good thing,” I said, trying to sound cheerful. “I can just stay at home, look after Bella, and also…” My words trailed off as I struggled to finish the sentence.Raymond’s eyes darkened, his hands balling into even tighter fists.Before he could say anything, I quickly stepped forward, pecked him lightly on the lips, and turned on my heels, rushing out of the office before my emoti

AVA POVI went to pick Bella up from school, trying my best not to let the frustration of not working at the company anymore get to me. As we drove home, I played her favorite songs, letting the music fill the car. She was vibing to it, clapping her hands and singing along, her little voice making me smile.But then, she suddenly turned to me. "Mom, you should be at work with Dad. Why did you come to pick me today?"I glanced at her and smiled. "Is it now a crime to pick my child from school?"She pouted, looking a bit sober, but then, as another of her favorite songs played, she nodded along again, her mood lifting. I let out a silent breath.At HomeBella was eating at the dining table while the maid served her, and I was checking her bag for assignments. As I flipped through her school notes, my eyes caught a small brown envelope tucked inside. At first, I thought it was just a regular message from the school. They usually sent emails, but sometimes they sent physical notes too."B

"Why would you do this?" Mr William demanded, his voice laced with frustration as he stared at Ms. William. She had just played the recording of her conversation with Ava, a triumphant smirk tugging at the corners of her lips. "Telling her that her father killed Raymond’s mother… Stella is that not too far," William muttered, his gaze darkening. Ms. William scoffed. "Oh, please, cut the crap, William." His fingers curled into fists, but before he could respond, she continued, her voice sharp. "You really think firing her from the company and throwing empty threats will be enough to chase her away?" She let out a dry laugh. "Don’t be naive." "But you’re the naive one here," William countered, narrowing his eyes. "Do you think she’ll just believe you and walk away? She’s not a fool. She’ll start digging, trying to uncover the truth for herself and the real truth will end up revealing to her." Ms. William's eyes flared with irritation. "I’m not naive, William!" she snapped,

AVA POVI walked toward my car, my steps slow, my mind heavier than my body. Daddy P stood by the doorway, watching me. I bowed slightly as a sign of respect, the way I always had since I was little. He waved back, but something about the way he did it felt different—forced, distant.I slid into the driver’s seat and let out a shaky breath, gripping the steering wheel tightly. Just as I was about to start the engine, I glanced back at Daddy P. He had turned around suddenly, rubbing his head roughly as he rushed back inside.I frowned. Something wasn’t right. For a second, I thought about getting out and asking if he was okay, but I didn’t. I was too drained, too confused. Instead, I started the car and drove off.Loud music filled the car, the bass thumping hard against my chest. But it didn’t help. I wasn’t happy. I wasn’t even just sad. I felt like I was losing my mind. My foot pressed harder on the gas and I speed By the time I reached the house, my hands were shaking. I pulled up

And just like that, I forgot how to breathe.Ava stepped out, and my mind went blank. My mouth opened, but no words came out.She arched her brow. “Raymond?”I blinked. Swallowed. Tried to form a sentence. “Uh…”She smirked. “You okay?”I exhaled sharply and shook my head. “Damn.”Her smirk widened. “Damn, what?”I stood up without thinking and closed the space between us. My hand found her waist, my fingers brushing against the smooth fabric of her dress.“You,” I muttered, still trying to catch up with my own thoughts.She rolled her eyes. “It’s just a dress.”I shook my head. “No. It’s you.” My hand moved up, tucking a loose strand of

Ava’s povI adjust Bella in my arms, feeling her weight as I whisper, "You're such a big girl now." She’s completely knocked out, her little body resting against mine. At the same time, I drag our suitcase behind me, struggling a little.Then—bam. The suitcase hits someone.The man turns around, his face twisting into a frown."I'm so sorry," I say quickly, giving him an apologetic look.Before anything else can happen, a hostess rushes over to help me."Let me take that," she says kindly, grabbing the suitcase from my hand. I let out a small breath of relief and gave her a grateful smile."Thank you," I say softly as I settle into my seat, making sure Bella is comfortable in her sleep.The hostess watches us for a second before asking, "Is she okay?""Yeah, she’s fine," I replied quickly. "Just taking a nap."She nods and walks away, leaving me alone with Bella.I exhale and look down at my daughter. My stomach twists.I bite my lip hard, cursing myself inside.I shouldn’t have done

RAYMOND POVDaniel came to bail me out at the Police stationEarlier at the airport, I lost it. They wouldn’t let me through, and when one of the security guards tried to stop me, I snapped. Ended up throwing a punch. Maybe more than one. And at the end the police stepped in, dragged me away before I could do anything worse, and maybe I might actually do the worst, because I just want to see Ava and Bella at that time, stopping me is like adding salt to my burning wound. Now, standing in the police station, I must’ve looked like a mess. I didn’t care. One of the officers sighed. “Mr. Williams, you need to avoid public fights like this. Next time, it won’t just be a few hours in a cell.” I barely listened. The other cop, though, was suddenly all smiles. “Sir, didn’t realize who you were…" The Diamond” that's such a big company and big name.” He chuckled, a little too eager. “Here, have some coffee.” He added I didn’t take it, just looking at him, he suddenly became friendly a

I won’t risk bringing him back until then."** Hannah exhaled sharply, her hands trembling. "Keeping him away won’t help him remember. He needs to be around familiar faces, familiar places!"William’s eyes darkened. "You don’t understand what’s at stake. If word gets out that my son, the future heir, has memory issues, do you know what that would mean for us? For me?"Hannah’s heart ached at his words. "So this is about your reputation?" she whispered, shaking her head. "Not about Raymond? Not about what’s best for him?"William’s jaw tightened, refusing to answer. A heavy silence stretched between them before Hannah finally spoke again. "I won’t sit back and watch you do this to our son."**One week later,
