THE CONTRACT WIFE CHAPTER 57
CHAPTER 57 – Giselle’s POV Villain, sounds familiar, right? They were always the struggle and nuisance for every heroine in a story. I thought I was the heroine of my own love life. I was living my life to the fullest. I had my career, my love, my everything. I wasn't ready for the turning table of this world. I wasn't ready for the change, where I would be the villain in my ex-boyfriend's love story. I was born into a very wealthy family. Both of my parents were well-known politicians. With a mother who was the mayor of our municipality, and a father who was a Senator and a former governor. Everything went smoothly. I was getting what I wanted. Money and beauty that anyone could wish to have and possess. I considered myself lucky. I was living my life way too easily. However, I reached a point where I needed to reciprocate what Mom and Dad had given me. I was a high school student at that time when my Dad called me from his office at our house. Both my Mother and Father were two

CHAPTER 58 – Lucas’ POV When Giselle and I had a conversation, it felt like a weight had been lifted off me. She decided to stop pushing herself onto me and focus on finding her true self. I believed that true deep love can only be experienced when you love yourself first. Both Giselle and I felt empty, like boxes without contents. We realized that we weren't meant for each other, and I was glad that she chose to end her madness. I knew that someone else deserved her love more than I did. Although I may not forgive her for her mistakes right away, I was relieved that she was repenting for them. I understood that it was difficult for her too, and I hoped she would learn her lesson. Just like me, I had learned one of the happiest lessons in my life - accepting the situation and appreciating what I had before it was taken away. I wished I had cherished Zara more so she wouldn't have left me. I still held onto the hope that we would meet again. I had a feeling and intuition that our pa

CHAPTER 59 – Lucas’ POV I wanted to discipline my son, but at the same time, I was aware of my past mistakes. It pained me to be reminded of the wrongs I had committed in the past. “This is just once, Enrique, my son... This is what your grandma wants. You know how stubborn she can be. She won't accept no as an answer,” I tried to convince him as we sat at the dining table, having breakfast. He gave me a sharp look. “If you want to go, then go. I say no, and that's final! I don't want to go, so it's final!” he shouted, sounding annoyed. I was losing my patience, but I didn't want to argue with my son. In reality, I owed him so much. I had many shortcomings as a father. I had done a lot of wrong things that had caused my son to resent me even more, especially now that it felt like our light had gone out. I needed to stay strong because the pillar of the family shouldn't give up. I was all they had. If I gave up too, we wouldn't make any progress. To persuade my son, I thought of

CHAPTER 60 – Zara’s POV Feeling incredibly bored, I found myself aimlessly wandering through the entire house, having already taken a walk by the beach earlier. The overwhelming boredom felt like being trapped in a cage, confined and restricted in my movements. How much longer would my life be like this? With nothing else to do, I decided to head to the kitchen and cook something to eat. Pancakes, cupcakes, noodles, and more. But even that became tiresome, so I returned to the living room to watch TV. No show seemed to capture my interest, leaving me at a loss for what to do. Sighing in frustration, I couldn't help but feel this way whenever Nick was not around. I was always alone, unable to even visit the neighboring village due to Eugenie's watchful eye. I didn't want to be rebellious. Eugenie could be difficult to talk to at times, distant and aloof. So you can imagine how bored I was feeling right now. As I mindlessly searched the internet, I stumbled upon a resort on the othe

CHAPTER 61 – Lucas’ POV I seethed with anger, feeling the flames of fury burning within me. How dare she run away again? She acted as if she didn't know us, and it infuriated me to no end. “Let me go, mister! Who are you? Do I know you?” she exclaimed, her voice filled with confusion and pain. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The woman I loved so deeply seemed to have no recollection of me. “Zara... please, I've been searching for you tirelessly. I miss you, our son, and our life together. Why didn't you come with us? Did I do something wrong? Let's talk about it. Don't just disappear like this, my love,” I pleaded, feeling exhausted and on the verge of kneeling before her. She shook her head, anger evident in her voice. “I said I don't know you! Why do you know my name? Who are you? Let go of me, or I'll scream for help!” Her words stung me, and I could see the fear in her eyes. That's why I released my grip, and Zara ran away immediately. Enrique, my son, was about to chas

CHAPTER 62 – Zara’s POV Upon waking up, I felt a throbbing pain in my head and senses. I stared blankly for a few minutes, letting my vision adjust and trying to figure out what was happening. As I realized my situation, I stood up, almost stumbling because I still felt dizzy. My hand was handcuffed to the bed. I looked around, observing the white and brown designed room. From the sound of the waves outside, it seemed we were by the seaside. Despite feeling dizzy, I tried to think of a way to escape. Maybe they were planning to kill me or do something terrible! I should have known better! I shouldn't have left home if I had known this would happen! I attempted to find something to break the chain, but everything I tried seemed futile. My hand just hurt from the constant banging. The door opened, and the man responsible for my kidnapping entered. He was wearing a tight sleeveless shirt and shorts. His appearance was captivating with his poker face and messy hair. But wait! What am

CHAPTER 63 – Zara’s POV As the sun began to set, I made my way back to the vacation house. Inside, I noticed a young boy sitting on the sofa, and a surge of unfamiliar emotions washed over me. He had been the boy who had hugged me on the island that day. The boy who had embraced me with such longing. Unbeknownst to me, tears had started to flow from my eyes. Was this what they called a surge of emotions? Why did I feel such a strong connection to this child? And when our eyes met, he had jumped up from his seat and wrapped his arms around me. He had buried his face in my embrace, and that's where we had cried together. “Mom, I missed you. Please don't leave me. I'll do anything! I'll be a good boy, I'll be honest, I'll make you proud... Just don't leave me, I feel so lonely,” he had sobbed. I had wiped his tears with my hand, kissed his forehead, and brushed his hair. I could see the resemblance between us, even though he looked more like Lucas. Could it be true? Was my husband r

CHAPTER 64 – Zara’s POV When I woke up this morning, I felt incredibly sore down there. It was as if my thighs had been hammered due to excessive soreness. The pain was so intense that I found myself gasping. It felt like I had worked out without resting. I couldn't even remember which round we had stopped at last night. The fact that something had happened between Lucas and me without fully recovering my memories made me feel a bit shameless. But I couldn't deny that it felt amazing. It was like he had taken me straight to heaven. Lucas had that power over me. I woke up quite late, around 10 in the morning, and it was Lucas, my husband, who woke me up. It still felt slightly awkward, but I noticed that I was becoming more comfortable around him. It felt so normal. Even though I couldn't remember everything yet, it felt normal to sense that he was my husband and I was his wife. The thought made me blush, but I had to remind myself to wake up. “Have you eaten, dear? It's late, and

THE CONTRACT WIFE CHAPTER 75
CHAPTER 75 – Zara’s POV Fifteen years have passed since Lucas and I exchanged our vows, a journey filled with ups and downs, tears and smiles. We have faced countless challenges, nearly losing hope at times, but our determination has kept us fighting. Has it been an easy road for us? No, there's no such thing as a perfect relationship. We, like any couple, have experienced moments of doubt and contemplation. But we have also found reasons to hold on tightly, to weather the storms together. We understand that true happiness and a healthy relationship require effort and commitment. They say that when you're truly happy, time flies by unnoticed. And indeed, the time has flown. It feels like just yesterday when my children were young, and now they tower over me, grown into remarkable individuals. Enrique, our eldest, was already twenty-five years old. He has blossomed into a handsome, intelligent young man, dedicated to his studies and still possessing a gentle sweetness. He would be
THE CONTRACT WIFE CHAPTER 74
CHAPTER 74 – Zara’s POV The night weighed heavily upon us as we slept, carrying with it unresolved grievances. No greetings were exchanged, no apologies offered, and our stubbornness held us captive. The emotional distance between Lucas and me mirrored the separation of our children into separate rooms. The air grew cold, and doubts crept into my heart, leaving me feeling insecure and unimportant in his eyes. The warmth of our marriage seemed to wane, and tears streamed down my face throughout the night, burdened by the fear that his love for me had vanished. How had we come to this? I believed Lucas and I were destined to endure together until the very end. Yet here we were, estranged and adrift. His heart had seemingly changed with alarming swiftness, and I questioned why. Was it just me? Why had he distanced himself so abruptly? The weight of my emotions consumed me, and tears flowed ceaselessly. I cried out all the pain and anguish burdening my heart, emptying myself of the sor
THE CONTRACT WIFE CHAPTER 73
CHAPTER 73 – Zara’s POV The party was a success but then I felt something weird. I didn't know if it was just me, or I was just being paranoid. A woman's intuition was really something else when it kicked in, and I wasn't wrong when I saw that shameless woman. The daughter of our local mayor, who clung to my husband as if her life depended on it, and now she even dared to kiss my husband. As I watched her and Lucas together, it felt like I was punched with anger and jealousy in my heart. I remained calm, just observing the situation, but deep inside I wondered if Lucas would ever change for the better. We just got reunited, and there’s another woman already who was vying for his attention! “What the fuck, Nadine!” my husband exclaimed angrily, wiping his lips after the woman kissed him. They hadn't noticed me watching them yet. Nadine, that was the name of this shameless woman! Damn! “Lucas, I've loved you since then! I am willing to be your mistress, just keep me close to your he
THE CONTRACT WIFE CHAPTER 72
CHAPTER 72 – Zara’s POV We had been tirelessly searching for donors, hoping to find the perfect pair of eyes for Ava. As we awaited her recovery from the recent eye surgery, she remained fragile due to malnourishment. To ensure the well-being of both Ava and Enrique, we sought the assistance of our trusted pediatrician. Regular check-ups and monitoring their health became our top priority. “Thank you, Mom. I love you!” she exclaimed, planting a sweet kiss on my cheek. I offered my cheek, making it easier for her to reach. Our youngest overflowed with affection. “Mom loves you too, my dear. Alright, let's take a break from the cookies for now and have lunch later, alright?” I suggested as we moved to the table. “It's okay, Mom. These dolls are just for me to play with,” she assured me, referring to the gifts from her uncles and aunts. I anticipated that they would spoil her, especially since she was currently the youngest among her cousins. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal that Mom
THE CONTRACT WIFE CHAPTER 71
CHAPTER 71 – Zara’s POV That very day, we joyfully brought our daughter out of the orphanage, relieved to discover that she harbored no resentment. She expressed his happiness at having her wish fulfilled and being reunited with us. The overwhelming joy I felt was impossible to contain. Lucas, Enrique, and I had a delightful time together, showering our daughter with love and affection. Enrique, being the older brother, embraced him warmly, forming an instant bond. As we sat in the van, she curiously asked, “Where are we going?” It was late, and darkness had enveloped the surroundings. But we were nearing our grand mansion. The anticipation among everyone to meet our son, the long-lost member of the Blackwood family, was palpable. Gratitude filled the hearts of our relatives, thankful that we had finally found our daughter, our missing piece. It was as if a void in my heart had been miraculously filled. Lucas and I couldn't help but smile, radiating pure joy. “We're going home, sw
THE CONTRACT WIFE CHAPTER 70
CHAPTER 70 – Zara’s POV When Nick dropped that bombshell, it felt like the world turned icy. In an instant, a chill ran through my body, leaving me speechless and teary-eyed. The weight of his words pressed down on me, making it difficult to face him any longer. I feared that my emotions would betray me, causing me to say something I'd regret later. Leaving the precinct, I could feel my strength draining away. My knees wobbled, threatening to give out beneath me. I felt utterly weak, vulnerable in the face of such overwhelming news. The news of my daughter’s survival brought a mix of joy and guilt as a mother. I couldn't shake the feeling of remorse knowing that while I slept soundly in a comfortable bed and had three meals a day, my child was living in an orphanage, possibly feeling unloved and abandoned. “Let's go to Lucas, our child! Please!” I pleaded, my heart constricting, making it hard to catch my breath. “Honey, please, try to calm down. We'll be reunited with our son soo
THE CONTRACT WIFE CHAPTER 69
CHAPTER 69 – Zara’s POV We headed straight to Dr. Brown's clinic. Once we parked the car in the parking lot, we got out. The clinic was a three-story building. As soon as we entered, my husband immediately caught everyone's attention. Ever since I had known him, Lucas had always been like that. He effortlessly captured anyone's attention. His presence was enough to command respect and admiration at the same time. He was tall, with a perfect face, and he epitomized the idea of a handsome man. I felt so lucky among all the women in the world that he chose me. There was nothing particularly special about me, but he still chose me, even though I had disappeared for three years like a bubble. I wasn't a girl with self-confidence. I could barely stand up for myself. I didn't know how to be the best, and yet I was lucky to have someone like him. He had fallen in love with me deeply. It was back in college when we had met. He had been like a star I couldn't reach. He had been like the mo
THE CONTRACT WIFE CHAPTER 68
CHAPTER 68 – Zara’s POV All the nervousness from that night had vanished, especially after embracing my son and rescuing him from that horrific place. The scene was so distressing that I felt like I could faint at any moment. Now, Nick was in trouble. They had forcibly removed him from jail, but we would ensure that he wouldn't escape the consequences of his actions. He needed to spend a significant amount of time behind bars to reflect on what he had done. When we arrived home at the mansion, all of my husband's brothers and their wives were waiting for us. They were concerned about our well-being, and even though we reassured them that everything was fine, anger was brewing over Nick's behavior. Stephanie embraced me, and I felt a longing for that sibling connection. You see, I never had a sibling since I was the result of an unplanned pregnancy, and my biological father wasn't involved in my life, while my mother never sought a life partner. So having a sister like Stephanie, my

CHAPTER 67 – Zara’s POV It seemed like the glass I was holding slipped from my hand, and it shattered, cutting me in the process. The pain stung, a physical representation of the emotional turmoil I was going through. I was in the kitchen, cooking breakfast while Lucas and our son haven't come down yet. Suddenly, I was overwhelmed by an inexplicable nervousness, and that's why I dropped the glass and got injured. Lucas quickly approached me, seeing my bleeding hands, and scolded me, “You need to be more careful, my dear!” “I don't know, I just suddenly got really nervous! That's why I dropped the glass. I'm sorry! Please don't be angry,” I said, feeling overwhelmed. He sighed with defeat in his voice, “Alright, just be careful next time, okay? Don't make me worry!” Then we decided to call Enrique, but the maid informed us that he was not in his room. Panic started to set in, and my phone rang from an anonymous number. Trembling, I answered the call. “Hello!” I said. “Hello, lov
