What on earth was he doing here? I couldn't even begin to process the situation. Was this some kind of cruel joke? Or was it a sign that we were meant to be together?I turned around, ready to leave the restaurant without a word.

I knew that he had made a mistake, but I wasn't certain if it was a mistake that I could forgive. He had hurt me, and I wasn't sure if I could trust him again. I needed to take some time to think about it, but I was struggling to sort through my emotions. I was almost done with my work when my phone rang, showing an unknown ID.

I was having trouble concentrating, and I knew that I needed to get a grip on myself. I had to focus on the food I was preparing, and I couldn't afford to let myself be distracted.“Watch it!” Franco said to me, pointing to the pancake I was making. It was almost burnt, and he was trying to save me from ruining it. “Thank you,” I said, as I tried to se
The CEO And His Ex Contracted Wife Having her all to himself

I could see that he was taken aback by my offer, and he asked, “Are you sure you're okay with that?” I nodded, trying to appear more confident than I felt.

But I also knew that I couldn't take back my offer now, so I tried to just act natural.He followed me into the room, and we both climbed into the bed.

But I could tell they were still uneasy.Cassandra looked at me with a probing gaze. “Is anything wrong with Uncle Franco's business?” she asked.

I sighed, knowing that this would be a very long night.“Well, she's just a friend,” Franco said, trying to keep his voice calm. “You can believe whatever you want, but it's the truth.” “The last time we believed you, it was a mess,” she said, her voice mocking. I winced at her words, knowing she was referring to my contract marriage. “It was a contract marriage, so partially I didn't lie,” he said, trying to defend himself. “You knew what you were getting into.” “You lied by omission,” she said, her voice cold. “You told me you were married for five years.
