The CEO's Contract Lover Always loved you
“Do you really not want me to visit you?”“Yes,” Nina replied softly,Jayden continued to gaze at her, his eyes fixed on her lovely face. After a moment of silence, he nodded.Strangely, instead of feeling relieved, Nina was disappointed.“I won’t disturb you again,” Jayden said earnestly. “However, before that, can you accompany me somewhere?”“No.” Nina rejected him almost immediately.“Just one last time, okay? Please, accompany me, and after that, I won’t show you my face again.”Nina hesitated.Gazing into his dark eyes, she felt as though they had the power to enchant her like a bewitching potion. She contemplated for a moment, before agreeing. “One last time, Jayden.”——On the weekend, as the golden rays of the sun streamed through the apartment’s window, there was a knock at the door.Nina opened the door to find a package, along with a beautifully crafted envelope lying on her doorstep.Curious, she opened the envelope and discovered a card inside."Thank you for accepting th

"If only I could pull open my heart for you to see, would you realize how much I love you."Nina’s eyes turned red, and she hugged his waist. “I love you more,” she declared. She felt an urgency to express her feelings, realizing there wouldn't be a time like this again.With a sniffle, she continued. “Jayden Luxton, you are my first and only love. You’re my family, the person who gave me a home. You’ve spoiled me and filled my heart with warmth. Because of the complexity of our relationship, I acted like I didn't care about you. But deep inside, I would wake up in dread, fearing that you wouldn’t want me anymore.”Just the thought of being abandoned by him suffocated her.“That’s not true.”"Maybe not, but have you seen yourself in the mirror? You always sport that cold and menacing face as though someone owes you a billion dollars.”Jayden touched his nose sheepishly. “You know I’m not good with words,”“But I’m your woman,” Nina raised her voice indignantly. “I don’t care how you de

Her well-manicured fingers tapped on the polished surface of the bar.Her gaze wandered across the lounge until it settled on Nina, who sat alone in a corner. Seeing her lonely figure, she felt melancholic.She was acutely aware of the hardships and challenges that Nina had faced throughout her life, and seeing her treated unfairly tugged at her heart.In fact, her intentions for tonight’s gathering were to uplift Nina’s

Amidst their banter, Krystal suddenly stood up and walked to the center of the room.“In that case, Sean, don’t you think you also have some explaining to do? Where’s your washboard?” she questioned.Her words frightened Sean and he ran towards the door, wanting to escape. But Krystal signaled the guards, who promptly blocked the exits, trapping him in the room.“Are you happy now?” Seeing the chaos that had ensued, Liam couldn’t help but ask Nora, who was so overjoyed that tears filled her eyes.“I raised them well!” Nora declared, patting her chest.She then grabbed his chin, forcing him to meet her gaze. “Where’s your sense of camaraderie?” she asked.The smirk on Liam’s face faded, and he leaned in, seeking a way out for himself. “But I did nothing, right?”“But you did in the past. And I’ve never punished you for it. So make up for your mistakes.”Everyone knew Liam was a slave to his little girlfriend.With no other option, he reluctantly joined the lineup alongside Jayden and Se

As Nora observed the unfolding scene before her, and a sense of déjà vu washed over her, compelling her to intervene.However, Liam restrained her, preventing her from taking any action.Nora glared at him as she fought against his grasp, trying to break free.Stefan exchanged a glance with Liam, and suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her neck, and before she could comprehend what was happening, she lost consciousness“Take her away,” Stephen commanded.He knew his sister held a deep concern for Nina, but this was an issue that needed to be resolved between the couple.Kris trailed behind them angrily. He knew he wouldn’t be able to control himself if he continued to watch.Only Stefan, Irene, and Krystal were left in the room, and the air was thick with tension. “I was scared,” Nina said with tears in her eyes.“Scared of what?”“Scared of losing you.”Her fear of losing him had driven her to react impulsively at that moment.As Emilia’s words sunk in, she was terrified of the cons

“Ahh…” A lewd moan resounded inside the room.The sounds of flesh hitting each other could be heard in the silent night.Nina wished she could block her ears, but the restraints on her hands rendered her helpless.Lying motionless on the floor, tears rolled down her cheeks as the unpleasant noise intensified.After years of hiding, she was back to square one. Trapped in the same haunting reality she had once escaped.This was the life she had endured for fourteen long years.Clenching her teeth, Nina endured the torment until the disturbing noise subsided.“Enough, my body can’t take it anymore.” Kristen panted heavily.A rough voice that seemed to belong to a man sounded. “Okay.

Why don’t you let me-”“Don’t even think about it,” Kristen said sternly. “I’ve kept her alive because a party has offered 10 million dollars for her.”“10 million dollars!!!” The man raised his voice.“Shh!

The CEO's Contract Lover Finale (2)
“I think this is a lot for Nina to process right now,” Jayden said in a protective tone. “We appreciate you sharing this with us, but she needs some time. We’ll talk about it later when she’s ready.” Isaac and Alaina exchanged a glance, recognizing the need for patience and understanding. “Of course,” Isaac replied, his voice gentle. “We’ll be here whenever she’s ready to talk.” At that moment, Isaac’s phone rang, breaking the heavy silence in the room. He excused himself with an apologetic look and answered the call. As he listened to the voice on the other end, his expression changed drastically. After a brief conversation, he hung up and turned to the couple. His expression was somber as he stood up and held Alaina’s hand. “I’m sorry, but I have urgent work that requires my immediate attention. We’ll have to leave for now, but we'll visit again soon.” “Take care, both of you.” Isaac nodded at them. Alaina, though confused, followed her husband. She gave a reluctant glance at
The CEO's Contract Lover Finale (1)
Speaking of his daughter, Nina, he almost cried when he thought about the abuse she had suffered at Kristen’s hands. While his daughter had to tread on thin ice just for a meal, Kristen’s illegitimate child was enjoying the luxuries that never belonged to her! Unknowingly, he had added to his daughter’s sufferings. Isaac’s regret and anguish over the past intensified as he considered the stark contrast in the lives of the two children. When he realized Nina was his and Alaina’s daughter, he immediately ordered his men to do a background check on her. Everything began to fit into pieces when he found out about Nina's relationship with Kristen. Isaac looked at the woman in front of him with disgust and called the officer over. Jayden had already done an excellent job in ensuring that Kristen faced the consequences of her actions. As for Isaac, he was determined to ensure that Kristen would rot in prison for the rest of her life, wishing she was never born. Meanwhile, the situati
The CEO's Contract Lover The truth
Isaac’s face turned ashen, and he rushed toward Alaina. Everything happened so suddenly that he could not react in time. And when he came to his senses, there was already a long cut on Alaina’s forearm. “Alaina, are you okay?” Isaac asked, his voice trembling with heartache. “I-I’m fine,” Alaina nodded, though the pain was clear in her eyes. Her arm continued to bleed, prompting Isaac to call out urgently, “Somebody, call an ambulance.” Shocked, Emilia dropped the knife from her hand. The blood drained from her face when she realized the gravity of her actions. Everyone knew Alaina was the apple of Isaac’s eye and that he treated her like a treasure. Emilia’s heart trembled when she thought about how she had inadvertently touched his Achilles' heels. She watched as everyone in the house scrambled to send Alaina to the hospital. Overwhelmed with fear and guilt, he slipped away and retreated to her room. She locked the door, hoping Isaac wouldn’t settle scores with her if any
The CEO's Contract Lover Beg him
“I’m fine. Just a little tired,” Jayden replied weakly, his eyes still closed. “I’ll be alright after sleeping for a while.” His reassurance didn’t ease Nina’s worry, though. Her heart pounded in her throat, and she could not calm down. Wiping away her tears, a trace of stubbornness appeared in her eyes as she left the ward. Once again, Nina found herself standing in front of the imposing estate. This time, she came alone and did not alert anyone. Although Jayden forbade her from contacting Isaac, fear overrode her senses. She couldn’t shake the haunting image of waking up to his cold, lifeless body one day. The door creaked open, and Nina slipped inside, her eyes scanning the elegant foyer. She knew she was pushing her luck, but she had to convince Isaac no matter what. Turning a corner, she found herself in the expansive living room. There, seated on the sofa, was none other than Emilia Moore. After suffering multiple setbacks in life, nothing seemed to have changed for E
The CEO's Contract Lover Don't leave
“WHAT!?” The room erupted in uproar. “No! You can’t. What about my son?” Lilian protested hysterically. “That’s my final order,” William asserted authoritatively. “As for you,” he addressed the woman, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, “Let’s get a divorce.” Lilian’s eyes widened, and she slumped onto the chair with a thud. “No…” William paid no attention to her. His old body could not hold on any longer. He patted Jayden’s shoulder lightly before turning to leave. Watching him walk away, panic seized Lilian. She jumped from her seat and dashed forward. Kneeling, Lilian grasped William’s legs and pleaded for mercy. “Husband, I’m sorry. I was blinded by greed. I acknowledge my mistake, and I promise I’ll turn over a new leaf. Please don’t abandon me,” she begged. The weight of her actions only became clear when she lost everything. Without the title of Mrs. Luxton, she was nothing. “Husband…” Lilian continued to create a scene, but it was to no avail. The guards hel
The CEO's Contract Lover Proud of him
“Don’t forget, I’m still the CEO.” Jayden looked at her coldly. A derisive snicker resonated in the room that came from Jayden’s uncles. Back when William suddenly fell ill, The Luxton Corporation faced imminent danger. During that period, it was Jayden who resurrected the Luxton Corporation from the brink of collapse. Under his leadership, the business flourished with each passing day. They were indignant about letting an illegitimate son take the position of CEO. However, Jayden’s ability to manage the business left everyone speechless. Throughout the years, they had silently consented to let him toil for the Luxton Corporation. However, now that he had a few days to live, they couldn’t wait to overthrow him. “Jayden, have you forgotten that you’re a dying man right now? How much more do you think you can invest?” They mocked. He had already outlived his usefulness and so there was no need for him to stay at the company. Nina’s heart chilled at their words. Among those pre
The CEO's Contract Lover Dethrone him
With a gesture to the servant, Isaac instructed him to chase them out of his house.Although they already knew the outcome, dejection settled over Nina as they left the residence.She opened the door when she saw Jayden’s intense gaze fixed upon her.Despite his sickly pallor, his domineering aura couldn’t be concealed.Sensing the tension, Nina felt amiss. “H-Hey, you’re up?”Jayden remained silent, his icy gaze unyielding. Instead of acknowledging her greeting, he asked instead, “Where have you been?”“Nowhere in particular. I just went to learn about your treatment plan with the doctor…” Nina replied, trying to keep her tone steady.“Is that so?”Nina nodded.“Was the doctor’s name Isaac Moore?”The smile on Nina’s face froze.The look in Jayden’s eyes sent a shiver down her spine; there was a dangerous gleam that made her heart race.Panic flashed across her face when she realized Jayden had figured out everything. Helpless, she started to speak, “Jayden, I—”“Enough!” Jayden inte
The CEO's Contract Lover Hope
"I missed you. While you were away, I've never stopped thinking about you," she admitted.How could she be so selfish as to abandon him and leave everything behind? The very man who had been the reason she could step out of her shadows.She had let go of his hand when he needed her the most. The thought of not being there to witness his final moments was so agonizing that it felt like a sharp pain was piercing through her heart, leaving her breathless.Nina wiped away her tears and assured Jayden, “I’m here now. And I’ll never leave your side.”Without waiting for his reply, she expressed her intention to speak to his doctor.As she left the ward, a streak of worry flashed across Jayden’s face, “Nina…”In the doctor’s office.Closing the door behind her, Nina anxiously approached the doctor. “Doctor, how is Jayden’s situation?”The doctor furrowed his brow. “Who are you?”“I’m his wife, Nina Luxton,” she declared. She was his wife in this life and she would be his wife even after he d
