The CEO's Contract Lover A cheap copy
Knowing he could not win against his wife, Jayden surrendered. Setting his priorities straight, he turned to Emma, apologetically. “I’m sorry my wife isn’t comfortable eating around strangers. Why don’t you join us next time?” Emma frowned at his behavior. She never expected him to blatantly chase her out. But now that he had, it would be unwise to linger behind. “It’s alright,” she replied, her tone magnanimous, as if she were brushing off the situation. Then, pretending as though Nina didn’t exist in the room, she offered a casual wave in Jayden’s direction. “See you around,” she added before leaving. Jayden acknowledged her with a simple nod. As the door closed behind Emma, the room fell into silence. Jayden’s hand tugged at Nina’s, urging her to follow him inside his office. However, to his surprise, she stood her ground, refusing to budge. He turned to look at her, a hint of irritation flickering in his eyes. “What now?” Still annoyed, Nina struggled to keep her voice ev
The CEO's Contract Lover Fallen in love (1)
After the call was hung up, the air inside the study turned somber.Nina slumped back in the chair as Madison’s mocking voice echoed in her ears.“You are just a mere replacement.”“LJ has been waiting patiently for her all these years.”“Bet you might not even know who your biological father is.”“He married you so that he could fill in the void left behind by Emma.”All the pieces of the puzzle suddenly began to fall into place.So, all along, she had been living in the shadow of a life that had never truly belonged to her. She was a substitute, a pathetic replacement of his true love he couldn’t let go of.As the truth settled in, the world seemed to close in around Nina.Suddenly, an unexpected downpour of tears fell onto the iPad screen one after another. The wetness on her cheeks startled her, and Nina instinctively reached out to wipe them away.She didn’t want to cry.Crying was for the vulnerable. Crying meant that it affected her. And she wasn’t weak.Taking a deep breath, s

“Have you fallen in love with me?”After he finished speaking, silence descended in the air. Other than their mixed heartbeats, one could hear nothing inside the empty study.For a moment, time seemed to have frozen in its place. Nina’s heart skipped a beat as she met Jayden’s intense gaze. Originally, Jayden just wanted to tease her. But when the words were laid out, his breath tightened as he anticipated her response.Suddenly, a mocking laugh resounded inside the room.Nina turned her gaze away, refusing to meet Jayden’s eyes. “I don’t dare fall in love with you, Mr. Luxton,” she replied bitterly. “I can’t afford it.”Taken aback by her words, Jayden couldn’t hide the disappointment in his eyes and his countenance changed. This time, it wasn’t just coldness; it was an intense and foreboding aura that seemed to radiate from him, causing Nina to involuntarily shiver.He raised his hand, his broad palm cupping Nina’s cheek with a firm grip, and pushed her against the door.The streng
The CEO's Contract Lover His obedient wife
After a long day at work, Jayden returned home late at night.He pushed open the door to their bedroom and found his wife lazing on the bed, scrolling through her social media. Glancing at her, he set aside his briefcase and removed his suit and tie before making his way into the bathroom.After a quick shower, he donned his black pajamas and returned to the bedroom.He noticed Nina had already fallen asleep and turned off the lights. Lifting the comforter, he lay beside Nina, who had her back facing him.The nights in Spring City had grown chilly these days.Without disturbing her, Jayden pulled her into his embrace and closed his eyes, his hand slipping inside her shirt. His broad palm squeezed her left breast, pinching her nipples as he planted a kiss on her cheek.Amidst the hushed atmosphere, Nina’s voice was heard.“Was the Irish coffee good?” she inquired, her fingers grazing the back of his hand that fondled her nipples with his fingers.The room was quiet, and only the rhythm
The CEO's Contract Lover My heart hurts
Under the heavy rain, Nina’s muffled sobs could be heard.In the distance, a car could be seen coming in her direction. As it reached near her, the car suddenly screeched to a halt. The door swung open, and a figure emerged, holding an umbrella.“Nina?” the person called out, approaching her in the dim light.Startled, Nina raised her head and squinted through the rain to see the person.To her disappointment, it wasn’t the familiar face she had hoped for, though her expression shifted with a sense of relief.“Tyler.” “How long have you been here for?” Tyler inquired, with concern in his voice.“About two hours,” she replied. Then, as if a realization struck her, she turned the question back on him. “What are you doing here?”“My office is nearby, remember?” Tyler responded bitterly.It was only then that it dawned on Nina. This area was close to the corporate district, and Tyler’s office was just a few kilometers away. She had completely forgotten about it.“I was working overtime t
The CEO's Contract Lover Stay away from her
The whispers in the air didn’t go unheard by her.She took in everything.The way Jayden and Emilia mingled with the crowd, the way he had draped his coat over her to provide warmth.The world saw them as the perfect couple, and their actions only confirmed their closeness.She saw it all.The only difference this time was that she felt nothing. Unlike the first time, when the sight had pierced her heart, this time she felt a numbing detachment.She downed the glass of wine and turned away from the scene below. Walking towards the open lawn, she found a secluded corner, away from the buzz of the crowd.Her heart, once warm and full of hope because of that man, had now grown cold.A gust of wind and rain blew over, causing Nina to shiver. However, the external cold couldn’t compare to the deep chill that had taken root in her heart.“Is it okay to torture yourself like this?” a gentle voice questioned as a warm coat was draped over her shoulders.Feeling the warmth on her shoulder, Nin
The CEO's Contract Lover Assassination attempt
“I’m sorry if I’ve hurt you. But trust me, it was never my intention.” It was true that he no longer had any romantic feelings for Emilia. Though he still regarded her as a friend and a business partner. As a gentleman, his instincts had driven him to act when he saw Emilia shivering in the cold, which had led to the following events. He couldn’t quite understand why Nina was making a fuss over it. Nevertheless, he was willing to make concessions and keep his distance from Emilia to ease the tension between them. “I don’t need your apology.” Nina looked into his eyes seriously and said. If an apology could fix everything, there was no need for the laws. “But I need you,” Jayden replied almost instantly. He leaned in closer, his voice carrying a hint of seduction as he caressed her back. “You know how much I want you.” “I crave you with every inch of my heart,” As he said that, he held her palm and placed it against his chest. Feeling the thumping of his heartbeat, Nina felt as
The CEO's Contract Lover No record
“You can inform Nina that you won’t be returning tonight.”A frown appeared on Isaac's face when he heard Emilia’s words.Ever since Emilia and Jayden broke up, the latter had never visited their manor. Later, the Moores also went overseas, gradually losing touch with each other.Isaac was a man of principles.Though one of his biggest regrets in life would be not having Jayden as his son-in-law, since they’ve already moved on, there was no need to rekindle old feelings.“Thanks, but I gotta go home,” Jayden declined.He appreciated their help, but he couldn’t hang around any longer. After all, it was his wife, Nina’s birthday, and she was waiting for him at home.Isaac breathed a sigh of relief on the inside, but Emilia didn’t seem thrilled with Jayden’s response.“Don’t be so stubborn, Jayden,” Emilia argued. “You’ve lost a lot of blood, and you can’t even stand straight. Can you bear to let Nina see you in this condition?”Her words made Jayden pause and reconsider his decision.Th

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
