The Trillionaire's Contractual Bride Chapter 37
CLAIREMy heart pounded frantically within my ribcage as Asher fingers drove in and out of my core. The words coming out of my mouth were jumbled up together and meaningless. I knew it was gibberish mixed with a repetition of Asher's name. He whispered from dirty promises as he effortlessly delivered mind-wrecking pleasure with his fingers.I tried to recover, but it wasn't easy; it was almost impossible. Especially when his hands were all over me. My thoughts were as jumbled up together as the words in my mouth. I should have known that this moment was going to happen between us, but eventually. There was already too much chemistry between us.The sexual tension was becoming difficult to ignore with each day that passed by. I didn't want this moment to end. I wanted many other moments like this. I wanted to feel. I needed to feel like this every day. I paused as I felt myself heading towards the brink of release.My grip tightened on Asher's shoulders as I tried to steady myself. Ev

CLAIRE My eyes fluttered open. I don't know how long I've been asleep. I only knew that I felt too comfortable to move. This was the most relaxed that I've been in a long time. Somehow I wanted to pause this memory and capture it forever. I closed my eyes and sighed with contentment. It was then that I registered the warmth from the body that was coming next to me. I was buried in the crook of Asher's arm. His grip was firm and tight, like he was too afraid to let go. I didn't mind it. I could stay here all day if it were possible. I took my time admiring his features. The corners of my lips tilted up into a smile unconsciously as I stared at him for a moment longer than necessary. The hard edges of his face had become softer. His lashes framed his face, giving his cheekbones some sort of lift. I didn't know why it was alluring to look at him. I only knew that I never got tired. “If you keep on looking at me like that, I'll take that as an invitation to kiss you,” he mumbled sleep

ASHER I don't have a reason while I've seen smiling like an idiot. I just know that my chest didn't feel heavy. Heck. I can't even remember the last time I felt sick. I can't remember the last time I went for a checkup. I didn't see the need to. Besides, no checkups meant no more bad news from the doctor.It was almost as if Claire came in and suddenly everything was better. I couldn't go a second without thinking of an elaborate way to make her happy. Tonight I was thinking about surprising her with a candlelit dinner. We've been having dinner at home, and I wanted it to be different. You're just using it as a cover-up to see her in a dress. I didn't bother denying it. I was completely and utterly infatuated. I settled in the office ten minutes later before my assistant walked in. “You have a meeting scheduled for today,” she said. I could tell she was anxious from the way she twisted her fingers nervously. I looked at the file on my desk and realized that I've missed four meetin

ASHER“You're back to stay?” I asked, I didn't want to believe I had heard her correctly. Surely, Liah didn't think she could walk into my life just like that.“Yes, darling. I've been gone for so long, and I know you miss me,” she replied, placing the tip of her index finger on my shoulder.I gently pushed it off. Silently, I slid my hands into my pockets, taking in the atmosphere.One glance at my secretary, and she knew her presence was neither required, nor wanted. She walked out.“How about we have a seat? Maybe we can catch up on things,” Liah suggested,As much as I wanted to toss her out the window, I knew I couldn't.For starters, I needed her father's investment. “Yeah, let's get seated,” I agreed,We walked to the conference table, and I took my rightful spot.On seeing that she had literally any spot to sit, she took the one to my right hand.“So, how have you been?” She asked in that cute, light tone of hers.I sighed. There was something about Liah’s presence that alw

CLAIRE As I hurried towards the board room where Asher's assistant directed me to. My heart pounded frantically within my chest. Everything was happening. As I stepped outside. People's gazes lingered on me for a little longer than necessary. The attention I received made me want to crawl in my skin. It took every atom of composure to ignore it.I closed my eyes and sighed. I could already feel the pounding in my head. As I opened the door, I froze by the doorway as I took in the sight of Asher and another woman standing closer than usual. Asher pulled away almost immediately as his eyes met mine. I could feel my heart shattering to a million pieces. Breathe. And yet it was impossible. I was barely functioning. I could feel the air in my lungs beginning to constrict in my throat. “I was about to make my way over to your office,” he said. I remained silent. The words were stuck on the tip of my tongue, and I didn't exactly know what to say. My gaze traveled from him to the woman th

CLAIRE I spent the rest of the night tossing and turning. I had no one to blame for my turmoil apart from myself. I closed my eyes, and I tried to will the sleep to come, but I was unsuccessful. I should have said something. Maybe I shouldn't have made my jealousy such a big deal, but now I've acted on it, and I was beyond terrified that it was too late to take everything back. Something between us had been destroyed, and I couldn't shake off the nibbling guilt that I had been the one to destroy it. I stared at the ceiling in agony. The room was still dark, and I was certain that it was only the wee hours of the early morning. This was the first time that I was sleeping here without him. My heart crashed at the fact that I wouldn't be waking up next to him anymore. I wouldn't get to see him smile. I wouldn't have the opportunity to have breakfast with him once more. The lingering possibility of the both of us drifting apart terrified the hell out of me. I sprang up into a sitting p

ASHER “I don't want to be far from you anymore; it's torture.” That's what I wanted to say to Claire, word for word, as she quietly took little bites out of the French toast served in front of her on the table.Instead, I said nothing.Not a word.I just looked at her as she ate.Claire had no idea what she was doing to me, and quite honestly, I didn't either.I had barely slept the night before. I mean, how could I? It was complete torture knowing that Claire definitely thought otherwise because of what she had seen from my interaction with Liah. She kept hammering on the fact that she didn't care, but she wasn't fooling me. I could clearly see it on her face.I had hurt her.And no amount of explanation would be able to explain what Claire would have seen. From her perspective, whether or not Liah was coming on to me or vice versa, we were both in an extremely comprising position. I wondered how obvious it was that I didn't sleep a bit last before. I felt tired, and I could bare

CLAIRE I got back from the office. I got off earlier than I usually did. I haven't exactly been taking work seriously as I used to before. Who would have thought that I would close from work early before the supposed time? Maybe because it was the weekend and I was looking forward to spending the free time with my husband. My heart tingled as I lingered on the word like it was foreign. The thought of coming home to spend time with'my husband’ made my stomach roll with excitement. My heart tugged a bit in disappointment when I found out that he wasn't yet back from the office. With time, maybe I could convince him to move back in with me. His absence from the room was so achingly taunting that I was almost scared to spend one more night in this room alone. Today was a Friday, meaning I got to take him out to discover a new hobby. I decided that there was no point waiting for him to get home. I would use the time to prepare.I decided that this was the perfect time to run myself a b

He pinned Regal with an empty look. It was hard to tell what was going through his mind but I was sure that I didn't want to imagine it. I hoped for the life of me that the both of you wouldn't act on the tension between them. Their staring competition finally came to an end when the chefs brought over a plate of grilled turkey. The delicious aroma hit me and I was more than ready to dig in. I needed something to distract me from this tense dinner and grilled turkey seemed like the perfect option. “I can tell you how much I have missed this,” Liah finally spoke up. She smiled. “Barbecue. An outdoor dinner. All of it sounds too familiar. Don't you think Asher,” she grinned at him. Why she even felt the need to go down memory lane, regardless of the fact that she no longer had an effect was beyond me. It no longer bothered to the extent that I felt the need to get jealous but it did irritate the hell out of me. Why was she so concerned about trying so hard?“It doesn't, Liah,” Asher

CLAIRE Awkward silence lingered between the both of us for a moment. It was like we were unable to say anything else after that. My heart raced within the confines of my chest as I waited for his reaction. I closed my eyes and sighed. I was exhausted and I wasn't sure that I was emotionally strong to endure another fight.“You're really not going to say anything?You're just going to keep quiet and be silent,’’ I finally broke the silence between us when I couldn't find it within me to endure it any longer. He remained silent as he headed over to the pool and settled down on the edge of the pool. He dipped his legs in and ran his fingers through his hair. I could feel the irration radiation from him in waves and I was unable to say or do anything about it. I struggled for the right thing to say. I could feel the words on the tip of my tongue but no matter how I tried. It was almost as if I wouldn't be able to get anything right. I was caught in-between the need to go back into the

CLAIRE “There's nothing to talk to you about,” the tone of my voice came off as cold and dismissive and no regret accompanied after. All I wanted to do was to be rid of his presence so I could make my way over to Asher. I closed my eyes to put my emotions under composure. I watched something flash across his eyes at the tone of my dismissal and I felt nothing whatsoever. I didn't feel the fear that I would usually feel each time I looked at him. All I felt was discomfort and irritation rising to the surface of my skin. I held back any insult that might have been stuck on my tongue. This wasn't the time to get into any arguments. “I know. After last night, I realized-” he paused like he was rethinking his words. I watched as the hurt flashed through his eyes as he held my gaze and I felt surprised. The Regal that I knew didn't care about anyone but himself. He didn't bother to think about the impact that his decisions might have on his emotions. He didn't care about anything else.

CLAIRE “I'll have you know that you're abnormally quiet. When you wanted us to join them for breakfast. I was getting the idea that you were beginning to feel better. Asher shifted the stray strand of hair that almost fell into my eyes as I laid back on the bed. The soft surface of the bed was comforting, and at least I had the luxury of time to relax.I closed my eyes and sighed. I was exhausted as I closed the small distance between Asher and me. In these past few days that passed by, he was the only thing that made sense. The only thing that stopped me from running out of my damn mind. If not, I doubted that I would be able to keep it together. I nuzzled my nose in the nape of his neck and sighed. He smelled divine. As usual. “I am better. I just wished I had the power to just make them disappear, you know,” I said as I furrowed my eyebrow slightly. “When I accepted Liah into the house. I was only doing it because I didn't want you to go through the stress of the tantrums that

CLAIRE Dinner at the dining table was awkward. Silence lingered between all of us at the table. The mint tea had dulled my headache earlier, so my appetite had returned. Not fully, but enough to put something in my stomach. Liah stared at me like she couldn't recognize me. I ignored her. I wasn't really in the mood to exchange comebacks, and if she made any attempt to get under my skin,. Then I was going to let her because I didn't know what else I could do. I closed my eyes and sighed for a short moment. I scanned my mind for whatever fun activity Asher and I could do. Our vacation was already coming to an end, and there were only two days left before we would return back home to our busy schedule. I didn't want to spend the rest of the days indulging in the drama that seemed to generate whenever Annabelle and Liah were present. I wasn't going to be indulging them. Not when there was so little time. “Do you feel better now?” Annabelle broke the silence between us. I was speechless
The Trillionaire's Contractual Bride Chapter 122
CLAIRE I groaned as I turned around. All I could feel was the loud pounding in my head. I turned around to see Asher staring at me with a small smile on his face. I was disconcerted for a short moment. My eyes were half closed. I raised my eyes to the clock. It was well into the afternoon. “How long have I been out?” I said. His fingers tenderly traveled through the strands of my hair. My eyes fluttered closed at the tenderness of his touch. I leaned into him. I cringed as the pounding in my head intensified. I closed my eyes for a brief moment. “I feel like I'm in hell,” I muttered under my breath as I relaxed my head against his chest while his arms wound around me almost immediately. “Trust me when I tell you that it could have been worse if you hadn't been hydrated yesterday,” he said. Before I could say anything in return, I felt the bile rise in the back of my throat. I quickly stepped down from the bed and rushed into the bathroom as far as I could. I closed my eyes and

CLAIREI could feel my heart screaming in disappointment as Asher pulled away. I captured his face in-between my hands and leaned forward to kiss him but he pulled away before I could. I felt the ache in the pit of my stomach and brows furrowed. Even if I was drunk, I could still feel the pain in my heart. I was tired and exhausted from being outside for so long and having a squabble with Annabelle and my stupid ex husband but for some reason, I couldn't seem to drag my attention away from the throbbing in-between my thighs. I wanted him. No. I needed him. “I'm not going to repeat this again. You're sober and you need rest. I'm not going to take advantage of this situation. You're drunk and your emotions are all over the place,” he said softly. I blinked in surprise. I didn't know what to reply that exactly. I was caught in-between convincing him or letting it go. I settled for the first. I leaned into him, wrapping my arms around his neck to steady myself. “I'm not drunk, I promi

CLAIRE “Take it easy. You've had too much to drink. I knew giving you more cocktails was a bad idea. Asher steadied me gently as I almost staggered in the other direction. His hand wound around my waist, and for some reason, I leaned into him. Everything was a blur. We had been drinking, and we had been laughing at the spot on the rooftop with so much to drink at Lance's diner. Lance couldn't come around because he had been busy and occupied by the customers that he had. And I couldn't blame him. I didn't blame him. It was such a busy night. I closed my eyes and sighed in satisfaction. The chicken wings and the tacos were literally the best that I had ever tasted. And I ate until I was sure that there was no space left in my stomach, and I insisted that we stay back and have some more cocktails. Of course, Asher had a weakness for my request, so he agreed, and now here I was. Barely able to keep it together, but it wasn't a problem because he was always there to hold me. “Everywh
