All Chapters of Married for A Million Dollars : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Married for A Million Dollars:.Chapter 30: toxin is my happiness . She feels her toes curl inside her sneakers as Williams drills her further into the brick, hitching each of her legs up to coil around his slender waist. Hands pinned at either side, Williams forces her to submit in one flick of his tongue invading her mouth and dragging across her front teeth.Ariana tilts her head deeper into the kiss. Warmth pumps through her veins like a firecracker, popping at every tug, every stroke, every growl Williams emits. Their mouths, slick with heat, glide at a frantic pace as the friction of their swollen lips send an ecstatic release of tension, reducing them to a mewling mess.It’s so captivating, so desperate—like they both fear the disappearance of each other and are trying to make the best of their frozen time.Ariana gasps at Williams suddenly breaking away and dragging his lips across her jaw instead, keeping her head tilted to the side for easier access to her neck. The swee

Married for A Million Dollars:.Chapter 32: less of a good digger .Williams raises a brow. “Isn’t that what you’re doing? Cuddling with Aryan, ignoring me, pushing me away at arm’s length. The list goes on. If it isn’t punishment, then what is it?”“It’s called reinforcing the deal we had at your dad’s house,” Ariana bites out. “I clearly remember telling you this before, Williams. This isn’t punishment. It’s self-preservation. Just because you won’t bother protecting me, doesn’t mean I can’t defend myself.”“I’m not going to hurt you, Ariana. How many times do I have to tell you that? I may look like the villain here—forcing you to marry me, supporting my scam, and taking advantage of my father's trust—but I’d never hurt you.” He snaps. “Why can’t you understand that?”Both his persistence and solemn expression are nearly persuading, but Ariana’s aware that the young man has never tasted actual pain and therefore, isn’t acquainted with the many forms in comes in.She freezes when

Married for A Million Dollars:.Chapter 34: egotistically in love .Wincing, Ariana nervously glances between the two. “Let’s sit down and talk this over—”“Sorry, but I have to go. Enjoy the rest of the party.” Quincy silently excuses herself.“Wait, Quin—Quincy!”But she’s gone within seconds, leaving a whimpering Antonio in her arms. He looks nothing like his usual sleek, handsome self as his fringe mats against his forehead and eyes glaze in an intoxicated haze.She gently sets the mess down on a chair. “The fuck is wrong with you, huh? Where’d the confident, egotistic Antonio Montenegro go?”That clearly isn’t something to tell a drunk guy because Antonio doesn’t take it well. His face scrunches in distress. “Fuck off, Ariana. You don’t have to pretend that you care, because I know you don’t. My dislike towards you isn’t going to change Williams’s decision about marrying you. So you might as well drop your act.”Before she can open her mouth to protest, a shrill laugh startles

Married For A Million Dollars.Chapter 36: oh how I love you and I hate you at the same time .The next hour passes in a blur.All Ariana remembers are vague moments of the robbers getting arrested prior to a guy across the street spotting their brawl and calling the police after the first blow. Apparently, the guy had spotted them both bickering near the telephone booth before Elliot and Damien had approached them.The two are immediately carted off to the hospital as soon as they gave their statements. Ignoring her wrecked state, Ariana insists that Antonio be treated first since the backhand she received probably caused a serious concussion.Once Antonio’s out of sight, she confesses her very basic health insurance to a nurse, explaining that she could barely afford medical bills and therefore opted to sit out. Besides, it wasn’t like she broke a bone.Nor did she want to touch a single penny of Williams’s.The nurse, albeit hesitant, eventually lets Ariana off the hook due to

Married For A Million Dollars.Chapter 37: heated deep . “Ariana,” He mutters, soft and mellow and wounded.“Mmm.”Briefly quiet, Williams buries his face into the older’s palm before whispering, “I was scared.” His long lashes flutter across Ariana’s skin when his eyes shut close. “So, so, scared.”Although riveting thoughts continuously flood her mind for the past hour, Ariana strangely feels better. A tender ache, unrelated to her injuries, flares something sweet in her chest.She smiles faintly. “You and me both, Liam. You and me both.”******“There’s no way I’m staying over at your place.”“You don’t have a choice. It’s either that or I go to yours.” Williams says and drapes his overcoat around her shoulders.They’re sitting at the emergency ward two hours later, after going through several X-rays and a thorough examination. The doctor had only confirmed bruised ribs and a sprained wrist among other insignificant injuries before prescribing her high-end painkillers that com
