All Chapters of THE CONTRACT WIFE: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CHAPTER 61 – Lucas’ POV I seethed with anger, feeling the flames of fury burning within me. How dare she run away again? She acted as if she didn't know us, and it infuriated me to no end. “Let me go, mister! Who are you? Do I know you?” she exclaimed, her voice filled with confusion and pain. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The woman I loved so deeply seemed to have no recollection of me. “Zara... please, I've been searching for you tirelessly. I miss you, our son, and our life together. Why didn't you come with us? Did I do something wrong? Let's talk about it. Don't just disappear like this, my love,” I pleaded, feeling exhausted and on the verge of kneeling before her. She shook her head, anger evident in her voice. “I said I don't know you! Why do you know my name? Who are you? Let go of me, or I'll scream for help!” Her words stung me, and I could see the fear in her eyes. That's why I released my grip, and Zara ran away immediately. Enrique, my son, was about to chas

CHAPTER 63 – Zara’s POV As the sun began to set, I made my way back to the vacation house. Inside, I noticed a young boy sitting on the sofa, and a surge of unfamiliar emotions washed over me. He had been the boy who had hugged me on the island that day. The boy who had embraced me with such longing. Unbeknownst to me, tears had started to flow from my eyes. Was this what they called a surge of emotions? Why did I feel such a strong connection to this child? And when our eyes met, he had jumped up from his seat and wrapped his arms around me. He had buried his face in my embrace, and that's where we had cried together. “Mom, I missed you. Please don't leave me. I'll do anything! I'll be a good boy, I'll be honest, I'll make you proud... Just don't leave me, I feel so lonely,” he had sobbed. I had wiped his tears with my hand, kissed his forehead, and brushed his hair. I could see the resemblance between us, even though he looked more like Lucas. Could it be true? Was my husband r

CHAPTER 65 – Zara’s POV It was a surreal feeling to be back. The overwhelming happiness and boundless joy consumed me as I returned after a long period of being lost and separated. My life had been taken away from me all because of a misguided love. I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions towards Nick. He had been a good friend for a long time and had helped me in many ways. However, he also owed me a lot. His persistent feelings had stolen so much of my time. But deep down, I understood his feelings too. He was also a victim of circumstances and his own emotions. I wanted to listen to him, to hear his explanation. But for now, anger burned inside me, overshadowing any desire for understanding. It was a painful feeling, knowing that so much time had been wasted. Even now, I couldn't shake off the heaviness in my heart. The significant amount of time that Nick took away from me left me upset. It was time that should have been filled with happiness, a time when we were building ou

CHAPTER 67 – Zara’s POV It seemed like the glass I was holding slipped from my hand, and it shattered, cutting me in the process. The pain stung, a physical representation of the emotional turmoil I was going through. I was in the kitchen, cooking breakfast while Lucas and our son haven't come down yet. Suddenly, I was overwhelmed by an inexplicable nervousness, and that's why I dropped the glass and got injured. Lucas quickly approached me, seeing my bleeding hands, and scolded me, “You need to be more careful, my dear!” “I don't know, I just suddenly got really nervous! That's why I dropped the glass. I'm sorry! Please don't be angry,” I said, feeling overwhelmed. He sighed with defeat in his voice, “Alright, just be careful next time, okay? Don't make me worry!” Then we decided to call Enrique, but the maid informed us that he was not in his room. Panic started to set in, and my phone rang from an anonymous number. Trembling, I answered the call. “Hello!” I said. “Hello, lov

CHAPTER 69 – Zara’s POV We headed straight to Dr. Brown's clinic. Once we parked the car in the parking lot, we got out. The clinic was a three-story building. As soon as we entered, my husband immediately caught everyone's attention. Ever since I had known him, Lucas had always been like that. He effortlessly captured anyone's attention. His presence was enough to command respect and admiration at the same time. He was tall, with a perfect face, and he epitomized the idea of a handsome man. I felt so lucky among all the women in the world that he chose me. There was nothing particularly special about me, but he still chose me, even though I had disappeared for three years like a bubble. I wasn't a girl with self-confidence. I could barely stand up for myself. I didn't know how to be the best, and yet I was lucky to have someone like him. He had fallen in love with me deeply. It was back in college when we had met. He had been like a star I couldn't reach. He had been like the mo
