All Chapters of CONTRACT MARRIAGE : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Ethan's chest heaved as he tried to catch his breath. His fists throbbed from the force of his punches, and his heart raced with adrenaline.He looked at Emily, who stood by his side, her face marked with bruises and scratches."We did it," she said, a smile breaking across her face.Ethan nodded, relief flooding through him."Yeah," he said. "We did."The sound of police sirens echoed in the distance as they waited for the authorities to arrive.Ethan's mind raced as he tried to make sense of what had just happened. He had thought that their past was behind them, that they had finally moved on.But it seemed that the mastermind had other plans.As the police took the men into custody, Ethan and Emily watched, a sense of closure washing over them.It was finally over.Days turned into weeks as they settled back into their routine. But despite the sense of closure, Ethan couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.He couldn't put his finger on it, but there was a sense of unease

Emily spent the next few days trying to come up with a plan. She couldn't ask Ethan for help, as she didn't want to endanger him.Finally, she came up with an idea. She would pretend to be a jewelry appraiser and offer to evaluate the diamond for the man who wanted it. This way, she could get her hands on the diamond, and then deliver it to the man without raising suspicion.She spent the next few days researching everything she could about diamonds, learning everything she needed to know to pull off her plan.And then, she put her plan into action.She made contact with the man and told him that she was an appraiser who could evaluate the diamond for him. The man was hesitant at first, but Emily was persuasive, and she managed to convince him to bring the diamond to her.A few days later, the man arrived at Emily's cabin with the diamond. Emily took one look at it and knew that it was worth millions of dollars.She spent the next few hours evaluating the diamond, taking detailed note

Emily had a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, I'm in. What's the plan?"The man grinned. "First, we need to get you and your husband to safety. The boss is going to be coming after you now that you have that evidence."Emily felt a pang of fear in her chest. "How do we get to safety?""I have a safe house a few hours away from here," the man said. "We can take you there."Emily hesitated. "What about the evidence? We need to get it to the authorities.""We'll do that, too," the man said. "But we need to make sure you're safe first."Emily nodded. "Okay, let's do it."They made their way back to Ethan's car and the man gave them directions to the safe house. They drove in silence for a while, each lost in their thoughts.Finally, Ethan spoke up. "Do you trust that guy?"Emily hesitated. "I don't know. But we don't have a choice at this point."Ethan nodded. "I just don't want you to get hurt.""I'll be okay," Emily said, placing a reassuring hand on his arm.They arrived at the safe house

"I love you too," Emily replied, smiling up at him. "But we have to be careful. Who knows what other enemies we might have made?"Ethan nodded, his eyes scanning their surroundings. "You're right. We'll have to keep our guard up."As they walked, they heard footsteps behind them. They turned around to see a group of men approaching them."Looks like you two are in trouble again," one of them sneered.Emily's heart sank. They had just finished one fight, and now they were facing another.But Ethan didn't falter. He stood in front of Emily, ready to defend her. "We're not afraid of you," he said firmly.The men laughed, but Ethan didn't back down. He lunged forward, throwing punches and kicks with precision.Emily watched in awe as Ethan took down their attackers one by one. She knew that he was a skilled fighter, but she had never seen him in action before.In no time, the men were lying on the ground, groaning in pain. Ethan and Emily walked away unscathed.As they got into their car,

But as they walked towards their car, they saw a figure in black waiting for them. Emily's heart skipped a beat as she recognized the figure.It was the same person who had saved them twice before."You again," Ethan said, surprised.The figure nodded. "I'm glad to see that you're both safe," he said.Emily and Ethan exchanged a look of confusion. "Who are you?" Emily asked, her curiosity getting the best of her.The figure hesitated for a moment before finally removing his mask, revealing a face that Emily and Ethan knew all too well.It was Victor.Emily gasped in shock, unable to believe her eyes. "How did you escape?" she demanded.Victor smirked. "I have my ways," he said. "But I didn't come here to fight. I came to make a deal."Emily and Ethan exchanged a look of disbelief. They couldn't trust Victor, not after everything he had done."What kind of deal?" Ethan asked, his voice laced with suspicion.Victor's smirk widened. "I want to make a proposition. I'll give you something
