All Chapters of Love At Last: Billionaire's Contracted Bride: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

(Kendall's POV)I woke up to the sound of the alarm buzzing through the brightly lit room. Groggily stretched my hands lazily and turned off the alarm.I twirled to see that Stephen was off the bed already, probably having his morning routine.As I sat on the bed, consciousness gradually took hold of my senses. My mind started to recall the events of the previous night, sending an electrifying shiver down my spine. A small smile curved my lips, and I couldn't help but blush at the memory of the intense and pleasurable encounter I had with Stephen.The warmth of his body still lingered on my skin, and my senses were flooded with vivid recollections of his touch. I could almost feel the weight of his hands, strong and sure, as they caressed every inch of my body, igniting a fiery desire within me. The sensation of his fingers tracing delicate patterns along my spine, sending waves of pleasure cascading through me, was etched into my memory.Recalling that today was a school day and th

(Frederick's POV)I let out a sigh immediately as I opened the door and let myself into the house. The house, although large, lacked maids as most of them left when we could not pay their salaries again for the second month.My eyes gazed around the luxurious living room. I could go back to poverty as I could not lose all these but acquire more. I have to follow through and implement my plans for Kendall.Taking a deep breath, I ascended the stairs and ambled toward the master's bedroom. Exhaling deeply, I dropped my case to the floor and collapsed into the bed. I was greatly exhausted from the flight. The flight from Mexico to California was supposed to be a quick one, but for some weather reasons, our flight was delayed and we were not able to take off at the exact time. This affected our landing time as well.I knew I had to shower, but I was too tired to do so. My entire body aches like I collided with a big metallic ball. After some minutes, I groggily lifted myself from the bed

(Antonio's POV)I sat alone in my office as the sharp glow of the white bulb hanging on the ceiling cast a warm hue inside the office. To contribute to the ambiance in the atmosphere, a piece of slow music was playing in the background.With a furrow on my face, I clicked on the new pages of plans outlined on my laptop; studying them meticulously like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle I needed to conjoin so as not to miss a deadline.On the headings and the footers of each page had Stephen's name, a symbol of his success, and my envy. For a long time ago, I harbored in my heart a truckload of envy toward Stephen from the moment he was born.I had put in so much commitment and work toward the company, and for what? His parents just handed everything to him, leaving just a little percentage of the shares for me. Thank God, I got my pound of flesh by arranging their death.I had dedicated countless hours to this company. I had poured my sweat, my intellect, and my soul into every project, and ev

(Stephen's POV)I stood beside the window, staring at the beautiful evening rays of the sun that began to set. My hands formed into fists. I was trying to hold down the anger that burned within me.We had just lost a major contract, and I needed answers. I went to his office immediately after I got back from a meeting and didn't find him sitting."Where have you been?" I immediately blasted at Antonio when he entered the study room.The expression on his face told him he was seemingly unaware of the gravity of the situation."Antonio," I began, my tone firm and direct, filled with anger. "I've been looking for you everywhere. Where have you been?"Antonio gazed directly at me, a hint of surprise crossing his face as he tried to know what the problem was."Oh, Esteban," he replied casually, his tone lacking the urgency that the situation demanded. "Did the secretary not tell you? I went out to have a meeting with some of our suppliers. Is there a problem? What is wrong?"I could not he

(Antonio's POV)I stared out of the window into the already bustling city.It was 7:30 and the early morning breeze was whirling across the city already. Sounds of vehicles and buses trying to meet up with the morning rush echoed through the waves, reaching my ears."Sir, here's the coffee you ordered," the cafeteria attendant called out, breaking my straying mind back."Oh okay, thank you. How much is it? I asked, putting my hands into my pocket and trying to get out my wallet."It's free sir, we give out our first twenty cups as bonuses, sir," she replied with a smile."Wow! Thank you," I responded just before dropping a hundred-dollar tip and exiting the coffee shop.As I walked to my car, the aroma wafted up to greet my senses and I noticed the morning rays streamed in, casting a warm glow on the bustling city below.Tall buildings which almost reached the heavens, their glass front view reflecting the golden hues of dawn. It was a sight that never failed to captivate me.Standing
