All Chapters of The Baby Contract : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

AARON’s POVI was accompanied by Cole into the mansion where everyone else was waiting for me.The news had been plastered all over the television, my face and name flashing on the screen as they reported my arrest and subsequent release on bail. It was surreal to see my own face on the news in such a negative light.Ugh. It fucking sucked to be painted black the whole damn time.As I entered the room, all eyes turned toward me, a mix of emotions evident on their faces. My father's stern gaze met mine, disappointment and frustration as clear as day in his eyes. He wasted no time launching into a lecture about how my behavior had once again landed me in the middle of a scandal."Have you learned nothing, Aaron?" he scolded, his voice sounding very loud and irritated. "It's always one thing after another with you. I raised you better than this."Mom placed a hand on my father's arm, attempting to defuse his anger. "Darling, let's not jump to conclusions. We don't know all the facts yet.

AARON’s POVI resisted the urge to punch him right then and there. Instead, I held his gaze, my voice unwavering. "Jake,bring the girl out now.”“What girl?” He asked with a smug look.“My maid,you bastard. Where are you keeping her?”He leaned forward and sighed.”Do you have any proof I took her? I don’t even know you’re speaking about. “Planting drugs in my house to ruin my reputation just because I got a role you had your eyes on? Is it my fault I am better than you?”“Just because you got married to a nobody and now you’re suddenly the apple of everybody’s eyes?” He sneered. “You are nothing compared to me Aaron Davis and you know this is a fact.”“So why are you bitter?” I said,my tone edgy as I stared hard at him.“Get the fuck out of my property,Davis. You’re wasting my damn time.” He said icily. And then he started calling on his guards to escort us out of the building.Cole whispered to me,”Come on man,we gotta go. There is no need to waste any more time with this scumbag. W

BELLA’s POVThe door to my shop swung open with a gentle tinkling of bells, and my heart skipped a beat at the sight that greeted me. The past week had been a whirlwind of excitement and nerves since I launched my jewelry and accessories store. Being a celebrity's wife certainly had its perks, and the shop was already bustling with customers who were intrigued by the products I curated. I couldn't believe how well my business was booming in such a short time.I was elated Aaron finally gave in to my pleas. And it has been about two weeks already and the scandal about him doing drugs had died down.The store was named "Glam Haven”, and adequately decorated and looked sophisticated.Glass display cases showcased an array of jewelry pieces, from delicate necklaces to intricate earrings. Shelves were filled with colorful scarves, stylish hats, and an assortment of handbags that would make any fashionista's heart skip a beat.I was busy arranging a new display when I caught sight of her

BELLA’s POVHis compliment sent a warm flush to my cheeks, and I smiled appreciatively. "Thank you, Noah."As we made our way to the party, I couldn't help but feel both excited and nervous.When we arrived, Noah introduced me to several guests, and I was pleasantly surprised by how welcoming and friendly they were.Later in the evening, I found a swing in a more secluded area of the venue. I swayed gently, taking in the atmosphere and the twinkling lights. Noah appeared beside me, and we shared a comfortable silence for a moment.“Thanks for bringing me out here,” I suddenly said.”It feels so good to be out without a huge crowd,flashing cameras and Aaron always by my side.”He raised a brow.”Aaron by your side? Isn’t he supposed to be?”“Yeah,but you’re forgetting he is the celebrity. And with him always around,I get unnecessary attention.”“True that. But you should have known what you were signing up for when you decided to marry my brother,right?”“Yes,but didn’t know it got a litt

BELLA’s POVI'd just finished dressing for the morning when the first message came through on my phone, accompanied by a news article that shook me to my core. It was a headline that I never thought I'd see: "Celebrity Jewelry Retailer, Bella Davis Accused of Selling Fake Diamonds."My heart plummeted as I read further. The article claimed that a certain customer, none other than Jasmine, had purchased diamonds from my shop and found them to be counterfeit. According to her, she'd used diamond testers and discovered that the stones were fake. She went on to accuse me of fraud and claimed that I was scamming innocent people.I felt like the ground had been pulled from beneath my feet. This was absurd, outrageous. It had to be a mistake or some kind of twisted prank. I quickly scrolled down, only to find that two more "testifiers" had sprung up, alleging similar experiences with my jewelry. Their claims seemed rehearsed, designed to destroy my reputation and my business.I knew immedia
