All Chapters of Contracted To A Stripper : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

William POVI arrived at the office later that day, ready to dive back into work after a week spent with Lily and August. As I stepped into the building, I felt a renewed sense of purpose. Whatever they say about marriage making people happier is true. Honestly, there is no explanation for why I am so happy. Lily and I did not really do anything, but still…As I walked down the hallway toward my office, employees greeted me and stumbled out of the way. Toby was walking closely behind me. He entered his office beside mine as I reached my office door and pushed it open, expecting to be greeted by the familiar sight of my neatly organized desk and the stacks of files awaiting my attention.Instead, I was met with the unexpected presence of my younger brother, Damian, lounging casually in one of the chairs in front of my desk. His posture was relaxed, but his eyes held a familiar glint of malice.“Damian,” I said the name with disdain. “Why are you here?” I demanded, closing the door behi

Lily's POV“Hi Lily, I was in a meeting and left my phone in the office. I heard your voice note. what is going on?” William asked. He sounded out of breath like he had just finished working out.“Did you just finish working out?” I blurted out. What the heck is wrong with me?!“Huh?”“Umm, well, you sound out of breath. I was just wondering…”“No, I took the stairs to my office.”“Oh.”“Is that why you called? To ask if I just finished working out?” His tone was teasing. I would have died if he were in front of me. Will is the guy every girl is head over heels in love with. I want to be the different one—the one who doesn't give a shit about him. And I will be that once I learn how to put a leash on my stupid heart and my mouth.“What? No. Aria locked me out of the house. I wanted to ask if you had a spare key or something.”“Aria,” William growled through his teeth. “Give me a minute. I’ll be there.”“Okay. Thank you—and, and sorry. I did not mean to disturb you at work.”William on

William's POVIt took all the strength I had in this life and my next life to keep driving and not stop the car to do unspeakable things to Lily. Just like it took all my strength in this life and my next life not to devour her right in the garden. But Lily did not know that. She did not need to know that.The drive to the office was the worst torture I had ever endured. The atmosphere was off, not as awkward, but as if something was really wrong. I decided to wait until we got to the office before trying to fix it.### Lily's POVI did not know why I did not mentally prepare for this. I should have known by now that people would whisper and glare at me as long as I was seen with Will. When we first entered the reception hand in hand, everyone gasped and glared at me before running off to pretend like they were working.“Is that the wife?”“She is so young.”“She is not even his class.”“That whore!”“What is a thing like her doing with our boss?”“She is probably blackmailing him.”I

Lily POVWe managed to make it through the rest of the day without devouring each other, which was a miracle because Will kept staring at me as if he would jump on me any minute."Done for the day," He mumbled and snapped his laptop shut.I stood up from the couch and walked toward him. Will watched every movement."Hey, crybaby," he said when I came to a stop before him."I deserve that," I mumbled and picked up his laptop. I carefully placed it in his briefcase. "What else would you take home?" I asked, eyeing the neatly arranged files on his desk."I am very capable of packing my own bag.""I know, there is nothing you are not capable of."Will grunted."I am just trying to be helpful. I've been watching TikTok videos for hours while you worked.""Thank you," Will said."What else?"Will picked out some files, and I put them in his briefcase."You really shouldn’t be taking work home, you know. Learn to rest," I said, wiggling my nose."Then why did you put the files in the bag?"

Lily's POVI snaked my hand down to his waist, so close to reaching my goal, all that remained was—“Fuck no,” Will said, catching my hand.Something was happening to me. It was like hell inside me; I wanted the ground to swallow me. I wanted to be anywhere but here. I did not want Will anywhere close by. It took me a minute to realize what that emotion was: rejection. I had never experienced it. I had never been told no sexually. Not that I had many sexual experiences—all the experiences I had were with Will, except for my rape, which was not a sexual experience but something else I tried not to think about.“Lily, look at me.”I did not look at him. I had turned my face to the left, and for the second time that day, my eyes were leaking because of Will.“Lily,” he called, sharper this time. He tried to turn my head, and I batted his hands away.“What the hell, leave me alone!”Will looked torn and then confused.“What happened?” he asked. He was raking his eyes over me as if he coul
