21. Her words are confusing.

A foster mom. Marriage by contract/Yina Z.

Her words are confusing.The guests began to leave, and Emily realized that from this moment on, there was no way to escape or abandon this. She sat down, feeling the cold air hitting her bare arms."I should go in," Noah said, and Emily rolled her eyes. "Or are you so regretful that you're looking for a way to escape?"Emily turned her body and looked at him; she stood up and raised one eyebrow. She extended the ring and placed it in his hands."I'm not going to leave. That ring is supposed to be a sign that I keep my word. Here I am, I don't plan to go unless things get to a point I don't like. If you act like a caveman or an arrogant fool, I assure you I will leave," she said. Noah began to laugh."Don't worry, I'm not attacking you or anything like that. Look, I understand this isn't easy, but we both agreed to all of this. I promise not to be an ogre or caveman, whatever you want to call me. I just ask that we make this pleasant and work together to avoid losing my son," he kindl

22. Did something change in him?

A foster mom. Marriage by contract/Yina Z.

Did something change in him?When Noah brushed his lips against Emily's, he immediately pulled away. The thought of her kissing his sister and now possibly him was something he didn't like.Emily was confused; perhaps she thought that was going to happen. But at that precise moment, she realized that she was just a tool for him. Noah himself said it; she was merely a means through which he would achieve absolutely everything. Emily took a deep breath; this was going to be harder than she thought, especially because there were feelings involved.Noah, on the other hand, tried to drink some liquor, but remembering what he could lose if alcohol took control of his life again, he decided to leave it there.The next day, Noah woke up early for the office, as he had a lot of work that had piled up due to the wedding. The people he encountered on his way congratulated him, but he showed little emotion in response. Noah sat down and began to review the pending tasks that his secretary brought

23. Are things different?

Are things different?Noah finished organizing everything so they could get to one of his properties. Getting there would be an appropriate place where they wouldn’t have to pretend to be married or anything like that; he could work and focus on his tasks while she could take care of Liam perfectly.Noah descends the stairs and then walks to his car, encountering Emily along the way.“The bags for Liam are ready; I also packed some clothes for myself,” she says in a cheerful tone that shows how happy Noah made her with the news about her university.“Perfect. You can tell one of the drivers to take them,” he replies, leaving her there as he continues walking.“But… aren’t you coming with us?” she asks. Noah stops and then looks at her.“No… when I said we would go on a honeymoon, it was to make her understand that we were going on a trip, not something romantic. I remind you that this is just a facade; however, it’s a facade that must be executed correctly. That’s why we’re taking thi

24. He is a cruel, unfeeling person.

A foster mom. Marriage by contract/Yina Z.

He is a cruel, unfeeling person.It's incredible how a person can throw someone so off balance; that's how Emily felt. Most of the time, she felt confused, and Noah's actions and words increasingly made her head want to explode.Could it be jealousy that he feels? Because there really wouldn't be any other explanation.Emily searched through her things and found that she didn't have anything appropriate to wear. She grabbed the first thing she found, and when she looked in the mirror, she realized it showed more than it should; those swimsuits she had never worn were making her blush today.Emilio left the house, noticing the comments of one of the employees who were there. It was clear that Noah was treated with respect and great admiration, while she was observed with suspicion.As she walked to the edge of the sea, Emily managed to avoid Noah's complete scrutiny. Although she felt exposed, she knew that her weapon against his indifference and arrogance was her beauty.“Emily, you t

25. Taking Things Lightly

Taking Things LightlyNight fell, and although Noah and Emily had ensured that Liam had one of the best afternoons of his life, they were not having such a good time. Noah knew he had made a mistake, but his ego was so inflated that he didn’t want to admit it.Emily leaves Liam in the room and then walks out, where Noah is in the living room working on his computer.“Do you need me tonight?” she asks, leaning against the doorframe.He continues to look at his phone and computer, giving her no attention, as he always prioritizes his work over others.“No, you can do whatever you want tonight,” he replied dismissively.“Perfect, then I’ll go explore the place,” she says coldly. He is arrogant, not even realizing that she had foolishly developed feelings for him, for something that doesn’t exist.“You should be careful; there aren’t many people around. This is private property, and you could get lost,” he mentions.“I’m not asking you to worry. I’m grown up enough to take care of myself,

26. Reasoning goes out the window when she's around.

A foster mom. Marriage by contract/Yina Z.

Reasoning goes out the window when she's around.Noah takes a few steps closer; however, something within him stops him, making him sit far from them. Noah orders a drink and sits without taking his eyes off them. Emily is ordering her second drink, feeling outraged and offended by Noah. "And what is a beautiful woman like you doing all alone?" says the man next to her. Emily merely presses her lips into a thin line and decides to ignore him. "I just want to drink. If you're going to make comments like that, I'd appreciate it if you left," she says firmly, which makes the man let out a laugh. Noah observes everything from his spot, struggling to sip his drink as he witnesses the scene. "Do you want to go somewhere today? That way I can help you forget your troubles," the man comments. Emily rolls her eyes and looks at him. "I'm tired of men like you thinking they can just say things like that, that you can take women to bed just because you're who you are. You're mistaken," Emily

27. Discovered?

A foster mom. Marriage by contract/Yina Z.

Discovered?Emily sat on the sand, the gentle wind tousling her hair as she could only think about what happened that night. She turned her face when Noah settled beside her with two bottles. “I think it’s better to drown our sorrows this way,” he commented, taking a sip of his drink.“You’re confusing me; you’re behaving in a way I can’t understand,” she said. Noah smiled.“Many times, I don’t even understand myself. I’m sorry; I know I haven’t been acting my best. I just don’t want things to be misinterpreted,” he excused himself.“Misinterpreted or for me to fall in love?” she questioned.Noah became serious. She shook her head; the headache had already intensified, and the amount of alcohol she had consumed was overwhelming her.“I don’t want you to fall in love because I assure you, I’m not going to,” he asserted.“I already know that; you’ve made it clear in several ways. You’re not my type either, yet here I am, and honestly, I think it’s been the worst mistake. You’ve ruined m

28. A Traitor?

A foster mom. Marriage by contract/Yina Z.

A Traitor?Isabel adjusts her clothes and positions herself behind the door; one of the guards might be watching. It's not in her best interest for the employees of this place to see her near Leo.At that moment, the door opens and Noah enters with his son, who, upon seeing Leo, makes an uncomfortable gesture.“What are you doing in my office, brother?” Noah asks.Leo straightens his tie and then stands up to greet his brother.“The real question is, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be on your honeymoon?” Leo asks, changing the subject.Noah puts down his briefcase and shakes his head.“We decided to come back as soon as possible to get on with our lives; we don't need to be elsewhere to live our love. But that's beside the point; after all, it's my private life. Leo, you still haven't answered the question I asked you: what are you doing in my office?” Noah repeats the question.“I just came to get the bidding documents. I thought you wanted help with that, not to mention I fou
