All Chapters of The Trillionaire's Contractual Bride: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

CLAIREI could feel my heart screaming in disappointment as Asher pulled away. I captured his face in-between my hands and leaned forward to kiss him but he pulled away before I could. I felt the ache in the pit of my stomach and brows furrowed. Even if I was drunk, I could still feel the pain in my heart. I was tired and exhausted from being outside for so long and having a squabble with Annabelle and my stupid ex husband but for some reason, I couldn't seem to drag my attention away from the throbbing in-between my thighs. I wanted him. No. I needed him. “I'm not going to repeat this again. You're sober and you need rest. I'm not going to take advantage of this situation. You're drunk and your emotions are all over the place,” he said softly. I blinked in surprise. I didn't know what to reply that exactly. I was caught in-between convincing him or letting it go. I settled for the first. I leaned into him, wrapping my arms around his neck to steady myself. “I'm not drunk, I promi

CLAIRE Dinner at the dining table was awkward. Silence lingered between all of us at the table. The mint tea had dulled my headache earlier, so my appetite had returned. Not fully, but enough to put something in my stomach. Liah stared at me like she couldn't recognize me. I ignored her. I wasn't really in the mood to exchange comebacks, and if she made any attempt to get under my skin,. Then I was going to let her because I didn't know what else I could do. I closed my eyes and sighed for a short moment. I scanned my mind for whatever fun activity Asher and I could do. Our vacation was already coming to an end, and there were only two days left before we would return back home to our busy schedule. I didn't want to spend the rest of the days indulging in the drama that seemed to generate whenever Annabelle and Liah were present. I wasn't going to be indulging them. Not when there was so little time. “Do you feel better now?” Annabelle broke the silence between us. I was speechless

CLAIRE “There's nothing to talk to you about,” the tone of my voice came off as cold and dismissive and no regret accompanied after. All I wanted to do was to be rid of his presence so I could make my way over to Asher. I closed my eyes to put my emotions under composure. I watched something flash across his eyes at the tone of my dismissal and I felt nothing whatsoever. I didn't feel the fear that I would usually feel each time I looked at him. All I felt was discomfort and irritation rising to the surface of my skin. I held back any insult that might have been stuck on my tongue. This wasn't the time to get into any arguments. “I know. After last night, I realized-” he paused like he was rethinking his words. I watched as the hurt flashed through his eyes as he held my gaze and I felt surprised. The Regal that I knew didn't care about anyone but himself. He didn't bother to think about the impact that his decisions might have on his emotions. He didn't care about anything else.

CLAIREI stared a little bit longer at the reflection in my mirror. I settled for a black backless dress with thin straps considering that the weather was a little bit hotter than it used to be. I closed my eyes and sighed. For a reason that I couldn't entirely identify. Anxiety nicked at the walls of my stomach. My eyes closed and I sighed. I was exhausted. Ok maybe not exhausted but I was looking for an excuse to back out of this dinner. Why didn't I take Asher's offer on having dinners at Lance place? What point did I even have to prove? Maybe I needed to prove to Annabelle that she didn't affect me anymore. But In the deepest corner of my mind. I had a feeling that it wasn't Annabelle that I felt the need to prove this point to. Maybe it was Myself. Maybe I was the one with the problem. Feeling anxious, I looked away immediately because looking at my reflection in the mirror suddenly got too uncomfortable.“What are you thinking about?” Asher's voice interrupted my thoughts, maki

CLAIRE The whole atmosphere was shrouded in silence as Regal leveled Liah with a glare. Annabelle was quiet at his outburst. I couldn't even make sense of what was going on. “You have no idea what you're talking about. Don't you ever talk to her like that again,” Regal growled. For a moment, Liah was unable to construct her sentence. The shock on her face was already enough evidence that Regal had taken everyone by surprise including me. I couldn't even find it in me to speak. “What the hell do you think you're doing?” She snapped as she raised an eyebrow at him.“I'm setting you straight because you have absolutely no idea what the fuck you're talking about,” Regal said coldly. I felt an intense mix of emotions pummel through me. Confusion being mainly the most one. “I didn't say anything insane. I know all of us are thinking the same thing. I'm the only one who has enough guts to say it out loud. She doesn't belong here. Without Asher, she would be nothing and I think she know
