All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Contracted Wife: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

As Emily's recovery progressed, Lucas found himself spending more and more time by her side. He'd sit with her for hours, watching her sleep, holding her hand, and talking to her even when she wasn't awake.But despite the progress she was making, Emily couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. She had fragmented memories of the accident, but whenever she tried to piece them together, her mind drew a blank.Lucas noticed her unease and tried to reassure her. "You're safe now, Emily. I won't let anything happen to you." He held Emily’s arms, both of them sitting in comfortable silence each immersed in their own thoughts.Lucas's phone buzzed, breaking the silence. He answered, and Leo's voice came on, saying they'd caught the truck driver, but he was adamantly refusing to talk. Lucas's face darkened, and a hint of danger flashed in his eyes.He looked at Emily, his gaze and voice becoming unusually soft. "I'll be right back, Emily. Call me if you need anything." He leaned down

Leo arrived at the hospital within minutes of Lucas’s urgent call. His sharp eyes scanned the hallway as he approached Lucas, who stood outside the ICU, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. The billionaire’s usual composed demeanor was shattered; his face was pale, and his eyes betrayed a mix of fury and fear.“Boss,” Leo said quietly, his voice steady. “What happened?”Lucas turned, his jaw tight. “Emily was poisoned,” he said, his voice low but deadly. “Someone tampered with her IV drip. I need you to check the hospital’s security footage and find out who’s behind this.”Leo nodded, already pulling out his phone to make the necessary calls. “I’ll handle it,” he assured Lucas. “We’ll get to the bottom of this.”Minutes later, Leo was in the hospital’s security office, seated in front of a series of monitors. The head of security hovered nervously behind him, clearly intimidated by Leo’s intense focus. “This is the footage from the past few hours,” the man said, pointing to the

Lucas's eyes never left Emily's pale face as he waited for her to stir again. The hospital room was quiet, the only sound was the steady beeping of the machines monitoring Emily's vitals.As the hours ticked by, Lucas's anxiety grew. He couldn't shake the feeling that time was running out, that Emily's life was slipping away from him.Just as he was starting to lose hope, Emily's eyelids fluttered open. Lucas's heart leapt with joy as he leaned forward, taking her hand in his."Emily?" he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion. "Can you hear me?"Emily's gaze was unfocused, but she nodded slightly, her lips parting in a faint smile.Lucas's eyes welled up with tears as he squeezed her hand. "I'm here, Emily," he whispered. "I'm not going anywhere."As Emily's eyes drifted shut again, Lucas felt a sense of relief wash over him. She was going to be okay. She had to be.But as he sat back in his chair, his mind began to wander. Who had done this to Emily? And why?He knew that he ha

CHAPTER 47 The phone call he had received earlier echoed in his thoughts: “Lucas Cole, you’ll never win.”The voice had been distorted, impossible to trace, but the words clung to him like a shadow. He shook his head, forcing himself to focus. This wasn’t the time to let his mind spiral. Emily needed him, and he had a business to run. Yet, no matter how hard he tried, the call lingered. Was it connected to Lara? To Jane? To someone else entirely? He shook his head and exhaled sharply. He couldn’t let this phone call consume him. Emily needed him now, and so did his business. With Jane in custody and Leo hunting Lara down, there was no room for distractions. He slipped his phone into his pocket, forcing his mind back to the present. For the next few hours, Lucas busied himself with work. He made calls to ensure his companies were running smoothly despite his absence. But even while immersed in reports and meetings, his mind kept wandering back to Emily. Finally, the wait was

As the days passed, Emily settled into a comfortable routine at the mansion, somewhere she now comfortably called home. She spent her mornings resting and reading, while Lucas worked from home or attended to his business obligations. Janet Ma continued to spoil her with delicious meals, saying she was too thin and needed to eat more to look stronger.Grandma Margaret on the other hand visited regularly, sharing stories and laughter. Their relationship was growing stronger each day and Emily found herself getting attached to Lucas’s grandmother’s company that she worried what would happen if she and Lucas were no longer together.Despite the warmth and comfort of her surroundings, Emily couldn't shake off the feeling of uncertainty about her future. She knew that her contract with Lucas was temporary, it was already coming to an end and the thought of leaving him and his family was becoming increasingly difficult to bear.She would watch Lucas smile at her each day, his gaze soft, his
