All Chapters of Contract Marriage: The Billionaire's First Love : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Regina let out a bitter laugh as her eyes gleaming with anger. “You would rather be destroyed than marry me? Am I really that repulsive to you?”Damien sighed deeply, his frustration mingling with guilt. "Regina, you were my first friend. I will always care for you. You have been there for me through everything, and I take our friendship seriously. But marriage... it’s a huge commitment. We were always just friends but our mothers misinterpreted things. We never cleared up those rumors because, frankly, neither of us had time to explore relationships. Then, they took it further and began talking about engagements and planning our futures without even asking us. We should have stopped it earlier. Let’s put an end to this now.”Regina stared at him, feeling utterly betrayed. Friends? That was all they ever were? How could he have been so blind to her feelings all this time, or worse, hosen to ignore them? He was ruthless. He just used her to stay away from relationships while waiting fo

Their kiss was full of anger as their emotions raw and untamed at the moment. His hands moved down from her neck to her shoulders while tugging at the fabric of her dress. Frustrated by the restriction of the fabric, he tore it and she was too lost in the moment to care. All she wanted at this moment was to feel him all over his skin. The distance of three days was too much on her soul and she needed to feel him to be closer to him, as close as possible. If possible she wanted to seep inside his skin and flow in his bloodstream. His lips trailed from her chin to her ears and down her neck, leaving a heated path as he nibbled at her skin.Anastasia’s hands scrambled for something to hold onto as she was desperate for support. She needed to hold something or the weight of his kisses would weaken Suddenly, she knocked over a night lamp and sent it crashing to the floor.The sound jolted them both out of their stupor and the sudden reality of the situation hit them like a cold wave. They

Adeline pulled her into a hug. “And if you do end up divorcing him, I swear I will raise you until the end of time.”Anastasia pouted, trying to lighten the mood. “What if I turn into that bitter divorcée who lives with a bunch of cats and is mean to everyone?”Adeline tightened the hug. “I would still love you to death, you crazy cat lady.”Adeline’s eyes widened in surprise. “By the way, what was Damien’s reaction in the morning? Did he say anything?”Anastasia shifted uncomfortably. “I left before he was awake.”Adeline looked at her with her mouth agape. “Are you a jerk?”Anastasia furrowed her brows, confused. “What do you mean?”“If a guy sleeps with you, and you wake up to find the room empty, what would you think?” Adeline pressed.A wave of realization washed over Anastasia. Oh my God, what have I done? She felt a pang of guilt. He wouldn’t mind, would he?“Anna, darling, he might be hurt. Not that I care but I don’t encourage this behavior. If a guy did this to you, I would c

“Anastasia, what are your plans for the future?” Madam Callahan asked. “You are participating in the Scarlet Hearts. I talked to Edward Wright recently and he was of all talks of you. You seemed to have impressed him.” Anastasia did not understand if Damien’s grandmother was praising her genuinely or had an ulterior motive. “I plan to work for the company I am still working in,” Anastasia answered. “Why should you work for someone else’s company? Your father has his own company. Should you not contribute to family?” Madam Callahan said. “That is my father’s company,” Anastasia said. “And I am a designer. What can I possibly do there? The field I am interested in is already managed by his step-daughter. I have no intentions of touching it.” “Why don’t you work for our company?” Madam Callahan asked. “Mom!” Carolyn whispered. Anastasia looked at Damien and answered, “I am happy where I am at the moment.” When the dinner ended, the conversation followed to the living room. A maid

Harold couldn’t bear to see her cry anymore. It was giving him a headache. Big tears streamed down her cheeks and her nose had turned red and ugly from all the weeping. She looked utterly pathetic."Enough!" Harold snapped, his patience reducing each second.She looked up at him as her sobs filled the silence between them.“Regina was in danger because of Damien,” Harold said sharply. “Her name is linked to him in the media. If they find out that you are married to him, it will create a huge scandal and our family’s reputation will be affected.”Anastasia waited for him to continue. “I will wage a war against Damien, Anastasia. He openly disrespected me by hurting Regina and marrying you without my permission. You know better than anyone that I have the power to ruin Damien Callahan!” She stared at him, feeling the weight of his words. She knew he wasn’t bluffing, his ego was as vast as the ocean, and he would destroy anyone who dared to cross him. Though she didn’t want to cause any
