Billionaire Contract Marriage For Heirs

It was like being struck by lightning in the middle of the day when Eve heard the news. The sky darkened.

"NO!!!" Eve screamed and fell to her knees, her mobile phone slipping out of her hand.

Eve cried her heart out. It startled the whole house. Including her sister Adeline. They looked at Eve with confused looks.

"Hey! What's wrong Eve? What happened?" asked Adeline, her sister.

Eve stammered. "Mum, Dad..."

"What's wrong with them? Didn't they just go to Paris? Have they arrived yet?" Adeline looked at him confused.

Eve shook her head and continued to cry while covering her face. Eve couldn't take it, Oh my God.

"Switch on the TV," Eve said softly.

Her sister Adeline looked at her with confusion. "TV? What does this have to do with TV? You are so weird!"

"I said, you switch on the TV! Don't ask too many questions!" Eve said starting to get annoyed. Eve began to lose control of herself.

"Ok! Ok! But don't get angry like that! I'm just asking. What exactly is wrong with you, Heh?" Adeline raised both hands.

Adeline slowly moved to the TV room and switched it on as requested.

"We hereby inform you that the plane with flight Boeing A1225678 with the destination Paris, France had an explosive accident before finally sinking in an ocean. And all passengers on board were pronounced dead! "

One by one they read out the names of the passengers.

"Mr Bryan Adams and Mrs Stephanie Adams.... That's all the information we can give you!"

"No! This is not true! Please someone tell me that this isn't true, right? Eve please tell me this is all a joke! Mum and Dad must be safe, right?" Adeline stared at Eve in disbelief.

"Calm down, Adeline. Everything will be okay. You still have me. I'll always take care of you," Eve coaxed her 11-year-old sister.

Eve moved to hug her and caress her back as she continued to cry. Finally, they cried together. They continued to sob in the middle of the TV room with the TV still on that had changed the broadcast. Even Eve did not know or care about it.

Eve cried so hard that they were exhausted. Until Eve felt the weight of her sister's body on her.

"Adeline!" Eve shouted.

Adeline fainted.

*****

Today their house was visited by many people who came to express their condolences, they have no family other than their uncle and aunt who have been present here following the funeral process.

They decided to hold the funeral when they felt there was no hope, not long after the announcement.

Their uncle was named Alexander, he was the only brother of Eve's father. Although they have different mothers. Or rather Eve's father's half-brother. They offered to help Eve.

After the funeral was over they didn't go straight home, they cried at their parents' graves, and when they had finished crying, they returned home. Meanwhile, Uncle and Aunty had gone home first.

A part of their hearts felt pulled out, as if they had no grip.

They were surprised when they arrived home, there were two large suitcases placed in front of their door.

They walked over to them, and sure enough. It was Eve and her sister's suitcases. "What is this?" Eve said to herself.
