THREE-YEARS CONTRACT MARRIAGE WITH THE HOT BILLIONAIRE
"Sign the contract, or lose everything." I stared at the papers that would seal my fate-a three-year marriage to Julian Blackwood, the ruthless billionaire they call the Ice King. My family didn't ask. They demanded. My father's company was drowning, my stepsister's engagement had exploded, and I was the replacement bride they could sacrifice. Just another transaction. Julian made it clear on our wedding day: "Don't expect affection. Don't expect companionship. Certainly don't expect love." He refused to kiss me at the altar. He gave me a bedroom down the hall and told me to stay out of his way. I was Mrs. Blackwood in name only-a contract, a convenience, a means to an end. I accepted it. I had survived twelve years of abuse in my own home. I could survive three years of indifference in his. But then Nate, Julian's best friend, showed me kindness, and suddenly my cold husband became possessive. When my sister attacked me, he became protective. Now the man who promised me nothing is fighting his own father to keep me. The marriage that was supposed to be fake is becoming terrifyingly real and the secrets about my mother's death are threatening to destroy everything. They said Julian Blackwood destroys everything he touches. What they didn't tell me... is that sometimes destruction is exactly what you need to be reborn. With a pregnancy involved, how was I going to end this three-year marriage peacefully?Liam Hoffman walked to the front desk of Sunrise Decoration Corp. in Ninverton with a paper bag in his hand.
Inside the paper bag was a cup of coffee, and he was very careful not to spill it.
"This is the coffee ordered by Mr. Dennis Caldwell. Where should I deliver it?" He said to the receptionist.
The receptionist looked Liam up and down and said disgustedly, "Follow me."
Liam was actually an Uber driver. But today, he unexpectedly received a delivery order with generous pay. It was two hundred dollars, so he accepted the job.
He followed the receptionist until they reached the door of an office.
As soon as Liam put his hand on the doorknob, he suddenly heard a woman's groan from inside.
The voice sounded very familiar to him. It was much like his wife's.
He couldn't believe his ears. He must have heard it wrong.
Liam tried to convince himself he was wrong. But he still couldn't help getting closer, so he could hear it more clearly.
"Ahhh... Dennis, don't do that..."
"Come on, let me kiss you. Anyway, your good-for-nothing husband has never kissed you, right?"
When Liam heard the conversation inside the office, he was stunned.
When he came back to his senses, he knocked hard on the door and shouted, "Open the door! Open it now!"
The receptionist asked anxiously, "Hey, what is wrong with you?"
The door was suddenly opened with a loud bang.
Then a strange man appeared in front of Liam.
Liam's attention was immediately caught by the lipstick marks on the man's right cheek.
He threw the paper bag away, pushed the man away, and looked into the office.
Then he saw a woman with smooth skin and a curvaceous figure, wearing black silk stockings. Flustered, she was buttoning her shirt in a hurry.
"Yolanda!" Liam roared in rage.
It turned out that he was right. The flustered woman inside the office was really his wife.
He felt like a giant boulder was pressing his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Liam glared at Yolanda Lambert and said angrily, "Yolanda, we have been married for three years. And during these years, I have worked as an Uber driver by day and taken care of your family by night. I've been a good husband to you. But in the past three years, you have never allowed me to touch you. Despite that, I didn't think badly of you. I told myself you were only a reserved woman. But what is this? How dare you cheat on me with this man in his office! Why did you do this to me? What have I done wrong?"
"Honey... W-what are you doing here?" Yolanda said after finally buttoning up her shirt, covering her exposed cleavage.
