GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 140: Blood Betrayal: The Last Sister
Grayson froze on his seat. The fishing rod shifted slightly against his knee. His face slowly lost color as he stared at Logan. Sophia? Same sister who always acted as though board meetings bored her to death. One who behaved as if shopping trips mattered more than company shares. The same girl who spent years convincing everyone she had no interest in power. The older man's throat tightened. "No... it can't be...Are you sure about this" The words escaped before he could stop them. Logan lowered his head. "You know we have full equipments for tracking at the basement. I wanted her to be wrong as well. I mixed up the photograph with someone else and asked again. I showed her different angles. I asked the same questions in different ways. Every single time she pointed at Sophia."The shock remained written across the older man's face. Then something worse slowly appeared. Understanding. His eyes returned to Logan and a terrible realization settled between them. "Does that mean..."
GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 139: Number
The elevator doors slid shut behind Jeffery and Logan. Neither man spoke as the elevator descended through the floors. They left the hospital through a private exit and entered the waiting car. Logan started the engine and pulled away from the building. Streetlights reflected across the windows while traffic moved steadily around them.Jeffery sat in the back seat with one arm resting against the door. His gaze remained fixed on the passing city lights for several minutes before he finally spoke."How far have you gotten with the number?"Logan glanced at the rearview mirror."The number from Clara's organization," Jeffery added."We're still working on it sir" Logan replied. "The registered information belongs to a dead man."Jeffery's eyes narrowed slightly. "A dead man?"Logan nodded while keeping his attention on the road."He died years ago. I'm heading to verify a few things after I drop you off at the mansion. Something about the records doesn't add up."Jeffery leaned back a
GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 138: New Look
Jeffery sat in the back of the car with Sophia leaning on his shoulder. He kept his head low for a moment then spoke in a tired voice that carried through the small space.“I have to stop by somewhere important.”Sophia lifted her head slowly and looked at him with concern written across her face. “But we were just returning from the funeral,” she said. Her fingers stayed on his arm like she did not want to let go just yet. The black dress she wore still carried the smell of the cathedral incense.“I understand your concern Soph,” Jeffery replied softly. “I won’t stay long.” He told Logan to pull over at the next junction. The car stopped smoothly beside the sidewalk. Sophia stepped out and stood there watching the car drive away until it disappeared around the bend. She pulled out her phone and called her friend Emma to come pick her up. A small smile touched her lips once the car was completely gone from sight. She crossed her arms and waited under the street light.Back inside
GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 137: The Grieving Husband
MALCOLM'S MANSIONMalcolm sat in his mansion with a glass of whiskey in his hand. The television played low in the background while the city lights blinked outside the large window. For two days now every station kept replaying the news about Clara Rothwell's death. He listened for a moment then reached for the remote and switched the TV off with a tired motion. Her death did not freak him. It only felt distant like something that happened to other people in other worlds. He took another slow sip and stared at the dark screen.Suddenly the door burst open. One of the guards rushed in breathing hard and greeted him quickly. "Sir, they are just announcing it now that Daniel is dead. He was found dead in his apartment. They say his body was almost rotten when they discovered it."Malcolm froze. The glass slipped from his fingers and landed on the floor with a loud clink. Daniel. His most trusted man. The one who drove better than anyone, spied without getting caught, gave him informa
GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 136: Rothwell Family
ADRIAN'S APARTMENTAdrian stepped into the quiet sitting room with a towel still wrapped around his head. Water drops fell slowly from the ends onto his shoulders but he did not bother fixing it. His eyes locked straight on Cole, the man who usually run things for him discreetly. Cole sat waiting with a thick folder on his knee like it held the final piece of a dangerous puzzle.He dropped into the chair across from Cole and pulled the towel down around his neck. The room felt charged with heavy silence. "Tell me what you found," Adrian said in a low voice that demanded every detail.Cole opened the folder carefully. He placed the first sheet on the table between them and spoke in a steady tone. "The test is clear sir. Jeffery Rothwell does not match George Rothwell. The man we know as Jeffery has no biological link to George at all. No shared pattern. Nothing."Adrian picked up the paper and scanned it line by line. His fingers tightened around the edges until the paper almost wrink
GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 135: We are almost there Baby
Jeffery stood in the doorway for a long moment. His cold eyes locked onto the nurse standing too close to Clara's bed. The file in her hands shook just a little as she turned to face him under the harsh hospital lights.He stepped inside slowly and closed the door behind him with a quiet click. The room felt smaller right away with his presence filling every corner and pressing down on the air. The machines kept beeping steadily but the atmosphere grew thick and heavy between the three of them like something bad was about to break."What are you doing near her?" Jeffery asked again in that deep cold voice. He moved closer to the bed with slow steps that made the nurse press her back against the side rail. She held the file tighter against her chest like it could somehow protect her from what might come next in this tense space."I came to check her charts and vital signs," the nurse said quickly. Her voice stayed steady on the outside but her fingers gripped the papers harder than
GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 43: Soft Denial
Jeffery slowly released her, his hands slipping away from her as the quiet between them settled again. He looked at her for a brief moment before telling her to go take her bath. Clara blinked, slightly surprised, but she didn’t question him and simply nodded before heading toward the bathroom.The
GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 31: As It Should Be
H1 entered Clara’s room with its usual soft hum. She was struggling to stand when it appeared in the doorway. Every step hurt, and even gripping the edge of the bed for support required effort. “Good morning,” H1 said gently. “Mr. Rothwell requested I check if you need anything.”Clara shook her h
GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 30: More Than What He Saw
Later that night, Jeffery stood alone in his study. The screen in front of him replayed the same footage again. A small phone hidden beneath her hair. His eyes stayed on it, his thoughts going beyond what the screen actually showed.He replayed it once more. Clara wasn't aware he knew, or at least
GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE Chapter 22: Just What She Needed
Clara dried herself carefully in the changing room in the swimming pool area. She removed her soaked dress and changed into something soft and comfortable. She let out a quiet sigh. The water had left her hair slightly damp, clinging to her shoulders, and she walked toward her room. H1 had already
