The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 79
Sarah's POVI spent most of the drive home staring out the window, watching the city disappear behind us one street at a time. The meeting at the law firm hadn't given me the answers I wanted. If anything, it had left me with even more questions. Every time I spoke, I couldn't shake the feeling that Mr. Benjamin had been choosing his words carefully. Maybe I was overthinking it. Maybe the stress of the past few weeks had made me suspicious of everything. I wanted to believe that. I truly did.Beside me, Adrian rested one arm on the center console while the other remained on the steering wheel. Every now and then, he glanced in my direction before returning his attention to the road."You've been awfully quiet," he said gently.I forced a smile. "I'm just tired.""You've had a lot on your mind.""I have."He nodded understandingly. "I was hoping today would give you some peace.""So was I."Neither of us spoke after that. Soft music filled the silence between us, and somehow, it wasn'
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 78
Sarah's POVThe conversation from the previous evening lingered in my mind long after Adrian and I had gone to bed. Although we had talked honestly, I couldn't shake the feeling that too many questions were still unanswered. I wasn't looking for another argument. I didn't want to accuse him of anything without proof. More than anything, I wanted clarity.If the call from the law firm had truly been a misunderstanding, then I wanted to hear it from the people who had called me. I wanted to look them in the eye and ask every question that had been keeping me awake.The next morning, I found Adrian in the dining room finishing his coffee while scrolling through emails on his tablet. He looked up the moment I entered, smiling warmly as though the tension between us had never existed."Good morning," he said."Morning."He stood and pulled out the chair beside him for me. "I had the chef prepare your favorite breakfast.""Thank you."For a few minutes, neither of us spoke. The silence wasn
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 77
Sarah's POVThe words stopped me so abruptly that for a moment I wondered if I had misheard them."I'm sorry, Mrs. Moretti," the head of security said respectfully, his hands clasped in front of him. "I can't allow you to leave the estate without Mr. Adrian's approval or an escort."I stared at him in disbelief. The large iron gates stood open only a few meters away, sunlight spilling across the driveway beyond them. My handbag rested on my shoulder, and I had fully expected to spend a quiet afternoon in town to clear my mind after everything that had happened over the past few days. Instead, I found myself standing motionless, struggling to process what I had just heard."I'm only going into town," I said carefully. "I won't be gone for long.""I understand, ma'am.""Then why can't I go?"The guard hesitated, clearly uncomfortable."Mr. Adrian instructed us to make sure you never travel alone. Those instructions apply to everyone on duty."I felt my chest tighten. "He gave those inst

Sarah's POVI remained on the sofa long after the call had ended, my phone still clutched tightly in my hand. The screen had gone dark minutes ago, yet I couldn't bring myself to put it down. My thoughts were spinning too fast. The words from the man at the law firm replayed over and over in my head, each repetition sounding louder than the last."The fingerprint verification was accepted without issue."I closed my eyes.No matter how many times I tried to convince myself there had been a mistake, my mind always drifted back to that afternoon. Adrian had smiled so reassuringly as he asked for my fingerprint. Eleanor had stood nearby, encouraging me to relax when the machine failed the first time. They had both looked relieved when the second attempt worked.At the time, I hadn't questioned it.Now, I wished I had.A knock on the door startled me from my thoughts. "Mrs. Sarah?" one of the maids called gently."Yes?""Would you like some tea?"I forced a smile she couldn't see. "Yes, t
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 75
Sarah's POVThe house was unusually quiet that afternoon.Eleanor had left for a charity luncheon earlier that morning, and Adrian was at the office. For the first time in days, I had the entire mansion to myself. I sat in the sunroom with the leather journal that had arrived in the mysterious package resting on my lap. I had opened it countless times since receiving it, yet I hadn't written a single word.Every time I uncapped the fountain pen, my thoughts drifted elsewhere.To Anna.To the photographs.To the anonymous messages.To the conversation I had overheard outside Adrian's study."We switched the package."Those words refused to leave me.I sighed and closed the journal, leaning back in my chair. Maybe I was allowing suspicion to consume me. Maybe there truly was an explanation for everything. Adrian had never stopped treating me with kindness. If anything, he had become even more attentive since Anna reappeared.So why couldn't my heart settle?Before I could answer my own
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 74
Sarah's POVBy the following evening, I had almost convinced myself that I was letting my imagination run too far.Almost.The doubts were still there, quietly lingering beneath every reassuring smile Adrian gave me, but they no longer screamed as loudly as they had the day before. Perhaps I was exhausted. Perhaps I simply wanted everything to go back to the way it had been before Anna appeared and turned my peaceful life upside down.I was arranging fresh flowers in the living room when I heard the front door open.A familiar voice echoed through the hallway. "Sarah?""I'm here," I replied, setting the vase down.A smile found my lips almost automatically as Adrian walked toward me. His tie was loosened, and despite the obvious exhaustion on his face, he still managed to look at me as though I were the best part of his day."There you are," he said warmly."You came home early.""I promised I would."He leaned down and kissed my forehead before holding up a medium-sized brown package

Sarah's POV The night before my forced wedding, sleep was impossible. I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling, my heart hammering so loudly. The clock on the wall ticked mercilessly toward midnight.I swallowed hard.No… I can't do this.With trembling hands, I sat up and quietly pulled out the sm

Sarah’s POV“I don’t want you going out alone.”The words came out calmly from Adrian's mouth.I blinked slowly, my fingers still resting on the edge of the dining table as I looked at Adrian. For a moment, I wasn’t sure if I heard him correctly.“You don’t… want me going out alone?” I repeated sof
