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
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 73
Sarah's POVThe sound of the doorknob turning seemed unnaturally loud in the quiet study.For a heartbeat, I couldn't move. My pulse thundered in my ears as the door slowly swung open, and Adrian stepped inside. He was dressed exactly as he had been when he left that morning, except his suit jacket now rested over one arm, and a blue folder was tucked beneath the other. His eyes landed on me almost immediately.For a brief second, surprise flickered across his face before it disappeared behind the calm expression he wore so effortlessly. Neither of us spoke. The silence stretched between us, heavy and uncomfortable, while I desperately searched for something—anything—to say. I had imagined many different ways this day could end, but none of them involved being caught standing in the middle of his study with guilt written all over my face."Sarah?" he said at last, his voice gentle rather than accusing. "I wasn't expecting to find you here."I forced myself to breathe normally and trie
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 72
Sarah's POVThe thought refused to leave me.No matter how hard I tried to distract myself over the next two days, my mind always found its way back to the same questions. Adrian's explanation about the package had sounded reasonable. His apology seemed sincere. Even Eleanor had behaved as though she genuinely knew nothing about it.Yet every time I closed my eyes, I heard the security guard's words again."The boss made sure of that."Those six words echoed in my head with unsettling clarity.I hated what they were doing to me.I hated that I had begun questioning every smile, every explanation, every reassuring touch from the man I loved.But perhaps what frightened me most was the realization that I no longer trusted my own judgment.Had Adrian always been this careful, and I had simply never noticed?Or was something really changing around me?That morning, Adrian left earlier than usual. He kissed my forehead before leaving, reminding me—as always—not to go anywhere alone."I'll
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 71
Sarah's POVFor several seconds, neither Eleanor nor I said a word.The maid stood patiently near the doorway, waiting for one of us to respond, while my thoughts refused to settle. A package with no sender's name. Delivered to the house without notice. After the anonymous messages. After Anna's unexpected appearances. After everything that had happened over the last few days, there was no way I could convince myself it was an ordinary delivery."I'll go and see it," I finally said.Eleanor immediately stood. "I'll come with you."I looked at her for a brief moment before nodding. Somehow, I was grateful I wouldn't be walking there alone.The two of us made our way through the front garden toward the main gate. The afternoon sun hung high above us, but I barely noticed the warmth. Every step seemed heavier than the last.As soon as the guards noticed us approaching, they straightened respectfully."Good afternoon, ma'am.""Good afternoon," Eleanor replied.I looked beyond the gate ins
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 70
Sarah's POVThe front door clicked shut behind Adrian, and the sound lingered in the quiet house far longer than it should have. I remained standing where he had left me, my eyes fixed on the empty driveway long after his car had disappeared beyond the gates. Usually, watching him leave for work filled me with a strange sense of contentment. I would smile to myself, close the door, and begin planning how to spend my day until he returned. Today was different. My smile never came.Instead, I found myself replaying every word we had exchanged over breakfast, every glance he had shared with Eleanor, and every explanation he had given me the night before. None of them sounded entirely false, yet none of them erased the doubts quietly taking root in my heart.With a heavy sigh, I walked back into the house. The silence felt unfamiliar, almost uncomfortable. It was as though the walls themselves had begun holding secrets. I hated that thought the moment it crossed my mind. This was supposed
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 69
Sarah's POVSleep never came that night.No matter how many times I closed my eyes, the images on my phone replayed themselves over and over again. Anna smiling beside Adrian. Eleanor laughing with Anna as though they had known each other for years. The messages thanking Anna for helping secure contracts. Eleanor called her family.None of it made sense. Or perhaps… It made too much sense. I turned onto my side and stared at the sleeping figure beside me.Adrian looked peaceful.His breathing was slow and steady, his face relaxed in a way that made him seem almost innocent. If I hadn't seen those photographs myself, I would have believed nothing had ever happened.I wanted to wake him. I wanted to ask him every question that had been racing through my mind.Why didn't you tell me?Why did your mother lie?Why did both of you pretend Anna meant nothing when she had once meant so much?Instead, I remained silent. The silence between us suddenly felt heavier than any argument could have.

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

Sarah's POV He called my name softly from the doorway.“Sarah.”I looked up from where I was sitting on the bed, my phone loosely in my hand. Adrian stood there, one hand resting lightly against the doorframe.“Yes?” I answered.He stepped inside fully now, closing the door gently behind him.“I n
