The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 63: Jealous?
SebastianThe question lingered in the air longer than I wanted it to, and I could already tell where this conversation was heading if I did not stop it.I cleared my throat before forcing a small smile onto my face.“Perhaps it would be better if we changed the topic. I don’t think questions like that are necessary right now.”I hoped that would be enough to move the conversation elsewhere.Sadly, it was not.She folded her arms across her chest before looking directly into my eyes.“Sebastian, it was only a simple question, I don't think we have the kind of relationship that allows vague answers whenever I ask you something important.”For a brief moment, I remained silent.Before I could even think of another response, she stepped much closer to me again.Then, without asking for permission, she gently reached out and stroked my arm affectionately.Her voice softened noticeably as she looked at me.“I missed you so much, Sebastian. I had already been planning to come and visit you
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 62: Did you miss me too?
SebastianAfter asking who Bella was to me, Claire clearly noticed that my answer had been intentionally vague.She narrowed her eyes at me before folding her arms across her chest.“Sebastian, that answer explains nothing, what kind of relationship do you have with Bella?”I released a deep sigh before shaking my head.“I do not think there is any reason for us to keep discussing that right now.”Without waiting for another question, I deliberately brushed the subject aside.It was not because I did not want to tell Claire the truth.Far from it.The real problem was that I knew exactly how she was whenever something caught her interest.If I told her that Bella was my wife, even if the marriage was only part of an agreement, Claire would become endlessly curious.She would constantly ask questions.She would pay close attention to every interaction between Bella and me.She would probably keep visiting just to observe us.That would force Bella and me to keep acting every single tim
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 61: Who was she?
BellaI had just opened my mouth to ask Sebastian another question about his childhood when a loud, excited female voice suddenly echoed across the peaceful garden.“Oh my God, baby, you’re actually here!”The unexpected voice caught both of our attention.Confused, I instinctively turned over my shoulder to see who had called out to him so enthusiastically.The moment I looked behind us, I saw an incredibly beautiful woman rushing toward us with hurried steps.She looked like she had walked straight off the cover of a fashion magazine.Everything about her screamed elegance.Her long hair flowed behind her as she ran, and even from a distance, she carried herself with the effortless confidence of a professional model.Before I could even process what was happening, Sebastian and I both rose to our feet.The woman closed the remaining distance between us within seconds then she threw both of her arms around Sebastian and hugged him tightly.She held onto him as though she had finally
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 60: Baby?
SebastianThree days later, the doctor informed me that I was well enough to be discharged from the hospital, although I was still wearing the bandage wrapped around my head.I already felt much stronger than I had a few days earlier.As I packed the last of my belongings, I realized something that I had been unconsciously avoiding for days.Somewhere along the way, the way I looked at Bella had started changing.The relationship that had once been built entirely on formal conversations, constant arguments, and mutual irritation no longer felt the same.The hatred that had always existed between us seemed to be fading away little by little.Without either of us realizing it, we had somehow begun treating each other with genuine care.Throughout my stay at the hospital, Bella had constantly made sure I was as comfortable as possible, even though hospitals were easily my least favorite places to be.She never complained.She never acted like taking care of me was a burden.She simply di
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 59: Heat
BellaAfter Damon was taken away by the police officers, I remained standing outside for several moments trying to calm the storm of emotions still raging inside my heart.Everything had happened so quickly that my mind struggled to keep pace with reality.Eventually, I returned home to freshen up before going back to the hospital to see Sebastian again.I quickly took a warm shower and changed into a fresh set of comfortable clothes, hoping they would somehow wash away the exhaustion that had settled into every part of my body.When I finished getting ready, I looked at my reflection in the mirror.Although I still looked tired, I looked much better than I had after spending the entire night sitting beside Sebastian’s hospital bed.Before leaving, I stopped by a fruit store and picked out several fresh fruits. I wanted to bring him something healthy while he continued recovering.With the neatly packed fruit basket in my hands, I drove back toward the hospital.However, the moment I
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 58: Unbearable Regret
Damon My phone refused to stop vibrating as Anna continued calling and sending one message after another, desperately trying to force her way back into my life.But she was honestly the least of my problems at that moment.Without even looking at the screen, I silenced another incoming call before carelessly tossing the phone onto the couch beside me.I had no interest in speaking with her anymore.Instead, I remained seated behind my desk while staring endlessly at the photographs of Bella displayed across my laptop screen, unable to pull my eyes away no matter how hard I tried.Every single picture reminded me of the woman I had loved too late, and every memory only deepened the unbearable regret constantly weighing down my heart.I rubbed a tired hand across my face before whispering, “If only I had treated you the way you always deserved, then none of this would have ever happened between us.”Unfortunately, wishing for the past to change had become completely meaningless.Bella

DamienA sharp pain shot through my entire body the moment I slowly opened my eyes.My vision remained blurry for several moments while an irritating beeping sound echoed repeatedly somewhere beside me.I blinked several times while attempting to understand where I was.The bright white ceiling imm

DamienThe evening had already been exhausting long before my phone suddenly began ringing.I barely glanced at the screen before answering the call. The number belonged to my bank manager.That alone immediately made me suspicious. Bank managers rarely called unless something serious had happened.

DamienThe gala had ended many hours ago, yet Bella’s words refused to leave my mind.No matter how hard I tried distracting myself with other things, her voice kept replaying inside my head over and over again.Her expression had remained calm and completely unaffected while she stood before me.S

Bella The morning after the press conference felt nothing like my usual mornings. The moment I opened my eyes, my cellphone began vibrating endlessly against my bedside table.I reached over and picked it up before staring at the screen in surprise.There were dozens of unread messages waiting fo
