Semua Bab The CEO's Contract Bride: Marriage On Paper: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Natasha Bruce punched Henry so hard that the latter fell down and couldn’t stand up immediately. I had to run to hold Bruce before he would pounce on him further.Bruce had held in his anger even when I thought he wouldn’t. I didn’t know what Henry might have said that would have resulted in physical violence.“Hey, calm down!” I exclaimed in a bid to stop him.“Leave me alone to fix up that bastard,” Bruce told me firmly. However, I held him in place.Henry finally stood up, cupping his jaw. He had a simple cut on his lower lip too.“You must have practised hard, bro,” Henry muttered.“I will let it go but we should pass on what we have planned for today. If I have flashbacks while we eat, I might do something I’d regret.”Bruce stepped forward, laughing hard.“As if I’d enjoy a meal with you normally. You can eat alone, just tell me why you sold Stamford Fashion’s shares to Baldwin McAllen,” Bruce finally went straight to the point.That took longer than I originally thought it wou

Natasha Bruce had just come out of the bathroom. When we got back to the mansion, that was what he thought to do.He said the meeting with Henry had shifted something in him so he needed to pour some water on his head to cool off.I did not know how the mental stress would be relieved through showering but I didn’t ask any questions either.He came out, water dripping from his hair and he resembled an actor I once saw in a movie. Leonardo… something. I didn’t know the full name.Anyway, the translation was that he was hot as fuck. But I didn’t have enough time to bask in Bruce’s sexiness. There were urgent things to report.I told him about Kenzie and Fiona and none of it surprised him. To some extent, it felt as if he had expected it.“We have to go to Fiona,” Bruce told me firmly.He began to grab his clothes, ready to leave. In the middle of this, he asked,“Have you found out her address?”“Yes, I have it,” I replied. “However, is it safe to go?”Bruce turned to me and answered,

BruceMy grandmother’s voice was calm and tense so it pierced through me.“A grandchild…” she muttered and she let it sink into my heart before she continued to talk.“I know you have a great relationship with Natasha and I know how both of you are focused on your career right now but… can’t you do it for me?”“Grandma…” I muttered, lost for words.She held my hands tightly,“If you are going to have kids, it is better to do it now. The sooner, the better. Just have one or two kids together and both of you can focus on your career as much as you want.”I took a deep breath.“A child isn’t a decision I get to make alone,” I muttered.“I will talk to Natasha if that’s the problem,” she replied instantly.“Natasha listens to me, she is the best daughter-in-law I could ever ask for. If I explain things to her, she will understand why it’s best to have a baby now.Even biologically, it is safer for women to have kids when they’re young.”My grandmother was strongly appealing to me here but

Natasha I took a step back, shocked by the words Marie uttered. I didn’t know she was this dangerous but… maybe I should have known.From the moment she stole my savings with the help of her boyfriend, I should have known she was against me.I thought I had a friend, it was an enemy in disguise.“The fact that you’re my next of kin makes you think you’ll have this house when I… I die,” I muttered.Marie nodded confidently and began to say,“I don’t wish you would die but life is full of uncertainties. I have heard of people who got sick overnight, those who had accidents on their way back home, and even those who committed suicide for unknown reasons.People die everyday, Natasha. It is for that reason that we make our loved ones our next of kin. We wouldn’t want them to suffer in case anything bad happens to us.”I scoffed. “I have been a great fool, I am just realizing that…” I muttered."Don’t say that about yourself,” Marie made to touch me but I took another step back.“Your nex

Bruce It all started last night. I didn’t feel comfortable letting Natasha go out all alone at night so I had two of my men follow her to ensure her safety.It was meant to be discreet and for her protection only.However, I was shocked when they reported that Natasha went to her place first but didn’t stay there long before she went to a hotel.I didn’t need to make further research about it; if Natasha had spent the night at a hotel, she had lied to me.She would only need to lie if she was doing something secret, cheating on me for example.Hence the coldness that followed in the morning.I tried to convince myself that it didn’t matter if she spent the night with another man but I couldn’t control the anger and jealousy I felt.“Where did you sleep last night?” I asked, my face stern and cold.“Was it really with your friend as you told me or did you spend the night at a hotel with a random man?”Natasha swallowed hard, lost for words. I could sense nervousness on her face, that
