All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Contract Bride: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Vera’s POV:I blinked. I wasn’t exactly shocked by his words, I knew exactly why he wanted to be my driver. After all, I had been kidnapped twice in the past couple of weeks. At this point, I already knew that there was absolutely no way that Sylas was going to allow me move through the city alone without personally making sure that I was safe.Once upon a time, I might have argued and told him that I could take care of myself. But I could tell by the certainty in his eyes that I was not going to be able to dissuade him.So, instead of arguing, I simply flashed him a smile and got into the passenger seat beside him. The moment I settled in and put on my seatbelt, Sylas reached across the car and took my hand.Then, he smoothly started the engine of the car and began to drive the car out of the estate, while his other hand was still wrapped around mine.For a couple of minutes after he started driving, neither of us spoke. The silence wasn’t uncomfortable, neither of us just felt like

Sylas’ POVThe moment Vera and I stepped inside the building together, the atmosphere around the company halls changed completely. People, probably employees, began to stare openly at us. Assistants froze and dropped whatever files they were holding the moment they saw us.Even the receptionists looked shocked. It took me a couple of seconds more to realize that they weren’t shocked at the sight of Vera. No, they were shocked because of me.Some of the employees called out to me with wide, warm smiles on their faces, but I ignored all of them. I kept my attention on Vera. I stared blankly at her confident, elegant and strong strides.Even though I had not interjected outside the parking lot, I knew that she would have been able to put them back in their places. Those idiots thought they were going to be able to push her out of her own seat. They were wrong.The only reason why I had not done worse than fire them was because Vera was there. If she wasn’t, then their greatest problem wo

Sylas’ POVThe moment I spotted Naeris beginning to sneak away, I gave a nod to one of my more discreet guards. The nod was subtle, and barely noticeable to anyone who was watching us – which at that point was practically the entirety of the first floor – and followed Vera inside her office.I could tell by the way the guard's eyes widened that he understood exactly what I meant: Follow her, be discreet, and get her.The guard dipped his head slightly before also slipping away and moving down the hall. But unlike her, he was far more stealthy. And instead of taking the elevator like the nice, pampered employees of the hospital, the guard took the stairs.The moment I saw that, I nodded and immediately turned to face my mate, who was already issuing orders to a bunch of secretaries about getting all the executives in for an impromptu board meeting.I smiled as I watched her work. She didn’t just look calm, she was calm. Her gait was composed, and her posture was elegant. But even thoug

Naeris' POVPain was the very first thing Naeris felt when the heavy cloud in her brain dissipated and she woke up. Her eyes shot open and instead of closing them shut because of the intense flood of light that penetrated her iris.Naeris looked down and tried to push back a very loud groan. There was a very brutal and persistent throbbing pain at the pack of her skull.That must have been where I was hit? She realized.She let out another groan, and immediately regretted making any sort of movements. Because just that tiny movement wwas enough to make the pain flare up and increase the pain.Slowly, but eventually she was able to push through the pain and keep her eyes open enough that her blurry vision gradually began to clear up.When she could finally see enough to identify the room she was in, she froze.There were white lights all around her, grey walls and the only other things in the room other than two chairs – one of which she had beeen strapped in – was a large table that w

Sylas’ mouth crashed against mine, and my lips parted as his tongue slid in and began to claim every inch of me. I felt my body melt as I moaned into the kiss.My hands tightly gripped his shirt as he pressed me hard against the wall. The kiss deepens, turning slow and deliberate as his tongue began to stroke mine in long, lazy sweeps.He tasted me so thoroughly while his hands began to roam down my body. We only broke apart for a couple of seconds just to take deep breaths, and then, we went right back.His teeth grazed my lips, and our breathing began to become hot and ragged. Each kiss we take stretches out, and the more time we spent in each other’s hands, the more the heat in the lower part of my body began to build up.His fingers tangled in my hair, and he tilted my head at just the right angle so he could suck on my lower lip, before plunging right back into a deep lingering kiss.As we kissed, we lost awareness of our surroundings and began to walk around, stumbling forward w
