Contract Marriage starring Love and Revenge

"I swear I will make them pay with everything I have. I will use my very own blood to sign the documents that will end them if I must!” To Champagne Gold, life was always like a fast-moving truck with no brakes and a drunk driver, one she couldn't avoid. At the age of five, she lost her parents in a helicopter crash. Life after that was one problem to another but she held on... until her grandfather passed away as well. With his death came the loss of her position of CEO and her hard-earned shares. As if that was not enough, she was served with divorce papers and the revelation of her husband's adultery with her cousin. Dealt with one too many blows, Champagne sought to end it all. Perhaps she could be reincarnated or whisked away to another world like the books she read before, but that was not to be. Instead, a mysterious man entered her life. "Rather than escape like a coward, I can give you the power and resources to carry out your revenge. I have but one condition―marry me.” Champagne held her lips between her teeth and took the offer. However, just when she believed her new life was going smoothly, she found out another painful secret. One more painful than any she had discovered before. She had undergone a uterus removal procedure and she didn't even know it. Now Champagne is more determined than ever to get revenge on everyone who wronged her. She would do and give everything to make them pay for taking away something so precious from her.

56. Invitation

As expected, walking out of the elevator and moving toward the exit, I spot Alicia sitting there with a magazine in her hand, at that very same time, she lifts her head from the magazine and our eyes meet.

And I must confess, deep down, I feel a pull at my heart. And I know what it is. It's that familiar fear I always get when Alicia sees me with something of mine. The fear that sheep will take it from me.

For a moment, that instinct to run and hide what belongs to me fills me. To think I was being so brave just a moment ago. Just one look at her is enough to make my bravery crumble.

But then I feel his hold on my hand change. Instead of just pressing our palms together, he interlocks our fingers. His hold is firm and reassuring.

I turn my gaze away from her, "Let's go." I say with a smile at Duke.
