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.
24. Custom-made glasses.
"The truth is, I used to wear glasses before." I confess. "But that was a long time ago. B_before I started dating Rowan. After I met him, he talked me into using contacts instead of glasses. He said I looked ugly in glasses."
"He said it like that? That you look ugly in glasses."
"Not exactly like that." I shrug with a forced smile, "He just explained to me that he was sometimes embarrassed to introduce me to his friends because they all usually taunted him for dating a girl with four eyes. And that I'd be better off without the glasses. 'You'll look more presentable' we're his exact words."
I hear him mumble some words and at first I can't decipher what he had said, but the seconds later, my brain registers his words, "scum-of-a-bitch." That's the first time I've heard him curse out loud. I haven't heard that expression before either.
