THE CONTRACT WIFE: A ONE NIGHT STAND BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE

Zara’s POV

I don’t know if this is just me, okay? A woman’s intuition is really something else when it kicks in and I wasn’t wrong when I saw that shameless woman. The daughter of our local mayor, who’s clinging to my husband as if her life depended on it, and now she even dared to kiss my husband.

Girl, if only you knew how much that hurt in my chest. It felt like I was punched with anger and jealousy in my heart. I remained calm, just observing the situation.

“What the fuck, Wendy!” my husband exclaimed angrily, wiping his lips.

They haven’t noticed me watching them yet. Wendy, that’s the name of this shameless woman! Damn!

“Lucas, I’ve loved you since then! LUCAS, I’M WILLING TO BE YOUR SIDE CHICK! JUST SPARE ME SOME TIME. I’M WILLING TO ACT LIKE A FOOL.”

“I love my wife. And it never crossed my mind to trade her for someone like you! Maybe you have no self-respect, Wendy. Respect my marriage to my wife,” Lucas said.

But the thing is, this shameless woman was about to kiss my husband again when I approached.

“You wicked witch. I’ll tear your lips apart and feed them to the dogs! Just try me.”

Wendy was scared and left. Then, Lucas and I returned to the party. Later that night, I am genuinely amused by Lucas. He is so loyal in nature. I wouldn’t wait for my husband to feel down. I’m going to prank him a little. That’s my plan.

“Darling, you know it’s only you, right? You’re the only one I’ll love. You know that girl is just trying to lure me into that. But it’s only you. I won’t look at anyone else. Did I brush my teeth, dear? There’s no trace of that woman on me anymore…” he pleaded.

We’re in the bedroom. We have separate rooms for the kids, so I can freely act and put on a show. My heart is starting to soften a bit. I can’t really control my emotions when it’s about Lucas Blackwood. I can’t resist his charm. That puppy face look is to die for. It’s like I’m always the bad one in our relationship.

“Why don’t you just stay with Wendy? Weren’t you Peter Pan in her life? Maybe you two should go live in Neverland together. I won’t be angry. I’ll even pack your things for you,” I told him, pretending to be angry.

You know, he looked so lost in his own world at that moment. He looked defeated, shoulders slumped, and a hint of disbelief on his face.

He walked away from me. I’m on the bed, having just finished taking a shower, while he’s half-naked, his Adonis-like body on full display.

It seems like he’s picking up his phone and about to make a call. From being gentle and meek, like a sheep or a puppy just scolded, he suddenly changed and his brows furrowed as he called someone I don’t know.

“Hello, Fred. I want you to LISTEN to me very well. I want Mayor Allegro and his business to go down. I want his business to collapse as soon as possible and for him to lose his position.” When he said that, I became truly alarmed.

I approached him and snatched the phone from him. “Hello, don’t worry about your boss, okay? He’s just not in the mood. Okay, good night!” I ended the call and my husband looked at me with a furrowed brow.

“My god, Lucas. Can’t I play a prank on you?” I asked him. He still looks dead serious.

“I’m not making fun of you, Zara. I am so serious about you that I can’t take you lightly. I’m serious about you, Zara. I don’t want you to ever feel like my love and respect for you is any less. I love you so much that I’m afraid you might wake up one day and not love me anymore. I don’t want to give you any reason to leave me. Because I won’t be able to handle that again,” he said while embracing me. I hadn’t even realized he had wrapped his arms around me. I feel so safe. I feel so loved.

“I love you so much, Lucas. And you know that, from the very beginning… Why would I let go of someone I thought I could only admire from afar? The man I thought was out of reach before he started loving me? The man who never left my thoughts. Lucas, you are my reason for living. Forever.”

Our lips finally meet. Our bodies may be tired, but we draw strength from each other.

With fiery passion in his kisses, his intense desire, and his gentle touch, I’m transported to heaven.

And we ended up exchanging our love throughout the night. The warmth of our bodies and our fiery emotions igniting.

In the morning, I woke up late. I’m so sore down there. I don’t know why I can’t get used to Lucas’s size. He’s huge and very thick, and every time we’re intimate, it feels like the first time.

He can be gentle and very rough, depending on the intensity of our connection. He is my best experience.

As I thought about all of this, in the midst of the new morning, I felt a bit embarrassed for being so naughty again. Get a grip, Zara! Stop having such lewd thoughts so early in the morning.

I got dressed. Surely, while I was asleep, Lucas dressed me. He even cleaned me up, as I wasn’t sticky anymore, if you know what I mean.

Zara, control yourself! You’re not like this.

I was surprised when the door opened, and there was my husband with our two kids.

He was holding a tray with breakfast. Our breakfast in bed is always perfect. My husband is so sweet and genuinely kind. How can I not feel excited to wake up to a day like this?

“Breakfast in bed, my love. Sorry if I overdid it again. Let’s eat, and here’s a painkiller for you. I love you, and thank you for last night…” my husband said.

Our eldest asked curiously, “What were you doing last night?”

“It’s an adult thing, honey. Someday, you’ll learn about it too,” I told our child.

I’m not embarrassed to talk about those things. But my child is still so young. Maybe we should talk about it when he’s a bit older and becomes curious.

For some reason, religion might play a part in it. Talking about sex feels like going against God. People here can be so hypocritical.

We all know that sex is one of the basic needs of humans. It’s a physical need, and we need it in our lives.

A week later, we suddenly decided to go on a vacation to Lucas’s hometown. Yes, they also own a hacienda. I can’t even fathom how wealthy they are. Owning companies, land, and other valuable properties make them incredibly strong.

We were on our way when our kids mentioned they were hungry. So, I served them our ready-to-eat Bento. Before leaving, I prepared our meals.

“This is delicious, Mom! Your cooking is truly the best…” our youngest said, and I smiled. I took my handkerchief from my pocket and wiped a smudge off the corner of our child’s mouth.

“Our princess is buttering us up again. Go ahead and eat, sweetie. Keep eating, or you’ll end up with no substance,” I teased, unable to suppress my laughter.

“That’s true, Mom. Your chicken curry and sushi are the best,” our eldest said, eating heartily.

“Alright, go on and eat, my dear. Here’s some water, too, in case you choke.”

I glanced at my husband, who was looking at his iPad. He’s been busy with work lately. Their business is expanding.

“Darling, are you busy?” I asked my husband.

“Just a moment, dear. Sorry, I’m a bit stressed,” he said. He looked pitiful, and he seemed tired.

“Come on, honey. Don’t mind that. Take a break as well,” I said. He pecked me with a kiss and returned to his work.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Actually, I insisted that we postpone all of this. I’ve noticed he’s been busy with work for weeks. I don’t really know why. It’s difficult to ask.

Our trip went smoothly. But I could tell Lucas was unusually distant. Sometimes he’s just angry. We’ve been arguing during our vacation.

I just don’t understand him anymore! I want to understand him, but he’s becoming frustrating!
