Secret Billionaire’s Contract Bride: Marrying My Enemy’s Lover

Chapter 11

Adelaide POV

“SOS.”

The message was straightforward, but I was still suspicious. I didn’t want to see Ashton, but the SOS message… I felt like I couldn’t ignore it.

When we were kids. Damon came up with the SOS signal for when there was an emergency we couldn’t go to anyone else about. Even after everything, I couldn’t leave him alone.

All of us knew it-Damon, Ashton, Corinna, and I. We’d all used it, and we’d all responded to it. It was a rule that we would always answer it, no matter what. No questions asked and no refusing.

And that made it all the more suspicious. Why would he reach out to me after everything that’d happened?

I sighed, knowing I shouldn’t have lied to Damon, but I didn’t want him following me. I knew he wouldn’t want me to go see Ashton.

This was a bad idea. A really bad idea. I think he knew I wasn’t telling him the truth.

I stood in front of penthouse door number three.

I took a deep breath and knocked. There was no turning back now.

To my surprise, the door swung open immediately, but it wasn’t Ashton behind it.

It was Corinna. She leaned against the open door, her arms crossed, and a smirk on her face. Her hair was wet as if she’d just gotten out of a shower. She was wearing only an oversized T-shirt, leaving her legs bare.

I stiffened as I noticed exactly what T-shirt she was wearing. It was the one from my first date with Ashton at the amusement park, I had the matching one in my closet.

My blood boiled, but my head remained calm. Why was she here? Why would he let her lure me here like this?

“I knew you were still a lovesick puppy over Ashton,” Corinna taunted me. “Couldn’t resist rushing over here at the littlest text.”

“I assume you sent the message then?” I said, coldly. We both knew it had been her, but I wanted to hear it from her mouth.

Corinna grinned, “He left his phone behind this morning, and I just couldn’t resist the urge to toy with you.”

“Classy trick,” I said, sarcastically. “Now what do
