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

Chapter 24

POV: *Damon*

It had all started with an SOS.

I had been surprised to see the text from Corinna but I had responded nonetheless. I stared up at the apartment building her parents paid for, the security guards out front pressing back against the wave of reporters.

I couldn’t help but think about our past relationship as I stood in front of the same apartment building now that I had two years earlier.

The morning sun was bright as I made my way into the building, my feet following the familiar path to Corinna’s apartment. My dress shoes clicked loudly on the tile floor as I walked purposefully forward.

Finally, I stood in front of her door and knocked. It opened up immediately, the smell of Corinna wafting out into the hall.

“Hey, baby,” Corinna purred, a smirk on her face. She was only wearing a pink, fluffy bathrobe as she opened up the door for me.

“Corinna,” I said, coolly, stepping past her and into the apartment.

As usual, her apartment was a mess. A cluster of broken objects lay all around the floor- smashed vases and phones and items I couldn’t even recognize. This was a new level of messy even for her.

Clearly, she’d had another tantrum before I’d come. She was famous for her tantrums.

I took a seat on the leather couch, crossing my arms impatiently. She took the seat beside me, too close for comfort as she sent me a sly look. The robe dipped over the corner of her shoulders and I narrowed my eyes at the blatant flirting.

“To what do I owe the pleasure, Damon?” She smirked at me through lidded eyes, flirtatiously.

I silently apologized to Adelaide before I smirked, turning to Corinna. I didn’t have a choice, I had to find out what she knew, and this was the best way to achieve that.

“Just thought I’d drop by for old time’s sake,” I said cooly, looking at her longingly.

“Old time’s sake?” Corinna scoffed, as she crossed one of her legs over the over. “You don’t honestly expect me to believe that?”

I shrugged, gazing around the room. Getting information out of Corinna was going to be difficult.

Luckily, I knew exactly how to play it.

“Adelaide would have.” I said with a small chuckle.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Corinna clenching her teeth, her flirty facade falling. The resentment in her eyes was not hard to miss. She’d never been able to hide her dislike for her half-sister, even when she tried.

Immediately, she went into action, shrugging off her robe and revealing the thin nightgown underneath-nearly lingerie but with just enough modesty to cover her assets.

She giggled-too high-pitched to be real.
