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

Chapter 29

Chapter 29

POV: *Adelaide*

“Ugh, my head.”

I groaned, dropping my head on my folded arms on top of the kitchen table. With my eyes closed, I could almost believe I was back in bed, sleeping away the banging drums pounding in my head.

“I told you to take it easy,” Damon smirked as he laid a cup of piping hot coffee in front of me.

“Thank god,” I breathed, gripping the coffee like it was a lifeline. Despite the scorching heat, I desperately needed the caffeine.

Before I could even take a sip, however, the front door slammed open-shaking the walls and rattling the pictures.

“Good morning!”

The high-pitched cry was like a chorus of screaming sirens to my hungover brain as Lacey burst into the kitchen with a massive grin.

“No,” I groaned, gripping my temples to try to keep my brain from exploding.

“Oops,” Lacey giggled.

“What are you even doing here?” I complained, softly, glaring at her. The ringing in my ears had yet to go away, and I was hurting badly.

“I called her,” Damon said, calmly. “She’s helping to plan the wedding, remember?”

“And I’ve got something special planned for today!” Lacey squealed, before turning to Damon with an expecting look.

He raised an eyebrow and she huffed, holding out her hand in a you-know-the-drill motion.

He smirked, pulling a gold credit card from his pocket and slapping it onto her palm.

“Oooh, shiny,” Lacey grinned, turning the card back and forth in her hand.

“What is that for?” I asked, bewildered at the flashy credit card. What had

these two been up to?

“Alright, let’s go!” Lacey ignored my question as she pulled out my kitchen chair and grabbed my hand to pull me to my feet.

“Go where?” I asked, confused. I tried to dig my heels in to stop her, but Lacey was stronger than she looked. Or maybe I was just weak from the hangover.
