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

Chapter 57

Usually, when I woke up I was being held in the arms of my husband. I would be wrapped up and warm in his embrace but here I was alone, without his warmth. That was the first sign that I knew that last night was not just going to be forgotten.

We had not said a word to each other the entire way home. And when we got to our room we didn’t even speak. I got ready for bed and he excused himself saying that he had work that he needed to attend to.

I wanted to follow after him and clean up the mess I had made but I knew that he wanted space right then. He was mad and when Damon was mad he needed to be left alone to breathe, I was the last person he wanted to be conversing with

When I woke up I had been planning to speak to him. I planned an apology and everything but he wasn’t there. I went downstairs and found him gone.

It was bad this time. I tried texting and calling but his phone was going unanswered. He was really mad and for the first time, I was worried about what this could do to our marriage.

I knew that we were solid and nothing would break us so easily but this was something else entirely. It had never gotten to the point where we were ignoring each other.

And now I was on a plane headed to Vancouver to view a site for the next 48 hours. I hadn’t even spoken to my husband before I left.

Me: Baby, I know you’re mad and I messed up. I’m so sorry and I promise when I get back I will make it up to you.

Me: I’m boarding the plane now. I’ll see you in three days. I love you.

Me: Baby, please talk to me. Let me know you’re okay at least. Have you eaten? Will you be at home? Did you go back to Vegas?

All those texts went unanswered.

I had given up hope when I felt my phone buzz in my pocket right before taking off and when I looked down I saw his name and a message under it. But all hopes of it being some kind of reconciliation message were thwarted when I just read two
