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

Chapter 72

“Adelaide

Do you know what was worse than fighting with your significant other? Fighting with your significant other while they were in a different time zone.

I woke up on the worst side of the bed this morning and all I could think about was the fact that my husband thought that I was a cheater. The way he had reacted was what was getting to me. I didn’t want to believe that he thought those things about me.

He had tried to call me back six times and had sent text after text but I hadn’t responded to him. The last thing I read on my phone from him was a message that came in right as I pulled into the studio.

Damon: I’m an idiot. Please call me back.

Damon: I love you, Adelaide. You’re my universe.

I almost caved.

I had almost hit send on the message that I had been typing but then I remembered that not too long ago we were in the exact same position. The only difference was he had promised me never to do something like this again to me.

I get that he worried that Gabriel wanted me but it didn’t matter if he did or didn’t. I didn’t want Gabriel, emphasis on the I My eyes were only set on my husband. Why would I throw the once-in-a-lifetime love we have for some passing thing? I wanted him to trust what we had. The same way I had been trusting what he and I had when it came to Angela. Even though Angela had made it more than clear that she wanted my man and had practically said it to my face.

But this whole Gabriel thing was too much and hypocritical. I couldn’t just ignore him-he was my male lead. Angela was no one to him apart from a stranger that had crossed his path one odd Thursday night. If anyone should hold the majority of the anger it should be me.

“Adelaide.” Gabriel tapped my shoulder drawing me out of my internal rant.

I blinked and I realized that I was still standing by the little snack table. My gaze moved up to him, his outfit for the scene still on. “Sorry, what did you say?”

“Are you okay?” His features softened the slightest bit. “You seem
