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

Chapter 73

*Damon*

On the one day I needed to get back to LA, Vegas decided to rain. It was the fucking desert and it had decided to rain. What the fuck?

I called and texted my wife but she was giving me the cold shoulder. The only thing I got back from her were the three words I needed to hear to know that we would make it out of this mess alive.

‘I love you‘

I would be lying if I said that I hadn’t had my doubts about her feelings. toward me. What I had said to her was wrong and if it had been me I would have been so hurt by the accusations, I don’t know what I would have done. She was far more gracious and I was truly undeserving of a wife like her.

I parked my car in the driveway and saw that her car was missing. I didn’t know if that made me relieved or sad. I wanted to get my groveling done immediately but maybe I needed to better prepare myself some more.

I had been expecting to come home to a silent and empty home. But to my utter shock and surprise the first thing I heard the moment I stepped foot into the foyer was the unmistakable voice of my older brother.

“You bitch! How could you do this to me?!” his voice roared from the living room traveling all the way into this room.

There was only one person he would speak to like that and though I didn’t like her he didn’t get a pass on disrespecting her in my house. I left my bags at the front and marched my way to the living room.

I had been on edge for the last 48 hours and drilling my fist into my brother’s face felt like a great way to relieve the stress that was trapped in my shoulders.

“Leave Ashton.” I came to see Corinna on the other side of the room near the corner where a plant stood tall. Her face was stern and unwavering but from her body language alone I knew that she was a little uneasy.

“And what do we have here?” I kept my tone easy and light. I leaned against the door frame and looked at my brother. “What are you doing in my house, Ashton?”
