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

*Adelaide*

She was the very reason we were fighting and he had brought her to the house. I wanted to throw something, namely at him. He was acting like the last two weeks had not happened. She had been one of the sole reasons for our disagreements and now he had her in my house.

Angela cleared her throat drawing attention to her. I was mere seconds from punching her in the throat and from the way my husband moved cautiously toward me with his hands up, I think he knew.

“I think it’s best that from this moment on you and my husband sever whatever contact you have between the two of you.”

Angela looked to Damon for some assistance and to my shock and surprise he mouthed the words, ‘It’s okay. My mouth gaped at the two of them.

“Are you serious right now?” I pointed at my husband. “I am your wife Damon or does that mean nothing to you?”
