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

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?”
