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

Chapter 77

“Okay and cut! That’s a wrap for today, ladies and gentlemen. The next time I see you all we will be in Paris”

Everyone around me clapped with excitement. The film was progressing so well and we were even far ahead of schedule. The past two weeks had been grueling but they had been worth it. It was even sweeter now that my husband and I were finally back on track

“Oh la la, mon cherie.” Lucas came up beside me and draped his arm over my shoulder. “We shall be in Paris for a whole three weeks! The food, the culture, the men!”

I couldn’t help but laugh at his antics. Of course, those were the most important things to him. But for me, this was a chance for me and my husband to get some real downtime. We had been put through the wringer the last two months and we deserved to just fall in love all over again in the city of love.

“On that note.” I hugged my friend and detached myself from him. “I need to head home to see my man. Thank you very

much”

To be in love and happily married.”

“It’s a dream.” I batted my eyelashes.

And it was. Being married to Damon was everything and though we had our challenges I would never trade him in for the

world

In my peripheral vision, I could see Gabriel headed toward me and I decided to make a quick exit.

His words still lingered fresh in my mind. And though I didn’t ice him out completely I couldn’t have him lingering around me. Damon was still not comfortable with him and I wanted to respect my husband.

I had been in denial of it at first but after that lunch date with Gabriel, it was clear where he stood. And though he had made no advances my way it didn’t mean that he wasn’t going to if given the opportunity.

Those had been words that had come directly out of his own mouth. I needed to be careful here. And being careful meant keeping my distance. I was still yet to tell Damon about the conversation and there was a part of me that didn’t want to tell him. I didn’t think that it was exactly necessary. What good would it do for us now that we were finally in a good place? I had made it back to my trailer when I was caught by the wrist

“Adelaide.” I closed my eyes, cursing myself for not just heading straight to the car.

I turned around pulling my hand out of his grip. Thankfully he didn’t hold on to me tightly. I took a step away from him, creating much–needed distance.
