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

Chapter 99

As far as life went, I wanted to think that I was actually doing okay. Maui had been exactly what I needed I needed the break and the time to breathe. I had come back with a much clearer head and I knew that I needed to start taking care of myself first. For so long I had placed everyone ahead of me. But now, I wanted to put myself first

Ashton was still a nightmare and I hated that I was bringing this nonsense on my sister. I remember receiving the call that Ashton had basically broken into the house and attacked Adie. I had raced home and broke almost every single traffic law

Damon had taken her to the emergency room just to be checked over but she was line. Damon on the other hand almost beat his brother to death. Ashton had been in the hospital for two days before he was finally moved

I let out a shaky breath as I stared at my done-up face. My red lips quivered as I tried to swallow down the nerves. I hated that this was what life was for me. I just wanted this man out of my life but he just constantly tormented me like a demon.

I had a day and a half on set. This was a commercial for a new perfume by La Divine. A brand that I had dreamt of working with as a little girl but I couldn’t even fully enjoy it because of this entire mess. I had shown up and done the job but I hadn’t taken the time to soak it all in the way I should have. I was too consumed with my own mind.

“Are you okay?” Daniel said from behind me.

I caught his eyes in the mirror and my breath hitched in my throat. Every time I saw this man I was always so enamored by his beauty. But he never seemed to think of himself as this divine specimen that, in my opinion, deserved to be adored. He just saw himself as a normal guy who liked to take pictures.
