A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 2.33- Meeting Her Family
Her throat worked overtime, swallowing hard, trying to get rid of the bitter taste. "I'm sorry for what you've been through. I feel sorry for your mother." "I want to save her, Amelia. I want to do it so badly, but I'm too young and her needs are hard to grasp. I don't know how— Dad should have understood her mote but—" he growled, his frustration palpable. Amy was full of sympathy, but also understanding."So you saved me instead," she whispered, guilt tightening her chest. Because she unknowingly brought him a situation he could never refuse. She came to him as a troubled woman, a woman who suffered in her marriage, a woman who was emotionally manipulated and abused to the point that she forgot who she was and definitely lost the way to her inner strength.But Victor wasn't ready for history to repeat itself, so he stepped in and saved the world of her. He is no longer a child, but an adult, fully capable of being a savior. It all made sense, and his behavior was no less honorable
A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 2.34- Her Paraiso
Something tightened inside of her, but she refused to let it disturb her. Over lunch, Amy described Paraiso to them, and whenever she missed any detail, Victor was there to fill in the blanks, answering questions about the history of the island house, so she listened to him with rapt attention. But then, whenever he could leave things to Amy, he would do so, defer to her, and let her charm her parents with beautiful stories of the sanctuary.When they sat down to enjoy their coffee, Amy was too full to eat anymore, and Victor brought it up. "I can find a way to allay your concerns, but, of course, this is a big decision that you should weigh carefully." He went on to outline his proposal for how much he would be willing to pay for a controlling stake in the company. The corporation is a dizzying figure, and how he juggles his responsibilities in three large multinational corporations."My father's company and my own run like well-oiled machines. When I take on Robles Manufacturing,
A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 2.35- Filled Lust
It was obvious that he liked her and respected her. He went out of his way to make her happy. But that doesn't mean he loves her, or that he will, for one simple reason: he doesn't want to. Victor is not one to feel what he does not welcome. She was appalled by the sarcasm about wearing a seat belt. It protects her from danger, but what about the danger that comes with loving Victor as strongly as she does?What choice does she have? Amy's pulse quickened a little, and doubts began to hit from the inside out. If she loves him so much and he doesn't feel the same, how on earth is she going to keep the marriage going? Why didn't she see this possibility as possible? She came into this marriage so absolutely sure she could control it. What a fool she is!There was tension in the air as he drove home and parked his car expertly, walking around her door before she opened it herself. After entering, he turned to face her again, his expression was hard to read. Both were silent for a few s
A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 2.36- Confession and Rejection
She nodded slowly. "That's the way it is here." She felt like she was drowning. "Aren't you serious? Again?" "You forgot?" "Rules?" If anything, his sarcastic response strengthened her resolve. "Nothing happened to change them." "Everything changed," he replied, briefly giving her hope. She felt it burning and tried to hold it down, but hope was a powerful force and now it was rolling through her."Have you?" "Of course." He ran his hands through his hair in frustration. "Look how much we've gotten to know each other, Amelia. When you came into my office and we negotiated that damn contract, you were my—." "A mistake," she interjected. There was a hint of bitterness in his tone. He ignores this. "Now you're my wife." The last word was so possessive and passionate that it made her body startle, but she stood still, holding her ground."What does that mean to you?" His anger was palpable. "We got married, we are a team now. A great team."Her heart was beating wildly with tensi
A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 2.37- Can't Love Me
His eyes met hers for a long moment, changing color as he thought about it. "I'm not going to let it happen." "What if it already happened?" But he was moving away from her. Not physically, but emotionally. She could see it in the tightening of his expression, the tension in his shoulders. This is a battle she cannot win. Childhood shapes you in ways, sometimes irreparably. As a young boy, Victor had seen too much and felt too much in his heart, so he closed it little by little, and there was nothing she could do about it. Not if he dares to try. "You were right from the beginning." He said calmly. "Having sex complicates things unnecessarily. If I knew sleeping together would make you believe you loved me, I wouldn't—She cursed under her breath, interrupting him. "I don't believe I feel it, I do feel it. It's fact, not fiction. As far as allowing us to sleep together, I don't think either of us can stop it from happening. Like I can't help loving you. Honestly, Victor, I wonder
A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 2.38- Painful Silence
Every moment is painful. He longs for Paraiso. Not just home and the beach and the breeze, but everything out there - so easy and free. He longed to make her laugh, to make her cry with joy, to hold her so close he could feel her breath through his chest wall. His heart aches for her. But he still keeps his distance because his own needs pale in comparison to hers. He won't hurt her anymore.It hurts his heart to know what he suffered all those years ago because of him. He was a jerk to her. Just thinking about it made him feel a deep, mortifying sense of shame. He's mad at himself, but he's mad at her. He punishes her because he wants her so badly. He pushes her away because he knows he betrayed Carlos and needs her to go and understand the end result of what he said, but he ruined her in the process and he will never forgive himself. It's amazing that she can do that. As the weekend wore on, he thought about their original agreement, and the fact that she had agreed to it Saturday-
A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 2.39- Back In Paraiso
"I told you, I'm fine," whispered Amy, and things were much better now than before, when Victor burst into the studio midway, and he sent the doctor to draw blood from her arm. "Doctor?" Victor turned his attention to the middle-aged woman with a reassuring tone. "What happened? H—how is she?""Ulcers," the doctor replied without lifting his eyes, pulling out the needle, and pressing the skin with a cotton ball to stop the bleeding. "Other than that, I won't know until I get these results." He held up three vials of blood and stuffed them into the pocket of his lab coat before making eye contact with Victor."But do you suspect something's wrong?" Victor asked, not looking in Amy's direction so she had time to stare at him before she accepted that and got drunk while he was upset his gaze made him promise to remember every detail. She hadn't had a good look at him in weeks, and it had been long since they'd touched. Her heart was beating strangely, and she let out a soft moan.Victo
A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 2.40- His Late Confession
Here she is now—the only option other than going inside the house is to insist that he fly her back to Cordova, which leaves her with a bag full of cement. "Okay," she agreed rebelliously. "I'm going in." But it's like going back in time. The last time they left, they both thought they'd be back soon, and the house had that feeling - as if they'd left soon and everything was just as it was.Her heart churned in her chest as she stepped into the depths of the living room, memories flooding her, her pulse racing wildly. "You're obviously happy here," he said softly, walking behind her. "And I like to see you happy." She closed her eyes because she heard what he didn't say. He didn't like seeing her hurt. He didn't like knowing he was going to hurt her. He fears becoming like his father, fears that their marriage will spiral into the same horrific merry-go-round of squabbles.She turned to face him, needing to reassure him. "I'm happy in Córdova, too," she lied. "You're avoiding me
