A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 3.5- Found Her
Sheldon walked wearily into the kitchen. He was over six feet tall, with shoulders like the handle of an ax and a huge chest, but the hard physical labor drained even his impressive resources. His long, thick black hair tangled limply and wetly over his rough features. "Is there any chance you ever bought a beer or soft drinks when you went shopping?"Mira barely looked up from the grimy cooker she was scrubbing and gave him a look of disbelief. "You're just kidding!" "You can't be mad at me." Sheldon treated her with a look of pained male incomprehension. "You should have called. If I get a warning that you're coming back, I'll bring Sheila to clean up—A gleam of contempt flashed in Mira's eyes. "Your sister has her own full-time job and a life. You should be ashamed of yourself, Sheld. When we moved here, you promised you would do your best. What should you do the moment I turn around?" she asked with bitter resentment. "You've turned the cottage into a filthy mess and my garden
A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 3.6- Crazy Will
Jacob stood in the doorway of the messy lounge with a poised expression, his chiseled silhouette full of derision. "You're living like a pig!" He turned around again, taking a breath in disgust. "Unwashed—your home is dirty. I would get goosebumps if I entered that room. You need pest control."Shocked, Mira fell into a rare silence, gasping at him as he avoided her and strode quickly back outside. "We'll stay here for some fresh air."Mira, her cheeks burning with rage and humiliation, chased him again. "How dare you?" "Keep quiet." Jacob looked at her coldly and menacingly. "Be quiet and listen carefully. Dim is one of nature's gentlemen but I'm not and I've figured out what your game is. I now understand why Dim wrote that new will. He drafted the document without legal advice, had it witnessed by a servant, and placed it on his desk the day he returned to Manila. He's worried he's going to have another heart attack and is very worried about your future—why?" Her breath caught in
A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 3.7- Conditions
The sliding window slid down reluctantly. "Dim not that at all in the dark tomb, and you already have another man in your bed!" Naked anger turned those bright black eyes into boiling gold. Mira's hand flew up and pressed down Jacob's hard cheekbones with such force that her fingers were numb. Stunned by the blow, Jacob looked down at her with obvious disbelief on his face. The thunderous silence chilled her to the bone."I've had enough of you insulting me," she whispered, chattering teeth, almost as stunned by her violent reaction as he was. "If you touch me, Sheldon will crush you!" "He didn't crush Dim—did he?" Even ashamed of using Sheldon as a threat to hide behind, Mira noticed Jacob's cloth has a strange rough quality. Deep, sullen drawls and indescribable changes in tension.The tall man looked down at her thoughtfully, his eyes as black as smoke, golden glitz eyes filled with astonishing concentration. She involuntarily met those fiery eyes, her heart beat faster, her t
A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 3.8- Deal Him
"Jacob is willing to compensate you for your time and trouble. I want to know how many things he plans to put on the table?" Sheldon thought with a slow smile, unaffected by Mira's astonished and reproachful expression. "Your problem is, Mira, you're an idealist. Jacob isn't, and neither am I. You'll insult your face by cutting off your nose." "Then why don't you deal with him when he comes back tomorrow?" snapped Mira, standing up angrily."Do you want me to do this? I'd like to stay and focus on negotiations. If he has the same temper as you—well, we don't want bloodshed, do we?" "What are we going to do with his body?" asked Sheldon cheerfully. "Dead men can't write big, thick checks." "I won't be here tomorrow," Mira told him flatly."Look, it's just a business proposition, that's all. You don't have to live with this guy or like him. If you don't do it for yourself," Sheldon looked into her cold face with shrewd eyes, and whispered, "Think about your brother's employees, what
A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 3.9- Proofs
Dim must have been shocked by the animosity between his sister and his brother. In drafting that poor will, her brother apparently wanted her to tell Jacob who she was. Unaware of their real relationship, Jacob assumes she is Dim's mistress. What role could he assign her? So why didn't she tell him the truth? Mira kept her mouth shut.In her mind, Jacob had been the enemy long before she met him, and Dim's death only added to her pain. She resents the fact that Jacob grew up safe in her brother's love and affection. Why not admit it? Losing her parents in the same year and being taken care of by the local authorities— God, is she really that unreasonable? Mira is frustrated by her growing awareness of her own injustice and immaturity.***Two people, a woman and a man, in dark suits, were waiting in the hotel lobby. They looked tense when Jacob appeared, then jumped forward, emphatically expressing relief. A series of whispered conversations. The young man strode ahead of them into
A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 3.10- No Escape
"Despite its age, the ring does not have much economic value. This stone has flaws."Mira flinched, nausea pressing like lead in her oversensitive stomach. "There must be some other way to work out the will." "Do you really think I would be here asking you to perform such a ceremony with me in secret, if ever?" This question made Mira blush.No, Jacob had no choice. His presence told her that. Nor could she see how deeply and painfully he felt the necessity of being compelled to seek her cooperation. "But Clara seems to like me," she said awkwardly. "She already thought we were engaged. "Do you think she would like you if she knew who you really were?" Jacob gasped sternly. "She'll be angry. As for the engagement—I'll tell her that it's an impulse I'll soon regret. She doesn't have to know about us getting married. I don't want you to see her again." Mira's eyes uneasily move away from him. She might not be Dim's mistress, but even as his sister, she couldn't be a more welcome pr
A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 3.11- In One Room
"This isn't a guessing game," Jacob growled under his breath. "We are about to perform a legal and binding ceremony." Just then, a clerk approached them and invited them into the room where the civil marriage ceremony will take place. Mira froze. "I don't like this at all," she whispered frantically. "I hope I didn't agree." impatient long brown fingers took hers, urging her to move on. "You're going to go through it all for Clara."Mira's face paled with cruel reminders of her brother's fragile widow. It was a cover-up, she reminded herself, an unpleasant but necessary tactic to allow Jacob to carry on Dimitri's legacy without challenging his wishes. She focused on a rather weary flower arrangement on a nearby table, and a few minutes later, from somewhere beyond her, she watched in helpless amazement as Jacob raised her icy hand and moved a slender gold ring that was worn on her ring finger.***"I believe you drove here by yourself," Jacob whispered on the sidewalk outside. "Giv
A Contract With A Billionaire Heir 3.12- Bad Mouth
Mira took her tongue off the roof of her mouth. She was shaking. "You have such a rich imagination!" Jacob opened his elegant brown hands in a gesture of blatant sarcasm. "But how can you try to deny what we both know? When you first met me, you felt the temperature rise between us. I felt it too. Raw sex attraction, there's nothing like that It's more complicated."Mira forced a smile, her throat hurt. "Your ego is unbelievable. ""Never challenge a man unless you're ready to fight back," Jacob said slowly. "But maybe that's what you want—?" The atmosphere was so tense, her heart was beating hard, and those black eyes were full of challenging inquiries on her. There was a brisk knock on the door, which startled her. Klaude came in. Mira's legs trembled violently and she retreated to the sofa.Goosebumps appeared on her skin, and she was very aware of the dull ache in her breasts and the painful tightness of her nipples. Just standing there, just looking at her like that, talking
