Contract Marriage; Fated Love

Sleep disappeared from his eyes that moment. He was instantly conscious and started looking for the ring. Noah was amazed, what ring would make him wake up in seconds?

He searched with his eyes and found the ring. It was shiny and made of pure gold. He smiled, little wonder the boy didn’t want to part with it.

“It’s under there,” he said pointing at the place. Liam made a dive for it, took his prized possession and put it into his pocket. He waved at Noah, said good night and came down from the car. Noah waited until he was sure that he entered the house safely. Then he instructed his driver to move.

Jayden Mason, the CEO of Jace group sat in his office, feeling very fulfilled and happy. He had successfully waved off external forces and now, the company was strong and stable.

His wife, Tessy was furious at her failed goal. Her father was even more pissed than she was. He helped the Mason family with the sole aim of tactfully taking over the company. Now that he had failed, he was bitter.

He put a smiling face on the surface when the Mason family came to properly thank him for helping their company rise. He claimed to be happy for them and prayed that they soared to greater heights.

Seeing she had lost, and there was no way to either make him pay or put his immoral lifestyle in check, Tessy filed for a divorce. Jayden bluntly refused to grant that. He said she was his wife and had no reason to wake up one day and decide to leave.

He was a bit dull at work the following day. Pearl came in as usual for their regular ordeal. The sex wasn’t as hot as it used to be but it was still sweet and left her wanting more. She lay close to him and asked what the matter was.

“My wife wants a divorce.”

Pearl smiled in her heart. She would soon be his legal wife!

“Is that why you are bothered?”

“Yes, I can’t divorce her.”

“But you don’t love her.”

Jayden looked at her and said nothing.

“Why not let her go if that’s what she wants? After that, we can be free to do this anywhere.”

Jayden frowned.

“I told you that I wasn’t going to make any commitments with you.”

Pearl was hurt. She was just a play thing! It was true he said that but she expected he would change his mind with time if she treated him well in the bedroom.

Jayden stood up and helped her up. He made her face the wall and they began another of their rounds. Her moans echoed across the room just the way he loved it. He wanted to keep having sex with her. Of all the women he had come across in his dirty lifestyle, she was the only one who satisfied him the most and he kept coming for more. But irrespective of that, there was nothing like commitment. How dare she request that! He squeezed her already swollen nipples to teach her a lesson, making her yelp in pain. He took her to the bed and soothed the pain by placing his hot mouth over one of them and caressing the other.

Noah closed the book he was reading and yawned. He opened the door of his study to leave and an image flashed into his mind.

That ring! How did he miss that? It was made of pure gold, it was glittering and the design he had seen briefly was exactly his! There was only one of such rings in the world. He grabbed his car keys and left the house in a mad rush.

Emily, Gu Yanxi and Liam were in the kitchen baking cupcakes. There was a knock on the door. Since they rarely had visitors and weren’t expecting anyone, it was Noah most probably. Liam declared excitedly that it was Noah and he was going to get the door. His lovely Mister Noah would join in the cake party!

Some time passed and Liam hadn’t returned inside. Gu Yanxi went outside to find him but to her greatest dismay, he wasn’t outside and the door was ajar. What happened? She checked close by for him but he was nowhere and Noah’s car wasn’t in sight. She was panic-stricken and ran inside.

“Emily, I… I.. can’t find him!”

Emily’s mind went blank. Her son? Missing?

It was at this time that Noah arrived. On getting to the door, he noticed the commotion.

“What’s the matter?”

“Is Liam with you?”

“Liam? I only arrived!”

“Oh my God!” Emily screamed and fell down. Noah held her and asked what the problem was.

“There was a knock on the door and he came to answer it thinking it was you. That was just a few minutes ago and he’s nowhere to be found now.”

Noah was instantly alert. Liam wouldn’t wander off with strangers and won’t play carelessly.

“Have you checked the CCTV?”

They haven’t. Emily was so worried that she forgot something like that existed.

On getting there, they checked the footage and they only saw when a car pulled up, Liam opened the door and that was all.

Noah knew that it had been tampered with. Whoever came clearly had no good intentions. He gave his keys to Gu Yanxi and asked her to get his laptop from the car. This time, she was very cooperative. In no time, she returned with the laptop. Emily was already crying and refused to be consoled.

He input the required codes and the footage was retrieved. It took him a longer time that usual, he guessed the person who did this was a master in the game but he proved to be the smartest.

Liam opened the door and a masked man came into sight. He covered the boy’s mouth and whisked him away. He put him into the car and zoomed off. The car’s licence number was covered making it difficult to track the car.

Emily screamed and fainted. It was too much for her. Her only son was just kidnapped.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
