Falling for My Contractual Wife



Of course, when she posted that video, Louise had Brian blocked, making it visible only to close friends.

Her caption read, [Getting discharged today. Thanks for all your help, Mr. Brian], followed by several heart emojis.

Ava felt nauseated by this sickening sweet post. 'It's no wonder Louise hadn't been home lately. She's sick,' Ava thought.

The thought of Brian taking care of that annoying woman for so long made Ava want to expose Louise's true colors in front of him.

She called Louise, asking what had been going on lately.

Louise casually mentioned having a cold and fever, then added that she was currently at Brian's place. Playing along, Ava said, "I'll come over and see you. You're at Brian's right?"

"Yeah."

Louise didn't object. She knew Ava didn't really care about her. But dealing with a brainless creature like Ava was real easy.

After hanging up, Louise called Brian, asking him to come back early.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Ava took a taxi to the Francis family mansion. Seeing Louise in casual clothes, Ava was handed a pair of slippers by Louise.

"It's been a while, Ava. How have you been?"

"Brian's not here?"

"He's been taking care of me at the hospital for days. Lots of work piled up at the company, so he's at the office. Just treat this like your own place. Anything you want to eat, just tell the staff." Ava sneered. "You should've been an actress. Even in private, you're acting like my sister. You never get tired of it."

Louise played dumb. "What are you talking about, Ava?"

Ava shot her a jealous look and headed to the living room.

Looking around, Ava remembered when she used to live here. She always thought she'd come out on top after Louise left. But things had changed, and Ava was on a path she couldn't turn back from. Louise seemed cheery, making coffee for Ava and having her sit down.

Ava's heart sank. She glanced at Louise, sat beside her, picked up her coffee, and swirled it twice. "You're playing a great act in front of Brian. But if he ever finds out about your true colors." Louise smiled, speaking softly, "Are you threatening me, Ava? I haven't done anything wrong. And if you want to keep breathing, don't bring this up around me."

Ava gripped the coffee cup. "Louise, you can't just walk away from this cleanly!"

Then she added, "Even though I failed last time, you can't fall back on your promises to me! Or I'll spill it to Brian!"

Louise narrowed her eyes. "You've got some nerve asking for favors when you didn't even do your job right. Dream on!"

Since that incident, Louise hadn't mentioned giving Ava any shares. Ava assumed Louise would refuse, claiming her failure voided the deal, but Ava didn't expect Louise's firm rejection. "Louise! I'm not afraid to spill everything to Brian, even if he doesn't believe me! I've got nothing to lose!"
