His contracted wife

chapter three

You wouldn't have died if you told me where you were but whatever."

"Freshen up and come down for dinner, "He said and stooped up to leave.

Would it kill him to be nice? Are all billionaires this way? I'd rather marry an average person then.

What am I saying? I already signed a contract with this Arrogant punk. She said.

As the aroma of freshly prepared food wafted through the air, Jasmine nervously sat on the chair alone while the maids served her.

Logan entered the room with his tall figure commanding attention. As the maid shared the food. There was little tension between them.

As the tension simmered between them, the atmosphere in the room grew icy. They cross each other at the lavish dining table, their eyes locking In a silent battle of wills.

She couldn't help but remember what he did to her. As she sat there, her annoyance grew.

Why is this house so quiet? He called me for dinner yet he can't say anything. Maybe I should just break this awkward silence. She said, murmuring, but he didn't hear her. "Uhhm… Logan, Did you make the call."I mentioned.

"Yes, I did. You can call your assistant to confirm if you want," he said clashing his fork and plate.

"There is no need. Seems like you did."

Just wanted to know, am I allowed to leave the premises?"I asked

"Of course you are. It's not like you're a prisoner. You have your freedom but don't leave without your bodyguard and my permission. "

"Why do I need a bodyguard? I don't think anyone is after me. "I started.

"You'll soon find out. There are evil people in this world," he mentioned.

"Question. May I ask why you need a wife… no sorry, a lady in your life for one year. Because I can't just figure it out. "I asked curiously.

"Hmm… you are one curious lady.

Before I can inherit my dad's property, I need to have lived with my wife for one year for them to be sure that I am married.

I didn't eventually plan to choose you. You just happened to be there and I was trying to prove I could get any woman I want." he explained.

"But you failed to prove it," I said. "Did I? I did get you," he said smiling.

"No, you did not. I'm only here because of certain circumstances that SOMEONE caused. "

He was the someone.

"I made you come here. So you're still mine," he stated

"I wouldn't have agreed If you didn't involve my business. You're not someone everyone wants and not my type."

"Not your type huh? I can easily make you fall for me if I want to." he bragged.

"You wish."

"Alright. "He said nodding his head.

"There's something I have always been curious about. Can I ask? "He nodded.

"Where's everyone that lives in this house? Do you live alone? Isn't it lonely living in this big house alone?"I blurted

He stared at her like she made a mistake by asking that. If looks could kill, I would have been dead by now.

"Learn to keep your nose out of other people's business. And remember, you're not my wife. This is just a contract. Don't cross the line. he pointed out.

"Okay fine. Jeez… all you had to say was you didn't want to tell me. It's not like I want to be your wife. Or want to be the wife of someone as arrogant as you.

He just ruined the moment," I commented and stood up to keep my plate.

"Let me get that, my lady."A maid said pointing to my plate. "You don't have to. I'll keep it myself."

"Just let her do her job," Logan mentioned.

"She's old enough to be my mom, I can't treat her like that when I can easily do it myself. Not everyone is like you."I started and kept the plate, then headed for my room.

Logan just stared as she walked towards the stairs into her room. Thinking about how he was just lectured.

"Did she just insult me? She should know her place in this house She'll have to pay. Logan said I followed her.

In Jasmine's room, she was getting ready to have her bath. She took off her clothes; all that was left was her underwear.

She prepared her pyjamas and towel. All that was left was to take off her underwear and enter the bathroom.

She was about to take them off, too, when someone barged in. Click

The room door opened.

"You need to…"Logan was talking. "What are you doing? Couldn't you knock?"She asked.

Her frightened cry echoed through the apartment.

She quickly grabbed the clothes she took off and quickly draped them over her upper body with her other hand. Her entire face was flushed red.

She frantically put on my clothes and screeched at Logan, saying, "Get out!"

He completely walked in like he didn't hear what she said, she had completely put on her clothes and turned my head to the side.

Logan took his time. He even took a second look at me, just like a scoundrel would. Inwardly, he thought she looked quite slender.

Her figure was not bad…

He thought.
