THE DARK ROOM

Chapter 2

*CHAPTER 2*

I opened the gate with shaking hands.

Adrian Cole stood in the rain, soaked, beside his black Bentley. No umbrella. Just staring at me like I was still his.

"Amara," he whispered.

Five years ago, this man left me without a word. Five years ago, I cried for him until I had no tears left. Then I married his younger brother, Jason.

Now Jason had just divorced me, calling me a barren woman.

Adrian walked inside. He brought out a brown envelope.

"Open it."

Inside was a fertility report. My name: Healthy. 100% fertile.

Jason's name: Zero sperm count.

He lied. For three months, he made me believe I was damaged. He made me hate myself.

My knees gave way, but Adrian caught me.

"Shhhh," he held me tight. "He will pay."

"Why... why do you have this?" I cried in his chest.

"Because I never stopped watching over you. Even from London."

He pulled back, brought out a small black box. A diamond ring.

"Marry me, Amara. One year contract marriage. My grandfather wants an heir before he makes me CEO. Be my wife. I will give you revenge. I will give you back everything Jason stole."

He was on one knee.

My ex-husband's elder brother. My first love. Asking me to be his wife.

My heart was beating so fast I thought it would bust in tears
