Contract Go Wrong: The CEO’s Tempting Bride

‘Hehe’ What was she thinking? Besides, what would Adrian do here at this time of the day?

Even though the sun had started coming up, it was still morning. Her expression relaxed, and even the tremors she had felt subside as she turned back to walk back to the bench.

But she had not even taken two steps when a manly deep voice instantly stopped her.

“Where do you think you’re going!?”

Gina’s heart gave a lurch at the sound of the voice. She could feel her heart racing so fast it made her feel faint and breathless.

‘A… Adrian!?’

She froze. It was as if her legs were gummed to the ground, and couldn’t even turn back. She felt a chill that seemed to make its way to the very bottom of her spine.

“Are you going to keep standing there?”

The voice sounded irritated.

Gina shut her eyes, and clenched her fist tightly, to calm down her soaring nerves. No, it was a dream. There was no way it could be Adrian. But the voice.

She heard the car’s door finally open, and even then, she couldn’t move.

The footstep was gradually approaching and her heart thumped with each passing second.

Then the footsteps stopped.

Gina was on the verge of breaking down. Beads of sweat had started forming on her forehead. When she thought about what might happen next, the figure strode past her toward the bench and picked up her bag from where she had left it.

She watched the huge man in a black suit with furrowed brows. But it was Adrian’s voice she had heard. Who was this man? And why had he picked up her bag?

She was still pondering in a daze when the burly man in black turned to face her. He was also wearing a tinted glass that covered half his face, and Gina could not properly discern his features.

When he turned around, the man looked around the area in a rapid movement and stopped in front of her. Without saying anything, he gestured for her to get inside the car.

Gina broke out of her stupor and took a step back. She was sure that she had heard Adrian’s voice a while ago. But seeing this man with her bag, Gina felt she was in greater danger.

The man was stepping forward and she took another step back. Just when she was about to flee and shout for help, Gina had not realized that she was very close to the car.

A strong arm grabbed her waist and pulled her inside the car.

“Ahhhh” Gina yelped and struggled violently. But in the next second, she stilled, and a cold shiver ran down her spine as a familiar scent wafted through her nose.

The door was instantly shut from the outside by the burly man, and Adrian was holding tightly to her waist, leaving her no room for escape.

“Regina…”

His voice was like the claws of a demon, slowly tickling her skin. His hot breath was against her neck.

“I’m sure you had simple rules to follow. How about I lock you up, and make everything easier for both of us.”

Gina gulped and knew that she was totally done for. Her nightmare had become real. It was really Adrian.

Despite his calm voice, she could feel the suppressing atmosphere inside the car. But how did he find her?

And did he say that he would lock her up?All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Her eyes widened in horror and reluctantly, she turned her head. 

His thin lips were pressed tightly together, obviously trying to suppress his anger which was given away by his black obsidian eyes that were boring through her.

Gina prevented herself from gawking at the dangerous man and lowered her head.

“I… I was…” she fumbled with her dress, but couldn’t get to get the words out of her throat. “You weren’t home, and… I wanted to pack my things…” she trailed off again.

By then, the car had started moving. Adrian does not seem to be listening to her, as he spoke to the driver at the front.

“To the company” he instructed, then turned his attention to the girl.

“Regina Carlson,” he said, after releasing her waist. “So eager to taste my punishment, right?”

A glint flashed through his eyes and Gina could sense the amusement in his voice. Even though his face was not showing any emotion, the gravity in his voice revealed that whatever he wanted to do, she was never going to come out of it unscathed.

She quickly cowered back until her back hit the door. He drew the partition separating them and the driver’s side, and her eyes widened in shock.

Gina’s mind instantly snapped back to the contract and her attention turned to him.  “A… Adrian”

He was gradually closing in on her and she swallowed deeply.

Was Adrian going to fulfill his promise? ‘what to do? What to do?’

Gina racked her brain as she cowered fearfully. Now that she’d come so far, would she allow that to happen?

Adrian has her family’s business wrapped around his fingers and he could crush it as he pleases.

“Stop!!!” she screamed while putting both palms on his chest.

Her eyes were tightly shut and even she was surprised at her outburst.

On sensing no movement, she slowly opened her eyes and found the guy staring at her in astonishment.

Gina sat upright and cleared her throat. “I’m so sorry, Adrian, I was very excited after knowing about the wedding, and was eagerly anticipating the day, I forgot to take anything along. And when you traveled, I was so bored and lonely, that was why I decided to come down to the city to pack my things,” she babbled non-stop, and finally managed to catch her breath.

Maybe if she pacified the devil, he would forgive her, right? She had to gather every bit of her acting skills.

Adrian broke out of his shock and his eyes narrowed on the girl. “You were excited!?” he scrutinized her, his expression turning dark.
