Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Wife

“Here, let me.”

Like a gentleman Lucas slid the door open as Nathalie crept out, and she paused to wait for him instead of the usual norm of Lucas following her behind.

With hand in hand they both walked inside the building.

“There’s a spot.”

Lucas was surprised when she joyously pointed at the seating area holding his hand and rushed like a child.

“Hold on, honey.”

He chuckled softly as they half walked, half ran towards the seat.

“It seems you are enjoying our honeymoon!”

He teased her but to his expectations Nathalie replied to him with a positive attitude.

“Yes, I’m happy to come here again. It’s the second time I’m here after that…..”

And she paused, making Lucas wonder what secret was confined to that restaurant. Sure ‘Moonlight restaurant’ had a special place in banquets and buffets.

It was known for exceptional taste and different flavours, apart from the special dishes cooked on demand, and had an impressive ranking in the chart.

“After that?”

Curiosity killed the cat! And Lucas insisted on asking.

“Ah! Nothing, let’s order.”

She shook her head upon his question and started to oogle the menu card.

And soon they placed the order, while Lucas studied her expressions.

“So, my little wifey adores lava cake, uh?”

He didn’t know she was a lover of sweets other than liking terribly bitter coffee.

Honestly she was so slender for him to take a guess.

“Yes, I really loved that. It makes me feel ME.”

She clapped gently, happiness was palpable on her face. Lucas knew how sensitive she was and how reserved she had recently become.

“You are opening up with me, great. It’s good for our relationship.”

He had been loving her that side, but upon hearing it Nathalie became quite shy as realized how she behaved earlier.

Lucas was about to say something when the waiter attended them.

“Here is your food sir.”

(Though English isn’t practiced in Switzerland, well not sure.)

He nodded towards him.

“Dug in. You were very hungry already.”

The man lovingly faced her and saw a heavenly smile, she was looking at the lava brownie like a kid with utmost desire.

He couldn’t help himself but to smile at her innocence that earlier she got excited to order it out.

They ate heartily and Lucas teased her from time to time, something was different now. She was neither angry at him nor using her bossy, stern tone. Instead she had been smiling at the word “WIFE”, each time Lucas teased her!

Maybe she had been accepting him, but yes not the not the original him.

As they were about to leave, someone’s shriek made it’s way to their ears. A feminine voice called out with hatred as she yelled!

“Diego!”

Lucas turned immediately with rage, well actually they both turned around and saw a lady yelling at a man by grabbing his collar.

“Diego black, how dare you cheat on me!”

Lucas became relieved that she wasn’t talking to the man, he wanted to grab by the neck. Otherwise his plan would have been blown before execution.

But wait…!

That lady ___he saw Nathalie shivering. She faced Lucas and a tear fell off on her cheek, the lady held his hand and immediately walked out towards the car.

“Are you okay?”

Lucas scooped her face and asked her worrying over her uneven breathing and shivering dry lips.

“Y- yeah…..”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Her voice was barely audible to him as Nathalie murmured continuously.

“Even his name… every person having the same name is…. is hurting, cheating. Ugh… Diego….. No -no be strong… no he isn’t here… his name….. n- no!”

Her eyes grew wide as those sentences fell into his ears like thunder, the lady had been going through trauma again, she was terrified like hell.

Lucas hugged her tightly as she cried holding his collar as her tears got absorbed into it. The man felt guilty since he was her pain and salvation at the same time.

To hunt down who was Nathalie’ husband Diego appeared into her life again. But was that the only reason?

They arrived at the hotel in the same posture.

“It’s okay. We have reached.” She was about to step out when tripped backwards on the doorsteps of ‘Luxuries’ hotel.

“Don’t rush, you will get hurt.”

Luckily Lucas catched her, and carried her in bridal style till they passed the entrance which was crowded with many bigshots, some resting and others making reservations.

They reached corridor heading towards our room. Everything was pleasant and upto their name ‘luxuries’.

All the way she hid her face into his chest and the driver opened the door.

“Thank you.”

As their luggage came Lucas thanked the driver and he went off.

Nathalie threw herself on the bed, her face turned black due to crying. Lucas pushed his tired body beside her and caressed her head.

“It’s okay Nat… it’s gone now, the past is left far behind. When you move forward then don’t look back on the sand of the past and don’t let it affect your future. I’m your present and I will be your future. Let me hold you.”

Lucas squeezed her hand gently making sure she heard him very clear and loud. She blinked her eyes as moisture filled the corners, as the lady rolled her body towards him and rested her face over his chest.

The man embraced her waist and gently moved his fingers on her back, Nathalie could sense security in his arms and the sensation of belonging to him.
