“Curtis reported the bullying incident from four years ago to the police on Adriana’s behalf. Now the cops have taken Mia in.” Matthew pressed his fingers to his temples, stress pounding behind his eyes. 

His relatives were all breathing down his neck, demanding he sort it out immediately and get Mia released. 

But he didn’t want to make things harder for Adriana either. 

On one hand, there was Adriana; on the other, his own sister. 

Matthew felt trapped between two impossible choices. 

“If Adriana refuses to drop it and Curtis is involved, getting Mia out won’t be easy,” Darren muttered. “Tell you what–Curtis is flying back to Haldoria in a few days. I’ll plan a casual meetup, let everyone 

talk this out. No need to wreck friendships over a girl, right?” 

Matthew stayed quiet for a long moment before saying, “Darren, I think I’m losing my mind … I don’t want to marry Natasha anymore.” 

Outside the private suite, Natasha froze with her hand on the doorknob, her whole body rigid, breath catching in her throat. 

He had just said he didn’t want to marry her. 

Darren gawked at the man. “You? The guy who’s been hung up on Natasha for years? You’re giving up now? After waiting this long?” 

Just like that, his feelings were gone? 

Matthew massaged his forehead, his headache worsening. “I really think I’m losing it … 

“” 

He hadn’t been himself since learning Adriana was marrying Curtis. 

“Wait. You’re jealous because she married Curtis? You said yourself he’s just using her. They’ll split eventually…” 

Even Darren felt ridiculous saying it. “Come on, man. Don’t tell me you’re chasing married women now. Anyone who gets hitched, you fall for? What are you, collecting rings?” 

The group burst into laughter.

“Hey, married women have their charms,” someone quipped. 

“Shut it.” Matthew snapped, irritation flashing across his face. 

The laughter died instantly; no one dared to push further. 

Outside, Natasha quietly turned away.

She wasn’t giving up just because of that. She had to marry him soon, before Adriana could come between them again. 

She had seriously underestimated Adriana. 

Clarke Residence. 

When Adriana arrived home, the living room was overflowing with boxes and ribbons. 

“Mrs. Lincoln, all of these were handpicked by Mr. Lincoln,” Eva said with a grin. “He really dotes on you.” 

She blinked in confusion. Why was Curtis sending her things again? 

“If there’s anything you don’t want, I can return it. But if you like them, I’ll organize everything in your closet and jewelry cases.” 

Adriana stepped closer, stunned at the mountain of designer clothes and glittering accessories. 

Was Curtis shopping like he owned the mall? 

Her pulse quickened. She wasn’t sure if that made her shallow, but honestly, what woman didn’t like presents? 

“I love all of it … ” Adriana admitted, unable to hide her delight. 

Curtis really did have great taste. 

Still though, this was way over the top. 

All she wanted was to fulfill her end of their contract. She never expected him to shower her with gifts. 

“Mr. Lincoln … ” Adriana called softly.

“Did you see what I sent?” Curtis‘ calm, deep voice came through t 

“Don’t you think it’s a little too much? I really don’t need all this,” 

They were bound to part ways sooner or later anyway.

He was only keeping up appearances; until the baby arrived, until his grandfather passed. 

“You’re my wife, Adriana. When you step outside, you represent more than just yourself,” Curtis said coolly. 

That one line said it all. 

Right. She was his public image now. 

In their world, women existed as ornaments or proof of status and wealth. 

Adriana despised that notion, but she had no choice except to play along. “Alright.” 

“If you see something you like, buy it. The card I gave you has no limit,” Curtis added. 

She sank onto the couch, Matthew’s words from earlier echoing in her mind. Curtis‘ heart still belonged to Belinda’s mother, the woman he truly meant to marry. 

“Okay … ” Adriana murmured. 

Curtis paused, as if there was more he wanted to say, but instead he simply said, “Get some rest.” 

Then the line went dead. 

Adriana sat there, surrounded by luxury, yet feeling oddly hollow inside. 

Eva began unpacking and arranging the clothes. Beneath a pile of gift boxes, she found a bouquet of fresh flowers. 

Adriana stared in surprise. 

Did Curtis send these too? 

If he treated a contractual wife this tenderly, how much more would he give to the woman he actually loved? 

Jealousy pricked at her chest.

The doorbell rang. 

Eva went to open it. 

Adriana wondered who it could be at this hour. She thought maybe Belinda, but it was. Danielle. 

Conclusion

 

In the aftermath of the chaos surrounding Mia’s arrest and the tangled web of emotions that ensued, Matthew found himself at a crossroads, grappling with the weight of his own feelings. The realization that he no longer wanted to marry Natasha was a shocking revelation, one that turned his world upside down. Caught in the throes of jealousy and confusion over Adriana’s engagement to Curtis, he felt a sense of loss not only for the future he envisioned with Natasha but also for the friendship he had with Adriana. As laughter faded into silence, the gravity of his situation became painfully clear; he was trapped between the loyalty he felt for his sister and the uncharted territory of his feelings for Adriana. In that moment, he understood that sometimes, letting go was the only way to find clarity.

 

Meanwhile, Adriana sat amidst a mountain of extravagant gifts, a stark reminder of the life she was expected to lead as Curtis’s wife. The luxury that surrounded her felt like a gilded cage, leaving her feeling hollow and unfulfilled.

As she contemplated her situation, the arrival of Danielle at her door hinted at a potential shift, perhaps a new friendship that could help her navigate these turbulent waters. In this moment of introspection, Adriana realized that she needed to reclaim her sense of self beyond the confines of her contractual marriage. It was a call to action, a recognition that healing and self-discovery could only begin when she embraced her own worth, independent of the expectations placed upon her.
