Secret Billionaire’s Contract Bride: Marrying My Enemy’s Lover

Chapter 56

Chapter 56

The soft jazz music filled my ears. My husband’s face was set alight by the romantic candlelight dinner we were currently

enjoying

I had finally made it to date night. With casting having wrapped two weeks ago and both our leads found I was taking it little easier before we had to start actually shooting

The last two weeks had been hell and I had not been the best wife to this incredible husband of mine, so when he came home from his trip from Vegas I told him we had plans.

We had a few date nights here and there in the last two weeks but they had all been done at home. But this time I wanted to plan something extra special for us.

He reached over the table and interlaced our fingers together. “You look beautiful my love”

“Thank you, baby” I smiled, tightening my gmp on his

I tried to put in that little extra effort because I wanted to look good for him. I kept the face makeup light but I opted for a blood-red lipstick. I even thought to wear a nice sexy black dress that hugged my body perfectly

It had been a while since I’d gotten all sexy for my man and I wanted him to feel special.

I booked us a private room in the famous La Visca restaurant near Calabasas

“How was Vegas?” I rubbed my thumb on the back of his hand

“Good. I met with Corina while I was there. Well, actually I met her at the airport when I was heading home. She was flying out for a shoot in Bali

My stomach dipped. My sister was also another person I hadn’t been giving attention to and she deserved it most after all she was going through with that idiot of a husband she had. Dealing with Ashton was its own personal hell

“How is she?”

Damon shrugged “As good as she can be I guess. But I can tell she’s sad. I see it in her eyes”

I winced. “I’ll call her after our date.”

“You should,” he tore his eyes from mine and looked down at my hand, well more specifically the ring on my finger. “When I put this ring on you it was all for show. I never once in a million years thought that I would have the pleasure of having you

as mine.

“I was always yours, Damon.” My voice came out low, I was too afraid to burst the small intimate moment we had created between each other. “Even when I didn’t know it fully in my heart. There was always a part of me that belonged to you.”

He lifted his eyes to meet mine. The brown in them rose dancing against the flame. “From that day when you found me 1 knew that you would become my sun, my moon my whole fucking galaxy.

His words were like sweet honey to my ears. Everything he was saying moved something in me. Even now when we were almost a year into our marriage he still affected me like it was the very first time. That was how I knew that this man would be

my one. He set something inside of me on fire

“You’re my universe, Damon” I tried to speak past the lump that had lodged itself in my throat. “And I am so sorry that 1-

My words were cut off by the buzzing coming from my phone. I looked down at the screen and saw that it was Steve from production

“I’m sorry babe but I need to take this.” I ripped my hand from his and grabbed my phone standing from my seat. “Hello?”

“Hey Adelaide, I’m sorry for calling in the evening like this.”

“Oh no it’s fine,” I said looking at my husband who was staring at me with a blank expression on his face.

“Are you free to talk? I have some news for you.”

I actually wasn’t free to talk but this was Steve-aka my boss-and if he needed me I had to be at his beck and call. That was how my brain was choosing to reason it

“Oh no. I’m not busy” I got up from my seat and made my way to the sliding door that led out to the balcony. The restaurant was set by the beach and as soon as I exited the room I was met with a rush of calm waves and the cool California

breeze

“So we got the approval on filming in the location in Vancouver so will you be set to leave tomorrow to view them?”

I watched him leave the dinner space and walk out the door leaving me standing on that balcony alone in the dead of night.

Things were looking so good for me professionally but my personal life was complete shit and I didn’t know who to blame but myself. I needed to do something fast if I wanted to save this marriage.
