THE CONTRACT WIFE: A ONE NIGHT STAND BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE

Lucas’ POV

I seethed with anger, feeling the flames of fury burning within me. How dare she run away again? She acted as if she didn’t know us, and it infuriated me to no end.

“Let me go, mister! Who are you? Do I know you?” she exclaimed, her voice filled with confusion and pain. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. The woman I loved so deeply seemed to have no recollection of me.

“Zara… please, I’ve been searching for you tirelessly. I miss you, our son, and our life together. Why didn’t you come with us? Did I do something wrong? Let’s talk about it. Don’t just disappear like this, my love,” I pleaded, feeling exhausted and on the verge of kneeling before her.

She shook her head, anger evident in her voice. “I said I don’t know you! Why do you know my name? Who are you? Let go of me, or I’ll scream for help!” Her words stung me, and I could see the fear in her eyes. That’s why I released my grip, and Zara ran away immediately.

Enrique, my son, was about to chase after her, but I stopped him. “Dad! Don’t stop me! I need to go after Mom! I need her!” my son cried, his desperation tugging at my heart.

“Don’t worry, son. This week won’t end without your mother coming back to us. Now that we’ve found her, she has nowhere else to hide,” I assured him, my determination evident. I would do whatever it took to have her by our side once more.

Swiftly, I hired someone to track Zara’s movements. By the afternoon, I received information that she was currently residing on the other side of the island. If our paths hadn’t crossed, I would have never known that the love of my life was just around the corner.

I couldn’t mistake her for anyone else. After enduring immense suffering and sleepless nights due to loneliness, my heart leaped when I saw Zara again.

I couldn’t fathom why she was acting as if she didn’t know us, me, or our son. It weighed heavily on my mind. Now, I had private investigators gathering information for me. I couldn’t rest anymore, not when it concerned my son and me.

“Dad, will Mom come back with us?” my son asked as we sat at the dining table.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

I nodded solemnly. “Yes, son. I told you we would reclaim all the moments she lost. Now, let me handle my part. Further investigation is necessary. We need to understand why your mom left or disappeared, my wife. I’m also curious why she seems unable to recognize us,” I pondered deeply.

“I noticed that too, Dad. She doesn’t recognize this,” my son said, holding up the necklace Zara had given him.

“Alright, son, after we eat, you rest. Let me do my job. If it takes a long time to bring your mom back, I will…” I trailed off, determined to give my all to reunite our family.

After we finished eating, my son rested, and I contacted the detective I had hired.

“Good evening, sir. I have gathered some information. Miss Zara lives in a house with a maid named Eugenie and a man named Nicholas Rutherford,” the detective informed me.

The news hit me like a blow. Suddenly, everything became clear. I had finally discovered who was behind all of this. And it had taken three years for me to find out! Anger surged through me, consuming my thoughts.

“Boss, are you still there?” the detective’s voice interrupted my thoughts.

“Yes, I’m still here,” I replied, attempting to calm myself down.

“I have more information. Miss Zara is suffering from severe amnesia. She doesn’t recognize herself or anyone from her past. The only person she remembers is Mr. Nick, whom she believes is her husband. Furthermore, Zara was in a coma for three years. She had an accident,” he revealed, and suddenly, everything fell into place.

I hit my head in frustration, feeling a sense of enlightenment wash over me. It was all so clear now. She hadn’t intended to leave us.

She is being manipulated by that cunning guy, and I refuse to accept that. Zara is the one I love, and no one else. So what if she ran away and had an accident resulting in amnesia? He made me believe he was the one I loved, and I won’t stand for it.

Darkness and rage consume me, and all I can think about is seeking revenge. I want to make sure Nick pays for what he’s done. I will make him suffer.

I have been searching for my husband relentlessly. We spent a long time looking for him, but that demon managed to hide him. I won’t let him get away with it. I will ensure he ends up behind bars. But before that, I will make him feel my fist in his face.

For a long time, I pondered the reason behind my husband’s disappearance. Then it dawned on me that this deranged person took him away.

I had already entered the house, making calls to my powerful allies. One had a formidable team, while the other owned an island nearby.

He imprisoned my wife on this island, so I will do the same to bring back my husband’s memory. I will remind him of our love and who we are in his life. I won’t give up on reminding Zara.

Now, I will execute my plan. I am desperate, even willing to prey on sacred days just to have my husband back. Zara, please remember us once again.

For two days, we prepared to kidnap my wife. Others may see it as wrong, but I don’t care about their judgments. All I want is to end this pain. I want my wife back.

I yearn to hold her tightly again. I crave her kiss to alleviate the loneliness that consumed me for three long years. I want her back, for she is the only reason I still exist and have the will to keep going. She is the reason I wake up with excitement each day. Finding her has given me a renewed purpose in life.

One night, with my crew, we entered the place where Zara lives. The old woman was about to scream, but we swiftly injected him with sleeping pills. Just be patient; I am reclaiming the love of my life.

“Who are you?” Zara shouted as she saw us. Her eyes widened in disbelief. “You?!”

We could have easily kidnapped my husband. There were no neighbors nearby, and the neighboring village was far away. Nick was too complacent. Now, I am taking back what he stole from me.

To ensure my wife’s silence, we put her to sleep. Zara still looked beautiful as she lay in my arms. We boarded a yacht headed to the island owned by Yuan, where we got married before he lost his memory.

While I haven’t exacted my revenge on that fool Nick, I will show him what payback truly means.

As Zara slept peacefully in my arms, I couldn’t resist kissing her lips. It was a brief touch, but it felt like it erased years of longing.

Even though I had forgotten how to love, she has brought my heart back to life. I swear that nothing will tear us apart.

I will be her endgame.
