Chapter 4

As the girl walked away, she kept glancing back at Alfred, reluctant to leave. "I'll always support you and Vivian! You have to get married!"

Alfred watched them go, then casually dropped a scoop of ice cream onto my plate. "Babe, don't take it to heart. The CEO Falls in Love series on Vivian's socials is blowing up—it's great for the company. You have no idea how happy it makes her. If I shut it down, she'll be upset."

I barely looked at him. "I don't care. You don't need to explain."

Another sharp pain ripped through my stomach. I clutched my abdomen, my face paling.

On the drive home, his phone rang again.

"Mr. Johnston, can you pick me up from the pool? I'm wearing something way too revealing—it's impossible to get a cab. Please, please?"

Vivian's voice was sickly sweet, practically dripping through the speaker.

Alfred chuckled. "Alright, alright, I'm on my way."

After hanging up, he grabbed my hand and kissed it. "Babe, let's go pick up Vivian together. That way, you won't overthink things."

"Alfred, you can't go. My stomach hurts—I need a hospital. Now."

His expression darkened instantly.

"Hannah, can you stop being so dramatic? I wanted to take you with me so you wouldn't make a fuss, and now you're pulling this act?"

"I'm not acting! I need to go to the hospital—I'm serious, it hurts!"

"Oh, come on. At least make it convincing."

Suddenly, I felt a rush of warmth between my legs.

"I'm pregnant," I forced out, my voice shaking. "And I'm in pain. This could be a threatened miscarriage—we have to go to the hospital now."

Alfred didn't believe me. His face twisted in fury.

"Oh, so now you're pregnant? You lie to me about everything—and now you're using this? We've been married for four years. Have we ever used protection? And yet, you never got pregnant—not once! But the moment I go to pick up Vivian, suddenly you're carrying my child?"

His anger boiled over, and he slammed the brakes.

"Get out! Didn't you say you're bleeding? That your stomach hurts? Then go! Stop wasting my time—I need to pick up Vivian."

"Fine. I'll go."

I reached for the door handle, but he yanked me back.

"I've spoiled you too much. You're getting real bold, huh?"

"Let's get a divorce, Alfred."

He froze. "Divorce?"

I nodded. "Phoebe already drafted the papers."

His grip slackened. He just stared.

"Hannah Hill, are you serious? No one's gonna want a pretentious woman like you."

"I've thought it through. Goodbye."

I pulled the door open.

The second he realized I was actually leaving, he floored it.

The world blurred. Then pain—sharp, searing.

Bystanders screamed. Blood pooled beneath me, warm and endless.

Alfred didn't even look back.

The crimson spread, blooming like silent, twisted flowers.

Contract With A Monster: The Heiress's Revenge Novel Cover
8.6
It was my birthday, but instead of celebrating, I was bleeding on the floor of my own bedroom. My sister Serena had just smashed a champagne bottle over my legs, her eyes filled with a dark madness because our father allowed me to wear the family diamonds. To escape her, I bolted into a pitch-black guest suite, only to be grabbed by a man who felt like a wall of solid muscle. He was drugged, unstable, and pinned me against the wall, his teeth sinking into my neck in a primal claim that left a permanent mark. I managed to flee, but the nightmare was just beginning. My father didn't care about my injuries; he only cared that I had "insulted" the man in that room—Delos French, the most powerful CEO in New York. He threatened to stop paying for my mother’s critical care facility unless I went to Delos and begged for his forgiveness. My brother Julian was even worse, intentionally pouring scalding coffee over my bandaged wounds just to see me flinch. They forced me into a revealing gold dress, treating me like a high-priced commodity to be sold to the highest bidder to save their failing company. I didn't understand how the people who were supposed to love me could be more predatory than the monster in the dark. I had spent my life fixing their scandals, yet they were ready to throw me to the wolves the moment I became useful as a pawn. But when I stood before Delos French at his gala, he didn't see a trophy. He recognized my scent, my touch, and the fire in my eyes. He trapped me in his private lounge, kneeling to clean the blood from my injured feet. "Marry me," he whispered, his voice a low, terrifying growl. "And I will give you the power to burn your family to the ground." I looked into the eyes of the man who had hunted me and realized he was the only one offering me a weapon to destroy the people who had broken me. "Okay," I whispered.
