Marriage Contract: Love Game With CEO

Life had been wonderful ever since they gotten married. 'It's probably because I'm so tired of being alone that the moment someone treats me well, I tend to magnify it by a thousand times. That's why I feel differently towards William. I feel helpless but I'd better not start anything else, ' Mary thought. . .

William was sweating so much all over, his hair wet and dripping, it had wet the sheets.

Mary fetched a towel and began to wipe his head.

"William," Mary said softly as she continued to wipe his hair, "I'm worried about you. I'm afraid you'll fall sick, that is all. Please don't think too much. I might have scared you but don't worry. I'm just afraid I'll get lost in your charm and fall in love with you. It's not on you, so please don't worry about it."

"I know..." William muttered suddenly, causing Mary to jump, startled.

"You didn't fall asleep?" Mary said, trying to calm her furiously beating heart. .

William turned over and continued to sleep.

He was probably dreaming.

Mary shook her head before continuing to tidy up the room.

She then quietly closed the door and left.

It was dark in the bedroom. The man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

William rubbed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

On the second morning, Mary got busy in the kitchen.

William walked out of the bedroom, his stride lumbering, steps heavy. "What are you doing?" he asked Mary hoarsely.

"Ah, you're up!" Mary looked around, surprised and

k her head and went to go through the documents.

"Why are you hiding here?" Victor said, strolling over to her corner. .

"I'm reading some documents," said Mary, looking up at him. "You've already finished your work?".

"Of course," he said, smiling.

"That's awesome!" she said and gave him a thumbs up. .

"There's another piece to shoot in the night," Victor sighed, running a hand over his face. "Looks like I won't be getting any sleep tonight either.".

"It's difficult work. But keep going. You will soon become the best actor ever," Mary said encouragingly.

Victor smiled. "Do you want to accompany me, the future best actor?"

Mary was taken aback. She awkwardly scratched her head as she said, "I'm afraid I can't. I have something to do tomorrow and have to go to bed early tonight."

"What's the matter?" Victor said, sensing the seriousness in Mary's voice and expression. .

"There is a doctor who wants to see my mother," she said, shrugging.

"Is your mother sick?"

"Yes," Mary smiled helplessly. .

"Is it serious?" Victor asked, his voice soft. .

"Cancer," Mary said. She didn't even blink as she said this. .

"I'm sorry! I didn't know," Victor said, flustered.

"It's okay." Mary smiled. "I'm just relieved there's someone to diagnose and treat her. You don't have to feel awkward."

Victor was about to say something, when he stopped, an idea occurring to him abruptly. 'Is there any deal going on between Mary and William?'.
