Contract Marriage: My Sweet Bossy Wife novel Chapter 1

It had been years since Jessica Armstrong had been expelled by the Armstrong family. Now she was asked to come back home from the outland, because she had to fulfill a wedding contract in place of her half-sister.

Lorenzo Fletcher was a notorious man in Ameriart. He was terminally ill and had a brutal personality. Jessica’s stepmother didn’t want her own daughter to marry such a terrible man, so she asked Jessica to come back to replace her daughter.

Jessica’s stepmother had planned everything. She must have regarded Jessica as a fool.

On this day, Jessica sat in the waiting hall with her eyes shut. Suddenly, the gate of the waiting hall was flung open, which attracted her attention.

Bang!

Clang!

"Ah! Help! …"

As a flurry of shots rang out and the door was kicked open, the passengers, who were waiting in the hall, screamed in fear and scattered in all directions.

"Boss, that bastard isn’t here! He got away again!" a man with an eye patch growled through clenched teeth.

"He’s doomed! Look what I’ve found here!" The "boss" leered at Jessica, who sat not far away from him, rubbing his hands together.

Jessica never expected that such a disaster would happen to her. Now she was trapped in his waiting hall, her life in danger.

"Well well, what a beauty! How can I pretend not to have seen her?" The man with the eye patch swallowed, attracted by Jessica’s beauty.

"Please let me go. I don’t know anything. I promise I haven’t seen anything," Jessica pleaded in a soft and sweet voice, putting on a terrified look, but meanwhile, she was sizing them up secretly.

The tough boss strode forward with his eyes fixed on Jessica’s face. She was wearing an exquisite nine-tailed fox half mask on her fair face, her eyes gleaming adorably.

"Don’t be afraid, girl. We aren’t bad guys. As long as you join us, we’ll guarantee you a good life." The boss ran his greedy eyes over Jessica’s body without scruple.

"Please… Please don’t scare me. I’m a timid girl, and I’ll obey all your arrangements. Please don’t hurt me." Blushing, Jessica covered her mouth with her hand, acting shy.

Usually, these gangsters played around with prostitutes, and it was the first time they had seen such an innocent and tender girl. They couldn’t hold themselves back anymore and came at her.

Just as a fat hand reached out to rip Jessica’s blouse off, the man felt a piercing pain in the center of his back. The moment he met Jessica’s eyes, he was intimidated by her sharp gaze. When he was about to strike a blow at her, he fell to the ground, unconscious.

Before the other men behind him could react, there came a few flashes of silver light. The next moment, those men slumped down, moaning.

Jessica brushed the dirt off her jacket in disgust and threw a glance at the tall figure who was walking elegantly into the waiting hall.

Grim-faced, the man entered the hall as if he was Satan coming out of Hell.
