Contract Marriage with Devil Billionaire

Chapter 6: No More Contraceptive Pills

Kate knew that Mrs. Smith didn't like what she had said, but she didn't want to be quiet and sound submissive to the demands either.

"I know, but Kate, have you ever cared about your father? Without support from the Smith Group, how would the White Group survive? Not to mention that he is paralyzed from the waist down, he has no choice but to sit in a wheelchair all day long," Cassie chattered. Her voice was gentle, but there was an underlying tone of threatening.

Kate did not reply to her questions; she just sat quietly.

"Also, do you really want to lose to a dead person? Do you want to bear the blame for the rest of your life?" Mrs. Smith continued.

"But Mom, do I have any other choice? We only torture each other the more we live together," Kate said as she hung her head. With a begging tone in her voice and a pitiful look on her face, Kate concluded, "Mom, Joseph is a handsome and smart man, I am sure that he could find a better woman in the future. Plus, you know that he has always looked at me as if I was the killer who led to Anna's death. I am his enemy; he is discontented that he needs to face me every day."

Cassie knew that Kate was telling the truth, but she also knew that it would be difficult to find such a compliant daughter-in-law if her son was to remarry.

After dinner, while Joseph and his mother went upstairs to talk, Kate sat in the living room to relax after the long day she had. Samuel walked in and took a seat near Kate; he casually asked, "Can we talk?"

Kate ignored him, but Samuel began to speak anyway, "It has been two years since we met each other. Can I please have the opportunity to explain?" 

Explain what? Kate thought she was confused yet a bit curious also. She said, "We're going to be leaving soon, could you make you long speech short?"

Samuel grinned. He asked, "Are you happy to be Lady Kate?"

That was a hard question for Kate to answer; she had no idea what to say.

Continuing to bombard Kate with questions, Samuel asked, "I heard that Joseph initiated a charity project recently, called The Anna & Joseph Home, do you know anything about it? You should know that he doesn't love you and only married you so that he can destroy your life and get revenge for Anna."

"Stop," Kate didn't want to listen anymore. However, Samuel had Kate in front of him, and he wasn't going to stop while he had the chance to speak to her, "Kate, I still have feelings for you. Do you remember two years ago? It was not an accident; I planned and worked for you, especially. I love you. And now, my dear Kate, I am coming back to be at your side. I will be here from now on and protect you."

"ENOUGH!" Kate couldn't bear to hear any more of what Samuel was saying. She thought that he was going to say the event two years ago was just a misunderstanding, but instead, he confirmed it wasn't.

"You'd better ask my consent before you express your love to my wife next time," Joseph's cold voice snarled.

Joseph said that she was his wife, left Kate with a warm feeling in her heart. It may have only been a simple word to anyone else, but he had never called her his wife since they got married.  

Samuel didn't back down from Joseph, though, "If you love Kate, I will leave her alone without any reason. But as far as I know, your true love was Anna and still is. There should be no reason for me not to take Kate away from you."

Their grandpa had requested that Samuel return home, so he was much more confident with himself. Joseph was aware that their grandpa was supporting Samuel, but he wasn't going to give up either. He continued to explain to his cousin with a charming voice, "So what? Kate married me, and I share the same bed with her, not with you. Not ever!"

After speaking, he put his right arm around Kate's shoulder. She was even more confused by the intimate contact in public. She knew that Joseph had no loving feelings toward her, so she didn't understand why he was so kind. Kate assumed it was just to show off in front of Samuel.

Joseph then continued, "When you failed after your confession two years ago, you should know that Kate doesn't love you. You should know who she loved."

Kate tried to speak up after Joseph's comment. She wanted to deny that she had feelings for Joseph, then she might have the chance of getting a divorce. However, Joseph seemed to have sensed what she was thinking. He pinched her shoulder as if threatening her not to say anything.

Samuel sneered, "If you don't know how to cherish love, even the best love will vanish one day."

"It's none of your business," Joseph replied. He pulled Kate's hand, "Let's go home!"

"Kate, don't forget to call me. I didn't change my number," Samuel yelled, trying to distract Kate from Joseph.

When they reached their car, Joseph was still angry, he forced Kate into the car and slammed the door behind her.

"Joseph, don't you feel tired of playing these games all the time?" Kate couldn't hold back any longer. Every time they went to see Joseph's family, she had to cooperate and pretend to be a sweet, loving couple with him. It wasn't so bad in the beginning, but it made her feel sick to her stomach now.  

"Well, Samuel's back has some effect on you?" Joseph didn't reply but asked with a sarcastic tone.

Kate didn't want to say anything anymore because she knew it would only end up causing an argument. She turned to look out the window, watching the scenery outside.

It wasn't a long drive home, but it felt like an eternity for both of them. As soon as they walked inside, Joseph immediately said, "Let's go to the bedroom!"

Kate knew what he was referring to, she was ready for the punishment, but she figured she would try to buy herself some time, "If you want to talk about something, why don't we just talk about it here?"

"You know damn well what you will happen when we back!" He commented.

It was Joseph's home, Kate had no choice and anything she did try was useless. Plus, she needed Joseph's money to cure her grandma. She shrugged her shoulders and surrendered.

Joseph slammed the bedroom door behind them, causing Kate to become even more nervous. She looked at the man with demonic eyes walking toward her. She had to try and save herself, she quickly said, "Now that you have Anna's picture here, would you please let me …?"

Before she could say anything more, Joseph leaped toward her, grabbing her by the throat. With a fierce look on his face and anger in his voice, he said, "You are just trying to piss me off, thinking that way I won't touch you?"

Kate tried to resist, but the pressure from Joseph's hands was too much. She couldn't move as he whispered in her ear, "From now on, no more contraceptive pills."

"Why?"

"You're Lady Kate; and you're obliged to give birth to a baby for the Smiths."

"But I'm a FAKE lady!" Kate didn't want to give birth to Joseph's child, even if she did love him.

"Does it mean that you want to be the true lady?" Joseph sneered, "You don't deserve it."

"If I don't deserve it, why should I have a child for you?" Kate asked back.

"There are no reasons to argue. Grandpa wants to have a grandchild; you must be pregnant in the next six months," Joseph ignored Kate's unwillingness and tore open her dress. He was tired of listening to his family, urging them to have a child.  

Kate felt mistreated; nobody considered her needs. She wondered who they thought they were to treat her like a baby-making factory.

When thinking of this, she was outraged and said, "Joseph, do you have any conscious? I don't want to give birth to a child for you, even if I became pregnant, I'd have an abortion!"

I'll never let you get what you want!
