Chapter 1


    Chapter 1 He Was Si ck of Her


    The day I found out I was dying, James broke up with me.


    I have been James Evan’s “contract lover” for five years, until his


    true love came back.


    He canceled our contract and told me to get lost. I thought that


    after five years, his frozen heart would thaw for me. How wrong I


    was.


    So I packed my things and left.


    Without telling him… I only had three months left to live.


    James Evans’s private jetnded at LAX international airport


    at 7:00 PM. By 7:30 P.M, Amelia Garcia was taken to the Silver Tower Penthouse as requested.


    Per their contract, she had to be thoroughly cleaned “inside


    and out” without any traces of perfume or makeup. She strictly


    followed his preferences, thoroughly cleaned herself, changed


    into a silk pajama, and then went to the bedroom on the second


    floor.


    James was already working on hisputer. When Amelia


    entered the room, he gave her a casual nce.


    “Come here,” he demanded.


    His voice was cold and emotionless, weighing heavily on Amelia’s heart. James was enigmatic, Ameilia


    didn’t dare to hesitate for


    a moment, worried that he might get angry with her, and quickly walked over to him.


    Before she could steady herself, he pulled her into his arms and lifted her chin with his long fingers. He


    lowered his head and kissed her ruby lips, the kiss was aggressive, without any traces of warmth.


    James might seem noble and restrained, but he showed no such thing when it came to sx. He was


    never tender with her. No sweet talk, no soft kisses. Just sx. He had been abroad on a business trip for


    three months, he probably wouldn’t let Amelia go easily tonight. As she had expected, he was rougher


    than usual. James didn’t stop his thrusts until she was too exhausted. When Amelia woke up, she


    found herself alone in bed, but the sound of running water came from the bathroom. She looked in the


    direction of the water sound and saw a slender figure reflected on the frosted ss. Amelia was


    surprised because J ames usually left without waiting for her to wake up after their encounters. But this


    time, he didn’t leave.


    She struggled to sit up from the bed and quietly waited for the man toe out. A few minutester,


    the sound of running water stopped abruptly, and James came out wrapped in a bath towel. Water


    droplets from the tips of his hair fell onto his bronze skin, slowly sliding down his abs, the firm and


    strong lines carrying a deadly temptation. His face was finely chiseled, exquisitely handsome, with


    sharp, distinct features. His eyes, almond-shaped in hazel in color, were aloof and distant, deep and


    unreadable.


    James’ charm armed him from head to toe, and so did his cold aura. In one nce, you can tell this


    man was not easy to get along with. Seeing that Amelia was awake, he gave her a cold look and said,


    “You don’t need toe anymore.” Amelia was stunned. What did he mean by “No need toe


    anymore?”


    James withdrew his gaze from her, turned around, and handed


    her a document. “I’m canceling our contract, you’re fired.”


    He said fired. Not break up. Because that’s their rtionship, the


    employer and the employee. Nheless, his words stung.


    As soon as Amelia saw the documentid out before her, she


    understood. He didn’t leave early today because he didn’t want her to be his secret lover anymore.


    After being with him for five years, Amelia always knew this day


    woulde, but she didn’t expect it would end so abruptly-No


    reason or exnation.


    Suppressing the sharp pain in her heart, Amelia slowly raised her


    head and gazed at James, who was now fully dressed.


    “The contract will expire in six months. Can’t we wait for a little longer?” she asked, somewhat


    pleading. The doctor said she only had three months left and she wanted to stay with him until the end


    of her life.

    James didn’t respond, just looking at her with a cold gaze, showing no regret at all, as if he was kicking


    away a toy he had


    grown tired of ying with.


    His silence was all she needed, it meant, his decision was final.


    After five long years of trying, Amelia had failed to thaw Jame’s frozen heart. She knew it was time for


    her to wake up from her illusion.


    Amelia took the contract and put on a fake smile, attempting to feign indifference. “Don’t be so serious,


    I was just joking.” she teased.


    “I’m d this is over, I get six months off, how perfect!” Amelia added as if to convince herself.


    James paused as he adjusted his shirt sleeves, then lifted his cool gaze to size up Amelia.


    On her face, there was no sadness, only a hint of excitedness… or relief?


    James frowned and asked, “You’re d it’s over?”


    Amelia nodded like she didn’t care.


    “Yes, I’m not young anymore. It’s time for me to get married and


    have children. I can’t always be with your contract lover, can I?”


    What a perfect lie. Sheughed at herself in her mind, it was impossible for her to get married or have


    children, but in front of


    James, she had to leave with dignity and grace.


    She forced a smile and asked James, “Does that mean I can


    finally have a normal boyfriend once I leave here?”


    James’ eyes were filled with deep and unidentifiable emotions. After staring at her for a while, he put up


    his watch and turned to


    · leave.


    “Do whatever you want.”


    Those were thest words he said before he left.


    Looking at his back, Amelia’s smile faded.


    James hated it when other people touched his things, including his woman, but he didn’t react when he


    heard she wanted to have a boyfriend.


    Seems like…


    He really is s ick of her.
