Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 832

Leonardo said, "You don't have to bust your balls to keep me company, I can find someone else to drink with.”

Ryan retorted, "Cut the crap, send your address, I'll be there in no time."

Leonardo jokingly said, "You bonehead!"

......

After Leonardo left, Marcus strolled up to the massive floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the skyscraper across the street, which was a property of the Hartley Group, a combination of leisure, entertainment, and business.

Marcus pulled out his phone and saw many places in the building across where he could grab a drink. Cornelia only said she was going to have drinks with Hannah but didn't mention where.

She was a looker, what if she got wasted and ran into some creep?

Marcus' worries weren't groundless. At that moment, Cornelia was already quite sloshed, but she didn't stop. She was still knocking them back with Hannah.

Hannah was drinking steadily, silently, and Cornelia was there matching her drink for drink.

When Hannah was hammered, she slammed her glass on the table and suddenly burst into laughter, "Cornelia, you know what? Steven is a total nutjob!"

Cornelia, flushed and a little hazy, slurred, "Nutjob? What weird thing has he done to you?"

“Just then, I was breaking into the film industry, so his people found me and took me to see him. He offered me a contract on the spot. He said he could help me become the most popular star in the shortest time. The only catch was I had to marry him.

“I just wanted to be famous at the time. Out of vanity, I sold my soul. I knew clearly that I was just his replacement. I always obeyed him. I did whatever he told me to do. I never dared to defy him.

“I really shouldn't have, as a stand-in, fallen for him. I wanted him to like me, to love me. I wished our marriage was more than just a contract.

“So, one day a couple of years ago, I threw away the birth control pills he gave me. I wrapped my arms around his waist and told him I didn't want to take birth control anymore. I wanted to have his child.

“That day, he completely changed. His past tenderness towards me was gone. He said to me like a demon from hell that I would never deserve to bear his child. He told me not to forget that I was just a stand-in.
