Lust Contracts 18+ Hunting for Love with My Three Contract Husbands

133 Prying into My Past

“Oh, I don’t mind about that. It’s not like we’re actively trying to keep the fact that Sean is my son a secret or anything. We just don’t feel like it’s something that we should outwardly advertise about,” Simon said with a relaxed smile.

Well, if this piece of news does leak out, I am sure that the fans and the public will have more than a few things to say about it and their opinions could be very divided indeed.

“I completely understand...” I replied vaguely.

Just when I thought that meeting must have come to an end already, Simon spoke up again.

“I heard that you’re helping EROS out with his work right now. How is that going?” Simon asked with keen interest.

How do I describe this...?

“It’s going well. I’m not sure how useful I am to him, but I do try my best to support him,” I replied smoothly.

“What about your role as his contract girlfriend? What do you do for him exactly in that...respect...?” Simon said as his eyes narrowed suggestively at me.

As in...do we fuck?

.....

“The contract that we initially signed at first does not allow any sexual activities; however, the contract had just recently been revised,” I replied factually.

“In other words, you’re willing to sleep with him now...” Simon surmised, and it wasn’t a question.

“Yes,” I replied bluntly to his blunt question.

By contract we could but there is another clause that says that he can’t exactly force or **** me against my will.

“Interesting. I doubt EROS needs any training in that area, but he can learn in other areas...” Simon said with a nod of his head.

“Such as?” I asked before I could stop myself.

Simon’s eyes widened in surprise at my straightforward question before his lips curved into a teasing smile.

“Well, from what I’ve heard, you were hired to teach him about love, right? Somehow that’s supposed to help with his work in various fields. He can tap into romance and all that. I’ve heard the first love song and I can tell that it’ll be an instant hit,” Simon said with confidence.

“EROS is talented so even I’m not surprised by his success,” I replied.

“I wonder how much you influenced that song...” Simon said in wonder.

“I’m not sure about that but I doubt that I have a lot of influence on him and his work,” I replied humbly.

I didn’t want to take any credit that I didn’t deserve and, most importantly, I didn’t want to tell the CEO about what happened between EROS and me that led to the birth of that song.

“What happened to your ex-husband was very unfortunate...” Simon said sympathetically.

What happened was truly unfortunate, but our relationship was as good as dead anyways. However, I did wish that George and I would have parted on good terms and not like that. I didn’t need anyone’s sympathies, though.

“Thank you for your kind words,” I replied politely.

“I heard that your parents disowned you after that. Is that true?” Simon asked although I felt like he already knew the answer.

I see. This man probably looked into my past because I was close to EROS who is also his only son and the heir to this huge and flourishing empire. I hated what Simon did, but I could understand the need for him to do so.

“Yes. I haven’t told anyone this, but it is true. Because of the massive debt that George left behind, we decided that it would be better if my parents didn’t get involved in the mess...” I replied quit truthfully.

“You mean your adoptive parents, right?” Simon asked as his eyes narrowed at me.

I wanted to laugh at myself and my old habits. Since being adopted by them, I was ordered and frequently reminded never to disclose the fact that I was adopted, and I guess that habit sort of stuck. There was nothing for me hide now, though. My adoptive parents already cut all ties with me anyways.

“Yes, you’re right. They were my adoptive parents. We have decided to sever all ties between us since then,” I stated bluntly while I wondered why he was asking into this.

Simon nodded his head slowly as if he was thinking about how to progress with our conversation. I watched him as I tried to hide my nervousness. Honestly, I couldn’t predict where this conversation was going at all and that made me more than slightly uncomfortable.

“Do you remember anything about your birth parents? You were not too young when you were placed in the orphanage, right?” Simon asked and this time I could sense that he was truly curious.

Why does he care about that? Something told me that his interest was too much for someone who is just looking into the past of his son’s fake girlfriend. It wasn’t like I was going to marry EROS and bear his child, so I didn’t see the need for this in-depth investigation at all. Something else nagged at the back of my mind but I couldn’t quite seem to identify what exactly it was about what Simon had just said that bothered me.

“I do remember my parents. Of course, they both passed away a long time ago when I was young,” I replied concisely.

I hoped that he would just take the clue that I didn’t want to discuss the circumstances surrounding my parent’s death at all. Even after all these years, thinking about it and talking about it was still difficult for me. To the best of my ability, I tried my best not to recall the events of that disastrous day that changed my life forever.

“I see. I’m sorry if I’m being too straight forward but...would you mind telling me who your birth parents are?” Simon asked straightforwardly.

Why...does it matter?

“Is that necessary? I would have thought after all the investigations that you’ve done, you would have found that out already,” I said with a small laugh, although I didn’t find anything about this funny.

“It’s strange, you see. I admit that I paid a huge sum of money to look into your past, but it seems like I can’t find out the identity of your parents no matter how hard I’ve tried,” Simon said as his eyes narrowed suspiciously at me.
