Secret Billionaire’s Contract Bride: Marrying My Enemy’s Lover

Chapter 6

POV: *Adelaide

“What are you two doing on my set?” I snapped at the two full-grown men acting like squabbling children. “You’re causing a ruckus and scaring my team!”

“I need to talk to you.” Ashton demanded before Damon could even open his mouth. He shot a glare at Damon. “Alone.”

“Oh?” I said calmly. “I’m afraid I have nothing to discuss with you.”

“Adelaide!” Ashton’s face turned red as he clenched his fists in fury.

Damon grinned, looking like he was enjoying the scene.

“You know what I want to talk to you about,” Ashton said through gritted teeth. “You and that man-” “And why should my engagement concern you?” I asked him, pointedly. “You’re simply my childhood friend, nothing more. Isn’t that right, Ashton?”

Damon smirked. “I have my ways.”

“This isn’t a show and tell,” I snapped, “Don’t you have your own job, or is the great Damon Steyn too busy for regular work?”

Damon just smiled, looking around at the set as he let me rant.

“Not even listening to me. Typical Steyn,” 1 huffed as the rest of my frustration drained out of me. My emotions settled as I calmed down. Usually, Damon would be happy to argue back with me, but not today, it seemed. I was the tiniest bit grateful for that. I didn’t have the energy to keep up with his
