The Contract

Chapter 174-The Folly

I sighed and turned to the other side, my head was reminding me with a ringing pain that I had to be up. I sighed and got my eyes open, my vision was blurry at first and all I could see was the hazy view of those familiar ceiling.

I laid there for what felt like a minute before slowly getting up, so not to trigger the headache. I glanced around the room, my bag and heels were trashed by the door and I was still in the white dress from yesterday.

Gosh, I shouldn't have hit that club, what was I thinking? Who hits a club in Christmas?

I slowly got out of the bed, my feet settling on the floor and my hand in my head. I need an aspirin and where was my phone?

Glancing back at the bed, I couldn't find it. Where did I drop it? I headed down the stairs to the kitchen. "Good morning Mrs Ferrari" Williams greeted.

"Yes Williams, has this morning's papers arrived?" I asked, rubbing my eyes. "It is..." He trailed off, not seeming to complete it, I glanced back at him and shot him a look before sighting Evelyn.

I followed her into the kitchen, "has the morning's paper arrived..." I asked but stopped myself once I saw it on the counter.

"Mrs Ferrari" She appeared in front of me with a bright smile on her lips, "would you like some coffee?" She suggested.

"That would be nice and an aspirin too" I requested before walking past and grabbing the papers, I first glanced at the clock which read past 9 am and then looking down at the papers.

Breaking News: Scandal Erupts as Wedding Planner Pearl Vega Spotted Kissing Aiden Miller on Christmas Night

My breath caught in my throat immediately.

In a shocking turn of events, Pearl Vega, renowned wedding planner and celebrated creative behind some of LA's most luxurious nuptials, has found herself at the center of a controversy that could shatter both her professional and personal life.

Late on Christmas night, Vega was photographed in a heated embrace with Aiden Miller, a rising business magnate, outside a high-end nightclub parking lot. The scene was both intimate and damning, as sources claim it appeared to be more than a casual moment between acquaintances.

The timing of this revelation is particularly scandalous. Vega, 23, is famously married to Travis Ferrari, billionaire tycoon and owner of Empire, one of the world's largest conglomerates. Known for their high-profile but reserved marriage, the Ferraris have long been considered one of the city's power couples.

Eyewitnesses claim the pair left the club separately but reunited outside under the glow of Christmas lights, sharing a kiss that has since set social media ablaze. "It was shocking," one witness stated. "They weren't exactly hiding. It was bold."

This development could be disastrous for Vega, whose career relies on her impeccable image. As an event planner specializing in crafting "happily-ever-afters," this personal scandal strikes a sharp contrast to the perfection she promises her clients.

Fans and critics alike have taken to social media to express their shock, with many pointing out the hypocrisy of someone in Vega's position engaging in an extramarital affair.

Miller, whose ventures have made him a fixture in social circles, has declined to comment. Meanwhile, Ferrari, known for his notoriously private demeanor, has yet to make a public statement. Sources close to Empire reveal tension within the Ferrari household, with some speculating that the scandal could threaten not only their marriage but also Pearl's association with Empire's philanthropic endeavors.
