Time-Limited Love: A Contract Expired, Not Renewed novel Chapter 281

“What did you message my wife? You nearly got her killed because of it!”

“Noelle, where did you find the nerve to play games with me like this?”

Landon’s tone was calm—almost casual, as if they were discussing the weather. But the glint in his eyes was icy, deadly serious, and the malice was impossible to miss. It was the kind of look that promised he could snap Noelle’s neck without a second thought.

Noelle was truly terrified now.

All her confidence—the certainty that “Landon will always love me”—crumbled as his grip tightened around her throat.

Just as Noelle was about to be strangled for real, a few bystanders finally stepped in, prying at Landon’s hand.

“If you don’t let go, you’re actually going to kill her,” Chandler said, stepping between them.

But Landon’s hand was like a steel vice. His strength was terrifying. Even with both Arrow and Connor trying to pull him away, they couldn’t break his hold.

For a moment, everyone in the room believed that Landon genuinely wanted to end Noelle’s life right here and now.

And honestly, with the power the Ford family wielded, they could make Noelle’s disappearance look like nothing more than a blip on the radar.

Even so, Chandler tried again.

“If you kill her and end up in prison, your future kids with Zinnia won’t ever be able to get into public service.”

Landon didn’t loosen his grip. Kids with Zinnia? If he lost his wife, what kids would he have left to care about?

If anything, the pressure around Noelle’s neck intensified.

Chandler clicked his tongue in frustration.

“If you go to prison, Zinnia will just marry someone else. You’ll lose her for good.”
