A Contract With Mr. Billionaire 43. Surprise surprise
Monique's Pov After spending two days in the house without Gavin, he was finally supposed to be arriving today, and I had expected him to come straight home from the airport, but surprisingly, he wasn't home yet. I knew he was back already because the media had already reported his return, and just like they had been speculating in the last two days, most of the articles didn't stop blabbing about how something might have gone wrong between myself and Gavin during our honeymoon, which would explain why we came back to the country separately. I was less concerned about the rumors surrounding why we came separately, but I was more bothered by the fact that Gavin hadn't bothered to call me to inform me that he was back in the country. I was curious to know if I was right about Whitney and if she had really created a coincidental meeting with him at the airport. And if what I thought turned out to be true, then there was a possibility that you could be spending time together righ

Third-person Pov Gavin didn't know what was wrong with him or why he was reacting so childishly towards Monique, but he couldn't help it. When he arrived at the airport earlier, he had wanted to call Monique to inform her that he was around, but all of a sudden, he simply concluded that she wasn't going to care to hear from him, so he didn't bother calling her. Later on, when she called him while he was in a meeting, he could have easily texted her to let her know that he was in a meeting and couldn't speak to her, but instead of doing that, he simply ignored her calls. He was sure that she had called him over ten times today, but he ignored her call all through, and now, instead of reacting to the fact that she had been waiting for him in the living room, he simply walked past her after giving a very nonchalant response.He could tell that she wasn't happy by the way he reacted to her, and he could also feel her coming right up behind him. "What the hell is going on with you,

Third-person Pov It was Saturday afternoon, and both Gavin and Monique were home. Gavin knew that things between himself and Monique have been awkward ever since they came back from Greece, so he wanted to use today to settle things between them. He felt a little responsible for how things had gotten between them, and he didn't like how he had allowed himself to become overly emotional in the last few days, simply because of something that he could have easily spoken to her about. After making up his mind, he started to make his way to her bedroom, hoping to see her and settle things with her, but on stepping out of his room and heading towards her room, he would spot her coming out of her room dressed casually but at the same time elegantly. He would immediately furrow his eyebrows in confusion, wondering where she was going on a Saturday. As far as he knew, Monique didn't exactly have any friends that she could hang out with on a Saturday, so he couldn't help but wonder whe

Third-person Pov Monique walked into the secluded VIP area of the restaurant, and almost as soon as she walked in, she spotted Cole sitting at a distance. She couldn't help the instant disgust that she felt at seeing him, and a part of her immediately regretted her decision to meet with him on such a good Saturday. She wondered if it would have been better for her to let go of her pride and spend her Saturday with Gavin instead of spending it with someone who repulsed her so much. She was contemplating whether or not to just turn back and leave when, all of a sudden, she would hear him call out her name and realized that she could no longer leave since he already spotted her. “Over here!” Cole called out, motioning for Monique to join him. Realizing that there was no way for her to avoid the situation any longer, she mentally made up her mind to deal with it since she agreed to it. Forcing a smile on her face, she greeted. “Hi there, Cole,” struggling to sound polite even th

WHITNEY POV“Ma’am.” I snapped out of my reverie from the voice of Kennedy. I was a little startled because she had called me loudly and I thought someone was after my life. I snapped at her. “What is wrong with you and why did you do that?”She didn’t do anything wrong. If it wasn’t because of the deep thoughts I have lately, I wouldn’t have snapped at her. I was passing aggressively towards her because I could not to the person who was the cause of my predicament. It’s been three days and my foster father had been calling and threatening her to send him money. She didn’t have money and Cole has made it hard for her. He even got more bodyguards in the house to monitor her movements. He went as far as threatening to divorce her if she made him angry. Everything seems to be against her for the first time and she didn’t find it pleasing. For days she has thought hard about what to do and how to get over this phase in her life. “I’m sorry ma.

A Contract With Mr. Billionaire 50. Whitney’s vow
WHITNEYS POV“Take a look at this house,” he uttered, looking around the house.“I’m guessing this must be the reason that you’ve decided to forget what your job is. You want to live in here, don’t you?” He remarked.“Tsk, tsk, tsk,” he clicked his tongue.“You’ve lived in far more beautiful houses and have been with even bigger men but you chose this place? You chose to forget what your mission is. Or do you need someone to remind you?” He flicked his finger against my forehead and I refused to let out any sound. If I made any noise because of his actions, he would hit me more and I didn’t want that. While I stood firmly in front of him, I was shivering in fear and he knew that. He could read me like an open book without having to try. “I asked you for money. I needed money. You said you’d get me money but stopped answering my calls.”All the while he spoke, he walked around me in circles as if sniffing me like a predator to a prey. “Answer me bitch!” He grabbed a fistful of my

Third-person Pov “Con artist Jennifer Cabello has finally been caught after years of escaping the authorities. She has a record of drugging, manipulating, and stealing from men, as well as marrying them, and faking abuse in order to get divorce settlements. She was also discovered to be the murderer of her foster father, Robin Owen, as well as being involved in a drug-related business,” the newscaster went on, and Monique watched with a satisfied smile on her face. It's been a few days since Whitney was arrested, and as soon as she heard the news of her arrest, she hasn't stopped smiling. She couldn't believe that the person who almost ruined her life, as well as the lives of many other people, had finally been brought to justice, and she couldn't wait to hear what sentence Whitney was going to be given.

Third-person POV Whitney was nervous, but she tried not to show how nervous she was, especially since she was going to be dealing with gang members, and she couldn't afford to let them know she was a novice. She wasn't about to give them the privilege of walking all over her, so she maintained a bold look on her face, and was very much ready to meet with them, close the deal and be on her way. She had been waiting for about half an hour now, and it was already late into the night.“Why the hell are they not coming?” she wondered out loud as her impatience grew. She typically wasn't a very patient person, and because of how dangerous what she was about to do was, she needed them to get here as soon as possible so that she can get this over with. After waiting for another five minutes, she would spot a thug like man walking toward her, and immediately think to herself that it had to be one of the gang members. “Whitney?” he asked when he finally approached her, and she couldn't h

THIRD PERSON POV“Are you certain that if you see the face of the person you can tell?” The police officer asked the elderly man who claims to have seen someone visit the late Mr. Robin before he died.“Yes, I am certain. That day a lady came by the house. I was taking a stroll around that street. The street is usually quiet because nobody lives there. That cottage is the only cottage there and each time I took a stroll there, I never saw anyone so I was surprised to see a young pretty lady.” The man revealed. He continued with his statements, “I didn’t see her face at first until she turned to look around before entering the house.”“It was during the day that she entered the cottage but at midnight, I saw that lady leaving the cottage and you might be wondering what I was doing there so I will tell you,” he said to the officers before they questioned him any further.“As an old man, I take a stroll a lot of the time because of my legs. It was quite late when I was returning to my h

Whitney's Pov I was seriously running out of money, and it was making me anxious. I had spent way too long at the hotel, as well as spending a lot of money there, but after the stunt I pulled in Gavin's house, I really checked out of the hotel and came to a much cheaper one. I couldn't remember the last time I stayed in such a cheap hotel, but because I didn't have any more money to spluuch and I also needed to remain low-key for a while, I had no other choice but to forcefully enjoy my stay here. I still hadn't heard any news on what happened in the house, but I was desperately hoping that I would hear about Monique's death because that was the only thing that could make me happy. I desperately needed to hear that she was paying for mocking me and that Gavin was whiling away in his misery for daring to make a fool of me. I had a television on for that reason, and I also kept scrolling and scrolling on the internet to see if the news would come up. It had been almost a da
A Contract With Mr. Billionaire 93. Still in shock
Third-person Pov Despite everything, Monique still could not believe what she had just experienced. It all still felt like a dream to her, and she was waiting for someone to wake her up from this horrible nightmare that she just had. If there was one thing she had avoided all her life, it was getting involved in any situation that could lead to a fire. She was always extra careful when it came to anything that could cause a fire, so the fact that she experienced being in a fire again after trying so hard to avoid it all her life made her feel like she was losing her mind. It also reminded her of everything that she had gone through in her childhood, starting from how she would have died in the fire that her father started if her mother hadn't protected her and how a fire was what ended her mother's life. It had all come rushing back to her in that moment, and now that she was out of danger, she couldn't remember the fear she had felt while it was happening and how it had resur

THIRD PERSON POVIt was the day for Whitney to meet up with the men Cole wanted her to meet. She had six hours before the said time but she had something else going on in her mind.“I think it’s best I do this now before going over there,” she said to herself.As much as she wanted to relax and wait for some other time, for some reason, she felt now was the perfect time for her to do what she wanted. “Do it. Don’t do it. Do it. Don’t do it.” She chanted until she decided to do what it was that she had in mind because she knew that she wouldn’t be able to get it off her mind if she didn't do it.She changed into an entirely different outfit that consisted of a short and white polo shirt. She put some kerosene in a small container. She put on a blackface cap before leaving the hotel room.She didn’t have any makeup on as she wanted her disguise to be so perfect. Whitney planned to infiltrate Gavin’s mansion and set the room where Monique was on fire.She had been thinking about it sinc

THIRD PERSON POV“I am never going to lose. I am not one to lose and Gavin chose the wrong person to mess with.” Whitney muttered to herself as she watched Gavin and Monique walk away look so happyShe clenched her fist with a frown on her face as knots in her stomach tightened. It hurts so much that she feels this way. She didn’t expect any of this to happen. When she did what she did for him, she expected to have a but it seems Gavin wouldn’t give her that and she refused to lose.She had lost everything as it was and even if she had to do the worst of it all to get what she wanted then she’d do it and if she could not get what she wanted then nobody would get what they wanted.With that thought in her, she walked away with so much in her mind. She was thinking of her to fight back and what to do to make Monique pay. When she returned to her hotel room, she went for a long shower because it was usually in her showers, for the craziest of her ideas.When she came out of the bathroom
A Contract With Mr. Billionaire 90. Coming for her
Whitney's Pov I was in my car, waiting outside Gavin Jones's estate to see if at any point he would come out of the house.I had tried calling him a few more times, but it seemed like he had completely blocked my number, which made absolutely no sense, and it annoyed me in ways that I couldn't even begin to describe. I wanted to see if I would run into him by chance, so I was waiting for him and hoping that he would come out of the house so that I would pretentiously run into him and ask him why he was avoiding me after I helped him. After waiting for almost two hours and wondering if I should give up or not, I finally spotted a car driving out of the estate. I couldn't see who was behind the car, but seeing how one of the security guards bowed, I concluded that it had to be Gavin and no one else. My curiosity getting the better of me, I followed behind the car and drove behind it for about an hour until the car finally stopped in front of a spa that I recognized. When I realize
A Contract With Mr. Billionaire 89. The uninvited guest
Third-person Pov “Can you explain to me what the hell you're doing here, dad?” Gavin questioned impatiently as he stared at his father with an annoyed look on his face. He could immediately tell that his mother had gotten uncomfortable seeing that his father had suddenly shown up, and the last thing he wanted was for his mother to be uncomfortable. “What is it, Gavin? Can't I come here to see my ex-wife after she finally recovered from her stroke? Am I in the wrong for coming to pay her a visit?” Gabriel Jones questioned, wearing an amused look on his face that only pissed Gavin off even more.He turned to look at his mother and Monique, who were both staring back and forth at them with confused looks on their faces as well. “Mon, could you please escort my mother to her bedroom and keep her there until I'm done escorting this man out of the house?” he requested.Gabriel scoffed. “I didn't come here to see you, and I'm definitely not going to be escorted out of here without speak
