A PACT TO LOVE Chapter 155
WILLIAMS POV"What the hell is going on here?" I asked, after seeing the closure between them. It was rather unusual and suspicious because this was not the first time I had seen them in such a manner.They immediately disassembled and I could see that she was very embarrassed with the look on her face but I was annoyed at her behaviour, first she invades my privacy yesterday ranting about how she wants to tell me something, now she is here hugging my cousin in my fucking house. I agreed that this isn't a real marriage but that doesn't give her the right to hit on another guy after all we've been through especially not my relative."Um," Ethan spoke up. "We both were just discussing something which led to a hug. It's not what it looks like."He explained it all to me and I pretended to listen attentively like I cared about the shit he was spewing. "I think you've overstayed your welcome Ethan, it would be better if you left."He tried speaking up but I gave him a look and he just took

BAILEY P.O.VMy phone rang again for like the one-hundredth time, “Arghh,” I groaned loudly. I was so fed up, William kept bothering me with calls and There was no way in hell I would let him get away with all the horrible things he said to me.My phone rang again and I just couldn't take it, he was irritating me. I just couldn't handle the pressure that he was putting on me. I brought out my phone and switched it off once and for all.That'll teach him.I can't stand his arrogance right now, so what if I slept with Ethan, it was months ago and it didn't mean anything he had no right to say those things to me. I was so fed up with everything, there is so much of his horrible attitude I can take and right now he was the least of my problems.I wanted to clear my head a bit and after what had just went down, Williams's house was the last place I wanted to be. I felt so suffocated.I was about to cross the road to the other side when a blue car pulled over. I was confused as to who it wa

WILLIAM’S P.O.V"Please make me my usual coffee," I said to Agatha who was not too far off from the kitchen. It was an early day and I had to leave very early for work."Ok and good morning to you too," she greeted me and left to make me a cup of coffee. I waited at the dining table for her to bring when she was done making it, my attention was diverted when I noticed Bailey.She was still dressed in her pajamas and I couldn't deny, that seeing her morning hair attracted me a little bit but I just tried my best to ignore it, acting like it was entirely nothing to me."Good morning," she greeted but I just responded with a small nod. She didn't pay regard and just walked off into the kitchen.I didn't say much because I was still thinking about yesterday. She slapped me, walked out on me, and also dared to come back acting like it was nothing and I was the one overreacting.I acted like I didn't care when in fact I so fucking pissed that she did what she did. She came out a few minutes

CHAPTER 158BAILEYThe next morning, I got up late, sluggishly getting out of bed and making my way to the bathroom as I did my morning routineI pushed the kitchen door, freezing where I stood as I took the scene in front of me.Thought of William crossed my mind, I didn't see any sign of him at all and it was making me feel somewhat frustrated. His attitude towards me just changed these few days and it seemed he was hell-bent on making me feel terrible.The door snapped open revealing Agatha. "Sleeping beauty," Agatha says, looking up from what she was doing to greet me. " How was your night?" She asks."Fine, yours?" I ask trailing my eyes to the other person in the room."It was fine too." She answers me with a smile before following my gaze. "I doubt you've met Gianna.""Gianna?" I ask, confused. Then it crossed my mind that she mentioned her name last night. She was the one that made William act weirdly yesterday."Yeah, she grew up with William, they've been friends since dia

William's P.O.VA day after the product launch event.I turned to my side, staring at the sleeping form of Bailey. who was sleeping so peacefully, her chest rising and falling with each breath she took and a little snore escaping the space between her lips.I thought back to yesterday, I was beyond ecstatic that it was a success and the day went without a hitch.I got up from the bed, stretching as I walked into the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for work. A couple minutes later, I walked back out of the bathroom, with my towel firmly secured around my waist. Glancing at Bailey who was still soundly sleeping, I smirked remembering how I wore her out and how the night ended.I ran my hands through my soaked hair making my way into the closet, I picked out a suit and got dressed walking back out to get my keys and phone. Sending one final glance her way, I make my way out of the room, getting into my car, and driving for another day at the office.I parked my car in the lot cur

THE PRESENTWILLIAM. P.O.VI couldn't wait to take off my work clothes and get a good bath because many other things were making me get all stressed. I couldn't have been more annoyed with Henry today, or perhaps I was just venting out the natural frustration I was facing.“Hi William,” I heard a familiar voice mention my name. I couldn't have been more shocked at that as I turned to see who it was.She had that same vibrant smile on her face that brought about so many memories. I just couldn't get myself together at that moment, as all I did was just stare blankly at her in pure horror.“What…what are you doing here?” I asked, staring deeply at her confused.“Silly you,” she laughed out loud. “My mom works for you, remember? I'm here to see her.”She walked over to the dining table, arranging everything accordingly, while I just stared at her, still confused by the fact that she was really there.“Gianna,” I called out softly, and she wasted no time in turning to look at me with a sw

WILLIAM P.O.V“Yes, send me those files right away,” I said over to Henry and hung up the phone. It has been a stressful day right from the first week, but now that I'm at the top, I have to do whatever it takes to remain at the top.I was lost in my thoughts until a knock distracted me, I looked up to see that it was none other than Bailey. She had a cup of coffee in her hands with a small smile on her face.“Can I come in?” She politely requested. I took a deep breath and nodded in response for her to come in. She smiled and walked towards me, placing the coffee on my desk.“Thanks,” I said and took a sip of the coffee. I had to admit that it tasted perfect and was quite intriguing with the designs on it.“You made this?” I asked and she nodded in response. She took a seat opposite my direction, while I just watched her, wondering why she was here in the first place.She hardly ever comes into my study, so it got me a little alarmed that she was here all by herself without any need
A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 162
BAILEY P.O.V“Thanks for coming, Shayna. I honestly didn't know how I was going to deal with this all by myself,” I laughed, digging through my closet for what to wear.“But why are you so frightened anyway? Isn't it just like an outing with a girl, and you're making it like a big issue,” she claimed.I rolled my eyes at her, wishing that she knew what sort of girl it was and the humiliation I had to face because of her. Thinking about going out with her was driving me crazy, especially with the fact that she only pretends to be nice to me around everyone else.I wonder what she'll say or do when we are alone shopping?“Trust me, Shay. She's nothing like what she seems, and I sense that there's something more to her that I don't know,” I said, letting out my thoughts.I would rather not jump to conclusions yet, but Williams was just showing every sign of it. He always acted weird whenever her name was mentioned and the day she was seated with us, he was also acting so weird around her

EPILOGUE A few months later…Bailey's POV I sighed as I finally laid Arlo to sleep after all the crying. I looked at his peaceful face and couldn't help but notice how much he looked like William.After a lot of horrible suggestions from William and Shayna. We finally agreed to name him Arlo after William's grandfather, it was either that or John Cena. And I was not gonna name my son after William's favorite wrestler or after Shayna's favorite rapper.I quietly left the room in search of William. It had been a very long day and I hadn't seen much of him. Matthew had thrown us a huge party to celebrate the renewal of our marriage vows and I was tired from all the rush and excitement.I opened the door to our room to find him asleep, at least that's what I thought. I went into the bathroom to take a shower and came back to lay beside him. It wasn't even up to 5 minutes when I heard Arlo crying through the baby monitor. I groaned in utter frustration and

A few months later…Bailey's POV “Thank you for coming with me,” I said as I adjusted my seatbelt. “You don't need to thank me, according to this book, it's my duty.” He said, pointing to the pregnancy help book on his lap, William has been reading a lot of these pregnancy help books over the weeks and I personally think the author sucks. Just last week, he kept trying to convince me to go for something called a vagina steam, and don't get me started on the time he practically coerced me into making a mayonnaise face mask. How does that help the baby? William pushing a stray strand of hair to my ear brought me out of my thoughts. He shifted it back a little so that it was not too tight on my belly. He was always so cautious and passionate when it came to my belly and he had no idea how happy and secure that made me feel. “Thank you. I'm tired already, I can't wait for him to come out.” I grumbled, touching my belly. He chuckled. “I gotta admit, pregnancy suits you.” He teased me

Bailey's POVThe gates of the mansion opened up as I pressed the entry code, as I got to the big doors I saw Agatha “Oh, child.” Agatha said, running to me when she spotted me. Worry was written all over her face. I was surprised to see her seeing as William wasn't sure she would come back after he jailed Gianna. “Agatha.” I smiled at her and entered the living room. She glanced at my stomach and I noticed her eyes got watery. “Oh, Bailey.”“It's been so long aunt, how have you been?” I asked her and she hugged me. I didn't resist. I hugged her back. She must be going through quite a rough time herself, I thought.“Erm.. I'm so sorry about Gianna.” There was a moment of silence and then she spoke.“You don't have to apologize for anything, child. She made her own choices and she has to own up to the outcome, hm?” She said, holding my chin, and smiling. I forced a smile too.“I'm so glad you're back. Should I make you something? You must be so tired.”“Noo, I am not um… I won't be lo

Matthew's POV“It all started when I fell sick, some months after William turned 9. I fell into a coma during my sleep and woke up with a stroke.”I recounted and Bailey gasped in shock.“Ohh my God! I am so sorry, that must have been horrible” she replied, tears welling up in her eyes.“It was and there is no need to feel sorry for me. It happened years ago,” I replied and she nodded. I know I was a bit harsh with my words but I absolutely despised it when people felt pitied for me. I continued talking, and Bailey inched closer.“My life was shambles. Vannessa wasn't working then and I was the main provider for my family. It was also the worst timing because prior to that horrible day, I remember making plans for us to take a trip.. I wanted to make an extra effort to bond with them and have a good time, as Vanessa always complained that I spent too much time working and was almost never at home.” I took a deep breath before speaking up again.“It wasn't entirely my fault I was alway

3 MONTHS LATER…Bailey's POV“Yes Shayna, I'm just getting home. I'm about to climb the stairs.” I said, balancing the grocery bag in my other hand.“Take the elevator. Why are you using the stairs, are you trying to kill my baby?” she squealed.“Your baby?” I asked.“You know what I mean! But just take the elevator Bails,” “If you must know, I got to the elevator and saw it was under repairs. According to Richard, it broke down in the morning. Besides, using the stairs would mean exercising, it keeps the baby active.”“Okay. How was the appointment? What did the gyne say?”“Nothing negative, Ultrasound is done, baby's fine. He said we'll be able to determine the baby's sex by next week.” I said and she squeaked happily.“Okay cool but don't wait up for me today, I'll be home late. I'm going out with Scott today.” “You guys have been doing a lot of that lately, but you claim it's nothing serious.” I mocked. “Yes, because it's nothing serious. Get your mind out of the gutters, Baile

Bailey's POV“What.. What's this, William? Divorce papers? W..why?” I asked, my voice trembling and breaking as I stared at William who types away on his phone. “Don't ask me why. Just sign the damn papers.” He replied, his eyes still fixed on his phone. He didn't bother to meet my eyes. “But this..this means..”“I know exactly what this means, Bailey. I breached the contract, so I'm gonna pay you. Henry would handle that aspect. Now, please, sign the goddamn papers.” He said, finally putting the stupid phone away. I don't know if it was the pregnancy hormones kicking in, but I hate that stupid phone.“I wasn't talking about the money, I-”“Bailey I really don't have time to waste. Sign these.” My leg started growing weak. I sniffed. I had been trying very hard to stop myself from crying but my voice was giving me off. I had to sniff to push the emotions in. “B.. But what about your grandfather's will? Your inheritance? How are you going to get..”I said, my voice breaking. “I don

Bailey’s P.O.V“William what…where have you been? No, don't answer that. I have never been so glad to see you. Did yo.. did you hear what Ethan said about gian-“Yes, I heard everything.” he replied with a sad look on his face. He looked tired and uninterested with what I had to say. I slowly observed his appearance and the sound of something dripping caught my attention. That was when I noticed the massive trail of blood around William, I gasped when I saw his bloody knuckles.“W.. William, what happened to you? Why… let me go get the first aid box,” I stammered as words failed me. “Just stay here, I'll be ba–”“Don’t bother, I can take care of myself,” he cut me off and turned around heading towards the kitchen door. “Wait, where are you going? I called out to him, “You can't leave me here. What about Ethan? W… what are we gonna do about him?” I whispered that last part out.“Nothing, I’m going upstairs to take a shower and as for Ethan, leave him. The cops will be here any minute
A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 191
Bailey’s POVBang! A loud crash jolted me up from my sleep, I rubbed my eyes groggily to try to make sense of my surroundings when I heard another crash, it sounded like it was coming from downstairs. I reached for my phone to check the time and saw it was the dead of the night. I couldn't help but wonder where William was and who could be causing such a commotion.“What's going on,” I mumbled in a sleep state as I rushed downstairs, the kitchen seemed to be the source of the noise. The kitchen was in a mess, broken plates, broken silverware, everything was in a mess and Ethan was in the middle of it all, he was standing there in a disheveled state, his hair was a mess and there were dark circles under his eyes it looked like he hasn't slept for days. I was still taking in his features when he threw an empty wine bottle on the floor causing an ear shrieking noise.“Ethan,” I called out my voice trembling, “What…what are you doing,” I asked, “what are you doing here so late at night?”
A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 190
BAILEYThe past week has been so weird, everyone's attention has just been weirdly fixed on me, especially William. I noticed that he's becoming more caring and always following me for doctor appointments whenever he has the time.It's nice of him to do so and I would never complain of such but it does seem a little fishy. I had always thought that he wouldn't want to even like the idea of having a baby, especially since Gigi is in the picture but he's different.And not once did he even opt for things like abortion or divorce. He's being so mature about it, I had expected earlier on for things to go much worse than this.I heard a knock on my door and it was like I was talking about the devil. I looked up to see Williams holding a coconut oil in his hands. I smiled admiring his peaceful nature. “Hey you,” he walked over to my side, sitting close to me on the bed.“Hi, how have you been?”“Good, just bought this for you,” he brought out the oil. I was about to collect it but he immed
