A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 173
WILLIAM’S P.O.V*BACK AT THE RESORT*I noticed that Bailey was gone and that got me alarmed, especially with the fact that she was nowhere to be seen and she didn't even bother informing me that she was anywhere.Or perhaps she was in the bathroom."Doesn't this just remind you of the old times?" Gianna said. I smiled at her, not knowing what to say as the old times were the one thing that I didn't even want to have to think about. She had made me go through a lot and now she's acting like everything is fine.It was fine but things could never go back to the way it was and I planned on keeping it just that way. I wasn't going to behave like some immature boy, I was a man after all and that wasn't needed.I just ignored whatever she was saying, using my eyes to scan around the area in hopes that I would find her soon enough. I just wanted to make her happy, she blamed me for just abandoning her and now she just left.Gianna turned to look at me and then raised her brows. "Where's Bail

GIANNA’S POVThe both of them walked down and my heart clenched just at the sight and I just had to smile through the pain that I was feeling, pretending like it was nothing. I didn't even know that he was nowhere to be until I turned only to discover that he was not even anywhere close to the resort anymore. I panicked at that moment wondering where he was.I called him and the name the mentioned 'we', I knew there on that there was something more to it but I just acted like it was perfectly fine."Sorry if I disturbed you, I was just a little alarmed that both of you were nowhere to be found," I explained.He just smiled at me and nodded in response. It was pretty late so we decided to go home instead and throughout the car ride, the only thing I kept thinking about was Williams.There was something suspicious about their marriage though. I just couldn't understand what it was and tried to get a hint of it but I was sure that they were not the average normal couple at all. But i kn

GIANA’S P.O.V"So it's all an arranged marriage?" I asked again, and he nodded in response to my question.I stood up, still in disbelief that I had been fooling myself all along. I had initially thought that it was a real marriage only to discover that it was nothing but just a big lie.This was like a pat on the back for everything that I wished to do and I felt a smirk appear on my face as I thought of literally everything that I was going to do."Wait." I turned my attention back to Ethan and asked, "Why are you even helping me? Why do you feel the need to do all of this?" He took a deep breath and sided his way towards me with his hands, firmly coerced in his pockets. "It's because I love Bailey and I firmly believe that he doesn't deserve her."I stared at him in disbelief as he told me his true feelings. I was still very confused and just stood there in disbelief after he made mention of that.It was something that I would never have expected since he was exceptionally close t

BAILEY P.O.VThe entire place was set up for the ceremony and to be honest I didn't know why rich people like to exaggerate their parties.The entire decoration was to kill for and then be precise, it looked amazing but I hadn't even seen any sign of Aunt Celia. She invited us here to stay for a week but yet I haven't even seen a glimpse of her.She didn't show up once this past week and I'm guessing that there's something more behind the stay and that's why she asked us all to come. It was nice though because in some sort of way, I was able to get closer to William and also adventure in a new city."Hello ma'am," I heard and turned around to see a gorgeous blonde-haired girl looking at me with a vibrant smile on her face.I looked around trying to make sure that it was me. "Me?" I asked and she nodded in response."Do you need help or something?" I asked her. She handed me a bag and said, "Sir Williams said to give this to you. He said to make sure that you wear it to the party toni

BAILEY P.O.VI didn't know where we were headed either, but he just dragged me to an unfamiliar place. I didn't have any idea where we were and was sure that I hadn't been there before."Woah, what's this place?" I stared in awe as I looked around, happy by the sight.I didn't even know that such a place existed in the mansion and to think that he brought me here was even more surprising."What's this place?" I asked."The helicopter is coming to pick us up in five minutes. I've alerted Ethan and Gianna, they'd be following us," he informed me.I didn't know why but my heart sank at that moment. I thought that we would just have some time to ourselves. I stood there, almost freezing. We were up on the rooftop and my gown wasn't adhering to the cold.I felt someone wrap a jacket around me. My body hitched but relaxed a bit after realizing that it was just Williams. He has a shirt on but I still felt for him."Aren't you cold?" I asked him, feeling worried that I might be a bit selfish.

WILLIAMS P.O.VShe ran past me and I could tell that she was very embarrassed. She refused to even talk to me about it. I wanted to know what was going on with her but there she was hiding it away from me even refusing to go see the doctor.It was her body though and I would never think of forcing her to do what she didn't want to do but just thought that a doctor's appointment would be right because who knows what might be wrong with her and the reason why she was even hiding it.But I so wanted to know what was the reason for her vomiting like that. It didn't seem normal and that was why a doctor would be necessary in this case.Someone knocked on my bedroom door which snapped me out of my thoughts as I was now more curious about the things around me."Come in."Henry walked in with a bunch of files with him and I took a deep breath, feeling annoyed that immediately after coming back from Rome the first thing I was met with was work."More work?" I sarcastically asked. He laughed a

WILLIAMSAll the evidence was laid in front of me and the fact that she got pregnant right after two months after she left for Paris for her photo shoot and I didn't remember much but remembered that we had sex around that time."No, I can't believe this. This is all a lie and you only sleep around anyway so why should I believe you?" I retorted.She scoffed and rolled her eyes at me."Why are you arguing? All the evidence is right here in front of you and you are still doubting me."I couldn't believe all the claims and allegations she was boldly accusing me of without even thinking twice and I've never felt too furious in my life that this is how I'm treated."Are you kidding me? You expect me to believe you after I freaking caught you in bed with one of my friends," I reminded her.Her face was flushed and I couldn't help but remember that day. My heart broke that day and that was the day I realized that I had always felt something for her.She betrayed me after everything we've bee

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
