Billionaire Contract Wife Chapter Twelve
Claire had barely settled down at her desk when her team manager called her over. She rushed up to him, and he just scanned her in silence before saying anything. “For someone who called in sick for a whole week, you look absolutely fine,” he finally said. “I’ve been taking good care of myself so I could recover quickly,” Claire replied. “Don’t think I’ll let this slide just because the CEO’s office informed us,” he continued “The CEO’s office?” Claire asked, surprised. Alex never told her anything about this, and now that she thought about it, she never called in sick herself, which meant he had done everything for her. “Yes. So tell me, are you hooking up with the CEO, or did he pimp you out to an investor?” Claire couldn’t believe her ears. How dare he casually accuse her of something like that? “Nothing of the sort happened,” Claire replied firmly. “You think I don’t know how this works? Why else would the CEO’s office get involved in your matters if you weren’t hooki

"And what is that supposed to mean? Not like I care anyway," Claire quickly chipped in."Can’t you see? We were supposed to help each other, or maybe even more." He trailed his finger across her face and over her lips. "We can be so much more."Claire wasn’t sure what he meant by that, but she had certainly had enough of him. "Let me go already.""When I told you to pick your sides carefully, it wasn’t a joke. He doesn’t even treat you that well, so why are you hell-bent on protecting him?""I don’t know what you’re talking about because I love my husband, and whatever it is between the two of you, I don’t want to get involved.""You got involved when you married him. If you hadn’t married him when you did, the company would have been mine and mine alone.""I don’t care about your bullshit. Just let go of me now." She struggled to get out of his grip but it remained strong."Divorce him Claire. I’ll pay as much as you want." He said in a low tone while staring directly into her eyes.

Alexander stormed out of his office and strode to the elevator, fury etched on his face. He was seething with anger after what the head of security had told him. He tapped his foot impatiently in the elevator as it descended to the 14th floor. The moment the elevator stopped, he wasted no time getting out and storming into the fire exit. His eyes quickly landed on Charles’s hand wrapped around her wrist, and he clenched his jaw at the sight. Without hesitation, he charged at Charles, grabbed him by the collar, and shoved him against the wall. "How dare you put your hands on my wife!" His eyes burned with fury. "I didn’t know you loved your wife this much, brother," Charles said with a smirk on his face. “You better shut that mouth of yours, or I’ll make sure you won’t be able to use it for a while." "Okay, okay. I was just having a friendly conversation with her. Right?" Charles said, tilting his head to the side to face Claire, who stood behind them, clutching her wrist. "Yeah,

Claire received a call from the hospital about her mum on her way back home, so she instructed the cab driver to take her there. When she arrived, she found her mum’s belongings fully packed. All that was needed was her signature, and her mum would be ready to go home. After months of being in the hospital, she was finally being discharged. Claire signed the papers excitedly, but then it crossed her mind that she was now married, and her mum didn’t know about it. She couldn’t even tell her because they would soon end the marriage. She made sure to keep a smile on her face as she signed all the papers, and her mum was free to go. She gathered her mum’s belongings, and they walked side by side out of the hospital. “I can’t believe I made it out of here alive,” her mum said the moment they stepped out, a tear of joy trickling down her cheek. “I’m so glad you made it out alive,” Claire said, pulling her mum into a hug. “Oh,” her mum exclaimed as if she remembered something.

"Charlotte?" Claire and her mum said simultaneously, their voices filled with surprise."Claire? Are you... wait a minute." Charlotte squinted, a slow realization dawning on her face. "You're Mrs. Smith's troublemaker daughter! How did I not realize that earlier?"Claire's jaw clenched, her expression tightening with irritation, but she forced herself to remain silent. Her mum, however, stood up eagerly, a wide smile spreading across her face. "Oh, my goodness! It's been years!" She rushed forward, her eyes lighting up at the sight of Charlotte, the daughter of the family from the last house where she had worked as a maid.“It's been so long, Charlotte! I almost didn’t recognize you," Claire’s mum exclaimed, her face lighting up as she rushed forward and pulled Charlotte into a tight hug.Charlotte stiffened for a moment and rolled her eyes. "Fancy meeting you here... I almost didn’t recognize you either," she said, pulling back and giving Claire's mum a quick up-and-down glance. A sm

Claire almost choked on her food when she saw his text. She managed to flash a smile and quickly told her mum she needed to use the restroom. Once there, she called Alexander, and he picked up almost immediately. "Why didn’t you answer your phone?" His voice sounded tense over the line. "How do you know I’m at Rico’s Diner? Did Charlotte tell you?" "You still haven’t answered my question. Why didn’t you pick up your phone?" "Well, maybe because I can decide not to. How the hell is that your business?" "You're always so eager to argue, and it seems you've forgotten I have your live location. I see you ran into Charlotte at the diner. Are you worried she'll tell me who you were with?" "I'm with my mum, in case you're wondering. I wouldn’t go on a date, at least not while we're still married." "I see her surgery went well. Good." "Well, now that you know, I’m hanging up." Here’s the corrected version of your text: "So, that means you’re staying out tonight?" "Isn’t t

Tess proceeded to share how she was Alexander’s former secretary and had tried various tricks and tips to get him into bed with her so she could marry him. However, all her attempts failed, and in the end, she was dismissed from her position and given another role within the company. She was still grateful because he could have fired her completely. "I guess he still has a bit of humanity in him," Claire thought to herself after hearing Tess’s story. "That’s how I know he’ll never look at you, even if you try," Tess concluded with a bright smile. This made Claire wonder what her fate with him would be and made her more determined to keep her job at all costs. Her contract would soon be over, and there was no hope of Alexander ever having a change of heart toward her, not that she wanted him to, or so she thought. On their way back to the office, Claire received a call from Alexander, asking her to come up to his office. She excused herself from Tess and took another elevator to

When they arrived home, everything was already packed for their overnight stay in Paris. Claire barely had time to shower and change her clothes due to Alexander’s rush. Once they finally got into the car, she had a quick conversation with her mum over the phone, explaining that she was on a work trip and would be back tomorrow. "If you're worried about leaving your mum by herself, I can send Mrs. Hamptons to stay with her," Alexander said, noticing the worried look on Claire's face. "That would be a great idea if my mum knew I was married to a billionaire, but she doesn’t. So, let's keep it at that. Nice idea, though." They soon arrived at the airport and were warmly ushered to the lounge. It didn’t take long before they were transported by car to the departure terminal, where they would board Alexander’s private jet. Despite knowing how wealthy he was, Claire never failed to be amazed every time. Claire looked around in awe as they settled into the private jet. The interior

It was already late when Alex returned home. He slipped off his jacket and flung it over the sofa before sinking into it with a deep sigh. His body ached with exhaustion, and he assumed Claire had already gone to bed until he heard faint sounds coming from the kitchen. A frown creased through his brows seeing It was too late for Mrs. Hamptons to still be around.Alex got up and took careful steps towards the kitchen quietly. The sight that greeted him was Claire wearing a short red nightgown that clung to her figure. Her hair was slightly tousled, and her lips glistened as she drank from a glass of water.She noticed him and smiled. "Hey, you're back."For a moment, Alex couldn't speak. He just stood there, staring, his lips parted as though he'd forgotten how to breathe.She looked so effortlessly stunning it was almost painful."Alex?" Her voice snapped him out of his daze."Uh, yeah. I just got back," he said, trying to sound casual but failing miserably."I was worried, so I staye
Billionaire Contract Wife Chapter 43
The news spread quickly on social media: Charlotte Briggs was not Alexander Steele’s real wife. As expected, her father’s company, which was finally getting back on track, took a huge hit. Charlotte was furious as she scrolled through post after post mocking her. People accused her of trying to take what wasn’t hers, calling her a liar for pretending to be Alexander’s wife. Some even said she deserved everything that was happening for staying quiet when the rumors started. Her anger boiled over when she read one comment: “The great Charlotte Briggs lost to a nobody. How embarrassing!”“Ugh!” she screamed, grabbing her phone and throwing it against the wall. It shattered with a loud crash. At that moment, her father stormed into the room. Charlotte jumped to her feet, quickly fixing her short dress and trying to compose herself. “Dad… I…” she began, forcing a nervous laugh, but her father’s furious glare stopped her in her tracks. He cut her off with a sharp slap across her fa

When they entered Alex’s office, Charlotte was already there with her phone clutched tightly in her hand as she tapped her heel impatiently on the polished floor.The moment Alex stepped inside, she sprang to her feet and marched toward him, shoving her phone in his face. "Have you seen this? I told you she’s not worth all the time and effort you’re wasting on her! Just divorce her already!"Alex glanced at the image on her phone, “Where did you get those pictures?” He asked in a low tone and a dismissive expression on his face.“Does it matter?” Charlotte snapped. “What matters is that she’s not faithful to you. Look at this! Another man is kissing her it’s right here, plain as day!”Claire entered the room just then. She tilted her head slightly “Judging from the urgency in your voice, Charlotte, I’m guessing you didn’t know the full story behind this.”Charlotte’s face twisted in anger. “How dare you still act all coy and sly after this?! You’ve been caught red-handed!”Claire cros

The room went silent as the weight of Alex words sank in. Loud gasps soon filled everywhere at the realization of what was happening. It was as if everyone processed their thoughts at the same time. The manager paled, taking a step back. "Sir, I—I didn’t know—" “You didn’t know?” Alex interrupted, his voice cold now. “So you thought it was okay to assault a colleague? Do you have any idea what you’ve just done?” “Sir, I—” “Save it. I don’t want to hear another word from you.” Alex turned to his secretary. “Call HR. I want this man out of this building immediately.” “Yes, sir,” the secretary replied, already pulling out her phone. Alex turned back to Claire, gently taking her hand away from her cheek to assess the damage. "Are you okay?" he asked softly. She nodded, though her eyes brimmed with tears. “I’m fine,” she whispered, her voice breaking slightly. “You won’t have to deal with him again. I’ll make sure of it,” Alex said firmly. He placed a comforting hand

The next morning, Alex checked Claire’s room and found it empty, which immediately set off alarm bells in his mind. Worried, he picked up his phone and called her. A familiar ringtone sounded from downstairs, and he rushed down to find her already dressed for work and sipping a cup of milk at the kitchen counter. "Why are you calling me?" she asked, glancing at him over her cup. "You weren’t in your room," Alex replied, still slightly out of breath. "I couldn’t sleep, so I decided to get ready for work early," she replied with a tired smile. Alex walked over to her, with concern across his face. "Are you sure you want to go to work today? You don’t have to push yourself." "Thanks for the concern, but I’m fine," Claire assured him, though the bags under her eyes told a different story. "I promise." Alex wasn’t convinced in the slightest. "Claire, after everything that happened yesterday, maybe you should take the day off. Rest. You know, process things." She shook her hea

Claire couldn’t stop replaying what happened earlier in her mind during the ride home with Alex. She sighed occasionally, which set the tension in the car and it made Alex curious about what might be going on. Alex cleared his throat noisily to ease the tension that settled between them “I see you’ve got a new intern on your team,” Alex said, attempting to break the silence. “What’s he like?” “Oh, yeah, he’s... cool, I guess,” Claire replied dryly in a short and distant tone. Alex frowned at her dry response. “Any problems with him so far? You can tell me.” He pushed even further. “No problem,” she said quickly, brushing off the question. Alex’s grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly. “You don’t talk to me about your day. Why is that? Do you feel uncomfortable with me?” Claire turned to look at him with a mix of frustration and exhaustion on her face. “It’s not that I feel uncomfortable,” she said after a pause. “It’s just that everything I say would probably soun
Billionaire Contract Wife Chapter Thirty Eight
The rest of the week went by in a blur, with Claire and Alex continuing their routine of going to work and returning together without raising any suspicions at the office. Claire's manager didn't make her work life any easier with his constant snarky remarks, often delivered with a smirk that made her blood boil. His passive-aggressive comments about her work ethic and position in the company ate away at her patience daily, but she held her tongue. She didn't want to cause any issues for herself or Alex. The last thing she needed was for him to feel obligated to intervene on her behalf, which could only stir up more drama.It was during one of these tense workdays that the announcement of a new intern was made. Claire was in the middle of proofreading a report when her manager strolled in, barely glancing up from his clipboard."Smith," he said with an indifferent tone."You'll be supervising the new intern. His desk is being set up next to yours."Claire looked up, caught off guard.

Tess was on her way home when her phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number. She hesitated, then answered and she was surprised to hear an older woman’s voice on the other end, asking her to meet at a nearby cafe. The woman claimed she had some information about Claire that Tess "would want to know." Tess wanted to ignore but her curiosity piqued, so she agreed to meet her and made her way over.When she arrived at the cafe, she immediately spotted Mrs. Steele sitting by the window. Tess recognized her instantly, having seen her around the company for years. She walked over cautiously, and Mrs. Steele looked up, her expression cold and direct.“You’re” Mrs Steele said and flashed a smile. She gestured to the seat in front of her “Please have a seat”Tess was totally confused as to what was happening but she took her away slowly with the visible confusion on her face.“Judging from your face, you definitely wasn’t expecting to see me here”“Yes ma’am. I thought I’ve heard the voi

Claire gave a polite bow to Alex. “We’ll continue our conversation later, sir,” she murmured, before quickly stepping out of the elevator.“Why are you on this floor?” Alex asked, turning to Tess, who looked startled.“Uh, yes, I just had some files to drop off for you,” Tess stammered.“You can leave them with my secretary and get back to work,” Alex said curtly.“Yes, sir,” Tess replied, hurrying over to the secretary’s desk to drop the files before scurrying away. Claire turned to follow, but Alex’s voice stopped her in her tracks.“Miss Smith, we’re not done with our conversation.”Claire bit her lip, a hint of irritation crossing her face as she turned to meet his gaze. Alex’s expression was unreadable as he stepped into his office, leaving her no choice but to follow him closely.“What were you thinking?” Claire demanded as she closed the door behind her. “She clearly saw you holding my wrist. And we were together in an elevator only you have access to. Then you went and made it
