Billionaire Contract Wife Chapter Seven
Alexander got into his car immediately and started following the map to her live location that she shared. He made sure to call the police while on his way there in case he didn't make it fast enough.He raced as fast as he could and soon arrived at the end of the map. He followed the directions on his phone, but it stopped, and she wasn't there; it was just her phone on the floor behind a trash can.He heaved a frustrated sigh, worry evident all over his face. He quickly started looking around and soon heard her screams coming from a corner. He raced over there and found Claire.A man had her hair fisted in his hand while the others stood around laughing. She spat on his face, and he raised his hand to slap her when a hard blow landed on his left cheek.Alexander's taekwondo classes, which he took while growing up, had come in handy a few times, but this was definitely one of the times he was grateful he took those classes because he was ready to take on these bastards. He looked ove

The next day arrived, and Claire got ready to meet Charlotte. She knew when Alexander left the house, and he didn’t even bother to check in on her.She was on her way out when she ran into Mrs. Hamptons, who immediately rushed up to her. “Mr. Steele says you’re not to go anywhere today, ma’am.”Claire gave a small smile. “I’m fine, Mrs. Hamptons. I’m just meeting up with a friend at the café nearby.”“If you insist on going out, then I’ll have to go with you,” Mrs. Hamptons replied.“I’ll save you the trouble. I won’t be long at all, and it’s broad daylight. I’ll be fine, I promise.”“If you’re not back in an hour, I’ll call you, and if I can’t get through, I’ll have no choice but to inform Mr. Steele.”“Alright. I’ll take my leave now,” Claire said and left.The café where Claire and Charlotte arranged to meet was near the Steele mansion. She didn’t need to take a taxi, so she strolled over, and when she arrived, Charlotte was already waiting.“Hi Claire,” Charlotte said first as Cla

Claire entered to see them sitting and was surprised as to why they were there. “Is there anything I can help you with?” she asked, raising an eyebrow. “What happened to your pretty face?” Diana rushed up to her and tried to touch her face, but Claire brushed her hand away with a look of disdain. Diana took a step back, looking hurt, and continued, “Claire, don’t be like that. We came to apologize for the other day.” “I don’t remember asking for an apology, so you can leave now,” Claire replied coldly, crossing her arms. “I see Alexander’s rudeness has rubbed off on you because this is no way to treat your husband’s family when we only came to make peace,” Celine chipped in. Claire chuckled, shaking her head. “Make peace? You tried to make me a thief, and now you randomly come in and try to make peace? What a joke. You’d better let me know what you’re here for because I’m sure my husband wouldn’t appreciate your visit.” “If you’re going to be like this, I guess we can get

Claire skipped work for about four more days until her bruises were fully healed. She called in sick, and her manager didn’t even put up a fight. It must have had something to do with Alexander. Breakfast was silent as usual with him this morning as they both sat at the ends of the table, opposite each other. Only the clanks of forks touching plates of toast and bacon could be heard. Claire cleared her throat noisily before she started,“I’m going to work today.” Alexander stopped eating and contemplated for a bit before saying anything, his expression thoughtful. “Stay home one more week,” he finally broke his silence in a firm tone. Claire sighed heavily, her hands clenching into fists. “I’ve been doing nothing but talking to the walls for almost a week now. I can’t do it anymore. I want to go to work.” “You have Mrs. Hamptons to take care of whatever you need, so I don’t understand what your complaint is exactly,” Alexander replied, his eyes narrowing slightly. “I got tha

Alexander and Claire arrived at the office together. His car windows were tinted, so they got into the parking lot easily without anyone seeing them. As soon as he parked, Claire looked around to make sure the coast was clear before she stepped out and tried running into the building without looking back.She had never had to pass through the underground parking lot route before, so she didn’t know you needed special access to use the elevator she got into. She tried pressing the floor she was going to, but access kept getting denied.Frustrated, she stormed back to the car. “The elevator is broken,” she said to Alexander, who was just getting out of the car.“No, it’s not. It’s just not open to anybody.” He replied sharply.“By anybody... are you talking about me?!” she exclaimed, pointing a finger at herself.He said nothing and just passed by her, continuing to walk. He got into the elevator before he said anything. “Are you going to get in, or are you just going to stand there?”S

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,

Alex unfolded the letter with Claire by his side, their shoulders touching as they leaned over the words. His hand tightened slightly on the paper as he read aloud: “I don’t expect forgiveness, nor do I deserve it. What I did, everything I did, was wrong. I’ve spent months reflecting on my actions and the pain I caused both of you. You didn’t deserve any of it. All I can offer now is an apology, but I know words can never undo the harm. Please know I’m truly sorry. —Charles.” A heavy silence settled over them. Claire stared at the letter, her expression unreadable. "What do you think this means?" Alex asked, his voice low, almost hesitant. “After refusing to see me for months” Claire let out a slow breath. "I don’t know. Maybe it’s his way of closing a chapter, or maybe it’s guilt finally catching up to him. Either way, it doesn’t change what he’s done." Alex studied her face for a moment. "Do you think he means it?" She shrugged. "Maybe he does. Maybe it’s just words.

They stood in tense silence, their words still hanging heavy in the air, neither willing to break the stalemate. Finally, Alex scoffed lightly, dragging a hand down his face, breaking the tension between them. “What are we doing?” he muttered, his voice weary. “Yeah,” Claire echoed softly, “what are we doing?” Alex stepped closer, his movements slow, and carefully pulled her into his arms. She didn’t resist, but her arms stayed stiff at her sides. “I know you were scared,” he murmured, his voice thick with regret. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there. I swear to you, it will never happen again.” “You promise?” she whispered, her voice laced with doubt. “Yes,” he said firmly, pulling back just enough to meet her eyes. “I promise. And I’m sorry about what I said earlier about your ex. That wasn’t fair. None of this is your fault.” Claire’s shoulders softened as her anger gave way to exhaustion. Slowly, she leaned into him, her arms wrapping around his waist. Alex exhaled deeply i

The sound of the hospital door opening snapped them both out of their reverie. They sprang to their feet in an instant, their eyes fixed on the doctor who stepped into the room, his expression unreadable. Alex’s heart hammered in his chest as he took a step forward, Claire beside him, her hand gripping his. The doctor looked between them, clearing his throat before speaking. "She's stable now, but we’ll need to monitor her closely. The impact was serious, but we've done everything we can for now." The relief that flooded through Alex was almost overwhelming, but his eyes never left the doctor. "Is she going to be okay? Will she make it through?" The doctor nodded slowly, his gaze softening. "It’s too soon to say for certain, but we’re hopeful. She’s a fighter." Claire let out a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding, and Alex tightened his grip on her hand and that made her realize they were holding hands. She quickly let go of his hand and Alex looked back confused a

Claire wasted no time getting back into her car and driving straight to Alex’s office. It took her a little over thirty minutes to arrive, and she rushed inside without a second thought. When she reached his office, it was empty. Letting out a scream of frustration, she ran her hands through her hair, feeling her composure slipping away. Desperation clawed at her as she fished her phone out of her bag and dialed Vanessa’s number. The line barely rang before Vanessa picked up. “Where is Alex?” Claire demanded without preamble. “Mr. Steele left work right after the meeting concluded about an hour ago,” Vanessa replied calmly. “An hour ago?” Claire repeated. “Yes. Is everything okay?” “He’s not picking his calls. Is there any other way I can reach him?” Vanessa hesitated. “I’ve been trying to pass on some information to him too, but I can’t reach him either. He hasn’t responded to anything.” Claire closed her eyes, frustration boiling over. There was no way to get ahold of h

Claire couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Roy’s mother standing at her doorstep, her face twisted with anger. “What are you doing here?” Claire asked in a sharp voice. “What am I doing here?” Roy’s mother shot back, her tone laced with venom. “My son died because of you. If you hadn’t left him, if only you’d taken him back, he’d still be alive right now!” Claire let out a bitter scoff, folding her arms defensively. “Don’t kid yourself. Your son died because he didn’t know when to back down. That’s not my fault, it was his choice to walk that path.” “You little wench!” Roy’s mother snarled, stepping forward and grabbing the front of Claire’s shirt with trembling hands. “How dare you talk about my son like that?” Claire’s mother became worried as the raised voices reached her. She quickly rose from her seat and began making her way to the door to know what is going on. Claire didn’t flinch under Roy’s mother’s grip. Her voice was low but firm as she asked, “Do you know w

It had been days since the investigation was officially launched, and tension had only grown thicker. The turning point came when an anonymous source submitted damning evidence to the authorities, call logs, text messages, and voicemails between Charlotte and Roy. The material was meticulous, exposing every detail of their plan: from luring Alex to the restaurant to orchestrating the photo and even identifying the person who had taken it. The board had convened once again to address the new developments. Alex walked into the office that morning, accompanied by Claire. She had insisted on coming, though she knew she wouldn’t be allowed into the conference room. Instead, she lingered outside, her nerves fraying as she waited for the meeting to begin. As she paced the hallway, she felt the air shift. When she looked up, Charlotte was walking toward her with her usual confident stride, though her face betrayed the slightest hint of stress. “I see you’re still with him, even after

Alex brought out his phone and placed it on the table before hitting the play button on the recording. The room fell silent as Alex’s voice filled the air, followed by Charlotte’s damning words. Gasps erupted from the board members, their shock evident as they exchanged wide-eyed glances. Charles, visibly flustered, slammed his hand on the table. “This is a desperate attempt to save yourself, Alex! That recording is fake, fabricated to sabotage me because you’re losing your place in the company!” Alex smirked, taking a deliberate step forward, his confidence radiating. “Oh, is that what you think I’m doing, Charles?” He leaned on the table, locking eyes with him. “Funny, because Charlotte would’ve thrown you under the bus if I had reconsidered her little offer.” With a tap on his phone, Alex resumed the recording, letting the incriminating part play. “I might just reconsider if you rethink your decision and choose me instead. We can turn our scandal into a love story.” T

The next day, Claire woke up earlier than usual, determined to make breakfast for Alex. She served him a plate of eggs and toast, but he barely touched it, eating absently while his mind wandered to the impending board meeting. “I could come with you, you know,” Claire offered hesitantly, watching him down the last sip of his coffee. He gave her a soft smile and shook his head. “I appreciate it, but it’s better if you stay here. I’ll handle it.” Claire didn’t press further, though she hated the thought of him facing everything alone. At the office, Alex walked through the building, catching the curious glances of employees who were clearly aware of the ongoing scandal. He ignored them, his focus set on the day ahead. Once in his office, he placed his phone on the desk and called Claire, her voice the only thing that could steady his nerves. “I’m already in,” he told her. “I’ll update you after the meeting.” “Just breathe, Alex. You’ll get through this,” Claire sai

Charles leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smirk on his face as the board members nodded one after the other, each voicing their agreement. The private meeting had gone exactly as he’d planned. The chaos surrounding Alex’s personal life had provided the perfect opportunity to strike, and now the board was on his side. “It’s settled then,” Charles said, his voice calm but laced with triumph. “We’ll convene tomorrow to finalize the motion. The longer we wait, the more damage this scandal will cause.” One of the senior board members cleared his throat. “We’re only doing this for the sake of the company. Alex has been a good CEO, but we can’t afford to let sentimentality ruin us.” “Exactly,” Charles replied smoothly. “This is about protecting the company and its future. Nothing personal.” After the meeting, Charles stepped out of the conference room, where Charlotte was waiting for him in the hallway. She was leaning casually against the wall, a satisfied gleam in her eyes.
