Bound By Fate: The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter Seven: Home
As the sleek black car pulled up to the sprawling Sinclair estate, Aria stared in awe at the grandiose mansion that loomed before her. It wasn’t her first time seeing the Sinclair home, but now, as she stepped out of the car with her new title as Mrs. Sinclair, it felt entirely different. She had entered into this contract thinking she would be able to keep her distance, to play her part while remaining emotionally detached. But the weight of her new role pressed down on her with each passing second.Alexander exited the car first, his tall frame exuding his usual cool confidence, but he paused to help his grandmother out of the backseat. Aria followed, feeling somewhat out of place in her simple dress among the luxury that surrounded her.The moment Grandma’s feet touched the driveway, she reached out, clasping Aria’s hands in her own. Her warm, wrinkled fingers squeezed gently as she smiled up at her. “Welcome home, Aria,” Grandma said, her eyes shining with affection. “This is your

Aria hummed softly to herself as she scrubbed the ground in the front yard, a task she had taken upon herself to please Grandma. Her mind wandered to thoughts of impressing Mr. Sinclair. "Maybe if I show how hardworking I am, he'll be pleased and might even consider raising my salary," she mused, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. The joy of potentially making things better for herself was evident in the way she moved, her steps light, and her energy boundless. She was so absorbed in her task and thoughts that she didn’t notice the figure standing a few feet away, watching her with smoldering anger.Jessica had arrived at the Sinclair estate in a fury. After receiving the call from the housekeeper, her chest had been tight with rage and disbelief. She couldn’t fathom how Alexander—"her" Alexander—could possibly marry another woman without her knowledge. Jessica, the daughter of the prestigious David family, had grown up believing she was the only suitable match for Alex

Her heart raced with excitement as she watched them, and without a second thought, she rushed over to Alexander, her hands reaching out to touch his arm. “Alexander!” she exclaimed, a bright smile lighting up her face. “When did you get cured? How are you suddenly able to—”The moment her hand made contact with him, it was as though something snapped. Alexander recoiled, his body stiffening as his breathing quickened. The familiar, overwhelming sensation of panic surged through him, and his hands shot up to his temples, his eyes tightly shut as he struggled to breathe.Jessica’s smile faded instantly, replaced by a look of horror. “Oh no... you’re not cured...” she whispered, stepping back in disbelief as Alexander’s chest heaved with the effort to regain control. The sight of him brought back the harsh reality—he wasn’t cured. He hadn’t gotten over his fear.Panicked, Jessica turned and bolted from the yard, her voice shaking as she called out, “I’ll get help! Don’t worry, Alexander!

Alexander’s doctor, Dr. Hensley, had spent years trying to understand and cure Alexander’s gynophobia, but despite his best efforts, nothing seemed to work. Until now. News of Alexander’s recent relapse, followed by a miraculous recovery without his usual medication, intrigued Dr. Hensley. He couldn’t shake the curiosity that had been gnawing at him since he heard about it. How could Alexander’s condition improve so suddenly? Was it a fluke? Or was there something more? Driven by his relentless pursuit of answers, Dr. Hensley decided to meet with Alexander."Alexander, I'd like you to bring Aria in for a blood test," Dr. Hensley suggested during their call. "I think her presence might have something to do with your recovery, and I want to run a few tests to confirm."Alexander was hesitant. He didn't want to put Aria through any unnecessary medical procedures, but Dr. Hensley assured him it would be quick and harmless, just a simple blood sample. After mulling it over, Alexander reluc

Jessica’s plan had been simmering for days, and today, she was finally ready to put it into motion. She arrived at the Sinclair mansion with a confident stride, her mind set on her mission. Aria had been gaining Alexander’s attention for too long, and Jessica had no intention of letting her keep it. If she couldn’t win Alexander’s heart with her beauty charm, she’d resort to more nefarious means.As she entered the kitchen, she noticed it was empty, except for the pot of soup simmering on the stove.Jessica’s lips twisted into a sneer. “Let’s see how perfect you are after this, Aria,” she whispered under her breath.With a quick glance around to ensure no one was watching, Jessica opened the lid of the soup. She pulled a small container from her purse and sprinkled a fine layer of nut powder into the soup, knowing full well that grandma was highly allergic to nuts. Her lips curled into a satisfied grin as she stirred the soup, ensuring the powder dissolved completely."Oops. Grandma’s

The drive to the hospital was tense, filled with silence and worry. When they arrived, the doctors rushed grandma into the emergency room. Alexander paced anxiously in the waiting room, his mind racing. Jessica sat nearby, her hands clasped together, but inside she was reveling in the chaos she had caused.At the hospital, the silence was suffocating. Aria sat on the edge of a plastic chair, her fingers tightly wound around the hem of her shirt, replaying the events over and over. Alexander stood at a distance, his arms crossed, his jaw set in stone. He hadn’t said a word since they arrived, the tension between them thick and unspoken.After what felt like an eternity, the doctor finally emerged, pulling down his mask. “She’s stable now. You got her here just in time,”A few more minutes, and we might have lost her. She had a severe allergic reaction, but she’s stable now.” he said, offering Alexander a small nod. “But you need to be more careful in the future. Her body is weak, and an

Aria wandered around the hospital premises, trying to clear her mind from the suffocating tension between her and Alexander. His gaze, filled with so much doubt earlier, still weighed heavily on her. She needed space, fresh air—anything to breathe a little easier. But just as she rounded a corner, she froze, her heart dropping at the sight of someone she least expected to see."Ethan?" she said in disbelief, her voice tight. He stood in her path, his lips curling into a smirk that made her skin crawl."Aria," Ethan drawled, stepping forward. "Long time, no see."Her heart raced with frustration. "Why are you stalking me again?" she demanded, crossing her arms defensively. "I’ve told you before, I have nothing to say to you. Leave me alone."Ethan chuckled, but there was no warmth in his eyes. "Stalking? Come on, don’t be so dramatic. I’m just here for what’s mine.""I don’t owe you anything," Aria snapped, turning to leave. But before she could take more than a few steps, Ethan’s hand

Something felt off, and I couldn’t shake the suspicion gnawing at my gut.I knew I was missing something, and I hated that feeling.As I made my way to the courtyard, A raised voice broke through my train of thought making my steps falter.Aria.Her voice carried a strain of irritation, sharp enough to pierce through the typical hospital noise.

Anderson and Jessica rushed Janet to the hospital, Anderson, frantic as he called nurses, doctors and interns to the aid of his wife. “Mom, what’s wrong? Are you having a heart attack?” Jessica asked, even as the nurses got her in a bed and rushed her into a hospital room. “I want my daughter with me..” Janet said, with a fake pain in her voice. Jessica went into the room with her. Watching as they placed an oxygen mask on her face to help her breathe better, she gripped her mother’s hands genuinely scared about what may be happening. “Mom, you’re gonna be okay… the doctors will make sure everything’s fine. They’ll do their jobs.” Janet squeezed her hand tightly but Jessica didn’t understand what was happening. As soon as the doctors plugged her into the machine, they realized that her vitals were stable. Medically, there was nothing wrong with her. They asked to take blood to run some tests. As soon as the last nurse was out the door, Janet took off the oxygen mask from her face

On the drive to Jessica’s family home, Lucas knew he would have to make sure that nothing like that happened again. He was going to put a stationed guard with Alexander at all times to keep Jessica and any females away. He couldn’t believe they were back to this time, when people were always triggering Alexander’s phobia. He also wondered what exactly Alexander had in mind for Jessica. “Young Master, if I may ask, why exactly are we going to Miss Jessica’s residence? I could just call the police and she’ll be arrested.” Lucas said. “No. Jessica is foolish, impulsive and everything wrong but they aren’t like the average family. Her father is also wealthy and they probably have their own assets to protect. I do not wish to cause any damage to her family’s image, at least for old times sake. We will use this to our advantage.” Alexander said. “If you say so, Young Master.” Lucas replied. ***Aria went back into the house to find Grandma, she found her at her reading spot. “Grandma,

Grandma couldn’t help herself, she had to ask. “What exactly happened? Who did this to my grandson?” Grandma panicked. Lucas knew that Grandma’s state would only add more worry to Alexander so he decided to take her out of the room leaving Aria and Alexander together on the couch. “Grandma Sinclair, I think we should let them have some space. Young Master Alexander will get better soon and then you can have a conversation with him.” Lucas said as he guided a visibly worried Grandma out of the living room. “Alex, what happened to you?” Aria asked, slowly rubbing his back.Alexander wasn’t yet himself, the allergy was one thing but also he was still feeling the effects of the drugs that had been in the juice he had drank. He couldn’t explain it yet but he knew as soon as he felt better. He would make sure to get to the bottom of this whole thing. ***Jessica immediately got home and called her mother, she almost dragged her into her room. She needed to explain what she had done and

Alexander had a meet up with his team to perfect the pitch for the meeting. By the time they were done, it was a bit late already. All he wanted to do was go to bed, he’d need to be up early as well. He got to the room and saw a complimentary bottle of orange juice. “Oh no alcohol this time. This is better, a cup might help with my fatigue.” Alexander thought. So he poured himself a glass and sat down to scroll through his phone. He hadn’t checked his messages during the meeting, he wondered if he had gotten any from Aria. Sure as night and day, there was a message wishing him a great meeting and to come home cafe… cafe? That can’t be right. “Why are the letters jumbling around?” Alexander asked himself. He felt queasy and weak, he needed sleep. This was probably due to his lack of adequate rest. He stood up to go to the bed, but he could smell a familiar scent. Was Aria here?? His vision got blurry and he felt soft hands touching him and that familiar scent except it wasn’t as str

“Sir, we have a meeting with the executives at Brightford Holdings tomorrow afternoon. The team is already at the hotel waiting, do I reschedule or are we still going?” Lucas stared at his boss Alexander who was still angry about the Jessica situation. “We’re definitely still going. Jessica doesn’t count as an emergency,” he said nursing his glass of whiskey. “I’ll get my bag. We should be out in thirty minutes.” Alexander said. He left Lucas and went up the stairs to the bedroom. Aria had been pacing, as he opened the door. She was a bit startled. “Is anything the matter? Why are you looking stressed? I couldn’t help but sneak a peek at what was happening downstairs.” Aria said. “Oh, it’s just Jessica’s parents trying to cause a scene. I want to truly apologize for everything that has happened. It turns out Jessica was the one that put nut powder in Grandma’s soup and also did a lot more but I promise I’ll trust you more although I suspected you were innocent but I just couldn’t

“Hello, my name is Jordan Smith, I am a journalist and I want to hire your services for the case of an Ethan Hawke currently in custody for an attempted kidnap and murder” Dr. Hensley said. He had devised the perfect plan, he would anonymously pay for representation for Ethan and when he was out, they would move on with the second phase of his plan. He had chosen one of the top lawyers in the city, no fee was too much for him to pay just to get his hands on what he needed. Dr. Hensley thought about what he stood to gain if his research was successful…“Okay, would you like to meet up to discuss the case of your – you didn’t mention who he was to you.” The lawyer’s assistant said. “Oh I’d prefer to be anonymous, I just want his case to be dismissed and he can be set free. I think he’s just being oppressed but that doesn’t matter. I’d like to make payments for his representation no matter the amount. Just make sure he gets out.” Dr. Hensley said. “That won’t be a problem sir, I’ll se

On the trip back to the house. Janet couldn’t help but wonder how exactly Alina survived that fire. Janet couldn’t dare ask the questions she needed answers to in the car while her husband was there, she would speak with Jessica soon. By the time they drove into the house, Jessica went in first leaving her parents to talk. “That boy doesn’t know who I am, does he? Treating my precious daughter as though she’s a common criminal. He’s lucky we already think of him as our future son in law, if not… he’d have heard from my lawyers.” Anderson towered as he walked into his house. “Honey, I think we should just take things easy. I mean there’s no need to worry much. He’s probably learnt not to do something like that again and…”Anderson interrupted. “Oh did you see how he was looking at us when we were leaving. That boy hasn’t learnt a thing. I have a mind to go there tomorrow.” Anderson continued, sitting down on his sofa. Janet immediately felt pangs of fear run down her spine. “No… h

The kiss spoke words they couldn’t say, Alexander cupped her cheek gently, his thumb slowly brushed against her skin sending shockwaves through her body. His touch was warm, steady and as he leaned down kissing her she felt warm everywhere. His hands slid down to the back of her neck to pull her closer and deepen the kiss. Aria felt her heart racing dangerously, her body was responding to Alexander’s touch, her hands found their way to his chest as though that was exactly where they were meant to be. She could feel the firm muscles beneath his shirt, the heat from his body could be felt through the fabric. As their kiss deepened, Alexander wrapped his arms around her pulling her so close she felt like they would melt into one person. “Aria,” he whispered as they both came up for air. His voice was laced with desire, their foreheads pressing gently together. Her fingers slid up his chest, they brushed cautiously against the buttons of his shirt. She hesitated but a nod of approval

“I feel strange, really strange… Alex, what are you doing to me? What was in that pill?” Jessica asked, her voice trembling, barely masking her rising panic.Her body was betraying her—a flush crept up her face, and a strange, unwelcome heat began building. Her muscles tightened in ways she hadn’t anticipated, and certainly not in this situation. Could it be? Was she really feeling what she thought she was?Alexander leaned against the desk, a smirk playing on his lips. “By now, I'm sure your body is telling you a few secrets, isn't it? His voice was as cold as it's mocking. “Since you're so intent on making my life miserable, I thought I'd return the favor. Meet your company for the evening.”At his nod, Lucas opened the door, ushering in five hulking men. They stepped in, their imposing figures filling the room with an air of danger.
