CONTRACT WIFE, Paid To Be His Baby's Mama. Chapter 16
Lucas’s POV“What did you just say to me?” I growled, with my hands slowly rolling into a fist as I stared at him. Wanting to be sure I’d heard him correctly.“You heard me Lucas,” Fernando snapped back.“I mean what would even cost in having those papers signed, making this project in particular a success,” He added. A smirk tugged at his lips as he stared back at me.“Fernando. Do you think it all works out that way? It simply reeks of desperation. A man should know when to stand down,” I shot at him.He smirks, his lips curved with an arrogant tilt. “Desperation?” He snorts. I take a step closer, lowering my voice to a dangerous growl. “You heard me,” His expression hardens, “We’ll see about that then,” He glances down the hall with a cocky grin.I grit my teeth glaring at him. I mirrored his arrogance and whispered into his face. “Don’t let it get to your head,”

Chloe’s POVIt took a moment for me to register exactly who was in front of me. The dark, artfully styled hair. The stubble shading his chin and chiseled jaw. Surprisingly this time he had on a tortoise shell glass that framed his face perfectly. But it was those eyes—-ones that for some reason made my heart trip and pick up its pace as I immediately recognized his sharp, angular features. Saying he was gorgeous was the understatement of the century.“I didn't see you there,” I said.His hands came around me immediately, it was pretty dark, and how I knew he was the one, was beyond me. It must have something to do with his scent. It was the most heady thing I had ever perceived, in a long time and I couldn't help taking a deep breath whenever he was around.I felt the change in him the moment I saw him. The look on his face was different. Though he was still incredibly handsome

Lucas’s POVA stinging ache at the center of my forehead precedes the movement of my eyelids. Showing the first glimpse of a blurry ceiling over me.I realized I was no longer in the hallways like I’d pictured from the night before. I remember throwing myself before…Fuck, Chloe!!…The ruffling of the soft sheets makes a crinkling sound as I open my eyes fully. The surprisingly sweet scent of this perfect girl overwhelmed me as I breathed her in. I could never put my finger on exactly what it was but it somehow felt soothing in my head as it wafted over me. I ran my hands down the back of her sweater as she lay peacefully in my arms. Her eyes shut closed.My eyes trailed down her delicate throat where the heart-shaped pendant, I’d gotten her was settled between her collarbones. A pulse point beating fast, then down her generous tits which were nearly spilling out from the dress she had on. I coul

Lucas’s POV“I'm Alexander Smith,” The man said with an obvious fake smile creased on his face as he approached my desk.I had an eyebrow raised staring back at him, without responding. My eyes trailed off to the file he had in one hand and the other he had shoved into the pockets of his pants.“Can I?” He added as he gestured to the chair in front of me. But then the look I gave him, made it quite clear that he was interrupting the thoughts in my head.“What brings you here Mr…” I said.“Alexander!” He cuts in, grinning at me.“Smith,” I responded, and then averted my eyes like I’d gotten disgusted over his response.“Such lovely day isn’t it?” Alexander said. Breaking the silence between us as I had my eyes glued to the screen of my laptop.“Proceed,” I said, gesturing to the file he was holding. Knowing he’d come for business and not for some silly chit chat.“Such successful thin

Chloe’s POV“I said get the fuck out of my house, you’re leaving!” My father's familiar voice echoed in my head as I tossed restlessly in bed trying to get some sleep. “Please, Dad!” My responses from the night it had all happened resurfaced in my mind. I clenched my fists to my sides feeling overly tortured by the disturbing images of what had happened on that night.Being a child, growing up in a stable home in the suburbs of Charlotte, North Carolina. I never really done anything on my own and while I had a decent high school experience. I was ready to get away from everyone I’ve known all my life. Which was the exact reason I had ended up at the popular UNC college.My fingers clamped around my dress, as I tightened my eyes shut trying to hold back the urge of those memories flooding through my head.“Come here, I said you're leaving and don't you dare…” His voice reechoed over and over again in my head.

She etched closer to him in my arms, and then she had a torch shun into his mouth and began her examination.Right after that, they had his vital signs checked, and in a couple of minutes it was all a wrap. I stayed in the hospital ward bed, with Flynn still curled up in my arms as I rocked and hummed him a tone trying to put him to sleep.I ran my hands down his sweater, and then gave him a soft peck on the forehead just when he had his eyes shut.‘He’s so cute,’ I thought to myself as I sat silently watching him sleep.The room door cracked opened, I gesture for the person coming to keep it down, When Flynn stop fussy, I lift my eyes up to see who had come in and found Lucas staring back at me.

Chloe’s POVThe soft, warm glow of the afternoon sun streamed through the parted curtains of the window, casting an orange light over the quiet room.I sat down by Flynn’s side, adjusting his blanket and making sure he was comfortable. Every day was a routine of showing care and giving my attention to Fynn, and that was exactly how I liked it because it gave me a sense of purpose that I can't quite explain.Aside from that, it also gave me something to focus on. But lately have been getting too distracted with something that has been creeping into my mind that shouldn't be a subject in the first place, something that I was determined to ignore and that was my feelings for Lucas.I shook my head refusing the thoughts that were trying to find their way back to my head. I couldn't afford to be distracted by anything not relating to my job description, not now.Flynn needed me. He had always needed me, tha

Chloe’s POVFlynn’s laughter filled the quiet room, breaking through the walls I’d ride to build around myself. I watched from a distance as I rested myself on the frame of the kitchen door as Lucas played with him on the floor.With each day that draws by, he seems more alive, more connected, and more curious about the world around him.He was babbling endlessly with spit bubbles forming at the corner of his lips, reaching out to grab things within his reach like Lucas's hair. The once fragile body was now waxing stronger, it was a heartwarming sight to always behold.It was indeed such a beautiful thing to see, but I'm supposed to be taking a step back and immersing myself deeply in the moments so I don't get too attached. Getting too attached to him would make my feelings grow more for Lucas, and I was trying to curb that.I heaved out heavily, playing with the tips of my hair. As much as I tried to pull away,

Chloe’s POVA glance at my watch tells me, I only have thirty minutes left until Monica comes yelling from the front door of Lucas’s mansion. Asking that I go with her to the party.Which also happens to mark the beginning of the weekend as well. “Fuck!” I grumbled, staring at the clock.My phone chimed, bringing me out of my momentary daze and I scrambled around in my purse trying to find it. The minute my hands landed on the device I had it picked up almost instantly. Staring at the screen of my phone, I realized she was the one calling. Monica…“For Christ's sake Monica, do I have to go with you?” I yelled the very minute I had the call picked up. “I’m just going to get into trouble with Lucas and me arguing over some dumb college party,” I added. Just when I did, there was a pause. And then came her voice.“Are you insane?!” She yelled.“I mean, girl!” Monic

Chloe’s POVThe continuous buzzing of my phone in my purse snapped me back reality. Realized how far gone in my thoughts I’d been a couple of minutes ago.I reached for my purse almost instantly as I had it picked, came Monica’s voice from the other end of the call.“It's almost as if you've forgotten me,” She said. I could already tell from the sound of her voice that she was pissed.With all that had been happening these past few weeks, I’d barely had the time for a quick girl’s chat and our usual hangout, and that had gotten her upset.“I'm Sorry Monica, you know how parenting can be,” I responded, but then she went mute almost instantly as if trying to understand better what I meant.“Parenting?” She cuts in, finally breaking the silence between us.“Still, I'm mad at you,” Monica said.“I know, I'm sorry,” I responded.“You're going to have to make up for that still

Chloe’s POV“Dad no!” I yelled, and jolt up to a sitting position. With one hand clamped to my chest as I panted for air. My eyes darted around to find that I’d been in my bedroom all along, and was having those usual nightmares of my father from the past.The soft knock on the door distracted me from the thoughts in my head. I walked lazily to the door to have it opened. The very minute I did, Flynn surprisingly on the other side of the door pulled me in for a hug with a smile across his face.“Hi Mom,” His tiny innocent voice filled the void in my head, I leaned closer pulling him for a tight hug as well.“Hey baby,” I responded, shocked at how he’d gotten to this house.“Good morning Ms. Chloe,” Aurora, Flynn’s personal help from the other mansion greeted. “Morning Aurora,” I responded, with a smile creased on my face as I waved back at her.“Breakfast is ready,” She added.“M

Chloe’s POVThe unease in my stomach swirled faster as realization dawned, slow and horrified, across my face. Seeing that Lucas was standing right behind me.“L—Lucas,” I stuttered trying to figure out how on earth he’d been able to track us down to the restaurant. And even for the fact that he’d ignored all the paparazzi right outside the hotel and had chosen to walk in.“We’re leaving now!” He cuts in.A pang hit my chest, at his direct order. But all I could do was just to stay frozen on a spot not knowing what else to say or do.“What makes you think, you can just come in here and have our wonderful dinner interrupted?” Alexander said.“Plus we just got started, am I right,” He added and this time placed a hand over my wrist as he met my eyes with a sardonic smile. A storm of emotions clouded Alex’s eyes, and I resisted the urge to pull my hand off the table into my lap. Instead, I had my eyes glued to the meal in front of me knowing there was bound to be a show and even worse,

Chloe’s POVI reached for my closet, my eyes locked on the one exact blue floral dress I hadn't worn in a long while. Knowing that was perfect for a date with Alexander.I twirled right in front of the mirror admiring the fine lines of the dress when my phone buzzed repeatedly by my bed.I hurried over to my bed and picked up almost immediately and just then, an unfamiliar voice came through from the other end of the call.“I’ll pick you up by 10 pm, is that cool?” The masculine voice asked.I could already tell who it was. Alexander.“Yes, sure!” I responded, smiling sheepishly.I walked over to the full-length mirror in my bedroom and admired the dress once again. I loved how it hugged me in all the right places and the light blue floral dress complimented my tan skin tone. I had my hair placed in a neat low bun with two parted strands framing my face. While I quickly did a simple make-up, and extra l

Chloe’s POV“Thirty minutes”That was all it took for Lucas to have my mood spoiled without hesitation. The repeated buzzing of my phone in my purse snapped me out of the little random thought in my head. “Where are you?” Lucas bass voice hit my ear just as I answer the phone.“Are you okay?” Lucas surprisingly sounded panicked from the other end of the call. But what I couldn't understand was why he sounded utterly bothered over nothing."Yes?" I answered unsurely.“I heard there's been an accident on your route, I'm calling to be sure you're okay,” He hurriedly said.I paused with my jaws dropped slightly, staring into the wall in front of me. Trying to figure out how the hell that had anything to do with me. Remembering I’d indeed seen a car surrounded by onlookers I wondered what it was that had happened then. So there had been an accident…“So I heard too,” I respo

Lucas’s POV“Chloe!” I hisses, staring at her with a definite scowl on my face. I fucking hated it and I fucking hated her stubbornness. The innocent look she gave me whenever I look at her always seem to make my heart melt. I was so familiar with the forceful circumstances that joined Alexander's Union and ours together and I was beyond mad, pissed even.I hated how it was that she just accepted it with shrug and indifference, not knowing who and what she's getting herself into. And it boiled my nerves, I etched closer to her, pulling her by the wrist in such a way that she stood directly in front of me. Her body was mere an inch away from mine, I can feel the heat and softness of her body from here.“I can’t let you go out with him!” I growled, with my eyes locked directly on hers as I glared at her. For some damn reason, she looked away unable to hold my gaze. As it felt as though she was

Chloe’s POVIt has been more than two days now, and I haven’t been able to shake off the events that played out the previous days. The revelation I saw about who the Lucas family truly is, the mess my brother got himself into and Lucas willingly stepping in to save the day.They all weighed heavily on my mind, and no matter the activities I tried engaging myself in to escape from my thoughts, it just wouldn't work. I kept thinking about how Lucas's father had built his empire on crimes, and how Lucas might also have a role in all of it.I couldn't bring myself to reconcile the Lucas I was still getting to know with the version of him the revelation had started making me paint out.Seeing that engaging myself in a lot of chores and activities wasn't helping out, I thought about sitting and resting it out, but that wouldn't be an option for today as the day was going to be quite a busy one.I would be he

Chloe’s POVIt was a quiet morning, the kind of calm that settled into every corner of the house because everyone had yet to get up from bed and get their day started. Flynn was still very much asleep and I went on with carrying out my usual daily routine of tidying up before the day truly began when Flynn woke up.I moved around the house, picking up stray toys Flynn had played with the previous day, fluffing pillows thrown around, and then going on to wiping down the surfaces.This was the best part of the day for me because I got to have my quiet moment which was soothing and also a distraction from the confusing emotions swirling inside of me.As I made my way through the house, my thoughts drifted to Lucas which wasn't in any way surprising as I thought of him at the slightest moment. Despite my effort to keep him off my mind, I couldn't bring myself to deny that he was slowly becoming more than someone I worked for. But I w
