CONTRACTED TO MY BILLIONAIRE PLAYBOY BOSS CHAPTER SIXTY
Alexia's POV I missed cooking with the guys. The atmosphere in the kitchen as we cooked was so relaxing and free. It brings back memories of how we used to do this often before I got married to Ethan. I thought with a sigh. With our combined efforts, Austin and I were done with the cooking in record time, while Aiden assisted with doing the dishes. The fun part of it was how I could freely speak about work and what I have been up to since the last time I came around, without fear of judgment. reminiscing on the old days and the easy banter between us. They shared certain funny experiences they've had since I left and find myself laughing harder than I have since getting married. I wish I could just move back in with my brothers, I miss the homely atmosphere, unlike the mansion, where there is luxury but the atmosphere feels cold and rigid. I'm not certain I have even heard laughter echoing off the walls of that mansion. I wonder how Ethan felt growing up in that house. I knew Eth

Ethan's POV I have to admit Alexia’s house is nothing like the mansion I grew up in. I thought as her brother led me to the dining room. The first thing I noticed is the size of their house. The entire apartment could fit into one of the halls at the mansion Mom seldom uses to entertain her bunch of gossiping friends whenever they visit.However whatever the apartment lacked I'm size, it more than made up for in warmth and coziness. The place smells so good and feels like a home, unlike the cold and sterile feel the mansion exudes. Now I understand why Alexia often feels uncomfortable at the mansion. If I grew up in a home like this filled with love and warmth, I probably would not also be confused with the mansion “Have a seat” one of Alexia's Brothers , the one who walked me in said, pointing to one of the seats in the dining room. I don't know if he is Aiden or Austin. Alexia’s brothers are identical twins. Outside, meeting them during the wedding and seeing them temporarily duri

Ethan's POV “This food is super delicious. It's one of the best I have eaten in a while and that's saying a lot, because I have eaten some really good food” I said to Alexia when I finally placed my spoon back on the silverware. I watched her blush scarlet from the compliment. “I can't take all the praise, Austin did most of the work” she said pointing to the brother that brought in the dishes earlier. Hmmm so he is Austin. If not for the different shirts they are both wearing there would have been no way to physically distinguish one of the twins from the other.“Oh wow! In that case, I have to admit you do an awesome job with this meal. I'm truly impressed. Thank you for the delicious meal, Austin, I enjoyed the meal ” I said, turning my gaze to Aiden with a look I hope he sees as sincere. “I wasn't trying to impress you” he answered grumpily, not taking his eyes from his plate. Alexia shoots me an apologetic look. I wave off her concern, quite confident I could handle two teenag

Alexia’s POV Believe me, I love my brothers very much, but sometimes, like now, I feel like strangling them, because what in the world did Austin mean by them waiting for the right time to tell me they already have two offers of admission.“What are the two schools that have sent you letters and what are they offering?” I enquired trying to rein in my temper.“Dartmouth College and Columbia Hills” Aiden responded. Dartmouth college, wow! They have one of the best Law colleges in the entire state. I was amazed that they both got offers from them. Those who usually get to attend that school are those whose parents are influential or those in prominent positions. The creme de la creme in the State.“That is absolutely beautiful!. Why aren't you guys excited?” I noticed their forlorn expression.“Yeah Dartmouth is amazing, Ryan and I graduated from there” Ethan interjected, thereby lending credence to my earlier assertion that only the rich attended that college, except for those who pri

Alexia’s POV The next morning I woke up to do my daily routine. I noticed the side of the bed Ethan usually sleeps on is still warm. It must not be too long ago, he left. I thought. As I rise up from the bed to go to the bathroom to freshen up, a bunch of beautiful roses placed on the small stool beside our bed, catches my attention.I stop to pick them up and bring them to my noses, inhaling their sweet scent. I'm wondering how Ethan managed to get this delivered when it's not even 7:00 am yet, when spot a small handwritten note on the stool. I picked up the note to see what was written on it. I can't help the smile stretching across my face, as I read the note. It reads; “Dear wife(he added a smiling emoji)Roses are beautiful, but they pale in comparison to your beauty. Just as a rose unfurls its petals to reveal its full beauty, so do you reveal the depths of your soul with every glance and smile.Every moment spent in your presence resonates with so much peace and happiness.

Ethan's POV My meeting with the MacPherson group isn't going as planned. I thought as I stared at the delegates sent to discuss what was supposed to be the final stage of discussion before both parties sign the contract.“Mr. Blackwoods, in as much as you have done a fantastic job in trying to convince us to pick your company for this project, we however have certain reservations about the capacity of Blackwoods to handle a contract such as this” MacPherson jnr said.I leaned back in my chair trying to put up a calm facade as I stared at the three delegates sitting across me. “Mr. MacPherson, I assure you that you have nothing to fear about our company’s capabilities, our results and achievements speak for itself”MacPherson jnr who I guess is the leading the trio, since he has been the only one talking amongst them since the meeting started, looks unconvinced by my assertion.“Well, permit me to be frank with you, this is from one business man to another, so don't take it the wrong

Ethan's POV As soon as the call with Lukas ended, I let out a scream loud enough to alert everyone within ten feet of my office as I hauled my phone at the wall in frustration. The phone bounced off the wall and scattered to pieces. I stood up as I paced around my office, feeling like a caged animal.I have never felt as powerless as I feel at the moment. I can feel whatever little control I thought I had, slip away chip by chip. I consider picking up the phone and calling Lukas back to inform him I am not willing to go through with his stupid proposal anymore, when my office door suddenly flies open. I turned from the window I was gazing through, to see a frazzled and worried looking Alexia, panting and wide eyed as she scans my office for any kind of danger. Her gaze paused on the broken phone beside the wall, before turning her gaze to me as her eyes scanned my body for any visible injuries. When she doesn't find any injuries or danger she turns a confused gaze at me.“Ethan, wha

Alexia’s POV I walked out of Ethan's office feeling like I was just doused with a bucket of cold water. As the reality of Ethan's betrayal dawned on me. I grab my handkerchief to wipe the tears still streaming down my face, unfortunately, the more I wiped the tears, the more the tears keep flowing. How does one go from giving me flowers and a sweet note to auctioning me for a contract that same morning?I couldn't believe he would do this to me. I couldn't find the strength to go sit on my chair, too shaken to even consider going back to the work I was attending to before I ran into his office to check on him. I shouldn't have bothered. I thought with regretI am not in the right frame of mind to continue with work today. I need to talk to someone before I lose my mind. I thought as I go to my desk to pick up my bag as I searched for my phone, planning to call Bridget my best friend. I am just about to dial her number when I see Ethan storming out of the office as he heads to the el

Alexia’s POV “I don't want the pink dress. I want to put on the blue dress.” Amy pouted, shifting away from the pink dress like she found it offensive. My little girl looks beautiful with her red hair, Ethan's blue eyes, and a face so perfect “The pink dress is better and it brings out your eyes.” I tried reasoning with my 2-year-old daughter.Today is Allen and Amy's 2 years birthday and Ethan and I are throwing a party for them.The others will soon be here and Amy is still delaying us further.“No mummy. Blue is better because it's the color of my daddy's eyes. I rolled my eyes at her, not surprised by her response. Everything is always about Ethan, to say that my little girl and Ethan are close would be putting it mildly. I have been having this dress argument with her for the past 10 minutes and I'm about to insist she puts on the dress when Ethan walks into Amy's room.“Daddy!” Amy squealed excitedly as she ran at Ethan. I smiled ruefully as I watched Ethan pick up Amy and th

Ethan's POV “Look at my handsome grandson. Isn't he the cutest baby ever?” Mom cooed as she bent over our baby boy sleeping peacefully in his crib. A small smile played on my lips. I haven't seen her this excited in a very long time.“Yeah, he certainly is.” Dad, who is also standing behind her, agreed. “If only that dumb skull over there would allow us to see our granddaughter!” He added drily, shooting a furious glare at me. “I am not letting anyone near my princess, just yet. She needs to spend quality time with her daddy.” I repeated for the hundredth time today, scowling at my Dad and Mom. Just before they could retort, the door to our hospital room was pushed open and Nathan, Ryan, Stacey, and Grace walked into the room.“Great, the entire crew is here!” I grumbled surly. Amelia shoots me a dark look.“Ethan, be nice! They are here to celebrate with us and see the newest members of the family.” I shrugged. I know I was being an ass but can anyone blame me for wanting some alon

Alexia POV. “Come on Alexia, just one more push.” my doctor said for what must be the 20th time. “That’s what you said the last twenty times.” I groaned, glaring at the doctor. I know she is just doing her job but I can't help but feel frustrated. I have been in labor for the past thirty minutes and I still haven't pushed out a baby. I can feel my body tiring and the pain is like nothing I have ever felt before. “Darling just one more! I know you can do it.” Ethan who has been beside me this whole time said, still holding my hand. He looks just as frazzled as I look. I had the irrational urge to laugh as I stared at his rumpled look, imagining the reaction of his staff if they could see their prim and proper CEO looking anything but prim. As I imagined their faces, a fit of hysterical laughter burst out of me as both the doctor and Ethan exchanged twin looks of confusion, probably wondering if I had finally lost it, which just made me laugh harder. A high-pitched cry suddenly c

Alexia’s POV “You are the reason we are late for this dinner! So be ready to handle your mom's complaint.” I said, shooting an accusing look at Ethan as he helped me out of the car.“Don't worry! You can blame me, you can blame me.” He was laughing. I struggled to hold on to my anger as the laughter I had been holding on tried to bubble up at his playfulness. I love Ethan's playful side. It's a side very few people are privileged to see.He took my hand in his ass and ushered me into the mansion.The dining room was as grand as I remembered but it still looked cold and sterile. Our dining room isn't as big and grand as this but I will pick it over this one anytime, any day because of the warmth it exudes.The long table was elegantly set with silverware, crystal glasses, and ivory candles that cast a warm glow across the room. At one end, Ethan’s mom was already fussing over the placements, rearranging flowers and adjusting napkins, her excitement barely contained.As we entered the

Ethan's POV “Gentlemen, I think what you guys have come up with is good but if we want to truly broaden our space in France we could do better than this.” I said viewed the projections on the screen.I leaned back on my chair. One of the benefits of being the CEO is that you are privileged to sit at the head of the table and take in the reaction of your team. I noticed that at more comment some of my team members nodded their agreement while some were still frowning like they don't totally agree with me, which is actually okay by me. I am comfortable enough in my space to allow dissenting opinions so long as the reasons are good. In my view it helps in business.Liam lifted his eyes to meet mine like he was about to say something and just as I was about to tell him to go ahead, my phone buzzed quietly on the table. I glanced down, and a small smile tugged at my lips when I saw it was Alexia's name flash on the screen. This one she is calling me in the middle of work, she must be m

Alexia’s POV I thought about all I had learned this morning as I approached Nathan’s office. What she had found was more complicated than she’d anticipated, and she knew she needed Nathan’s support to get to the bottom of it.I tapped lightly on the frosted glass door, hearing the muffled “Come in” from inside. Taking a deep breath, I stepped in, finding Nathan behind his desk, absorbed in his computer screen, closing the door behind me, as I walked up to his desk. The sound of the door closing, jolted him as he looked up in surprise, his eyes lighting up when he saw her.“You are back so soon?” He asked, sounding surprised.I smiled at him. “Yes, at least for now. I have spoken to a few of your staff, and I think I will speak to the others later. I don't want to rush things so whoever is responsible wouldn't suspect we are unto him or her.Nathan raised an eyebrow, interest immediately piqued. “Did you find anything from the few of them you spoke with?”I nodded, settling into th

Alexia’s POV I munch on the apple Elsie placed in my front earlier. I feel restless as I sit here just eating food and watching TV. I wonder how those stay-at-home moms do it. I envy them because these past couple of weeks off work have me feeling antsy and restless.Our sitting room which was bathed in a soft, afternoon light, with the faint scent of her favorite lavender candle lingering in the air, would usually cheer me up a bit, but today the reverse was the case.I was just reaching for the fashion magazine Stacey brought when she came to visit last week when my phone buzzed.Seeing Nathan’s name flash on the screen, I answered with a calm voice, trying to hide the surprise I felt. This should be the first time I am getting a call from him. "Hey, Nathan! What’s up?""Alexia, sorry to call out of the blue like this," he began, his tone unusually serious. “I know you are on bed rest and shouldn't be doing any work, which is why I feel like shit calling you, but I have exhausted

Ethan's POV I leaned back in my chair, my sharp gaze fixed on the report in front of me. For the umpteenth time, I wish Alexia was here to help me with this. Fielding reports was her area of expertise, not mine.I glared at the series of financial graphs glowing from my tablet screen, if only I could magically wish them away, thought, sighing deeply.Despite the report's importance, my mind was elsewhere. I rubbed a hand across my jaw, lost in thought, wondering if I should take a rare moment off and spend some time with his wife.I have been on these reports for the past two hours and I haven't made much of a progress.Just when I was about to push the report aside and take some much-needed break, my phone rang, jolting me from his reverie. Dad's name flashed like a beacon on the screen and a flicker of surprise coursed through me. I certainly wasn't expecting a call from him. He seldom called unless it was about business.“Dad,” I answered, my voice sounding professional, though w

Ethan's POV I picked up my suit jacket from the back of the chair I had hung it earlier, ready to call it in. It's been one hell of a day filled with a series of meetings. I had barely catch my breath since I got back from my visit with Ken.As I strode out of my office, locking the door behind me, I noticed the lobby was nearly empty, which isn't strange seeing as I am almost always the last to leave the office. Chloe had gone home about an hour ago.I walked through the main hall keeping my stride calm but purposeful.I know looked more relaxed than heI had in the series of meetings as if I was shedding the CEO mantle with each step toward the exit.I took the elevators to the down floor today. I want to conserve the little energy I have left because I intend to play some fun games with Alexia when I get home. I already anticipated the thrill of playing with her would be elicited inside.Stepping out from the elevator I strolled to where my car was parked outside and opened the p
