Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Ex   Chapter 105
ONIKA’S POVThat evening, I lounged in the bathtub, my body sinking into the warmth of the water as I rested my head against the edge. This was pure bliss.The day had been exhausting, from dealing with the exhibition controversy to witnessing Regina’s downfall in court.Still, despite everything, I felt… lighter. The weight on my shoulders had shifted, if only a little. Despite the exhaustion seeping in my bones, I felt…happy.I closed my eyes, letting the scent of lavender and chamomile fill my senses, my fingers tracing slow patterns along the water's surface. My thoughts drifted—to the exhibition, to my work, to Nathan.It was still strange sometimes, knowing we were engaged again. That after everything, we were here. Together.A sudden noise—footsteps, the faint creak of the front door—snapped me from my thoughts. I stiffened slightly, then exhaled, realizing it could only be Nathan.Shaking off my distraction, I reached for my bathrobe, wrapping it around my damp skin as I step

ONIKA’S POVI could hear the applause as I made my way up the stage, the next night. Despite my clammy hands that were shaking from nerves purely, I couldn't help but notice the one thing rushing through me like a storm. Happiness.I smiled as I looked around the room. The turnout was even bigger than before. Some faces were familiar—critics, collectors, artists—but there were new ones too. People who had come to see my work as usual. Each turnout always managed to make me smile.Nathan stood near the front, his gaze locked onto me, a small smirk on his lips.I cleared my throat, gripping the microphone. "Good evening, everyone. First of all, thank you. Truly. This exhibition started as a personal journey, a way for me to express the emotions I couldn't put into words. And yet, here you all are, experiencing it with me once more. That means more than I can say."A few people nodded, some smiling encouragingly.I took a breath, scanning the room. "Most of my pieces in this collection r

ONIKA'S POV“What is it?” I frowned at Laura a few weeks later as she sat in my office.She was leaning back on the chair, an inquisitive look on her face. “You look different…” she noted.I couldn't resist the urge to roll my eyes. “You've been saying that everyday for the last two weeks” I reminded her. I wasn't angry that she was pointing out the obvious, merely tired of it.“Well you can't blame me, I just can't believe how much things have changed over the last month. You're finally getting married before me” She smiled at me and leaned forward in her seat. “We haven't spoken about shopping. Where are we doing that?”I hadn't given much thought to that yet. She was my best friend after all. “Are you kidding me? You're the one in charge of that!” My eyes widened. Did she not remember that she was the one whose business had to do with stuff like this? I had freaking told that she would be the one to pick a cloth and do cosmetics yet here she was asking me about it.She laughed, her

ONIKA'S POVNo.I blinked, my eyes burning, my vision blurring but when I looked again, the images were still there.What did I expect? That it would just disappear like it was just a hoax?Nathan. With another woman.I scrolled back up, down, trying to make sense of it, to find some explanation, but there was none. His bare skin, her tangled hair, the sheets wrapped around them like the clear evidence that once more, he had managed to rip my heart in two.Tears welled in my eyes. A painful lump formed in my throat, choking me.I couldn’t sit here. I couldn’t breathe.I grabbed my bag and stormed out of my office.Amara was walking towards me, a file in her hand. “Oh, Onika—these need your signature before—”“I’ll do it later,” I rushed out, keeping my head down.She frowned, stepping closer, clearly worried. “Are you okay?”I nodded too quickly. “Just—just need some air.”I didn’t wait for her to say anything else. I walked straight to the elevator, hit the button with shaky fingers,

ONIKA'S POV"Water?"Laura’s voice sounded far away, like she wasn't here and was rather far away not in the same office with me. Or maybe I was the one who wasn't here.I barely moved. Barely blinked.I wasn’t crying anymore, but I felt hollow. My chest was heavy, my body drained. I was just... there. Breathing. Existing.Laura sighed beside me as she leaned on her table, exhaustion evident in her voice. “Onika, at least say something. You're scaring me.”I kept my gaze fixed on the coffee table, tracing an invisible pattern on the wooden surface. We'd been here for a few hours and my throat had become parched from the lack of words. I didn't see the need to speak, what would I say?She cursed under her breath. “This isn’t like you.”No, it wasn’t. But I wasn’t myself anymore, was I?Laura ran a frustrated hand through her hair. “Do you want to lie down? Eat something? Anything? Please just tell me if you need something and you'll know I'll get it immediately for you”Nothing. I want

Nathan’s POVShe was mad at me, and I didn’t know why.I had just returned from London, and she’d sounded fine on the phone at first. But now? Now she was silent, her expression unreadable, and it was making me sick with worry.I tried to focus on the road, but my eyes kept flickering to her. Onika sat in the passenger seat, staring blankly out the window. She hadn’t said more than a few words since we left Laura’s office.I cleared my throat, trying to break the silence. “Want to stop by that café you like? The one with the lemon tarts?”She didn’t answer. She was dead silent and each unanswered question made me more uneasy than the last.I drummed my fingers on the steering wheel, refusing to be deterred from making small talk. “Or we could go to the park, get some fresh air? You always say it helps clear your mind.”Nothing. Wow.I exhaled sharply. My chest felt tight and I could feel confusion warring with pain at her silence. “Onika, come on. Talk to me.”She turned her head slig

ONIKA'S POVIt was midnight.I stared at my phone as it vibrated in my lap. Again. Could the damn thing never shut up for just a minute so I could concentrate on the things that mattered right now? I checked the phone again and sighed, seeing that it was exactly whom I expected once more.Laura.I had been ignoring her calls for the past hour, just like I had ignored Nathan’s voice outside the door. But I didn’t turn my phone off. I needed it. I was going to need to make calls.Nathan had gone silent now, but I knew he was still outside, waiting, hoping that I would eventually open the door. He was hovering outside the door and till now, I had no intention of opening it for him.The phone buzzed again.I sighed, finally swiping to answer."What?" I muttered, fiddling with my second hand."Onika? Finally! I’ve been calling you over and over. What the hell is going on?" Laura sounded both relieved and worried.I leaned back against the headboard, pressing my free hand to my temple. "I d

ONIKA'S POVThe morning arrived too quickly.I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, my mind dragged me back to the image on that screen, that forsaken image, to Nathan's voice outside my door, to the ache deep in my chest that wouldn’t leave. I had spent the whole night tossing and turning, exhaustion clinging to my body like a second skin. But sleep? Sleep was impossible when your whole world was crumbling. That's where I found myself now.I managed to walk out of the room in one piece, especially when it felt like someone was slamming a mallet on my head. I gripped the kitchen counter, staring at the steaming cup of coffee I had made but didn’t drink. The house was silent. Not a single sound.Nathan was gone.I had listened for him, expecting movement outside my door, expecting him to try again, but after last night—after I shut him out completely—he had finally stopped. Or so it seemed.And I told myself I didn’t care.I needed to leave this morning anyways.So, I hauled my

"I'm coming she said walking down the stairs making me open my mouth in awe" she was wearing a long white flowing gown it was armless. Though her dressing was simple she still looked really elegant and beautiful in it. I felt so happy that she was going to belong to me soon, she's going to be my wife, my partner and the mother to all my children and I'm going to make everyday of her life a beautiful fairytale. "If you keep staring like that then I'm not sure we would be able to get to our destination before 7" she said teasing me. "It's not my fault, I just can't help but stare at the beautiful angel in my front. You look so beautiful honey" I said pecking her cheeks.

Onika's POV Nathan still wouldn't tell me where he was taking me to he kept insisting that he was a surprise and that I should just be patient and see what was going to happen. "Are you sure you don't want to tell me were we are going Nathan?" I asked for the hundredth time while on the flight. "Just be patient Onika, you would know when you get there" he said with a smile on his face. As the plane touched down, I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement. Nathan still hadn't revealed our destination, but the warm tropical air and palm trees visible from the plane window hinted at a paradise. We collected our luggage and made our way to the taxi stand, where Nathan finally revealed our destination: Nassau, the capital city of the Bahamas.The taxi ride to our resort was a blur of colorful buildings, lively music, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore. As we checked into our luxurious beachfront villa, I couldn't wait to start exploring. Nathan handed me a tropical fl

Nathan's POV I couldn't stop myself from laughing when they both looked at me as if they had heard something bad. "I'm just joking no need to be so serious about it" I said making Laura laugh also."Well I was already planning the way you were going to carry the next baby," Onika said looking at me mischievously. "Com'on ladies can we go and do what we came here for, we need to check the wedding dress fitting for Onika today." I said they both needed. Soon the designer called Onika to come over to try her out her wedding dress. Onika came out of the dressing room looking like an angel the long white dress fitted her perfectly. It was an off shoulder fitted dress with a cape around the waist. I could help but open my mouth agape in shock. "The dress looked perfect on you" I complimented her and she blushed shyly. She change to her old dress while the receptionist packed the wedding dress into a shopping bag. "So my Onika is finally going to have her happy ending and even her dre

Onika's POV It was already time for me to be discharged from the hospital. Nathan has been very happy since the birth of our child, he has always been around, he even went as far as learning how change diapers saying he wanted to act like a normal father and not a billionaire. This act makes my heart melt in love and happiness. My Nathan was no longer the proud and arrogant father, he was now a loving and doting father. "Lucas get the car ready, we need to get going now" Nathan said to his assistant as he carried Daniel in his arms. We finally decided to name our child after Nathan father. Daniel it was such a nice name. Nathan mother was very happy and touched when she heard the name we gave to our child.

We were able to find out the child's gender even though we didn't mean to. Onika's was feeling really skin and we had to do a scan on her that was how we found out about our child's gender.

Onika's POV Nathan mother was standing at the door smiling sheepishly at me, I thought I was dreaming until she spoke up "can I come in?" She asked. I could only nod my head walking back inside as she followed me quietly. "Who's that babe?" Nathan asked while serving the dish on the table."Nathan" his mother called from the living. Making Nathan look up in shock, it was obvious that he had no idea that his mother was coming. "What are you doing here mum?" He asked his face looking stern. "Can't I come to see my son and my future daughter in-law" she said making both of us look up in shock. She walked over to the dinning table sitting on down to have breakfast with us, "will you keep on standing or will you both join in for breakfast" she said serving food into her plate. As we sat down at the table, the tension was palpable. Nathan's eyes were narrowed, and his jaw was clenched. I could tell he was still upset with his mother.Willow, on the other hand, seemed determined to ma

Onika's POV "Let's leave this place" I said to Nathan feeling nauseous after see so much blood. I still can't believe that Gina killed herself just like that. Even though she made my life a living hell from the beginning, I was still willing to forgive her but she ended her own life just to escape prison. I feel like I'm the one to blame for this. Nathan held my hand in a comforting manner "it's not your fault Onika she brought it upon herself" he said leading me out of the hospital. Nathan drove us back to the house in silence, he seems to be contemplating on what to say. "How are you feeling now?" I asked smiling a bit. "I'm okay, I just had bruises on my stomach and my head" he said making me look up at the bandage on his head. It was already turning red now. It seems his wound has reopened. I made a mental note to myself to change it when we get home. As we arrived home, Nathan seemed to be struggling to keep his balance. He was weak and pale, and I could tell that he was in

Nathan's POV I opened my eyes slightly looking around to see the doctors and nurses walking around my room carrying trays with some medical stuffs on them. "Doctor, Mr Nathan has regained consciousness" one of the nurses said calling the attention of the doctor. He came closer to me checking my vitals and injures to see how I was doing, "thank goodness mr McAllison you woke up sooner than we expected. Do you know where you are or do you recall anything?" He asked. "Calm down doctor I haven't lost my memory yet" I replied him jokingly looking around the room in search for onika. "Any problem Mr McAllison?" He asked when he noticed me looking around confused. "Where is onika, doctor?" I asked him as he looked at me confused. "The police contacted Miss onika when you got an accident but she is yet to come Mr Nathan" the doctor said. "What that can only mean that something bad had happened to onika, call my assistant for me" I said feeling really anxious. "Sir, you are awake, are

Onika's POV I braced myself for death.Tears streamed down my face as I waited for the gunshot that would end my life. My chest tightened, my breaths coming in shallow gasps. My child... they wouldn’t get to see the world, to take their first breath, to feel my love.It was heartbreaking.I squeezed my eyes shut.But the bullet never came.“What the hell?” Gina's voice dripped with rage.My eyelids fluttered open, and through my blurry vision, I saw her shaking the gun, pulling the trigger repeatedly. Nothing happened.The gun was empty.A dry laugh escaped my lips before I could stop it.Gina’s furious gaze snapped toward me, and for a split second, I saw something else beneath her anger, panic. She hadn’t expected this.Her face twisted, and before I could react, she struck me hard across the face.Pain exploded in my skull, my head snapping to the side. Blood filled my mouth, the sharp metallic taste making me gag. I gasped, blinking through the ringing in my ears.“Just wait, Oni
